25:1Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
25:2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
25:3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
25:4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
25:5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
25:6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
25:7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
25:8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
25:9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
25:10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
25:11For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
25:12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
25:13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
25:14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
25:15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
25:16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
25:17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
25:18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
25:19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
25:20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
25:21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
25:22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
34:1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
34:2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
34:3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
34:4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
34:5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
34:6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
34:8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
34:9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
34:10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
34:11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
34:12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
34:13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
34:14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
34:16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
34:17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
34:18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
34:19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
34:20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
34:22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
37:1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
37:2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
37:3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
37:4Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
37:5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
37:6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
37:7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
37:8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
37:9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
37:10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
37:11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
37:13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
37:14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
37:15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
37:16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
37:17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
37:18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
37:19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
37:21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
37:22For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
37:24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
37:25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
37:26He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
37:27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
37:28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
37:30The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
37:31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
37:32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
37:33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
37:34Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
37:35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
37:36Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37:37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
37:38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
37:40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
111:1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
111:2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
111:3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
111:4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
111:5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
111:6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
111:7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
111:8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
111:9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
111:10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
112:0
112:1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
112:2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
112:3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
112:4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
112:5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
112:6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
112:7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
112:8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
112:9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
112:10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
119:1Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
119:2Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
119:3They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
119:4Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
119:5O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
119:6Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
119:7I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
119:8I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
119:9Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
119:10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
119:11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
119:12Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
119:13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
119:14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
119:15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
119:16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
119:17Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
119:18Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
119:19I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
119:20My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
119:21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
119:22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
119:23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
119:24Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
119:25My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
119:26I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
119:27Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
119:28My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
119:29Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
119:30I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
119:31I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
119:32I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
119:33Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
119:34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
119:35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
119:36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
119:37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
119:38Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
119:39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
119:40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
119:41Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
119:42So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
119:43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
119:44So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
119:45And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
119:46I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
119:47And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
119:48My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
119:49Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
119:50This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
119:51The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
119:52I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
119:53Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
119:54Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
119:55I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
119:56This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
119:57Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
119:58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
119:59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
119:60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
119:61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
119:62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
119:63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
119:64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
119:65Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
119:66Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
119:67Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
119:68Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
119:69The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
119:70Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
119:71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
119:72The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
119:73Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
119:74They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
119:75I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
119:76Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
119:77Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
119:78Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
119:79Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
119:80Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
119:81My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
119:82Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
119:83For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
119:84How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
119:85The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
119:86All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
119:87They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
119:88Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
119:89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
119:90Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
119:91They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
119:92Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
119:93I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
119:94I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
119:95The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
119:96I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
119:97O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
119:98Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
119:99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
119:100I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
119:101I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
119:102I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
119:103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
119:104Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
119:105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
119:106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
119:107I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
119:108Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
119:109My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
119:110The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
119:111Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
119:112I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
119:113I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
119:114Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
119:115Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
119:116Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
119:117Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
119:118Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119:119Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
119:120My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
119:121I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
119:122Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
119:123Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
119:124Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
119:125I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
119:126It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
119:127Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
119:128Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
119:129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
119:130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
119:131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
119:132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
119:133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
119:134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
119:135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
119:136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
119:137Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
119:138Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
119:139My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
119:140Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
119:141I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
119:142Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
119:143Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
119:144The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
119:145I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
119:146I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
119:147I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
119:148Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
119:149Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
119:150They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
119:151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
119:152Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
119:153Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
119:154Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
119:155Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
119:156Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
119:157Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
119:158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
119:159Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
119:160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
119:161Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
119:162I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
119:163I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
119:164Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
119:165Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
119:166LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
119:167My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
119:168I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
119:169Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
119:170Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
119:171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
119:172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
119:173Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
119:174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
119:175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
119:176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
145:1I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
145:2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
145:3Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
145:4One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
145:5I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
145:6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
145:7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
145:8The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
145:9The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
145:10All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
145:11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
145:12To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
145:13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
145:14The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
145:15The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
145:16Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
145:17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
145:18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
145:19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
145:20The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
145:21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
