Book One: Psalms 1-41
Psa 1:1
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.Psa 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.Psa 1:3
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.Psa 1:4
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.Psa 1:5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.Psa 1:6
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.Psa 2:1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?Psa 2:2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,Psa 2:3
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.Psa 2:4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.Psa 2:5
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.Psa 2:6
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.Psa 2:7
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.Psa 2:8
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.Psa 2:9
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.Psa 2:10
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.Psa 2:11
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.Psa 2:12
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.Psa 3:1
<A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.> LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.Psa 3:2
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.Psa 3:3
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.Psa 3:4
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.Psa 3:5
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.Psa 3:6
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.Psa 3:7
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.Psa 3:8
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.Psa 4:1
<To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.> 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.Psa 4:2
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.Psa 4:3
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.Psa 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.Psa 4:5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.Psa 4:6
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.Psa 4:7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.Psa 4:8
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.Psa 5:1
<To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.> Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.Psa 5:2
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.Psa 5:3
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.Psa 5:4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.Psa 5:5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.Psa 5:6
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.Psa 5:7
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.Psa 5:8
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.Psa 5:9
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.Psa 5:10
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.Psa 5:11
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.Psa 5:12
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.Psa 6:1
<To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.> O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.Psa 6:2
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.Psa 6:3
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?Psa 6:4
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.Psa 6:5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?Psa 6:6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.Psa 6:7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.Psa 6:8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.Psa 6:9
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.Psa 6:10
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.Psa 7:1
<Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.> O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:Psa 7:2
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.Psa 7:3
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;Psa 7:4
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)Psa 7:5
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.Psa 7:6
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.Psa 7:7
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.Psa 7:8
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.Psa 7:9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.Psa 7:10
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.Psa 7:11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.Psa 7:12
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.Psa 7:13
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.Psa 7:14
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.Psa 7:15
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.Psa 7:16
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.Psa 7:17
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.Psa 8:1
<To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.> O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.Psa 8:2
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.Psa 8:3
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;Psa 8:4
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?Psa 8:5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.Psa 8:6
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:Psa 8:7
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;Psa 8:8
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.Psa 8:9
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!Psa 9:1
<To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.> I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.Psa 9:2
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.Psa 9:3
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.Psa 9:4
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.Psa 9:5
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.Psa 9:6
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.Psa 9:7
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.Psa 9:8
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.Psa 9:9
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.Psa 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.Psa 9:11
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.Psa 9:12
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.Psa 9:13
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:Psa 9:14
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.Psa 9:15
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.Psa 9:16
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.Psa 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.Psa 9:18
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.Psa 9:19
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.Psa 9:20
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.Psa 10:1
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?Psa 10:2
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.Psa 10:3
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.Psa 10:4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.Psa 10:5
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.Psa 10:6
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.Psa 10:7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.Psa 10:8
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.Psa 10:9
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.Psa 10:10
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.Psa 10:11
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.Psa 10:12
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.Psa 10:13
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.Psa 10:14
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.Psa 10:15
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.Psa 10:16
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.Psa 10:17
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:Psa 10:18
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.Psa 11:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?Psa 11:2
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.Psa 11:3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?Psa 11:4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.Psa 11:5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.Psa 11:6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.Psa 11:7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.Psa 12:1
<To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.> Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.Psa 12:2
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.Psa 12:3
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:Psa 12:4
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?Psa 12:5
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.Psa 12:6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.Psa 12:7
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.Psa 12:8
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.Psa 13:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?Psa 13:2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?Psa 13:3
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;Psa 13:4
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.Psa 13:5
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.Psa 13:6
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.Psa 14:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> 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.Psa 14:2
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.Psa 14:3
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.Psa 14:4
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.Psa 14:5
There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.Psa 14:6
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.Psa 14:7
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.Psa 15:1
<A Psalm of David.> LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?Psa 15:2
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.Psa 15:3
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.Psa 15:4
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.Psa 15:5
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.Psa 16:1
<Michtam of David.> Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.Psa 16:2
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;Psa 16:3
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.Psa 16:4
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.Psa 16:5
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.Psa 16:6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.Psa 16:7
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.Psa 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.Psa 16:9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.Psa 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.Psa 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.Psa 17:1
<A Prayer of David.> Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.Psa 17:2
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.Psa 17:3
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.Psa 17:4
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.Psa 17:5
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.Psa 17:6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.Psa 17:7
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.Psa 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,Psa 17:9
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.Psa 17:10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.Psa 17:11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;Psa 17:12
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.Psa 17:13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:Psa 17:14
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.Psa 17:15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.Psa 18:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,> I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.Psa 18:2
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.Psa 18:3
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.Psa 18:4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.Psa 18:5
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.Psa 18:6
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.Psa 18:7
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.Psa 18:8
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.Psa 18:9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.Psa 18:10
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.Psa 18:11
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.Psa 18:12
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.Psa 18:13
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.Psa 18:14
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.Psa 18:15
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.Psa 18:16
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.Psa 18:17
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.Psa 18:18
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.Psa 18:19
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.Psa 18:20
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.Psa 18:21
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.Psa 18:22
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.Psa 18:23
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.Psa 18:24
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.Psa 18:25
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;Psa 18:26
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.Psa 18:27
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.Psa 18:28
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.Psa 18:29
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.Psa 18:30
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.Psa 18:31
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?Psa 18:32
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.Psa 18:33
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.Psa 18:34
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.Psa 18:35
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.Psa 18:36
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.Psa 18:37
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.Psa 18:38
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.Psa 18:39
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.Psa 18:40
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.Psa 18:41
They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.Psa 18:42
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.Psa 18:43
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.Psa 18:44
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.Psa 18:45
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.Psa 18:46
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.Psa 18:47
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.Psa 18:48
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.Psa 18:49
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.Psa 18:50
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.Psa 19:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.Psa 19:2
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.Psa 19:3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.Psa 19:4
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,Psa 19:5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.Psa 19:6
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.Psa 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.Psa 19:8
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.Psa 19:9
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.Psa 19:10
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.Psa 19:11
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.Psa 19:12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.Psa 19:13
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.Psa 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.Psa 20:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;Psa 20:2
Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;Psa 20:3
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.Psa 20:4
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.Psa 20:5

