The Book of Psalms
Part 2 (Psalms 76-150)
Psalm 76
76:1: In Judah is God known: his name is great in
Israel.
76:2: In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling
place in Zion.
76:3: There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield,
and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
76:4: Thou art more glorious and excellent than the
mountains of prey.
76:5: The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept
their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
76:6: At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot
and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
76:7: Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who
may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
76:8: Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from
heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
76:9: When God arose to judgment, to save all the
meek of the earth. Selah.
76:10: Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
76:11: Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all
that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to
be feared.
76:12: He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he
is terrible to the kings of the earth.
Psalm 77
77:1: I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God
with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
77:2: In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be
comforted.
77:3: I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained,
and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
77:4: Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled
that I cannot speak.
77:5: I have considered the days of old, the years
of ancient times.
77:6: I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
77:7: Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will
he be favourable no more?
77:8: Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his
promise fail for evermore?
77:9: Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he
in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
77:10: And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will
remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
77:11: I will remember the works of the LORD: surely
I will remember thy wonders of old.
77:12: I will meditate also of all thy work, and
talk of thy doings.
77:13: Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is
so great a God as our God?
77:14: Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou
hast declared thy strength among the people.
77:15: Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
77:16: The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw
thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
77:17: The clouds poured out water: the skies sent
out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
77:18: The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:
the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
77:19: Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the
great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
77:20: Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the
hand of Moses and Aaron.
Psalm 78
78:1: Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your
ears to the words of my mouth.
78:2: I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter
dark sayings of old:
78:3: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers
have told us.
78:4: We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and
his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5: For he established a testimony in Jacob, and
appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that
they should make them known to their children:
78:6: That the generation to come might know them,
even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare
them to their children:
78:7: That they might set their hope in God, and
not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
78:8: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn
and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart
aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
78:9: The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying
bows, turned back in the day of battle.
78:10: They kept not the covenant of God, and refused
to walk in his law;
78:11: And forgat his works, and his wonders that
he had shewed them.
78:12: Marvellous things did he in the sight of their
fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13: He divided the sea, and caused them to pass
through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14: In the daytime also he led them with a cloud,
and all the night with a light of fire.
78:15: He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and
gave them drink as out of the great depths.
78:16: He brought streams also out of the rock, and
caused waters to run down like rivers.
78:17: And they sinned yet more against him by provoking
the most High in the wilderness.
78:18: And they tempted God in their heart by asking
meat for their lust.
78:19: Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can
God furnish a table in the wilderness?
78:20: Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters
gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also?
can he provide flesh for his people?
78:21: Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth:
so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against
Israel;
78:22: Because they believed not in God, and trusted
not in his salvation:
78:23: Though he had commanded the clouds from above,
and opened the doors of heaven,
78:24: And had rained down manna upon them to eat,
and had given them of the corn of heaven.
78:25: Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat
to the full.
78:26: He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:
and by his power he brought in the south wind.
78:27: He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and
feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
78:28: And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,
round about their habitations.
78:29: So they did eat, and were well filled: for
he gave them their own desire;
78:30: They were not estranged from their lust.
But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
78:31: The wrath of God came upon them, and slew
the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
78:32: For all this they sinned still, and believed
not for his wondrous works.
78:33: Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,
and their years in trouble.
78:34: When he slew them, then they sought him: and
they returned and enquired early after God.
78:35: And they remembered that God was their rock,
and the high God their redeemer.
78:36: Nevertheless they did flatter him with their
mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
78:37: For their heart was not right with him, neither
were they stedfast in his covenant.
78:38: But he, being full of compassion, forgave
their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned
he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
78:39: For he remembered that they were but flesh;
a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
78:40: How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and grieve him in the desert!
78:41: Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and
limited the Holy One of Israel.
78:42: They remembered not his hand, nor the day
when he delivered them from the enemy.
78:43: How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and
his wonders in the field of Zoan:
78:44: And had turned their rivers into blood; and
their floods, that they could not drink.
78:45: He sent divers sorts of flies among them,
which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46: He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller,
and their labour unto the locust.
78:47: He destroyed their vines with hail, and their
sycomore trees with frost.
78:48: He gave up their cattle also to the hail,
and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
78:49: He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,
wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among
them.
78:50: He made a way to his anger; he spared not
their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51: And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the
chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52: But made his own people to go forth like sheep,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53: And he led them on safely, so that they feared
not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
78:54: And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
78:55: He cast out the heathen also before them,
and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of
Israel to dwell in their tents.
