Psalm 101:1-8
1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy
and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 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. 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. 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
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. 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. 7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not
tarry in my sight. 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. (KJV)
102
Psalm 102:1-28
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is
overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and
let my cry come unto thee. 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. 3
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. 4 My heart is
smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 By reason of the
voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness:
I am like an owl of the desert. 7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. 8
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn
against me. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for
ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy
upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. 14 For thy servants
take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. 15 So the heathen shall fear the
name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 16 When the LORD shall build
up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. 17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and
not despise their prayer. 18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the
people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. 19 For he hath looked down from the
height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; 20 To hear the
groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; 21 To declare the
name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 22 When the people are gathered
together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened my strength in the way; he
shortened my days. 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy
years are throughout all generations. 25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of
the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 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: 27 But thou art the same, and thy years
shall have no end. 28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be
established before thee. (KJV)
103
Psalm 103:1-22
1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD,
O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my
soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth
all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that
thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and
judgment for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto
the children of Israel. 8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for
ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so
the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that
we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the
field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to
everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 18 To
such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in
the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel
in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 21 Bless ye
the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
(KJV)
104
Psalm 104:1-35
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my
God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself
with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 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: 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a
flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters
stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place
which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sendeth the springs into the
valleys, which run among the hills. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their
habitation, which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from his
chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 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; 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. 16 The trees of the
LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17 Where the
birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the
conies.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the
sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the
beasts of the forest do creep forth. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and
seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay
them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the
evening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the
earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things
creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships: there is that
leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 These wait all upon thee; that
thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28 That thou givest them
they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face,
they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for
ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I
will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet:
I will be glad in the LORD. 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. (KJV)
105
Psalm 105:1-45
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon
his name: make known his deeds among the people. 2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the LORD. 4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his
mouth; 6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 7 He is the
LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for
ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he
made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a
law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 11 Saying, Unto thee will I
give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 12 When they were but a few
men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 13 When they went from one nation to
another, from one kingdom to another people; 14 He suffered no man to do them
wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed,
and do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the
whole staff of bread. 17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was
sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 Until
the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed
him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He made him lord of his
house, and ruler of all his substance: 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach
his senators wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of
Ham. 24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his
people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron
whom he had chosen. 27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 29 He
turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land brought forth frogs in
abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of
flies, and lice in all their coasts. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming
fire in their land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees
of their coasts. 34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without
number, 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their
ground. 36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person
among their tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell
upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. 40 The
people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a
river. 42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 43 And he
brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 44 And gave them
the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; 45 That they might
observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
106
Psalm 106:1-48
1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto
the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Who can utter
the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? 3 Blessed are they
that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O
LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy
salvation; 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.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 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. 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he
might make his mighty power to be known. 9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 10 And he saved them
from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. 12 Then believed
they his words; they sang his praise.
13 They soon forgat his works; they waited
not for his counsel: 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the
desert. 15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 16 They
envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. 17 The earth opened
and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in
their company; the flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb, and
worshipped the molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox
that eateth grass. 21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 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. 24 Yea, they
despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: 25 But murmured in their tents, and
hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. 26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against
them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow their seed also among the
nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their
inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed
judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for
righteousness unto all generations for evermore. 32 They angered him also at the
waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33 Because they provoked
his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations,
concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 35 But were mingled among the heathen, and
learned their works. 36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37 Yea,
they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 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. 39 Thus were they defiled with their own
works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 40 Therefore was the wrath of the
LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 41 And he
gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. 42 Their
enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were
brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he
heard their cry: 45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the
multitude of his mercies. 46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives. 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. 48 Blessed be the LORD God
of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the
LORD. (KJV)
107
Psalm 107:1-43
1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he
is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands,
from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 4 They wandered in
the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he
delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And he led them forth by the right way, that
they might go to a city of habitation. 8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth
the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled
against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12 Therefore he
brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their
distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their
bands in sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
his wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass,
and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools because of their transgression,
and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of
meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their
trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his
word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21 Oh that men
would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to
the children of men! 22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare
his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships,
that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in
the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves
thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is
melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and
are at their wits' end. 28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth
them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are
still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired
haven. 31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of
the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
and the watersprings into dry ground; 34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the
wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,
and dry ground into watersprings. 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they
may prepare a city for habitation; 37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may
yield fruits of increase. 38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39 Again, they are minished and brought low
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and
causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he
the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. 42 The
righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 43
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the
lovingkindness of the LORD. (KJV)
108
Psalm 108:1-13
1 A Song or Psalm of David. O God,
my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, psaltery and
harp: I myself will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great above
the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted, O God,
above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with
thy right hand, and answer me. 7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I
will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh
is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my
lawgiver; 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia
will I triumph. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 11 Wilt
not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go
forth with our hosts? 12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
(KJV)
109
Psalm 109:1-31
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; 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. 3 They
compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 4 For
my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5 And they have
rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let
Satan stand at his right hand. 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let
his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. 9
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children be continually
vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 11
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. 12 Let
there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless
children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let
their name be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the LORD
continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 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. 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted
not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 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.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith
