Chapter 2

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

19:018:025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

19:018:027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

19:018:028 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

19:018:029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

19:018:030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

19:018:031 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

19:018:032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

19:018:033 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

19:018:035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

19:018:037 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

19:018:038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

19:018:039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

19:018:040 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

19:018:041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

19:018:042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

19:018:044 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

19:018:045 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

19:018:046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

19:018:047 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

19:018:048 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

19:018:049 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

19:018:050 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

19:019:001 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

19:019:002 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

19:019:003 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

19:019:004 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

19:019:005 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

19:019:006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

19:019:007 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

19:019:008 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

19:019:009 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

19:019:010 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

19:019:011 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

19:019:012 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

19:019:013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

19:019:014 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

19:020:001 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

19:020:002 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

19:020:003 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

19:020:004 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

19:020:005 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

19:020:006 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

19:020:007 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

19:020:008 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

19:020:009 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

19:021:001 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

19:021:002 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

19:021:003 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

19:021:004 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

19:021:005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

19:021:006 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

19:021:007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

19:021:008 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

19:021:009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

19:021:010 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

19:021:011 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

19:021:012 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

19:021:013 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

19:022:001 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

19:022:002 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

19:022:003 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

19:022:004 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

19:022:005 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

19:022:006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

19:022:007 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

19:022:008 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

19:022:009 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

19:022:010 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

19:022:011 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

19:022:012 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

19:022:013 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

19:022:014 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

19:022:015 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

19:022:016 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

19:022:017 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

19:022:018 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

19:022:019 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

19:022:020 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

19:022:021 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

19:022:022 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

19:022:023 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

19:022:024 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

19:022:025 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

19:022:026 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

19:022:027 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

19:022:028 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.

19:022:029 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

19:022:030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

19:022:031 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

19:023:001 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

19:023:002 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

19:023:003 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

19:023:004 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

19:023:005 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

19:023:006 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

19:024:001 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

19:024:002 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

19:024:003 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

19:024:004 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

19:024:005 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

19:024:006 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

19:024:007 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:008 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

19:024:009 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:010 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

19:025:001 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

19:025:002 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

19:025:003 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

19:025:004 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

19:025:005 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

19:025:006 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

19:025:007 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

19:025:008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

19:025:009 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

19:025:010 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

19:025:011 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

19:025:012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

19:025:013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

19:025:014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

19:025:015 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

19:025:016 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

19:025:017 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

19:025:018 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19:025:019 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

19:025:020 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

19:025:021 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

19:025:022 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

19:026:001 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

19:026:002 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

19:026:003 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

19:026:004 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

19:026:005 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

19:026:006 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

19:026:007 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

19:026:008 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

19:026:009 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

19:026:010 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

19:026:011 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

19:026:012 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

19:027:001 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

19:027:002 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

19:027:003 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

19:027:004 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

19:027:005 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

19:027:006 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

19:027:007 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

19:027:008 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

19:027:009 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

19:027:010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

19:027:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

19:027:012 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

19:027:013 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

19:027:014 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

19:028:001 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

19:028:002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

19:028:003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

19:028:004 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

19:028:005 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

19:028:006 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

19:028:007 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

19:028:008 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

19:028:009 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

19:029:001 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

19:029:002 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

19:029:003 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

19:029:004 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

19:029:005 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

19:029:006 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

19:029:007 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

19:029:008 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

19:029:009 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

19:029:010 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

19:029:011 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

19:030:001 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

19:030:002 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

19:030:003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

19:030:004 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

19:030:005 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

19:030:006 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

19:030:007 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

19:030:008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

19:030:009 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

19:030:010 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

19:030:011 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

19:030:012 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

19:031:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

19:031:002 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