78:56: Yet they tempted and provoked the most high
God, and kept not his testimonies:
78:57: But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like
their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
78:58: For they provoked him to anger with their
high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
78:59: When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly
abhorred Israel:
78:60: So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which he placed among men;
78:61: And delivered his strength into captivity,
and his glory into the enemy's hand.
78:62: He gave his people over also unto the sword;
and was wroth with his inheritance.
78:63: The fire consumed their young men; and their
maidens were not given to marriage.
78:64: Their priests fell by the sword; and their
widows made no lamentation.
78:65: Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,
and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
78:66: And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts:
he put them to a perpetual reproach.
78:67: Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph,
and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
78:68: But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion
which he loved.
78:69: And he built his sanctuary like high palaces,
like the earth which he hath established for ever.
78:70: He chose David also his servant, and took
him from the sheepfolds:
78:71: From following the ewes great with young he
brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72: So he fed them according to the integrity
of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Psalm 79
79:1: O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance;
thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on
heaps.
79:2: The dead bodies of thy servants have they given
to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints
unto the beasts of the earth.
79:3: Their blood have they shed like water round
about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
79:4: We are become a reproach to our neighbours,
a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
79:5: How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever?
shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
79:6: Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have
not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon
thy name.
79:7: For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste
his dwelling place.
79:8: O remember not against us former iniquities:
let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought
very low.
79:9: Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory
of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy
name's sake.
79:10: Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is
their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by
the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
79:11: Let the sighing of the prisoner come before
thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those
that are appointed to die;
79:12: And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into
their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee,
O Lord.
79:13: So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture
will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise
to all generations.
Psalm 80
80:1: Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest
Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims,
shine forth.
80:2: Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir
up thy strength, and come and save us.
80:3: Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to
shine; and we shall be saved.
80:4: O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be
angry against the prayer of thy people?
80:5: Thou feedest them with the bread of tears;
and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
80:6: Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7: Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy
face to shine; and we shall be saved.
80:8: Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou
hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
80:9: Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause
it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
80:10: The hills were covered with the shadow of
it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
80:11: She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and
her branches unto the river.
80:12: Why hast thou then broken down her hedges,
so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13: The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and
the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
80:14: Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look
down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
80:15: And the vineyard which thy right hand hath
planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
80:16: It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they
perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
80:17: Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right
hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
80:18: So will not we go back from thee: quicken
us, and we will call upon thy name.
80:19: Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause
thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psalm 81
81:1: Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful
noise unto the God of Jacob.
81:2: Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel,
the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
81:3: Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the
time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
81:4: For this was a statute for Israel, and a law
of the God of Jacob.
81:5: This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony,
when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language
that I understood not.
81:6: I removed his shoulder from the burden: his
hands were delivered from the pots.
81:7: Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee;
I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee
at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
81:8: Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto
thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
81:9: There shall no strange god be in thee; neither
shalt thou worship any strange god.
81:10: I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee
out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill
it.
81:11: But my people would not hearken to my voice;
and Israel would none of me.
81:12: So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust:
and they walked in their own counsels.
81:13: Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and
Israel had walked in my ways!
81:14: I should soon have subdued their enemies,
and turned my hand against their adversaries.
81:15: The haters of the LORD should have submitted
themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
81:16: He should have fed them also with the finest
of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied
thee.
Psalm 82
82:1: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty;
he judgeth among the gods.
82:2: How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept
the persons of the wicked? Selah.
82:3: Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice
to the afflicted and needy.
82:4: Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of
the hand of the wicked.
82:5: They know not, neither will they understand;
they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are
out of course.
82:6: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are
children of the most High.
82:7: But ye shall die like men, and fall like one
of the princes.
82:8: Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt
inherit all nations.
Psalm 83
83:1: Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy
peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2: For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they
that hate thee have lifted up the head.
83:3: They have taken crafty counsel against thy
people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
83:4: They have said, Come, and let us cut them off
from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in
remembrance.
83:5: For they have consulted together with one consent:
they are confederate against thee:
83:6: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
83:7: Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines
with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8: Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen
the children of Lot. Selah.
83:9: Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to
Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung
for the earth.
83:11: Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses
