Noyes Translation
1869 by George Noyes
Psa 1:1 <BOOK I> ¶ Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;
Psa 1:2 But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.
Psa 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 ¶ Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
Psa 2:1 ¶ Why do the heathen rage, And the nations meditate a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 Why do the kings of the earth rise up, And the princes combine together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed king?
Psa 2:3 "Let us break their bonds asunder; Let us cast away from us their fetters!"
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in heaven will laugh; The Lord will have them in derision.
Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, And confound them in his hot displeasure.
Psa 2:6 "I myself have anointed my king, Upon Zion, my holy hill!"
Psa 2:7 ¶ I will declare the decree of Jehovah: He hath said to me, "Thou art my son; This day I have begotten thee.
Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel."
Psa 2:10 ¶ Be wise, therefore, O ye kings! Be admonished, ye rulers of the earth!
Psa 2:11 Be subject to Jehovah with awe, And fear with trembling!
Psa 2:12 Kiss the son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in your way; For soon shall his wrath be kindled. Happy are all they who seek refuge in him.
Psa 3:1 ¶ <A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.> How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me!
Psa 3:2 How many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him with God"! [Pause.]
Psa 3:3 But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter–up of my head.
Psa 3:4 ¶ I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. [Pause.]
Psa 3:5 I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
Psa 3:6 I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me.
Psa 3:7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked.
Psa 3:8 Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! [Pause.]
Psa 4:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.> Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble,––Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
Psa 4:2 How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? [Pause.]
Psa 4:3 Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
Psa 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! [Pause.]
Psa 4:5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
Psa 4:6 ¶ There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
Psa 4:7 Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
Psa 4:8 I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
Psa 5:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with wind instruments. A psalm of David.> Give ear to my words, O LORD; Have regard to my cry!
Psa 5:2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer.
Psa 5:3 In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help.
Psa 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee.
Psa 5:5 The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity.
Psa 5:6 Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth.
Psa 5:7 ¶ But I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple.
Psa 5:8 Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face!
Psa 5:9 For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
Psa 5:10 Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled!
Psa 5:11 But let all, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful in thee!
Psa 5:12 For thou, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield.
Psa 6:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.> O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; Chasten me not in thy hot displeasure!
Psa 6:2 Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble!
Psa 6:3 My soul, also, is sore troubled; And thou, O LORD! how long––?
Psa 6:4 Return, O LORD! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy mercy!
Psa 6:5 For in death no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks?
Psa 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears.
Psa 6:7 Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old because of all my enemies.
Psa 6:8 ¶ Depart from me, all ye that do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer.
Psa 6:10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
Psa 7:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, which he sang to Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.> O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me!
Psa 7:2 Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help.
Psa 7:3 O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this,––If there be iniquity upon my hands,
Psa 7:4 If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy,––
Psa 7:5 Let my adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! [Pause.]
Psa 7:6 Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!
Psa 7:7 Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!
Psa 7:8 The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!
Psa 7:9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.
Psa 7:10 ¶ My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
Psa 7:11 God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.
Psa 7:12 If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;
Psa 7:13 He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.
Psa 7:14 Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!
Psa 7:15 He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Psa 7:16 His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
Psa 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Psa 8:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.> O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger.
Psa 8:3 ¶ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:
Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?
Psa 8:5 Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.
Psa 8:6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,––
Psa 8:7 All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;
Psa 8:8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.
Psa 8:9 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psa 9:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.> I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
Psa 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High!
Psa 9:3 All my enemies are turned back; They fall and perish at thy presence.
Psa 9:4 For thou dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge.
Psa 9:5 Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore!
Psa 9:6 The enemy is fallen,––a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished!
Psa 9:7 The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
Psa 9:8 He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness.
Psa 9:9 Yea, the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed; A refuge in times of trouble.
Psa 9:10 They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee!
Psa 9:11 ¶ Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people!
Psa 9:12 As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint.
Psa 9:13 "Have pity upon me, [said I,] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death:
Psa 9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee."
Psa 9:15 The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.
Psa 9:16 Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [Stringed instruments. Pause.]
Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God.
Psa 9:18 For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever.
Psa 9:19 Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee!
Psa 9:20 Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! [Pause.]
Psa 10:1 ¶ Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Psa 10:2 Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
Psa 10:3 The wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
Psa 10:4 The wicked [saith] in his haughtiness, "He careth not!" All his thoughts are, "There is no God."
Psa 10:5 His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Psa 10:6 He saith in his heart, "I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity."
Psa 10:7 His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
Psa 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking–places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
Psa 10:9 He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
Psa 10:10 He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
Psa 10:11 He saith in his heart, "God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it."
Psa 10:12 ¶ Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
Psa 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, "He careth not for it"?
Psa 10:14 Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
Psa 10:16 Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
Psa 10:17 Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
Psa 10:18 Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
Psa 11:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> In the LORD do I put my trust. Why say ye to me, "Flee, like a bird, to your mountain?
Psa 11:2 For, lo! the wicked bend their bow; They make ready their arrows on the string, To shoot in secret at the upright in heart.
Psa 11:3 If the pillars be broken down, What can the righteous do?"
Psa 11:4 ¶ The LORD is in his holy palace; The LORD’S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids prove the children of men.
Psa 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous; But the wicked, and the lover of violence, his soul hateth.
Psa 11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain lightning; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For the LORD is righteous; he loveth righteousness; The upright shall see his face.
Psa 12:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; to the octave. A psalm of David.> Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; The faithful are failing among men.
Psa 12:2 They speak falsehood one to another; With flattering lips, with a double heart, do they speak.
Psa 12:3 May the LORD destroy all flattering lips, And the tongue which speaketh proud things!
Psa 12:4 Who say, "With our tongues will we prevail; Our lips are our reliance; Who is lord over us?"
Psa 12:5 For the oppression of the poor and the sighing of the wretched, Now will I stand up, saith the LORD; I will set in safety him whom they puff at.
Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure; Like silver purified in a furnace on the earth, Seven times refined.
Psa 12:7 Thou, O LORD! will watch over them; Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, When the vilest of men are exalted.
Psa 13:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 How long shall I have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Psa 13:3 Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Psa 13:4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him!" Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.
Psa 13:5 Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;
Psa 13:6 I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.
Psa 14:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> The fool saith in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt; abominable are their doings; There is none that doeth good.
Psa 14:2 Jehovah looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.
Psa 14:3 They are all gone out of the way; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good––no, not one.
Psa 14:4 ¶ Shall not the evil–doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
Psa 14:5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous.
Psa 14:6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge.
Psa 14:7 Oh that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captives of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel be glad.
Psa 15:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> LORD, who shall abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?
Psa 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart;
Psa 15:3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no reproach against his neighbor;
Psa 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
Psa 15:5 He that lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Psa 16:1 ¶ <A psalm off David.> Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
Psa 16:2 I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
Psa 16:3 The holy that are in the land, and the excellent,––in them is all my delight.
Psa 16:4 They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink–offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
Psa 16:5 Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
Psa 16:6 My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
Psa 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
Psa 16:8 ¶ I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
Psa 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit.
Psa 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Psa 17:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Hear the righteous cause, O LORD! Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit!
Psa 17:2 May my sentence come forth from thy presence; May thine eyes behold uprightness!
Psa 17:3 Provest thou my heart, visitest thou me in the night, Triest thou me like gold, thou shalt find nothing!
Psa 17:4 My thoughts do not vary from my lips. As to the deeds of men, Through the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
Psa 17:5 Support my steps in thy paths, That my feet may not slip!
Psa 17:6 I call upon thee, O God! for thou wilt hear me; Incline thine ear to me, and listen to my prayer!
Psa 17:7 Show forth thy loving–kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand Them that seek refuge in thee from their adversaries!
Psa 17:8 ¶ Guard me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings
Psa 17:9 From the wicked who assault me, From my deadly enemies who compass me about!
Psa 17:10 They shut up their hard heart; With their mouth they speak haughtily.
Psa 17:11 They encompass us in all our steps; They fix their eyes upon us, that they may cast us on the ground.
