116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
116:16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds. 116:17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, 116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.
Psalm 117 117:1 O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise him, all you people. 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise you the LORD.
Psalm 118 118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 118:7 The LORD takes my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 118:11 They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 118:13 You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 118:18 The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not given me over unto death. 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 118:21 I will praise you: for you have heard me, and are become my salvation. 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 118:24 This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 118:25 Save now, I ask you, O LORD: O LORD, I ask you, send now prosperity. 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 118:27 God is the LORD, which has showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 118:28 You art my God, and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you. 118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 119 119:1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 119:4 You have commanded us to keep your precepts diligently. 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep your statutes! 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all your commandments. 119:7 I will praise you with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned your righteous judgments. 119:8 I will keep your statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 119:9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word. 119:10 With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments. 119:11 Your word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you. 119:12 Blessed art you, O LORD: teach me your statutes. 119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth. 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches. 119:15 I will meditate in your precepts, and have respect unto your ways. 119:16 I will delight myself in your statutes: I will not forget your word. 119:17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live, and keep your word. 119:18 Open you mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. 119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not your commandments from me. 119:20 My soul breaks for the longing that it hath unto your judgments at all times. 119:21 You have rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from your commandments. 119:22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies. 119:23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes. 119:24 Your testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. 119:25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken you me according to your word. 119:26 I have declared my ways, and you heardest me: teach me your statutes. 119:27 Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works. 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen you me according unto your word. 119:29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me your law graciously. 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: your judgments have I laid before me. 119:31 I have stuck unto your testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 119:32 I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart. 119:33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 119:34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; yes, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 119:35 Make me to go in the path of your commandments; for therein do I delight. 119:36 Incline my heart unto your testimonies, and not to covetousness. 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken you me in your way. 119:38 Stablish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear. 119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good. 119:40 Behold, I have longed after your precepts: quicken me in your righteousness. 119:41 VAU. Let your mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even your salvation, according to your word. 119:42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in your word. 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments. 119:44 So shall I keep your law continually for ever and ever. 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts. 119:46 I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 119:47 And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved. 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes. 119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope. 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has quickened me. 119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from your law. 119:52 I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 119:53 Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law. 119:54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 119:55 I have remembered your name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept your law. 119:56 This I had, because I kept your precepts. 119:57 CHETH. Thou are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words. 119:58 I intreated your favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to your word. 119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto your testimonies. 119:60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep your commandments. 119:61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten your law. 119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto you because of your righteous judgments. 119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear you, and of them that keep your precepts. 119:64 The earth, O LORD, is full of your mercy: teach me your statutes. 119:65 TETH. You have dealt well with your servant, O LORD, according unto your word. 119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments. 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word. 119:68 You art good, and doest good; teach me your statutes. 119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep your precepts with my whole heart. 119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in your law. 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes. 119:72 The law of your mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 119:73 JOD. Your hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments. 119:74 They that fear you will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in your word. 119:75 I know, O LORD, that your judgments are right, and that you in faithfulness have afflicted me. 119:76 Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant. 119:77 Let your tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for your law is my delight. 119:78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in your precepts. 119:79 Let those that fear you turn unto me, and those that have known your testimonies. 119:80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes; that I be not ashamed. 119:81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for your salvation: but I hope in your word. 119:82 Mine eyes fail for your word, saying, When will you comfort me? 119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes. 119:84 How many are the days of your servant? when will you execute judgment on them that persecute me? 119:85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after your law. 119:86 All your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help you me. 119:87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not your precepts. 119:88 Quicken me after your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of your mouth. 119:89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven. 119:90 Your faithfulness is unto all generations: you have established the earth, and it abides. 119:91 They continue this day according to your ordinances: for all are your servants. 119:92 Unless your law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 119:93 I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me. 119:94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought your precepts. 119:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider your testimonies. 119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but your commandment is exceeding broad. 119:97 MEM. O how love I your law! it is my meditation all the day. 119:98 You through your commandments have made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation. 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep your precepts. 119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word. 119:102 I have not departed from your judgments: for you have taught me. 119:103 How sweet are your words unto my taste! yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 119:104 Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 119:105 NUN. Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteous judgments. 119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto your word. 119:108 Accept, I ask you, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me your judgments. 119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget your law. 119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from your precepts. 119:111 Your testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform your statutes alway, even unto the end. 119:113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but your law do I love. 119:114 You art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word. 119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 119:116 Uphold me according unto your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 119:117 Hold you me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto your statutes continually. 119:118 You have trodden down all them that err from your statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119:119 You puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies. 119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of you; and I am afraid of your judgments. 119:121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 119:122 Be surety for your servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 119:123 Mine eyes fail for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness. 119:124 Deal with your servant according unto your mercy, and teach me your statutes. 119:125 I am your servant; give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies. 119:126 It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law. 119:127 Therefore I love your commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold. 119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 119:129 PE. Your testimonies are wonderful: therefore does my soul keep them. 119:130 The entrance of your words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple. 119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for your commandments. 119:132 Look you upon me, and be merciful unto me, as you usest to do unto those that love your name. 119:133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep your precepts. 119:135 Make your face to shine upon your servant; and teach me your statutes. 119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not your law. 119:137 TZADDI. Righteous art you, O LORD, and upright are your judgments. 119:138 Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and very faithful. 119:139 My zeal has consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten your words. 119:140 Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it. 119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget your precepts. 