Book 19 Psalms
19:001:001 Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
the seat of the
scornful.
19:001:002 But his delight is in
the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and
night.
19:001:003 And he shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
19:001:004 The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly
shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth
the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall
perish.
19:002:001 Why do the heathen
rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
19:002:002 The kings of the earth
set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying,
19:002:003 Let us break their
bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.
19:002:004 He that sitteth in the
heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
have them in derision.
19:002:005 Then shall he speak
unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure.
19:002:006 Yet have I set my king
upon my holy hill of Zion.
19:002:007 I will declare the
decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day
have I begotten thee.
19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall
give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.
19:002:009 Thou shalt break them
with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a
potter's vessel.
19:002:010 Be wise now therefore,
O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
19:002:011 Serve the LORD with
fear, and rejoice with trembling.
19:002:012 Kiss the Son, lest he
be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in
him.
19:003:001 Lord, how are they
increased that trouble me! many are they
that rise up against
me.
19:003:002 Many there be which say
of my soul, There is no help for him
in God. Selah.
19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a
shield for me; my glory, and the
lifter up of mine head.
19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD
with my voice, and he heard me out of
his holy hill. Selah.
19:003:005 I laid me down and
slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
19:003:006 I will not be afraid of
ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me
round about.
19:003:007 Arise, O LORD; save me,
O my God: for thou hast smitten all
mine enemies upon the
cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth
of the ungodly.
19:003:008 Salvation belongeth
unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
people. Selah.
19:004:001 Hear me when I call, O
God of my righteousness: thou hast
enlarged me when I was
in distress; have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.
19:004:002 O ye sons of men, how
long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love
vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
19:004:003 But know that the LORD
hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will
hear when I call unto him.
19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin
not: commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still.
Selah.
19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of
righteousness, and put your trust in
the LORD.
19:004:006 There be many that say,
Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of
thy countenance upon us.
19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness
in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their
wine increased.
19:004:008 I will both lay me down
in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in
safety.
19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O
LORD, consider my meditation.
19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice
of my cry, my King, and my God: for
unto thee will I pray.
19:005:003 My voice shalt thou
hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
19:005:004 For thou art not a God
that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil
dwell with thee.
19:005:005 The foolish shall not
stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.
19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them
that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and
deceitful man.
19:005:007 But as for me, I will
come into thy house in the multitude of
thy mercy: and in thy
fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.
19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy
righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight
before my face.
19:005:009 For there is no
faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is very wickedness;
their throat is an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their
tongue.
19:005:010 Destroy thou them, O
God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the
multitude of their transgressions; for
they have rebelled
against thee.
19:005:011 But let all those that
put their trust in thee rejoice: let
them ever shout for
joy, because thou defendest them: let them
also that love thy name
be joyful in thee.
19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt
bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as
with a shield.
19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not
in thine anger, neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.
19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O
LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me;
for my bones are vexed.
19:006:003 My soul is also sore
vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver
my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
sake.
19:006:005 For in death there is
no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?
19:006:006 I am weary with my
groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch
with my tears.
19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed
because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.
19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my
weeping.
19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my
supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.
19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be
ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed
suddenly.
19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee
do I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me,
and deliver me:
19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul
like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
there is none to
deliver.
19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I
have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;
19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil
unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered
him that without cause is mine enemy:)
19:007:005 Let the enemy persecute
my soul, and take it; yea, let him
tread down my life upon
the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.
19:007:006 Arise, O LORD, in thine
anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies:
and awake for me to the judgment that
thou hast commanded.
19:007:007 So shall the
congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes
therefore return thou on high.
19:007:008 The LORD shall judge
the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness,
and according to mine integrity that is
in me.
19:007:009 Oh let the wickedness
of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for
the righteous God trieth the hearts
and reins.
19:007:010 My defence is of God,
which saveth the upright in heart.
19:007:011 God judgeth the
righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.
19:007:012 If he turn not, he will
whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.
19:007:013 He hath also prepared
for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows
against the persecutors.
19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth
with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought
forth falsehood.
19:007:015 He made a pit, and
digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.
19:007:016 His mischief shall
return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down
upon his own pate.
19:007:017 I will praise the LORD
according to his righteousness: and
will sing praise to the
name of the LORD most high.
19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how
excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory
above the heavens.
19:008:002 Out of the mouth of
babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of
thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the
avenger.
19:008:003 When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which
thou hast ordained;
19:008:004 What is man, that thou
art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
19:008:005 For thou hast made him
a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with
glory and honour.
19:008:006 Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all
things under his feet:
19:008:007 All sheep and oxen,
yea, and the beasts of the field;
19:008:008 The fowl of the air,
and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the
paths of the seas.
19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how
excellent is thy name in all the earth!
19:009:001 I will praise thee, O
LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy
marvellous works.
19:009:002 I will be glad and
rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
19:009:003 When mine enemies are
turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence.
19:009:004 For thou hast
maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging
right.
19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the
heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their
name for ever and ever.
19:009:006 O thou enemy,
destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed
cities; their memorial is perished with
them.
19:009:007 But the LORD shall
endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.
19:009:008 And he shall judge the
world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to
the people in uprightness.
19:009:009 The LORD also will be a
refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
19:009:010 And they that know thy
name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not
forsaken them that seek thee.
19:009:011 Sing praises to the
LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his
doings.
19:009:012 When he maketh
inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry
of the humble.
19:009:013 Have mercy upon me, O
LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer
of them that hate me,
thou that liftest me up from the gates
of death:
19:009:014 That I may shew forth
all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I
will rejoice in thy salvation.
19:009:015 The heathen are sunk
down in the pit that they made: in the
net which they hid is
their own foot taken.
19:009:016 The LORD is known by
the judgment which he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the
work of his own hands. Higgaion.
Selah.
19:009:017 The wicked shall be
turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.
19:009:018 For the needy shall not
alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not
perish for ever.
19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not
man prevail: let the heathen be judged
in thy sight.
19:009:020 Put them in fear, O
LORD: that the nations may know themselves
to be but men. Selah.
19:010:001 Why standest thou afar
off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?
19:010:002 The wicked in his pride
doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices
that they have imagined.
19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth
of his heart's desire, and blesseth
the covetous, whom the
LORD abhorreth.
19:010:004 The wicked, through the
pride of his countenance, will not
seek after God: God is
not in all his thoughts.
19:010:005 His ways are always
grievous; thy judgments are far above out
of his sight: as for
all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
19:010:006 He hath said in his
heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.
19:010:007 His mouth is full of
cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and
vanity.
19:010:008 He sitteth in the
lurking places of the villages: in the
secret places doth he
murder the innocent: his eyes are
privily set against the
poor.
19:010:009 He lieth in wait
secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
wait to catch the poor:
he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him into his
net.
19:010:010 He croucheth, and
humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.
19:010:011 He hath said in his
heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see
it.
19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God,
lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.
19:010:013 Wherefore doth the
wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not
require it.
19:010:014 Thou hast seen it; for
thou beholdest mischief and spite, to
requite it with thy
hand: the poor committeth himself unto
thee; thou art the
helper of the fatherless.
19:010:015 Break thou the arm of
the wicked and the evil man: seek out
his wickedness till
thou find none.
19:010:016 The LORD is King for
ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land.
19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard
the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart,
thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
19:010:018 To judge the fatherless
and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more
oppress.
