Chapter 6

19:119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thyrighteousness.

19:119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach methy statutes.

19:119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thytestimonies.

19:119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made voidthy law.

19:119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above finegold.

19:119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things tobe right; and I hate every false way.

19:119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keepthem.

19:119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it givethunderstanding unto the simple.

19:119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thycommandments.

19:119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest todo unto those that love thy name.

19:119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity havedominion over me.

19:119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thyprecepts.

19:119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thystatutes.

19:119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thylaw.

19:119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

19:119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous andvery faithful.

19:119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgottenthy words.

19:119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

19:119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

19:119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy lawis the truth.

19:119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thycommandments are my delights.

19:119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give meunderstanding, and I shall live.

19:119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thystatutes.

19:119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

19:119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped inthy word.

19:119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate inthy word.

19:119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD,quicken me according to thy judgment.

19:119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far fromthy law.

19:119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

19:119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hastfounded them for ever.

19:119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forgetthy law.

19:119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thyword.

19:119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thystatutes.

19:119:156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according tothy judgments.

19:119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not declinefrom thy testimonies.

19:119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they keptnot thy word.

19:119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,according to thy lovingkindness.

19:119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thyrighteous judgments endureth for ever.

19:119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heartstandeth in awe of thy word.

19:119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

19:119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.

19:119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteousjudgments.

19:119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shalloffend them.

19:119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thycommandments.

19:119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love themexceedingly.

19:119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my waysare before thee.

19:119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give meunderstanding according to thy word.

19:119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according tothy word.

19:119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thystatutes.

19:119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandmentsare righteousness.

19:119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

19:119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is mydelight.

19:119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thyjudgments help me.

19:119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for Ido not forget thy commandments.

19:120:001 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

19:120:002 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitfultongue.

19:120:003 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done untothee, thou false tongue?

19:120:004 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

19:120:005 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

19:120:006 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

19:120:007 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

19:121:001 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

19:121:002 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

19:121:003 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth theewill not slumber.

19:121:004 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber norsleep.

19:121:005 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy righthand.

19:121:006 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

19:121:007 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preservethy soul.

19:121:008 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in fromthis time forth, and even for evermore.

19:122:001 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house ofthe LORD.

19:122:002 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

19:122:003 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

19:122:004 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto thetestimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

19:122:005 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of thehouse of David.

19:122:006 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that lovethee.

19:122:007 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

19:122:008 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

19:122:009 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

19:123:001 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

19:123:002 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

19:123:003 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we areexceedingly filled with contempt.

19:123:004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those thatare at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

19:124:001 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now mayIsrael say;

19:124:002 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men roseup against us:

19:124:003 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath waskindled against us:

19:124:004 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone overour soul:

19:124:005 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

19:124:006 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to theirteeth.

19:124:007 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

19:124:008 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven andearth.

19:125:001 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, whichcannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

19:125:002 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD isround about his people from henceforth even for ever.

19:125:003 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

19:125:004 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

19:125:005 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

19:126:001 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

19:126:002 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

19:126:003 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

19:126:004 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

19:126:005 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

19:126:006 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shalldoubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves withhim.

19:127:001 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain thatbuild it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakethbut in vain.

19:127:002 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eatthe bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

19:127:003 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of thewomb is his reward.

19:127:004 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children ofthe youth.

19:127:005 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

19:128:001 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh inhis ways.

19:128:002 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thoube, and it shall be well with thee.

19:128:003 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thinehouse: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

19:128:004 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth theLORD.

19:128:005 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see thegood of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

19:128:006 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace uponIsrael.

19:129:001 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israelnow say:

19:129:002 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet theyhave not prevailed against me.

19:129:003 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

19:129:004 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

19:129:005 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

19:129:006 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which witherethafore it groweth up:

19:129:007 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindethsheaves his bosom.

19:129:008 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD beupon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

19:130:001 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

19:130:002 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voiceof my supplications.

19:130:003 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shallstand?

19:130:004 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest befeared.

19:130:005 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do Ihope.

19:130:006 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for themorning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

19:130:007 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy,and with him is plenteous redemption.

19:130:008 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

19:131:001 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

19:131:002 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

19:131:003 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

19:132:001 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

19:132:002 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God ofJacob;

19:132:003 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor goup into my bed;

19:132:004 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mineeyelids,

19:132:005 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for themighty God of Jacob.

19:132:006 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields ofthe wood.

19:132:007 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at hisfootstool.

19:132:008 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thystrength.

