Give ear, O my people,
to
my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
3
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4
We will not hide
them
from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6
That the generation to come might know
them, even
the children
which
should be born;
who
should arise and declare
them
to their children:
7
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
that
set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9
The children of Ephraim,
being
armed,
and
carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
in
the field of Zoan.
13
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
14
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave
them
drink as
out of
the great depths.
16
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21
Therefore the LORD heard
this,
and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25
Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
26
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27
He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28
And he let
it
fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
30
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
was
yet in their mouths,
31
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen
men
of Israel.
32
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
35
And they remembered that God
was
their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38
But he,
being
full of compassion, forgave
their
iniquity, and destroyed
them
not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
For he remembered that they
were but
flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and
grieve him in the desert!
41
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42
They remembered not his hand,
nor
the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels
among them.
50
He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of
their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52
But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53
And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
even to
this mountain,
which
his right hand had purchased.
55
He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59
When God heard
this,
he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
which
he placed among men;
61
And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
62
He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63
The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,
and
like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67
Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69
And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces,
like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
79
O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
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.
3
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
there was
none to bury
them.
4
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5
How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
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.
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.
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;
12
And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
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
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest
between
the cherubims, shine forth.
2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
and
save us.
3
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9
Thou preparedst
room
before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like
the goodly cedars.
11
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12
Why hast thou
then
broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch
that
thou madest strong for thyself.
16
It is
burned with fire,
it is
cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
whom
thou madest strong for thyself.
18
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
81
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4
For this
was
a statute for Israel,
and
a law of the God of Jacob.
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.
6
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
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.
8
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
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.
11
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12
So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust:
and
they walked in their own counsels.
13
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me,
and
Israel had walked in my ways!
14
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
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
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4
Deliver the poor and needy: rid
them
out of the hand of the wicked.
5
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6
I have said, Ye
are
gods; and all of you
are
children of the most High.
7
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
83
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
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.
5
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9
Do unto them as
unto
the Midianites; as
to
Sisera, as
to
Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10
Which
perished at Endor: they became
as
dung for the earth.
11
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18
That
men
may know that thou, whose name alone
is
JEHOVAH,
art
the most high over all the earth.
84
How amiable
are
thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
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.
4
Blessed
are
they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5
Blessed
is
the man whose strength
is
in thee; in whose heart
are
the ways
of them.
6
Who
passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7
They go from strength to strength,
every one of them
in Zion appeareth before God.
8
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
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.
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.
12
O LORD of hosts, blessed
is
the man that trusteth in thee.
85
LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned
thyself
from the fierceness of thine anger.
4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
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.
9
Surely his salvation
is
nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed
each other.
11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12
Yea, the LORD shall give
that which is
good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set
us
in the way of his steps.
86
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I
am
poor and needy.
2
Preserve my soul; for I
am
holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
For thou, Lord,
art
good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8
Among the gods
there is
none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
are there any works
like unto thy works.
9
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10
For thou
art
great, and doest wondrous things: thou
art
God alone.
11
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13
For great
is
thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
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.
15
But thou, O Lord,
art
a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see
it,
and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