Psa 17:12 They are like a lion, eager for his prey; Like a young lion, lurking in secret places.
Psa 17:13 Arise, O LORD! disappoint them, cast them down! Deliver me from the wicked by thy sword,
Psa 17:14 From men, by thy hand, O LORD! from men of the world, Whose portion is in life; whom thou loadest with thy treasure; Whose children have enough, and leave their superfluity to their children.
Psa 17:15 But I through righteousness shall see thy face; I shall be satisfied with the revival of thy countenance.
Psa 18:1 ¶ I love thee, O LORD, my strength!
Psa 18:2 Jehovah is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I trust; My shield, my strong defence, and my high tower.
Psa 18:3 I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies.
Psa 18:4 The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay;
Psa 18:5 The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized upon me.
Psa 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears.
Psa 18:7 Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled.
Psa 18:8 A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him.
Psa 18:9 He bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet;
Psa 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
Psa 18:11 And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Psa 18:12 At the brightness before him, his thick clouds passed away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:14 He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual lightnings, and discomfited them.
Psa 18:15 Then the channels of the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16 He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep waters.
Psa 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.
Psa 18:18 They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.
Psa 18:19 He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Psa 18:20 ¶ The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Psa 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psa 18:22 For all his laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.
Psa 18:23 I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity.
Psa 18:24 Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
Psa 18:25 To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;
Psa 18:26 To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.
Psa 18:27 For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
Psa 18:28 Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness.
Psa 18:29 ¶ For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls.
Psa 18:30 The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him.
Psa 18:31 Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
Psa 18:32 It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain.
Psa 18:33 He made my feet like the hind’s, And set me in my high places;
Psa 18:34 He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass.
Psa 18:35 Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.
Psa 18:36 Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.
Psa 18:37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.
Psa 18:38 I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.
Psa 18:39 Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.
Psa 18:40 Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me.
Psa 18:41 They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.
Psa 18:42 I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.
Psa 18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;
Psa 18:44 They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;
Psa 18:45 Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
Psa 18:46 Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation!
Psa 18:47 It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me;
Psa 18:48 He delivered me from my enemies; Yea, thou hast lifted me up above my adversaries; Thou hast saved me from the violent man!
Psa 18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD! among the nations, And sing praises to thy name.
Psa 18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth mercy to his anointed,––To David and to his posterity for ever.
Psa 19:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> The heavens declare the glory of God; The firmament showeth forth the work of his hands.
Psa 19:2 Day uttereth instruction unto day, And night showeth knowledge unto night.
Psa 19:3 They have no speech nor language, And their voice is not heard;
Psa 19:4 Yet their sound goeth forth to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psa 19:5 Which cometh forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, And rejoiceth, like a strong man, to run his course.
Psa 19:6 He goeth forth from the extremity of heaven, And maketh his circuit to the end of it; And nothing is hid from his heat.
Psa 19:7 ¶ The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; The precepts of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple;
Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandments of the LORD are pure, enlightening the eyes;
Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10 More precious are they than gold; yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
Psa 19:11 By them also is thy servant warned, And in keeping of them there is great reward.
Psa 19:12 Who knoweth his own offences? Oh, cleanse thou me from secret faults!
Psa 19:13 Keep back also thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be upright; I shall not be polluted with gross transgression.
Psa 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer!
Psa 20:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!
Psa 20:2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!
Psa 20:3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! [Pause.]
Psa 20:4 May he grant thee thy heart’s desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!
Psa 20:5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.
Psa 20:6 ¶ Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.
Psa 20:7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.
Psa 20:8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.
Psa 20:9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
Psa 21:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> The king rejoiceth in thy strength, O LORD! Yea, he doth greatly exult in thy protection.
Psa 21:2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, And hast not denied him the request of his lips. [Pause.]
Psa 21:3 Yea, thou hast met him with rich blessings, Thou hast placed a crown of pure gold upon his head.
Psa 21:4 He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him; Even long life, enduring for ever.
Psa 21:5 Great is his glory through thine aid; Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
Psa 21:6 Thou hast made him blessed for evermore; Thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
Psa 21:7 ¶ For the king trusteth in the LORD; And through the goodness of the Most High he shall never fall.
Psa 21:8 Thy hand shall overtake all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake them that hate thee.
Psa 21:9 Thou wilt make them like a burning oven in the time of thine anger; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
Psa 21:10 Their offspring shalt thou destroy from the earth, And their posterity from the sons of men.
Psa 21:11 For they spread a net of mischief against thee; They devised plots against thee, but they did not prevail.
Psa 21:12 Therefore thou wilt cause them to turn their backs; Thou wilt make ready thine arrows upon the strings against them.
Psa 21:13 Exalt thyself, O LORD! by thy strength! So will we sing, and praise thy mighty deeds.
Psa 22:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To the tune of "The hind of the morning." A psalm of David.> My God, my God! why hast thou forsaken me? Why so far from mine aid, and from the words of my cry?
Psa 22:2 O my God! I cry during the day, but thou hearest not; In the night also, but I have no rest.
Psa 22:3 And yet thou art holy, Dwelling amid the praises of Israel!
Psa 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee; They trusted, and thou didst save them.
Psa 22:5 They called upon thee, and were delivered; They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
Psa 22:6 But I am a worm, and not a man; The reproach of men, and the scorn of the people.
Psa 22:7 All who see me scoff at me; They open wide the lips; they shake the head.
Psa 22:8 "He trusted in the LORD, let him help him; Let him deliver him, since he delighted in him!"
Psa 22:9 Surely thou art he that didst bring me into the world; Thou didst make me lie secure upon my mother’s breast!
Psa 22:10 Upon thee have I cast myself from my birth; Thou hast been my God from my earliest breath!
Psa 22:11 ¶ Oh, be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help!
Psa 22:12 Many bulls surround me; Strong bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.
Psa 22:13 They open their mouths wide against me, Like a ravening and roaring lion.
Psa 22:14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is become like wax; It melteth in my bosom.
Psa 22:15 My strength is dried up like an earthen vessel, And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; Thou hast brought me to the dust of death!
Psa 22:16 For dogs have surrounded me; Bands of evil–doers have encompassed me,––Like lions my hands and my feet.
Psa 22:17 I can count all my bones; They gaze, and feast their eyes upon me.
Psa 22:18 They divide my garments among them, And for my vesture they cast lots.
Psa 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD! O my strength! make haste to mine aid!
Psa 22:20 Deliver my life from the sword; My blood from the power of the dog;
Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion’s mouth; Shield me from the horns of the buffaloes!
Psa 22:22 ¶ I will proclaim thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Psa 22:23 Praise him, ye worshippers of Jehovah! Extol him, all ye race of Jacob. And fear him, all ye race of Israel!
Psa 22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the misery of the afflicted. Nor hath he hid his face from him; But when he cried unto him, he heard.
Psa 22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him!
Psa 22:26 The afflicted shall eat, and be satisfied; They that seek the LORD shall praise him; Your hearts shall be glad for ever and ever!
Psa 22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember, and turn to Jehovah; All the families of the nations shall worship before thee!
Psa 22:28 For the kingdom is Jehovah’s; He is the governor of the nations.
Psa 22:29 All the rich of the earth shall eat and worship; Before him shall they also bow, who are going down to the dust, Who cannot keep themselves alive.
Psa 22:30 The future generation shall serve him; The race which is to come shall hear of Jehovah.
Psa 22:31 They shall come, and declare his righteousness; His mighty deeds to the people that shall be born.
Psa 23:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, For his name’s sake.
Psa 23:4 When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy staff, they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psa 24:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> The earth is the LORD’S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.
Psa 24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.
Psa 24:3 ¶ Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?
Psa 24:4 He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.
Psa 24:5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor from the God of his salvation.
Psa 24:6 This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. [Pause.]
Psa 24:7 ¶ Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!
Psa 24:8 "Who is this king of glory?" Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.
Psa 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!
Psa 24:10 "Who is this king of glory?" Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. [Pause.]
Psa 25:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> To thee, O LORD! do I lift up my soul.
