107:1

Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

107:2

Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

107:3

From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

107:4

They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

107:5

They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

107:6

And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

107:7

And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.

107:8

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

107:9

For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

107:10

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

107:11

Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

107:12

And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.

107:13

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

107:14

And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

107:15

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

107:16

Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.

107:17

He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

107:18

Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

107:19

And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

107:20

He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.

107:21

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

107:22

And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

107:23

They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:

107:24

These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

107:25

He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

107:26

They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

107:27

They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

107:28

And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

107:29

And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

107:30

And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

107:31

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

107:32

And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

107:33

He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:

107:34

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

107:35

He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.

107:36

And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

107:37

And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

107:38

And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

107:39

Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

107:40

Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

107:41

And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

107:42

The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.

107:43

Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?

108:1

A canticle of a psalm for David himself. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

108:2

Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

108:3

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the populations.

108:4

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.

108:5

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:

108:6

that thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.

108:7

God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

108:8

Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:

108:9

Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

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 armies?

108:12

O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

108:13

Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

109:1

Unto the end, a psalm for David.

109:2

O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.

109:3

They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.

109:4

Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.

109:5

And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.

109:6

Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.

109:7

When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.

109:8

May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.

109:9

May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10

Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.

109:11

May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.

109:12

May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.

109:13

May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.

109:14

May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

109:15

May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:

109:16

because he remembered not to show mercy,

109:17

But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.

109:18

And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.

109:19

May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.

109:20

This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.

109:21

But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me.

109:22

for I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.

109:23

I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.

109:24

My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.

109:25

And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,

109:26

Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.

109:27

And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.

109:28

They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.

109:29

Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak.

109:30

I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.

109:31

Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors

110:1

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

110:2

The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

110:3

With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.

110:4

The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

110:5

The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.

110:6

He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.

110:7

He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

111:1

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

111:2

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills

111:3

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

111:4

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

111:5

he hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

111:6

he will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

111:7

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

111:8

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

111:9

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

111:10

the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.

112:1

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

112:2

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

112:3

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

112:4

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

112:5

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

112:6

because he shall not be moved for ever.

112:7

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

112:8

his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

112:9

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

112:10

The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

113:1

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

113:2

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

113:3

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

113:4

The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

113:5

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

113:6

and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

113:7

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill::

113:8

That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

113:9

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

114:1

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

114:2

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

114:3

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

114:4

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

114:5

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

114:6

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

114:7

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

114:8

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

115:1

Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

115:2

For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?

115:3

But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

115:4

The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

115:5

They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.

115:6

They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.

115:7

They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.

115:8

Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.

115:9

The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

115:10

The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

115:11

They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

115:12

The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

115:13

He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.

115:14

May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.

115:15

Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

115:16

The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

115:17

The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.

115:18

But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.

116:1

I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

116:2

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

116:3

The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

116:4

and I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

116:5

The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

116:6

The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

116:7

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

116:8

For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

116:9

I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

116:10

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

116:11

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

116:12

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

116:13

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

116:14

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

116:15

precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

116:16

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

116:17

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

116:18

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

116:19

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

117:1

O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

117:2

For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.

118:1

Give praise to Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

118:2

Let Israel now say that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:3

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:4

Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:5

In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.

118:6

The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me.

118:7

The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.

118:8

It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

118:9

It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.

118:10

All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

118:11

Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

118:12

They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them

118:13

Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

118:14

The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.

118:15

The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

118:16

The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.

118:17

I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.

118:18

The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.

118:19

Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord.

118:20

This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.

118:21

I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.

118:22

The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.

118:23

This is the Lord's doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.

118:24

This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.

118:25

O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.

118:26

Blessed be he that cometh in the name Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

118:27

The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the alter.

118:28

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

118:29

O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

119:1

[ALEPH] Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

119:2

Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart.

119:3

For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways.

119:4

Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently.

119:5

O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.

119:6

Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments.

119:7

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice.

119:8

I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.

119:9

[BETH] By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words.

119:10

With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.

119:11

Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.

119:12

Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.

119:13

With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth.

119:14

I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.

119:15

I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways.

119:16

I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.

119:17

[GIMEL] Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words.

119:18

Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.

119:19

I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

119:20

My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times.

119:21

Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.

119:22

Remove from reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.

119:23

For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.

119:24

For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.

119:25

[DALETH] My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word.

119:26

I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: tech me thy justifications.

119:27

Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.

119:28

My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words.

119:29

Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me.

119:30

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten.

119:31

I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame.

