Psalms Chapters 101
101:1 | I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. |
101:2 | I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. |
101:3 | I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. |
101:4 | A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. |
101:5 | Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. |
101:6 | Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. |
101:7 | He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. |
101:8 | I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. |

Psalms Chapter 102
102:1 | Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. |
102:2 | Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. |
102:3 | For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. |
102:4 | My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. |
102:5 | By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. |
102:6 | I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. |
102:7 | I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. |
102:8 | Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. |
102:9 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. |
102:10 | Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. |
102:11 | My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. |
102:12 | But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. |
102:13 | Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. |
102:14 | For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. |
102:15 | So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. |
102:16 | When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. |
102:17 | He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. |
102:18 | This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. |
102:19 | For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; |
102:20 | To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; |
102:21 | To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; |
102:22 | When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. |
102:23 | He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. |
102:24 | I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. |
102:25 | Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. |
102:26 | They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: |
102:27 | But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. |
102:28 | The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. |

Psalms Chapter 103
103:1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. |
103:2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: |
103:3 | Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; |
103:4 | Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; |
103:5 | Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. |
103:6 | The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. |
103:7 | He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. |
103:8 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. |
103:9 | He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. |
103:10 | He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. |
103:11 | For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. |
103:12 | As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. |
103:13 | Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. |
103:14 | For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. |
103:15 | As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. |
103:16 | For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. |
103:17 | But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; |
103:18 | To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. |
103:19 | The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
103:20 | Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. |
103:21 | Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. |
103:22 | Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. |

Psalms Chapter 104
104:1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. |
104:2 | Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: |
104:3 | Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: |
104:4 | Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: |
104:5 | Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. |
104:6 | Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. |
104:7 | At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. |
104:8 | They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. |
104:9 | Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. |
104:10 | He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. |
104:11 | They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. |
104:12 | By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. |
104:13 | He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. |
104:14 | He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; |
104:15 | And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. |
104:16 | The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; |
104:17 | Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. |
104:18 | The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. |
104:19 | He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. |
104:20 | Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. |
104:21 | The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. |
104:22 | The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. |
104:23 | Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. |
104:24 | O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. |
104:25 | So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. |
104:26 | There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. |
104:27 | These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. |
104:28 | That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. |
104:29 | Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. |
104:30 | Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. |
104:31 | The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. |
104:32 | He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. |
104:33 | I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. |
104:34 | My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. |
104:35 | Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. |

Psalms Chapter 105
105:1 | O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. |
105:2 | Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
105:3 | Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
105:4 | Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. |
105:5 | Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; |
105:6 | O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. |
105:7 | He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
105:8 | He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
105:9 | Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; |
105:10 | And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
105:11 | Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: |
105:12 | When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. |
105:13 | When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; |
105:14 | He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; |
105:15 | Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
105:16 | Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. |
105:17 | He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: |
105:18 | Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
105:19 | Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. |
105:20 | The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. |
105:21 | He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: |
105:22 | To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. |
105:23 | Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
105:24 | And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. |
105:25 | He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. |
105:26 | He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. |
105:27 | They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
105:28 | He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. |
105:29 | He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. |
105:30 | Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. |
105:31 | He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. |
105:32 | He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. |
105:33 | He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. |
105:34 | He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, |
105:35 | And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
105:36 | He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
105:37 | He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
105:38 | Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. |
105:39 | He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. |
105:40 | The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
105:41 | He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
105:42 | For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
105:43 | And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: |
105:44 | And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; |
105:45 | That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. |

Psalms Chapter 106
106:1 | Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
106:2 | Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? |
106:3 | Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. |
106:4 | Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; |
106:5 | That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. |
106:6 | We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. |
106:7 | Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. |
106:8 | Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. |
106:9 | He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. |
106:10 | And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. |
106:11 | And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. |
106:12 | Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. |
106:13 | They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: |
106:14 | But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. |
106:15 | And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. |
106:16 | They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. |
106:17 | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram. |
106:18 | And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. |
106:19 | They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. |
106:20 | Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. |
106:21 | They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; |
106:22 | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. |
106:23 | Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. |
106:24 | Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: |
106:25 | But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. |
106:26 | Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: |
106:27 | To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. |
106:28 | They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. |
106:29 | Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. |
106:30 | Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. |
106:31 | And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. |
106:32 | They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: |
106:33 | Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. |
106:34 | They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: |
106:35 | But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. |
106:36 | And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. |
106:37 | Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, |
106:38 | And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. |
106:39 | Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. |
106:40 | Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. |
106:41 | And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. |
106:42 | Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
106:43 | Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. |
106:44 | Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: |
106:45 | And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. |
106:46 | He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. |
106:47 | Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. |
106:48 | Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. |