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.Psa 21:5
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.Psa 21:6

For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.Psa 21:12
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.Psa 21:13
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.Psa 22:1

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.Psa 22:4
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.Psa 22:5
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.Psa 22:6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.Psa 22:7

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.Psa 22:9
But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.Psa 22:10

Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.Psa 22:12
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.Psa 22:13
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.Psa 22:14
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.Psa 22:15
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.Psa 22:16

I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.Psa 22:18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.Psa 22:19
But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.Psa 22:20
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.Psa 22:21
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.Psa 22:22
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.Psa 22:23
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.Psa 22:24

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.Psa 23:5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Psa 23:6
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.Psa 24:1
<A Psalm of David.> The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.Psa 24:2
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.Psa 24:3

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.Psa 24:5
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.Psa 24:6
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.Psa 24:7

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.Psa 26:8
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.Psa 26:9

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.Psa 27:5
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.Psa 27:6

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.Psa 28:3
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.Psa 28:4

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.Psa 30:4
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.Psa 30:5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.Psa 30:6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.Psa 30:7
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.Psa 30:8
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.Psa 30:9
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?Psa 30:10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.Psa 30:11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;Psa 30:12
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.Psa 31:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.Psa 31:2
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.Psa 31:3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.Psa 31:4
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.Psa 31:5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.Psa 31:6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.Psa 31:7

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.Psa 31:9
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.Psa 31:10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.Psa 31:11
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.Psa 31:12

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.Psa 31:14
But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.Psa 31:15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.Psa 31:16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.Psa 31:17

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.Psa 31:19
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!Psa 31:20
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.Psa 31:21
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.Psa 31:22

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.Psa 32:8
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.Psa 32:9

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.Psa 33:4
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.Psa 33:5
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.Psa 33:6

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.Psa 35:4
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.Psa 35:5
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.Psa 35:6
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.Psa 35:7

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.Psa 35:13
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.Psa 35:14
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.Psa 35:15

With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.Psa 35:17
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.Psa 35:18
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.Psa 35:19
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.Psa 35:20
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.Psa 35:21
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.Psa 35:22
This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.Psa 35:23
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.Psa 35:24
Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.Psa 35:25
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.Psa 35:26
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.Psa 35:27
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.Psa 35:28
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.Psa 36:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.> The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.Psa 36:2
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.Psa 36:3
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.Psa 36:4
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.Psa 36:5
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.Psa 36:6
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.Psa 36:7
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.Psa 36:8
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.Psa 36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.Psa 36:10
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.Psa 36:11
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.Psa 36:12
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.Psa 37:1
<A Psalm of David.> Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.Psa 37:2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.Psa 37:3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.Psa 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.Psa 37:5
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.Psa 37:6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.Psa 37:7
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.Psa 37:8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.Psa 37:9
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.Psa 37:10
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.Psa 37:11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.Psa 37:12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.Psa 37:13
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.Psa 37:14
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.Psa 37:15
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.Psa 37:16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.Psa 37:17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.Psa 37:18
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.Psa 37:19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.Psa 37:20
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.Psa 37:21
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.Psa 37:22
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.Psa 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.Psa 37:24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.Psa 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.Psa 37:26
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.Psa 37:27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.Psa 37:28
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.Psa 37:29
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.Psa 37:30
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.Psa 37:31
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.Psa 37:32
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.Psa 37:33
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.Psa 37:34
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.Psa 37:35
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.Psa 37:36
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.Psa 37:37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.Psa 37:38
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.Psa 37:39
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.Psa 37:40
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.Psa 38:1
<A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.> O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.Psa 38:2
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.Psa 38:3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.Psa 38:4
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.Psa 38:5
My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.Psa 38:6
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.Psa 38:7
For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.Psa 38:8
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.Psa 38:9
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.Psa 38:10
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.Psa 38:11
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.Psa 38:12
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.Psa 38:13
But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.Psa 38:14
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.Psa 38:15
For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.Psa 38:16
For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.Psa 38:17
For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.Psa 38:18
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.Psa 38:19
But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.Psa 38:20
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.Psa 38:21
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.Psa 38:22
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.Psa 39:1
<To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.> 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.Psa 39:2
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.Psa 39:3
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,Psa 39:4
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.Psa 39:5
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.Psa 39:6
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.Psa 39:7
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.Psa 39:8
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.Psa 39:9
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.Psa 39:10
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.Psa 39:11
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.Psa 39:12
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.Psa 39:13
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.Psa 40:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.Psa 40:2
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.Psa 40:3
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.Psa 40:4
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.Psa 40:5
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.Psa 40:6
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.Psa 40:7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,Psa 40:8
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.Psa 40:9
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.Psa 40:10
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.Psa 40:11
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.Psa 40:12
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.Psa 40:13
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.Psa 40:14
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.Psa 40:15
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.Psa 40:16
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.Psa 40:17
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.Psa 41:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.Psa 41:2
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.Psa 41:3
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.Psa 41:4
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.Psa 41:5
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?Psa 41:6
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.Psa 41:7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.Psa 41:8
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.Psa 41:9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.Psa 41:10
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.Psa 41:11
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.Psa 41:12
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.Psa 41:13
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