119:32

I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart.

119:33

[HE] Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it.

119:34

Give me understanding, and I will search thy law ; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

119:35

Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.

119:36

Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

119:37

Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.

119:38

Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear.

119:39

Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful.

119:40

Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice.

119:41

[VAU] Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.

119:42

So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words.

119:43

And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.

119:44

So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.

119:45

And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.

119:46

And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed.

119:47

I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.

119:48

And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.

119:49

[ZAIN] Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope.

119:50

This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me.

119:51

The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law.

119:52

I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted.

119:53

A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

119:54

Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage.

119:55

In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law.

119:56

This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications.

119:57

[HETH] O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law.

119:58

I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word.

119:59

I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

119:60

I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments.

119:61

The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

119:62

I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification.

119:63

I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments.

119:64

The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications.

119:65

[TETH] Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.

119:66

Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments.

119:67

Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word.

119:68

Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications.

119:69

The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart.

119:70

Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law.

119:71

It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications.

119:72

The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.

119:73

[JOD] Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

119:74

They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words.

119:75

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.

119:76

O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

119:77

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.

119:78

Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments.

119:79

Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies.

119:80

Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded.

119:81

[CAPH] My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped.

119:82

My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me?

119:83

For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.

119:84

How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

119:85

The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.

119:86

All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.

119:87

They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments.

119:88

Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.

119:89

[LAMED] For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.

119:90

Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.

119:91

By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee.

119:92

Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.

119:93

Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life.

119:94

I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications.

119:95

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies.

119:96

I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad.

119:97

[MEM] O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.

119:98

Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.

119:99

I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.

119:100

I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.

119:101

I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.

119:102

I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.

119:103

How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.

119:104

By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.

119:105

[NUN] Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

119:106

I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.

119:107

I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word.

119:108

The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments.

119:109

My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law.

119:110

Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts.

119:111

I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.

119:112

I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward.

119:113

[SAMECH] I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law.

119:114

Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped.

119:115

Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God.

119:116

Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation.

119:117

Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications.

119:118

Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust.

119:119

I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies.

119:120

Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments.

119:121

[AIN] I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me.

119:122

Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me.

119:123

My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice.

119:124

Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications.

119:125

I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies.

119:126

It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law.

119:127

Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz.

119:128

Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways.

119:129

[PHE] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them.

119:130

The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.

119:131

I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.

119:132

Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name.

119:133

Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

119:134

Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.

119:135

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications.

119:136

My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law.

119:137

[SADE] Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right.

119:138

Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly.

119:139

My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words.

119:140

Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it.

119:141

I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications.

119:142

Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth.

119:143

Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation.

119:144

Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.

119:145

[COPH] I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.

119:146

I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.

119:147

I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.

119:148

My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.

119:149

Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy.

119:150

They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law.

119:151

Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.

119:152

I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.

119:153

[RES] See my humiliation and deliver me: for I have not forgotten the law.

119:154

Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word's sake.

119:155

Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.

119:156

Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment.

119:157

Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.

119:158

I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word.

119:159

Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.

119:160

The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.

119:161

[SIN] Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.

119:162

I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil.

119:163

I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.

119:164

Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice.

119:165

Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block

119:166

I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.

119:167

My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and hath loved them exceedingly.

119:168

I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight.

119:169

[TAU] Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word.

119:170

Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word.

119:171

My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications.

119:172

My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice.

119:173

Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

119:174

I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation.

119:175

My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me.

119:176

I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.

120:1

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

120:2

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

120:3

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

120:4

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

120:5

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

120:6

my soul hath been long a sojourner.

120:7

With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

121:1

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

121:2

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

121:3

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

121:4

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

121:5

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

121:6

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

121:7

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

121:8

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.

122:1

I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

122:2

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

122:3

Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

122:4

For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

122:5

Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

122:6

Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

122:7

Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

122:8

For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

122:9

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

123:1

To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

123:2

Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

123:3

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

123:4

For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

124:1

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

124:2

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us

124:3

perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

124:4

perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

124:5

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

124:6

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

124:7

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

124:8

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

125:1

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

125:2

in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

125:3

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

125:4

Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

125:5

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

126:1

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

126:2

Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

126:3

The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

126:4

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

126:5

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

126:6

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

127:1

Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

127:2

It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,

127:3

behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

127:4

As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.

127:5

Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

128:1

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

128:2

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

128:3

Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.

128:4

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

128:5

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

128:6

And mayest thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.