19:011:001 In the LORD put I my
trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a
bird to your mountain?
19:011:002 For, lo, the wicked
bend their bow, they make ready their
arrow upon the string,
that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
19:011:003 If the foundations be
destroyed, what can the righteous do?
19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy
temple, the LORD's throne is in
heaven: his eyes
behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
19:011:005 The LORD trieth the
righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his
soul hateth.
19:011:006 Upon the wicked he
shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and
an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
19:011:007 For the righteous LORD
loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the
upright.
19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the
godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children
of men.
19:012:002 They speak vanity every
one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and
with a double heart do they speak.
19:012:003 The LORD shall cut off
all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud
things:
19:012:004 Who have said, With our
tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord
over us?
19:012:005 For the oppression of
the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith
the LORD; I will set him in safety
from him that puffeth
at him.
19:012:006 The words of the LORD
are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth,
purified seven times.
19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O
LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for
ever.
19:012:008 The wicked walk on
every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.
19:013:001 How long wilt thou
forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from
me?
19:013:002 How long shall I take
counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long
shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O
LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of
death;
19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I
have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice
when I am moved.
19:013:005 But I have trusted in
thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
19:013:006 I will sing unto the
LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.
19:014:001 The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.
19:014:002 The LORD looked down
from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any
that did understand, and seek God.
19:014:003 They are all gone
aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that
doeth good, no, not one.
19:014:004 Have all the workers of
iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat
bread, and call not upon the LORD.
19:014:005 There were they in
great fear: for God is in the generation of
the righteous.
19:014:006 Ye have shamed the
counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
his refuge.
19:014:007 Oh that the salvation
of Israel were come out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back
the captivity of his people, Jacob
shall rejoice, and
Israel shall be glad.
19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide
in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in
thy holy hill?
19:015:002 He that walketh
uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in
his heart.
19:015:003 He that backbiteth not
with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh
up a reproach against his neighbour.
19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile
person is contemned; but he honoureth
them that fear the
LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
changeth not.
19:015:005 He that putteth not out
his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never
be moved.
19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for
in thee do I put my trust.
19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast
said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not
to thee;
19:016:003 But to the saints that
are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my
delight.
19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be
multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my
lips.
19:016:005 The LORD is the portion
of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my
lot.
19:016:006 The lines are fallen
unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
19:016:007 I will bless the LORD,
who hath given me counsel: my reins
also instruct me in the
night seasons.
19:016:008 I have set the LORD
always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not
be moved.
19:016:009 Therefore my heart is
glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in
hope.
19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One
to see corruption.
19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the
path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right
hand there are pleasures for evermore.
19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD,
attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not
out of feigned lips.
19:017:002 Let my sentence come
forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that
are equal.
19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine
heart; thou hast visited me in the
night; thou hast tried
me, and shalt find nothing; I am
purposed that my mouth
shall not transgress.
19:017:004 Concerning the works of
men, by the word of thy lips I have
kept me from the paths
of the destroyer.
19:017:005 Hold up my goings in
thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
19:017:006 I have called upon
thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and
hear my speech.
19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous
lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which
put their trust in thee from those that
rise up against them.
19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of
the eye, hide me under the shadow of
thy wings,
19:017:009 From the wicked that
oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who
compass me about.
19:017:010 They are inclosed in
their own fat: with their mouth they
speak proudly.
19:017:011 They have now compassed
us in our steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the
earth;
19:017:012 Like as a lion that is
greedy of his prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in
secret places.
19:017:013 Arise, O LORD,
disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, which
is thy sword:
19:017:014 From men which are thy
hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
which have their
portion in this life, and whose belly thou
fillest with thy hid
treasure: they are full of children, and
leave the rest of their
substance to their babes.
19:017:015 As for me, I will
behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I
awake, with thy likeness.
19:018:001 I will love thee, O
LORD, my strength.
19:018:002 The LORD is my rock,
and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in
whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
19:018:003 I will call upon the
LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from
mine enemies.
19:018:004 The sorrows of death
compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
men made me afraid.
19:018:005 The sorrows of hell
compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.
19:018:006 In my distress I called
upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out
of his temple, and my cry came before
him, even into his
ears.
19:018:007 Then the earth shook
and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were
shaken, because he was wroth.
19:018:008 There went up a smoke
out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals
were kindled by it.
19:018:009 He bowed the heavens
also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.
19:018:010 And he rode upon a
cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.
19:018:011 He made darkness his
secret place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters
and thick clouds of the skies.
19:018:012 At the brightness that
was before him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals
of fire.
19:018:013 The LORD also thundered
in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail stones
and coals of fire.
19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his
arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and
discomfited them.
19:018:015 Then the channels of
waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were
discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
of the breath of thy
nostrils.
19:018:016 He sent from above, he
took me, he drew me out of many waters.
19:018:017 He delivered me from my
strong enemy, and from them which
hated me: for they were
too strong for me.
19:018:018 They prevented me in
the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.
19:018:019 He brought me forth
also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in
me.
19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me
according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.
19:018:021 For I have kept the
ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
19:018:022 For all his judgments
were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.
19:018:023 I was also upright
before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD
recompensed me according to my
righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight.
19:018:025 With the merciful thou
wilt shew thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt
shew thyself upright;
19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt
shew thyself pure; and with the
froward thou wilt shew
thyself froward.
19:018:027 For thou wilt save the
afflicted people; but wilt bring down
high looks.
19:018:028 For thou wilt light my
candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness.
19:018:029 For by thee I have run
through a troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall.
19:018:030 As for God, his way is
perfect: the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all
those that trust in him.
19:018:031 For who is God save the
LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
19:018:032 It is God that girdeth
me with strength, and maketh my way
perfect.
19:018:033 He maketh my feet like
hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my
high places.
19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to
war, so that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms.
19:018:035 Thou hast also given me
the shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden
me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great.
19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my
steps under me, that my feet did not
slip.
19:018:037 I have pursued mine
enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they
were consumed.
19:018:038 I have wounded them
that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.
19:018:039 For thou hast girded me
with strength unto the battle: thou
hast subdued under me
those that rose up against me.
19:018:040 Thou hast also given me
the necks of mine enemies; that I
might destroy them that
hate me.
19:018:041 They cried, but there
was none to save them: even unto the
LORD, but he answered
them not.
19:018:042 Then did I beat them
small as the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the
dirt in the streets.
19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me
from the strivings of the people; and
thou hast made me the
head of the heathen: a people whom I
have not known shall
serve me.
19:018:044 As soon as they hear of
me, they shall obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves
unto me.
19:018:045 The strangers shall
fade away, and be afraid out of their
close places.
19:018:046 The LORD liveth; and
blessed be my rock; and let the God of my
salvation be exalted.
19:018:047 It is God that avengeth
me, and subdueth the people under me.
19:018:048 He delivereth me from
mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise
up against me: thou hast delivered me
from the violent man.
19:018:049 Therefore will I give
thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing
praises unto thy name.
19:018:050 Great deliverance
giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David,
and to his seed for evermore.
19:019:001 The heavens declare the
glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork.
19:019:002 Day unto day uttereth
speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
19:019:003 There is no speech nor
language, where their voice is not
heard.
19:019:004 Their line is gone out
through all the earth, and their words
to the end of the
world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for
the sun,
19:019:005 Which is as a
bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong
man to run a race.
