80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

  80:12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

  80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

  80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

  80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

  80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

  80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

  80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

  80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

  81:1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

  81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

  81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

  81:4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

  81:5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

  81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

  81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.

  Selah.

  81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

  81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

  81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

  81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

  81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

  81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

  81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

  81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

  81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

  82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

  82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

  82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

  82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

  82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

  82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

  82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

  82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

  83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

  83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

  83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

  83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

  83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

  83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

  83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

  83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot.

  Selah.

  83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

  83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

  83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

  83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

  83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

  83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

  83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

  83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

  83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

  83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

  84:1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

  84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

  84:3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

  84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

  84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

  84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

  84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

  84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

  84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

  84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

  84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

  84:12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

  85:1 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

  85:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

  85:3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

  85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

  85:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

  85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

  85:7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

  85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

  85:9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

  85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

  85:11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

  85:12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

  85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

  86:1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

  86:2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

  86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

  86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

  86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto
all them that call upon thee.

  86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

  86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

  86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

  86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

  86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

  86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

  86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

  86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

  86:14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

  86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

  86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

  86:17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

  87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

  87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

  87:3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

  87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

  87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

  87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

  87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

  88:1 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

  88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

  88:3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

  88:4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

  88:5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

  88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

  88:7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.

  88:8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

  88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

  88:10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

  88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

  88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

  88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

  88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

  88:15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

  88:16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

  88:17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

  88:18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

  89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

  89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

  89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

  89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

  89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

  89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

  89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

  89:8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

  89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

  89:10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

  89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

  89:12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

  89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

  89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

  89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

  89:16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

  89:17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

  89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

  89:19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

  89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

  89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

  89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

  89:23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

  89:24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

  89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

  89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

  89:27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

  89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

  89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

  89:30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

  89:31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

  89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

  89:33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

  89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

  89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

  89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

  89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

  89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

  89:39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

  89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

  89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

  89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast
made all his enemies to rejoice.