Psalms Chapter 107
107:1 | O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
107:2 | Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; |
107:3 | And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. |
107:4 | They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. |
107:5 | Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. |
107:6 | Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. |
107:7 | And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. |
107:8 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:9 | For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. |
107:10 | Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; |
107:11 | Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: |
107:12 | Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. |
107:13 | Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. |
107:14 | He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. |
107:15 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:16 | For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. |
107:17 | Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. |
107:18 | Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. |
107:19 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. |
107:20 | He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. |
107:21 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:22 | And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. |
107:23 | They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; |
107:24 | These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. |
107:25 | For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. |
107:26 | They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. |
107:27 | They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. |
107:28 | Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. |
107:29 | He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. |
107:30 | Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. |
107:31 | Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! |
107:32 | Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. |
107:33 | He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; |
107:34 | A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. |
107:35 | He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. |
107:36 | And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; |
107:37 | And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. |
107:38 | He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. |
107:39 | Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. |
107:40 | He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. |
107:41 | Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. |
107:42 | The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
107:43 | Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |

Psalms Chapter 108
108:1 | O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
108:2 | Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
108:3 | I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. |
108:4 | For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. |
108:5 | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; |
108:6 | That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. |
108:7 | God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
108:8 | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
108:9 | Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. |
108:10 | Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
108:11 | Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
108:12 | Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
108:13 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. |

Psalms Chapter 109
109:1 | Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; |
109:2 | For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. |
109:3 | They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. |
109:4 | For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. |
109:5 | And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. |
109:6 | Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. |
109:7 | When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. |
109:8 | Let his days be few; and let another take his office. |
109:9 | Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. |
109:10 | Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. |
109:11 | Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. |
109:12 | Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. |
109:13 | Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. |
109:14 | Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. |
109:15 | Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. |
109:16 | Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. |
109:17 | As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. |
109:18 | As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. |
109:19 | Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. |
109:20 | Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. |
109:21 | But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. |
109:22 | For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. |
109:23 | I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. |
109:24 | My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. |
109:25 | I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. |
109:26 | Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: |
109:27 | That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. |
109:28 | Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. |
109:29 | Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. |
109:30 | I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. |
109:31 | For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. |

114:5 | What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
114:6 | Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |

115:1 | Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
115:2 | Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
115:3 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. |
115:4 | Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
115:5 | They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
115:6 | They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
115:7 | They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. |
115:8 | They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. |
115:9 | O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |

116:17 | I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:18 | I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |

118:14 | The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. |
118:15 | The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
118:16 | The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |

118:20 | This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. |
118:21 | I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. |
118:22 | The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. |
118:23 | This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. |
118:24 | This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
118:25 | Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. |
118:26 | Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. |

119:51 | The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. |
119:52 | I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. |
119:53 | Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. |
119:54 | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
119:55 | I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. |
119:56 | This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |

119:71 | It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. |
119:72 | The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. |
119:73 | Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. |
119:74 | They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. |

119:81 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
119:82 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? |
119:83 | For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. |
119:84 | How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
119:85 | The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. |
119:86 | All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
119:87 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
119:88 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
119:89 | For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. |
119:90 | Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. |
119:91 | They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. |
119:92 | Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. |
119:93 | I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. |
119:94 | I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. |
119:95 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. |
119:96 | I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. |
119:97 | O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. |
119:98 | Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. |
119:99 | I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. |
119:100 | I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. |
119:101 | I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. |
119:102 | I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. |
119:103 | How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! |
119:104 | Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. |
119:105 | Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
119:106 | I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. |
119:107 | I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
119:108 | Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. |
119:109 | My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
119:110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. |
119:111 | Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. |
119:112 | I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. |
119:113 | I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. |
119:114 | Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
119:115 | Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. |
119:116 | Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. |
119:117 | Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. |
119:118 | Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. |
119:119 | Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. |
119:120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
119:121 | I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. |
119:122 | Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. |
119:123 | Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. |
119:124 | Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. |
119:125 | I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. |
119:126 | It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. |
119:127 | Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. |
119:128 | Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. |
119:129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
119:130 | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
119:131 | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
119:132 | Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. |
119:133 | Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
119:134 | Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. |
119:135 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. |
119:136 | Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. |
119:137 | Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. |
119:138 | Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. |
119:139 | My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
119:140 | Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |
119:141 | I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. |
119:142 | Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. |
119:143 | Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. |
119:144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
119:145 | I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. |
119:146 | I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
119:147 | I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. |
119:148 | Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. |
119:149 | Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. |
119:150 | They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. |
119:151 | Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. |
119:152 | Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. |
119:153 | Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. |
119:154 | Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. |
119:155 | Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. |
119:156 | Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. |
119:157 | Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. |
119:158 | I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. |
119:159 | Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. |

119:162 | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
119:163 | I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. |

124:4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
124:5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |

132:4 | I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, |
132:5 | Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. |
132:6 | Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. |
132:7 | We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. |

135:7 | He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. |
135:8 | Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. |
135:9 | Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. |
135:10 | Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; |

139:6 | Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. |
139:7 | Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
139:8 | If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. |
139:9 | If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; |
139:10 | Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. |

139:15 | My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. |
139:16 | Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. |
139:17 | How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! |
139:18 | If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. |

144:4 | Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. |
144:5 | Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. |
144:6 | Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. |
144:7 | Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; |
144:8 | Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
144:9 | I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. |
144:10 | It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. |
144:11 | Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: |
144:12 | That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: |
144:13 | That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: |
144:14 | That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. |
144:15 | Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. |