19:132:009 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thysaints shout for joy.

19:132:010 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thineanointed.

19:132:011 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn fromit; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

19:132:012 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

19:132:013 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for hishabitation.

19:132:014 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I havedesired it.

19:132:015 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poorwith bread.

19:132:016 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saintsshall shout aloud for joy.

19:132:017 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained alamp for mine anointed.

19:132:018 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shallhis crown flourish.

19:133:001 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwelltogether in unity!

19:133:002 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran downupon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to theskirts of his garments;

19:133:003 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon themountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing,even life for evermore.

19:134:001 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

19:134:002 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

19:134:003 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

19:135:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praisehim, O ye servants of the LORD.

19:135:002 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of thehouse of our God.

19:135:003 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto hisname; for it is pleasant.

19:135:004 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel forhis peculiar treasure.

19:135:005 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is aboveall gods.

19:135:006 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and inearth, in the seas, and all deep places.

19:135:007 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

19:135:008 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

19:135:009 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

19:135:010 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

19:135:011 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all thekingdoms of Canaan:

19:135:012 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israelhis people.

19:135:013 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,throughout all generations.

19:135:014 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himselfconcerning his servants.

19:135:015 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work ofmen's hands.

19:135:016 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but theysee not;

19:135:017 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breathin their mouths.

19:135:018 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one thattrusteth in them.

19:135:019 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house ofAaron:

19:135:020 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, blessthe LORD.

19:135:021 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.Praise ye the LORD.

19:136:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercyendureth for ever.

19:136:002 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever.

19:136:003 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth forever.

19:136:004 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endurethfor ever.

19:136:005 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endurethfor ever.

19:136:006 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for hismercy endureth for ever.

19:136:007 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth forever:

19:136:008 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:009 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endurethfor ever.

19:136:010 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercyendureth for ever:

19:136:011 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endurethfor ever:

19:136:012 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for hismercy endureth for ever.

19:136:013 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercyendureth for ever:

19:136:014 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercyendureth for ever:

19:136:015 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for hismercy endureth for ever.

19:136:016 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for hismercy endureth for ever.

19:136:017 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth forever:

19:136:018 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:019 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:020 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:021 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endurethfor ever:

19:136:022 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercyendureth for ever.

19:136:023 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endurethfor ever:

19:136:024 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endurethfor ever.

19:136:025 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:026 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endurethfor ever.

19:137:001 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept,when we remembered Zion.

19:137:002 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

19:137:003 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

19:137:004 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

19:137:005 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget hercunning.

19:137:006 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof ofmy mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

19:137:007 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

19:137:008 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall hebe, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

19:137:009 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little onesagainst the stones.

19:138:001 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will Ising praise unto thee.

19:138:002 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

19:138:003 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedstme with strength in my soul.

19:138:004 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, whenthey hear the words of thy mouth.

19:138:005 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is theglory of the LORD.

19:138:006 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:but the proud he knoweth afar off.

19:138:007 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me:thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mineenemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

19:138:008 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, OLORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine ownhands.

19:139:001 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

19:139:002 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thouunderstandest my thought afar off.

19:139:003 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquaintedwith all my ways.

19:139:004 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thouknowest it altogether.

19:139:005 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand uponme.

19:139:006 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannotattain unto it.

19:139:007 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I fleefrom thy presence?

19:139:008 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bedin hell, behold, thou art there.

19:139:009 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermostparts of the sea;

19:139:010 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shallhold me.

19:139:011 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the nightshall be light about me.

19:139:012 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shinethas the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

19:139:013 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in mymother's womb.

19:139:014 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

19:139:015 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

19:139:016 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

19:139:017 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how greatis the sum of them!

19:139:018 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:when I awake, I am still with thee.

19:139:019 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from metherefore, ye bloody men.

19:139:020 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies takethy name in vain.

19:139:021 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not Igrieved with those that rise up against thee?

19:139:022 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

19:139:023 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know mythoughts:

19:139:024 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in theway everlasting.

19:140:001 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from theviolent man;

19:140:002 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are theygathered together for war.

19:140:003 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders'poison is under their lips. Selah.

19:140:004 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

19:140:005 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spreada net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

19:140:006 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of mysupplications, O LORD.

19:140:007 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hastcovered my head in the day of battle.

19:140:008 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not hiswicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

19:140:009 As for the head of those that compass me about, let themischief of their own lips cover them.

19:140:010 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into thefire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

19:140:011 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evilshall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

19:140:012 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,and the right of the poor.

