therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
19:046:001 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
trouble.
19:046:002 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and
though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
19:046:003 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the
mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
19:046:004 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city
of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
19:046:005 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall
help her, and that right early.
19:046:006 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his
voice, the earth melted.
19:046:007 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
19:046:008 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath
made in the earth.
19:046:009 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh
the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the
chariot in the fire.
19:046:010 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the
heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
19:046:011 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
19:047:001 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the
voice of triumph.
19:047:002 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over
all the earth.
19:047:003 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our
feet.
19:047:004 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of
Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
19:047:005 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a
trumpet.
19:047:006 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King,
sing praises.
19:047:007 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with
understanding.
19:047:008 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of
his holiness.
19:047:009 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the
people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth
belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
19:048:001 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of
our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
19:048:002 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount
Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
19:048:003 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
19:048:004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
19:048:005 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and
hasted away.
19:048:006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in
travail.
19:048:007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
19:048:008 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of
hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.
Selah.
19:048:009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
thy temple.
19:048:010 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends
of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
19:048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
19:048:012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers
thereof.
19:048:013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may
tell it to the generation following.
19:048:014 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our
guide even unto death.
19:049:001 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the
world:
19:049:002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
19:049:003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
shall be of understanding.
19:049:004 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark
saying upon the harp.
19:049:005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity
of my heels shall compass me about?
19:049:006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the
multitude of their riches;
19:049:007 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to
God a ransom for him:
19:049:008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth
for ever:)
19:049:009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
19:049:010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
19:049:011 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for
ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call
their lands after their own names.
19:049:012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the
beasts that perish.
19:049:013 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve
their sayings. Selah.
19:049:014 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from
their dwelling.
19:049:015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for
he shall receive me. Selah.
19:049:016 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of
his house is increased;
19:049:017 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall
not descend after him.
19:049:018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise
thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19:049:019 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never
see light.
19:049:020 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the
beasts that perish.
19:050:001 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the
earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
19:050:002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
19:050:003 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall
devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round
about him.
19:050:004 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth,
that he may judge his people.
19:050:005 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a
covenant with me by sacrifice.
19:050:006 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is
judge himself. Selah.
19:050:007 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will
testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
19:050:008 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
offerings, to have been continually before me.
19:050:009 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of
thy folds.
19:050:010 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.
19:050:011 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of
the field are mine.
19:050:012 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is
mine, and the fulness thereof.
19:050:013 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
19:050:014 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most
High:
19:050:015 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee,
and thou shalt glorify me.
19:050:016 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare
my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
mouth?
19:050:017 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind
thee.
19:050:018 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with adulterers.
19:050:019 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
19:050:020 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
19:050:021 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I
will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
19:050:022 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in
pieces, and there be none to deliver.
19:050:023 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
19:051:001 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
19:051:002 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my
sin.
19:051:003 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before
me.
19:051:004 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in
thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest.
19:051:005 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
19:051:006 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
19:051:007 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow.
19:051:008 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
19:051:009 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
19:051:010 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
19:051:011 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
19:051:012 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit.
19:051:013 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
19:051:014 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy
righteousness.
19:051:015 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.
19:051:016 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt offering.
19:051:017 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
19:051:018 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls
of Jerusalem.
19:051:019 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
19:052:001 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the
goodness of God endureth continually.
19:052:002 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
19:052:003 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to
speak righteousness. Selah.
19:052:004 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
19:052:005 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee
out of the land of the living. Selah.
19:052:006 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
him:
19:052:007 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but
trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
19:052:008 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust
in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
19:052:009 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I
will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
19:053:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that
doeth good.
19:053:002 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
19:053:003 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
19:053:004 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
19:053:005 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath
scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou
hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
19:053:006 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When
God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
19:054:001 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
19:054:002 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
19:054:003 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek
after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
19:054:004 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold
my soul.
19:054:005 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy
truth.
19:054:006 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O
LORD; for it is good.
19:054:007 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath
seen his desire upon mine enemies.
