Psa 1:1 FIRST BOOK: ¶ Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
Psa 1:2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 ¶ Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
Psa 2:1 ¶ Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:
Psa 2:3 "Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords."
Psa 2:4 He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.
Psa 2:5 Then will he speak unto them in his anger, and in his displeasure will he terrify them.
Psa 2:6 [Saying,] Yet have I appointed my king upon Zion my holy mount.
Psa 2:7 ¶ I will announce the decree, the Lord hath said unto me, "My son art thou: I have indeed this day begotten thee.
Psa 2:8 Ask it of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the uttermost ends of the earth.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; like a potter’s vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces."
Psa 2:10 ¶ And now, O ye kings, be wise: take warning, ye judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Do homage to the son, lest he be angry, and ye be lost on the way; for his wrath is so speedily kindled. Happy are all they that put their trust in him.
Psa 3:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, when he fled from before Abshalom his son.> (3:2) Lord, how numerous are my assailants! how many, that rise up against me!
Psa 3:2 (3:3) Many say of my soul, There is no help for him with God. Selah.
Psa 3:3 (3:4) But thou, O Lord, art a shield around me, my glory, and he that lifteth up my head.
Psa 3:4 (3:5) ¶ With my voice I call unto the Lord, and he answereth me out of his holy mountain. Selah.
Psa 3:5 (3:6) I laid myself down and slept: I awoke; for the Lord sustaineth me.
Psa 3:6 (3:7) I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have placed themselves round about against me.
Psa 3:7 (3:8) Arise, O Lord, help me, O my God; for thou smitest all my enemies upon the cheek bone: the teeth of the wicked dost thou break.
Psa 3:8 (3:9) Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah.
Psa 4:1 ¶ <To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm of David.> (4:2) When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: amidst distress thou hast [ever] granted me enlargement; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
Psa 4:2 (4:3) O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek for lies? Selah.
Psa 4:3 (4:4) But know that the Lord hath set apart the pious for himself: the Lord will hear when I call on him.
Psa 4:4 (4:5) Tremble, and sin not: commune with your heart upon your bed, and be still Selah.
Psa 4:5 (4:6) Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
Psa 4:6 (4:7) ¶ Many say, "Who will show us happiness? Let shine brightly over us the light of thy countenance, O Lord."
Psa 4:7 (4:8) [But] thou hast placed more joy in my heart than at the time when their corn and their wine were increased.
Psa 4:8 (4:9) In peace, altogether, will I lay me down and sleep; for thou, Lord, alone, causest me to dwell in safety.
Psa 5:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Nechiloth, a psalm of David.> (5:2) To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.
Psa 5:2 (5:3) Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee I pray.
Psa 5:3 (5:4) O Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and look up with hope.
Psa 5:4 (5:5) For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil cannot abide with thee.
Psa 5:5 (5:6) The arrogant cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.
Psa 5:6 (5:7) Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: the man of blood and deceit the Lord abhorreth.
Psa 5:7 (5:8) ¶ But as for me––in the abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
Psa 5:8 (5:9) O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.
Psa 5:9 (5:10) For there is not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: they flatter with their tongue.
Psa 5:10 (5:11) Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
Psa 5:11 (5:12) Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.
Psa 5:12 (5:13) For thou wilt bless the righteous, O Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
Psa 6:1 ¶ <To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.> (6:2) O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not in thy wrath.
Psa 6:2 (6:3) Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for I am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.
Psa 6:3 (6:4) And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet––?
Psa 6:4 (6:5) Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.
Psa 6:5 (6:6) For in death men do not remember thee: in the nether world, who shall give thee thanks?
Psa 6:6 (6:7) I am weary with my sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.
Psa 6:7 (6:8) My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.
Psa 6:8 (6:9) ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of wickedness; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 (6:10) The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will accept my prayer.
Psa 6:10 (6:11) Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
Psa 7:1 ¶ <A Shiggayon of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the affairs of Cush the Benjamite.> (7:2) O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me from every one of my persecutors, and deliver me:
Psa 7:2 (7:3) Lest he tear like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
Psa 7:3 (7:4) O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be injustice in my hands;
Psa 7:4 (7:5) If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:
Psa 7:5 (7:6) May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be in the dust. Selah.
Psa 7:6 (7:7) Arise, O Lord, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment that thou hast commanded.
Psa 7:7 (7:8) So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
Psa 7:8 (7:9) The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
Psa 7:9 (7:10) Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.
Psa 7:10 (7:11) ¶ My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
Psa 7:11 (7:12) God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
Psa 7:12 (7:13) If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
Psa 7:13 (7:14) Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
Psa 7:14 (7:15) Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Psa 7:15 (7:16) He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
Psa 7:16 (7:17) His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
Psa 7:17 (7:18) I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
Psa 8:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Gittith, a psalm of David.> (8:2) O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth! thou who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.
Psa 8:2 (8:3) Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou founded [thy] might, because of thy opponents, that thou mightest bring to silence the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.
Psa 8:3 (8:4) ¶ When I behold thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast established:––
Psa 8:4 (8:5) What is the mortal, that thou rememberest him? and the son of man, that thou thinkest of him:
Psa 8:5 (8:6) Yet thou hast made him but a little less than angels, and hast crowned him with honor and glory.
Psa 8:6 (8:7) Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; every thing hast thou placed beneath his feet:
Psa 8:7 (8:8) Flocks and herds altogether, and also the beasts of the field;
Psa 8:8 (8:9) The birds of heaven, and the fishes of the sea, whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Psa 8:9 (8:10) O Eternal One our Lord, how excellent is thy name on all the earth!
Psa 9:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.> (9:2) I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.
Psa 9:2 (9:3) I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:
Psa 9:3 (9:4) When my enemies are turned backward, [when] they fall and perish at thy presence.
Psa 9:4 (9:5) For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.
Psa 9:5 (9:6) Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out for ever and ever.
Psa 9:6 (9:7) O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed,––lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.
Psa 9:7 (9:8) But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.
Psa 9:8 (9:9) And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.
Psa 9:9 (9:10) The Lord also will be a strong–hold for the oppressed, a strong–hold in times of distress.
Psa 9:10 (9:11) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.
Psa 9:11 (9:12) ¶ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwelleth in Zion: announce among the people his deeds.
Psa 9:12 (9:13) For he, that inquireth after acts of blood, hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
Psa 9:13 (9:14) Be gracious unto me, O Lord; have regard to my affliction [coming] from those that hate me, thou who liftest me up from the gates of death:
Psa 9:14 (9:15) In order that I may relate all thy praises in the gates of the daughters of Zion: I will be glad in thy salvation.
Psa 9:15 (9:16) Sunk are nations in the ditch that they have prepared: in this net which they had laid in secret is their own foot caught.
Psa 9:16 (9:17) The Lord is made known: he executed justice: through the doing of his own hands is the wicked ensnared. Higgayon, Selah.
Psa 9:17 (9:18) The wicked shall return into hell, all the nations that are forgetful of God.
Psa 9:18 (9:19) For not everlastingly shall the needy be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Psa 9:19 (9:20) Arise, O Lord; let not the mortal boast of his strength; let nations be judged before thy face.
Psa 9:20 (9:21) Place, O Lord, fear over them: let nations know, that they are but mortals. Selah.
Psa 10:1 ¶ Wherefore, O Lord, standest thou afar off? hidest thyself in times of distress?
Psa 10:2 In the pride of the wicked doth he hotly pursue the poor: they are seized through the plans that those have devised.
Psa 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of the longing of his soul, and the robber blesseth himself when he hath despised the Lord.
Psa 10:4 The wicked, according to the pride of his wrathfulness, [saith,] He will not require, There is no God [in] all his plans.
Psa 10:5 Prosperous are his ways at all times; far in the height [remain] thy punishments away from him: all his assailants––he puffeth at them.
Psa 10:6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; I shall be for many generations, and without adversity.
Psa 10:7 Of the false oaths is his mouth full, and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
Psa 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking–places of the villages; in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes search for the unfortunate.
Psa 10:9 He lieth in wait in a secret place like a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to snatch up the poor: he snatcheth up the poor, as they draweth him into his net.
Psa 10:10 He croucheth, he bendeth himself, and the unfortunate fall through his might.
Psa 10:11 He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; he hath hidden his face; he will never see it.
Psa 10:12 ¶ Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
Psa 10:13 For what doth the wicked despise God? [why] doth he say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?
Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest mischief and despiteful acts, to requite it with thy hand: unto thee the unfortunate committeth himself; unto the fatherless hast thou [ever] been a helper.
Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked; and of the bad man––thou wilt inquire for his wickedness [till] thou find none.
Psa 10:16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: nations are perished out of his land.
Psa 10:17 The longing of the afflicted dost thou hear, O Lord! thou wilt strengthen their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to listen:
Psa 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that not farther more shall be arrogant the mortal from the earth.
