2:4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You art my Son; this day have I begotten you. 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. 2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth. 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Psalm 3 3:1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 3:2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3:3 But you, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for you have smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly. 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: your blessing is upon your people. Selah.
Psalm 4 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 4:2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 4:6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us. 4:7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 5 5:1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray. 5:3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up. 5:4 For you art not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you. 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hatest all workers of iniquity. 5:6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 5:7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple. 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make your way straight before my face. 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 5:10 Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you. 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defendest them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you. 5:12 For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
Psalm 6 6:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long? 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies' sake. 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks? 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 6:9 The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalm 7 7:1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honor in the dust. Selah. 7:6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded. 7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high. 7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 7:10 My defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart. 7:11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready. 7:13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 7:14 Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Psalm 8 8:1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! who have set your glory above the heavens. 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength because of your enemies, that you mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; 8:4 What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visitest him? 8:5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. 8:6 You madest him to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet: 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field; 8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas. 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 9 9:1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works. 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High. 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence. 9:4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you satest in the throne judging right. 9:5 You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever. 9:6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment. 9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 9:10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you. 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 9:12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgets not the cry of the humble. 9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lifts me up from the gates of death: 9:14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation. 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight. 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
Psalm 10 10:1 Why standest you afar off, O LORD? why hidest you thyself in times of trouble? 10:2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors. 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 10:5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 10:6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 10:8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 10:9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net. 10:10 He croucheth, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 10:11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it. 10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble. 10:13 Wherefore does the wicked spurn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it. 10:14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless. 10:15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none. 10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 10:17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear: 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
Psalm 11 11:1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates. 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 11:7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance does behold the upright.
Psalm 12 12:1 (to the chief musician upon sheminith, a psalm of david.) Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things: 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 12:7 You shall keep them, O LORD, you shall preserve them from this generation for ever. 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Psalm 13 13:1 How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me? 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 13:5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 14 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good. 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one. 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 14:6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Psalm 15 15:1 LORD, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill? 15:2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. 15:3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor. 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changeth not. 15:5 He that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
Psalm 16 16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust. 16:2 O my soul, you have said unto the LORD, You art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to you; 16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 16:5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you maintainest my lot. 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage. 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 16:10 For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. 16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fulness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 17 17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips. 17:2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence; let your eyes behold the things that are equal. 17:3 You have proved mine heart; you have visited me in the night; you have tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 17:5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not. 17:6 I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech. 17:7 Show your marvellous lovingkindness, O you that savest by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them. 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings, 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 17:11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 17:12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is your sword: 17:14 From men which are your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fillest with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 17:15 As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
Psalm 18 18:1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength. 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yes, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 18:14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 18:22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 18:24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 18:25 With the merciful you will show thyself merciful; with an upright man you will show thyself upright; 18:26 With the pure you will show thyself pure; and with the froward you will show thyself froward. 18:27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks. 18:28 For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 18:29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and makes my way perfect. 18:33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places. 18:34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 18:35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has holden me up, and your gentleness has made me great. 18:36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 18:39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me. 18:40 You have also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 18:41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 18:43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 18:46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 18:47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 18:48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yes, you lifts me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man. 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name. 18:50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Psalm 19 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handywork. 19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. 19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun, 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret faults. 19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 20 20:1 The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you; 20:2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; 20:3 Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; Selah. 20:4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfil all your counsel. 20:5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all your petitions. 20:6 Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
Psalm 21 21:1 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 21:2 You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 21:3 For you preventest him with the blessings of goodness: you settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 21:4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever. 21:5 His glory is great in your salvation: honor and majesty have you laid upon him. 21:6 For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance. 21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 21:8 Thine hand shall find out all your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you. 21:9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 21:10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 21:11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 21:12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready thine arrows upon your strings against the face of them. 21:13 Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.
Psalm 22 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 22:3 But you art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 22:4 Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them. 22:5 They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded. 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 22:8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 22:9 But you art he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 22:10 I was cast upon you from the womb: you art my God from my mother's belly. 22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death. 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 22:19 But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me. 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 22:22 I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you. 22:23 You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel. 22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 22:25 My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you. 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this.
Psalm 23 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 23:2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 23:4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you art with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. 23:5 You preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: you anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 24 24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 24:2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 24:4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 24:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah. 24:7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 24:9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
Psalm 25 25:1 Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 25:2 O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 25:3 Yes, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 25:4 Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. 25:5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you art the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day. 25:6 Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD. 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 25:11 For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 25:12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. 25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 25:16 Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses. 25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you. 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you. 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Psalm 26 26:1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 26:3 For your lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in your truth. 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass your altar, O LORD: 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works. 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honor dwells. 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 26:12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Psalm 27 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 27:2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises unto the LORD. 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 27:8 When you saidst, Seek you my face; my heart said unto you, Your face, LORD, will I seek. 27:9 Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 27:11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 28 28:1 Unto you will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy oracle. 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. 28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 28:6 Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplications. 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him. 28:8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 28:9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
Psalm 29 29:1 Give unto the LORD, O you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 29:3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. 29:4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. 29:6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 29:9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory. 29:10 The LORD sits upon the flood; yes, the LORD sits King for ever. 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Psalm 30 30:1 I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. 30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto you, and you have healed me. 30:3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 30:7 LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain to stand strong: you did hide your face, and I was troubled. 30:8 I cried to you, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth? 30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be you my helper. 30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.