Psa 25:2 O my God! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
Psa 25:3 Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
Psa 25:4 Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! Teach me thy paths!
Psa 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me! For thou art the God from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
Psa 25:6 Remember thy loving–kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
Psa 25:7 Remember not the faults and transgressions of my youth! According to thy mercy remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O LORD!
Psa 25:8 ¶ Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
Psa 25:9 The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
Psa 25:10 All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.
Psa 25:11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; for it is great!
Psa 25:12 Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
Psa 25:13 He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
Psa 25:14 The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
Psa 25:15 ¶ Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
Psa 25:16 Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
Psa 25:17 Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
Psa 25:18 Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
Psa 25:19 Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
Psa 25:20 Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
Psa 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
Psa 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
Psa 26:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.
Psa 26:2 Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!
Psa 26:3 For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.
Psa 26:4 I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.
Psa 26:5 I hate the assembly of evil–doers, And do not sit with the wicked.
Psa 26:6 ¶ I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!
Psa 26:7 To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psa 26:8 O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!
Psa 26:9 Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,
Psa 26:10 In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!
Psa 26:11 But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!
Psa 26:12 My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
Psa 27:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When the wicked came upon me to devour me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they stumbled and fell.
Psa 27:3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.
Psa 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon his temple.
Psa 27:5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me upon a rock.
Psa 27:6 Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise to the LORD.
Psa 27:7 ¶ Hear my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!
Psa 27:8 When I think of thy precept, "Seek ye my face!" Thy face, LORD, do I seek.
Psa 27:9 O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!
Psa 27:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.
Psa 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!
Psa 27:12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.
Psa 27:13 I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!
Psa 27:14 Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!
Psa 28:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> To thee do I cry, O LORD! O my rock! be not silent to me, Lest, if thou answer me not, I become like those who go down to the pit!
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most holy sanctuary!
Psa 28:3 Draw me not away with the impious, and with evil–doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts!
Psa 28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them their desert!
Psa 28:5 For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again build them up.
Psa 28:6 ¶ Praised be the LORD, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications!
Psa 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will praise him.
Psa 28:8 Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of his anointed.
Psa 28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; Feed them also, and build them up for ever!
Psa 29:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
Psa 29:2 Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!
Psa 29:3 The voice of Jehovah is heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth,–Jehovah above the great waters.
Psa 29:4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty;
Psa 29:5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon;
Psa 29:6 Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf,––Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
Psa 29:7 The voice of Jehovah divideth the flames of fire.
Psa 29:8 The voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
Psa 29:9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.
Psa 29:10 Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth king for ever.
Psa 29:11 Jehovah will give strength to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
Psa 30:1 ¶ <A psalm of David. To the air of songs for the dedication of a house.> I will extol thee, O LORD! for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.
Psa 30:2 O Jehovah, my God! I called upon thee, and thou hast healed me!
Psa 30:3 O LORD! thou hast raised me up from the underworld; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psa 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye his servants! And praise his holy name!
Psa 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment, But his favor through life; In the evening sorrow may be a guest, But joy cometh in the morning.
Psa 30:6 ¶ I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved!"
Psa 30:7 Thou, O LORD! by thy favor, hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled!
Psa 30:8 I cried unto thee, O LORD! To the LORD I made supplication:
Psa 30:9 "What will my blood profit thee, that I should go down to the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?
Psa 30:10 Hear, O LORD! and have pity upon me! Be thou, LORD! my helper!"
Psa 30:11 Thou didst turn my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness.
Psa 30:12 Therefore I will sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah, my God! I will give thanks to thee for ever!
Psa 31:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> In thee, O LORD! do I trust; let me never be put to shame; According to thy goodness deliver me!
Psa 31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; help me speedily! Be to me a strong rock, a high fortress, for my deliverance!
Psa 31:3 For thou art my rock and my high fortress; Be thou also my guide, and lead me, for thy name’s sake!
Psa 31:4 Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For thou art my strength!
Psa 31:5 Into thy hand I commit my life; Thou wilt deliver me, O LORD, thou God of truth!
Psa 31:6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, And put my trust in the LORD.
Psa 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, That thou hast looked upon my trouble, And hast had regard to my distress;
Psa 31:8 That thou hast not given me up to the hands of my enemies, But hast set my feet in a wide place.
Psa 31:9 ¶ Have mercy upon me, O LORD! for I am in trouble! My face is consumed with grief; Yea, my spirit and my body.
Psa 31:10 For my life is wasted with sorrow, And my years with sighing; My strength faileth by reason of my affliction, And my bones are consumed on account of all my enemies.
Psa 31:11 I have become the scorn of my neighbors, And the terror of my acquaintance; They who see me abroad flee from me.
Psa 31:12 I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
Psa 31:13 I hear the slander of many; fear is on every side; For they take counsel together against me; They devise to take away my life.
Psa 31:14 But I trust in thee, O Jehovah! I say, "Thou art my God!"
Psa 31:15 My destiny is in thy hand; Deliver me from the power of my enemies and persecutors!
Psa 31:16 Let thy face shine upon thy servant, And save me through thy mercy!
Psa 31:17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD! for I have called upon thee; Let the wicked be put to shame; Let them be silenced in the grave!
Psa 31:18 Let lying lips be put to silence, Which speak proud things against the righteous, With haughtiness and contempt!
Psa 31:19 ¶ O how great is thy goodness, which thou treasurest up for them that fear thee; Which thou showest to them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
Psa 31:20 Thou hidest them in the secret place of thy presence from the machinations of men; Thou shelterest them in thy pavilion from the violence of tongues.
Psa 31:21 Praised be the LORD; for he hath shown me his wonderful kindness, As in a fortified city!
Psa 31:22 I said in my distress, "I am cut off from before thine eyes;" But thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, When I cried unto thee.
Psa 31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his servants; For the LORD preserveth the faithful, And requiteth the proud in full measure!
Psa 31:24 Be of good courage; let your hearts be strong, All ye who trust in the LORD!
Psa 32:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
Psa 32:2 Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
Psa 32:3 While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of my groaning all the day long.
Psa 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; My moisture dried up, as in summer’s drought.
Psa 32:5 At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgression to the LORD;" And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! [Pause.]
Psa 32:6 Therefore shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
Psa 32:7 ¶ Thou art my hiding–place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. [Pause.]
Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep mine eye upon thee.
Psa 32:9 Be ye not like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
Psa 32:10 The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
Psa 32:11 Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
Psa 33:1 ¶ Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD! For praise becometh the upright.
Psa 33:2 Praise the LORD with the harp; Sing to him with the ten–stringed psaltery!
Psa 33:3 Sing to him a new song; Play skilfully amid the sound of trumpets!
Psa 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right, And all his acts are faithful.
Psa 33:5 He loveth justice and equity; The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, And all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
Psa 33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea, as a heap; He layeth up the deep in storehouses.
Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psa 33:10 The LORD bringeth the devices of the nations to nothing; He frustrateth the designs of kingdoms.
Psa 33:11 The purposes of the LORD stand for ever; The designs of his heart, to all generations.
Psa 33:12 ¶ Happy the nation whose God is Jehovah; The people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
Psa 33:13 The LORD looketh down from heaven; He beholdeth all the children of men;
Psa 33:14 From his dwelling–place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth,––
Psa 33:15 He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth all their works.
Psa 33:16 A king is not saved by the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his strength.
Psa 33:17 The horse is a vain thing for safety, Nor can he deliver his master by his great strength.
Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,––Upon them that trust in his goodness;
Psa 33:19 To save them from the power of death, And keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 The hope of our souls is in the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Psa 33:21 Yea, in him doth our heart rejoice; In his holy name we have confidence.
Psa 33:22 May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
Psa 34:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, when he feigned himself mad before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.> I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 In the LORD doth my soul boast; Let the afflicted hear, and rejoice!
Psa 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt his name together!
Psa 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
Psa 34:5 Look up to him, and ye shall have light; Your faces shall never be ashamed.
Psa 34:6 This afflicted man cried, and the LORD heard, And saved him from all his troubles.
Psa 34:7 The angels of the LORD encamp around those who fear him, And deliver them.