Psa 11:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, by David.> In the Lord have I put my trust: how can ye say to my soul, Flee to your mountain as a bird?
Psa 11:2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they arrange their arrow upon the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.
Psa 11:3 For [if] the foundations be torn down, what can the righteous do?
Psa 11:4 ¶ The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord hath his throne in the heavens, his eyes behold, his eyelids prove, the children of men.
Psa 11:5 The Lord proveth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Psa 11:6 He letteth rain upon the wicked burning coals, fire and brimstone; and a glowing wind is the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For righteous is the Lord, he loveth righteousness: his countenance doth behold the upright.
Psa 12:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.> (12:2) Help, O Lord; for the pious have ceased to be; for the truthful have failed from among the children of men.
Psa 12:2 (12:3) Deceptively do they speak every one with his neighbor, with flattering lips, with a double heart do they speak.
Psa 12:3 (12:4) May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh boastful things:
Psa 12:4 (12:5) Who have said, With our tongue will we be mighty; our lips are with us; who is Lord over us!
Psa 12:5 (12:6) Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord: I will grant safety to him for whom the other layeth a snare.
Psa 12:6 (12:7) The words of the Lord are pure words, as silver refined in the crucible of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 (12:8) Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve them; thou wilt guard them from this generation for ever.
Psa 12:8 (12:9) On every side do the wicked walk about, when the vile are exalted over the sons of man.
Psa 13:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (13:2) How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 (13:3) How long shall I have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?
Psa 13:3 (13:4) Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;
Psa 13:4 (13:5) That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.
Psa 13:5 (13:6) But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of thy salvation:
Psa 13:6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psa 14:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, by David.> The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth good.
Psa 14:2 The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.
Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.
Psa 14:4 ¶ Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on the Lord.
Psa 14:5 There are they terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:
Psa 14:6 The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.
Psa 14:7 Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.
Psa 15:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Lord, who may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?
Psa 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;
Psa 15:3 That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow–man;
Psa 15:4 In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;
Psa 15:5 That putteth not out his money for interest, and taketh no bribe against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved to eternity.
Psa 16:1 ¶ <A Michtham of David.> Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
Psa 16:2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
Psa 16:3 [But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent––in them is all my delight.
Psa 16:4 Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink–offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon my lips.
Psa 16:5 Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
Psa 16:6 My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
Psa 16:7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
Psa 16:8 ¶ I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
Psa 16:9 Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] to see corruption.
Psa 16:11 Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
Psa 17:1 ¶ <A prayer of David.> Hear, O Lord, [the cause of] righteousness, attend unto my entreaty, give ear unto my prayer, coming from lips without deceit.
Psa 17:2 Let from thy presence my sentence come forth; let thy eyes behold what is right.
Psa 17:3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast thought of me in the night; thou hast refined me––thou couldst find nothing: my purpose doth not pass beyond [the words of] my mouth.
Psa 17:4 Among the deeds of men did I observe, by the word of thy lips, the paths of the dissolute.
Psa 17:5 My steps held firmly to thy tracks, [and] my footsteps did not slip.
Psa 17:6 I call on thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thy ear unto me, hear my speech.
Psa 17:7 Show marvelously thy loving–kindnesses, O thou that savest those who put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them] by thy right hand.
Psa 17:8 ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye; conceal me under the shadow of thy wings,
Psa 17:9 From the wicked that despoil me, my enemies, who, to take my life, compass me about.
Psa 17:10 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Psa 17:11 On our steps they now encompass us: they direct their eyes to turn aside in the land.
Psa 17:12 Every man is just like a lion that is greedy to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in a covert.
Psa 17:13 Arise, O Lord, prevent him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, who is thy sword,––
Psa 17:14 From these men––thy hand––O Lord, from the men of this world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hidden treasure: they have children in plenty, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
Psa 17:15 As for me, in righteousness shall I behold thy face: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with contemplating thy likeness.
Psa 18:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, by the servant of the Lord, by David, who spoke unto the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the power of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; (18:2) And he said,> I ever love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Psa 18:2 (18:3) The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Psa 18:3 (18:4) Praised, I cried, be the Lord, and from my enemies was I saved.
Psa 18:4 (18:5) The bonds of death encompassed me, and the floods of destruction made me afraid.
Psa 18:5 (18:6) The bonds of hell encircled me: the snares of death seized on me.
Psa 18:6 (18:7) [When] in my distress I called upon the Lord, and unto my God I cried: he heard from his temple my voice, and my complaint came before him, even into his ears.
Psa 18:7 (18:8) Then shook and trembled the earth; and the foundations of the mountains were moved; and they were shaken, because he was wroth.
Psa 18:8 (18:9) Smoke went up in his anger and consuming fire out of his mouth: coals flamed forth from him.
Psa 18:9 (18:10) And he bent the heavens, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet:
Psa 18:10 (18:11) And he rode upon a cherub, and flew along, and he flitted by upon the wings of the wind.
Psa 18:11 (18:12) He made darkness his hiding–place, round about him as his pavilion, dark waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Psa 18:12 (18:13) From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed away, [with] hail–stones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 (18:14) And the Lord thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered forth his voice, [with] hail–stones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:14 (18:15) And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Psa 18:15 (18:16) And then were seen the channels of the waters, and there were laid open the foundations of the world, through thy rebuke, O Lord, through the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16 (18:17) He stretched out from above [his hand], he took me; he drew me out from mighty waters.
Psa 18:17 (18:18) He delivered me from my enemy, the strong, and from those that hated me, when they were too mighty for me.
Psa 18:18 (18:19) They overcame me on the day of my calamity; but the Lord became my stay.
Psa 18:19 (18:20) And he brought me forth into a large space; he delivered me, because he had delight in me.
Psa 18:20 (18:21) ¶ The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.
Psa 18:21 (18:22) For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psa 18:22 (18:23) For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes had I not put away from me.
Psa 18:23 (18:24) I was also upright with him, and I guarded myself against my iniquity.
Psa 18:24 (18:25) Therefore did the Lord recompense me according to my righteousness, according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Psa 18:25 (18:26) With the kind thou wilt show thyself kind; with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
Psa 18:26 (18:27) With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt wage a contest.
Psa 18:27 (18:28) For thou wilt indeed save the afflicted people; but haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
Psa 18:28 (18:29) For thou wilt cause my light to shine: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psa 18:29 (18:30) ¶ For [aided] by thee I run through a troop; and [helped] by my God I leap over a wall.
Psa 18:30 (18:31) As for God,––his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a shield to all those that trust in him.
Psa 18:31 (18:32) For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock beside our God?
Psa 18:32 (18:33) He is the God that girdeth me with strength, and rendereth my way unobstructed.
Psa 18:33 (18:34) He maketh my feet like those of the hinds, and upon my high–places he causeth me to stand.
Psa 18:34 (18:35) He teacheth my hands for the war, so that a brazen bow is bent by my arms.
Psa 18:35 (18:36) And thou gavest me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand supported me: and thy meekness hath made me great.
Psa 18:36 (18:37) Thou enlargest my steps under me, so that my joints do not slip.
Psa 18:37 (18:38) I pursue my enemies, and overtake them; and I return not again till I have made an end of them.
Psa 18:38 (18:39) I crush them that they are not able to rise: they fall under my feet.
Psa 18:39 (18:40) For thou hast girded me with strength for the war: thou subduest my opponents under me.
Psa 18:40 (18:41) And my enemies thou causest to turn their back to me; and those that hate me,––that I may destroy them.
Psa 18:41 (18:42) They cry, but there is none to help; unto the Lord,––but he answereth them not.
Psa 18:42 (18:43) And I beat them small as the dust before the wind: like the dirt in the streets do I cast them out.
Psa 18:43 (18:44) Thou deliverest me from the contests of the people; thou appointest me to be the head of nations: a people that I know not shall serve me.
Psa 18:44 (18:45) As soon as their ear heareth they shall be obedient to me: the children of the stranger shall utter flattery unto me.
Psa 18:45 (18:46) The children of the stranger shall fade away, and come forth trembling out of their close places.
Psa 18:46 (18:47) The Lord liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
Psa 18:47 (18:48) The God that granteth me vengeance, and subdueth nations under me;
Psa 18:48 (18:49) That delivereth me from my enemies: also above my opponents thou liftest me up; thou deliverest me from the man of violence.
Psa 18:49 (18:50) Therefore will I give thanks unto thee among the nations, O Lord, and unto thy name will I sing praises,––
Psa 18:50 (18:51) [To him] that maketh great the salvation of his king, and who sheweth kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
Psa 19:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (19:2) The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
Psa 19:2 (19:3) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
Psa 19:3 (19:4) There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not heard.
Psa 19:4 (19:5) [But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;
Psa 19:5 (19:6) And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man to run his course;
Psa 19:6 (19:7) From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
Psa 19:7 (19:8) ¶ The law of the Lord is perfect, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 (19:9) The precepts of the Lord are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9 (19:10) The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.
