Psalm 50 |
|
50:1 | A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. |
50:2 | Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. |
50:3 | Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. |
50:4 | He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. |
50:5 | Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. |
50:6 | And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. |
50:7 | Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. |
50:8 | I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. |
50:9 | I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. |
50:10 | For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. |
50:11 | I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. |
50:12 | If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. |
50:13 | Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? |
50:14 | Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: |
50:15 | And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. |
50:16 | But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? |
50:17 | Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. |
50:18 | When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. |
50:19 | Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. |
50:20 | Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. |
50:21 | These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. |
50:22 | Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. |
50:23 | Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God. |
Psalm 51 |
|
51:1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. |
51:2 | Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. |
51:3 | For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. |
51:4 | Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. |
51:5 | Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
51:6 | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. |
51:7 | Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
51:8 | Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. |
51:9 | Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. |
51:10 | Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. |
51:11 | Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. |
51:12 | Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. |
51:13 | Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
51:14 | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. |
51:15 | O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
51:16 | For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. |
51:17 | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
51:18 | Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. |
51:19 | Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. |
Psalm 55 |
|
55:1 | To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. |
55:2 | Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; |
55:3 | Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. |
55:4 | My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. |
55:5 | Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. |
55:6 | And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. |
55:7 | Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. |
55:8 | I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. |
55:9 | Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. |
55:10 | Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. |
55:11 | Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. |
55:12 | For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: |
55:13 | But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. |
55:14 | We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. |
55:15 | Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. |
55:16 | As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. |
55:17 | Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. |
55:18 | He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. |
55:19 | God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. |
55:20 | He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. |
55:21 | The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. |
55:22 | Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. |
55:23 | But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. |
Psalm 59 |
|
59:1 | To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. |
59:2 | Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. |
59:3 | For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. |
59:4 | They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. |
59:5 | Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. |
59:6 | They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
59:7 | Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? |
59:8 | But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. |
59:9 | Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. |
59:10 | The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. |
59:11 | Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
59:12 | For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. |
59:13 | Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. |
59:14 | And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. |
59:15 | Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. |
59:16 | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. |
59:17 | Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. |
Psalm 66 |
|
66:1 | To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: |
66:2 | Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. |
66:3 | Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. |
66:4 | All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. |
66:5 | Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. |
66:6 | He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. |
66:7 | He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
66:8 | O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: |
66:9 | Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. |
66:10 | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. |
66:11 | Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. |
66:12 | Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. |
66:13 | I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, |
66:14 | Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. |
66:15 | I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. |
66:16 | Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. |
66:17 | I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
66:18 | If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: |
66:19 | But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. |
66:20 | Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. |
Psalm 68 |
|
68:1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. |
68:2 | As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. |
68:3 | But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. |
68:4 | Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. |
68:5 | A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. |
68:6 | God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. |
68:7 | O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: |
68:8 | The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. |
68:9 | Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. |
68:10 | Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. |
68:11 | The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. |
68:12 | Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. |
68:13 | Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. |
68:14 | When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. |
68:15 | The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. |
68:16 | Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. |
68:17 | The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. |
68:18 | Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. |
68:19 | Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. |
68:20 | He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. |
68:21 | But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. |
68:22 | The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: |
68:23 | That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. |
68:24 | They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. |
68:25 | The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. |
68:26 | Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. |
68:27 | There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. |
68:28 | Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. |
68:29 | Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. |
68:30 | Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. |
68:31 | Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. |
68:32 | Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: |
68:33 | To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. |
68:34 | Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. |
68:35 | O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. |
Psalm 69 |
|
69:1 | To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. |
69:2 | I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. |
69:3 | I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. |
69:4 | They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. |
69:5 | O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. |
69:6 | Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. |
69:7 | Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. |
69:8 | I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. |
69:9 | For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. |
69:10 | When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. |
69:11 | I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. |
69:12 | They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. |
69:13 | But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. |
69:14 | Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. |
69:15 | Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. |
69:16 | Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. |
69:17 | And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. |
69:18 | Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. |
69:19 | Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. |
69:20 | Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. |
69:21 | They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. |
69:22 | Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. |
69:23 | Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. |
69:24 | Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. |
69:25 | Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. |
69:26 | For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. |
69:27 | Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. |
69:28 | Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. |
69:29 | But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. |
69:30 | I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. |
69:31 | This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. |
69:32 | The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. |
69:33 | For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. |
69:34 | Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. |
69:35 | For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. |
69:36 | The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. |
Psalm 71 |
|
71:1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. |
71:2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
71:3 | Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. |
71:4 | Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
71:5 | For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. |
71:6 | By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. |
71:7 | I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
71:8 | Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. |
71:9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. |
71:10 | For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, |
71:11 | Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. |
71:12 | O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. |
71:13 | Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. |
71:14 | But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. |
71:15 | My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
71:16 | I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. |
71:17 | O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. |
71:18 | Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. |
