Chapter 7

19:078:016 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

19:078:017 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

19:078:018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

19:078:019 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

19:078:020 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?

19:078:021 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

19:078:022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

19:078:023 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

19:078:024 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

19:078:025 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

19:078:026 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

19:078:027 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

19:078:028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

19:078:029 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

19:078:030 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

19:078:031 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

19:078:032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

19:078:033 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

19:078:034 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

19:078:035 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

19:078:036 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

19:078:037 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

19:078:038 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.

19:078:039 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

19:078:040 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

19:078:041 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

19:078:042 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

19:078:043 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.

19:078:044 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

19:078:045 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

19:078:046 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

19:078:047 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

19:078:048 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

19:078:049 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

19:078:050 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

19:078:051 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

19:078:052 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

19:078:053 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

19:078:054 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

19:078:055 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.

19:078:056 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

19:078:057 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

19:078:058 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

19:078:059 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

19:078:060 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

19:078:061 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

19:078:062 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

19:078:063 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

19:078:064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

19:078:065 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

19:078:066 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

19:078:067 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

19:078:068 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

19:078:069 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

19:078:070 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

19:078:071 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

19:078:072 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

19:079:001 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

19:079:002 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.

19:079:003 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

19:079:004 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

19:079:005 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

19:079:006 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

19:079:007 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

19:079:008 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

19:079:009 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.

19:079:010 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.

19:079:011 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

19:079:012 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

19:079:013 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

19:080:001 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

19:080:002 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

19:080:003 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

19:080:004 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

19:080:005 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

19:080:006 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

19:080:007 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

19:080:008 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

19:080:009 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

19:080:010 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

19:080:011 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

19:080:012 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

19:080:013 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

19:080:014 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

19:080:015 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

19:080:016 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

19:080:017 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

19:080:018 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19:080:019 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

19:081:001 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

19:081:002 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

19:081:003 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

19:081:004 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

19:081:005 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.

19:081:006 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

19:081:007 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.

19:081:008 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

19:081:009 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

19:081:010 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

19:081:011 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

19:081:012 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

19:081:013 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

19:081:014 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

19:081:015 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

19:081:016 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

19:082:001 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

19:082:002 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

19:082:003 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

19:082:004 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

19:082:005 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

19:082:006 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

19:082:007 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

19:082:008 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

19:083:001 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

19:083:002 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

19:083:003 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

19:083:004 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.

19:083:005 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

19:083:006 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

19:083:007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

19:083:008 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

19:083:009 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

19:083:010 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

19:083:011 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

19:083:012 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

19:083:013 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

19:083:014 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

19:083:015 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

19:083:016 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

19:083:017 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

19:083:018 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

19:084:001 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

19:084:002 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

19:084:003 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.

19:084:004 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

19:084:005 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

19:084:006 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

19:084:007 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

19:084:008 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

19:084:009 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

19:084:010 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.

19:084:011 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.

19:084:012 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

19:085:001 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

19:085:002 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

19:085:003 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

19:085:004 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

19:085:005 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

19:085:006 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

19:085:007 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

19:085:008 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.

19:085:009 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

19:085:010 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

19:085:011 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

19:085:012 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

19:085:013 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

19:086:001 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

19:086:002 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

19:086:003 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

19:086:004 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

19:086:005 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

19:086:006 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

19:086:007 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

19:086:008 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

19:086:009 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

19:086:010 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

19:086:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

19:086:012 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

19:086:013 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

19:086:014 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.

19:086:015 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

19:086:016 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

19:086:017 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

19:087:001 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

19:087:002 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

19:087:003 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

19:087:004 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

19:087:005 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

19:087:006 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

19:087:007 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

19:088:001 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

19:088:002 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

19:088:003 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

19:088:004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

19:088:005 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

19:088:006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

19:088:007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

19:088:008 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

19:088:009 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

19:088:010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

19:088:011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

19:088:012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

19:088:013 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

19:088:014 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

19:088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

19:088:016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

19:088:017 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

19:088:018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

19:089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

19:089:002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

19:089:003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

19:089:004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

19:089:005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

19:089:006 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

19:089:007 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

19:089:008 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

19:089:009 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

19:089:010 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

19:089:011 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

19:089:012 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
