89:47 Remember how short my time is:
wherefore
hast thou made all men
in vain?
in vain?

78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the
tribe of Ephraim:
78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth
which he hath established for ever.
78:70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:
78:71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
78:72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
79:1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy
temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
79:2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto
the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of
the earth.
79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
there was none to bury them.
79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision
to them that are round about us.
79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy
burn like fire?
79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and
upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be
known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of
thy servants which is shed.
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to
die;
79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks
for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a
flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
and come and save us.
80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
prayer of thy people?
80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears
to drink in great measure.
80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it.
80:9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep
root, and it filled the land.
80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs
thereof were like the goodly cedars.
80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the
river.
80:12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they
which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of
the field doth devour it.
80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven,
and behold, and visit this vine;
80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the
rebuke of thy countenance.
80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of
man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call
upon thy name.
80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
81:1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob.
81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp
with the psaltery.
81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day.
81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
81:5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out
through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood
not.
81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered
from the pots.
81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee
in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of
Meribah.
Selah.
81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me;
81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship
any strange god.
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would
none of me.
81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked
in their own counsels.
81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked
in my ways!
81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand
against their adversaries.
81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto
him: but their time should have endured for ever.
81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and
with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among
the gods.
82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and
needy.
82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
wicked.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most
High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
nations.
83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
still, O God.
83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a
nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of
Lot.
Selah.
83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin,
at the brook of Kison:
83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
wind.
83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with
thy storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
LORD.
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be
put to shame, and perish:
83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art
the most high over all the earth.
84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of
hosts, my King, and my God.
84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
praising thee. Selah.
84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are
the ways of them.
84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain
also filleth the pools.
84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion
appeareth before God.
84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah.
84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
anointed.
84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather
be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of
wickedness.
84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace
and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk
uprightly.
84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
85:1 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought
back the captivity of Jacob.
85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered
all their sin. Selah.
85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from
the fierceness of thine anger.
85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us
to cease.
85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine
anger to all generations?
85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee?
85:7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace
unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to
folly.
85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may
dwell in our land.
85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall
look down from heaven.
85:12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall
yield her increase.
85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way
of his steps.
86:1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
86:2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant
that trusteth in thee.
86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift
up my soul.
86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in
mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt
answer me.
86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are
there any works like unto thy works.
86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before
thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
alone.
86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
heart to fear thy name.
86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore.
86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my
soul from the lowest hell.
86:14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of
violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before
them.
86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto
thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
86:17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it,
and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of
Jacob.
87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her:
and the highest himself shall establish her.
87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this
man was born there. Selah.
87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee.
88:1 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
thee:
88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto
the grave.
88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man
that hath no strength:
88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom
thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all
thy waves. Selah.
88:8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made
me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called
daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and
praise thee? Selah.
88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction?
88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in
the land of forgetfulness?
88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my
prayer prevent thee.
88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face
from me?
88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer
thy terrors I am distracted.
88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
about together.
88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine
acquaintance into darkness.
89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth
will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my
servant,
89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to
all generations. Selah.
89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among
the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to
be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to
thy faithfulness round about thee?
89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise,
thou stillest them.
89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou
hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world
and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
89:12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon
shall rejoice in thy name.
89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy
right hand.
89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and
truth shall go before thy face.
89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall
walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
89:17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our
horn shall be exalted.
89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our
king.
89:19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have
laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of
the people.
89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed
him:
89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
strengthen him.
89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness
afflict him.
89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them
that hate him.
89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my
name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers.
89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock
of my salvation.
89:27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the
earth.
89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall
stand fast with him.
89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as
the days of heaven.
89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their
iniquity with stripes.
89:33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,
nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips.
89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before
me.
89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful
witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with
thine anointed.
89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast
profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his
strong holds to ruin.
89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his
neighbours.
89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast
made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made
him to stand in the battle.
89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to
the ground.
89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him
with shame. Selah.
89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath
burn like fire?
89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men
in vain?
89:48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he
deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
89:49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest
unto David in thy truth?
89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in
my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they
have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
89:52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God.
90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children
of men.