119:142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth. 119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights. 119:144 The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 119:145 KOPH. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep your statutes. 119:146 I cried unto you; save me, and I shall keep your testimonies. 119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in your word. 119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in your word. 119:149 Hear my voice according unto your lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to your judgment. 119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from your law. 119:151 You art near, O LORD; and all your commandments are truth. 119:152 Concerning your testimonies, I have known of old that you have founded them for ever. 119:153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget your law. 119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to your word. 119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not your statutes. 119:156 Great are your tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to your judgments. 119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from your testimonies. 119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not your word. 119:159 Consider how I love your precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to your lovingkindness. 119:160 Your word is true from the beginning: and every one of your righteous judgments endureth for ever. 119:161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands in awe of your word. 119:162 I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil. 119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but your law do I love. 119:164 Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments. 119:165 Great peace have they which love your law: and nothing shall offend them. 119:166 LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments. 119:167 My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 119:168 I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you. 119:169 TAU. Let my cry come near before you, O LORD: give me understanding according to your word. 119:170 Let my supplication come before you: deliver me according to your word. 119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when you have taught me your statutes. 119:172 My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness. 119:173 Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts. 119:174 I have longed for your salvation, O LORD; and your law is my delight. 119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise you; and let your judgments help me. 119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.
Psalm 120 120:1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 120:3 What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue? 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 120:6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace. 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Psalm 121 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. 121:2 My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 121:3 He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber. 121:4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 121:5 The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade upon your right hand. 121:6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. 121:7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul. 121:8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalm 122 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 122:2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem. 122:3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: 122:4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you. 122:7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. 122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you. 122:9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
Psalm 123 123:1 Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwells in the heavens. 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. 123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Psalm 124 124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 125 125:1 (a song of degrees.) They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides for ever. 125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. 125:4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
Psalm 126 126:1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them. 126:3 The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 126:6 He that goes forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 127 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep. 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 127:5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 128 128:1 Blessed is every one that fears the LORD; that walks in his ways. 128:2 For you shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shalt you be, and it shall be well with you. 128:3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: your children like olive plants round about your table. 128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD. 128:5 The LORD shall bless you out of Zion: and you shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life. 128:6 Yes, you shall see your children's children, and peace upon Israel.
Psalm 129 129:1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 129:4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers afore it groweth up: 129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
Psalm 130 130:1 Out of the depths have I cried unto you, O LORD. 130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 130:3 If you, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 130:4 But there is forgiveness with you, that you mayest be feared. 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in his word do I hope. 130:6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 131 131:1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
Psalm 132 132:1 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: 132:2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 132:3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 132:4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 132:7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 132:8 Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength. 132:9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy. 132:10 For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed. 132:11 The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne. 132:12 If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore. 132:13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation. 132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 132:17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 132:18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Psalm 133 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Psalm 137 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? 137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 137:6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us. 137:9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dasheth your little ones against the stones.
Psalm 138 138:1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you. 138:2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your lovingkindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name. 138:3 In the day when I cried you answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth. 138:5 Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off. 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand shall save me. 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: your mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
Psalm 139 139:1 O LORD, you have searched me, and known me. 139:2 You knows my downsitting and mine uprising, you understandest my thought afar off. 139:3 You compassest my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, you knows it altogether. 139:5 You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 139:7 Whither shall I go from your spirit? or whither shall I flee from your presence? 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, you art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you art there. 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 139:10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 139:12 Yes, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you. 139:13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb. 139:14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. 139:15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 139:17 How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you. 139:19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men. 139:20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take thy name in vain. 139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you? 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 140 140:1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. 140:4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 140:6 I said unto the LORD, You art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. 140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 140:9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Psalm 141 141:1 LORD, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you. 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. 141:8 But mine eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Psalm 142 142:1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble. 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 142:5 I cried unto you, O LORD: I said, You art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 142:6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise your name: the righteous shall compass me about; for you shall deal bountifully with me.
Psalm 143 143:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness. 143:2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified. 143:3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 143:5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands. 143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsteth after you, as a thirsty land. Selah. 143:7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 143:8 Cause me to hear your lovingkindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you. 143:9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto you to hide me. 143:10 Teach me to do your will; for you art my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for your name's sake: for your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 143:12 And of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
Psalm 144 144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 144:3 LORD, what is man, that you takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that you makest account of him! 144:4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away. 144:5 Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them. 144:7 Send your hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 144:8 Whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 144:9 I will sing a new song unto you, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto you. 144:10 It is he that gives salvation unto kings: who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword. 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 144:12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 144:13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 144:14 That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

Psalm 146 146:1 Praise you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 146:4 His breath goes forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever: 146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 146:8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous: 146:9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations.