19:019:006 His going forth is from
the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it:
and there is nothing hid from the heat
thereof.
19:019:007 The law of the LORD is
perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple.
19:019:008 The statutes of the
LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD
is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:019:009 The fear of the LORD is
clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD
are true and righteous altogether.
19:019:010 More to be desired are
they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than
honey and the honeycomb.
19:019:011 Moreover by them is thy
servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.
19:019:012 Who can understand his
errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.
19:019:013 Keep back thy servant
also from presumptuous sins; let them
not have dominion over
me: then shall I be upright, and I
shall be innocent from
the great transgression.
19:019:014 Let the words of my
mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy
sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
19:020:001 The LORD hear thee in
the day of trouble; the name of the God
of Jacob defend thee;
19:020:002 Send thee help from the
sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;
19:020:003 Remember all thy
offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
Selah.
19:020:004 Grant thee according to
thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
counsel.
19:020:005 We will rejoice in thy
salvation, and in the name of our God
we will set up our
banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
19:020:006 Now know I that the
LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven
with the saving strength of his right
hand.
19:020:007 Some trust in chariots,
and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of
the LORD our God.
19:020:008 They are brought down
and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
upright.
19:020:009 Save, LORD: let the
king hear us when we call.
19:021:001 The king shall joy in
thy strength, O LORD; and in thy
salvation how greatly
shall he rejoice!
19:021:002 Thou hast given him his
heart's desire, and hast not
withholden the request
of his lips. Selah.
19:021:003 For thou preventest him
with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure
gold on his head.
19:021:004 He asked life of thee,
and thou gavest it him, even length of
days for ever and ever.
19:021:005 His glory is great in
thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
thou laid upon him.
19:021:006 For thou hast made him
most blessed for ever: thou hast made
him exceeding glad with
thy countenance.
19:021:007 For the king trusteth
in the LORD, and through the mercy of
the most High he shall
not be moved.
19:021:008 Thine hand shall find
out all thine enemies: thy right hand
shall find out those
that hate thee.
19:021:009 Thou shalt make them as
a fiery oven in the time of thine
anger: the LORD shall
swallow them up in his wrath, and the
fire shall devour them.
19:021:010 Their fruit shalt thou
destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children
of men.
19:021:011 For they intended evil
against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device,
which they are not able to perform.
19:021:012 Therefore shalt thou
make them turn their back, when thou
shalt make ready thine
arrows upon thy strings against the
face of them.
19:021:013 Be thou exalted, LORD,
in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power.
19:022:001 My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and
from the words of my roaring?
19:022:002 O my God, I cry in the
day time, but thou hearest not; and in
the night season, and
am not silent.
19:022:003 But thou art holy, O
thou that inhabitest the praises of
Israel.
19:022:004 Our fathers trusted in
thee: they trusted, and thou didst
deliver them.
19:022:005 They cried unto thee,
and were delivered: they trusted in
thee, and were not
confounded.
19:022:006 But I am a worm, and no
man; a reproach of men, and despised
of the people.
19:022:007 All they that see me
laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the
lip, they shake the
head, saying,
19:022:008 He trusted on the LORD
that he would deliver him: let him
deliver him, seeing he
delighted in him.
19:022:009 But thou art he that
took me out of the womb: thou didst make
me hope when I was upon
my mother's breasts.
19:022:010 I was cast upon thee
from the womb: thou art my God from my
mother's belly.
19:022:011 Be not far from me; for
trouble is near; for there is none to
help.
19:022:012 Many bulls have
compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have
beset me round.
19:022:013 They gaped upon me with
their mouths, as a ravening and a
roaring lion.
19:022:014 I am poured out like
water, and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
19:022:015 My strength is dried up
like a potsherd; and my tongue
cleaveth to my jaws;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of
death.
19:022:016 For dogs have compassed
me: the assembly of the wicked have
inclosed me: they
pierced my hands and my feet.
19:022:017 I may tell all my
bones: they look and stare upon me.
19:022:018 They part my garments
among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture.
19:022:019 But be not thou far
from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee
to help me.
19:022:020 Deliver my soul from
the sword; my darling from the power of
the dog.
19:022:021 Save me from the lion's
mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
horns of the unicorns.
19:022:022 I will declare thy name
unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I
praise thee.
19:022:023 Ye that fear the LORD,
praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear
him, all ye the seed of Israel.
19:022:024 For he hath not
despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath
he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he
heard.
19:022:025 My praise shall be of
thee in the great congregation: I will
pay my vows before them
that fear him.
19:022:026 The meek shall eat and
be satisfied: they shall praise the
LORD that seek him:
your heart shall live for ever.
19:022:027 All the ends of the
world shall remember and turn unto the
LORD: and all the
kindreds of the nations shall worship before
thee.
19:022:028 For the kingdom is the
LORD's: and he is the governor among
the nations.
19:022:029 All they that be fat
upon earth shall eat and worship: all
they that go down to
the dust shall bow before him: and none
can keep alive his own
soul.
19:022:030 A seed shall serve him;
it shall be accounted to the Lord for
a generation.
19:022:031 They shall come, and
shall declare his righteousness unto a
people that shall be
born, that he hath done this.
19:023:001 The LORD is my
shepherd; I shall not want.
19:023:002 He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still
waters.
19:023:003 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his
name's sake.
19:023:004 Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.
19:023:005 Thou preparest a table
before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
19:023:006 Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD for ever.
19:024:001 The earth is the LORD's,
and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell
therein.
19:024:002 For he hath founded it
upon the seas, and established it upon
the floods.
19:024:003 Who shall ascend into
the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand
in his holy place?
19:024:004 He that hath clean
hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto
vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
19:024:005 He shall receive the
blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
from the God of his
salvation.
19:024:006 This is the generation
of them that seek him, that seek thy
face, O Jacob. Selah.
19:024:007 Lift up your heads, O
ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and
the King of glory shall come in.
19:024:008 Who is this King of
glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
LORD mighty in battle.
19:024:009 Lift up your heads, O
ye gates; even lift them up, ye
everlasting doors; and
the King of glory shall come in.
19:024:010 Who is this King of
glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King
of glory. Selah.
19:025:001 Unto thee, O LORD, do I
lift up my soul.
19:025:002 O my God, I trust in
thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine
enemies triumph over
me.
19:025:003 Yea, let none that wait
on thee be ashamed: let them be
ashamed which
transgress without cause.
19:025:004 Shew me thy ways, O
LORD; teach me thy paths.
19:025:005 Lead me in thy truth,
and teach me: for thou art the God of my
salvation; on thee do I
wait all the day.
19:025:006 Remember, O LORD, thy
tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever
of old.
19:025:007 Remember not the sins
of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy
remember thou me for thy goodness'
sake, O LORD.
19:025:008 Good and upright is the
LORD: therefore will he teach sinners
in the way.
19:025:009 The meek will he guide
in judgment: and the meek will he teach
his way.
19:025:010 All the paths of the
LORD are mercy and truth unto such as
keep his covenant and
his testimonies.
19:025:011 For thy name's sake, O
LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is
great.
19:025:012 What man is he that
feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in
the way that he shall
choose.
19:025:013 His soul shall dwell at
ease; and his seed shall inherit the
earth.
19:025:014 The secret of the LORD
is with them that fear him; and he will
shew them his covenant.
19:025:015 Mine eyes are ever
toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet
out of the net.
19:025:016 Turn thee unto me, and
have mercy upon me; for I am desolate
and afflicted.
