THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Psalms (Author Moses, David, Solomon, Asaph, Heman, Ethan, sons of Korah, compiled by Ezra)

118:1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

118:2Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:3Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:4Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

118:5I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.

118:6The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

118:7The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

118:8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

118:9It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

118:10All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

118:11They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

118:13Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

118:14The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

118:15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:16The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

118:17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

118:18The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

118:19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

118:20This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

118:21I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

118:22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

118:23This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

118:24This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

118:25Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

118:26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

118:27God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

118:28Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

118:29O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

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.

120:0A Song of degrees.

120:1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

120:2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

120:3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

120:4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

120:5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

120:6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

120:7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

121:0A Song of degrees.

121:1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

121:2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

121:3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

121:6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

121:8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

122:0A Song of degrees of David.

122:1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

122:2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

122:3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

122:4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

122:5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

122:7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

122:8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

122:9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:0A Song of degrees.

123:1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

123:2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

123:3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

123:4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

124:0A Song of degrees of David.

124:1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

124:2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

124:3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

124:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

124:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

124:8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

125:0A Song of degrees.

125:1They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

125:2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

125:3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

125:5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

126:0A Song of degrees.

126:1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

126:2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

126:3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

126:4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

126:5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

126:6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

127:0A Song of degrees for Solomon.

127:1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

127:2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

127:3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

127:4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

127:5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

128:0A Song of degrees.

128:1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

128:2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

128:3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

128:4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

128:5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

128:6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

129:0A Song of degrees.

129:1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

129:2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

129:3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

129:4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

129:5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

129:6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

129:7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

129:8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

130:0A Song of degrees.

130:1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

130:2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

130:3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

130:4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

130:5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

130:6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

130:7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

130:8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

131:0A Song of degrees of David.

131:1LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

131:2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

131:3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

132:0A Song of degrees.

132:1LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

132:2How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

132:3Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

132:4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

132:5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

132:6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

132:7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

132:8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

132:9Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

132:10For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

132:11The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

132:12If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

132:13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

132:14This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

132:15I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

132:16I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

132:17There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