129:1

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

129:2

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

129:3

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

129:4

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

129:5

let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

129:6

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

129:7

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

129:8

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

130:1

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

130:2

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

130:3

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

130:4

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

130:5

my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

130:6

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

130:7

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

130:8

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

131:1

Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

131:2

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

131:3

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

132:1

O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

132:2

How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

132:3

If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

132:4

If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

132:5

Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

132:6

Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

132:7

We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

132:8

Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

132:9

Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

132:10

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

132:11

The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

132:12

If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

132:13

For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

132:14

This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

132:15

Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16

I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

132:17

There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

132:18

His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.

133:1

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity.

133:2

Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, Which ran down to the skirt of his garment:

133:3

as the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commandeth blessing, and life for evermore.

134:1

Behold now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord: Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

134:2

In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.

134:3

May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.

135:1

Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

135:2

You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

135:3

Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

135:4

For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

135:5

For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

135:6

Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

135:7

He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

135:8

He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

135:9

He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

135:10

He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

135:11

Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

135:12

And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

135:13

Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

135:14

For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

135:15

The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

135:16

They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

135:17

They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18

Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

135:19

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

135:20

Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

135:21

Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

136:1

Praise the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:2

Praise ye the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:3

Praise ye the Lord of Lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:4

Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:5

Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:6

Who established the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:7

Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:8

The sun to rule over the day: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:9

The moon and the stars to rule the night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:10

Who smote Egypt with their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:11

Who brought Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:12

With a mighty hand and a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:13

Who divided the Red Sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:14

And brought out Israel through the midst thereof: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:15

And overthrew Pharao and his host in the Red Sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:16

Who led his people through the desert: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:17

Who smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:18

And slew strong kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:19

Sehon king of the Amorrhites: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:20

And Og king of Basan: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:21

And he gave their land for an inheritance: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:22

For an inheritance to his servant Israel: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:23

For he was mindful of us in our affliction: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:24

And he redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:25

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

136:26

Give glory to the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever. Give glory to the Lord of Lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

137:1

Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

137:2

On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

137:3

For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

137:4

How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

137:5

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

137:6

Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.

137:7

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

137:8

O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

137:9

Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.

138:1

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

138:2

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

138:3

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

138:4

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

138:5

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

138:6

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

138:7

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

138:8

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.

139:1

Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:

139:2

thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.

139:3

Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.

139:4

And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.

139:5

Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.

139:6

Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.

139:7

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?

139:8

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.

139:9

If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:

139:10

Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.

139:11

And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.

139:12

But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.

139:13

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.

139:14

I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.

139:15

My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.

139:16

Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.

139:17

But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.

139:18

I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.

139:19

If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:

139:20

Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.

139:21

Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?

139:22

I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.

139:23

Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.

139:24

And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.

140:1

Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.

140:2

Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.

140:3

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.

140:4

Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.

140:5

the proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.

140:6

I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.

140:7

O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.

140:8

Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.

140:9

The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.

140:10

Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.

140:11

A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.

140:12

I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.

140:13

But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.

141:1

I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

141:2

Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

141:3

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

141:4

Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.

141:5

The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:

141:6

their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

141:7

as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.

141:8

But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

141:9

Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.

141:10

The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.

142:1

Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

142:2

In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

142:3

When my spirit failed me, then thou newest my paths.

142:4

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.

142:5

I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

142:6

Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

142:7

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

143:1

Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.

143:2

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.

143:3

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:

143:4

and my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.

143:5

I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.

143:6

I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.

143:7

Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

143:8

Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.

143:9

Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:

143:10

teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:

143:11

for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:

143:12

and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

144:1

Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.

144:2

My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.

144:3

Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

144:4

Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.

144:5

Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.

144:6

Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.

144:7

Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:

144:8

Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.

144:9

To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.

144:10

Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:

144:11

Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:

144:12

Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:

144:13

Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:

144:14

their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.

144:15

They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.

145:1

I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

145:2

Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

145:3

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.

145:4

Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.

145:5

They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.

145:6

And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.

145:7

They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.

145:8

The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.

145:9

The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

145:10

Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

145:11

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

145:12

To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.

145:13

Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

145:14

The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.

145:15

The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.

145:16

Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.

145:17

The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

145:18

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.

145:19

He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

145:20

The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.

145:21

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

146:1

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

146:2

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

146:3

in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

146:4

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

146:5

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

146:6

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

146:7

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

146:8

the Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

146:9

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

146:10

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

147:1

147:5

Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.

147:9

Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.

147:10

He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.

147:11

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.

147:12

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.

147:13

Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.

147:14

Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.

147:15

Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.

Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