19:025:017 The troubles of my
heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of
my distresses.
19:025:018 Look upon mine
affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
sins.
19:025:019 Consider mine enemies;
for they are many; and they hate me
with cruel hatred.
19:025:020 O keep my soul, and
deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I
put my trust in thee.
19:025:021 Let integrity and
uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
19:025:022 Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.
19:026:001 Judge me, O LORD; for I
have walked in mine integrity: I have
trusted also in the
LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
19:026:002 Examine me, O LORD, and
prove me; try my reins and my heart.
19:026:003 For thy lovingkindness
is before mine eyes: and I have walked
in thy truth.
19:026:004 I have not sat with
vain persons, neither will I go in with
dissemblers.
19:026:005 I have hated the
congregation of evil doers; and will not sit
with the wicked.
19:026:006 I will wash mine hands
in innocency: so will I compass thine
altar, O LORD:
19:026:007 That I may publish with
the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of
all thy wondrous works.
19:026:008 LORD, I have loved the
habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour
dwelleth.
19:026:009 Gather not my soul with
sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
19:026:010 In whose hands is
mischief, and their right hand is full of
bribes.
19:026:011 But as for me, I will
walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and
be merciful unto me.
19:026:012 My foot standeth in an
even place: in the congregations will I
bless the LORD.
19:027:001 The LORD is my light
and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the
LORD is the strength of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
19:027:002 When the wicked, even
mine enemies and my foes, came upon me
to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
19:027:003 Though an host should
encamp against me, my heart shall not
fear: though war should
rise against me, in this will I be
confident.
19:027:004 One thing have I
desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the
house of the LORD all the days of my
life, to behold the
beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
temple.
19:027:005 For in the time of
trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
me up upon a rock.
19:027:006 And now shall mine head
be lifted up above mine enemies round
about me: therefore
will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy; I will sing,
yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
19:027:007 Hear, O LORD, when I
cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
me, and answer me.
19:027:008 When thou saidst, Seek
ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I
seek.
19:027:009 Hide not thy face far
from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been
my help; leave me not, neither forsake
me, O God of my
salvation.
19:027:010 When my father and my
mother forsake me, then the LORD will
take me up.
19:027:011 Teach me thy way, O
LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because
of mine enemies.
19:027:012 Deliver me not over
unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up
against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.
19:027:013 I had fainted, unless I
had believed to see the goodness of
the LORD in the land of
the living.
19:027:014 Wait on the LORD: be of
good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I
say, on the LORD.
19:028:001 Unto thee will I cry, O
LORD my rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if thou be silent
to me, I become like them that go down
into the pit.
19:028:002 Hear the voice of my
supplications, when I cry unto thee, when
I lift up my hands
toward thy holy oracle.
19:028:003 Draw me not away with
the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak
peace to their neighbours, but mischief
is in their hearts.
19:028:004 Give them according to
their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their
endeavours: give them after the work of
their hands; render to
them their desert.
19:028:005 Because they regard not
the works of the LORD, nor the
operation of his hands,
he shall destroy them, and not build
them up.
19:028:006 Blessed be the LORD,
because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.
19:028:007 The LORD is my strength
and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I
praise him.
19:028:008 The LORD is their
strength, and he is the saving strength of
his anointed.
19:028:009 Save thy people, and
bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for
ever.
19:029:001 Give unto the LORD, O
ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
strength.
19:029:002 Give unto the LORD the
glory due unto his name; worship the
LORD in the beauty of
holiness.
19:029:003 The voice of the LORD
is upon the waters: the God of glory
thundereth: the LORD is
upon many waters.
19:029:004 The voice of the LORD
is powerful; the voice of the LORD is
full of majesty.
19:029:005 The voice of the LORD
breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
breaketh the cedars of
Lebanon.
19:029:006 He maketh them also to
skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
like a young unicorn.
19:029:007 The voice of the LORD
divideth the flames of fire.
19:029:008 The voice of the LORD
shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh
the wilderness of
Kadesh.
19:029:009 The voice of the LORD
maketh the hinds to calve, and
discovereth the
forests: and in his temple doth every one
speak of his glory.
19:029:010 The LORD sitteth upon
the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King
for ever.
19:029:011 The LORD will give
strength unto his people; the LORD will
bless his people with
peace.
19:030:001 I will extol thee, O
LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and
hast not made my foes
to rejoice over me.
19:030:002 O LORD my God, I cried
unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
19:030:003 O LORD, thou hast
brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I
should not go down to the pit.
19:030:004 Sing unto the LORD, O
ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his
holiness.
19:030:005 For his anger endureth
but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for
a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
19:030:006 And in my prosperity I
said, I shall never be moved.
19:030:007 LORD, by thy favour
thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide
thy face, and I was troubled.
19:030:008 I cried to thee, O
LORD; and unto the LORD I made
supplication.
19:030:009 What profit is there in
my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise
thee? shall it declare thy truth?
19:030:010 Hear, O LORD, and have
mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
19:030:011 Thou hast turned for me
my mourning into dancing: thou hast
put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness;
19:030:012 To the end that my
glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God,
I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
19:031:001 In thee, O LORD, do I
put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy
righteousness.
19:031:002 Bow down thine ear to
me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
strong rock, for an
house of defence to save me.
19:031:003 For thou art my rock
and my fortress; therefore for thy name's
sake lead me, and guide
me.
19:031:004 Pull me out of the net
that they have laid privily for me: for
thou art my strength.
19:031:005 Into thine hand I
commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth.
19:031:006 I have hated them that
regard lying vanities: but I trust in
the LORD.
19:031:007 I will be glad and
rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble;
thou hast known my soul in adversities;
19:031:008 And hast not shut me up
into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a large
room.
19:031:009 Have mercy upon me, O
LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief,
yea, my soul and my belly.
19:031:010 For my life is spent
with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth
because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
consumed.
19:031:011 I was a reproach among
all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a
fear to mine acquaintance: they that did
see me without fled
from me.
19:031:012 I am forgotten as a
dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
19:031:013 For I have heard the
slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel
together against me, they devised to
take away my life.
19:031:014 But I trusted in thee,
O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
19:031:015 My times are in thy
hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them
that persecute me.
19:031:016 Make thy face to shine
upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies' sake.
19:031:017 Let me not be ashamed,
O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be
ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave.
19:031:018 Let the lying lips be
put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and
contemptuously against the righteous.
19:031:019 Oh how great is thy
goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which
thou hast wrought for them that trust in
thee before the sons of
men!
19:031:020 Thou shalt hide them in
the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou
shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
the strife of tongues.
19:031:021 Blessed be the LORD:
for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong
city.
19:031:022 For I said in my haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou
heardest the voice of my supplications when
I cried unto thee.
19:031:023 O love the LORD, all ye
his saints: for the LORD preserveth
the faithful, and
plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
19:031:024 Be of good courage, and
he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.
19:032:001 Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
19:032:002 Blessed is the man unto
whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit
there is no guile.
19:032:003 When I kept silence, my
bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.
19:032:004 For day and night thy
hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought
of summer. Selah.
19:032:005 I acknowledge my sin
unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will
confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou forgavest the
iniquity of my sin. Selah.
19:032:006 For this shall every
one that is godly pray unto thee in a
time when thou mayest
be found: surely in the floods of great
waters they shall not
come nigh unto him.
