Chapter 6

19:068:026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

19:068:027 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

19:068:028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.

19:068:029 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

19:068:030 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

19:068:031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

19:068:032 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

19:068:033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

19:068:034 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

19:068:035 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

19:069:001 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

19:069:002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

19:069:003 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

19:069:004 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

19:069:005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

19:069:006 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

19:069:007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

19:069:008 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

19:069:009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

19:069:010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

19:069:011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

19:069:012 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

19:069:013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

19:069:014 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

19:069:015 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

19:069:016 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

19:069:017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

19:069:018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

19:069:019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

19:069:020 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

19:069:021 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

19:069:022 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

19:069:023 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

19:069:024 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

19:069:025 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

19:069:026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

19:069:027 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

19:069:028 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

19:069:029 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

19:069:030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

19:069:031 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

19:069:032 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

19:069:033 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

19:069:034 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

19:069:035 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

19:069:036 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

19:070:001 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.

19:070:002 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

19:070:003 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

19:070:004 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

19:070:005 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

19:071:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

19:071:002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

19:071:003 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

19:071:004 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

19:071:005 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

19:071:006 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

19:071:007 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

19:071:008 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

19:071:009 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

19:071:010 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

19:071:011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

19:071:012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

19:071:013 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

19:071:014 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

19:071:015 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

19:071:016 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

19:071:017 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

19:071:018 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

19:071:019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

19:071:020 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

19:071:021 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

19:071:022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

19:071:023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

19:071:024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

19:072:001 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

19:072:002 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

19:072:003 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

19:072:004 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

19:072:005 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

19:072:006 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

19:072:007 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

19:072:008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

19:072:009 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

19:072:010 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

19:072:011 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

19:072:012 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

19:072:013 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

19:072:014 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

19:072:015 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

19:072:016 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

19:072:017 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

19:072:018 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

19:072:019 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

19:072:020 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

19:073:001 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

19:073:002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

19:073:003 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

19:073:004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

19:073:028 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

19:074:003 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

19:074:004 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

19:074:005 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

19:074:006 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

19:074:007 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

19:074:008 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

19:074:009 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

19:074:010 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

19:074:011 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

19:074:012 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

19:074:013 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

19:074:014 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

19:074:015 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

19:074:016 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

19:074:017 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

19:074:018 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

19:074:019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

19:074:020 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

19:074:021 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

19:074:022 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

19:074:023 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

19:075:001 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

19:075:002 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

19:075:003 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

19:075:004 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

19:075:005 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

19:075:006 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

19:075:007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

19:075:008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

19:075:009 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

19:075:010 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

19:076:001 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

19:076:002 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

19:076:003 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

19:076:004 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

19:076:005 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

19:076:006 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

19:076:007 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

19:076:008 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

19:076:009 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

19:076:010 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

19:076:011 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

19:076:012 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

19:077:001 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

19:077:002 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

19:077:003 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

19:077:004 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

19:077:005 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

19:077:006 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

19:077:007 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

19:077:008 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

19:077:009 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

19:077:010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

19:077:011 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

19:077:012 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

19:077:013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

19:077:014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

19:077:015 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

19:077:016 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

19:077:017 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

19:077:018 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19:077:019 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

19:077:020 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

19:078:001 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

19:078:002 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

19:078:003 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

19:078:004 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.

19:078:005 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:

19:078:006 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

19:078:007 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

19:078:008 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.

19:078:009 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

19:078:010 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

19:078:011 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

19:078:012 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

19:078:013 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

19:078:014 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

19:078:015 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