Psa 19:10 (19:11) They are those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.
Psa 19:11 (19:12) Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.
Psa 19:12 (19:13) Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.
Psa 19:13 (19:14) Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any great transgression.
Psa 19:14 (19:15) May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
Psa 20:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (20:2) May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;
Psa 20:2 (20:3) May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;
Psa 20:3 (20:4) May he remember all thy meat–offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt–sacrifice. Selah.
Psa 20:4 (20:5) May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.
Psa 20:5 (20:6) We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.
Psa 20:6 (20:7) ¶ Now I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength of his right hand.
Psa 20:7 (20:8) Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.
Psa 20:8 (20:9) They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.
Psa 20:9 (20:10) O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].
Psa 21:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (21:2) O Lord, because of thy strength will the king rejoice; and through thy salvation how greatly will he be glad!
Psa 21:2 (21:3) The longing of his heart hast thou given him, and the request of his lips hast thou not withholden. Selah.
Psa 21:3 (21:4) For thou meetest him unasked with the blessings of happiness: thou settest on his head a crown of pure gold.
Psa 21:4 (21:5) Life hath he asked of thee, thou gavest it to him, length of days for ever and ever.
Psa 21:5 (21:6) Great is his honor through thy help: glory and majesty thou layest upon him.
Psa 21:6 (21:7) For thou appointest him to be a blessing for ever: thou makest him glad with joy from thy presence.
Psa 21:7 (21:8) ¶ For the king trusteth in the Lord; and through the kindness of the Most High shall he not be moved.
Psa 21:8 (21:9) Thy hand will reach all thy enemies: thy right hand will reach those that hate thee.
Psa 21:9 (21:10) Thou wilt render them as a fiery oven at the time of thy anger: the Lord in his wrath will destroy them, and a fire will devour them.
Psa 21:10 (21:11) Their fruit wilt thou cause to perish from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
Psa 21:11 (21:12) For they directed against thee evil: they devised a mischievous purpose, which they were not able to perform.
Psa 21:12 (21:13) For thou wilt make them turn their back; upon thy bow–strings thou wilt make ready [thy arrows] against their face.
Psa 21:13 (21:14) Exalt thyself, O Lord, in thy strength; [and] we will sing and praise thy power.
Psa 22:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Ayeleth–hashachar, a psalm of David.> (22:2) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from saving me, and from the words of my loud complaint?
Psa 22:2 (22:3) O my God! I call in the day–time, but thou answerest not; and in the night I find no rest.
Psa 22:3 (22:4) But thou art holy, O thou that dwellest amidst the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 (22:5) In thee did our fathers trust: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
Psa 22:5 (22:6) Unto thee they cried, and were delivered: in thee they trusted, and were not put to shame.
Psa 22:6 (22:7) But I am a worm, and not a man, a reproach of men, and despised of people.
Psa 22:7 (22:8) All those who see me laugh me to scorn: they draw open their lips, they shake their head, [saying,]
Psa 22:8 (22:9) "Let him throw himself on the Lord, that he may deliver him: he will save him, for he delighteth in him."
Psa 22:9 (22:10) Yea, thou art he that took me from the womb: thou hast been my trust when I hung on my mother’s breasts.
Psa 22:10 (22:11) Upon thee was I cast from my birth: from my mother’s womb art thou my God.
Psa 22:11 (22:12) ¶ Oh be not far from me [now]; for distress is near; for there is none to help.
Psa 22:12 (22:13) Many steers have encompassed me: the strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Psa 22:13 (22:14) They have opened wide against me their mouth, [as] a ravenous and roaring lion.
Psa 22:14 (22:15) Like water am I poured out, and all my bones are disjointed: my heart is become like wax, it is melted in the midst of my entrails.
Psa 22:15 (22:16) Like a potsherd is my strength dried up; and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and into the dust of death hast thou laid me down.
Psa 22:16 (22:17) For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: like lions [they threaten] my hands and my feet.
Psa 22:17 (22:18) I may number all my bones: [while] they stare and look upon me.
Psa 22:18 (22:19) They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my garment do they cast lots.
Psa 22:19 (22:20) But thou, O Lord, be not far from me: O [thou who art] my strength, hasten to my aid.
Psa 22:20 (22:21) Deliver from the sword my life, from the power of the dog my solitary soul.
Psa 22:21 (22:22) Save me from the lion’s mouth; as thou hast answered me from the horns of the reem.
Psa 22:22 (22:23) ¶ I will relate thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Psa 22:23 (22:24) Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and be in dread of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Psa 22:24 (22:25) For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor; neither hath he hidden his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Psa 22:25 (22:26) Of thee shall be my praise in a great assembly: my vows will I pay in the presence of those who fear him.
Psa 22:26 (22:27) The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they who seek him shall praise the Lord: may your heart live for ever.
Psa 22:27 (22:28) All the ends of the world shall remember and return unto the Lord: and all the families of the nations shall bow themselves down before thee.
Psa 22:28 (22:29) For the kingdom is the Lord’s, and he governeth the nations.
Psa 22:29 (22:30) All they that eat the fat of the earth shall bow themselves down; before him shall bend the knee all that are going down into the dust; for none can keep alive his own soul.
Psa 22:30 (22:31) Distant ages shall serve him; there shall be related of the Lord unto future generations.
Psa 22:31 (22:32) They will come, and will tell his righteousness unto a people yet unborn, that he hath done this.
Psa 23:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.
Psa 23:3 My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff––they indeed comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.
Psa 23:6 Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
Psa 24:1 ¶ <Of David a psalm.> Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;
Psa 24:2 For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.
Psa 24:3 ¶ Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?
Psa 24:4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:
Psa 24:5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.
Psa 24:6 This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. Selah.
Psa 24:7 ¶ Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
Psa 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Psa 24:9 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
Psa 24:10 Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
Psa 25:1 ¶ <Of David.> Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 25:2 O my God, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3 Yea, none that wait on thee will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
Psa 25:4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.
Psa 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation: on thee do I wait all the day.
Psa 25:6 Remember thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Psa 25:7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not remember: according to thy kindness bear thou me in remembrance, for the sake of thy goodness, O Lord.
Psa 25:8 ¶ Good and upright is the Lord: therefore he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
Psa 25:9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
Psa 25:10 All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Psa 25:11 For the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
Psa 25:12 Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
Psa 25:13 His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
Psa 25:14 The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant––to make it known to them.
Psa 25:15 ¶ My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
Psa 25:16 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Psa 25:17 The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
Psa 25:18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Psa 25:19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
Psa 25:20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
Psa 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.
Psa 25:22 Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
Psa 26:1 ¶ <Of David.> Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.
Psa 26:2 Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify my reins and my heart.
Psa 26:3 For thy kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.
Psa 26:4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].
Psa 26:5 I have hated the assemblage of evil–doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.
Psa 26:6 ¶ I will wash in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy altar, O Lord:
Psa 26:7 That I may publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.
Psa 26:8 Lord, I love the site of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Psa 26:9 Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;
Psa 26:10 In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
Psa 26:11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
Psa 26:12 My foot standeth on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.
Psa 27:1 ¶ <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
Psa 27:2 When evil–doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
Psa 27:3 If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
Psa 27:4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
Psa 27:5 For he will hide me in his pavilion on the day of evil; he will conceal me in the secret of his tabernacle; upon a rock will he place me high.
Psa 27:6 And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all round about me; and I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, and I will triumphantly play unto the Lord.
Psa 27:7 ¶ Hear, O Lord, my voice, [when] I call, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
Psa 27:8 Of thee, said my heart, "Seek ye my presence": thy presence, Lord, will I seek.
Psa 27:9 Hide [then] not thy face from me; reject not in anger thy servant, thou [who] hast been my help: cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Psa 27:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; but the Lord will take me up.
Psa 27:11 Point me out thy way, O Lord! and guide me on a level path, because of those that regard me enviously.
Psa 27:12 Give me not up to the [revengeful] desire of my assailants; for there are risen up against me false witnesses, and such as utter violence.
Psa 27:13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of life––
Psa 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let thy heart be of good courage; and only wait on the Lord.
Psa 28:1 ¶ <Of David.> Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; O my rock, turn not unheeding from me: lest thou turn away silent from me, and I become like those that go down into the pit.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the most holy place of thy sanctuary.
Psa 28:3 Snatch me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of injustice, who speak peace with their neighbors, with mischief in their heart.
Psa 28:4 Give unto them according to their doing, and according to the evil of their deeds; according to the work of their hands do thou give unto them: bestow their [just] recompense on them.
Psa 28:5 Because they have no regard for the doings of the Lord, nor the works of his hands: may he pull them down, and not build them up.
Psa 28:6 ¶ Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
Psa 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him hath my heart trusted, and I am helped, and my heart exulteth; and with my song will I thank him.
Psa 28:8 The Lord is strength unto them, and he is the fortress of victory of his anointed.