he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from
the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for
thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22 For I am poor
and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like the shadow when it
declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting;
and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they
looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to
thy mercy: 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD,
hast done it. 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but
let thy servant rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 30 I will greatly praise the LORD
with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31 For he shall stand at the
right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. (KJV)
110
Psalm 110:1-7
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2 The LORD
shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 3
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness
from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4 The LORD hath sworn, and
will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike
through kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the
places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 7 He shall
drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. (KJV)
111
Psalm 111:1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the
LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the
congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have
pleasure therein. 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness
endureth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious
and full of compassion. 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be
mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of
his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7 The works of his hands are
verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever
and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his
people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they
that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. (KJV)
112
Psalm 112:1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the
man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of
compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his
affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil
tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established, he
shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. 9 He hath dispersed,
he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted
with honour. 10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his
teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. (KJV)
113
Psalm 113:1-9
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye
servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from
this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the
same the LORD'S name is to be praised. 4 The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who
dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in
heaven, and in the earth! 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the
needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the
princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a
joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
114
Psalm 114:1-8
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house
of Jacob from a people of strange language; 2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel
his dominion. 3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains
skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 5 What ailed thee, O
thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 6 Ye
mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? 7
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 8
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
(KJV)
115
Psalm 115:1-18
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but
unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. 2 Wherefore
should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 3 But our God is in the
heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 4 Their idols are silver and
gold, the work of men's hands. 5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but
they see not: 6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak
they through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every
one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is
their help and their shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their
help and their shield. 11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their
help and their shield. 12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he
will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13 He will bless them
that fear the LORD, both small and great. 14 The LORD shall increase you more and
more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and
earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath
he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down
into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise
the LORD. (KJV)
116
Psalm 116:1-19
1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard
my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 3 The sorrows of death compassed
me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then called I
upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is the
LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I
was brought low, and he helped me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for
the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from
death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the
LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I
was greatly afflicted: 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. 12 What shall I
render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of
salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in
the presence of all his people. 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death
of his saints. 16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the
son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of
thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD
now in the presence of all his people, 19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst
of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
117
Psalm 117:1-2
1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations:
praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth
of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
118
Psalm 118:1-29
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he
is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his
mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth
for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for
ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a
large place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 7
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon
them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 10 All
nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11 They
compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will
destroy them. 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of
thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me
that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and song, and
is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the
tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 16 The right
hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not
die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but
he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 20 This gate of the LORD, into
which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art
become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone
of the corner. 23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the
house of the LORD. 27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the
sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 28 Thou art my God,
and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O give thanks unto
the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (KJV)
119
Psalm 119:1-176
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled
in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 2 Blessed are they that keep his
testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3 They also do no iniquity:
they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep
thy precepts diligently. 5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6 Then shall
I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of
heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 8 I will keep thy statutes: O
forsake me not utterly.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man
cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee:
O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that
I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach
me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the
judgments of thy mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in
all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will
delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy
servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of thy law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth:
hide not thy commandments from me.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that
it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are
cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt;
for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak
against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my
delight and my counsellors.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
quicken thou me according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou
heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so
shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness:
strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant
me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy
judgments have I laid before me. 31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put
me not to shame. 32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my
heart.
33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy
statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall
keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy
commandments; for therein do I delight. 36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not
to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding
vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who
is devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for
thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy
precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me,
O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. 42 So shall I have wherewith to
answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly
out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 44 So shall I keep thy law continually
for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek
thy precepts. 46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be
ashamed. 47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 48 My hands
also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy
statutes.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy
servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my
affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in
derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O
LORD; and have comforted myself.
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because
of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the
house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in
the night, and have kept thy law. 56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
57 CHETH. Thou art my portion, O
LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole
heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my
feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me:
but I have not forgotten thy law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks
unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that
fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy
mercy: teach me thy statutes.
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy
servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I
have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray:
but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good;
teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me:
but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat
as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have
been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better
unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and
fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74 They that fear thee will be glad when
they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are
right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness
be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 77 Let thy tender mercies come
unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they
dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. 79
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes;
that I be not ashamed.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy
salvation: but I hope in thy word. 82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When
wilt thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the
smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy
servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me,
which are not after thy law. 86 All thy commandments are faithful: they
persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I
forsook not thy precepts.
88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so
shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is
settled in heaven. 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast
established the earth, and it abideth. 91 They continue this day according to thine
ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my
delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for
with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have
sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to
destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but
thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my
meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made
me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding
than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more
than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every
evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy
judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my
feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me,
O LORD, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill
offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my
hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred
not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an
heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine
heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts:
but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my
shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I
will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word,
that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be
safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that
err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the
wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120 My flesh
trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice:
leave me not to mine oppressors. 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud
oppress me.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and
for the word of thy righteousness.
