Chapter 45

105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.105:27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.106:32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.106:48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.107:15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.107:21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.107:42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.108:1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.108:4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;108:9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?108:11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.109:1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.109:16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.109:22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:109:27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.111:2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.111:3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.111:6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.111:7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.112:5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.112:8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.112:10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.113:4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.113:5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,113:6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;113:8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.114:3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.114:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;114:8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.Praise the LORD.116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.116:19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.118:12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.118:23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.118:27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.119:4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.119:12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.119:17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.119:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.119:41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.119:49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.119:57 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.119:58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.119:65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.119:72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.119:73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.119:84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.119:86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.119:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.119:92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.119:94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.119:97 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.119:121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.119:156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.120:1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.122:7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.122:8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.123:1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.123:2 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.123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.125:5 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.126:1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.126:2 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.126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.127:5 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.128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.128:3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.129:1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.129:4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.131:1 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.131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.132:1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.132:10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.132:12 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.132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.134:1 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.135:7 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.135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.135:9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.135:13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.135:18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.Praise ye the LORD.136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:22 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:136:24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.137:3 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.137:4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.138:2 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.

105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

105:27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.

106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

106:32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

106:48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

107:15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

107:21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.

107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

107:42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

108:1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

108:4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

108:9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

108:11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

109:1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

109:16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

109:22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

109:27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

111:2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

111:3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

111:6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

111:7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

112:5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

112:8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

112:10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.

113:4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

113:5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

113:6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

113:8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

114:2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

114:3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

114:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

114:8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

Praise the LORD.

116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

116:19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.

118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

118:23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

118:27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

119:4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

119:8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

119:12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

119:17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

119:20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

119:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

119:26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

119:32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

119:41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

119:46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

119:49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

119:53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

119:56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

119:57 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

119:58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

119:65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.

119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

119:72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

119:73 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

119:74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

119:79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

119:80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

119:84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

119:86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

119:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

119:92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

119:94 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.

119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

119:97 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

119:121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

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

119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

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

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

119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

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

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

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

119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

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

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

119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

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

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

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

119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

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

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

119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

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

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

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

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

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

119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

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

119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

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

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

119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.

119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

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

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

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

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

120:1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

122:2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

122:7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

122:8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

123:2 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.

123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

125:5 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.

126:1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

126:2 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.

126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

127:5 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.

128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

128:3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

128:5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

129:1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

129:4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

131:1 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.

131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

132:1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

132:10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

132:12 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.

132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

134:1 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

134:3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

135:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

135:7 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.

135:8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

135:9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

135:12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

135:13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

135:15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

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

135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.

Praise ye the LORD.

136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

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

136:20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:22 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

136:24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

137:3 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.

137:4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?

137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

138:1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

138:2 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.
