Brenton Translation
1851 by Lancelot Brenton
Psa 1:1 ¶ Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.
Psa 1:2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.
Psa 1:4 ¶ Not so the ungodly;—not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
Psa 1:6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psa 2:1 ¶ Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
Psa 2:3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
Psa 2:4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
Psa 2:6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
Psa 2:7 ¶ declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.
Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] thy possession.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.
Psa 2:10 ¶ Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
Psa 3:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom.> O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
Psa 3:2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. Pause.
Psa 3:3 But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
Psa 3:4 ¶ I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. Pause.
Psa 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
Psa 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.
Psa 3:7 Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Psa 3:8 Deliverance is the Lord’s, and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Psa 4:1 ¶ <For the End, a Song of David among [the] Psalms.> When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
Psa 4:2 O ye sons on men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause.
Psa 4:3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Psa 4:4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. Pause.
Psa 4:5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Psa 4:6 ¶ Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Psa 4:7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
Psa 4:8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
Psa 5:1 ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits.> Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
Psa 5:2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
Psa 5:3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
Psa 5:4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
Psa 5:5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
Psa 5:6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Psa 5:7 ¶ But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
Psa 5:8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.
Psa 5:9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
Psa 5:10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
Psa 5:11 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
Psa 5:12 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
Psa 6:1 ¶ <For the End, a Psalm of David among the Hymns for the eighth.> O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
Psa 6:2 Pity me, O Lord; for I am weak: heal me, O Lord; for my bones are vexed.
Psa 6:3 My soul also is grievously vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
Psa 6:4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: save me for thy mercy’s sake.
Psa 6:5 For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades?
Psa 6:6 I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with tears.
Psa 6:7 Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies.
Psa 6:8 ¶ Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
Psa 6:10 Let all mine enemies be put to shame and sore troubled: let them be turned back and grievously put to shame speedily.
Psa 7:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite.> O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Psa 7:2 Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
Psa 7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;)
Psa 7:4 if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
Psa 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause.
Psa 7:6 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.
Psa 7:7 And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
Psa 7:8 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
Psa 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
Psa 7:10 ¶ My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
Psa 7:11 God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
Psa 7:12 If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
Psa 7:13 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
Psa 7:14 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
Psa 7:15 He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
Psa 7:16 His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
Psa 7:17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
Psa 8:1 ¶ <For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David.> O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth! for thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou perfected praise, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest put down the enemy and avenger.
Psa 8:3 ¶ For I will regard the heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and stars, which thou hast established.
Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psa 8:5 Thou madest him a little less than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour;
Psa 8:6 and thou hast set him over the works of thy hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psa 8:7 sheep and all oxen, yea and the cattle of the field;
Psa 8:8 the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, the [creatures] passing through the paths of the sea.
Psa 8:9 O Lord our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the earth!
Psa 9:1 ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son.> I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
Psa 9:2 I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.
Psa 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
Psa 9:4 For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
Psa 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
Psa 9:6 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
Psa 9:7 but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
Psa 9:8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
Psa 9:9 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
Psa 9:10 And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
Psa 9:11 ¶ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
Psa 9:12 For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
Psa 9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
Psa 9:14 that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.
Psa 9:15 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
Psa 9:16 The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.
Psa 9:17 Let sinners be driven away into Hades, [even] all the nations that forget God.
Psa 9:18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
Psa 9:19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.
Psa 9:20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. Pause.
Psa 10:1 ¶ Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
Psa 10:2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
Psa 10:3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
Psa 10:4 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
Psa 10:5 His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
Psa 10:6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
Psa 10:7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
Psa 10:8 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
Psa 10:9 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
Psa 10:10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
Psa 10:11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
Psa 10:12 ¶ Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
Psa 10:13 Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
Psa 10:14 Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
Psa 10:16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
Psa 10:17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
Psa 10:18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
Psa 11:1 (10:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David.> In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, (10:2) Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?
Psa 11:2 (10:3) For behold the sinners have bent their [bow], they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.
Psa 11:3 (10:4) For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
Psa 11:4 (10:5) ¶ The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men.
Psa 11:5 (10:6) The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.
Psa 11:6 (10:7) He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 (10:8) For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.
Psa 12:1 (11:1) ¶ <For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth.> Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.
Psa 12:2 (11:2) Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
Psa 12:3 (11:3) Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
Psa 12:4 (11:4) who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
Psa 12:5 (11:5) Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.
Psa 12:6 (11:6) The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 (11:7) Thou, O Lord, shalt keep us, and shalt preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
Psa 12:8 (11:8) The ungodly walk around: according to thy greatness thou has greatly exalted the sons of men.
Psa 13:1 (12:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David.> How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 (12:2) How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Psa 13:3 (12:3) Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Psa 13:4 (12:4) lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.
Psa 13:5 (12:5) But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation.
Psa 13:6 (12:6) I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
Psa 14:1 (13:1) ¶ <For the end, Psalm of David.> The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
Psa 14:2 (13:2) The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
Psa 14:3 (13:3) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
Psa 14:4 (13:4) ¶ Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
Psa 14:5 (13:5) There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
Psa 14:6 (13:6) Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
Psa 14:7 (13:7) Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
Psa 15:1 (14:1) ¶ <A Psalm of David.> O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? and who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?
