|
51:1 |
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 throughly 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 shew 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. |
|
55:1 |
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. |
|
59:1 |
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. |
|
66:1 |
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. |
|
68:1 |
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. |
|
69:1 |
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. |
|
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 shew 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 shewed 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 shewed 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. |
|
72:1 |
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. |
|
73:1 |
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. |
|
74:1 |
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. |
|
77:1 |
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. |
|
78:1 |
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, shewing 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 shewed 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
enquired 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 caterpiller, and their labour
unto the locust. |
|
78:47 |
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore 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. |
|
80:1 |
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. |
|
81:1 |
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. |
|
83:1 |
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. |
|
86:1 |
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 |
Shew 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. |
|
88:1 |
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 shew 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. |
|
89:1 |
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. |
|
90:1 |
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. |
|
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 shew him my salvation. |
|
92:1 |
IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING
PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: |
|
92:2 |
To shew 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 shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is
no unrighteousness in him. |
|
94:1 |
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance
belongeth, shew 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. |