Psa 28:9 Help thy people, and bless thy heritage: and feed them, and exalt them unto all eternity.
Psa 29:1 ¶ <A psalm of David.> Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.
Psa 29:2 Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Psa 29:3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth, the Lord––upon mighty waters.
Psa 29:4 The voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with power; the voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with majesty.
Psa 29:5 The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;
Psa 29:6 And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.
Psa 29:7 The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.
Psa 29:8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
Psa 29:9 The voice of the Lord causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh [of his] glory.
Psa 29:10 The Lord sat [enthroned] at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.
Psa 29:11 The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Psa 30:1 ¶ <A psalm, a song at the dedication of the temple, of David.> (30:2) 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 (30:3) O Lord my God, I cried loudly unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
Psa 30:3 (30:4) O Lord, thou hast brought up from the nether world my soul: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psa 30:4 (30:5) Sing unto the Lord, O ye his pious ones, and give thanks to the memorial of his holiness.
Psa 30:5 (30:6) For his anger is momentary, [but] life is in his favor: in the evening [cometh] weeping to stay for a night, but in the morning, there is joyful song.
Psa 30:6 (30:7) ¶ And I had said indeed in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
Psa 30:7 (30:8) Lord, by thy favor hadst thou caused my mountain to stand in strength: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was terrified.
Psa 30:8 (30:9) Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
Psa 30:9 (30:10) What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the grave? Shall the dust thank thee? shall it announce thy truth?
Psa 30:10 (30:11) Hear, O Lord, and be gracious unto me: Lord, be thou a helper unto me.
Psa 30:11 (30:12) Thou hast changed my mourning into dancing for me; thou hast loosened my sack–cloth, and girded me with joy.
Psa 30:12 (30:13) To the end that my glorious soul may sing praise to thee, and never be silent. O Lord my God, for ever will I give thanks unto thee.
Psa 31:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (31:2) In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; Oh that I may never be put to shame: through thy righteousness do thou release me.
Psa 31:2 (31:3) Bend unto me thy ear; speedily deliver me: be thou unto me as a rock of protection, as a mountain strong–hold to save me.
Psa 31:3 (31:4) For my rock and my stronghold art thou; and for the sake of thy name lead me, and guide me.
Psa 31:4 (31:5) Draw me out of the net which they have laid secretly for me; for thou art my protection.
Psa 31:5 (31:6) Into thy hand do I commit my spirit: thou redeemest me, O Lord, the God of truth.
Psa 31:6 (31:7) I hate those that depend on lying vanities; but I trust indeed in the Lord.
Psa 31:7 (31:8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy kindness; because thou hast seen my misery; thou hast taken cognizance of the distresses of my soul;
Psa 31:8 (31:9) And thou hast not surrendered me into the hand of the enemy: thou hast caused my feet to stand on an ample space.
Psa 31:9 (31:10) ¶ Be gracious unto me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is consumed through vexation––my soul [too] and my body.
Psa 31:10 (31:11) For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing, my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Psa 31:11 (31:12) Because of all my assailants am I become a reproach, and unto my neighbors greatly so, and a terror to my acquaintance, those that see me abroad flee away from me.
Psa 31:12 (31:13) I am forgotten as a dead man out of the heart: I am become like a perishable vessel.
Psa 31:13 (31:14) For I have heard the slandering of many; terror was on every side, while they took counsel together against me: to take away my life did they purpose.
Psa 31:14 (31:15) But I trusted well in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Psa 31:15 (31:16) In thy hand are my destinies: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from my persecutors.
Psa 31:16 (31:17) Let thy face shine upon thy servant: save me through thy kindness.
Psa 31:17 (31:18) O Lord, let me not be put to shame; for I have called on thee: let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent, [passing] to the nether world.
Psa 31:18 (31:19) Let the lying lips be made dumb, which speak hard things against the righteous, with pride and contempt.
Psa 31:19 (31:20) ¶ Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast treasured up for those that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for those that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Psa 31:20 (31:21) Thou wilt conceal them in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracy of men: thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Psa 31:21 (31:22) Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shown me his kindness wonderfully in a beleaguered city.
Psa 31:22 (31:23) And yet had I said in my despondency, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou didst hear the voice of my supplications when I cried loudly unto thee.
Psa 31:23 (31:24) Oh love the Lord, all ye his pious ones: the Lord preserveth the faithful, and recompenses the presumption of him that acteth proudly.
Psa 31:24 (31:25) Be strong, and let your heart be of good courage, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Psa 32:1 ¶ <Of David: a Maskil.> Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Psa 32:2 Happy is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Psa 32:3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my crying all the day.
Psa 32:4 For by day and night lay thy hand heavily upon me: my [life’s] moisture hath been changed through the droughts of summer. Selah.
Psa 32:5 My sin do I ever acknowledge unto thee, and my iniquity have I not covered up. I said, I will make confession because of my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou truly forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Psa 32:6 For this shall every pious one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely [then] when great waters overflow, they shall never reach unto him.
Psa 32:7 ¶ Thou art my hiding–place; from distress wilt thou preserve me; with songs of deliverance wilt thou encompass me. Selah.
Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee and I will teach thee concerning the way which thou oughtest to go: I will counsel thee with my eye.
Psa 32:9 Be ye not like the horse, or like the mule, who hath no understanding; who must be held in with bit and bridle, his ornament, lest he come near unto thee.
Psa 32:10 Many are the pains of the wicked; but him that trusteth in the Lord will he encompass with kindness.
Psa 32:11 Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Psa 33:1 ¶ Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
Psa 33:2 Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten–stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
Psa 33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
Psa 33:4 For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.
Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness of the Lord.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
Psa 33:7 He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store–houses the depths [of the sea].
Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
Psa 33:9 For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
Psa 33:10 The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
Psa 33:11 The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
Psa 33:12 ¶ Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
Psa 33:13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
Psa 33:14 From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Psa 33:15 He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
Psa 33:16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Psa 33:17 Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
Psa 33:19 To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
Psa 33:21 For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
Psa 33:22 Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
Psa 34:1 ¶ <By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.> (34:2) I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
Psa 34:2 (34:3) My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.
Psa 34:3 (34:4) Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Psa 34:4 (34:5) I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
Psa 34:5 (34:6) They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
Psa 34:6 (34:7) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
Psa 34:7 (34:8) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
Psa 34:8 (34:9) Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
Psa 34:9 (34:10) Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.
Psa 34:10 (34:11) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
Psa 34:11 (34:12) ¶ Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
Psa 34:12 (34:13) Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?
Psa 34:13 (34:14) Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
Psa 34:14 (34:15) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Psa 34:15 (34:16) The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
Psa 34:16 (34:17) [But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.
Psa 34:17 (34:18) Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.
Psa 34:18 (34:19) The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken–hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.
Psa 34:19 (34:20) Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.
Psa 34:20 (34:21) He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Psa 34:21 (34:22) The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.
Psa 34:22 (34:23) The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
Psa 35:1 ¶ <Of David.> Contend, O Lord, with those that contend with me: fight against those that fight against me.
Psa 35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up for my help.
Psa 35:3 And draw out the spear, and step in against my pursuers; say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Psa 35:4 Let those be put to shame and be confounded that seek after my life: let those be turned backward and be made to blush, that devise unhappiness for me.
Psa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind; and may the angel of the Lord cast them forth.
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 have they hidden for me their net in a pit, without cause have they dug [pit–falls] against my life.
Psa 35:8 May then destruction come upon each of them at unawares; and may his net that he hath hidden catch himself: in [utter] destruction let him fall therein.
Psa 35:9 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: she shall be glad through his salvation.
Psa 35:10 All my bones will say, Lord, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?
Psa 35:11 ¶ There rise up witnesses of violence; concerning what I know not they question me.
Psa 35:12 They recompense me with evil in place of good, [bringing] bereavement on my soul.
Psa 35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted with fasting my soul, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Psa 35:14 As though he had been to me a friend or a brother did I walk about: as one that mourneth for a mother did I sorrowfully bend down my head.
Psa 35:15 But in my downfall they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; there gathered themselves together against me abject wretches, whom I knew not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
Psa 35:16 With hypocritical babbling mockers, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Psa 35:17 ¶ O Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, from the young lions my solitary spirit.
Psa 35:18 I will thank thee in the great assembly: among a mighty people will I praise thee.
Psa 35:19 Let not rejoice over me those that are my enemies wrongfully: [nor] let those who hate me without cause wink with the eye.
Psa 35:20 For they speak not peace; but against the quiet in the land they devise deceitful words.
Psa 35:21 Yea, they opened wide against me their mouth; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Psa 35:22 Thou hast seen it, O Lord! remain not silent: O Lord, be not far from me.
Psa 35:23 Arouse thyself, and awake to do me justice, my God and my Lord, unto my cause.
Psa 35:24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice over me.