Psa 15:2 (14:2) He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.
Psa 15:3 (14:3) Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwelt nearest to him.
Psa 15:4 (14:4) In his sight an evil-worker is set at nought, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints [him] not.
Psa 15:5 (14:5) He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
Psa 16:1 (15:1) ¶ <A writing of David.> Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in thee.
Psa 16:2 (15:2) I said to the Lord, Thou art my Lord; for thou has no need of my goodness.
Psa 16:3 (15:3) On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Psa 16:4 (15:4) Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
Psa 16:5 (15:5) The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou art he that restores my inheritance to me.
Psa 16:6 (15:6) The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yea, I have a most excellent heritage.
Psa 16:7 (15:7) I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Psa 16:8 (15:8) ¶ I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Psa 16:9 (15:9) Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Psa 16:10 (15:10) because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psa 16:11 (15:11) Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand [there are] delights for ever.
Psa 17:1 (16:1) ¶ <A prayer of David.> Hearken, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
Psa 17:2 (16:2) Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.
Psa 17:3 (16:3) Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
Psa 17:4 (16:4) As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
Psa 17:5 (16:5) Direct my steps in thy paths, that my steps slip not.
Psa 17:6 (16:6) I have cried, for thou heardest me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken to my words.
Psa 17:7 (16:7) Shew the marvels of thy mercies, thou that savest them that hope in thee.
Psa 17:8 (16:8) ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings,
Psa 17:9 (16:9) from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
Psa 17:10 (16:10) They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
Psa 17:11 (16:11) They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
Psa 17:12 (16:12) They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion’s whelp dwelling in secret [places].
Psa 17:13 (16:13) Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] thy sword,
Psa 17:14 (16:14) because of the enemies of thine hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.
Psa 17:15 (16:15) But I shall appear in righteousness before thy face: I shall be satisfied when thy glory appears.
Psa 18:1 (17:1) ¶ <For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said:> I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Psa 18:2 (17:2) The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
Psa 18:3 (17:3) I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Psa 18:4 (17:4) The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Psa 18:5 (17:5) The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me.
Psa 18:6 (17:6) And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Psa 18:7 (17:7) Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Psa 18:8 (17:8) There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
Psa 18:9 (17:9) And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
Psa 18:10 (17:10) And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Psa 18:11 (17:11) And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
Psa 18:12 (17:12) At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 (17:13) The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Psa 18:14 (17:14) And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
Psa 18:15 (17:15) And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.
Psa 18:16 (17:16) He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
Psa 18:17 (17:17) He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
Psa 18:18 (17:18) They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Psa 18:19 (17:19) And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Psa 18:20 (17:20) ¶ And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Psa 18:21 (17:21) For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psa 18:22 (17:22) For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Psa 18:23 (17:23) And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
Psa 18:24 (17:24) And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Psa 18:25 (17:25) With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
Psa 18:26 (17:26) And with the excellent [man] thou wilt be excellent; and with the perverse thou wilt shew frowardness.
Psa 18:27 (17:27) For thou wilt save the lowly people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.
Psa 18:28 (17:28) For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.
Psa 18:29 (17:29) ¶ For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Psa 18:30 (17:30) [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Psa 18:31 (17:31) For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
Psa 18:32 (17:32) [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Psa 18:33 (17:33) who strengthens my feet as hart’s feet, and sets me upon high places.
Psa 18:34 (17:34) He instructs my hands for war: and thou hast made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
Psa 18:35 (17:35) And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.
Psa 18:36 (17:36) Thou has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Psa 18:37 (17:37) I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Psa 18:38 (17:38) I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Psa 18:39 (17:39) For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Psa 18:40 (17:40) And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.
Psa 18:41 (17:41) They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.
Psa 18:42 (17:42) I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Psa 18:43 (17:43) Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Psa 18:44 (17:44) at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Psa 18:45 (17:45) The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Psa 18:46 (17:46) The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

Psa 19:9 (18:9) The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.
Psa 19:10 (18:10) To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
Psa 19:11 (18:11) For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.
Psa 19:12 (18:12) Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge thou me from my secret [sins].
Psa 19:13 (18:13) And spare thy servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.

Psa 21:2 (20:2) Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. Pause.
Psa 21:3 (20:3) For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.
Psa 21:4 (20:4) He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.
Psa 21:5 (20:5) His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

Psa 21:10 (20:10) Thou shalt destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.
Psa 21:11 (20:11) For they intended evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

Psa 22:1 (21:1) ¶ <For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David.> O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
Psa 22:2 (21:2) O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
Psa 22:3 (21:3) But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary.
Psa 22:4 (21:4) Our fathers hoped in thee; they hoped, and thou didst deliver them.
Psa 22:5 (21:5) They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not ashamed.