19:055:001 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my
supplication.
19:055:002 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make
a noise;
19:055:003 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression
of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath
they hate me.
19:055:004 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death
are fallen upon me.
19:055:005 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath
overwhelmed me.
19:055:006 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I
fly away, and be at rest.
19:055:007 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.
Selah.
19:055:008 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
19:055:009 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen
violence and strife in the city.
19:055:010 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
19:055:011 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart
not from her streets.
19:055:012 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have
borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify
himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
19:055:013 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
acquaintance.
19:055:014 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of
God in company.
19:055:015 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into
hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
19:055:016 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
19:055:017 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
19:055:018 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was
against me: for there were many with me.
19:055:019 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.
Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not
God.
19:055:020 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with
him: he hath broken his covenant.
19:055:021 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was
in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they
drawn swords.
19:055:022 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he
shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
19:055:023 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
their days; but I will trust in thee.
19:056:001 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he
fighting daily oppresseth me.
19:056:002 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that
fight against me, O thou most High.
19:056:003 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
19:056:004 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I
will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
19:056:005 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against
me for evil.
19:056:006 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they
mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
19:056:007 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the
people, O God.
19:056:008 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
19:056:009 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this
I know; for God is for me.
19:056:010 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his
word.
19:056:011 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can
do unto me.
19:056:012 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
19:056:013 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou
deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in
the light of the living?
19:057:001 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul
trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make
my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
19:057:002 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all
things for me.
19:057:003 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of
him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his
mercy and his truth.
19:057:004 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set
on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and
arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
19:057:005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be
above all the earth.
19:057:006 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they
are fallen themselves. Selah.
19:057:007 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and
give praise.
19:057:008 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will
awake early.
19:057:009 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
19:057:010 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto
the clouds.
19:057:011 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be
above all the earth.
19:058:001 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge
uprightly, O ye sons of men?
19:058:002 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of
your hands in the earth.
19:058:003 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon
as they be born, speaking lies.
19:058:004 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like
the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
19:058:005 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming
never so wisely.
19:058:006 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great
teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
19:058:007 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he
bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in
pieces.
19:058:008 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away:
like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the
sun.
19:058:009 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away
as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
19:058:010 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he
shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
19:058:011 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the
righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
19:059:001 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them
that rise up against me.
19:059:002 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from
bloody men.
19:059:003 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered
against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
19:059:004 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to
help me, and behold.
19:059:005 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake
to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked
transgressors. Selah.
19:059:006 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
19:059:007 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their
lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
19:059:008 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the
heathen in derision.
19:059:009 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my
defence.
19:059:010 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies.
19:059:011 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy
power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
19:059:012 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let
them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying
which they speak.
19:059:013 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and
let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the
earth. Selah.
19:059:014 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like
a dog, and go round about the city.
19:059:015 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be
not satisfied.
19:059:016 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge
in the day of my trouble.
19:059:017 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence,
and the God of my mercy.
19:060:001 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou
hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
19:060:002 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal
the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
19:060:003 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to
drink the wine of astonishment.
19:060:004 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may
be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
19:060:005 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand,
and hear me.
19:060:006 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
19:060:007 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the
strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
19:060:008 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
19:060:009 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom?
19:060:010 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O
God, which didst not go out with our armies?
19:060:011 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
19:060:012 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall
tread down our enemies.
19:061:001 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
19:061:002 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart
is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
19:061:003 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from
the enemy.
19:061:004 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the
covert of thy wings. Selah.
19:061:005 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the
heritage of those that fear thy name.
19:061:006 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many
generations.
19:061:007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,
which may preserve him.
19:061:008 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily
perform my vows.
19:062:001 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
19:062:002 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall
not be greatly moved.
19:062:003 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be
slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a
tottering fence.
19:062:004 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they
delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse
inwardly. Selah.
19:062:005 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from
him.
19:062:006 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall
not be moved.
19:062:007 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,

19:063:005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my
mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