19:032:007 Thou art my hiding
place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me
about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
19:032:008 I will instruct thee
and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide
thee with mine eye.
19:032:009 Be ye not as the horse,
or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose
mouth must be held in with bit and
bridle, lest they come
near unto thee.
19:032:010 Many sorrows shall be
to the wicked: but he that trusteth in
the LORD, mercy shall
compass him about.
19:032:011 Be glad in the LORD,
and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are
upright in heart.
19:033:001 Rejoice in the LORD, O
ye righteous: for praise is comely for
the upright.
19:033:002 Praise the LORD with
harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and
an instrument of ten
strings.
19:033:003 Sing unto him a new
song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
19:033:004 For the word of the
LORD is right; and all his works are done
in truth.
19:033:005 He loveth righteousness
and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
19:033:006 By the word of the LORD
were the heavens made; and all the
host of them by the
breath of his mouth.
19:033:007 He gathereth the waters
of the sea together as an heap: he
layeth up the depth in
storehouses.
19:033:008 Let all the earth fear
the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
the world stand in awe
of him.
19:033:009 For he spake, and it
was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast.
19:033:010 The LORD bringeth the
counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of
the people of none effect.
19:033:011 The counsel of the LORD
standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all
generations.
19:033:012 Blessed is the nation
whose God is the LORD; and the people
whom he hath chosen for
his own inheritance.
19:033:013 The LORD looketh from
heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
men.
19:033:014 From the place of his
habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the
earth.
19:033:015 He fashioneth their
hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.
19:033:016 There is no king saved
by the multitude of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by
much strength.
19:033:017 An horse is a vain
thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great
strength.
19:033:018 Behold, the eye of the
LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his
mercy;
19:033:019 To deliver their soul
from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.
19:033:020 Our soul waiteth for
the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
19:033:021 For our heart shall
rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.
19:033:022 Let thy mercy, O LORD,
be upon us, according as we hope in
thee.
19:034:001 I will bless the LORD
at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my
mouth.
19:034:002 My soul shall make her
boast in the LORD: the humble shall
hear thereof, and be
glad.
19:034:003 O magnify the LORD with
me, and let us exalt his name
together.
19:034:004 I sought the LORD, and
he heard me, and delivered me from all
my fears.
19:034:005 They looked unto him,
and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
19:034:006 This poor man cried,
and the LORD heard him, and saved him out
of all his troubles.
19:034:007 The angel of the LORD
encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth
them.
19:034:008 O taste and see that
the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.
19:034:009 O fear the LORD, ye his
saints: for there is no want to them
that fear him.
19:034:010 The young lions do
lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want
any good thing.
19:034:011 Come, ye children,
hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.
19:034:012 What man is he that
desireth life, and loveth many days, that
he may see good?
19:034:013 Keep thy tongue from
evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
19:034:014 Depart from evil, and
do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
19:034:015 The eyes of the LORD
are upon the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
19:034:016 The face of the LORD is
against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them
from the earth.
19:034:017 The righteous cry, and
the LORD heareth, and delivereth them
out of all their
troubles.
19:034:018 The LORD is nigh unto
them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a
contrite spirit.
19:034:019 Many are the
afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of
them all.
19:034:020 He keepeth all his
bones: not one of them is broken.
19:034:021 Evil shall slay the
wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
19:034:022 The LORD redeemeth the
soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall
be desolate.
19:035:001 Plead my cause, O LORD,
with them that strive with me: fight
against them that fight
against me.
19:035:002 Take hold of shield and
buckler, and stand up for mine help.
19:035:003 Draw out also the
spear, and stop the way against them that
persecute me: say unto
my soul, I am thy salvation.
19:035:004 Let them be confounded
and put to shame that seek after my
soul: let them be
turned back and brought to confusion that
devise my hurt.
19:035:005 Let them be as chaff
before the wind: and let the angel of the
LORD chase them.
19:035:006 Let their way be dark
and slippery: and let the angel of the
LORD persecute them.
19:035:007 For without cause have
they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause
they have digged for my soul.
19:035:008 Let destruction come
upon him at unawares; and let his net
that he hath hid catch
himself: into that very destruction let
him fall.
19:035:009 And my soul shall be
joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in
his salvation.
19:035:010 All my bones shall say,
LORD, who is like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor
from him that is too strong for him, yea,
the poor and the needy
from him that spoileth him?
19:035:011 False witnesses did
rise up; they laid to my charge things
that I knew not.
19:035:012 They rewarded me evil
for good to the spoiling of my soul.
19:035:013 But as for me, when
they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
I humbled my soul with
fasting; and my prayer returned into
mine own bosom.
19:035:014 I behaved myself as
though he had been my friend or brother: I
bowed down heavily, as
one that mourneth for his mother.
19:035:015 But in mine adversity
they rejoiced, and gathered themselves
together: yea, the
abjects gathered themselves together
against me, and I knew
it not; they did tear me, and ceased
not:
19:035:016 With hypocritical
mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with
their teeth.
19:035:017 Lord, how long wilt
thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my
darling from the lions.
19:035:018 I will give thee thanks
in the great congregation: I will
praise thee among much
people.
19:035:019 Let not them that are
mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink
with the eye that hate me without a
cause.
19:035:020 For they speak not
peace: but they devise deceitful matters
against them that are
quiet in the land.
19:035:021 Yea, they opened their
mouth wide against me, and said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen
it.
19:035:022 This thou hast seen, O
LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not
far from me.
19:035:023 Stir up thyself, and
awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,
my God and my Lord.
19:035:024 Judge me, O LORD my
God, according to thy righteousness; and
let them not rejoice
over me.
19:035:025 Let them not say in
their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let
them not say, We have
swallowed him up.
19:035:026 Let them be ashamed and
brought to confusion together that
rejoice at mine hurt:
let them be clothed with shame and
dishonour that magnify
themselves against me.
19:035:027 Let them shout for joy,
and be glad, that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them
say continually, Let the LORD be
magnified, which hath
pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.
19:035:028 And my tongue shall
speak of thy righteousness and of thy
praise all the day
long.
19:036:001 The transgression of
the wicked saith within my heart, that
there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
19:036:002 For he flattereth
himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity
be found to be hateful.
19:036:003 The words of his mouth
are iniquity and deceit: he hath left
off to be wise, and to
do good.
19:036:004 He deviseth mischief
upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he
abhorreth not evil.
19:036:005 Thy mercy, O LORD, is
in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the
clouds.
19:036:006 Thy righteousness is
like the great mountains; thy judgments
are a great deep: O
LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
19:036:007 How excellent is thy
lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put
their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
19:036:008 They shall be
abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
house; and thou shalt
make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures.
19:036:009 For with thee is the
fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light.
19:036:010 O continue thy
lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
thy righteousness to
the upright in heart.
19:036:011 Let not the foot of
pride come against me, and let not the
hand of the wicked
remove me.
19:036:012 There are the workers
of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able
to rise.
19:037:001 Fret not thyself
because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
against the workers of
iniquity.
19:037:002 For they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb.
19:037:003 Trust in the LORD, and
do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou
shalt be fed.
19:037:004 Delight thyself also in
the LORD: and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.
19:037:005 Commit thy way unto the
LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.
19:037:006 And he shall bring
forth thy righteousness as the light, and
thy judgment as the
noonday.
19:037:007 Rest in the LORD, and
wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who
prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked
devices to pass.
19:037:008 Cease from anger, and
forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any
wise to do evil.