Psa 22:6 (21:6) But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
Psa 22:7 (21:7) All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
Psa 22:8 (21:8) He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
Psa 22:9 (21:9) For thou art he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother’s breasts.

Psa 22:15 (21:15) My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and thou hast brought me down to the dust of death.
Psa 22:16 (21:16) For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Psa 22:17 (21:17) They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
Psa 22:18 (21:18) They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.

Psa 26:8 (25:8) O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.
Psa 26:9 (25:9) Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
Psa 26:10 (25:10) in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

Psa 27:2 (26:2) When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
Psa 27:3 (26:3) Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
Psa 27:4 (26:4) One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
Psa 27:5 (26:5) For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.

Psa 27:14 (26:14) Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea wait on the Lord.
Psa 28:1 (27:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of David.> To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

Psa 29:2 (28:2) Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.
Psa 29:3 (28:3) The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.
Psa 29:4 (28:4) The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
Psa 29:5 (28:5) [There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

Psa 29:7 (28:7) [There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.
Psa 29:8 (28:8) A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.
Psa 29:9 (28:9) The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.
Psa 29:10 (28:10) The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.
Psa 29:11 (28:11) The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Psa 30:1 (29:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.> I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
Psa 30:2 (29:2) O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal me.
Psa 30:3 (29:3) O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit.
Psa 30:4 (29:4) Sing to the Lord, ye his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
Psa 30:5 (29:5) For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
Psa 30:6 (29:6) ¶ And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
Psa 30:7 (29:7) O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.
Psa 30:8 (29:8) To thee, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
Psa 30:9 (29:9) What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to thee? or shall it declare thy truth?
Psa 30:10 (29:10) The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
Psa 30:11 (29:11) Thou hast turned my mourning into joy for me: thou hast rent off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Psa 30:12 (29:12) that my glory may sing praise to thee, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
Psa 31:1 (30:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear.> O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
Psa 31:2 (30:2) Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
Psa 31:3 (30:3) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name’s sake, and maintain me.
Psa 31:4 (30:4) Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
Psa 31:5 (30:5) Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Psa 31:6 (30:6) Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
Psa 31:7 (30:7) I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.
Psa 31:8 (30:8) And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
Psa 31:9 (30:9) ¶ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
Psa 31:10 (30:10) For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
Psa 31:11 (30:11) I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Psa 31:12 (30:12) I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
Psa 31:13 (30:13) For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
Psa 31:14 (30:14) But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Psa 31:15 (30:15) My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
Psa 31:16 (30:16) and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.
Psa 31:17 (30:17) O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades.
Psa 31:18 (30:18) Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
Psa 31:19 (30:19) ¶ How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.
Psa 31:20 (30:20) Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
Psa 31:21 (30:21) Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
Psa 31:22 (30:22) But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.
Psa 31:23 (30:23) Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
Psa 31:24 (30:24) Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Psa 32:1 (31:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of instruction by David.> Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
Psa 32:2 (31:2) Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
Psa 32:3 (31:3) Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
Psa 32:4 (31:4) For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. Pause.
Psa 32:5 (31:5) I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
Psa 32:6 (31:6) Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
Psa 32:7 (31:7) ¶ Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.
Psa 32:8 (31:8) I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
Psa 32:9 (31:9) Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but thou must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.
Psa 32:10 (31:10) Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
Psa 32:11 (31:11) Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
Psa 33:1 (32:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of David.> Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becomes the upright.
Psa 33:2 (32:2) Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a psaltery of ten strings.
Psa 33:3 (32:3) Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
Psa 33:4 (32:4) For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
Psa 33:5 (32:5) He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
Psa 33:6 (32:6) By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
Psa 33:7 (32:7) Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
Psa 33:8 (32:8) Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
Psa 33:9 (32:9) For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
Psa 33:10 (32:10) The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nought also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nought the counsels of princes.
Psa 33:11 (32:11) But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
Psa 33:12 (32:12) ¶ Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Psa 33:13 (32:13) The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
Psa 33:14 (32:14) He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
Psa 33:15 (32:15) who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
Psa 33:16 (32:16) A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
Psa 33:17 (32:17) A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
Psa 33:18 (32:18) Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
Psa 33:19 (32:19) to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 (32:20) Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
Psa 33:21 (32:21) For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
Psa 33:22 (32:22) Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Psa 34:1 (33:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed.> I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 (33:2) My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
Psa 34:3 (33:3) Magnify ye the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Psa 34:4 (33:4) I sought the Lord diligently, and he hearkened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Psa 34:5 (33:5) Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Psa 34:6 (33:6) This poor man cried, and the Lord hearkened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Psa 34:7 (33:7) The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Psa 34:8 (33:8) Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
Psa 34:9 (33:9) Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Psa 34:10 (33:10) The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not want any good thing. Pause.
