143
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me,
and
in thy righteousness.
2
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul
thirsteth
after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10
Teach me to do thy will; for thou
art
my God: thy spirit
is
good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I
am
thy servant.
144
Blessed
be
the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war,
and
my fingers to fight:
2
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and
he
in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3
LORD, what
is
man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
or
the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4
Man is like to vanity: his days
are
as a shadow that passeth away.
5
Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7
Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand
is
a right hand of falsehood.
9
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery
and
an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10
It is he
that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand
is
a right hand of falsehood:
12
That our sons
may be
as plants grown up in their youth;
that
our daughters
may be
as corner stones, polished
after
the similitude of a palace:
13
That
our garners
may be
full, affording all manner of store:
that
our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14
That
our oxen
may be
strong to labour;
that there be
no breaking in, nor going out; that
there be
no complaining in our streets.
15
Happy
is that
people, that is in such a case:
yea,
happy
is that
people, whose God
is
the LORD.
145
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3
Great
is
the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness
is
unsearchable.
4
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6
And
men
shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8
The LORD
is
gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9
The LORD
is
good to all: and his tender mercies
are
over all his works.
10
All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13
Thy kingdom
is
an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion
endureth
throughout all generations.
14
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all
those that be
bowed down.
15
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17
The LORD
is
righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18
The LORD
is
nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
146
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3
Put not your trust in princes,
nor
in the son of man, in whom
there is
no help.
4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5
Happy
is he
that
hath
the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope
is
in the LORD his God:
6
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8
The LORD openeth
the eyes of
the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10
The LORD shall reign for ever,
even
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
147
Praise ye the LORD: for
it is
good to sing praises unto our God; for
it is
pleasant;
and
praise is comely.
2
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by
their
names.
5
Great
is
our Lord, and of great power: his understanding
is
infinite.
6
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7
Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9
He giveth to the beast his food,
and
to the young ravens which cry.
10
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14
He maketh peace
in
thy borders,
and
filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15
He sendeth forth his commandment
upon
earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar frost like ashes.
17
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow,
and
the waters flow.
19
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and
as for his
judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
148
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that
be
above the heavens.
5
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory
is
above the earth and heaven.
14
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints;
even
of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
149
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song,
and
his praise in the congregation of saints.
2
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6
Let
the high
praises
of God
be
in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7
To execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and
punishments upon the people;
8
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
150
Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
The Proverbs
1
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5
A wise
man
will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7
The fear of the LORD
is
the beginning of knowledge:
but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9
For they
shall be
an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18
And they lay wait for their
own
blood; they lurk privily for their
own
lives.
19
So
are
the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
which
taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words,
saying,
22
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
2
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and
apply thine heart to understanding;
3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and
liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as
for
hid treasures;
5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
cometh
knowledge and understanding.
7
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is
a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity;
yea,
every good path.
10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12
To deliver thee from the way of the evil
man,
from the man that speaketh froward things;
13
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14
Who rejoice to do evil,
and
delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15
Whose ways
are
crooked, and
they
froward in their paths:
16
To deliver thee from the strange woman,
even
from the stranger
which
flattereth with her words;
17
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20
That thou mayest walk in the way of good
men,
and keep the paths of the righteous.
21
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
3
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son
in whom
he delighteth.
13
Happy
is
the man
that
findeth wisdom, and the man
that
getteth understanding.
14
For the merchandise of it
is
better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15
She
is
more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16
Length of days
is
in her right hand;
and
in her left hand riches and honour.
17
Her ways
are
ways of pleasantness, and all her paths
are
peace.
18
She
is
a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy
is every one
that retaineth her.
19
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do
it.
28
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32
For the froward
is
abomination to the LORD: but his secret
is
with the righteous.
33
The curse of the LORD
is
in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
