  22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

  22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

  22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.

  22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

  22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

  22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

  23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

  23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

  23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

  23:4 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.

  23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

  23:6 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.

  24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

  24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

  24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

  24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

  24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

  24:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

  24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

  24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

  24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

  24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

  25:1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

  25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

  25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

  25:4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

  25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

  25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

  25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

  25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

  25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

  25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

  25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

  25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

  25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

  25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

  25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

  25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

  25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

  25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

  25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

  25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

  25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

  25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

  26:1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

  26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

  26:3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

  26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

  26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

  26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

  26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

  26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

  26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

  26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

  26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

  26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

  27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

  27:2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

  27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

  27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

  27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

  27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

  27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

  27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

  27:9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

  27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

  27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

  27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

  27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

  27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

  28:1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

  28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

  28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

  28:4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

  28:5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.


  28:6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

  28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

  28:8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

  28:9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

  29:1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

  29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

  29:3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

  29:4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

  29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

  29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

  29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

  29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

  29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

  29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

  29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

  30:1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

  30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

  30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

  30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

  30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

  30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

  30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

  30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

  30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

  30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

  30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

  30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

  O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

  31:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

  31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

  31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

  31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

  31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

  31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

  31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

  31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

  31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

  31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

  31:11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

  31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

  31:13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

  31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

  31:15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

  31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

  31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

  31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

  31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

  31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

  31:21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

  31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

  31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

  31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

  32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

  32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

  32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

  32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

  32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

  32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

  32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

  32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

  32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

  32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

  32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

  33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

  33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

  33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

  33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

  33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

  33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

  33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

  33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

  33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

  33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

  33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.r />
  33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

  33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

  33:14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

  33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

  33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

  33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

  33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

  33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

  33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

  33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

  33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

  34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

  34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

  34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

  34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

  34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

  34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

  34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

  34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

  34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

  34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

  34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

  34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

  34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

  34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

  34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