Psa 35:25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, [this is the wish of] our soul: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Psa 35:26 Let those be made ashamed and put to the blush together that rejoice at my mishap; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves above me.
Psa 35:27 Let those shout, and rejoice, that desire my righteousness: yea, let them say continually, Great is the Lord, who desireth the welfare of his servant.
Psa 35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness, all the day of thy praise.
Psa 36:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, by the servant of the Lord, by David.> (36:2) Saith vice itself to the wicked––so I feel it within my heart–– that he should have no dread of God before his eyes.
Psa 36:2 (36:3) For he flattereth himself in his own eyes [too much] to find out his iniquity to hate it.
Psa 36:3 (36:4) The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
Psa 36:4 (36:5) He deviseth wickedness upon his couch; he placeth himself on a way that is not good; evil he despiseth not.
Psa 36:5 (36:6) ¶ O Lord, into the heavens reacheth thy kindness, thy faithfulness even into the skies.
Psa 36:6 (36:7) Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy acts of justice like the great deep: man and beast dost thou ever help, O Lord.
Psa 36:7 (36:8) How precious is thy kindness, O God! And the children of men that seek shelter under the shadow of thy wings,––
Psa 36:8 (36:9) These will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and of the stream of thy delights wilt thou give them to drink.
Psa 36:9 (36:10) For with thee is the source of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Psa 36:10 (36:11) Draw down continuously thy kindness unto those that acknowledge thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11 (36:12) Let not come against me the foot of pride, and let not the hand of the wicked chase me off.
Psa 36:12 (36:13) There are fallen the workers of wickedness: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Psa 37:1 ¶ <Of David.> Do not fret thyself because of the evil–doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Psa 37:2 For like the grass they shall soon be mowed down, and like the green herb shall they wither.
Psa 37:3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed [thyself] with truthfulness.
Psa 37:4 And delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give thee the wishes of thy heart.
Psa 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord, and trust in him: and he will accomplish it.
Psa 37:6 And he will bring forth as the light thy righteousness, and the justice of thy [cause] as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 ¶ Be silent before the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who practices wicked devices.
Psa 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Psa 37:9 For evil–doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, these––shall truly inherit the land.
Psa 37:10 For yet but for a little while, and the wicked shall be no more: yea, thou wilt look carefully at his place, and he shall not be there.
Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves because of the abundance of peace.
Psa 37:12 The wicked purposeth evil against the just, and gnasheth against him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 The Lord will laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
Psa 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cause the poor and needy to fall, and to slaughter such as are of an upright course [of life].
Psa 37:15 [But] their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Psa 37:16 Better is the little that the righteous hath, than the great riches of many wicked.
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the upholder of the righteous is the Lord.
Psa 37:18 The Lord regardeth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall endure for ever.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be made ashamed in the time of unhappiness; and in the days of famine shall they be satisfied.
Psa 37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.
Psa 37:21 ¶ The wicked borroweth, and repayeth not; but the righteous is beneficent, and giveth.
Psa 37:22 For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23 By the Lord are the steps of the righteous man established; and he findeth pleasure in his course [of life].
Psa 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth his hand.
Psa 37:25 I have been young, and I am also grown old: yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking for bread.
Psa 37:26 He is all the time beneficent, and lendeth: and his seed will be for a blessing.
Psa 37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Psa 37:28 For the Lord loveth justice, and never forsaketh his pious servants: they are for ever preserved; but the seed of the wicked will be cut off.
Psa 37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell for ever therein.
Psa 37:30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh what is just.
Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart: none of his steps shall slip.
Psa 37:32 The wicked looketh out for the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Psa 37:33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, and will not condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 ¶ Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, shalt thou look on.
Psa 37:35 I have seen the wicked terrible in power, and striking root like a green tree in its native soil.
Psa 37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was no more: and I sought him, but he could not be found.
Psa 37:37 Observe the perfect man, and behold the upright; for there is a [happy] future for the man of peace.
Psa 37:38 But the transgressors are destroyed together: the future of the wicked is cut off.
Psa 37:39 And the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord: he is their strong–hold in the time of distress.
Psa 37:40 And the Lord helpeth them, and delivereth them; he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; because they have put their trust in him.
Psa 38:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.> (38:2) O Lord, correct me not in thy wrath, nor chastise me in thy fury.
Psa 38:2 (38:3) For thy arrows have penetrated into me, and thy hand presseth down upon me.
Psa 38:3 (38:4) There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation: there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
Psa 38:4 (38:5) For my iniquities are passed over my head, as a heavy burden are they too heavy for me.
Psa 38:5 (38:6) Foul, corrupt are my bruises because of my folly.
Psa 38:6 (38:7) I am bent double; I am bowed down to the utmost; all the day long I go about full of grief.
Psa 38:7 (38:8) For my loins are filled with a burning disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Psa 38:8 (38:9) I am made faint and crushed to the utmost; I cry aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
Psa 38:9 (38:10) Lord, before thee is all my longing; and my sighing is from thee not hidden.
Psa 38:10 (38:11) My heart is restless, my strength hath left me; and the light of my eyes––that also is no more with me.
Psa 38:11 (38:12) My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Psa 38:12 (38:13) ¶ They also that seek after my life lay snares; and they that wish for my mishap speak wicked falsehoods; and deceits do they devise all the day long.
Psa 38:13 (38:14) But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that cannot open his mouth.
Psa 38:14 (38:15) Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.
Psa 38:15 (38:16) For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Psa 38:16 (38:17) For I said, Perhaps they might rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they might magnify themselves over me.
Psa 38:17 (38:18) For I am prepared for [my] downfall, and my pain is continually before me.
Psa 38:18 (38:19) For I will tell of my iniquity; I will be grieved because of my sin.
Psa 38:19 (38:20) But my enemies are strong in life; and numerous are those that hate me wrongfully;
Psa 38:20 (38:21) They also that repay [me] evil in lieu of good; they hate me bitterly because I pursue what is good.
Psa 38:21 (38:22) Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
Psa 38:22 (38:23) Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
Psa 39:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, a psalm of David.> (39:2) I said, I will guard my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
Psa 39:2 (39:3) I was dumb in deep silence, I was quite still, even from [speaking] good; but my pain was greatly excited;
Psa 39:3 (39:4) My heart was hot within me, in my self–communing there burnt a fire: [then] spoke I with my tongue,
Psa 39:4 (39:5) Let me know, O Lord, my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I wish to know when I shall cease to be.
Psa 39:5 (39:6) Behold, measured out with the span hast thou made my days; and my whole duration is nothing before thee: yea, as nothing but vanity doth every man stand here. Selah.
Psa 39:6 (39:7) As nothing but a shadowy image doth man walk about, yea, for vanity only do all make a noise: he heapeth up his gains, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Psa 39:7 (39:8) ¶ And now, what shall I wait for, O Lord? my hope is in thee.
Psa 39:8 (39:9) From all my transgressions deliver thou me: render me not the object of reproach of the worthless.
Psa 39:9 (39:10) I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou hadst done it.
Psa 39:10 (39:11) Remove thou thy plague away from me: from the blows of thy hand am I consumed.
Psa 39:11 (39:12) When thou with corrections chastisest man for iniquity, thou causest his excellence to melt away as [if eaten by] the moth: yea, nothing but vanity is every man. Selah.
Psa 39:12 (39:13) Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears; for a stranger am I with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
Psa 39:13 (39:14) Leave off from me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and am no more.
Psa 40:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (40:2) I had waited patiently for the Lord, when he inclined himself unto me, and heard my cry.
Psa 40:2 (40:3) And he brought me up out of the noiseful deep, out of the miry clay, and he set up my feet upon a rock, making firm my steps.
Psa 40:3 (40:4) And he placed in my mouth a new song, a praise unto our God: many will see it, and fear; and they will trust in the Lord.
Psa 40:4 (40:5) Happy is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and turneth not unto the proud, nor such as stray aside unto lies.
Psa 40:5 (40:6) Many things hast thou done, O Lord my God; thy wonderful deeds and thy thoughts toward us––there is none to be compared unto thee––will I tell and speak of, [though] they are too numerous to be counted.
Psa 40:6 (40:7) ¶ Sacrifice and meat–offering thou desirest not––ears hast thou hollowed out unto me––burnt–offering and sin–offering thou demandest not.
Psa 40:7 (40:8) Then said I, Lo, I come: in the roll of the book it is written down for me;
Psa 40:8 (40:9) To fulfill thy will, O my God, do I desire; and thy law is within my heart.
Psa 40:9 (40:10) I announce [thy] righteousness in the great assembly: lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Lord, thou well knowest it.
Psa 40:10 (40:11) Thy righteousness have I never hidden within my heart; thy faithfulness and thy salvation have I spoken of openly: I have not concealed thy kindness and thy truth before the great assembly.
Psa 40:11 (40:12) ¶ Do thou, O Lord, not withhold thy mercies from me: let thy kindness and thy truth continually watch over me.
