Chapter III: Part 3
19:064:004 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they
shoot at him, and fear not.
19:064:005 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of
laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
19:064:006 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search:
both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart,
is deep.
19:064:007 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they
be wounded.
19:064:008 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
all that see them shall flee away.
19:064:009 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for
they shall wisely consider of his doing.
19:064:010 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in
him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
19:065:001 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
the vow be performed.
19:065:002 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
19:065:003 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou
shalt purge them away.
19:065:004 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be
satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy
temple.
19:065:005 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God
of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of
the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
19:065:006 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded
with power:
19:065:007 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves, and the tumult of the people.
19:065:008 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy
tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening
to rejoice.
19:065:009 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
19:065:010 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the
furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou
blessest the springing thereof.
19:065:011 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop
fatness.
19:065:012 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little
hills rejoice on every side.
19:065:013 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
19:066:001 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
19:066:002 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
19:066:003 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves
unto thee.
19:066:004 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee;
they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
19:066:005 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing
toward the children of men.
19:066:006 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood
on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
19:066:007 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
19:066:008 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise
to be heard:
19:066:009 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to
be moved.
19:066:010 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver
is tried.
19:066:011 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon
our loins.
19:066:012 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through
fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a
wealthy place.
19:066:013 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee
my vows,
19:066:014 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I
was in trouble.
19:066:015 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the
incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
19:066:016 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what
he hath done for my soul.
19:066:017 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
tongue.
19:066:018 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19:066:019 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of
my prayer.
19:066:020 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his
mercy from me.
19:067:001 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to
shine upon us; Selah.
19:067:002 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among
all nations.
19:067:003 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
19:067:004 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt
judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
earth. Selah.
19:067:005 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
19:067:006 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own
God, shall bless us.
19:067:007 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear
him.
19:068:001 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also
that hate him flee before him.
19:068:002 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth
before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of
God.
19:068:003 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
19:068:004 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth
upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
19:068:005 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God
in his holy habitation.
19:068:006 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those
which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
land.
19:068:007 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
19:068:008 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of
God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the
God of Israel.
19:068:009 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst
confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
19:068:010 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
19:068:011 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that
published it.
19:068:012 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home
divided the spoil.
19:068:013 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the
wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with
yellow gold.
19:068:014 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow
in Salmon.
19:068:015 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the
hill of Bashan.
19:068:016 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God
desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
19:068:017 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of
angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy
place.
19:068:018 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:
thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious
also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19:068:019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even
the God of our salvation. Selah.
19:068:020 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the
Lord belong the issues from death.
19:068:021 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy
scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
19:068:022 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my
people again from the depths of the sea:
19:068:023 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and
the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
19:068:024 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God,
my King, in the sanctuary.
19:068:025 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed
after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
19:068:026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the
fountain of Israel.
19:068:027 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of
Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the
princes of Naphtali.
19:068:028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that
which thou hast wrought for us.
19:068:029 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents
unto thee.
19:068:030 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls,
with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself
with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in
war.
19:068:031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch
out her hands unto God.
19:068:032 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto
the Lord; Selah:
19:068:033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of
old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
19:068:034 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel,
and his strength is in the clouds.
19:068:035 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of
Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people.
Blessed be God.
19:069:001 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
19:069:002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come
into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
19:069:003 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail
while I wait for my God.
19:069:004 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of
mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies
wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not
away.
19:069:005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid
from thee.
19:069:006 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be
ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be
confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
19:069:007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered
my face.
19:069:008 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my
mother's children.
19:069:009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the
reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
19:069:010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to
my reproach.
19:069:011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to
them.
19:069:012 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song
of the drunkards.
19:069:013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an
acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,
in the truth of thy salvation.
19:069:014 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
19:069:015 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep
swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
19:069:016 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me
according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
19:069:017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:
hear me speedily.
19:069:018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of
mine enemies.
19:069:019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
mine adversaries are all before thee.
19:069:020 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and
I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for
comforters, but I found none.
19:069:021 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave
me vinegar to drink.
19:069:022 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which
should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
19:069:023 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their
loins continually to shake.
19:069:024 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
anger take hold of them.
19:069:025 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their
tents.
19:069:026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk
to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
19:069:027 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into
thy righteousness.
19:069:028 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be
written with the righteous.
