|1
|In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
|
|
|-
|2
|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.
|
|
|-
|3
|If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
|
|
|-
|4
|The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
|
|
|-
|5
|The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
|
|
|-
|6
|Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
|
|
|-
|7
|For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

|1
|Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
|
|
|-
|2
|They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
|
|
|-
|3
|The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
|
|
|-
|4
|Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
|
|
|-
|5
|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.
|
|
|-
|6
|The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
|

|Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

|1
|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.
|

|-
|2
|The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

|-
|3
|They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

|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.

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

|3
|But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

|The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

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

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

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

|For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

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

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

|-
|2
|Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

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

|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.

|I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
|
|
|-
|2
|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.
|
|
|-
|3
|I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
|
|
|-
|4
|The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
|
|
|-
|5
|The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
|
|
|-
|6
|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.
|
|
|-
|7
|Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
|
|
|-
|8
|There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
|
|
|-
|9
|He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
|
|
|-
|10
|And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
|
|
|-
|11
|He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
|
|
|-
|12
|At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
|
|
|-
|13
|The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
|
|
|-
|14
|Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
|
|
|-
|15
|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.
|
|
|-
|16
|He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
|
|
|-
|17
|He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
|
|
|-
|18
|They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
|
|
|-
|19
|He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
|
|
|-
|20
|The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
|
|
|-
|21
|For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
|
|
|-
|22
|For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
|
|
|-
|23
|I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
|
|
|-
|24
|Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
|
|
|-
|25
|With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
|
|
|-
|26
|With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
|
|
|-
|27
|For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
|
|
|-
|28
|For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
|
|
|-
|29
|For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
|
|
|-
|30
|As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
|
|
|-
|31
|For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
|
|
|-
|32
|It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
|
|
|-
|33
|He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
|
|
|-
|34
|He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
|
|
|-
|35
|Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
|
|
|-
|36
|Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
|
|
|-
|37
|I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
|
|
|-
|38
|I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
|
|
|-
|39
|For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
|
|
|-
|40
|Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
|
|
|-
|41
|They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
|
|
|-
|42
|Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
|
|
|-
|43
|Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
|
|
|-
|44
|As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
|
|
|-
|45
|The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
|
|
|-
|46
|The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
|
|
|-
|47
|It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
|
|
|-
|48
|He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
|
|
|-
|49
|Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
|

|50
|Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