90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is
past, and as a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in
the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it
is cut down, and withereth.
90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled.
90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the
light of thy countenance.
90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years
as a tale that is told.
90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by
reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength
labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy
fear, so is thy wrath.
90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom.
90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be
glad all our days.
90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted
us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish
thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands
establish thou it.
91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God;
in him will I trust.
91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and
from the noisome pestilence.
91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the
most High, thy habitation;
91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him
in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
92:1 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING
PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
92:2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night,
92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
the harp with a solemn sound.
92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will
triumph in the works of thy hands.
92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of
iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
92:8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall
perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I
shall be anointed with fresh oil.
92:11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears
shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow
like a cedar in Lebanon.
92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in
the courts of our God.
92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat
and flourishing;
92:15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no
unrighteousness in him.
93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is
clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world
also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
93:2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up
their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
93:4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea,
than the mighty waves of the sea.
93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O
LORD, for ever.
94:1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance
belongeth, shew thyself.
94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the
proud.
94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
triumph?
94:4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the
workers of iniquity boast themselves?
94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
heritage.
94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
94:7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of
Jacob regard it.
94:8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will
ye be wise?
94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the
eye, shall he not see?
94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that
teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest
him out of thy law;
94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until
the pit be digged for the wicked.
94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he
forsake his inheritance.
94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the
upright in heart shall follow it.
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand
up for me against the workers of iniquity?
94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
silence.
94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight
my soul.
94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?
94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the
righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut
them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them
off.
95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to
the rock of our salvation.
95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms.
95:3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
95:4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the
hills is his also.
95:5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry
land.
95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD
our maker.
95:7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day
of temptation in the wilderness:
95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said,
It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my
ways:
95:11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my
rest.
96:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the
earth.
96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from
day to day.
96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
people.
96:4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be
feared above all gods.
96:5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the
heavens.
96:6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his
sanctuary.
96:7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the
LORD glory and strength.
96:8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an
offering, and come into his courts.
96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him,
all the earth.
96:10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also
shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the
people righteously.
96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea
roar, and the fulness thereof.
96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all
the trees of the wood rejoice
96:13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the
earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people
with his truth.
97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of
isles be glad thereof.
97:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and
judgment are the habitation of his throne.
97:3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
97:4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
trembled.
97:5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the
presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his
glory.
97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of thy judgments, O LORD.
97:9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted
far above all gods.
97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his
saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in
heart.
97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous
things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he
openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
98:3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of
Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud
noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
98:5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of
a psalm.
98:6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the
LORD, the King.
98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they
that dwell therein.
98:8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with
righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the
cherubims; let the earth be moved.
99:2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
99:4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish
equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he
is holy.
99:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that
call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
99:7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
99:8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that
forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the
LORD our God is holy.
100:1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with
singing.
100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and
not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth to all generations.
101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I
sing.
101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou
come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of
them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
101:4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
person.
101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him
that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may
dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut
off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
102:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;
incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as
an hearth.
102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget
to eat my bread.
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
skin.
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
desert.
102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad
against me are sworn against me.
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping.
102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast
lifted me up, and cast me down.
102:11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered
like grass.
102:12 But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance
unto all generations.
102:13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the
dust thereof.
102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the
kings of the earth thy glory.
102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his
glory.
102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the
people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from
heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
appointed to death;
102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
Jerusalem;
102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
serve the LORD.
102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy
years are throughout all generations.
102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the
heavens are the work of thy hands.
102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them
shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and
they shall be changed:
102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed
shall be established before thee.
103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his
holy name.
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases;
103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle's.
103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed.
103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel.
103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous
in mercy.
103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for
ever.
103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his
mercy toward them that fear him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them
that fear him.
103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so
he flourisheth.
103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know it no more.
103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
children;
103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.
103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his
kingdom ruleth over all.
103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do
his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that
do his pleasure.
103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:
bless the LORD, O my soul.
104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who
stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh
the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
removed for ever.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters
stood above the mountains.
104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted
away.
104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto
the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they
turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the
hills.
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses
quench their thirst.
104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
which sing among the branches.
