136:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:002 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:003 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:004 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:005 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:006 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:007 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:008 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:009 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:010 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:011 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:012 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:013 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:014 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:015 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:016 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:017 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:018 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:019 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:020 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:021 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:022 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:023 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever: 136:024 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:025 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. 136:026 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
137:001 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 137:002 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 137:003 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 137:004 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? 137:005 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 137:006 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 137:007 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 137:008 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 137:009 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
138:001 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 138:002 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 138:003 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 138:004 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 138:005 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. 138:006 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 138:007 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 138:008 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
139:001 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 139:002 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 139:003 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 139:004 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 139:005 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 139:006 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 139:007 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 139:008 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 139:009 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 139:010 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 139:011 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 139:012 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 139:013 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 139:014 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 139:015 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 139:016 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 139:017 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 139:018 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 139:019 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 139:020 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 139:021 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 139:022 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 139:023 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 139:024 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
140:001 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 140:002 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 140:003 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. 140:004 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 140:005 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 140:006 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 140:007 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 140:008 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 140:009 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 140:010 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 140:011 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 140:012 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 140:013 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
141:001 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 141:002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 141:003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 141:004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 141:005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 141:006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 141:007 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. 141:008 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 141:009 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 141:010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 142:002 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 142:003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 142:005 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 142:007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 143:002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 143:003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 143:004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 143:005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 143:006 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. 143:007 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 143:008 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 143:009 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 143:010 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 143:011 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 143:012 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
144:001 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 144:002 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 144:003 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 144:004 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 144:005 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 144:006 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 144:007 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 144:008 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 144:009 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 144:010 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 144:011 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 144:012 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 144:013 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 144:014 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 144:015 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
145:001 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 145:002 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 145:003 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 145:004 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 145:005 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 145:006 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 145:007 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 145:008 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 145:009 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 145:010 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. 145:011 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; 145:012 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 145:013 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 145:014 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 145:015 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 145:016 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 145:017 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 145:018 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 145:019 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 145:020 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 145:021 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
146:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 146:002 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 146:003 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 146:004 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 146:005 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 146:006 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 146:007 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 146:008 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 146:009 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 146:010 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
147:001 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 147:002 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 147:003 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 147:004 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 147:005 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 147:006 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 147:007 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 147:008 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 147:009 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 147:010 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 147:011 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 147:012 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 147:013 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 147:014 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 147:015 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 147:016 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 147:017 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 147:018 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 147:019 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 147:020 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
148:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 148:002 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 148:003 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 148:004 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 148:005 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 148:006 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 148:007 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 148:008 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: 148:009 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 148:010 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 148:011 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 148:012 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 148:013 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 148:014 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
149:001 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 149:002 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 149:003 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 149:004 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 149:005 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 149:006 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 149:007 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 149:008 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 149:009 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
150:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 150:002 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 150:003 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 150:004 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 150:005 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 150:006 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
