19:055:006 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would Ifly away, and be at rest.
19:055:007 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.Selah.
19:055:008 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
19:055:009 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seenviolence and strife in the city.
19:055:010 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
19:055:011 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile departnot from her streets.
19:055:012 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
19:055:013 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mineacquaintance.
19:055:014 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house ofGod in company.
19:055:015 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick intohell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
19:055:016 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
19:055:017 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:and he shall hear my voice.
19:055:018 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that wasagainst me: for there were many with me.
19:055:019 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear notGod.
19:055:020 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
19:055:021 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
19:055:022 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
19:055:023 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
19:056:001 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; hefighting daily oppresseth me.
19:056:002 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many thatfight against me, O thou most High.
19:056:003 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
19:056:004 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; Iwill not fear what flesh can do unto me.
19:056:005 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are againstme for evil.
19:056:006 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, theymark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
19:056:007 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down thepeople, O God.
19:056:008 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:are they not in thy book?
19:056:009 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: thisI know; for God is for me.
19:056:010 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise hisword.
19:056:011 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man cando unto me.
19:056:012 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
19:056:013 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thoudeliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God inthe light of the living?
19:057:001 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soultrusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I makemy refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
19:057:002 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
19:057:003 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach ofhim that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth hismercy and his truth.
19:057:004 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are seton fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears andarrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
19:057:005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
19:057:006 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
19:057:007 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing andgive praise.
19:057:008 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself willawake early.
19:057:009 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing untothee among the nations.
19:057:010 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth untothe clouds.
19:057:011 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory beabove all the earth.
19:058:001 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judgeuprightly, O ye sons of men?
19:058:002 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence ofyour hands in the earth.
19:058:003 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soonas they be born, speaking lies.
19:058:004 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are likethe deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
19:058:005 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charmingnever so wisely.
19:058:006 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the greatteeth of the young lions, O LORD.
19:058:007 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when hebendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut inpieces.
19:058:008 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away:like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see thesun.
19:058:009 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them awayas with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
19:058:010 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: heshall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
19:058:011 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for therighteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
19:059:001 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from themthat rise up against me.
19:059:002 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me frombloody men.
19:059:003 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gatheredagainst me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
19:059:004 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake tohelp me, and behold.
19:059:005 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
19:059:006 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and goround about the city.
19:059:007 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in theirlips: for who, say they, doth hear?
19:059:008 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all theheathen in derision.
19:059:009 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is mydefence.
19:059:010 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see mydesire upon mine enemies.
19:059:011 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thypower; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
19:059:012 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips letthem even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lyingwhich they speak.
19:059:013 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: andlet them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of theearth. Selah.
19:059:014 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise likea dog, and go round about the city.
19:059:015 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they benot satisfied.
19:059:016 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
19:059:017 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence,and the God of my mercy.
19:060:001 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thouhast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
19:060:002 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: healthe breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
19:060:003 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us todrink the wine of astonishment.
19:060:004 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it maybe displayed because of the truth. Selah.
19:060:005 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand,and hear me.
19:060:006 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divideShechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
19:060:007 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is thestrength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
19:060:008 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
19:060:009 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me intoEdom?
19:060:010 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, OGod, which didst not go out with our armies?
19:060:011 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
19:060:012 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
19:061:001 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
19:061:002 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heartis overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
19:061:003 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower fromthe enemy.
19:061:004 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in thecovert of thy wings. Selah.
19:061:005 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me theheritage of those that fear thy name.
19:061:006 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as manygenerations.
19:061:007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,which may preserve him.
19:061:008 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may dailyperform my vows.
19:062:001 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
19:062:002 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
19:062:003 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall beslain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as atottering fence.
19:062:004 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: theydelight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curseinwardly. Selah.
19:062:005 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is fromhim.
19:062:006 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shallnot be moved.
19:062:007 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,and my refuge, is in God.
19:062:008 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heartbefore him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
19:062:009 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
19:062:010 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: ifriches increase, set not your heart upon them.