of God in possession.
83:13: O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble
before the wind.
83:14: As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame
setteth the mountains on fire;
83:15: So persecute them with thy tempest, and make
them afraid with thy storm.
83:16: Fill their faces with shame; that they may
seek thy name, O LORD.
83:17: Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18: That men may know that thou, whose name alone
is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Psalm 84
84:1: How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of
hosts!
84:2: My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the
courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living
God.
84:3: Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the
swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even
thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
84:4: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they
will be still praising thee. Selah.
84:5: Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
in whose heart are the ways of them.
84:6: Who passing through the valley of Baca make
it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
84:7: They go from strength to strength, every one
of them in Zion appeareth before God.
84:8: O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear,
O God of Jacob. Selah.
84:9: Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the
face of thine anointed.
84:10: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to
dwell in the tents of wickedness.
84:11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the
LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly.
84:12: O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth
in thee.
Psalm 85
85:1: LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land:
thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
85:2: Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people,
thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
85:3: Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast
turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
85:4: Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause
thine anger toward us to cease.
85:5: Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt
thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
85:6: Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people
may rejoice in thee?
85:7: Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy
salvation.
85:8: I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for
he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let
them not turn again to folly.
85:9: Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear
him; that glory may dwell in our land.
85:10: Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness
and peace have kissed each other.
85:11: Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness
shall look down from heaven.
85:12: Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
and our land shall yield her increase.
85:13: Righteousness shall go before him; and shall
set us in the way of his steps.
Psalm 86
86:1: Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I
am poor and needy.
86:2: Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my
God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
86:3: Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto
thee daily.
86:4: Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee,
O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
86:5: For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
86:6: Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend
to the voice of my supplications.
86:7: In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
for thou wilt answer me.
86:8: Among the gods there is none like unto thee,
O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
86:9: All nations whom thou hast made shall come
and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
86:10: For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
thou art God alone.
86:11: Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy
truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
86:12: I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all
my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
86:13: For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou
hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
86:14: O God, the proud are risen against me, and
the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have
not set thee before them.
86:15: But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion,
and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
86:16: O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give
thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
86:17: Shew me a token for good; that they which
hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen
me, and comforted me.
Psalm 87
87:1: His foundation is in the holy mountains.
87:2: The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than
all the dwellings of Jacob.
87:3: Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city
of God. Selah.
87:4: I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to
them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
87:5: And of Zion it shall be said, This and that
man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
87:6: The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the
people, that this man was born there. Selah.
87:7: As well the singers as the players on instruments
shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
Psalm 88
88:1: O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day
and night before thee:
88:2: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine
ear unto my cry;
88:3: For my soul is full of troubles: and my life
draweth nigh unto the grave.
88:4: I am counted with them that go down into the
pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
88:5: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie
in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut
off from thy hand.
88:6: Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness,
in the deeps.
88:7: Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast
afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
88:8: Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from
me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up,
and I cannot come forth.
88:9: Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction:
LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands
unto thee.
88:10: Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall
the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
88:11: Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the
grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
88:12: Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and
thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
88:13: But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in
the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
88:14: LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest
thou thy face from me?
88:15: I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth
up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16: Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors
have cut me off.
88:17: They came round about me daily like water;
they compassed me about together.
88:18: Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,
and mine acquaintance into darkness.
Psalm 89
89:1: I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for
ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all
generations.
89:2: For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for
ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
89:3: I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have
sworn unto David my servant,
89:4: Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build
up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
89:5: And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O
LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
89:6: For who in the heaven can be compared unto
the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto
the LORD?
89:7: God is greatly to be feared in the assembly
of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are
about him.
89:8: O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like
unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
89:9: Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the
waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
89:10: Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that
is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
89:11: The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:
as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