Psa 40:12 (40:13) For evils without number have compassed me about; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see: they are more numerous than the hairs of my head; and my courage hath forsaken me.
Psa 40:13 (40:14) Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, hasten to my help.
Psa 40:14 (40:15) May those be made ashamed and put to the blush together that seek after my soul to take her away: let them be driven backward and be confounded, that wish for my mishap.
Psa 40:15 (40:16) May they be astonished in consequence of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha!
Psa 40:16 (40:17) [But] may all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee: may they say continually, The Lord be magnified,––those that love thy salvation.
Psa 40:17 (40:18) But though I be poor and needy, the Lord will think of me: my help and my deliverer art thou: O my God, delay not.
Psa 41:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (41:2) Happy is he that careth for the poor: on the day of evil will the Lord deliver him.
Psa 41:2 (41:3) The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy on the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the revengeful desire of his enemies.
Psa 41:3 (41:4) The Lord will sustain him upon the bed of painful disease: thou changest all his couch in his sickness.
Psa 41:4 (41:5) I said, Lord, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Psa 41:5 (41:6) ¶ My enemies speak evil of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Psa 41:6 (41:7) And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsely: his heart gathereth wickedness to itself; he goeth abroad [and] speaketh it.
Psa 41:7 (41:8) Altogether whisper against me all that hate me: against me do they devise my injury.
Psa 41:8 (41:9) "His godless deed [say they] is poured out over him: as he lieth there he will never more rise up again."
Psa 41:9 (41:10) Yea, even the man that should have sought my welfare, in whom I trusted, who eateth my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Psa 41:10 (41:11) But thou, O Lord, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite it unto them.
Psa 41:11 (41:12) By this do I know that thou art pleased with me, that my enemy doth not triumph over me.
Psa 41:12 (41:13) But as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and placest me before thy presence for ever.
Psa 41:13 (41:14) Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Psa 42:1 SECOND BOOK: ¶ <To the chief musician, a Maskil, for the sons of Korach.> (42:2) As a hart panteth after brooks of water, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Psa 42:2 (42:3) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I go [again] and be seen in the presence of God?
Psa 42:3 (42:4) My tears have been my food day and night; because men say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:4 (42:5) These things will I remember, and pour out my soul in me: how I was wont to pass along amidst the multitude, journeying with them as a pilgrim to the house of God, with the voice of joyful song and thanksgiving, among the festive throng.
Psa 42:5 (42:6) Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and disquieted in me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, because of the salvation of his countenance.
Psa 42:6 (42:7) ¶ O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and from the peaks of Chermon, from the low mount.
Psa 42:7 (42:8) Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows have passed over me.
Psa 42:8 (42:9) In the daytime the Lord will command his kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, as a prayer unto the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 (42:10) I will say unto God, my rock, why hast thou forgotten me? why must I walk grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 42:10 (42:11) It is as death in my bones, when my assailants reproach me; when they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Psa 42:11 (42:12) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within met? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 43:1 ¶ Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: from the deceitful and unjust man do thou deliver me.
Psa 43:2 For thou art the God of my fortress: why hast thou abandoned me? why must I walk about grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 43:3 Send thou thy light and thy truth, these shall guide me; they shall bring me unto thy holy mountain, and to thy dwellings:
Psa 43:4 That I may go unto the altar of God, unto God the joy of my gladness; and that I may thank thee upon the harp, 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 thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 44:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, for the sons of Korach, a Maskil.> (44:2) O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, deeds which thou hadst done in their days, in times of old.
Psa 44:2 (44:3) Thou, with thy hand, didst indeed drive out nations, and plant them; thou didst ill–treat people, and cause them to spread out.
Psa 44:3 (44:4) For not by their sword did they obtain possession of the land, and their own arm brought them no victory; but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst given them thy favor.
Psa 44:4 (44:5) Thou art my King, O God: ordain salvation for Jacob.
Psa 44:5 (44:6) Through thee will we butt down our assailants: through thy name will we tread under foot our opponents.
Psa 44:6 (44:7) For not in my bow will I trust, and my sword shall not help me.
Psa 44:7 (44:8) But thou helpest us against our assailants, and those that hate us thou puttest to shame.
Psa 44:8 (44:9) Of God we boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. Selah.
Psa 44:9 (44:10) ¶ But [now] thou hast cast off, and put us to the blush, and goest not forth with our armies.
Psa 44:10 (44:11) Thou causest us to turn back from before our assailant: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
Psa 44:11 (44:12) Thou givest us up like sheep for food, and among the nations hast thou dispersed us.
Psa 44:12 (44:13) Thou sellest thy people for no value, and acquirest no gain by their price.
Psa 44:13 (44:14) Thou renderest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
Psa 44:14 (44:15) Thou renderest us a by–word among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.
Psa 44:15 (44:16) All the day is my disgrace before me, and the shame of my face covereth me;
Psa 44:16 (44:17) Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.
Psa 44:17 (44:18) ¶ All this is come over us, yet have we not forgotten thee; nor have we dealt falsely by thy covenant;
Psa 44:18 (44:19) Our heart is not moved backward, nor hath our step turned aside from thy path:
Psa 44:19 (44:20) Even when thou didst crush us in the abode of monsters, and cover us with the shadow of death.
Psa 44:20 (44:21) If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange God:
Psa 44:21 (44:22) Would not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 (44:23) But for thy sake are we slain all the day; we are counted as flocks [destined] for slaughter.
Psa 44:23 (44:24) Awake, wherefore wilt thou sleep, O Lord? arise, abandon us not for ever.
Psa 44:24 (44:25) Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, wilt thou forget our misery, and our oppression?
Psa 44:25 (44:26) For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaveth unto the earth.
Psa 44:26 (44:27) Arise unto our help, and redeem us for the sake of thy kindness.
Psa 45:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, by the sons of Korach, a Maskil, a song of love.> (45:2) My heart swelleth with a good speech; I say, "My works shall be for the king:" my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Psa 45:2 (45:3) Thou art more fair than the children of men; grace is poured out over thy lips: therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
Psa 45:3 (45:4) Gird thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty one, [it is] thy glory and thy majesty;
Psa 45:4 (45:5) Yea, it is thy majesty: be prosperous, ride along for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; and fearful things shall thy right hand teach thee.
Psa 45:5 (45:6) Thy sharpened arrows––people will fall down beneath thee––[will enter] into the heart of the king’s enemies.
Psa 45:6 (45:7) ¶ Thy throne, given of God, endureth for ever and ever: the sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Psa 45:7 (45:8) Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy associates.
Psa 45:8 (45:9) Of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are [fragrant] all thy garments: out of palaces of ivory have they made thee joyful with the sound of music.
Psa 45:9 (45:10) Kings’ daughters are among those dear to thee: the queen standeth on thy right hand in fine gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 (45:11) ¶ Hearken, O daughter, and look, and incline thy ear, and forget thy own people, and thy father’s house:
Psa 45:11 (45:12) Then will the king long for thy beauty; for he is thy Lord; and bow thyself to him.
Psa 45:12 (45:13) And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift: the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
Psa 45:13 (45:14) All gloriously attired awaiteth the king’s daughter in the inner chamber: of wrought gold is her garment.
Psa 45:14 (45:15) In embroidered clothes will she be brought unto the king: virgins that follow her, her companions, are brought unto thee.
Psa 45:15 (45:16) They are led forth with rejoicings and gladness, they enter into the palace of the king.
Psa 45:16 (45:17) Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children: thou wilt appoint them as princes in all the land.
Psa 45:17 (45:18) I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
Psa 46:1 ¶ <To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon ‘Alamoth, a song.> (46:2) God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
Psa 46:2 (46:3) Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
Psa 46:3 (46:4) [When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. Selah.
Psa 46:4 (46:5) [There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
Psa 46:5 (46:6) God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
Psa 46:6 (46:7) ¶ Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
Psa 46:7 (46:8) The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
Psa 46:8 (46:9) Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
Psa 46:9 (46:10) He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
Psa 46:10 (46:11) Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.
Psa 46:11 (46:12) The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. Selah.
Psa 47:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach.> (47:2) All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
Psa 47:2 (47:3) For the Lord is most high, fear–inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth.
Psa 47:3 (47:4) He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4 (47:5) He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. Selah.
Psa 47:5 (47:6) ¶ God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.
Psa 47:6 (47:7) Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
Psa 47:7 (47:8) For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
Psa 47:8 (47:9) God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.
Psa 47:9 (47:10) The nobles of the people are gathered together, [to be with] the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
Psa 48:1 ¶ <A song and psalm by the sons of Korach.> (48:2) Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.
Psa 48:2 (48:3) A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.
Psa 48:3 (48:4) God is become known in her palaces as a defence.
Psa 48:4 (48:5) For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.
Psa 48:5 (48:6) They indeed saw––[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.
