036:001 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. 036:002 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. 036:003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. 036:004 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 036:005 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 036:006 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 036:007 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 036:008 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 036:009 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 036:010 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 036:011 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. 036:012 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
037:001 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 037:002 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 037:003 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 037:004 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 037:005 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 037:006 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 037:007 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 037:008 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 037:009 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 037:010 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 037:011 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 037:012 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 037:013 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 037:014 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 037:015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 037:016 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 037:017 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 037:018 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 037:019 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 037:020 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 037:021 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 037:022 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 037:023 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 037:024 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 037:025 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 037:026 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 037:027 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 037:028 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 037:029 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 037:030 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 037:031 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 037:032 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 037:033 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 037:034 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 037:035 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 037:036 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 037:037 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 037:038 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 037:039 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 037:040 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
038:001 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 038:002 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. 038:003 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 038:004 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 038:005 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 038:006 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 038:007 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 038:008 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 038:009 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 038:010 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 038:011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 038:012 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 038:013 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 038:014 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 038:015 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. 038:016 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 038:017 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 038:018 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 038:019 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 038:020 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. 038:021 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. 038:022 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
039:001 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 039:002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. 039:003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, 039:004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. 039:005 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 039:006 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. 039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. 039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. 039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. 039:011 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah. 039:012 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 039:013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
040:001 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 040:002 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 040:003 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 040:004 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 040:005 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 040:006 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 040:007 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 040:008 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 040:009 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 040:010 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 040:011 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 040:012 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. 040:013 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. 040:014 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 040:015 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 040:016 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. 040:017 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
041:001 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 041:002 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 041:003 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 041:004 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 041:005 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 041:006 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 041:007 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 041:008 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 041:009 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 041:010 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 041:011 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 041:012 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 041:013 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
042:001 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 042:002 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 042:003 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 042:004 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 042:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 042:006 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 042:007 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 042:008 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 042:009 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 042:010 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 042:011 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
043:001 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 043:002 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 043:003 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 043:004 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 043:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
044:001 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 044:002 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 044:003 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 044:004 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 044:005 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 044:006 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 044:007 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 044:008 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 044:009 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 044:010 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 044:011 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 044:012 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 044:013 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 044:014 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 044:015 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 044:016 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 044:017 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 044:018 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 044:019 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 044:020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 044:021 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 044:022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 044:023 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 044:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 044:025 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 044:026 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
045:001 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 045:002 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 045:003 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 045:004 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 045:005 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 045:006 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 045:007 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 045:008 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 045:009 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 045:010 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 045:011 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 045:012 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 045:013 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 045:014 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 045:015 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. 045:016 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 045:017 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
046:001 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 046:002 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 046:003 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 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. 046:005 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 046:006 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 046:007 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 046:008 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 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. 046:010 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 046:011 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
047:001 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 047:002 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 047:003 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 047:004 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 047:005 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 047:006 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 047:007 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. 047:008 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 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.
048:001 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 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. 048:003 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 048:004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 048:005 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. 048:006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 048:007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 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. 048:009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. 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. 048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. 048:012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. 048:013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. 048:014 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
049:001 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 049:002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. 049:003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 049:004 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 049:005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? 049:006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 049:007 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 049:008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 049:009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 049:010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 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. 049:012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 049:013 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 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. 049:015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 049:016 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 049:017 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 049:018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 049:019 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 049:020 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
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. 050:002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 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. 050:004 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 050:005 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 050:006 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. 050:007 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. 050:008 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 050:009 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 050:010 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 050:011 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 050:012 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 050:013 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 050:014 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 050:015 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 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? 050:017 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. 050:018 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 050:019 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 050:020 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 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. 050:022 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 050:023 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