19:062:011 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that powerbelongeth unto God.
19:062:012 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest toevery man according to his work.
19:063:001 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
19:063:002 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in thesanctuary.
19:063:003 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shallpraise thee.
19:063:004 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my handsin thy name.
19:063:005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and mymouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
19:063:006 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in thenight watches.
19:063:007 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thywings will I rejoice.
19:063:008 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdethme.
19:063:009 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into thelower parts of the earth.
19:063:010 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion forfoxes.
19:063:011 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
19:064:001 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fearof the enemy.
19:064:002 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from theinsurrection of the workers of iniquity:
19:064:003 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows toshoot their arrows, even bitter words:
19:064:004 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do theyshoot at him, and fear not.
19:064:005 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune oflaying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
19:064:006 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
19:064:007 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall theybe wounded.
19:064:008 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:all that see them shall flee away.
19:064:009 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; forthey shall wisely consider of his doing.
19:064:010 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust inhim; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
19:065:001 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shallthe vow be performed.
19:065:002 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
19:065:003 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
19:065:004 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
19:065:005 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
19:065:006 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girdedwith power:
19:065:007 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of theirwaves, and the tumult of the people.
19:065:008 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thytokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and eveningto rejoice.
19:065:009 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatlyenrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
19:065:010 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest thefurrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thoublessest the springing thereof.
19:065:011 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths dropfatness.
19:065:012 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the littlehills rejoice on every side.
19:065:013 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also arecovered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
19:066:001 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
19:066:002 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
19:066:003 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
19:066:004 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee;they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
19:066:005 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doingtoward the children of men.
19:066:006 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the floodon foot: there did we rejoice in him.
19:066:007 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
19:066:008 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praiseto be heard:
19:066:009 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet tobe moved.
19:066:010 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silveris tried.
19:066:011 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction uponour loins.
19:066:012 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
19:066:013 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay theemy vows,
19:066:014 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when Iwas in trouble.
19:066:015 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with theincense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
19:066:016 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare whathe hath done for my soul.
19:066:017 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with mytongue.
19:066:018 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19:066:019 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice ofmy prayer.
19:066:020 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor hismercy from me.
19:067:001 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face toshine upon us; Selah.
19:067:002 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health amongall nations.
19:067:003 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praisethee.
19:067:004 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
19:067:005 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praisethee.
19:067:006 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our ownGod, shall bless us.
19:067:007 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fearhim.
19:068:001 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them alsothat hate him flee before him.
19:068:002 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
19:068:003 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
19:068:004 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that ridethupon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
19:068:005 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is Godin his holy habitation.
19:068:006 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
19:068:007 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
19:068:008 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
19:068:009 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didstconfirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
19:068:010 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hastprepared of thy goodness for the poor.
19:068:011 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those thatpublished it.
19:068:012 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at homedivided the spoil.
19:068:013 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
19:068:014 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snowin Salmon.
19:068:015 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as thehill of Bashan.
19:068:016 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which Goddesireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
19:068:017 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands ofangels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holyplace.
19:068:018 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebelliousalso, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19:068:019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, eventhe God of our salvation. Selah.
19:068:020 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD theLord belong the issues from death.
19:068:021 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairyscalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
19:068:022 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring mypeople again from the depths of the sea:
19:068:023 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, andthe tongue of thy dogs in the same.
19:068:024 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God,my King, in the sanctuary.
19:068:025 The singers went before, the players on instruments followedafter; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
19:068:026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from thefountain of Israel.
19:068:027 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
19:068:028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, thatwhich thou hast wrought for us.
19:068:029 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presentsunto thee.
19:068:030 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
19:068:031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretchout her hands unto God.
19:068:032 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises untothe Lord; Selah:
19:068:033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were ofold; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
19:068:034 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel,and his strength is in the clouds.
19:068:035 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God ofIsrael is he that giveth strength and power unto his people.Blessed be God.