19:037:009 For evildoers shall be
cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall
inherit the earth.
19:037:010 For yet a little while,
and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently
consider his place, and it shall not be.
19:037:011 But the meek shall
inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the
abundance of peace.
19:037:012 The wicked plotteth
against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth.
19:037:013 The LORD shall laugh at
him: for he seeth that his day is
coming.
19:037:014 The wicked have drawn
out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor
and needy, and to slay such as be of
upright conversation.
19:037:015 Their sword shall enter
into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
19:037:016 A little that a
righteous man hath is better than the riches
of many wicked.
19:037:017 For the arms of the
wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the
righteous.
19:037:018 The LORD knoweth the
days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be
for ever.
19:037:019 They shall not be
ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be
satisfied.
19:037:020 But the wicked shall
perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall
be as the fat of lambs:
they shall consume; into smoke shall
they consume away.
19:037:021 The wicked borroweth,
and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and
giveth.
19:037:022 For such as be blessed
of him shall inherit the earth; and
they that be cursed of
him shall be cut off.
19:037:023 The steps of a good man
are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.
19:037:024 Though he fall, he
shall not be utterly cast down: for the
LORD upholdeth him with
his hand.
19:037:025 I have been young, and
now am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor
his seed begging bread.
19:037:026 He is ever merciful,
and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
19:037:027 Depart from evil, and
do good; and dwell for evermore.
19:037:028 For the LORD loveth
judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
they are preserved for
ever: but the seed of the wicked shall
be cut off.
19:037:029 The righteous shall
inherit the land, and dwell therein for
ever.
19:037:030 The mouth of the
righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
19:037:031 The law of his God is
in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
19:037:032 The wicked watcheth the
righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
19:037:033 The LORD will not leave
him in his hand, nor condemn him when
he is judged.
19:037:034 Wait on the LORD, and
keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when
the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see
it.
19:037:035 I have seen the wicked
in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
19:037:036 Yet he passed away,
and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him,
but he could not be
found.
19:037:037 Mark the perfect man,
and behold the upright: for the end of
that man is peace.
19:037:038 But the transgressors
shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut
off.
19:037:039 But the salvation of
the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of
trouble.
19:037:040 And the LORD shall help
them, and deliver them: he shall
deliver them from the
wicked, and save them, because they
trust in him.
19:038:001 O lord, rebuke me not
in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy
hot displeasure.
19:038:002 For thine arrows stick
fast in me, and thy hand presseth me
sore.
19:038:003 There is no soundness
in my flesh because of thine anger;
neither is there any
rest in my bones because of my sin.
19:038:004 For mine iniquities are
gone over mine head: as an heavy
burden they are too
heavy for me.
19:038:005 My wounds stink and are
corrupt because of my foolishness.
19:038:006 I am troubled; I am
bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the
day long.
19:038:007 For my loins are filled
with a loathsome disease: and there is
no soundness in my
flesh.
19:038:008 I am feeble and sore
broken: I have roared by reason of the
disquietness of my
heart.
19:038:009 Lord, all my desire is
before thee; and my groaning is not hid
from thee.
19:038:010 My heart panteth, my
strength faileth me: as for the light of
mine eyes, it also is
gone from me.
19:038:011 My lovers and my
friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
kinsmen stand afar off.
19:038:012 They also that seek
after my life lay snares for me: and they
that seek my hurt speak
mischievous things, and imagine
deceits all the day
long.
19:038:013 But I, as a deaf man,
heard not; and I was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth.
19:038:014 Thus I was as a man
that heareth not, and in whose mouth are
no reproofs.
19:038:015 For in thee, O LORD, do
I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
19:038:016 For I said, Hear me,
lest otherwise they should rejoice over
me: when my foot
slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
19:038:017 For I am ready to halt,
and my sorrow is continually before
me.
19:038:018 For I will declare mine
iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19:038:019 But mine enemies are
lively, and they are strong: and they
that hate me wrongfully
are multiplied.
19:038:020 They also that render
evil for good are mine adversaries;
because I follow the
thing that good is.
19:038:021 Forsake me not, O LORD:
O my God, be not far from me.
19:038:022 Make haste to help me,
O Lord my salvation.
19:039:001 I said, I will take
heed to my ways, that I sin not with my
tongue: I will keep my
mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
is before me.
19:039:002 I was dumb with
silence, I held my peace, even from good; and
my sorrow was stirred.
19:039:003 My heart was hot within
me, while I was musing the fire
burned: then spake I
with my tongue,
19:039:004 LORD, make me to know
mine end, and the measure of my days,
what it is: that I may
know how frail I am.
19:039:005 Behold, thou hast made
my days as an handbreadth; and mine age
is as nothing before
thee: verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity.
Selah.
19:039:006 Surely every man
walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he
heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who
shall gather them.
19:039:007 And now, Lord, what
wait I for? my hope is in thee.
19:039:008 Deliver me from all my
transgressions: make me not the
reproach of the
foolish.
19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened
not my mouth; because thou didst it.
19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away
from me: I am consumed by the blow of
thine hand.
19:039:011 When thou with rebukes
dost correct man for iniquity, thou
makest his beauty to
consume away like a moth: surely every
man is vanity. Selah.
19:039:012 Hear my prayer, O LORD,
and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for
I am a stranger with thee, and a
sojourner, as all my
fathers were.
19:039:013 O spare me, that I may
recover strength, before I go hence,
and be no more.
19:040:001 I waited patiently for
the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.
19:040:002 He brought me up also
out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings.
19:040:003 And he hath put a new
song in my mouth, even praise unto our
God: many shall see it,
and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
19:040:004 Blessed is that man
that maketh the LORD his trust, and
respecteth not the
proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
19:040:005 Many, O LORD my God,
are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done, and thy thoughts
which are to us-ward: they cannot be
reckoned up in order
unto thee: if I would declare and speak
of them, they are more
than can be numbered.
19:040:006 Sacrifice and offering
thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
thou opened: burnt
offering and sin offering hast thou not
required.
19:040:007 Then said I, Lo, I
come: in the volume of the book it is
written of me,
19:040:008 I delight to do thy
will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my
heart.
19:040:009 I have preached
righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my
lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
19:040:010 I have not hid thy
righteousness within my heart; I have
declared thy
faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
concealed thy
lovingkindness and thy truth from the great
congregation.
19:040:011 Withhold not thou thy
tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy
lovingkindness and thy
truth continually preserve me.
19:040:012 For innumerable evils
have compassed me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon
me, so that I am not able to look up;
they are more than the
hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
faileth me.
19:040:013 Be pleased, O LORD, to
deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
me.
19:040:014 Let them be ashamed and
confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let
them be driven backward and put to
shame that wish me
evil.
19:040:015 Let them be desolate
for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
19:040:016 Let all those that seek
thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let
such as love thy
salvation say continually, The LORD be
magnified.
19:040:017 But I am poor and
needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou
art my help and my
deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
19:041:001 Blessed is he that
considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.
19:041:002 The LORD will preserve
him, and keep him alive; and he shall
be blessed upon the
earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto
the will of his
enemies.
19:041:003 The LORD will
strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed
in his sickness.
19:041:004 I said, LORD, be
merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
sinned against thee.
19:041:005 Mine enemies speak evil
of me, When shall he die, and his name
perish?
19:041:006 And if he come to see
me, he speaketh vanity: his heart
gathereth iniquity to
itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth
it.