Psa 34:8 O taste, and see how good is the LORD! Happy the man who trusteth in him!
Psa 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his servants! For to those who fear him there shall be no want.
Psa 34:10 Young lions want, and suffer hunger; But they who fear the LORD want no good thing.
Psa 34:11 ¶ Come, ye children, hearken to me! I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Psa 34:12 Who is he that loveth life, And desireth many days, in which he may see good?
Psa 34:13 Guard well thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile!
Psa 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it!
Psa 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry.
Psa 34:16 But the face of the LORD is against evil–doers, To cut off their remembrance from the earth.
Psa 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them from all their troubles.
Psa 34:18 The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
Psa 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the LORD delivereth him from them all.
Psa 34:20 He guardeth all his bones; Not one of them shall be broken.
Psa 34:21 Calamity destroyeth the wicked, And they who hate the righteous suffer for it.
Psa 34:22 The LORD redeemeth the life of his servants, And none that put their trust in him will suffer for it.
Psa 35:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight against them that fight against me!
Psa 35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help!
Psa 35:3 Draw forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, "I am thy salvation."
Psa 35:4 May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
Psa 35:5 May they be like dust before the wind; May the angel of the LORD drive them!
Psa 35:6 May their way be dark and slippery, And may the angel of the LORD pursue them!
Psa 35:7 For without cause they have laid for me a snare; Without cause they have digged for me a pit.
Psa 35:8 May unforeseen destruction come upon them! May the snare which they have laid lay hold on themselves, And may they fall into destruction!
Psa 35:9 Then shall my soul rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in his protection.
Psa 35:10 All my bones shall say, Who, O LORD! is like thee, Who dost rescue the afflicted from the oppressor, The afflicted and destitute from the spoiler?
Psa 35:11 ¶ False witnesses have risen up; They charge me with that which has not entered my mind.
Psa 35:12 They repay me evil for good; They cause bereavement to my soul.
Psa 35:13 And yet I, during their sickness, clothed myself with sackcloth, And afflicted myself with fasting; And my prayer was turned to my bosom.
Psa 35:14 I behaved myself as if he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down in sadness, as one mourning for his mother.
Psa 35:15 But at my fall they rejoice, and gather themselves together; Revilers whom I know not assemble themselves against me; They tear me without ceasing.
Psa 35:16 With base men who mock for their bread, They gnash at me with their teeth.
Psa 35:17 ¶ How long, O LORD! wilt thou look on? O rescue my life from the destruction they plot for me; My precious life from these young lions!
Psa 35:18 I will thank thee in the great assembly! Before a numerous people I will praise thee.
Psa 35:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully triumph over me; Let them not wink with the eye, who hate me without cause!
Psa 35:20 For they speak not peace; They devise deceit against them that are quiet in the land.
Psa 35:21 Yea, they open their mouths wide against me; They say, "Aha, aha! our eyes seeth it."
Psa 35:22 Thou seest it, O LORD! be not silent! O LORD! be not far from me!
Psa 35:23 Arouse thyself; awake for my defence! My God and my Lord, awake to my cause!
Psa 35:24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! Let them not triumph over me!
Psa 35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, "Aha! we have our wish!" Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up!"
Psa 35:26 May they all be confounded and brought to shame, Who rejoice at my calamity! May they be clothed with ignominy and disgrace, Who exalt themselves against me!
Psa 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; Let them ever say, "The LORD be praised, Who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant!"
Psa 35:28 So shall my tongue speak of thy righteousness, And daily repeat thy praise.
Psa 36:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.> To speak of the ungodliness of the wicked is in my heart. He hath no fear of God before his eyes.
Psa 36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, Till his iniquity is found out and hated.
Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; He neglecteth to be wise and to do good.
Psa 36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He persevereth in an evil way; He abhorreth not sin.
Psa 36:5 ¶ Thy goodness, O LORD! reacheth to the heavens, And thy faithfulness to the clouds;
Psa 36:6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep; Thou, O LORD! preservest man and beast!
Psa 36:7 How precious is thy loving–kindness, O God! Yea, the sons of men seek refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
Psa 36:8 They are satisfied with the abundance of thy house, And thou causest them to drink of the full stream of thy pleasures.
Psa 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life; Through thy light we see light.
Psa 36:10 O continue thy loving–kindness to them that know thee, And thy favor to the upright in heart!
Psa 36:11 Let not the foot of the proud come upon me, Nor the hand of the wicked remove me!
Psa 36:12 Lo! already are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are cast down; they are unable to rise!
Psa 37:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Be not thou angry on account of the wicked, Nor be envious of those who do iniquity.
Psa 37:2 For soon shall they be cut down like grass, And wither like the green herb.
Psa 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Abide in the land, and delight in faithfulness.
Psa 37:4 Place thy delight in the LORD. And he will give thee thy heart’s desires.
Psa 37:5 Commit thy way to the LORD; Trust in him, and he will give thee success!
Psa 37:6 He will cause thy justice to shine forth like the light, And thy righteousness like the noonday’s brightness.
Psa 37:7 ¶ Hope thou patiently on the LORD, And in him place thy trust! Be not angry on account of the prosperous,––On account of him that deviseth deceit!
Psa 37:8 Cease from anger; give not way to wrath; Be not provoked, so as to do evil!
Psa 37:9 For evil–doers shall be rooted out; But they who trust in the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
Psa 37:10 Yet a little while, and the wicked shall be no more; Thou mayst look for his place, and he will not be found.
Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the land, And delight themselves in the fulness of prosperity.
Psa 37:12 The wicked man plotteth against the just, And gnasheth at him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 The Lord laugheth at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.
Psa 37:14 The wicked draw the sword, And bend their bow, To cast down the afflicted and the needy, And to slay the upright.
Psa 37:15 Their swords shall enter their own hearts, And their bows shall be broken in pieces.
Psa 37:16 Better is the little of the righteous man Than the great abundance of the wicked;
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD will uphold the righteous.
Psa 37:18 The LORD careth for the life of the upright, And their inheritance shall endure for ever.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall have enough.
Psa 37:20 But the wicked shall perish; Yea, the enemies of the LORD shall be consumed, like the glory of the fields; They shall be consumed into smoke.
Psa 37:21 ¶ The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; But the righteous is merciful and bountiful.
Psa 37:22 For they who are blessed by God shall inherit the land, And they who are cursed by him shall be rooted out.
Psa 37:23 The steps of the good man are directed by the LORD; He delighteth himself in his way.
Psa 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, For the LORD holdeth him by the hand.
Psa 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his offspring begging bread.
Psa 37:26 He is ever merciful and lendeth, And his offspring shall be blessed.
Psa 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; So thou shalt dwell in the land for ever.
Psa 37:28 For the LORD loveth righteousness, And forsaketh not his servants; They are preserved for ever; But the posterity of the wicked shall be rooted out.
Psa 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, And shall dwell therein for ever.
Psa 37:30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh what is right.
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; His footsteps shall not slip.
Psa 37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him;
Psa 37:33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor suffer him to be condemned, when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 ¶ Trust in the LORD, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to the possession of the land, Whilst thou shalt see the destruction of the wicked!
Psa 37:35 I have seen a wicked man in great power, And spreading himself like a green cedar;
Psa 37:36 But he passed away, and, lo! he was no more; Yea, I sought him, but he was not found.
Psa 37:37 Mark the righteous man, and behold the upright, That posterity is to the man of peace!
Psa 37:38 But transgressors will all be destroyed; The posterity of the wicked shall be rooted out.
Psa 37:39 The salvation of the just is from the LORD. He is their strength in the time of trouble.
Psa 37:40 The LORD will help and deliver them; He will deliver them from their enemies, and save them, Because they trust in him.
Psa 38:1 ¶ <A psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.> O LORD! rebuke me not in thy wrath, Nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure!
Psa 38:2 For thine arrows have deeply pierced me, And thy hand hath been heavy upon me.
Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh, because of thine anger; Nor rest in my bones, because of my sin.
Psa 38:4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden, they are more than I can bear.