Psa 34:11 (33:11) ¶ Come, ye children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Psa 34:12 (33:12) What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Psa 34:13 (33:13) Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Psa 34:14 (33:14) Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Psa 34:15 (33:15) The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Psa 34:16 (33:16) but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,
Psa 34:17 (33:17) and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Psa 34:18 (33:18) The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Psa 34:19 (33:19) Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
Psa 34:20 (33:20) He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
Psa 34:21 (33:21) The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Psa 34:22 (33:22) The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Psa 35:1 (34:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of David.> Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
Psa 35:2 (34:2) Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
Psa 35:3 (34:3) Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
Psa 35:4 (34:4) Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
Psa 35:5 (34:5) Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
Psa 35:6 (34:6) Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
Psa 35:7 (34:7) For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
Psa 35:8 (34:8) Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
Psa 35:9 (34:9) But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
Psa 35:10 (34:10) All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
Psa 35:11 (34:11) ¶ Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
Psa 35:12 (34:12) They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
Psa 35:13 (34:13) But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
Psa 35:14 (34:14) I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
Psa 35:15 (34:15) Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
Psa 35:16 (34:16) They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
Psa 35:17 (34:17) ¶ O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
Psa 35:18 (34:18) I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.
Psa 35:19 (34:19) Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
Psa 35:20 (34:20) For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
Psa 35:21 (34:21) And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
Psa 35:22 (34:22) Thou hast seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [thyself] from me.
Psa 35:23 (34:23) Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Psa 35:24 (34:24) Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
Psa 35:25 (34:25) Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
Psa 35:26 (34:26) Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
Psa 35:27 (34:27) Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
Psa 35:28 (34:28) And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, [and] on thy praise all the day.
Psa 36:1 (35:1) ¶ <For the end, by David the servant of the Lord.> The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Psa 36:2 (35:2) For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
Psa 36:3 (35:3) The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
Psa 36:4 (35:4) He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
Psa 36:5 (35:5) ¶ O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
Psa 36:6 (35:6) Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
Psa 36:7 (35:7) How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
Psa 36:8 (35:8) They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
Psa 36:9 (35:9) For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
Psa 36:10 (35:10) Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11 (35:11) Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
Psa 36:12 (35:12) There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
Psa 37:1 (36:1) ¶ <[A Psalm] of David.> Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.
Psa 37:2 (36:2) For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
Psa 37:3 (36:3) Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and thou shalt be fed with the wealth of it.
Psa 37:4 (36:4) Delight [thyself] in the Lord; and he shall grant thee the requests of thine heart.
Psa 37:5 (36:5) Disclose thy way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Psa 37:6 (36:6) And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.
Psa 37:7 (36:7) ¶ Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
Psa 37:8 (36:8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself so as to do evil.
Psa 37:9 (36:9) For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
Psa 37:10 (36:10) And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find [it].
Psa 37:11 (36:11) But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
Psa 37:12 (36:12) The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
Psa 37:13 (36:13) But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
Psa 37:14 (36:14) Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to slay the upright in heart.
Psa 37:15 (36:15) Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken.
Psa 37:16 (36:16) A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
Psa 37:17 (36:17) For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
Psa 37:18 (36:18) The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Psa 37:19 (36:19) They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psa 37:20 (36:20) For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honoured and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.
Psa 37:21 (36:21) ¶ The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
Psa 37:22 (36:22) For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
Psa 37:23 (36:23) The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
Psa 37:24 (36:24) When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
Psa 37:25 (36:25) I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Psa 37:26 (36:26) He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
Psa 37:27 (36:27) Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
Psa 37:28 (36:28) For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Psa 37:29 (36:29) But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
Psa 37:30 (36:30) The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.
Psa 37:31 (36:31) The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.
Psa 37:32 (36:32) The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
Psa 37:33 (36:33) But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 (36:34) ¶ Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, thou shalt see [it].
Psa 37:35 (36:35) I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
Psa 37:36 (36:36) Yet I passed by, and lo! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
Psa 37:37 (36:37) Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceable man.
Psa 37:38 (36:38) But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Psa 37:39 (36:39) But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
Psa 37:40 (36:40) And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Psa 38:1 (37:1) ¶ <A Psalm of David for remembrance concerning the Sabbath-day.> O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath, neither chasten me in thine anger.
Psa 38:2 (37:2) For thy weapons are fixed in me, and thou hast pressed thy hand heavily upon me.
Psa 38:3 (37:3) For there is no health in my flesh because of thine anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.
Psa 38:4 (37:4) For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.
Psa 38:5 (37:5) My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
Psa 38:6 (37:6) I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.
Psa 38:7 (37:7) For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.
Psa 38:8 (37:8) I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.
Psa 38:9 (37:9) But all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
Psa 38:10 (37:10) My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with me.
Psa 38:11 (37:11) My friends and my neighbours drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.
Psa 38:12 (37:12) ¶ While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
Psa 38:13 (37:13) But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
Psa 38:14 (37:14) And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
Psa 38:15 (37:15) For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
Psa 38:16 (37:16) For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.
Psa 38:17 (37:17) For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.
Psa 38:18 (37:18) For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed for my sin.
Psa 38:19 (37:19) But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly are multiplied.
Psa 38:20 (37:20) They that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.
Psa 38:21 (37:21) Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.
Psa 38:22 (37:22) Draw nigh to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
Psa 39:1 (38:1) ¶ <For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun.> I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.