71:19 | Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! |
71:20 | Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
71:21 | Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. |
71:22 | I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. |
71:23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
71:24 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. |
Psalm 72 |
|
72:1 | A Psalm for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. |
72:2 | He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. |
72:3 | The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. |
72:4 | He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. |
72:5 | They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. |
72:6 | He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. |
72:7 | In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. |
72:8 | He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. |
72:9 | They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. |
72:10 | The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. |
72:11 | Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. |
72:12 | For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. |
72:13 | He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. |
72:14 | He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. |
72:15 | And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. |
72:16 | There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. |
72:17 | His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. |
72:18 | Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. |
72:19 | And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. |
72:20 | The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. |
Psalm 73 |
|
73:1 | A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. |
73:2 | But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. |
73:3 | For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
73:4 | For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. |
73:5 | They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. |
73:6 | Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. |
73:7 | Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. |
73:8 | They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. |
73:9 | They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
73:10 | Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. |
73:11 | And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? |
73:12 | Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. |
73:13 | Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. |
73:14 | For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. |
73:15 | If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. |
73:16 | When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; |
73:17 | Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. |
73:18 | Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. |
73:19 | How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. |
73:20 | As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. |
73:21 | Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. |
73:22 | So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. |
73:23 | Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. |
73:24 | Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. |
73:25 | Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. |
73:26 | My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. |
73:27 | For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. |
73:28 | But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. |
Psalm 74 |
|
74:1 | Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? |
74:2 | Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. |
74:3 | Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. |
74:4 | Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. |
74:5 | A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. |
74:6 | But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. |
74:7 | They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. |
74:8 | They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. |
74:9 | We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. |
74:10 | O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? |
74:11 | Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. |
74:12 | For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. |
74:13 | Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. |
74:14 | Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. |
74:15 | Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. |
74:16 | The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. |
74:17 | Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. |
74:18 | Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. |
74:19 | O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. |
74:20 | Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. |
74:21 | O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. |
74:22 | Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. |
74:23 | Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. |
Psalm 77 |
|
77:1 | To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. |
77:2 | In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. |
77:3 | I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. |
77:4 | Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. |
77:5 | I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. |
77:6 | I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. |
77:7 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? |
77:8 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? |
77:9 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. |
77:10 | And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. |
77:11 | I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. |
77:12 | I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. |
77:13 | Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? |
77:14 | Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. |
77:15 | Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. |
77:16 | The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. |
77:17 | The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. |
77:18 | The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. |
77:19 | Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. |
77:20 | Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. |
Psalm 78 |
|
78:1 | Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. |
78:2 | I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: |
78:3 | Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. |
78:4 | We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. |
78:5 | For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: |
78:6 | That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: |
78:7 | That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: |
78:8 | And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. |
78:9 | The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. |
78:10 | They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; |
78:11 | And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had showed them. |
78:12 | Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. |
78:13 | He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. |
78:14 | In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. |
78:15 | He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. |
78:16 | He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. |
78:17 | And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. |
78:18 | And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. |
78:19 | Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? |
78:20 | Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? |
78:21 | Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; |
78:22 | Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: |
78:23 | Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, |
78:24 | And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. |
78:25 | Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. |
78:26 | He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. |
78:27 | He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: |
78:28 | And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. |
78:29 | So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; |
78:30 | They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, |
78:31 | The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. |
78:32 | For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. |
78:33 | Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. |
78:34 | When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. |
78:35 | And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. |
78:36 | Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. |
78:37 | For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. |
78:38 | But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. |
78:39 | For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. |
78:40 | How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! |
78:41 | Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. |
78:42 | They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. |
78:43 | How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: |
78:44 | And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. |
78:45 | He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. |
78:46 | He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust. |
78:47 | He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost. |
78:48 | He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. |
78:49 | He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. |
78:50 | He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; |
78:51 | And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: |
78:52 | But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. |
78:53 | And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. |
78:54 | And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. |
78:55 | He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. |
78:56 | Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: |
78:57 | But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. |
78:58 | For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. |
78:59 | When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: |
78:60 | So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; |
78:61 | And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. |
78:62 | He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. |
78:63 | The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. |
78:64 | Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. |
78:65 | Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. |
78:66 | And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. |
78:67 | Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: |
78:68 | But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. |
78:69 | And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. |
78:70 | He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: |
78:71 | From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. |
78:72 | So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. |
Psalm 80 |
|
80:1 | To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. |
80:2 | Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
80:3 | Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
80:4 | O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
80:5 | Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
80:6 | Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
80:7 | Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
80:8 | Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
80:9 | Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. |
80:10 | The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. |
80:11 | She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. |
80:12 | Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? |
80:13 | The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. |
80:14 | Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; |
80:15 | And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. |
80:16 | It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
80:17 | Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. |
80:18 | So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. |
80:19 | Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
Psalm 81 |
|