Psa 38:5 My wounds putrefy and are loathsome on account of my folly.
Psa 38:6 I am bent; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
Psa 38:7 For my loins are full of burning heat, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
Psa 38:8 I am weakened and bruised exceedingly; I roar by reason of the disquietude of my heart.
Psa 38:9 O Lord! thou knowest all my desire, And my groaning is not hidden from thee!
Psa 38:10 My heart panteth; my strength faileth me; The very light of my eyes is gone from me.
Psa 38:11 My friends and acquaintance keep aloof from my woe, And my kinsmen stand afar off:
Psa 38:12 ¶ While they who seek my life lay snares for me; They who seek my hurt threaten destruction, And meditate deceit all the day long.
Psa 38:13 But I, like a deaf man, hear not; And, like a dumb man, open not my mouth.
Psa 38:14 I am like one who heareth nothing, And in whose mouth is no reply.
Psa 38:15 For in thee, O LORD! do I put my trust; Thou wilt hear, O Lord, my God!
Psa 38:16 For I have prayed, "Let them not rejoice over me; Let them not exult at the slipping of my feet!"
Psa 38:17 For I am ready to fall, And my pain doth never leave me;
Psa 38:18 For I confess my iniquity, And am troubled on account of my sin.
Psa 38:19 But my enemies flourish and are strong; They who hate me without cause are multiplied.
Psa 38:20 They who repay good with evil are my enemies, Because I follow that which is good.
Psa 38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD! O my God! be not far from me!
Psa 38:22 Make hast to mine aid, O Lord, my salvation!
Psa 39:1 ¶ <A psalm of David. For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites.> I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I may not sin with my tongue; I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.
Psa 39:2 I was dumb with silence; I spake not even what was good; But my pain was increased.
Psa 39:3 My heart was hot within me; In my anguish the fire burst forth, And I spake with my tongue:
Psa 39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, And the number of my days, That I may know how frail I am!
Psa 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days as a hand–breadth, And my life is as nothing before thee; Yea, every man in his firmest state is altogether vanity. [Pause.]
Psa 39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely he disquieteth himself in vain; He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Psa 39:7 ¶ What, then, O Lord! is my hope? My hope is in thee!
Psa 39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; Let me not be the reproach of scoffers!
Psa 39:9 Yet I am dumb; I open not my mouth; For thou hast done it!
Psa 39:10 But remove from me thine infliction; For I am perishing by the blow of thine hand.
Psa 39:11 When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for iniquity, Thou causest his glory to waste away like a moth! Surely every man is vanity.
Psa 39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD! Give ear to my cry; Be not silent at my tears! For I am but a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Psa 39:13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more!
Psa 40:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> I trusted steadfastly in the LORD, And he listened, and heard my cry.
Psa 40:2 He drew me out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, And made my steps firm.
Psa 40:3 He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.
Psa 40:4 Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!
Psa 40:5 Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
Psa 40:6 ¶ In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt–offering and sin–offering thou requirest not.
Psa 40:7 Therefore I said, "Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;
Psa 40:8 O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in my heart!"
Psa 40:9 I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!
Psa 40:10 I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.
Psa 40:11 ¶ Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving–kindness and thy truth continually preserve me!
Psa 40:12 For evils without number have encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.
Psa 40:13 May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!
Psa 40:14 May they all be confounded and covered with shame Who seek to take away my life! Let them be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!
Psa 40:15 Let them be overwhelmed with confusion Who cry out to me, Aha! aha!
Psa 40:16 But let all who seek thee Be glad and rejoice in thee! Let those who love thy protection Ever say, "Great is Jehovah!"
Psa 40:17 I am poor and afflicted, yet the Lord thinketh upon me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; My God! make no delay!
Psa 41:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psa 41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!
Psa 41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.
Psa 41:4 I said, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!
Psa 41:5 ¶ My enemies speak evil of me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"
Psa 41:6 If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth it.
Psa 41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:
Psa 41:8 "A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!"
Psa 41:9 Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread,––He hath lifted up his heel against me.
Psa 41:10 But do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!
Psa 41:11 By this I know that thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.
Psa 41:12 As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!
Psa 41:13 [Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
Psa 42:1 <BOOK II> ¶ <For the leader of the music. A song of the sons of Korah.> As the hart panteth for the water–brooks, So panteth my soul for thee, O God!
Psa 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, the living God: When shall I come, and appear before God?
Psa 42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me continually, "Where is thy God?"
Psa 42:4 When I think of it, I pour out my soul in grief; How I once walked with the multitude, Walked slowly with them to the house of God, Amid sounds of joy and praise with the festive multitude!
Psa 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
Psa 42:6 ¶ My soul is cast down within me, While I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermon, From the mountain Mizar.
Psa 42:7 Deep calleth for deep at the noise of thy waterfalls; All thy waves and billows have gone over me!
Psa 42:8 Once the LORD commanded his kindness by day, And by night his praise was with me,–Thanksgiving to the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 Now I say to God, my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 42:10 Like the crushing of my bones are the reproaches of the enemy, While they say to me continually, "Where is thy God?"
Psa 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
Psa 43:1 ¶ Judge me, O God! and defend my cause against a merciless nation! Deliver me from unjust and deceitful men!
Psa 43:2 Thou art the God of my refuge: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 43:3 O send forth thy light and thy truth; let them guide me; Let them lead me to thy holy mountain, and to thy dwelling–place!
Psa 43:4 Then will I go to the altar of God, To the God of my joy and exultation; Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God!
Psa 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
Psa 44:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.> O God! we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us, What deeds thou didst in their days, In the days of old.
Psa 44:2 With thine own hand didst thou drive out the nations, And plant our fathers; Thou didst destroy the nations, And cause our fathers to flourish.
Psa 44:3 For not by their own swords did they gain possession of the land, Nor did their own arms give them victory; But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance; For thou didst favor them!
Psa 44:4 Thou art my king, O God! O send deliverance to Jacob!
Psa 44:5 Through thee we may cast down our enemies; Through thy name we may trample upon our adversaries!
Psa 44:6 I trust not in my bow, Nor can my sword save me.
Psa 44:7 But it is thou only who savest us from our enemies, And puttest to shame those who hate us!
Psa 44:8 In God will we glory continually; Yea, we will praise thy name for ever! [Pause.]
Psa 44:9 ¶ Yet now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame; Thou goest not forth with our armies.
Psa 44:10 Thou makest us turn back from the enemy, And they who hate us make our goods their prey.
Psa 44:11 Thou makest us like sheep destined for food, And scatterest us among the nations.
Psa 44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, And increasest not thy wealth by their price.
Psa 44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to those who are around us.
Psa 44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, And causest the people to shake their heads at us.
Psa 44:15 My ignominy is continually before me, And shame covereth my face,
Psa 44:16 On account of the voice of the scoffer and the reviler, And on account of the enemy and the avenger.
Psa 44:17 ¶ All this hath come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Nor have we been false to thy covenant.
Psa 44:18 Our hearts, have not wandered from thee, Nor have our feet gone out of thy path;
Psa 44:19 Though thou hast crushed us in a land of jackals, And covered us with thick darkness.
Psa 44:20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or stretched forth our hands to a strange God,
Psa 44:21 Surely God would search it out; For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 But for thy sake we are killed all the day; We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Psa 44:23 Awake! why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise! cast us not off for ever!
Psa 44:24 Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, And forget our affliction and oppression?
Psa 44:25 Our soul is bowed down to the dust; Our body cleaveth to the earth.
Psa 44:26 Arise, O thou, our strength! And deliver us, for thy mercy’s sake!
Psa 45:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be accompanied with the Shoshannim. A song of loveliness by the sons of Korah.> My heart is overflowing with a good matter; I will address my work to the king: May my tongue be like the pen of a ready writer!
Psa 45:2 Thou art the fairest of the sons of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; For God hath blessed thee for ever!
Psa 45:3 Gird thy sword to thy thigh, thou hero!–Thy glory and ornament!
Psa 45:4 In thy glorious array ride forth victoriously, On account of truth and mildness and justice; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things!