Psa 39:2 (38:2) I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.
Psa 39:3 (38:3) My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,
Psa 39:4 (38:4) O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.
Psa 39:5 (38:5) Behold, thou hast made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before thee: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. Pause.
Psa 39:6 (38:6) Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
Psa 39:7 (38:7) ¶ And now what [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with thee. Pause.
Psa 39:8 (38:8) Deliver me from all my transgressions: thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish.
Psa 39:9 (38:9) I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me.
Psa 39:10 (38:10) Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thine hand.
Psa 39:11 (38:11) Thou chastenest man with rebukes for iniquity, and thou makest his life to consume away like a spider’s web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. Pause.
Psa 39:12 (38:12) O Lord, hearken to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].
Psa 39:13 (38:13) Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
Psa 40:1 (39:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David.> I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication.
Psa 40:2 (39:2) And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
Psa 40:3 (39:3) And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
Psa 40:4 (39:4) Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
Psa 40:5 (39:5) O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, and in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
Psa 40:6 (39:6) ¶ Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou didst not require.
Psa 40:7 (39:7) Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
Psa 40:8 (39:8) I desired to do thy will, O my God, and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
Psa 40:9 (39:9) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.
Psa 40:10 (39:10) I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.
Psa 40:11 (39:11) ¶ But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.
Psa 40:12 (39:12) For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
Psa 40:13 (39:13) Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw nigh to help me.
Psa 40:14 (39:14) Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
Psa 40:15 (39:15) Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
Psa 40:16 (39:16) Let all those that seek thee, O Lord, exult and rejoice in thee; and let them that love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Psa 40:17 (39:17) But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; thou art my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
Psa 41:1 (40:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David.> Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.
Psa 41:2 (40:2) May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.
Psa 41:3 (40:3) May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.
Psa 41:4 (40:4) I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Psa 41:5 (40:5) ¶ Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?
Psa 41:6 (40:6) And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.
Psa 41:7 (40:7) All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.
Psa 41:8 (40:8) They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?
Psa 41:9 (40:9) For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.
Psa 41:10 (40:10) But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.
Psa 41:11 (40:11) By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.
Psa 41:12 (40:12) But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.
Psa 41:13 (40:13) Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.
Psa 42:1 (41:1) ¶ <For the end, [a Psalm] for instruction, for the sons of Core.> As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for thee, O God.
Psa 42:2 (41:2) My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Psa 42:3 (41:3) My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:4 (41:4) I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of thy wondrous tabernacle, [even] to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.
Psa 42:5 (41:5) Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the salvation of my countenance.
Psa 42:6 (41:6) ¶ O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill.
Psa 42:7 (41:7) Deep calls to deep at the voice of thy cataracts: all thy billows and thy waves have gone over me.
Psa 42:8 (41:8) By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifest [it] by night: with me [is] prayer to the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 (41:9) I will say to God, Thou art my helper; why hast thou forgotten me? wherefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
Psa 42:10 (41:10) While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:11 (41:11) Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 43:1 (42:1) ¶ <A Psalm of David.> Judge me, o God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.
Psa 43:2 (42:2) For thou, O God, art my strength: wherefore hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
Psa 43:3 (42:3) Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have led me, and brought me to thy holy mountain, and to thy tabernacles.
Psa 43:4 (42:4) And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to thee on the harp, O God, my God.
Psa 43:5 (42:5) Wherefore art thou very sad, O my soul? and wherefore dost thou trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
Psa 44:1 (43:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core.> O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old.
Psa 44:2 (43:2) Thine hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the nations, and cast them out.
Psa 44:3 (43:3) For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou wert well pleased in them.
Psa 44:4 (43:4) Thou art indeed my King and my God, who commandest deliverances for Jacob.
Psa 44:5 (43:5) In thee will we push down our enemies, and in thy name will we bring to nought them that rise up against us.
Psa 44:6 (43:6) For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.
Psa 44:7 (43:7) For thou hast saved us from them that afflicted us, and hast put to shame them that hated us.
Psa 44:8 (43:8) In God will we make our boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Pause.
Psa 44:9 (43:9) ¶ But now thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and thou wilt not go forth with our hosts.
Psa 44:10 (43:10) Thou hast turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
Psa 44:11 (43:11) Thou madest us as sheep for meat; and thou scatteredst us among the nations.
Psa 44:12 (43:12) Thou hast sold thy people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.
Psa 44:13 (43:13) Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.
Psa 44:14 (43:14) Thou hast made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.
Psa 44:15 (43:15) All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
Psa 44:16 (43:16) because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.
Psa 44:17 (43:17) ¶ All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt unrighteously in thy covenant.
Psa 44:18 (43:18) And our heart has not gone back; but thou hast turned aside our paths from thy way.
Psa 44:19 (43:19) For thou hast laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
Psa 44:20 (43:20) If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?
Psa 44:21 (43:21) for he knows the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 (43:22) For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.
Psa 44:23 (43:23) Awake, wherefore sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever.