124 Deal with thy servant according unto
thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding,
that I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for thee,
LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments
above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
129 PE. Thy testimonies are wonderful:
therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth
light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I
longed for thy commandments.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful
unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let
not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man:
so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy
servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes,
because they keep not thy law.
137 TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O
LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast
commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine
enemies have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure:
therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised: yet
do not I forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on
me: yet thy commandments are my delights. 144 The righteousness of thy
testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
145 KOPH. I cried with my whole
heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I
shall keep thy testimonies.
147 I prevented the dawning of the
morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches,
that I might meditate in thy word.
149 Hear my voice according unto thy
lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150 They draw nigh that follow after
mischief: they are far from thy law. 151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy
commandments are truth.
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have
known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
153 RESH. Consider mine affliction, and
deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me
according to thy word.
155 Salvation is far from the
wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
156 Great are thy tender mercies, O
LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and
mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was
grieved; because they kept not thy word.
159 Consider how I love thy precepts:
quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
160 Thy word is true from the
beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me
without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that
findeth great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy
law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee
because of thy righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have they which love thy
law: and nothing shall offend them.
166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation,
and done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and
I love them exceedingly. 168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways
are before thee.
169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee,
O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 170 Let my supplication come before
thee: deliver me according to thy word.
171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou
hast taught me thy statutes.
172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for
all thy commandments are righteousness.
173 Let thine hand help me; for I have
chosen thy precepts. 174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my
delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise
thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. (KJV)
120
Psalm 120:1-7
1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I
cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from
a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou
false tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that
I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. (KJV)
121
Psalm 121:1-8
1 A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine
eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth
thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun
shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from
all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy
coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (KJV)
122
Psalm 122:1-9
1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad
when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 2 Our feet shall stand
within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give
thanks unto the name of the LORD. 5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of
the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they
shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within
thy palaces. 8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within
thee. 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. (KJV)
123
Psalm 123:1-4
1 A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up
mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto
the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her
mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with
contempt. 4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and
with the contempt of the proud. (KJV)
124
Psalm 124:1-8
1 A Song of degrees of David. If it had
not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 2 If it had not been the
LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 3 Then they had swallowed us up
quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the
stream had gone over our soul: 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not
given us as a prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare
of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 8 Our help is in the name
of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (KJV)
125
Psalm 125:1-5
1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in
the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth
for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round
about his people from henceforth even for ever. 3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest
upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good,
and to them that are upright in their hearts. 5 As for such as turn aside unto
their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace
shall be upon Israel. (KJV)
126
Psalm 126:1-6
1 A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned
again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled
with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD
hath done great things for them. 3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we
are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the
streams in the south. 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth
and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him. (KJV)
127
Psalm 127:1-5
1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except
the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the
city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 2 It is vain for you to rise up
early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved
sleep. 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb
is his reward. 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children
of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not
be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (KJV)
128
Psalm 128:1-6
1 A Song of degrees. Blessed is every
one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour of
thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like
olive plants round about thy table. 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that
feareth the LORD. 5 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of
Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace
upon Israel. (KJV)
129
Psalm 129:1-8
1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they
afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 2 Many a time have they afflicted me from
my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they
made long their furrows. 4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of
the wicked.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned
back that hate Zion. 6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth
afore it groweth up: 7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth
sheaves his bosom. 8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon
you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. (KJV)
130
Psalm 130:1-8
1 A Song of degrees. Out of the depths
have I cried unto thee, O LORD. 2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the
voice of my supplications. 3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall
stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait,
and in his word do I hope. 6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch
for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 7 Let Israel
hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous
redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. (KJV)
131
Psalm 131:1-3
1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my
heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me. 2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that
is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 3 Let Israel hope in
the LORD from henceforth and for ever. (KJV)
132
Psalm 132:1-18
1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David,
and all his afflictions: 2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the
mighty God of Jacob; 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor
go up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine
eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of
Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 7 We will
go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest;
thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and
let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of
thine anointed.