and high is thy right hand.

One of Israel is our king.
89:19: Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one,
and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted
one chosen out of the people.
89:20: I have found David my servant; with my holy
oil have I anointed him:
89:21: With whom my hand shall be established: mine
arm also shall strengthen him.

son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23: And I will beat down his foes before his face,
and plague them that hate him.
89:24: But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be
with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25: I will set his hand also in the sea, and his
right hand in the rivers.
89:26: He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father,
my God, and the rock of my salvation.

in my judgments;

commandments;

the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

thing that is gone out of my lips.

not lie unto David.

as the sun before me.

and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38: But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou
hast been wroth with thine anointed.
89:39: Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant:
thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
89:40: Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou
hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
89:41: All that pass by the way spoil him: he is
a reproach to his neighbours.
89:42: Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;
thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43: Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword,
and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
89:44: Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast
his throne down to the ground.
89:45: The days of his youth hast thou shortened:
thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
89:46: How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for
ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
89:47: Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast
thou made all men in vain?
89:48: What man is he that liveth, and shall not
see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?
Selah.
89:49: Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses,
which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
89:50: Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;
how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
89:51: Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O
LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
89:52: Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and
Amen.

to everlasting, thou art God.

Return, ye children of men.

are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth
up.

thy wrath are we troubled.

secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

we spend our years as a tale that is told.

and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off,
and we fly away.

according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
90:12: So teach us to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom.

thee concerning thy servants.

may rejoice and be glad all our days.

thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea,
the work of our hands establish thou it.

of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
91:4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and
under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
91:5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by
night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
91:6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known
my name.
91:15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour
him.

LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

92:3: Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

are very deep.

neither will he forsake his inheritance.

and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

had almost dwelt in silence.

O LORD, held me up.

thy comforts delight my soul.

with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

loose those that are appointed to death;

and his praise in Jerusalem;

the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt
thou change them, and they shall be changed:

have no end.

and their seed shall be established before thee.

hath he removed our transgressions from us.

that we are dust.

of the field, so he flourisheth.
103:16: For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
and the place thereof shall know it no more.

to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness
unto children's children;

that remember his commandments to do them.

heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

of his word.

of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

104:1: Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God,
thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the
waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the
wings of the wind:
104:4: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers
a flaming fire:
104:5: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that
it should not be removed for ever.
104:6: Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a
garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7: At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy
thunder they hasted away.
104:8: They go up by the mountains; they go down
by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9: Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass
over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10: He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
which run among the hills.
104:11: They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.

their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:13: He watereth the hills from his chambers:
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
104:14: He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food
out of the earth;
104:15: And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth
man's heart.
104:16: The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the
cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
104:17: Where the birds make their nests: as for
the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:18: The high hills are a refuge for the wild
goats; and the rocks for the conies.
104:19: He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun
knoweth his going down.
104:20: Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein
all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

and lay them down in their dens.
104:23: Man goeth forth unto his work and to his
labour until the evening.
104:24: O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom
hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
104:25: So is this great and wide sea, wherein are
things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26: There go the shi there is that leviathan,
whom thou hast made to play therein.
104:27: These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest
give them their meat in due season.
104:28: That thou givest them they gather: thou openest
thine hand, they are filled with good.
104:29: Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:30: Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth.
104:31: The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever:
the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
104:32: He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

be glad in the LORD.