19:041:007 All that hate me
whisper together against me: against me do
they devise my hurt.
19:041:008 An evil disease, say
they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now
that he lieth he shall
rise up no more.
19:041:009 Yea, mine own familiar
friend, in whom I trusted, which did
eat of my bread, hath
lifted up his heel against me.
19:041:010 But thou, O LORD, be
merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
may requite them.
19:041:011 By this I know that
thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me.
19:041:012 And as for me, thou
upholdest me in mine integrity, and
settest me before thy
face for ever.
19:041:013 Blessed be the LORD God
of Israel from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and
Amen.
19:042:001 As the hart panteth
after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.
19:042:002 My soul thirsteth for
God, for the living God: when shall I
come and appear before
God?
19:042:003 My tears have been my
meat day and night, while they
continually say unto
me, Where is thy God?
19:042:004 When I remember these
things, I pour out my soul in me: for I
had gone with the
multitude, I went with them to the house of
God, with the voice of
joy and praise, with a multitude that
kept holyday.
19:042:005 Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
in me? hope thou in
God: for I shall yet praise him for the
help of his
countenance.
19:042:006 O my God, my soul is
cast down within me: therefore will I
remember thee from the
land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.
19:042:007 Deep calleth unto deep
at the noise of thy waterspouts: all
thy waves and thy
billows are gone over me.
19:042:008 Yet the LORD will
command his lovingkindness in the day time,
and in the night his
song shall be with me, and my prayer unto
the God of my life.
19:042:009 I will say unto God my
rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why
go I mourning because
of the oppression of the enemy?
19:042:010 As with a sword in my
bones, mine enemies reproach me; while
they say daily unto me,
Where is thy God?
19:042:011 Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in
God: for I shall yet praise him, who
is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
19:043:001 Judge me, O God, and
plead my cause against an ungodly nation:
O deliver me from the
deceitful and unjust man.
19:043:002 For thou art the God of
my strength: why dost thou cast me
off? why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
19:043:003 O send out thy light
and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy
hill, and to thy tabernacles.
19:043:004 Then will I go unto the
altar of God, unto God my exceeding
joy: yea, upon the harp
will I praise thee, O God my God.
19:043:005 Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God:
for I shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my
countenance, and my God.
19:044:001 We have heard with our
ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
what work thou didst in
their days, in the times of old.
19:044:002 How thou didst drive
out the heathen with thy hand, and
plantedst them; how
thou didst afflict the people, and cast
them out.
19:044:003 For they got not the
land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own
arm save them: but thy right hand, and
thine arm, and the
light of thy countenance, because thou
hadst a favour unto
them.
19:044:004 Thou art my King, O
God: command deliverances for Jacob.
19:044:005 Through thee will we
push down our enemies: through thy name
will we tread them
under that rise up against us.
19:044:006 For I will not trust in
my bow, neither shall my sword save
me.
19:044:007 But thou hast saved us
from our enemies, and hast put them to
shame that hated us.
19:044:008 In God we boast all the
day long, and praise thy name for
ever. Selah.
19:044:009 But thou hast cast off,
and put us to shame; and goest not
forth with our armies.
19:044:010 Thou makest us to turn
back from the enemy: and they which
hate us spoil for
themselves.
19:044:011 Thou hast given us like
sheep appointed for meat; and hast
scattered us among the
heathen.
19:044:012 Thou sellest thy people
for nought, and dost not increase thy
wealth by their price.
19:044:013 Thou makest us a
reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a
derision to them that
are round about us.
19:044:014 Thou makest us a byword
among the heathen, a shaking of the
head among the people.
19:044:015 My confusion is
continually before me, and the shame of my
face hath covered me,
19:044:016 For the voice of him
that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
reason of the enemy and
avenger.
19:044:017 All this is come upon
us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
neither have we dealt
falsely in thy covenant.
19:044:018 Our heart is not turned
back, neither have our steps declined
from thy way;
19:044:019 Though thou hast sore
broken us in the place of dragons, and
covered us with the
shadow of death.
19:044:020 If we have forgotten
the name of our God, or stretched out our
hands to a strange god;
19:044:021 Shall not God search
this out? for he knoweth the secrets of
the heart.
19:044:022 Yea, for thy sake are
we killed all the day long; we are
counted as sheep for
the slaughter.
19:044:023 Awake, why sleepest
thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for
ever.
19:044:024 Wherefore hidest thou
thy face, and forgettest our affliction
and our oppression?
19:044:025 For our soul is bowed
down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
unto the earth.
19:044:026 Arise for our help, and
redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
19:045:001 My heart is inditing a
good matter: I speak of the things
which I have made
touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a
ready writer.
19:045:002 Thou art fairer than
the children of men: grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God
hath blessed thee for ever.
19:045:003 Gird thy sword upon thy
thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory
and thy majesty.
19:045:004 And in thy majesty ride
prosperously because of truth and
meekness and
righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things.
19:045:005 Thine arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king's enemies;
whereby the people fall
under thee.
19:045:006 Thy throne, O God, is
for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom is a right
sceptre.
19:045:007 Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
God, thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.
19:045:008 All thy garments smell
of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of
the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad.
19:045:009 Kings' daughters were
among thy honourable women: upon thy
right hand did stand
the queen in gold of Ophir.
19:045:010 Hearken, O daughter,
and consider, and incline thine ear;
forget also thine own
people, and thy father's house;
19:045:011 So shall the king
greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy
Lord; and worship thou
him.
19:045:012 And the daughter of
Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the
rich among the people
shall intreat thy favour.
19:045:013 The king's daughter is
all glorious within: her clothing is of
wrought gold.
19:045:014 She shall be brought
unto the king in raiment of needlework:
the virgins her
companions that follow her shall be brought
unto thee.
19:045:015 With gladness and
rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall
enter into the king's
palace.
19:045:016 Instead of thy fathers
shall be thy children, whom thou mayest
make princes in all the
earth.
19:045:017 I will make thy name to
be remembered in all generations:
therefore shall the
people praise thee for ever and ever.
19:046:001 God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in
trouble.
19:046:002 Therefore will not we
fear, though the earth be removed, and
though the mountains be
carried into the midst of the sea;
19:046:003 Though the waters
thereof roar and be troubled, though the
mountains shake with
the swelling thereof. Selah.
19:046:004 There is a river, the
streams whereof shall make glad the city
of God, the holy place
of the tabernacles of the most High.
19:046:005 God is in the midst of
her; she shall not be moved: God shall
help her, and that
right early.
19:046:006 The heathen raged, the
kingdoms were moved: he uttered his
voice, the earth
melted.
19:046:007 The LORD of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
19:046:008 Come, behold the works
of the LORD, what desolations he hath
made in the earth.
19:046:009 He maketh wars to cease
unto the end of the earth; he breaketh
the bow, and cutteth
the spear in sunder; he burneth the
chariot in the fire.
19:046:010 Be still, and know that
I am God: I will be exalted among the
heathen, I will be
exalted in the earth.
19:046:011 The LORD of hosts is
with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
19:047:001 O clap your hands, all
ye people; shout unto God with the
voice of triumph.
19:047:002 For the LORD most high
is terrible; he is a great King over
all the earth.
19:047:003 He shall subdue the
people under us, and the nations under our
feet.
19:047:004 He shall choose our
inheritance for us, the excellency of
Jacob whom he loved.
Selah.
19:047:005 God is gone up with a
shout, the LORD with the sound of a
trumpet.