Psa 44:24 (43:24) Wherefore turnest thou thy face away, [and] forgettest our poverty and our affliction?
Psa 44:25 (43:25) For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.
Psa 44:26 (43:26) Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
Psa 45:1 (44:1) ¶ <For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved.> My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
Psa 45:2 (44:2) Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has blessed thee for ever.
Psa 45:3 (44:3) Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;
Psa 45:4 (44:4) and bend [thy bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.
Psa 45:5 (44:5) Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) [they are] in the heart of the king’s enemies.
Psa 45:6 (44:6) ¶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
Psa 45:7 (44:7) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.
Psa 45:8 (44:8) Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from thy garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
Psa 45:9 (44:9) with which kings’ daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in divers colours.
Psa 45:10 (44:10) ¶ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father’s house.
Psa 45:11 (44:11) Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.
Psa 45:12 (44:12) And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.
Psa 45:13 (44:13) All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
Psa 45:14 (44:14) in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.
Psa 45:15 (44:15) They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king’s temple.
Psa 45:16 (44:16) Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
Psa 45:17 (44:17) They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee for ever, even for ever and ever.
Psa 46:1 (45:1) ¶ <For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things.> God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
Psa 46:2 (45:2) Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
Psa 46:3 (45:3) Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. Pause.
Psa 46:4 (45:4) The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
Psa 46:5 (45:5) God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
Psa 46:6 (45:6) ¶ The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
Psa 46:7 (45:7) The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. Pause.
Psa 46:8 (45:8) Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
Psa 46:9 (45:9) Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
Psa 46:10 (45:10) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psa 46:11 (45:11) The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
Psa 47:1 (46:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.> Clap your hands, all ye nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.
Psa 47:2 (46:2) For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 (46:3) He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4 (46:4) He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. Pause.
Psa 47:5 (46:5) ¶ God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.
Psa 47:6 (46:6) Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.
Psa 47:7 (46:7) For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.
Psa 47:8 (46:8) God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.
Psa 47:9 (46:9) The rulers of the people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God’s mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.
Psa 48:1 (47:1) ¶ <A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week.> Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Psa 48:2 (47:2) The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.
Psa 48:3 (47:3) God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.
Psa 48:4 (47:4) For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.
Psa 48:5 (47:5) They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.
Psa 48:6 (47:6) Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Psa 48:7 (47:7) Thou wilt break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.
Psa 48:8 (47:8) ¶ As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. Pause.
Psa 48:9 (47:9) We have thought of thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy people.
Psa 48:10 (47:10) According to thy name, O God, so is also thy praise to the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Psa 48:11 (47:11) Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Psa 48:12 (47:12) Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell ye her towers.
Psa 48:13 (47:13) Mark ye well her strength, and observe her palaces; that ye may tell the next generation.
Psa 48:14 (47:14) For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
Psa 49:1 (48:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core.> Hear these words, all ye nations, hearken, all ye that dwell upon the earth:
Psa 49:2 (48:2) both the sons of mean men, and sons of [great] men; the rich and poor [man] together.
Psa 49:3 (48:3) My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring [forth] understanding.
Psa 49:4 (48:4) I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.
Psa 49:5 (48:5) Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.
Psa 49:6 (48:6) ¶ They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—
Psa 49:7 (48:7) A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,
Psa 49:8 (48:8) or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,
Psa 49:9 (48:9) and live to the end, [so] that he should not see corruption.
Psa 49:10 (48:10) When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.
Psa 49:11 (48:11) And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, [even] their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.
Psa 49:12 (48:12) And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.
Psa 49:13 (48:13) This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Pause.
Psa 49:14 (48:14) They have laid [them] as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.
Psa 49:15 (48:15) ¶ But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. Pause.
Psa 49:16 (48:16) Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.
Psa 49:17 (48:17) For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.
Psa 49:18 (48:18) For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.
Psa 49:19 (48:19) [Yet] he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.
Psa 49:20 (48:20) Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.
Psa 50:1 (49:1) ¶ <A Psalm for Asaph.> The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].
Psa 50:2 (49:2) Out of Sion [comes] the excellence of his beauty.
Psa 50:3 (49:3) God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.
Psa 50:4 (49:4) He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5 (49:5) Assemble ye his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.
Psa 50:6 (49:6) And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. Pause.
Psa 50:7 (49:7) ¶ Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
Psa 50:8 (49:8) I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; for thy whole-burnt-offerings are before me continually.
Psa 50:9 (49:9) I will take no bullocks out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy flocks.
Psa 50:10 (49:10) For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
Psa 50:11 (49:11) I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.
Psa 50:12 (49:12) If I should be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
Psa 50:13 (49:13) Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Psa 50:14 (49:14) Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay thy vows to the Most High.
Psa 50:15 (49:15) And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Pause.
Psa 50:16 (49:16) ¶ But to the sinner God has said, Why dost thou declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in thy mouth?
Psa 50:17 (49:17) Whereas thou hast hated instruction, and hast cast my words behind [thee].
Psa 50:18 (49:18) If thou sawest a thief, thou rannest along with him, and hast cast in thy lot with adulterers.
