Book 19 Psalms

19:001:001 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.

19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.

19:001:003 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.

19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.

19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying,

19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.

19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
have them in derision.

19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure.

19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.

19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a potter's vessel.

19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.

19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

19:002:012 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.

19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they
that rise up against me.

19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
in God. Selah.

19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the
lifter up of mine head.

19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
his holy hill. Selah.

19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me round about.

19:003:007 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth
of the ungodly.

19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
people. Selah.

19:004:001 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast
enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.

19:004:002 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still. Selah.

19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
the LORD.

19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.

19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety.

19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
unto thee will I pray.

19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.

19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.

19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

19:005:007 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of
thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.

19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.

19:005:009 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.

19:005:010 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for
they have rebelled against thee.

19:005:011 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them
also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as with a shield.

19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.

19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me;
for my bones are vexed.

19:006:003 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
sake.

19:006:005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?

19:006:006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch with my tears.

19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.

19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.

19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.

19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed suddenly.

19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me, and deliver me:

19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
there is none to deliver.

19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;

19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

19:007:005 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him
tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.

19:007:006 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that
thou hast commanded.

19:007:007 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

19:007:008 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is
in me.

19:007:009 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts
and reins.

19:007:010 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

19:007:011 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.

19:007:012 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.

19:007:013 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

19:007:015 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.

19:007:016 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

19:007:017 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

19:008:002 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.

19:008:003 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

19:008:004 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?

19:008:005 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour.

19:008:006 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:

19:008:007 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

19:008:008 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.

19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

19:009:001 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.

19:009:002 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.

19:009:003 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence.

19:009:004 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.

19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

19:009:006 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them.

19:009:007 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.

19:009:008 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

19:009:009 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.

19:009:010 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

19:009:011 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.

19:009:012 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

19:009:013 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates
of death:

19:009:014 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

19:009:015 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken.

19:009:016 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
Selah.

19:009:017 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.

19:009:018 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.

19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged
in thy sight.

19:009:020 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves
to be but men. Selah.

19:010:001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?

19:010:002 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.

19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

19:010:004 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

19:010:005 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out
of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

19:010:006 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.

19:010:007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.

19:010:008 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are
privily set against the poor.

19:010:009 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him into his net.

19:010:010 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.

19:010:011 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.

19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.

19:010:013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.

19:010:014 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to
requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto
thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

19:010:015 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out
his wickedness till thou find none.

19:010:016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land.

19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

19:010:018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.

19:011:001 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a
bird to your mountain?

19:011:002 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their
arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.

19:011:003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in
heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

19:011:005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.

19:011:006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and
an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

19:011:007 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the upright.

19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.

19:012:002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

19:012:003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things:

19:012:004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord over us?

19:012:005 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety
from him that puffeth at him.

19:012:006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.

19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.

19:012:008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.

19:013:001 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?

19:013:002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;

19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

19:013:005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.

19:013:006 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.

19:014:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.

19:014:002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

19:014:003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

19:014:004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

19:014:005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of
the righteous.

19:014:006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
his refuge.

19:014:007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in
thy holy hill?

19:015:002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.

19:015:003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth
them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
changeth not.

19:015:005 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never
be moved.

19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;

19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight.

19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.

19:016:005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my lot.

19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.

19:016:007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
also instruct me in the night seasons.

19:016:008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not be moved.

19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in hope.

19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.

19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the
night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am
purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that
rise up against them.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
thy wings,

19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who
compass me about.

19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
speak proudly.

19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the earth;

19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in secret places.

19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, which is thy sword:

19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou
fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and
leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.

19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
men made me afraid.

19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.

19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
him, even into his ears.

19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.

19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.

19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
of the breath of thy nostrils.

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
