Book Five: Psalms 107-150
Psa 107:1
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 107:2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;Psa 107:3
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.Psa 107:4
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.Psa 107:5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.Psa 107:6
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.Psa 107:7
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.Psa 107:8
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!Psa 107:9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.Psa 107:10
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;Psa 107:11
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:Psa 107:12
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.Psa 107:13
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.Psa 107:14
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.Psa 107:15
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!Psa 107:16
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.Psa 107:17
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.Psa 107:18
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.Psa 107:19
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.Psa 107:20
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.Psa 107:21
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!Psa 107:22
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.Psa 107:23
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;Psa 107:24
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.Psa 107:25
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.Psa 107:26
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.Psa 107:27
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.Psa 107:28
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.Psa 107:29
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.Psa 107:30
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.Psa 107:31
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!Psa 107:32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.Psa 107:33
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;Psa 107:34
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.Psa 107:35
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.Psa 107:36
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;Psa 107:37
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.Psa 107:38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.Psa 107:39
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.Psa 107:40
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.Psa 107:41
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.Psa 107:42
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.Psa 107:43
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.Psa 108:1
<A Song or Psalm of David.> O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.Psa 108:2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.Psa 108:3
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.Psa 108:4
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.Psa 108:5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;Psa 108:6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.Psa 108:7
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.Psa 108:8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;Psa 108:9
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.Psa 108:10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?Psa 108:11
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?Psa 108:12
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.Psa 108:13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.Psa 109:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;Psa 109:2
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.Psa 109:3
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.Psa 109:4
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.Psa 109:5
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.Psa 109:6
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.Psa 109:7
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.Psa 109:8
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.Psa 109:9
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.Psa 109:10
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.Psa 109:11
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.Psa 109:12
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.Psa 109:13
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.Psa 109:14
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.Psa 109:15
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.Psa 109:16
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.Psa 109:17
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.Psa 109:18
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.Psa 109:19
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.Psa 109:20
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.Psa 109:21
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.Psa 109:22
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.Psa 109:23
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.Psa 109:24
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.Psa 109:25
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.Psa 109:26
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:Psa 109:27
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.Psa 109:28
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.Psa 109:29
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.Psa 109:30
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.Psa 109:31
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.Psa 110:1
<A Psalm of David.> The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.Psa 110:2
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.Psa 110:3
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.Psa 110:4
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.Psa 110:5
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.Psa 110:6
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.Psa 110:7
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.Psa 111:1
Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.Psa 111:2
The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.Psa 111:3
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.Psa 111:4
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.Psa 111:5
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.Psa 111:6
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.Psa 111:7
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.Psa 111:8
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.Psa 111:9
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.Psa 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.Psa 112:1
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.Psa 112:2
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.Psa 112:3
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.Psa 112:4
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.Psa 112:5
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.Psa 112:6
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.Psa 112:7
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.Psa 112:8
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.Psa 112:9
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.Psa 112:10
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.Psa 113:1
Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.Psa 113:2
Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.Psa 113:3
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.Psa 113:4
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.Psa 113:5
Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,Psa 113:6
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!Psa 113:7
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;Psa 113:8
That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.Psa 113:9
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.Psa 114:1
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;Psa 114:2
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.Psa 114:3
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.Psa 114:4
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.Psa 114:5
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?Psa 114:6
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?Psa 114:7
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;Psa 114:8
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.Psa 115:1
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.Psa 115:2
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?Psa 115:3
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.Psa 115:4
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.Psa 115:5
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:Psa 115:6
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:Psa 115:7
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.Psa 115:8
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.Psa 115:9
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.Psa 115:10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.Psa 115:11
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.Psa 115:12
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.Psa 115:13
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.Psa 115:14
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.Psa 115:15
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.Psa 115:16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.Psa 115:17
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.Psa 115:18
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.Psa 116:1
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.Psa 116:2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.Psa 116:3
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.Psa 116:4
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.Psa 116:5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.Psa 116:6
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.Psa 116:7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.Psa 116:8
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.Psa 116:9
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.Psa 116:10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:Psa 116:11
I said in my haste, All men are liars.Psa 116:12
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?Psa 116:13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.Psa 116:14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.Psa 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.Psa 116:16
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.Psa 116:17
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.Psa 116:18
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,Psa 116:19
In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.Psa 117:1
O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.Psa 117:2
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.Psa 118:1
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 118:2
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 118:3
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 118:4
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 118:5
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.Psa 118:6
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?Psa 118:7
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.Psa 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.Psa 118:9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.Psa 118:10
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.Psa 118:11
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.Psa 118:12
They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.Psa 118:13
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.Psa 118:14
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.Psa 118:15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.Psa 118:16
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.Psa 118:17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.Psa 118:18
The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.Psa 118:19
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:Psa 118:20
This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.Psa 118:21
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.Psa 118:22
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.Psa 118:23
This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.Psa 118:24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.Psa 118:25
Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.Psa 118:26
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.Psa 118:27
God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.Psa 118:28
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.Psa 118:29
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 119:1
ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.Psa 119:2
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.Psa 119:3
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.Psa 119:4
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.Psa 119:5
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!Psa 119:6
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.Psa 119:7
I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.Psa 119:8
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.Psa 119:9
BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.Psa 119:10
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.Psa 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.Psa 119:12
Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.Psa 119:13
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.Psa 119:14
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.Psa 119:15
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.Psa 119:16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.Psa 119:17
GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.Psa 119:18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.Psa 119:19
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.Psa 119:20
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.Psa 119:21
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.Psa 119:22
Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.Psa 119:23
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.Psa 119:24
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.Psa 119:25
DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.Psa 119:26
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.Psa 119:27
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.Psa 119:28
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.Psa 119:29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.Psa 119:30
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.Psa 119:31
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.Psa 119:32
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.Psa 119:33
HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.Psa 119:34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.Psa 119:35
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.Psa 119:36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.Psa 119:37
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.Psa 119:38
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.Psa 119:39
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.Psa 119:40
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.Psa 119:41
VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.Psa 119:42
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.Psa 119:43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.Psa 119:44
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.Psa 119:45
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.Psa 119:46
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.Psa 119:47
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.Psa 119:48
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.Psa 119:49
ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.Psa 119:50
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.Psa 119:51
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.Psa 119:52
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.Psa 119:53
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.Psa 119:54
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.Psa 119:55
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.Psa 119:56
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.Psa 119:57
CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.Psa 119:58
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.Psa 119:59
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.Psa 119:60
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.Psa 119:61
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.Psa 119:62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.Psa 119:63
I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.Psa 119:64
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.Psa 119:65
TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.Psa 119:66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.Psa 119:67
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.Psa 119:68
Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.Psa 119:69
The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.Psa 119:70
Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.Psa 119:71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.Psa 119:72
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.Psa 119:73
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.Psa 119:74
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.Psa 119:75
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.Psa 119:76