Psa 50:19 (49:19) Thy mouth has multiplied wickedness, and thy tongue has framed deceit.
Psa 50:20 (49:20) Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother, and didst scandalize thy mother’s son.
Psa 50:21 (49:21) These things thou didst, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest wickedly that I should be like thee, [but] I will reprove thee, and set [thine offences] before thee.
Psa 50:22 (49:22) Now consider these things, ye that forget God, lest he rend [you], and there is no deliverer.
Psa 50:23 (49:23) The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will shew to him the salvation of God.
Psa 51:1 (50:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee.> Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
Psa 51:2 (50:2) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Psa 51:3 (50:3) For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
Psa 51:4 (50:4) Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Psa 51:5 (50:5) For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 (50:6) For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
Psa 51:7 (50:7) ¶ Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 (50:8) Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
Psa 51:9 (50:9) Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Psa 51:10 (50:10) Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
Psa 51:11 (50:11) Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 (50:12) Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
Psa 51:13 (50:13) [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
Psa 51:14 (50:14) ¶ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15 (50:15) O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Psa 51:16 (50:16) For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
Psa 51:17 (50:17) Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
Psa 51:18 (50:18) Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
Psa 51:19 (50:19) Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
Psa 52:1 (51:1) ¶ <For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech.> Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day
Psa 52:2 (51:2) thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
Psa 52:3 (51:3) Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.
Psa 52:4 (51:4) Thou has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
Psa 52:5 (51:5) Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from [thy] dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. Pause.
Psa 52:6 (51:6) ¶ And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
Psa 52:7 (51:7) Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
Psa 52:8 (51:8) But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
Psa 52:9 (51:9) I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before the saints.
Psa 53:1 (52:1) ¶ <For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction.> The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.
Psa 53:2 (52:2) God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.
Psa 53:3 (52:3) They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.
Psa 53:4 (52:4) Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:
Psa 53:5 (52:5) for God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.
Psa 53:6 (52:6) Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
Psa 54:1 (53:1) ¶ <For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us?> Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.
Psa 54:2 (53:2) O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.
Psa 54:3 (53:3) For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
Psa 54:4 (53:4) ¶ For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
Psa 54:5 (53:5) He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.
Psa 54:6 (53:6) I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
Psa 54:7 (53:7) For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Psa 55:1 (54:1) ¶ <For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David.> Hearken, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
Psa 55:2 (54:2) Attend to me, and hearken to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;
Psa 55:3 (54:3) because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
Psa 55:4 (54:4) My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
Psa 55:5 (54:5) Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
Psa 55:6 (54:6) And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
Psa 55:7 (54:7) Lo! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. Pause.
Psa 55:8 (54:8) I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.
Psa 55:9 (54:9) ¶ Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.
Psa 55:10 (54:10) Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it;
Psa 55:11 (54:11) and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.
Psa 55:12 (54:12) For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.
Psa 55:13 (54:13) But thou, O man like minded, my guide, and my acquaintance,
Psa 55:14 (54:14) who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord.
Psa 55:15 (54:15) Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.
Psa 55:16 (54:16) ¶ I cried to God, and the Lord hearkened to me.
Psa 55:17 (54:17) Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known [my wants]: and he shall hear my voice.
Psa 55:18 (54:18) He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw nigh to me: for they were with me in many [cases].
Psa 55:19 (54:19) God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. Pause. For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God.
Psa 55:20 (54:20) He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant.
Psa 55:21 (54:21) They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew nigh them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.
Psa 55:22 (54:22) Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psa 55:23 (54:23) But thou, O God, shalt bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in thee, O Lord.
Psa 56:1 (55:1) ¶ <For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.> Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
Psa 56:2 (55:2) Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
Psa 56:3 (55:3) They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
Psa 56:4 (55:4) In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
Psa 56:5 (55:5) All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
Psa 56:6 (55:6) They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
Psa 56:7 (55:7) Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
Psa 56:8 (55:8) ¶ O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
Psa 56:9 (55:9) Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
Psa 56:10 (55:10) In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
Psa 56:11 (55:11) I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
Psa 56:12 (55:12) The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
Psa 56:13 (55:13) For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
Psa 57:1 (56:1) ¶ <For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave.> Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Psa 57:2 (56:2) I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.
Psa 57:3 (56:3) He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Psa 57:4 (56:4) and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions’] whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5 (56:5) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Psa 57:6 (56:6) They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. Pause.
Psa 57:7 (56:7) ¶ My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
Psa 57:8 (56:8) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
Psa 57:9 (56:9) O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
Psa 57:10 (56:10) For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
Psa 57:11 (56:11) Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Psa 58:1 (57:1) ¶ <For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.> If ye do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.
Psa 58:2 (57:2) For ye work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
Psa 58:3 (57:3) Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
Psa 58:4 (57:4) Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
Psa 58:5 (57:5) which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.