Psa 45:5 Thine arrows are sharp; Nations shall fall before thee; They shall pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies.
Psa 45:6 ¶ Thy throne is God’s for ever and ever; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of equity!
Psa 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest iniquity; Therefore hath God, thy God, anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows!
Psa 45:8 All thy garments are myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments delight thee.
Psa 45:9 Daughters of kings are among thy chosen women; On the right hand stands the queen In gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 ¶ Listen, O daughter! consider, and incline thine ear; Forget thy people and thy father’s house!
Psa 45:11 For the king is captivated with thy beauty; He is now thy lord; honor thou him!
Psa 45:12 So shall the daughter of Tyre seek thy favor with gifts, The rich among the people.
Psa 45:13 All glorious is the king’s daughter in her apartment; Her robe is embroidered with gold.
Psa 45:14 In variegated garments shall she be led to the king; The virgin companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
Psa 45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; They shall enter the king’s palace.
Psa 45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes through all the land.
Psa 45:17 I will make thy name memorable throughout all generations; So shall the nations praise thee for ever and ever!
Psa 46:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.> God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
Psa 46:2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
Psa 46:3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. [Pause.]
Psa 46:4 A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling–place of the Most High.
Psa 46:5 God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
Psa 46:6 ¶ The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Psa 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. [Pause.]
Psa 46:8 Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
Psa 46:9 He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
Psa 46:10 "Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!"
Psa 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Psa 47:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.> O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!
Psa 47:2 For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;
Psa 47:4 He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. [Pause.]
Psa 47:5 ¶ God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.
Psa 47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!
Psa 47:7 For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!
Psa 47:8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.
Psa 47:9 The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
Psa 48:1 ¶ <A psalm of the sons of Korah.> Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
Psa 48:2 Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
Psa 48:3 In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
Psa 48:4 For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
Psa 48:5 As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
Psa 48:6 There terror seized upon them,––Pain, as of a woman in travail;
Psa 48:7 As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
Psa 48:8 ¶ As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. [Pause.]
Psa 48:9 We think of thy loving–kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
Psa 48:10 As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Psa 48:11 Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
Psa 48:12 Go round about Zion; number her towers;
Psa 48:13 Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
Psa 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
Psa 49:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.> Hear this, all ye nations; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world;
Psa 49:2 Both high and low, rich and poor alike!
Psa 49:3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my mind shall be understanding.
Psa 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a poem; I will utter my song upon the harp.
Psa 49:5 Why should I fear in the days of adversity, When the iniquity of my adversaries encompasseth me;
Psa 49:6 ¶ They who trust in their riches, And glory in the greatness of their wealth?
Psa 49:7 No one can redeem his brother from death, Nor give a ransom for him to God,
Psa 49:8 That he should live to eternity, And not see the pit.
Psa 49:9 Too costly is the redemption of his life, And he giveth it up for ever.
Psa 49:10 For he seeth that wise men die, As well as the foolish and the ignorant; They perish alike, And leave their wealth to others.
Psa 49:11 They imagine that their houses will endure for ever, And their dwelling–places from generation to generation: Men celebrate their names on the earth.
Psa 49:12 Yet man, who is in honor, abideth not; He is like the beasts that perish.
Psa 49:13 Such is the way which is their confidence! And they who come after them approve their maxims. [Pause.]
Psa 49:14 Like sheep they are cast into the underworld; Death shall feed upon them; And the upright shall soon trample upon them. Their form shall be consumed in the underworld, And they shall no more have a dwelling–place.
Psa 49:15 ¶ But God will redeem my life from the underworld; Yea, he will take me under his care. [Pause.]
Psa 49:16 Be not thou afraid, when one becometh rich; When the glory of his house is increased!
Psa 49:17 For, when he dieth, he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
Psa 49:18 Though in his life he thought himself happy,––Though men praised thee, while thou wast in prosperity,––
Psa 49:19 Yet shalt thou go to the dwelling–place of thy fathers, Who never more shall see the light!
Psa 49:20 The man who is in honor, but without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.
Psa 50:1 ¶ <A psalm of Asaph.> The mighty God, Jehovah, speaketh, and calleth the earth, From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
Psa 50:3 Our God cometh, and will not be silent; Before him is a devouring fire, And around him a raging tempest.
Psa 50:4 He calleth to the heavens on high, And to the earth, while he judgeth his people:
Psa 50:5 "Gather together before me my godly ones, Who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!"
Psa 50:6 (And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, For it is God himself that is judge.) [Pause.]
Psa 50:7 ¶ "Hear, O my people, and I will speak! O Israel, and I will testify against thee! For I am God, thine own God.
Psa 50:8 I reprove thee not on account of thy sacrifices; For thy burnt–offerings are ever before me.
Psa 50:9 I will take no bullock from thy house, Nor he–goat from thy folds;
Psa 50:10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are before me.
Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and all that is therein.
Psa 50:13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
Psa 50:14 Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay thy vows to the Most High!
Psa 50:15 Then call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me!"
Psa 50:16 ¶ And to the wicked God saith, "To what purpose dost thou talk of my statutes? And why hast thou my laws upon thy lips?––
Psa 50:17 Thou, who hatest instruction And castest my words behind thee!
Psa 50:18 When thou seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
Psa 50:19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit;
Psa 50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
Psa 50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thine eyes.
Psa 50:22 Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
Psa 50:23 Whoso offereth praise honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from God."
Psa 51:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after his intercourse with Bathsheba.> Be gracious unto me, O God! according to thy loving kindness; According to the greatness of thy mercy, blot out my transgressions!
Psa 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin!
Psa 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
Psa 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And in thy sight have I done evil; So that thou art just in thy sentence, And righteous in thy judgment.
Psa 51:5 Behold! I was born in iniquity, And in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 Behold! thou desirest truth in the heart; So teach me wisdom in my inmost soul!
Psa 51:7 ¶ Purge me with hyssop, until I be clean; Wash me, until I be whiter than snow!
Psa 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, So that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice!
Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities!
Psa 51:10 Create within me a clean heart, O God! Renew within me a steadfast spirit!
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence, And take not thy holy spirit from me!
Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of thy protection, And strengthen me with a willing spirit!
Psa 51:13 Then will I teach thy ways to transgressors, And sinners shall be converted to thee.
Psa 51:14 ¶ Deliver me from the guilt of blood, O God, the God of my salvation! That my tongue may sing aloud of thy goodness!
Psa 51:15 O Lord! open thou my lips, That my mouth may show forth thy praise!
Psa 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt–offerings.
Psa 51:17 The sacrifice which God loveth is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God! thou wilt not despise!
Psa 51:18 Do good to Zion according to thy mercy; Build up the walls of Jerusalem!
Psa 51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt–offerings and complete offerings; Then shall bullocks be offered upon thine altar.
Psa 52:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.> Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.
Psa 52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of deceit!
Psa 52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. [Pause.]
Psa 52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue!
Psa 52:5 Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling–place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. [Pause.]
Psa 52:6 ¶ The righteous shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him.
Psa 52:7 "Behold the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And placed his strength in his wickedness!"
Psa 52:8 But I shall be like a green olive–tree in the house of God; I will trust in the goodness of God for ever and ever.
Psa 52:9 I will praise thee for ever for what thou hast done; I will trust in thy name, because it is good, Before the eyes of thy godly ones!
Psa 53:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung on wind instruments. A psalm of David.> The fool saith in his heart, "There is no God!" They are corrupt; their doings are abominable; There is none that doeth good.
Psa 53:2 God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.
Psa 53:3 They are all gone astray; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psa 53:4 Shall not the evil–doers be requited, Who eat up my people like bread, And call not upon God?
Psa 53:5 Yea! fear shall come upon them, Where no fear is; For God will scatter the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou shalt put them to shame, for God despiseth them!
Psa 53:6 O that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel be glad.
Psa 54:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments A psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?> Save me, O God! by thy name, And by thy strength defend my cause!
Psa 54:2 O God! hear my prayer, Give ear to the words of my mouth!