19:069:029 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me
up on high.
19:069:030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify
him with thanksgiving.
19:069:031 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock
that hath horns and hoofs.
19:069:032 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall
live that seek God.
19:069:033 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
prisoners.
19:069:034 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing
that moveth therein.
19:069:035 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:
that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
19:069:036 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that
love his name shall dwell therein.
19:070:001 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O
LORD.
19:070:002 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire
my hurt.
19:070:003 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say,
Aha, aha.
19:070:004 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and
let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be
magnified.
19:070:005 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art
my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
19:071:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to
confusion.
19:071:002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
19:071:003 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art
my rock and my fortress.
19:071:004 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of
the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
19:071:005 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my
youth.
19:071:006 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that
took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be
continually of thee.
19:071:007 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
19:071:008 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all
the day.
19:071:009 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my
strength faileth.
19:071:010 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for
my soul take counsel together,
19:071:011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
there is none to deliver him.
19:071:012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
19:071:013 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my
soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that
seek my hurt.
19:071:014 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and
more.
19:071:015 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
19:071:016 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention
of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
19:071:017 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I
declared thy wondrous works.
19:071:018 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy
power to every one that is to come.
19:071:019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done
great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
19:071:020 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths
of the earth.
19:071:021 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
side.
19:071:022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O
my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One
of Israel.
19:071:023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my
soul, which thou hast redeemed.
19:071:024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
shame, that seek my hurt.
19:072:001 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto
the king's son.
19:072:002 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor
with judgment.
19:072:003 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little
hills, by righteousness.
19:072:004 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor.
19:072:005 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
19:072:006 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
that water the earth.
19:072:007 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
peace so long as the moon endureth.
19:072:008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
river unto the ends of the earth.
19:072:009 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and
his enemies shall lick the dust.
19:072:010 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
19:072:011 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall
serve him.
19:072:012 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also,
and him that hath no helper.
19:072:013 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of
the needy.
19:072:014 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
precious shall their blood be in his sight.
19:072:015 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of
Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and
daily shall he be praised.
19:072:016 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of
the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
19:072:017 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as
long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations
shall call him blessed.
19:072:018 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth
wondrous things.
19:072:019 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole
earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
19:072:020 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
19:073:001 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean
heart.
19:073:002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well
nigh slipped.
19:073:003 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of
the wicked.
19:073:004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is
firm.
19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued
like other men.
19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
covereth them as a garment.
19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart
could wish.
19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:
they speak loftily.
19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
walketh through the earth.
19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup
are wrung out to them.
19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?
19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands
in innocency.
19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against
the generation of thy children.
19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I
their end.
19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst
them down into destruction.
19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me
by my right hand.
19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
to glory.
19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth
that I desire beside thee.
19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.
19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
19:073:028 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust
in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine
anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old;
the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this
mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
19:074:003 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that
the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
19:074:004 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set
up their ensigns for signs.
19:074:005 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the
thick trees.
19:074:006 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with
axes and hammers.
19:074:007 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by
casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
19:074:008 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they
have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
19:074:009 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is
there among us any that knoweth how long.
19:074:010 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy
blaspheme thy name for ever?
19:074:011 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it
out of thy bosom.
19:074:012 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of
the earth.
19:074:013 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the
heads of the dragons in the waters.
19:074:014 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him
to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
19:074:015 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up
mighty rivers.
19:074:016 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared
the light and the sun.
19:074:017 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made
summer and winter.
19:074:018 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and
that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19:074:019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of
the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
19:074:020 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the
earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
19:074:021 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy
praise thy name.
19:074:022 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish
man reproacheth thee daily.
19:074:023 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those
that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
19:075:001 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give
thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
19:075:002 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
19:075:003 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I
bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
19:075:004 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked,
Lift not up the horn:
19:075:005 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
19:075:006 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor from the south.
19:075:007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
another.
19:075:008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is
red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same:
but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring
them out, and drink them.
19:075:009 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of
Jacob.
19:075:010 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns
of the righteous shall be exalted.
19:076:001 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
19:076:002 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in
Zion.
19:076:003 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the
sword, and the battle. Selah.
19:076:004 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of
prey.
19:076:005 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and
none of the men of might have found their hands.
19:076:006 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are
cast into a dead sleep.
19:076:007 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy
sight when once thou art angry?