Psa 48:6 (48:7) Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.
Psa 48:7 (48:8) With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.
Psa 48:8 (48:9) ¶ As we have heard, so have we seen [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
Psa 48:9 (48:10) We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Psa 48:10 (48:11) As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
Psa 48:11 (48:12) Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Psa 48:12 (48:13) Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.
Psa 48:13 (48:14) Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.
Psa 48:14 (48:15) For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Psa 49:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.> (49:2) Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the perishable world:
Psa 49:2 (49:3) Both the sons of the low and the sons of the high, rich and needy, altogether.
Psa 49:3 (49:4) My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Psa 49:4 (49:5) I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open with the harp my riddle.
Psa 49:5 (49:6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my oppressors encompasseth me?––
Psa 49:6 (49:7) ¶ Of those that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves of the multitude of their riches?
Psa 49:7 (49:8) No one can in any wise redeem his brother, nor can he give to God redemption money for himself;
Psa 49:8 (49:9) For the ransom of their soul is too costly, and it is omitted for ever.
Psa 49:9 (49:10) And should he still live for ever? not see the pit?
Psa 49:10 (49:11) For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth.
Psa 49:11 (49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling–places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in [various] countries.
Psa 49:12 (49:13) Nevertheless man in [his] splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
Psa 49:13 (49:14) This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. Selah.
Psa 49:14 (49:15) Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, [taken away] from their own dwelling.
Psa 49:15 (49:16) ¶ But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether world; for he will take me away. Selah.
Psa 49:16 (49:17) Be not thou afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
Psa 49:17 (49:18) For when he dieth he can take nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.
Psa 49:18 (49:19) For though he bless his soul during his life, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself:
Psa 49:19 (49:20) She shall go to the generation of his fathers, unto eternity will these never see light.
Psa 49:20 (49:21) Man, though in splendor, who understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
Psa 50:1 ¶ <A psalm of Assaph.> The God of gods, the Lord, speaketh, and calleth the earth, from the rising of the sun unto his setting.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
Psa 50:3 Our God is coming, and will not keep silence: a fire devoureth before him, and round him there rageth a mighty storm.
Psa 50:4 He will call to the heavens above, and to the earth, to judge his people.
Psa 50:5 "Gather together unto me my pious servants, who make a covenant with me by sacrifice."
Psa 50:6 And the heavens tell of his righteousness; for God is judge himself. Selah.
Psa 50:7 ¶ "Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
Psa 50:8 Not because of thy sacrifices will I reprove thee; and thy burnt–offerings are continually before me.
Psa 50:9 I will not take a bullock out of thy house, nor he–goats out of thy folds.
Psa 50:10 For mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.
Psa 50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: whatever moveth on the fields is with me.
Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.
Psa 50:13 Do I eat the flesh of fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he–goats?
Psa 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;
Psa 50:15 And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee,–– and so wilt thou glorify me."
Psa 50:16 ¶ But unto the wicked God saith, "What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?
Psa 50:17 And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
Psa 50:18 When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.
Psa 50:19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth with evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Psa 50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; against thy own mother’s son thou utterest slander.
Psa 50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou didst ween that I am like thyself; [but] I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thy eyes."
Psa 50:22 Do but reflect on this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, with none to deliver.
Psa 50:23 Whoso offereth thanksgiving glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his course aright, will I show the salvation of God.
Psa 51:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David, (51:2) When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath–sheba’.> (51:3) Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy mercies blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2 (51:4) Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Psa 51:3 (51:5) For of my transgressions I have full knowledge; and my sin is before me continually.
Psa 51:4 (51:6) To thee, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done:––in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified when thou judgest.
Psa 51:5 (51:7) Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 (51:8) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses [of the heart].
Psa 51:7 (51:9) ¶ Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 (51:10) Cause me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Psa 51:9 (51:11) Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.
Psa 51:10 (51:12) Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou within me.
Psa 51:11 (51:13) Cast me not away from thy presence; and thy holy spirit do not take from me.
Psa 51:12 (51:14) Restore unto me the gladness of thy salvation; and with a liberal spirit do thou support me.––
Psa 51:13 (51:15) I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
Psa 51:14 (51:16) ¶ Deliver me from blood–guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [that] my tongue may sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15 (51:17) O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Psa 51:16 (51:18) For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: in burnt–offering hast thou no delight.
Psa 51:17 (51:19) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, wilt thou not despise.
Psa 51:18 (51:20) Do good in thy favor unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Psa 51:19 (51:21) Then wilt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt–offering and entire offering: then shall bullocks be offered upon thy altar.
Psa 52:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a Maskil of David, (52:2) When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Achimelech.> (52:3) What vauntest thou thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? the kindness of God endureth all the time.
Psa 52:2 (52:4) Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs, like a sharpened razor, thou worker of deceit.
Psa 52:3 (52:5) Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood more than speaking righteousness. Selah.
Psa 52:4 (52:6) Thou lovest all words of destruction, the tongue of deceit.
Psa 52:5 (52:7) [Therefore] God will also destroy thee for ever: he will take thee away, and pluck thee out of his tent, and root thee out of the land of life. Selah.––
Psa 52:6 (52:8) ¶ And the righteous shall see it, and they will be afraid, and laugh concerning him:
Psa 52:7 (52:9) "Lo, this is the man that made not God his fortress; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, relied proudly on his mischievous wickedness."
Psa 52:8 (52:10) But I am like a green olive–tree in the house of God: I trust in the kindness of God for ever and ever.
Psa 52:9 (52:11) I will thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for [it is] good, before thy pious ones.
Psa 53:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.> (53:2) The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth good.
Psa 53:2 (53:3) God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.
Psa 53:3 (53:4) Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not one.
Psa 53:4 (53:5) Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on God.
Psa 53:5 (53:6) There were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected them.
Psa 53:6 (53:7) Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.
Psa 54:1 ¶ <To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, (54:2) When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.> (54:3) O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.
Psa 54:2 (54:4) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Psa 54:3 (54:5) For strangers [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
Psa 54:4 (54:6) ¶ Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.
Psa 54:5 (54:7) He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.
Psa 54:6 (54:8) I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
Psa 54:7 (54:9) For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.
Psa 55:1 ¶ <To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David.> (55:2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Psa 55:2 (55:3) Listen unto me, and answer me: I mourn in my grief, and moan;
Psa 55:3 (55:4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast wrong upon me, and in wrath they attack me.
Psa 55:4 (55:5) My heart is sorely pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Psa 55:5 (55:6) Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and shuddering hath covered me.
Psa 55:6 (55:7) And I said, Oh that some one would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and dwell [quietly].
Psa 55:7 (55:8) Lo, I would flee far away, I would spend my night in the wilderness. Selah.
Psa 55:8 (55:9) I would prepare hastily a refuge for me from the sweeping wind [and] from storm.
Psa 55:9 (55:10) ¶ Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city;
Psa 55:10 (55:11) Day and night do these encompass it upon her walls: and wrong and trouble are in her midst.
Psa 55:11 (55:12) Mischief is in her midst: guile and deceit depart not from her streets.
Psa 55:12 (55:13) For it is not an enemy that reproached me; then I could bear it: not he that hateth me hath magnified himself against me; then I would have hidden myself from him;
Psa 55:13 (55:14) But it is thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance;
Psa 55:14 (55:15) So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.
Psa 55:15 (55:16) Let him dispense death over them; let them go down alive into the nether world; for evil is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
Psa 55:16 (55:17) ¶ I, however, will call on God: and the Lord will save me.
Psa 55:17 (55:18) At evening and morning and noon will I make my complaint and moan: and he heareth my voice.––
Psa 55:18 (55:19) He delivereth my soul in peace from the battle against me; for in multitudes are they [contending] with me.
Psa 55:19 (55:20) God will hear, and humble them––yea, he that sitteth enthroned from the oldest time Selah––those who dread no changes, and fear not God.
Psa 55:20 (55:21) He stretcheth out his hands against those at peace with him: he violateth his covenant.
Psa 55:21 (55:22) The creamy words of his mouth are smooth, yet there is war [in] his heart; his words are softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
Psa 55:22 (55:23) Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psa 55:23 (55:24) But thou, O God, thou wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: let not the men of blood and deceit live out half their days; but I will indeed trust in thee.
Psa 56:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Jonath–elem–rechokim, by David, a Michtham, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.> (56:2) Be gracious unto me, O God; for man longeth to swallow me up; all the time he oppresseth me fighting.
Psa 56:2 (56:3) Those that regard me with envy long to swallow [me] up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High.
Psa 56:3 (56:4) The day [when] I am afraid, I will still trust in thee.
Psa 56:4 (56:5) In God will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?
Psa 56:5 (56:6) All the day they wrest my words: against me are all their thoughts for evil.
Psa 56:6 (56:7) They come together in troops, they hide themselves, they are those that watch my heels, as though they hoped [to take] my soul.