19:069:001 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
19:069:002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am comeinto deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
19:069:003 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes failwhile I wait for my God.
19:069:004 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
19:069:005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
19:069:006 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
19:069:007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath coveredmy face.
19:069:008 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto mymother's children.
19:069:009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and thereproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
19:069:010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was tomy reproach.
19:069:011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb tothem.
19:069:012 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the songof the drunkards.
19:069:013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
19:069:014 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me bedelivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
19:069:015 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deepswallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
19:069:016 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto meaccording to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
19:069:017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:hear me speedily.
19:069:018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because ofmine enemies.
19:069:019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:mine adversaries are all before thee.
19:069:020 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
19:069:021 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gaveme vinegar to drink.
19:069:022 Let their table become a snare before them: and that whichshould have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
19:069:023 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make theirloins continually to shake.
19:069:024 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathfulanger take hold of them.
19:069:025 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in theirtents.
19:069:026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talkto the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
19:069:027 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come intothy righteousness.
19:069:028 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not bewritten with the righteous.
19:069:029 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set meup on high.
19:069:030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnifyhim with thanksgiving.
19:069:031 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullockthat hath horns and hoofs.
19:069:032 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shalllive that seek God.
19:069:033 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not hisprisoners.
19:069:034 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thingthat moveth therein.
19:069:035 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
19:069:036 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they thatlove his name shall dwell therein.
19:070:002 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
19:070:003 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
19:070:004 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
19:070:005 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou artmy help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
19:071:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put toconfusion.
19:071:002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
19:071:003 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
19:071:004 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out ofthe hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
19:071:005 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from myyouth.
19:071:006 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
19:071:007 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
19:071:008 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour allthe day.
19:071:009 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when mystrength faileth.
19:071:010 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait formy soul take counsel together,
19:071:011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; forthere is none to deliver him.
19:071:012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
19:071:013 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
19:071:014 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more andmore.
19:071:015 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvationall the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
19:071:016 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mentionof thy righteousness, even of thine only.
19:071:017 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have Ideclared thy wondrous works.
19:071:018 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19:071:019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
19:071:020 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
19:071:021 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
19:071:022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
19:071:023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
19:071:024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
19:072:001 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness untothe king's son.
19:072:002 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poorwith judgment.
19:072:003 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the littlehills, by righteousness.
19:072:004 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
19:072:005 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,throughout all generations.
19:072:006 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showersthat water the earth.
19:072:007 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance ofpeace so long as the moon endureth.
19:072:008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from theriver unto the ends of the earth.
19:072:009 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; andhis enemies shall lick the dust.
19:072:010 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
19:072:011 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shallserve him.
19:072:012 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also,and him that hath no helper.
19:072:013 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls ofthe needy.
19:072:014 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: andprecious shall their blood be in his sight.
19:072:015 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold ofSheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; anddaily shall he be praised.
19:072:016 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top ofthe mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: andthey of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
19:072:017 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued aslong as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nationsshall call him blessed.
19:072:018 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doethwondrous things.
19:072:019 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the wholeearth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
19:072:020 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
19:073:001 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a cleanheart.
19:073:002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had wellnigh slipped.
19:073:003 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity ofthe wicked.
19:073:004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength isfirm.
19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plaguedlike other men.
19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violencecovereth them as a garment.
19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heartcould wish.
19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:they speak loftily.
19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tonguewalketh through the earth.
19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cupare wrung out to them.
19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in themost High?
19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; theyincrease in riches.
19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my handsin innocency.
19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened everymorning.
19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend againstthe generation of thy children.
19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood Itheir end.
19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedstthem down into destruction.
19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they areutterly consumed with terrors.
19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest,thou shalt despise their image.
19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden meby my right hand.
19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive meto glory.
19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earththat I desire beside thee.
19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of myheart, and my portion for ever.
19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hastdestroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
19:073:028 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trustin the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thineanger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
19:074:003 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all thatthe enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
19:074:004 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they setup their ensigns for signs.