19:076:008 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth
feared, and was still,
19:076:009 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
Selah.
19:076:010 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of
wrath shalt thou restrain.
19:076:011 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round
about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
19:076:012 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the
kings of the earth.
19:077:001 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice;
and he gave ear unto me.
19:077:002 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.
19:077:003 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
19:077:004 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot
speak.
19:077:005 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
19:077:006 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with
mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
19:077:007 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no
more?
19:077:008 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for
evermore?
19:077:009 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up
his tender mercies? Selah.
19:077:010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the
years of the right hand of the most High.
19:077:011 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember
thy wonders of old.
19:077:012 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
19:077:013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as
our God?
19:077:014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy
strength among the people.
19:077:015 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of
Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
19:077:016 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were
afraid: the depths also were troubled.
19:077:017 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine
arrows also went abroad.
19:077:018 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings
lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19:077:019 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and
thy footsteps are not known.
19:077:020 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
19:078:001 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the
words of my mouth.
19:078:002 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings
of old:
19:078:003 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
19:078:004 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.
19:078:005 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:
19:078:006 That the generation to come might know them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and declare them to
their children:
19:078:007 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the
works of God, but keep his commandments:
19:078:008 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.
19:078:009 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows,
turned back in the day of battle.
19:078:010 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
law;
19:078:011 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
19:078:012 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the
land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
19:078:013 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he
made the waters to stand as an heap.
19:078:014 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the
night with a light of fire.
19:078:015 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as
out of the great depths.
19:078:016 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to
run down like rivers.
19:078:017 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most
High in the wilderness.
19:078:018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their
lust.
19:078:019 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a
table in the wilderness?
19:078:020 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?
19:078:021 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was
kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
19:078:022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his
salvation:
19:078:023 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the
doors of heaven,
19:078:024 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them
of the corn of heaven.
19:078:025 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
19:078:026 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power
he brought in the south wind.
19:078:027 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls
like as the sand of the sea:
19:078:028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about
their habitations.
19:078:029 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their
own desire;
19:078:030 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
was yet in their mouths,
19:078:031 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
19:078:032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
wondrous works.
19:078:033 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years
in trouble.
19:078:034 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and
enquired early after God.
19:078:035 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God
their redeemer.
19:078:036 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they
lied unto him with their tongues.
19:078:037 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
stedfast in his covenant.
19:078:038 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.
19:078:039 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that
passeth away, and cometh not again.
19:078:040 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him
in the desert!
19:078:041 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy
One of Israel.
19:078:042 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered
them from the enemy.
19:078:043 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the
field of Zoan.
19:078:044 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that
they could not drink.
19:078:045 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them.
19:078:046 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their
labour unto the locust.
19:078:047 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees
with frost.
19:078:048 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to
hot thunderbolts.
19:078:049 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
19:078:050 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from
death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
19:078:051 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
19:078:052 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided
them in the wilderness like a flock.
19:078:053 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the
sea overwhelmed their enemies.
19:078:054 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to
this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
19:078:055 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.
19:078:056 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not
his testimonies:
19:078:057 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
19:078:058 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
19:078:059 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred
Israel:
19:078:060 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he
placed among men;
19:078:061 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into
the enemy's hand.
19:078:062 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth
with his inheritance.
19:078:063 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not
given to marriage.
19:078:064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
lamentation.
19:078:065 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty
man that shouteth by reason of wine.
19:078:066 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach.
19:078:067 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not
the tribe of Ephraim:
19:078:068 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
19:078:069 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth
which he hath established for ever.
19:078:070 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:
19:078:071 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to
feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
19:078:072 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
19:079:001 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy
temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
19:079:002 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.
19:079:003 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem;
and there was none to bury them.
19:079:004 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
derision to them that are round about us.
19:079:005 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy
jealousy burn like fire?
19:079:006 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,
and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
19:079:007 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling
place.
19:079:008 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
19:079:009 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.
19:079:010 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.
19:079:011 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are
appointed to die;
19:079:012 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom
their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
19:079:013 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee
thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all
generations.
19:080:001 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like
a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine
forth.
19:080:002 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
and come and save us.
19:080:003 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved.
19:080:004 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
prayer of thy people?
19:080:005 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them
tears to drink in great measure.
19:080:006 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
laugh among themselves.