19:047:006 Sing praises to God,
sing praises: sing praises unto our King,
sing praises.
19:047:007 For God is the King of
all the earth: sing ye praises with
understanding.
19:047:008 God reigneth over the
heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of
his holiness.
19:047:009 The princes of the
people are gathered together, even the
people of the God of
Abraham: for the shields of the earth
belong unto God: he is
greatly exalted.
19:048:001 Great is the LORD, and
greatly to be praised in the city of
our God, in the
mountain of his holiness.
19:048:002 Beautiful for
situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount
Zion, on the sides of
the north, the city of the great King.
19:048:003 God is known in her
palaces for a refuge.
19:048:004 For, lo, the kings were
assembled, they passed by together.
19:048:005 They saw it, and so
they marvelled; they were troubled, and
hasted away.
19:048:006 Fear took hold upon
them there, and pain, as of a woman in
travail.
19:048:007 Thou breakest the ships
of Tarshish with an east wind.
19:048:008 As we have heard, so
have we seen in the city of the LORD of
hosts, in the city of
our God: God will establish it for ever.
Selah.
19:048:009 We have thought of thy
lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
thy temple.
19:048:010 According to thy name,
O God, so is thy praise unto the ends
of the earth: thy right
hand is full of righteousness.
19:048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice,
let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy
judgments.
19:048:012 Walk about Zion, and go
round about her: tell the towers
thereof.
19:048:013 Mark ye well her
bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may
tell it to the
generation following.
19:048:014 For this God is our God
for ever and ever: he will be our
guide even unto death.
19:049:001 Hear this, all ye
people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the
world:
19:049:002 Both low and high, rich
and poor, together.
19:049:003 My mouth shall speak of
wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
shall be of
understanding.
19:049:004 I will incline mine ear
to a parable: I will open my dark
saying upon the harp.
19:049:005 Wherefore should I fear
in the days of evil, when the iniquity
of my heels shall
compass me about?
19:049:006 They that trust in
their wealth, and boast themselves in the
multitude of their
riches;
19:049:007 None of them can by any
means redeem his brother, nor give to
God a ransom for him:
19:049:008 (For the redemption of
their soul is precious, and it ceaseth
for ever:)
19:049:009 That he should still
live for ever, and not see corruption.
19:049:010 For he seeth that wise
men die, likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish,
and leave their wealth to others.
19:049:011 Their inward thought
is, that their houses shall continue for
ever, and their
dwelling places to all generations; they call
their lands after their
own names.
19:049:012 Nevertheless man being
in honour abideth not: he is like the
beasts that perish.
19:049:013 This their way is their
folly: yet their posterity approve
their sayings. Selah.
19:049:014 Like sheep they are
laid in the grave; death shall feed on
them; and the upright
shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their
beauty shall consume in the grave from
their dwelling.
19:049:015 But God will redeem my
soul from the power of the grave: for
he shall receive me.
Selah.
19:049:016 Be not thou afraid when
one is made rich, when the glory of
his house is increased;
19:049:017 For when he dieth he
shall carry nothing away: his glory shall
not descend after him.
19:049:018 Though while he lived
he blessed his soul: and men will praise
thee, when thou doest
well to thyself.
19:049:019 He shall go to the
generation of his fathers; they shall never
see light.
19:049:020 Man that is in honour,
and understandeth not, is like the
beasts that perish.
19:050:001 The mighty God, even
the LORD, hath spoken, and called the
earth from the rising
of the sun unto the going down thereof.
19:050:002 Out of Zion, the
perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
19:050:003 Our God shall come, and
shall not keep silence: a fire shall
devour before him, and
it shall be very tempestuous round
about him.
19:050:004 He shall call to the
heavens from above, and to the earth,
that he may judge his
people.
19:050:005 Gather my saints
together unto me; those that have made a
covenant with me by
sacrifice.
19:050:006 And the heavens shall
declare his righteousness: for God is
judge himself. Selah.
19:050:007 Hear, O my people, and
I will speak; O Israel, and I will
testify against thee: I
am God, even thy God.
19:050:008 I will not reprove thee
for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
offerings, to have been
continually before me.
19:050:009 I will take no bullock
out of thy house, nor he goats out of
thy folds.
19:050:010 For every beast of the
forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.
19:050:011 I know all the fowls of
the mountains: and the wild beasts of
the field are mine.
19:050:012 If I were hungry, I
would not tell thee: for the world is
mine, and the fulness
thereof.
19:050:013 Will I eat the flesh of
bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
19:050:014 Offer unto God
thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most
High:
19:050:015 And call upon me in the
day of trouble: I will deliver thee,
and thou shalt glorify
me.
19:050:016 But unto the wicked God
saith, What hast thou to do to declare
my statutes, or that
thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
mouth?
19:050:017 Seeing thou hatest
instruction, and casteth my words behind
thee.
19:050:018 When thou sawest a
thief, then thou consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with
adulterers.
19:050:019 Thou givest thy mouth
to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
19:050:020 Thou sittest and
speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
19:050:021 These things hast thou
done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was
altogether such an one as thyself: but I
will reprove thee, and
set them in order before thine eyes.
19:050:022 Now consider this, ye
that forget God, lest I tear you in
pieces, and there be
none to deliver.
19:050:023 Whoso offereth praise
glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
his conversation aright
will I shew the salvation of God.
19:051:001 Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
19:051:002 Wash me throughly from
mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my
sin.
19:051:003 For I acknowledge my
transgressions: and my sin is ever before
me.
19:051:004 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.
19:051:005 Behold, I was shapen in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
19:051:006 Behold, thou desirest
truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt
make me to know wisdom.
19:051:007 Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
shall be whiter than
snow.
19:051:008 Make me to hear joy and
gladness; that the bones which thou
hast broken may
rejoice.
19:051:009 Hide thy face from my
sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
19:051:010 Create in me a clean
heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
19:051:011 Cast me not away from
thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
19:051:012 Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit.
19:051:013 Then will I teach
transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
19:051:014 Deliver me from
bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my
tongue shall sing aloud of thy
righteousness.
19:051:015 O Lord, open thou my
lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.
19:051:016 For thou desirest not
sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt
offering.
19:051:017 The sacrifices of God
are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.
19:051:018 Do good in thy good
pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls
of Jerusalem.
19:051:019 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.
19:052:001 Why boastest thou
thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the
goodness of God
endureth continually.
19:052:002 The tongue deviseth
mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
19:052:003 Thou lovest evil more
than good; and lying rather than to
speak righteousness.
Selah.
19:052:004 Thou lovest all
devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
19:052:005 God shall likewise
destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee
out of thy dwelling place, and root thee
out of the land of the
living. Selah.
19:052:006 The righteous also
shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
him:
19:052:007 Lo, this is the man
that made not God his strength; but
trusted in the
abundance of his riches, and strengthened
himself in his
wickedness.
19:052:008 But I am like a green
olive tree in the house of God: I trust
in the mercy of God for
ever and ever.
19:052:009 I will praise thee for
ever, because thou hast done it: and I
will wait on thy name;
for it is good before thy saints.
19:053:001 The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done
abominable iniquity: there is none that
doeth good.
19:053:002 God looked down from
heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that
did understand, that did seek God.
19:053:003 Every one of them is
gone back: they are altogether become
filthy; there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.
19:053:004 Have the workers of
iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat
bread: they have not called upon God.
19:053:005 There were they in
great fear, where no fear was: for God hath
scattered the bones of
|