Psa 56:7 (56:8) Because of their wrong–doing let me escape from them: in anger cast down the people, O God.
Psa 56:8 (56:9) ¶ My wanderings hast thou well numbered: put thou my tears into thy bottle; behold, they are numbered by thee.
Psa 56:9 (56:10) Then shall my enemies retire backward on the day when I call [on thee]: this I know––that God is for me.
Psa 56:10 (56:11) In God will I praise the word: in the Lord will I praise the word.
Psa 56:11 (56:12) In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can man do unto me?
Psa 56:12 (56:13) Upon me, O God, [rest] thy vows: I will pay thanksgiving offerings unto thee.
Psa 56:13 (56:14) For thou hast delivered my soul from death––yea, behold, my feet from slipping, that I may walk before God in the light of the life.
Psa 57:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, Al–tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.> (57:2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for in thee my soul seeketh protection, and under the shadow of thy wings will I seek protection, until the mischief be passed away.
Psa 57:2 (57:3) I will call unto God, the Most High; unto God that accomplisheth [his kindness] on me.
Psa 57:3 (57:4) He will send from heaven, and save me, though he that longeth to swallow me up utter reproach. Selah. God will send forth his kindness and his truth.
Psa 57:4 (57:5) My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [in the midst of] those that send out flames, [those] sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharpened sword.
Psa 57:5 (57:6) Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
Psa 57:6 (57:7) A net have they prepared for my steps; my soul hath been bent down; they have dug before me a pit; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.
Psa 57:7 (57:8) ¶ Firm is my heart, O God, firm is my heart: I will sing and play.
Psa 57:8 (57:9) Awake, my spirit; awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning–dawn.
Psa 57:9 (57:10) I will thank thee among the people, O Lord: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Psa 57:10 (57:11) For great, even unto the heavens, is thy kindness, and even unto the skies [extendeth] thy truth.
Psa 57:11 (57:12) Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: above all the earth let thy glory be.
Psa 58:1 ¶ <To the chief musician Al–tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.> (58:2) Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
Psa 58:2 (58:3) Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
Psa 58:3 (58:4) The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
Psa 58:4 (58:5) They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Psa 58:5 (58:6) Which will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
Psa 58:6 (58:7) ¶ O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw–teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
Psa 58:7 (58:8) Let them melt away as water [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if cut in pieces.
Psa 58:8 (58:9) As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen the sun.
Psa 58:9 (58:10) Before your pots can feel the thorns, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
Psa 58:10 (58:11) The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps in the blood of the wicked.
Psa 58:11 (58:12) So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
Psa 59:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, Al–tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.> (59:2) Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Psa 59:2 (59:3) Deliver me from the workers of wickedness, and from men of blood do thou save me.
Psa 59:3 (59:4) For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul, the mighty are gathered in troops against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
Psa 59:4 (59:5) Without guilt [in me] they run and make themselves ready: awake, [come] toward me, and behold.
Psa 59:5 (59:6) And thou, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not gracious to any treacherous wicked one. Selah.
Psa 59:6 (59:7) They will return at evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
Psa 59:7 (59:8) Behold, they sputter with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, [say they,] doth hear?
Psa 59:8 (59:9) ¶ But thou, O Lord, wilt laugh at theme: thou wilt hold in derision all the nations.
Psa 59:9 (59:10) Because of [the enemy’s] strength will I wait upon thee; for God is my defence.
Psa 59:10 (59:11) The God who showeth me kindness will go before me: God will let me see [my desire] upon those who regard me with envy.
Psa 59:11 (59:12) Slay them not, that my people may not forget: drive them about by thy power; and bring them down, thou our shield, O Lord.
Psa 59:12 (59:13) The sin of their mouth is the word of their lips: let them be caught through their pride, because of the cursing and lying which they relate.
Psa 59:13 (59:14) Make an end in fury, make an end [of them], that they my be no more, and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, as far as the ends of the earth. Selah.
Psa 59:14 (59:15) And they will return in the evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
Psa 59:15 (59:16) They will indeed roam about after something to eat, if they be not satisfied, so that they can be at rest.
Psa 59:16 (59:17) But I will truly sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing joyfully in the morning of thy kindness; for thou hast been a defence unto me and a refuge on the day when I was distressed.
Psa 59:17 (59:18) Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defence, the God of my kindness.
Psa 60:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Shushan’eduth, a Michtham of David, to teach, (60:2) When he fought with Aram–naharayim, and with Aram–zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Salt Valley twelve thousand [men].> (60:3) O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast made a breach in us, thou hast been displeased: restore now unto us [thy favor].
Psa 60:2 (60:4) Thou hast caused the earth to quake; thou hast split it: heal her breaches; for she is moved.
Psa 60:3 (60:5) Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of confusion.
Psa 60:4 (60:6) Thou hast given to those that fear thee a banner, to elevate themselves, because of the truth. Selah.
Psa 60:5 (60:7) In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
Psa 60:6 (60:8) ¶ God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
Psa 60:7 (60:9) Mine is Gil’ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong–hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs;
Psa 60:8 (60:10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou but over me.
Psa 60:9 (60:11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?
Psa 60:10 (60:12) Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
Psa 60:11 (60:13) Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
Psa 60:12 (60:14) Through God shall we do valiantly: and he it is that will tread down our assailants.
Psa 61:1 ¶ <To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.> (61:2) Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to my prayer.
Psa 61:2 (61:3) From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.
Psa 61:3 (61:4) For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.
Psa 61:4 (61:5) Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Psa 61:5 (61:6) ¶ For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Psa 61:6 (61:7) Oh, add days unto the king’s days: may his years be as of many generations.
Psa 61:7 (61:8) May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.
Psa 61:8 (61:9) So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
Psa 62:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.> (62:2) Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.
Psa 62:2 (62:3) Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall not be greatly moved.
Psa 62:3 (62:4) How long will ye devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, a tottering fence?
Psa 62:4 (62:5) Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. Selah.
Psa 62:5 (62:6) Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.
Psa 62:6 (62:7) Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: I shall not be moved.
Psa 62:7 (62:8) With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are in God.
Psa 62:8 (62:9) ¶ Trust in him at all times, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. Selah.
Psa 62:9 (62:10) Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.
Psa 62:10 (62:11) Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].
Psa 62:11 (62:12) Once hath God spoken; [yea,] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.
Psa 62:12 (62:13) And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
Psa 63:1 ¶ <A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.> (63:2) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry land, and it is faint without water.
Psa 63:2 (63:3) As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
Psa 63:3 (63:4) ¶ Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
Psa 63:4 (63:5) Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
Psa 63:5 (63:6) As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
Psa 63:6 (63:7) When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night–watches.
Psa 63:7 (63:8) ¶ Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
Psa 63:8 (63:9) My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
Psa 63:9 (63:10) But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
Psa 63:10 (63:11) They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
Psa 63:11 (63:12) But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.
Psa 64:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm of David.> (64:2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.
Psa 64:2 (64:3) Hide me from the secret counsel of evil–doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;
Psa 64:3 (64:4) Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:
Psa 64:4 (64:5) To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
Psa 64:5 (64:6) They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?
Psa 64:6 (64:7) They search out iniquities; "We are ready with the carefully searched out device:" and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].
Psa 64:7 (64:8) ¶ But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; ––[thence] are come their wounds.
Psa 64:8 (64:9) And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.
Psa 64:9 (64:10) All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.
Psa 64:10 (64:11) The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
Psa 65:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a psalm [and] song of David.> (65:2) For thee praise is waiting, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall vows be paid.
Psa 65:2 (65:3) O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee all flesh shall come.
Psa 65:3 (65:4) The iniquitous things have become too mighty for me: our transgressions––these wilt thou wipe away.
Psa 65:4 (65:5) Happy is he whom thou choosest, and causest to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts: let us be satisfied with the happiness of thy house, the holiness of thy temple.
Psa 65:5 (65:6) With terrific deeds in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the sea, that are far away;
Psa 65:6 (65:7) ¶ Who setteth firmly the mountains by his power, who is girded with might;
Psa 65:7 (65:8) Who assuageth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of nations.
Psa 65:8 (65:9) And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid of thy wondrous signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening thou causest to rejoice.
Psa 65:9 (65:10) Thou hast thought of the earth, and waterest her abundantly; thou greatly enrichest her; the brook of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, when thou hast thus prepared her.
Psa 65:10 (65:11) Watering her furrows abundantly, smoothing down her ridges, thou softenest her with showers; thou blessest her growth.
Psa 65:11 (65:12) Thou hast crowned the year of thy goodness; and thy tracks drop fatness:
Psa 65:12 (65:13) The pastures of the wilderness are dropping [with plenty]: and the hills are girt with gladness.
Psa 65:13 (65:14) The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are enveloped with corn: men shout for joy, [yea,] they also sing.
Psa 66:1 ¶ <To the chief musician, a song or psalm.> Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:
Psa 66