19:080:007 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.
19:080:008 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it.
19:080:009 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take
deep root, and it filled the land.
19:080:010 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs
thereof were like the goodly cedars.
19:080:011 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto
the river.
19:080:012 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they
which pass by the way do pluck her?
19:080:013 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of
the field doth devour it.
19:080:014 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from
heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
19:080:015 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
19:080:016 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the
rebuke of thy countenance.
19:080:017 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son
of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
19:080:018 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call
upon thy name.
19:080:019 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.
19:081:001 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob.
19:081:002 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp
with the psaltery.
19:081:003 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day.
19:081:004 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of
Jacob.
19:081:005 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.
19:081:006 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
delivered from the pots.
19:081:007 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.
19:081:008 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me;
19:081:009 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
worship any strange god.
19:081:010 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
19:081:011 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would
none of me.
19:081:012 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked
in their own counsels.
19:081:013 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked
in my ways!
19:081:014 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand
against their adversaries.
19:081:015 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto
him: but their time should have endured for ever.
19:081:016 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and
with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
19:082:001 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth
among the gods.
19:082:002 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
19:082:003 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted
and needy.
19:082:004 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
wicked.
19:082:005 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
19:082:006 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
most High.
19:082:007 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
19:082:008 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
nations.
19:083:001 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
still, O God.
19:083:002 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
19:083:003 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted against thy hidden ones.
19:083:004 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.
19:083:005 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee:
19:083:006 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
19:083:007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
19:083:008 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children
of Lot. Selah.
19:083:009 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to
Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
19:083:010 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
19:083:011 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
19:083:012 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
19:083:013 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
wind.
19:083:014 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
19:083:015 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with
thy storm.
19:083:016 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
LORD.
19:083:017 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be
put to shame, and perish:
19:083:018 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art
the most high over all the earth.
19:084:001 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
19:084:002 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the
LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
19:084:003 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.
19:084:004 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
praising thee. Selah.
19:084:005 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart
are the ways of them.
19:084:006 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the
rain also filleth the pools.
19:084:007 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion
appeareth before God.
19:084:008 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah.
19:084:009 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
anointed.
19:084:010 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.
19:084:011 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.
19:084:012 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
19:085:001 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast
brought back the captivity of Jacob.
19:085:002 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast
covered all their sin. Selah.
19:085:003 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself
from the fierceness of thine anger.
19:085:004 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward
us to cease.
19:085:005 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine
anger to all generations?
19:085:006 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee?
19:085:007 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
19:085:008 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.
19:085:009 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory
may dwell in our land.
19:085:010 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
19:085:011 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall
look down from heaven.
19:085:012 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land
shall yield her increase.
19:085:013 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way
of his steps.
19:086:001 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
19:086:002 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy
servant that trusteth in thee.
19:086:003 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
19:086:004 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I
lift up my soul.
19:086:005 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous
in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
19:086:006 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of
my supplications.
19:086:007 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt
answer me.
19:086:008 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
are there any works like unto thy works.
19:086:009 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before
thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
19:086:010 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
alone.
19:086:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
heart to fear thy name.
19:086:012 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I
will glorify thy name for evermore.
19:086:013 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my
soul from the lowest hell.
19:086:014 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.
19:086:015 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
19:086:016 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto
thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
19:086:017 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.
19:087:001 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
19:087:002 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings
of Jacob.
19:087:003 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
19:087:004 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born
there.
19:087:005 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in
her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
19:087:006 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this
man was born there. Selah.
19:087:007 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be
there: all my springs are in thee.
19:088:001 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
thee:
19:088:002 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
19:088:003 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto
the grave.
19:088:004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a
man that hath no strength:
19:088:005 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.
19:088:006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
deeps.
19:088:007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with
all thy waves. Selah.
19:088:008 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.
19:088:009 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called
daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
19:088:010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and
praise thee? Selah.
19:088:011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction?
19:088:012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
in the land of forgetfulness?
19:088:013 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall
my prayer prevent thee.
19:088:014 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face
from me?
19:088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I
suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
19:088:016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
19:088:017 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
about together.
19:088:018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine
acquaintance into darkness.
19:089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth
will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
19:089:002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
19:089:003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David
my servant,
19:089:004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to
all generations. Selah.
19:089:005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
19:089:006 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among
the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
19:089:007 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.