19:074:005 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon thethick trees.
19:074:006 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once withaxes and hammers.
19:074:007 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled bycasting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
19:074:008 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: theyhave burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
19:074:009 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither isthere among us any that knoweth how long.
19:074:010 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemyblaspheme thy name for ever?
19:074:011 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck itout of thy bosom.
19:074:012 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst ofthe earth.
19:074:013 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest theheads of the dragons in the waters.
19:074:014 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest himto be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
19:074:015 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst upmighty rivers.
19:074:016 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast preparedthe light and the sun.
19:074:017 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast madesummer and winter.
19:074:018 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, andthat the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19:074:019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude ofthe wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
19:074:020 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of theearth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
19:074:021 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needypraise thy name.
19:074:022 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolishman reproacheth thee daily.
19:074:023 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of thosethat rise up against thee increaseth continually.
19:075:001 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we givethanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
19:075:002 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
19:075:003 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: Ibear up the pillars of it. Selah.
19:075:004 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked,Lift not up the horn:
19:075:005 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
19:075:006 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,nor from the south.
19:075:007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth upanother.
19:075:008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
19:075:009 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God ofJacob.
19:075:010 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the hornsof the righteous shall be exalted.
19:076:001 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
19:076:002 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place inZion.
19:076:003 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and thesword, and the battle. Selah.
19:076:004 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains ofprey.
19:076:005 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: andnone of the men of might have found their hands.
19:076:006 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse arecast into a dead sleep.
19:076:007 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thysight when once thou art angry?
19:076:008 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earthfeared, and was still,
19:076:009 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.Selah.
19:076:010 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder ofwrath shalt thou restrain.
19:076:011 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be roundabout him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
19:076:012 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to thekings of the earth.
19:077:001 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice;and he gave ear unto me.
19:077:002 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in thenight, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
19:077:003 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and myspirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
19:077:004 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannotspeak.
19:077:005 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
19:077:006 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune withmine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
19:077:007 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable nomore?
19:077:008 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail forevermore?
19:077:009 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut uphis tender mercies? Selah.
19:077:010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember theyears of the right hand of the most High.
19:077:011 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will rememberthy wonders of old.
19:077:012 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
19:077:013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God asour God?
19:077:014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thystrength among the people.
19:077:015 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons ofJacob and Joseph. Selah.
19:077:016 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they wereafraid: the depths also were troubled.
19:077:017 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thinearrows also went abroad.
19:077:018 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightningslightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19:077:019 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, andthy footsteps are not known.
19:077:020 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses andAaron.
19:078:001 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to thewords of my mouth.
19:078:002 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayingsof old:
19:078:003 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
19:078:004 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to thegeneration to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength,and his wonderful works that he hath done.
19:078:005 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a lawin Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shouldmake them known to their children:
19:078:006 That the generation to come might know them, even the childrenwhich should be born; who should arise and declare them totheir children:
19:078:007 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
19:078:008 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
19:078:009 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows,turned back in the day of battle.
19:078:010 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in hislaw;
19:078:011 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
19:078:012 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in theland of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
19:078:013 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and hemade the waters to stand as an heap.
19:078:014 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all thenight with a light of fire.
19:078:015 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink asout of the great depths.
19:078:016 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters torun down like rivers.
19:078:017 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the mostHigh in the wilderness.
19:078:018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for theirlust.
19:078:019 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish atable in the wilderness?
19:078:020 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
19:078:021 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire waskindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
19:078:022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in hissalvation:
19:078:023 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened thedoors of heaven,
19:078:024 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given themof the corn of heaven.
19:078:025 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
19:078:026 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his powerhe brought in the south wind.
19:078:027 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowlslike as the sand of the sea:
19:078:028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round abouttheir habitations.
19:078:029 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them theirown desire;
19:078:030 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meatwas yet in their mouths,
19:078:031 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them,and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
19:078:032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for hiswondrous works.