Psa 54:3 For enemies have risen up against me, And oppressors seek my life; They have not set God before their eyes. [Pause.]
Psa 54:4 ¶ Behold! God is my helper; The Lord is the support of my life.
Psa 54:5 He will repay evil to my enemies; For thy truth’s sake, O God! cut them off!
Psa 54:6 With a willing heart will I sacrifice to thee; I will praise thy name, O LORD! for it is good;
Psa 54:7 For thou hast delivered me from all trouble, So that my eye hath looked with joy upon my enemies!
Psa 55:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments. A psalm of David.> Give ear to my prayer, O God! Hide not thyself from my supplication!
Psa 55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me! I wander about mourning and wailing,
Psa 55:3 On account of the clamors of the enemy, On account of the violence of the wicked. For they bring evil upon me, And in wrath set themselves against me.
Psa 55:4 My heart trembleth in my bosom, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Psa 55:5 Fear and trembling have seized me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.
Psa 55:6 Then I say, O that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Psa 55:7 Behold, I would wander far away, And take up my abode in a wilderness. [Pause.]
Psa 55:8 I would hasten away to a shelter From the rushing wind and tempest.
Psa 55:9 ¶ Confound, O Lord! divide their counsels! For I behold violence and strife in the city.
Psa 55:10 Day and night do these go about its walls; In the midst of it are iniquity and mischief.
Psa 55:11 Wickedness is in the midst of it; Oppression and fraud depart not from its streets.
Psa 55:12 It was not an enemy that reviled me, Then I could have borne it; Nor one that hated me, who rose up against me; From him I could have hid myself.
Psa 55:13 But it was thou, a man my equal, My friend, and my acquaintance.
Psa 55:14 We held sweet converse together, And walked to the house of God in company.
Psa 55:15 May sudden death seize upon them! May they go down to the underworld alive! For wickedness is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.
Psa 55:16 ¶ As for me, I will call upon God, And Jehovah will save me.
Psa 55:17 At evening, at morn, and at noon I mourn and sigh, And he will hear my voice.
Psa 55:18 He will deliver me in peace from my conflict; For many have risen up against me.
Psa 55:19 God will hear me, and bring them down,––He that hath been judge of old. [Pause.] Because they have no changes, Therefore they fear not God.
Psa 55:20 They lift up their hands against their friend, And break their covenant with him.
Psa 55:21 Their speech was softer than butter, But war was in their heart; Their words were smoother than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
Psa 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to fall!"
Psa 55:23 Yea, thou, O God! wilt bring them down into the lowest pit! Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in thee!
Psa 56:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of "The dumb dove among strangers." A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.> Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!
Psa 56:2 Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.
Psa 56:3 When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!
Psa 56:4 Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?
Psa 56:5 Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Psa 56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.
Psa 56:7 Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!
Psa 56:8 ¶ Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?
Psa 56:9 When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.
Psa 56:10 Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.
Psa 56:11 In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?
Psa 56:12 Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!
Psa 56:13 For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Psa 57:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of "Do not destroy." A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.> Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
Psa 57:2 I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things for me;
Psa 57:3 He will send from heaven, and save me; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; [Pause.] God will send forth his mercy and his truth.
Psa 57:4 My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Psa 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
Psa 57:7 ¶ My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
Psa 57:8 Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
Psa 57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
Psa 57:10 For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
Psa 57:11 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Psa 58:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To the tune of "Do not destroy." A psalm of David.> Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
Psa 58:2 Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
Psa 58:4 They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder’s, which stoppeth her ear;
Psa 58:5 Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
Psa 58:6 ¶ Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
Psa 58:7 May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
Psa 58:8 May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
Psa 58:9 Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
Psa 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Psa 58:11 Then shall men say, "Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!"
Psa 59:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To the tune of "Do not destroy." A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.> Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
Psa 59:2 Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
Psa 59:3 For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
Psa 59:4 Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
Psa 59:5 Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! [Pause.]
Psa 59:6 Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
Psa 59:7 Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; "For who," say they, "will hear?"
Psa 59:8 ¶ Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
Psa 59:9 O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
Psa 59:10 My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my enemies.
Psa 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; Scatter them by thy power, and cast them down, O Lord, our shield!
Psa 59:12 The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!
Psa 59:13 Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! [Pause.]
Psa 59:14 Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
Psa 59:15 Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
Psa 59:16 But I will sing of thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
Psa 59:17 To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
Psa 60:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan–Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.> O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
Psa 60:2 Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
Psa 60:3 Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
Psa 60:4 Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
Psa 60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
Psa 60:6 ¶ God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
Psa 60:7 Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
Psa 60:8 Moab shall be my wash–bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
Psa 60:9 Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Psa 60:10 Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
Psa 60:11 Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
Psa 60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
Psa 61:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.> Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer!
Psa 61:2 From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!
Psa 61:3 For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.
Psa 61:4 I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.
Psa 61:5 ¶ For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.
Psa 61:6 O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!
Psa 61:7 May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!
Psa 61:8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
Psa 62:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites, A psalm of David.> Truly my soul resteth on God alone; From him cometh my deliverance!
Psa 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, I shall not wholly fall!
Psa 62:3 How long will ye continue to assault a single man? How long will ye all seek to destroy me, Like a bending wall, or a tottering fence?
Psa 62:4 They study how to cast me down from my eminence; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouths, but in their hearts they curse.
Psa 62:5 My soul, rest thou on God alone, For from him cometh my hope!
Psa 62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my safeguard, ––I shall not fall.
Psa 62:7 From God cometh my help and my glory: My strong rock, my refuge, is God.
Psa 62:8 ¶ Trust in him at all times, ye people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge!
Psa 62:9 Truly men of low degree are vanity, And men of high degree are a lie; Placed in the balance, They are all lighter than vanity.
Psa 62:10 Trust not in extortion; Place no vain hopes in rapine! If riches increase, set not your heart upon them!
Psa 62:11 Once hath God promised, twice have I heard it, That power belongeth unto God.
Psa 62:12 To thee also, O Lord! belongeth mercy; For thou dost render to every man according to his work!
Psa 63:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.> O God! thou art my God! earnestly do I seek thee! My soul thirsteth, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry, thirsty land. where is no water!
Psa 63:2 Thus I look toward thee in thy sanctuary, To behold thy power and thy glory!
Psa 63:3 ¶ For thy loving–kindness is better than life; Therefore my lips shall praise thee!
Psa 63:4 Thus will I bless thee, while I live; In thy name will I lift up my hands!
Psa 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And with joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee,
Psa 63:6 When I think of thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night–watches.
Psa 63:7 ¶ For thou art my help, And in the shadow of thy wings I rejoice.
Psa 63:8 My soul cleaveth to thee; Thy right hand holdeth me up.
Psa 63:9 While they who seek to destroy my life Shall themselves go down into the depths of the earth.
Psa 63:10 They shall be given up to the sword, And be a portion for jackals.
Psa 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; All that swear by him shall be honored; But the mouth of liars shall be stopped.
Psa 64:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!
Psa 64:2 Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil–doers!
Psa 64:3 For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,
Psa 64:4 To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.
Psa 64:5 They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: "Who," say they, "will see them?"
Psa 64:6 They meditate crimes: "We have finished," say they, "our plans!" The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.
Psa 64:7 ¶ But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psa 64:8 Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.
Psa 64:9 Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.
Psa 64:10 The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
Psa 65:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> To thee belongeth trust, to thee praise, O God in Zion! And to thee shall the vow be performed!
Psa 65:2 O Thou that hearest prayer! To thee shall all flesh come!
Psa 65:3 My iniquities are heavy upon me; But thou wilt forgive our transgressions!
Psa 65:4 Happy is he whom thou choosest, And bringest near thee to dwell in thy courts! May we be satisfied with the blessings of thy house, Thy holy temple!
Psa 65:5 By wonderful deeds dost thou answer us in thy goodness, O God, our salvation! Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the most distant seas!
Psa 65:6 ¶ Thou makest fast the mountains by thy power, Being girded with strength!
Psa 65:7 Thou stillest the roar of the sea, The roar of its waves, And the tumult of the nations.