Psalm 105
105:1: O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his
name: make known his deeds among the people.

ye of all his wondrous works.
105:3: Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of
them rejoice that seek the LORD.
105:4: Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his
face evermore.
105:5: Remember his marvellous works that he hath
done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
105:6: O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children
of Jacob his chosen.
105:7: He is the LORD our God: his judgments are
in all the earth.
105:8: He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
105:9: Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his
oath unto Isaac;
105:10: And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
105:11: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of
Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
105:12: When they were but a few men in number; yea,
very few, and strangers in it.
105:13: When they went from one nation to another,
from one kingdom to another people;
105:14: He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea,
he reproved kings for their sakes;
105:15: Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my
prophets no harm.
105:16: Moreover he called for a famine upon the
land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
105:17: He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who
was sold for a servant:
105:18: Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was
laid in iron:
105:19: Until the time that his word came: the word
of the LORD tried him.
105:20: The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler
of the people, and let him go free.
105:21: He made him lord of his house, and ruler
of all his substance:
105:22: To bind his princes at his pleasure; and
teach his senators wisdom.
105:23: Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned
in the land of Ham.
105:24: And he increased his people greatly; and
made them stronger than their enemies.
105:25: He turned their heart to hate his people,
to deal subtilly with his servants.
105:26: He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom
he had chosen.
105:27: They shewed his signs among them, and wonders
in the land of Ham.
105:28: He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they
rebelled not against his word.
105:29: He turned their waters into blood, and slew
their fish.
105:30: Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
in the chambers of their kings.
105:31: He spake, and there came divers sorts of
flies, and lice in all their coasts.
105:32: He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire
in their land.
105:33: He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
and brake the trees of their coasts.
105:34: He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers,
and that without number,
105:35: And did eat up all the herbs in their land,
and devoured the fruit of their ground.
105:36: He smote also all the firstborn in their
land, the chief of all their strength.
105:37: He brought them forth also with silver and
gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
105:38: Egypt was glad when they departed: for the
fear of them fell upon them.
105:39: He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire
to give light in the night.
105:40: The people asked, and he brought quails,
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
105:41: He opened the rock, and the waters gushed
out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
105:42: For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham
his servant.
105:43: And he brought forth his people with joy,
and his chosen with gladness:
105:44: And gave them the lands of the heathen: and
they inherited the labour of the people;
105:45: That they might observe his statutes, and
keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 106
106:1: Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the
LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2: Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?
who can shew forth all his praise?
106:3: Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he
that doeth righteousness at all times.
106:4: Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that
thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
106:5: That I may see the good of thy chosen, that
I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory
with thine inheritance.
106:6: We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed
iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:7: Our fathers understood not thy wonders in
Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked
him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
106:8: Nevertheless he saved them for his name's
sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
106:9: He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:10: And he saved them from the hand of him that
hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11: And the waters covered their enemies: there
was not one of them left.
106:12: Then believed they his words; they sang his
praise.
106:13: They soon forgat his works; they waited not
for his counsel:
106:14: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
and tempted God in the desert.
106:15: And he gave them their request; but sent
leanness into their soul.
106:16: They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron
the saint of the LORD.
106:17: The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
106:18: And a fire was kindled in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
106:19: They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped
the molten image.
106:20: Thus they changed their glory into the similitude
of an ox that eateth grass.
106:21: They forgat God their saviour, which had
done great things in Egypt;
106:22: Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible
things by the Red sea.
106:23: Therefore he said that he would destroy them,
had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn
away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
106:24: Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not his word:
106:25: But murmured in their tents, and hearkened
not unto the voice of the LORD.
106:26: Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,
to overthrow them in the wilderness:
106:27: To overthrow their seed also among the nations,
and to scatter them in the lands.
106:28: They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
106:29: Thus they provoked him to anger with their
inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
106:30: Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
and so the plague was stayed.
106:31: And that was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all generations for evermore.
106:32: They angered him also at the waters of strife,
so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
106:33: Because they provoked his spirit, so that
he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
106:34: They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the LORD commanded them:
106:35: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned
their works.
106:36: And they served their idols: which were a
snare unto them.
106:37: Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their
daughters unto devils,
106:38: And shed innocent blood, even the blood of
their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the
idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
106:39: Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and went a whoring with their own inventions.
106:40: Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled
against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
106:41: And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;
and they that hated them ruled over them.
106:42: Their enemies also oppressed them, and they
were brought into subjection under their hand.
106:43: Many times did he deliver them; but they
provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their
iniquity.
106:44: Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,
when he heard their cry:
106:45: And he remembered for them his covenant,
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
106:46: He made them also to be pitied of all those
that carried them captives.
106:47: Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from
among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph
in thy praise.
106:48: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting
to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalm 107
107:1: O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
107:2: Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom
he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
107:3: And gathered them out of the lands, from the
east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
107:4: They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary
way; they found no city to dwell in.
107:5: Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in
them.
107:6: Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them out of their distresses.
107:7: And he led them forth by the right way, that
they might go to a city of habitation.
107:8: Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:9: For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth
the hungry soul with goodness.
107:10: Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
107:11: Because they rebelled against the words of
God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
107:12: Therefore he brought down their heart with
labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
107:13: Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them out of their distresses.
107:14: He brought them out of darkness and the shadow
of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
107:15: Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:16: For he hath broken the gates of brass, and
cut the bars of iron in sunder.
107:17: Fools because of their transgression, and
because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
107:18: Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat;
and they draw near unto the gates of death.
107:19: Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he saveth them out of their distresses.
107:20: He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered
them from their destructions.
107:21: Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:22: And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of
thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
107:23: They that go down to the sea in ships, that
do business in great waters;
107:24: These see the works of the LORD, and his
wonders in the deep.
107:25: For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy
wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
107:26: They mount up to the heaven, they go down
again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
107:27: They reel to and fro, and stagger like a
drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
107:28: Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,
and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
107:29: He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves
thereof are still.
107:30: Then are they glad because they be quiet;
so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
107:31: Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
107:32: Let them exalt him also in the congregation
of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
107:33: He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and
the watersprings into dry ground;
107:34: A fruitful land into barrenness, for the
wickedness of them that dwell therein.
107:35: He turneth the wilderness into a standing
water, and dry ground into watersprings.
107:36: And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
that they may prepare a city for habitation;
107:37: And sow the fields, and plant vineyards,
which may yield fruits of increase.
107:38: He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied
greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
107:39: Again, they are minished and brought low
through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
107:40: He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth
them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
107:41: Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
and maketh him families like a flock.
107:42: The righteous shall see it, and rejoice:
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
107:43: Whoso is wise, and will observe these things,
even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