Psa 58:6 (57:6) ¶ God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
Psa 58:7 (57:7) They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
Psa 58:8 (57:8) They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
Psa 58:9 (57:9) Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
Psa 58:10 (57:10) The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Psa 58:11 (57:11) And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
Psa 59:1 (58:1) ¶ <For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him.> Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
Psa 59:2 (58:2) Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Psa 59:3 (58:3) For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
Psa 59:4 (58:4) Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
Psa 59:5 (58:5) And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw nigh to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.
Psa 59:6 (58:6) They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
Psa 59:7 (58:7) Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
Psa 59:8 (58:8) ¶ But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn; thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.
Psa 59:9 (58:9) I will keep my strength, [looking] to thee; for thou, O God, art my helper.
Psa 59:10 (58:10) [As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will shew me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
Psa 59:11 (58:11) Slay them not, lest they forget thy law; scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
Psa 59:12 (58:12) [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
Psa 59:13 (58:13) And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. Pause.
Psa 59:14 (58:14) They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
Psa 59:15 (58:15) They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
Psa 59:16 (58:16) But I will sing to thy strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] thy mercy; for thou hast been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
Psa 59:17 (58:17) [Thou art] my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing; thou art my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
Psa 60:1 (59:1) ¶ <For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand.> O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
Psa 60:2 (59:2) Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
Psa 60:3 (59:3) Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
Psa 60:4 (59:4) Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
Psa 60:5 (59:5) That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
Psa 60:6 (59:6) ¶ God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
Psa 60:7 (59:7) Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
Psa 60:8 (59:8) Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
Psa 60:9 (59:9) Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
Psa 60:10 (59:10) Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
Psa 60:11 (59:11) Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
Psa 60:12 (59:12) In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
Psa 61:1 (60:1) ¶ <For the end, among the Hymns of David.> O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.
Psa 61:2 (60:2) From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:
Psa 61:3 (60:3) because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
Psa 61:4 (60:4) I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.
Psa 61:5 (60:5) ¶ For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
Psa 61:6 (60:6) Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.
Psa 61:7 (60:7) He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?
Psa 61:8 (60:8) So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Psa 62:1 (61:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun.> Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.
Psa 62:2 (61:2) For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
Psa 62:3 (61:3) How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
Psa 62:4 (61:4) They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. Pause.
Psa 62:5 (61:5) Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
Psa 62:6 (61:6) For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
Psa 62:7 (61:7) In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
Psa 62:8 (61:8) ¶ Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. Pause.
Psa 62:9 (61:9) But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.
Psa 62:10 (61:10) Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
Psa 62:11 (61:11) God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
Psa 62:12 (61:12) and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
Psa 63:1 (62:1) ¶ <A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea.> O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
Psa 63:2 (62:2) Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.
Psa 63:3 (62:3) ¶ For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
Psa 63:4 (62:4) Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Psa 63:5 (62:5) Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.
Psa 63:6 (62:6) Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
Psa 63:7 (62:7) ¶ For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
Psa 63:8 (62:8) My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.
Psa 63:9 (62:9) But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
Psa 63:10 (62:10) They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
Psa 63:11 (62:11) But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
Psa 64:1 (63:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm of David.> Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
Psa 64:2 (63:2) Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;
Psa 64:3 (63:3) who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
Psa 64:4 (63:4) to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
Psa 64:5 (63:5) They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
Psa 64:6 (63:6) They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,
Psa 64:7 (63:7) ¶ and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,
Psa 64:8 (63:8) and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;
Psa 64:9 (63:9) and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.
Psa 64:10 (63:10) The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
Psa 65:1 (64:1) ¶ <For the end, a Psalm [and] Song of David.> Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.
Psa 65:2 (64:2) Hear my prayer; to thee all flesh shall come.
Psa 65:3 (64:3) The words of transgressors have overpowered us; but do thou pardon our sins.
Psa 65:4 (64:4) Blessed [is he] whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.
Psa 65:5 (64:5) [Thou art] wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them [that are] on the sea afar off:
Psa 65:6 (64:6) ¶ who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;
Psa 65:7 (64:7) who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.
Psa 65:8 (64:8) The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends [of the earth] shall be afraid of thy signs; thou wilt cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.
Psa 65:9 (64:9) Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation [of it].
Psa 65:10 (64:10) Saturate her furrows, multiply her fruits; [the crop] springing up shall rejoice in its drops.
Psa 65:11 (64:11) Thou wilt bless the crown of the year [because] of thy goodness; and thy plains shall be filled with fatness.
Psa 65:12 (64:12) The mountains of the wilderness shall be enriched; and the hills shall gird themselves with joy.
Psa 65:13 (64:13) The rams of the flock are clothed [with wool], and the valleys shall abound in corn; they shall cry aloud, yea they shall sing hymns.
Psa 66:1 (65:1) ¶ <For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection.> Shout unto God, all the earth.
Psa 66:2 (65:2) O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
Psa 66:3 (65:3) Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
Psa 66:4 (65:4) Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.
Psa 66:5 (65:5) Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.
Psa 66:6 (65:6) Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
Psa 66:7 (65:7) who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. Pause.
Psa 66:8 (65:8) ¶ Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Psa 66:9 (65:9) who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my fee