Psa 65:8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth are awed by thy signs; Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to rejoice!
Psa 65:9 Thou visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou enrichest it exceedingly; The river of God is full of water. Thou suppliest the earth with corn, When thou hast thus prepared it.
Psa 65:10 Thou waterest its furrows, And breakest down its ridges; Thou makest it soft with showers, And blessest its increase.
Psa 65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; Thy footsteps drop fruitfulness;
Psa 65:12 They drop it upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the hills are girded with gladness.
Psa 65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks, And the valleys are covered with corn; They shout, yea, they sing for joy.
Psa 66:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm.> Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!
Psa 66:2 Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!
Psa 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!
Psa 66:4 Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! [Pause.]
Psa 66:5 Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!
Psa 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.
Psa 66:7 By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! [Pause.]
Psa 66:8 ¶ O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!
Psa 66:9 It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.
Psa 66:10 Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
Psa 66:11 Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;
Psa 66:12 Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.
Psa 66:13 ¶ I will go into thy house with burnt–offerings! I will pay thee my vows,––
Psa 66:14 The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.
Psa 66:15 Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he–goats, will I sacrifice to thee. [Pause.]
Psa 66:16 Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!
Psa 66:17 I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.
Psa 66:18 If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:
Psa 66:19 But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.
Psa 66:20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
Psa 67:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments. A psalm.> O God! be merciful to us, and bless us, And cause thy face to shine upon us! [Pause.]
Psa 67:2 That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.
Psa 67:3 Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
Psa 67:4 Let all the nations be glad, and shout for joy! For justly dost thou judge the people, And govern the nations on the earth.
Psa 67:5 Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!
Psa 67:6 For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.
Psa 67:7 May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
Psa 68:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.> Let God arise, and his enemies are scattered, And they who hate him flee before him!
Psa 68:2 As smoke is dispersed, so thou dispersest them; As wax melteth before the fire, So perish the wicked before the face of God.
Psa 68:3 But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence, Yea, they exult exceedingly.
Psa 68:4 Sing unto God; sing praises to his name! Prepare a way for him who rideth through the desert! Jehovah is his name; be joyful in his presence!
Psa 68:5 The father of the fatherless, and the protector of the widow, Is God in his holy habitation.
Psa 68:6 God causeth the forsaken to dwell in houses; He leadeth forth to prosperity them that are bound; But the rebellious shall dwell in a barren land.
Psa 68:7 ¶ O God! when thou didst go before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness. [Pause.]
Psa 68:8 The earth quaked, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God; This Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Psa 68:9 Thou, O God! didst send a plentiful rain; Thou didst strengthen thy wearied inheritance.
Psa 68:10 Thy people established themselves in the land; Thou, O God! in thy goodness, didst prepare it for the needy!
Psa 68:11 The Lord gave the song of victory Of the maidens publishing glad tidings to the mighty host.
Psa 68:12 "The kings with their armies have fled, ––have fled! And the matron at home divideth the spoil.
Psa 68:13 Truly ye may repose yourselves in the stalls, Like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with shining gold."
Psa 68:14 When the Most High destroyed the kings in the land, It was white [with their bones] like Salmon.
Psa 68:15 ¶ Ye lofty hills, ye hills of Bashan, Ye many–topped hills, ye hills of Bashan,
Psa 68:16 Why frown ye, ye many–topped hills, At the hill in which God is pleased to dwell, In which Jehovah will dwell for ever?
Psa 68:17 The chariots of God are myriads, yea, thousands of thousands; The Lord is in the midst of them, as upon Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Psa 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captive the vanquished, Thou hast received gifts among men, Even the rebellious, that here thou mightst dwell, O LORD God!
Psa 68:19 Praised be the Lord daily! When we are heavy–laden, the Mighty One is our help.
Psa 68:20 Our God is a God of salvation; From the Lord Jehovah cometh deliverance from death.
Psa 68:21 But God smiteth the head of his enemies, Even the hairy crowns of those who go on in their iniquity.
Psa 68:22 ¶ "I will bring them back," saith the Lord, "from Bashan; I will bring them back from the deep sea;
Psa 68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in their blood, That thy dogs may drink the blood of thine enemies."
Psa 68:24 We have seen thy procession, O God! The procession of my God, my king, to his sanctuary!
Psa 68:25 The singers go before, the minstrels follow, Amidst damsels playing on timbrels.
Psa 68:26 Praise ye God in your assemblies; Praise the Lord, all ye from the fountain of Israel!
Psa 68:27 Here is Benjamin, the youngest, and his leaders; The chiefs of Judah, and their band; The chiefs of Zebulon, and the chiefs of Naphtali.
Psa 68:28 Thy God has ordained thy strength, [O Israel!] Show forth thy might, O God! thou who hast wrought for us!
Psa 68:29 Because of thy temple in Jerusalem Shall kings bring presents to thee.
Psa 68:30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of bulls with the calves of the nations, So that they shall cast themselves down with masses of silver; Scatter thou the nations that delight in war!
Psa 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste with outstretched hands to God.
Psa 68:32 ¶ Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; Sing praises to Jehovah;
Psa 68:33 To him who rideth upon the ancient heaven of heavens! Behold, he uttereth his voice, his mighty voice!
Psa 68:34 Give glory to God, Whose majesty is in Israel, and whose might is in the clouds!
Psa 68:35 Terrible art thou, O God! from thy sanctuary! The God of Israel giveth strength and power to his people. Praised be God!
Psa 69:1 ¶ <For the leader of the music. Upon the Shoshannim. A psalm of David.> Save me, O God! For the waters press in to my very life!
Psa 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where is no standing; I have come into deep waters, and the waves flow over me.
Psa 69:3 I am weary with crying; my throat is parched; Mine eyes are wasted, while I wait for my God.
Psa 69:4 More numerous than the hairs of my head are they who hate me without reason; Mighty are they who seek to destroy me, being my enemies without cause: I must restore what I took not away.
Psa 69:5 O God! thou knowest my offences, And my sins are not hidden from thee!
Psa 69:6 Let not them that trust in thee through me be put to shame, O Lord Jehovah, God of hosts! Let not them that seek thee through me be confounded, O God of Israel!
Psa 69:7 For on account of thee do I suffer reproach, And shame covereth my face!
Psa 69:8 I am become a stranger to my brothers; Yea, an alien to my mother’s sons.
Psa 69:9 For zeal for thy house consumeth me, And the reproaches of them that reproach thee fall upon me.
Psa 69:10 When I weep and fast, That is made my reproach;
Psa 69:11 When I clothe myself in sackcloth, Then I become their by–word.
Psa 69:12 They who sit in the gate speak against me, And I am become the song of drunkards.
Psa 69:13 ¶ Yet will I address my prayer to thee, O LORD! May it be in an acceptable time according to thy great goodness! Hear, O God! and afford me thy sure help!
Psa 69:14 Save me from the mire, and let me not sink; May I be delivered from my enemies,––from the deep waters!
Psa 69:15 Let not the water–flood overflow me; Let not the deep swallow me up, And let not the pit close her mouth upon me!
Psa 69:16 Hear me, O LORD! since great is thy loving–kindness; According to the abundance of thy tender mercies look upon me!
Psa 69:17 Hide not thy face from thy servant; I am greatly distressed, O make haste to mine aid!
Psa 69:18 Draw near to me, and redeem my life; Deliver me because of my enemies!
Psa 69:19 Thou knowest my reproach, and dishonor, and shame; All my adversaries are in thy view!
Psa 69:20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness; I look for pity, but there is none; For comforters, but find none.
Psa 69:21 For my food they give me gall, And in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
Psa 69:22 ¶ May their table be to them a snare; May it be a trap to them, while they are at ease!
Psa 69:23 May their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; And cause their loins continually to shake!
Psa 69:24 Pour out upon them thine indignation, And may the heat of thine anger overtake them!
Psa 69:25 Let their habitation be desolate, And let none dwell in their tents!
Psa 69:26 For they persecute those whom thou hast smitten, And talk of the pain of those whom thou hast wounded.
Psa 69:27 Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them never come into thy favor!