and thy glory above all the earth;
108:6: That thy beloved may be delivered: save with
thy right hand, and answer me.

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
108:8: Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim
also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
108:9: Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast
out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
108:10: Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
108:11: Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
108:12: Give us help from trouble: for vain is the
help of man.
108:13: Through God we shall do valiantly: for he
it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Psalm 109
109:1: Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
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.
109:3: They compassed me about also with words of
hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
109:4: For my love they are my adversaries: but I
give myself unto prayer.
109:5: And they have rewarded me evil for good, and
hatred for my love.
109:6: Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan
stand at his right hand.
109:7: When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:
and let his prayer become sin.
109:8: Let his days be few; and let another take
his office.
109:9: Let his children be fatherless, and his wife
a widow.
109:10: Let his children be continually vagabonds,
and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate
places.
109:11: Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labour.
109:12: Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:
neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
109:13: Let his posterity be cut off; and in the
generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:14: Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered
with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15: Let them be before the LORD continually,
that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
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.
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.
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.
109:19: Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth
him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
109:20: Let this be the reward of mine adversaries
from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
109:21: But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy
name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
109:22: For I am poor and needy, and my heart is
wounded within me.
109:23: I am gone like the shadow when it declineth:
I am tossed up and down as the locust.
109:24: My knees are weak through fasting; and my
flesh faileth of fatness.
109:25: I became also a reproach unto them: when
they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
109:26: Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according
to thy mercy:
109:27: That they may know that this is thy hand;
that thou, LORD, hast done it.
109:28: Let them curse, but bless thou: when they
arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
109:29: Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame,
and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with
a mantle.
109:30: I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
109:31: For he shall stand at the right hand of the
poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

shall he lift up the head.

works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

done in truth and uprightness.

darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

will guide his affairs with discretion.

righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
112:8: His heart is established, he shall not be
afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted
with honour.

he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the
wicked shall perish.

on high,

hills like lambs.

thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

ye little hills, like lambs?

Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
114:8: Which turned the rock into a standing water,
the flint into a fountain of waters.
