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.
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