81:1 | To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. |
81:2 | Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. |
81:3 | Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. |
81:4 | For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. |
81:5 | This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. |
81:6 | I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. |
81:7 | Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. |
81:8 | Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; |
81:9 | There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. |
81:10 | I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. |
81:11 | But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. |
81:12 | So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. |
81:13 | Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! |
81:14 | I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. |
81:15 | The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. |
81:16 | He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. |
Psalm 83 |
|
83:1 | A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
83:2 | For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
83:3 | They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
83:4 | They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
83:5 | For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: |
83:6 | The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
83:7 | Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
83:8 | Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
83:9 | Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
83:10 | Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. |
83:11 | Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
83:12 | Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
83:13 | O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. |
83:14 | As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; |
83:15 | So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
83:16 | Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
83:17 | Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: |
83:18 | That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. |
Psalm 86 |
|
86:1 | A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. |
86:2 | Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
86:3 | Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. |
86:4 | Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
86:5 | For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. |
86:6 | Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. |
86:7 | In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. |
86:8 | Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. |
86:9 | All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. |
86:10 | For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. |
86:11 | Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. |
86:12 | I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
86:13 | For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. |
86:14 | O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. |
86:15 | But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. |
86:16 | O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. |
86:17 | Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. |
Psalm 88 |
|
88:1 | A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: |
88:2 | Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; |
88:3 | For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. |
88:4 | I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: |
88:5 | Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. |
88:6 | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. |
88:7 | Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. |
88:8 | Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. |
88:9 | Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. |
88:10 | Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. |
88:11 | Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? |
88:12 | Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? |
88:13 | But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. |
88:14 | LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? |
88:15 | I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. |
88:16 | Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. |
88:17 | They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. |
88:18 | Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. |
Psalm 89 |
|
89:1 | Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. |
89:2 | For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. |
89:3 | I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, |
89:4 | Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. |
89:5 | And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. |
89:6 | For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? |
89:7 | God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. |
89:8 | O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? |
89:9 | Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. |
89:10 | Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. |
89:11 | The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
89:12 | The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. |
89:13 | Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
89:14 | Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. |
89:15 | Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. |
89:16 | In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. |
89:17 | For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. |
89:18 | For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. |
89:19 | Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. |
89:20 | I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: |
89:21 | With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. |
89:22 | The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
89:23 | And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. |
89:24 | But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
89:25 | I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. |
89:26 | He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. |
89:27 | Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. |
89:28 | My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. |
89:29 | His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. |
89:30 | If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; |
89:31 | If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
89:32 | Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. |
89:33 | Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
89:34 | My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
89:35 | Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. |
89:36 | His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. |
89:37 | It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. |
89:38 | But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. |
89:39 | Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. |
89:40 | Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. |
89:41 | All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. |
89:42 | Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. |
89:43 | Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. |
89:44 | Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. |
89:45 | The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. |
89:46 | How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
89:47 | Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? |
89:48 | What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. |
89:49 | Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? |
89:50 | Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; |
89:51 | Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
89:52 | Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
Psalm 90 |
|
90:1 | A Prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. |
90:2 | Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. |
90:3 | Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. |
90:4 | For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
90:5 | Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. |
90:6 | In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. |
90:7 | For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. |
90:8 | Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. |
90:9 | For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. |
90:10 | The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. |
90:11 | Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. |
90:12 | So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. |
90:13 | Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. |
90:14 | O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. |
90:15 | Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. |
90:16 | Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. |
90:17 | And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. |
Psalm 91 |
|
91:1 | He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
91:2 | I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. |
91:3 | Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. |
91:4 | He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. |
91:5 | Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; |
91:6 | Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. |
91:7 | A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. |
91:8 | Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. |
91:9 | Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; |
91:10 | There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. |
91:11 | For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. |
91:12 | They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. |
91:13 | Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. |
91:14 | Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. |
91:15 | He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. |
91:16 | With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. |
Psalm 92 |
|
92:1 | A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: |
92:2 | To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
92:3 | Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
92:4 | For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
92:5 | O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
92:6 | A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
92:7 | When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
92:8 | But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
92:9 | For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
92:10 | But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
92:11 | Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. |
92:12 | The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
92:13 | Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
92:14 | They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
92:15 | To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
Psalm 94 |
|
94:1 | O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. |
94:2 | Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
94:3 | LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
94:4 | How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
94:5 | They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. |
94:6 | They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
94:7 | Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. |
94:8 | Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
94:9 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
94:10 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
94:11 | The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
94:12 | Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; |
94:13 | That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. |
94:14 | For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
94:15 | But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
94:16 | Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
94:17 | Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
94:18 | When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. |
94:19 | In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. |
94:20 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? |
94:21 | They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
94:22 | But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. |
94:23 | And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. |