11 The LORD hath sworn in truth
unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their
children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he
hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I
dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her
poor with bread. 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall
shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp
for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his
crown flourish. (KJV)
133
Psalm 133:1-3
1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how
good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like
the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's
beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the
dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the
blessing, even life for evermore. (KJV)
134
Psalm 134:1-3
1 A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the
LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. 2
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. 3 The LORD that made
heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. (KJV)
135
Psalm 135:1-21
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name
of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. 2 Ye that stand in the house of
the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good:
sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob
unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did
he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. 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. 8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 Who
sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his servants. 10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; 11 Sihon king of the
Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: 12 And gave their land for
an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. 13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for
ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. 14 For the LORD will
judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver
and gold, the work of men's hands. 16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have
they, but they see not; 17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath
in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that
trusteth in them. 19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. 21 Blessed be
the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
136
Psalm 136:1-26
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he
is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 O give thanks unto the God of gods:
for his mercy endureth for ever. 3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for
ever. 6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for
ever. 7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: 8 The sun
to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: 9 The moon and stars to rule by
night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
10 To him that smote Egypt in their
firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: 11 And brought out Israel from among
them: for his mercy endureth for ever: 12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched
out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. 13 To him which divided the Red sea into
parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 14 And made Israel to pass through the
midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: 15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host
in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. 16 To him which led his people
through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. 17 To him which smote
great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 18 And slew famous kings: for his
mercy endureth for ever: 19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for
ever: 20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: 21 And gave
their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22 Even an
heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.
23 Who remembered us in our low estate:
for his mercy endureth for ever: 24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for
ever. (KJV)
137
Psalm 137:1-9
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat
down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the
midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and
they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the
songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee,
O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let
my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom
in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation
thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that
rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones. (KJV)
138
Psalm 138:1-8
1 A Psalm of David. I will praise
thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship
toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for
thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst
me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the
earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 5 Yea, they shall
sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath
he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7 Though I walk in the midst
of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of
mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth
me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
(KJV)
139
Psalm 139:1-24
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine
uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying
down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my
tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind
and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful
for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or
whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of
the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy
hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall
cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from
thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to
thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy
works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee,
when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
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.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto
me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more
in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19 Surely thou wilt slay the
wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee
wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O
LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate
them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my
heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. (KJV)
140
Psalm 140:1-13
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 2 Which imagine
mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their
lips. Selah. 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent
man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and
cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 6 I said
unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 7 O GOD
the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the
wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 9 As
for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover
them. 10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits,
that they rise not up again. 11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil
shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 12 I know that the LORD will maintain
the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 13 Surely the righteous
shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. (KJV)
141
Psalm 141:1-10
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee:
make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 Let my prayer be set
forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the
evening sacrifice. 3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 4
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work
iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall
be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall
not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 6 When
their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon
the earth. 8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust;
leave not my soul destitute. 9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me,
and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
whilst that I withal escape. (KJV)
142
Psalm 142:1-7
1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was
in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make
my supplication. 2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I
walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4 I looked on my right hand, and
beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for
my soul. 5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my
portion in the land of the living. 6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low:
deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 7 Bring my soul out of
prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt
deal bountifully with me. (KJV)
143
Psalm 143:1-12
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O
LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy
righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no
man living be justified. 3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life
down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long
dead. 4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 5 I
remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty
land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit
faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 8
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to
know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 9 Deliver me, O LORD,
from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art
my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 11 Quicken
me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I
am thy servant. (KJV)
144
Psalm 144:1-15
1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the
LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 2 My
goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in
whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 3 LORD, what is man, that thou
takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 4 Man
is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 5 Bow thy heavens, O
LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 6 Cast forth lightning,
and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 7 Send thine hand from above;
rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 8 Whose
mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
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. 10 It
is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the
hurtful sword. 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: 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: 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: 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. 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea,
happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. (KJV)
145
Psalm 145:1-21
1 David's Psalm of praise. I will
extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will
I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation
shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of
the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall
speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall
abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 8
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O
LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. 11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
and talk of thy power; 12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the
glorious majesty of his kingdom. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy
dominion endureth throughout all generations. 14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and
thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the
desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in
all his works. 18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that
call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will save them. 20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all
the wicked will he destroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all
flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. (KJV)
146
Psalm 146:1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O
my soul. 2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I
have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there
is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his
thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the
God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6 Which made heaven,
and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 7 Which
executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth
the prisoners: 8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that
are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he
relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10
The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise
ye the LORD. (KJV)
147
Psalm 147:1-20
1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good
to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 2
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He
healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 4 He telleth the number of the
stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great
power: his understanding is infinite. 6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth
the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon
the harp unto our God: 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the
earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He giveth to the beast his food, and
to the young ravens which cry. 10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he
taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear
him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise
thy God, O Zion. 13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy
children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee
with the finest of the wheat. 15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his
word runneth very swiftly. 16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like
ashes. 17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 18 He
sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters
flow. 19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He
hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known
them. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
148
Psalm 148:1-14
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye
him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let
them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 6 He hath also
stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye
dragons, and all deeps: 8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his
word: 9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 10 Beasts, and all
cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes,
and all judges of the earth: 12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 13 Let
them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above
the earth and heaven. 14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his
saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
(KJV)
149
Psalm 149:1-9
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a
new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him
that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his
name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4 For the
LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the
saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of
God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance
upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with
chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment
written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)
150
Psalm 150:1-6
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his
sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the
trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