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?Psa 120:4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.Psa 120:5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!Psa 120:6

<A Song of degrees of David.> I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.Psa 122:2
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.Psa 122:3
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:Psa 122:4
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.Psa 122:5
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.Psa 122:6

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.Psa 123:1
<A Song of degrees.> Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.Psa 123:2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.Psa 123:3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.Psa 123:4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.Psa 124:1
<A Song of degrees of David.> If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;Psa 124:2
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:Psa 124:3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:Psa 124:4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:Psa 124:5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.Psa 124:6

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.Psa 125:4
Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.Psa 125:5
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.Psa 126:1
<A Song of degrees.> When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.Psa 126:2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.Psa 126:3
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.Psa 126:4
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.Psa 126:5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.Psa 126:6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.Psa 127:1
<A Song of degrees for Solomon.> Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.Psa 127:2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.Psa 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.Psa 127:4
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.Psa 127:5
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.Psa 128:1

<A Song of degrees.> Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:Psa 129:2
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.Psa 129:3
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.Psa 129:4
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.Psa 129:5
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.Psa 129:6
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:Psa 129:7
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.Psa 129:8
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.Psa 130:1
<A Song of degrees.> Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.Psa 130:2
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.Psa 130:3
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?Psa 130:4
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.Psa 130:5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.Psa 130:6
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.Psa 130:7
Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.Psa 130:8
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.Psa 131:1
<A Song of degrees of David.> LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.Psa 131:2
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.Psa 131:3
Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.Psa 132:1
A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:Psa 132:2
How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;Psa 132:3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;Psa 132:4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,Psa 132:5
Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.Psa 132:6
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.Psa 132:7
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.Psa 132:8
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.Psa 132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.Psa 132:10
For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.Psa 132:11
The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.Psa 132:12
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.Psa 132:13
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.Psa 132:14
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.Psa 132:15
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.Psa 132:16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.Psa 132:17
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.Psa 132:18
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.Psa 133:1
<A Song of degrees of David.> Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!Psa 133:2
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;Psa 133:3
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.Psa 134:1
<A Song of degrees.> Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.Psa 134:2
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.Psa 134:3
The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.Psa 135:1
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.Psa 135:2
Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,Psa 135:3
Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.Psa 135:4
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.Psa 135:5
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.Psa 135:6
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.Psa 135:7
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.Psa 135:8
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.Psa 135:9
Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.Psa 135:10
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;Psa 135:11
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:Psa 135:12
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.Psa 135:13
Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.Psa 135:14
For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.Psa 135:15
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.Psa 135:16
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;Psa 135:17
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.Psa 135:18
They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.Psa 135:19
Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:Psa 135:20
Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.Psa 135:21
Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.Psa 136:1

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:7
To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:8
The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:9
The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:10
To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:11
And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:12
With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:13
To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:14
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:15
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:16
To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:17
To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:18

Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:20
And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:21
And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:22
Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:23
Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:Psa 136:24
And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:25
Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 136:26
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.Psa 137:1
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.Psa 137:2
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.Psa 137:3
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.Psa 137:4
How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?Psa 137:5
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.Psa 137:6
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.Psa 137:7
Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.Psa 137:8
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.Psa 137:9
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.Psa 138:1
<A Psalm of David.> I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.Psa 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.Psa 138:3
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.Psa 138:4
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.Psa 138:5
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.Psa 138:6
Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.Psa 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.Psa 138:8
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.Psa 139:1
<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.> O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.Psa 139:2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.Psa 139:3
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.Psa 139:4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.Psa 139:5
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.Psa 139:6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.Psa 139:7
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?Psa 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.Psa 139:9

I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.Psa 139:23

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.Psa 143:4
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.Psa 143:5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.Psa 143:6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.Psa 143:7