19:140:013 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: theupright shall dwell in thy presence.

19:141:001 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto myvoice, when I cry unto thee.

19:141:002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and thelifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

19:141:003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of mylips.

19:141:004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

19:141:005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

19:141:006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shallhear my words; for they are sweet.

19:141:007 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when onecutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

19:141:008 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is mytrust; leave not my soul destitute.

19:141:009 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and thegins of the workers of iniquity.

19:141:010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withalescape.

19:142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto theLORD did I make my supplication.

19:142:002 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him mytrouble.

19:142:003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest mypath. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid asnare for me.

19:142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no manthat would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for mysoul.

19:142:005 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and myportion in the land of the living.

19:142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me frommy persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

19:142:007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

19:143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thyfaithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

19:143:002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sightshall no man living be justified.

19:143:003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

19:143:004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart withinme is desolate.

19:143:005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; Imuse on the work of thy hands.

19:143:006 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth afterthee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

19:143:007 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy facefrom me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

19:143:008 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

19:143:009 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee tohide me.

19:143:010 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit isgood; lead me into the land of uprightness.

19:143:011 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thyrighteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

19:143:012 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all themthat afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

19:144:001 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands towar, and my fingers to fight:

19:144:002 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

19:144:003 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or theson of man, that thou makest account of him!

19:144:004 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passethaway.

19:144:005 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains,and they shall smoke.

19:144:006 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thinearrows, and destroy them.

19:144:007 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out ofgreat waters, from the hand of strange children;

19:144:008 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a righthand of falsehood.

19:144:009 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery andan instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

19:144:010 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who deliverethDavid his servant from the hurtful sword.

19:144:011 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a righthand of falsehood:

19:144:012 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; thatour daughters may be as corner stones, polished after thesimilitude of a palace:

19:144:013 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store:that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands inour streets:

19:144:014 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be nobreaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining inour streets.

19:144:015 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy isthat people, whose God is the LORD.

19:145:001 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy namefor ever and ever.

19:145:002 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever.

19:145:003 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and hisgreatness is unsearchable.

19:145:004 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shalldeclare thy mighty acts.

19:145:005 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thywondrous works.

19:145:006 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and Iwill declare thy greatness.

19:145:007 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness,and shall sing of thy righteousness.

19:145:008 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger,and of great mercy.

19:145:009 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over allhis works.

19:145:010 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shallbless thee.

19:145:011 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thypower;

19:145:012 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and theglorious majesty of his kingdom.

19:145:013 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominionendureth throughout all generations.

19:145:014 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all thosethat be bowed down.

19:145:015 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them theirmeat in due season.

19:145:016 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of everyliving thing.

19:145:017 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all hisworks.

19:145:018 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all thatcall upon him in truth.

19:145:019 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also willhear their cry, and will save them.

19:145:020 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wickedwill he destroy.

19:145:021 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all fleshbless his holy name for ever and ever.

19:146:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

19:146:002 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises untomy God while I have any being.

19:146:003 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whomthere is no help.

19:146:004 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in thatvery day his thoughts perish.

19:146:005 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whosehope is in the LORD his God:

19:146:006 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that thereinis: which keepeth truth for ever:

19:146:007 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth foodto the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

19:146:008 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth themthat are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

19:146:009 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherlessand widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

19:146:010 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto allgenerations. Praise ye the LORD.

19:147:001 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto ourGod; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

19:147:002 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together theoutcasts of Israel.

19:147:003 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

19:147:004 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all bytheir names.

19:147:005 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding isinfinite.

19:147:006 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down tothe ground.

19:147:007 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon theharp unto our God:

19:147:008 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain forthe earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

19:147:009 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens whichcry.

19:147:010 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh notpleasure in the legs of a man.

19:147:011 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those thathope in his mercy.

19:147:012 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

19:147:013 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hathblessed thy children within thee.

19:147:014 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with thefinest of the wheat.

19:147:015 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runnethvery swiftly.

19:147:016 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost likeashes.

19:147:017 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand beforehis cold?

19:147:018 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his windto blow, and the waters flow.

19:147:019 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgmentsunto Israel.

19:147:020 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for hisjudgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

19:148:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:praise him in the heights.

19:148:004 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be abovethe heavens.

19:148:005 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, andthey were created.

19:148:006 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made adecree which shall not pass.

19:148:007 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

19:148:010 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

19:148:011 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:

19:149:005 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upontheir beds.
