8:1O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
8:3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8:4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
8:5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
8:6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
8:7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
81:1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
81:2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
81:3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
81:4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
81:5This 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.
81:6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
81:7Thou 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.
81:8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
81:9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
81:10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
81:11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
81:12So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
81:13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
81:14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
81:15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
81:16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
84:1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
84:2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
84:3Yea, 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.
84:4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
84:5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
84:6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
84:7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
84:8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
84:9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
84:10For 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.
84:11For 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.
84:12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
