Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 119
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect
unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not
utterly. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O
let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments
of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have
respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will
not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I
may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous
things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath
unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for
I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me:
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my
counselors. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest
me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen
thou me according unto thy word. Remove from me the way of lying: and grant
me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments
have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord,
put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when
thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes;
and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and
not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;
and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy
judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,
even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out
of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever
and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before
kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy
word hath quickened me. The proud have had me greatly in derision:
yet have I not declined from thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord;
and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me because of
the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house
of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the
night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that
I would keep thy words. I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but
I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
and of them that keep thy precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach
me thy statutes. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for
I have believed thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but
now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but
I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad when they
see me; because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be
for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that
I may live: for thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely
with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and
those that have known thy testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that
I be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I
hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When
wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;
yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant? when
wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? The proud have digged pits for me, which are
not after thy law. All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute
me wrongfully; help thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but
I forsook not thy precepts. Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall
I keep the testimony of thy mouth. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine
ordinances: for all are thy servants. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should
then have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts: for with
them thou hast quickened me. I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy
precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:
but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but
thy commandment is exceeding broad. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation
all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because
I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for
thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light
unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that
I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings
of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do
I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I
erred not from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage
for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy
statutes alway, even unto the end. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I
hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep
the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I
may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and
I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from
thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth
like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I
am afraid of thy judgments. I have done judgment and justice: leave me
not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not
the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for
the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy,
and teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant; give me understanding, that
I may know thy testimonies. It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they
have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold;
yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth
my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it
giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed
for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,
as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word: and let not any
iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so
will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and
teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because
they keep not thy law. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are
thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are
righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies
have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant
loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget
thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:
yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord:
I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep
thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and
cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that
I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief:
they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments
are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of
old that thou hast founded them for ever. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me:
for I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me
according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: for they
seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken
me according to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;
because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken
me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every
one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:
but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth
great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee because
of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and
done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love
them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies:
for all my ways are before thee. Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord:
give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver
me according to thy word. My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast
taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all
thy commandments are righteousness. Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen
thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and
thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
and let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek
thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the
Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through
thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts
are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a
fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when
all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn
of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine
enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm
tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my
rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 42
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living
God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 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. 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. 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. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 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. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou
forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies
reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 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. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 119
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect

of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 42
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living
God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 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. 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. 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. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 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. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou
forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies
reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 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. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 119
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect
unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not
utterly. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O
let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments
of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have
respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will
not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I
may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous
things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath
unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for
I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me:
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my
counselors. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest
me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen
thou me according unto thy word. Remove from me the way of lying: and grant
me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments
have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord,
put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when
thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes;
and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and
not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;
and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy
judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,
even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out
of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever
and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before
kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy
word hath quickened me. The proud have had me greatly in derision:
yet have I not declined from thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord;
and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me because of
the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house
of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the
night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that
I would keep thy words. I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but
I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
and of them that keep thy precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach
me thy statutes. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for
I have believed thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but
now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but
I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad when they
see me; because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be
for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that
I may live: for thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely
with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and
those that have known thy testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that
I be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I
hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When
wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;
yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant? when
wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? The proud have digged pits for me, which are
not after thy law. All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute
me wrongfully; help thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but
I forsook not thy precepts. Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall
I keep the testimony of thy mouth. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine
ordinances: for all are thy servants. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should
then have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts: for with
them thou hast quickened me. I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy
precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:
but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but
thy commandment is exceeding broad. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation
all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because
I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for
thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light
unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that
I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings
of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do
I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I
erred not from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage
for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy
statutes alway, even unto the end. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I
hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep
the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I
may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and
I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from
thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth
like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I
am afraid of thy judgments. I have done judgment and justice: leave me
not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not
the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for
the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy,
and teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant; give me understanding, that
I may know thy testimonies. It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they
have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold;
yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth
my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it
giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed
for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,
as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word: and let not any
iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so
will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and
teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because
they keep not thy law. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are
thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are
righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies
have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant
loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget
thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:
yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord:
I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep
thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and
cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that
I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief:
they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments
are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of
old that thou hast founded them for ever. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me:
for I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me
according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: for they
seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken
me according to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;
because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken
me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every
one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:
but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth
great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee because
of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and
done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love
them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies:
for all my ways are before thee. Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord:
give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver
me according to thy word. My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast
taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all
thy commandments are righteousness. Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen
thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and
thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
and let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek
thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the
Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through
thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts
are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a
fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when
all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn
of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine
enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm
tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my
rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 42
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living
God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my

the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 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. 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. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 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. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou
forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies

who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 119
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect

thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the
Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through
thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts
are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a
fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when
all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn
of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine
enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm
tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my
rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 42
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living
God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 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. 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. 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. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 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. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou
forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies
reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 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. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 119
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts
diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect
unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart,
when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not
utterly. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O
let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments
of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have
respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will
not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I
may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous
things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy
commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath
unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for
I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me:
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my
counselors. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou
me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest
me: teach me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen
thou me according unto thy word. Remove from me the way of lying: and grant
me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments
have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord,
put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when
thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes;
and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and
not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;
and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is
devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy
judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:
quicken me in thy righteousness. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,
even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out
of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever
and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also before
kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in thy commandments,
which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which
thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy
word hath quickened me. The proud have had me greatly in derision:
yet have I not declined from thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord;
and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me because of
the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house
of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the
night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that
I would keep thy words. I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy
commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but
I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
and of them that keep thy precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach
me thy statutes. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for
I have believed thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but
now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy
statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but
I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight
in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted;
that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than
thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give
me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad when they
see me; because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right,
and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be
for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that
I may live: for thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely
with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and
those that have known thy testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that
I be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I
hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When
wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like a bottle in the smoke;
yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant? when
wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? The proud have digged pits for me, which are
not after thy law. All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute
me wrongfully; help thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but
I forsook not thy precepts. Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall
I keep the testimony of thy mouth. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine
ordinances: for all are thy servants. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should
then have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts: for with
them thou hast quickened me. I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy
precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:
but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection: but
thy commandment is exceeding broad. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation
all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because
I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments: for
thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light
unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that
I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord,
according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings
of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand: yet do
I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I
erred not from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage
for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy
statutes alway, even unto the end. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I
hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep
the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I
may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and
I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from
thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth
like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I
am afraid of thy judgments. I have done judgment and justice: leave me
not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant for good: let not
the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for
the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy,
and teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant; give me understanding, that
I may know thy testimonies. It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they
have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold;
yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right; and I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth
my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it
giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed
for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,
as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word: and let not any
iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so
will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and
teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because
they keep not thy law. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are
thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are
righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies
have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant
loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget
thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me:
yet thy commandments are my delights. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting:
give me understanding, and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord:
I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep
thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and
cried: I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that
I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief:
they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments
are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of
old that thou hast founded them for ever. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me:
for I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me
according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: for they
seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken
me according to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies;
yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved;
because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken
me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every
one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause:
but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth
great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee because
of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and
done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love
them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies:
for all my ways are before thee. Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord:
give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver
me according to thy word. My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast
taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all
thy commandments are righteousness. Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen
thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and
thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
and let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek
thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Psalm 92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the
Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon
the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through
thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts
are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a
fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when
all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn
of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine
enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm
tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the
Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my
rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they

of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 42
