  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.

  89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

  89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

  89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

  89:46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

  89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

  89:48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

  89:49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

  89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

  89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

  89:52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

  90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

  90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

  90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

  90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

  90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

  90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

  90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

  90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

  90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

  90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

  90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

  90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

  90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

  90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

  90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

  90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

  90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

  91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

  91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

  91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

  91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

  91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

  91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

  91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

  91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

  91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

  91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

  91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

  91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

  91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

  91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

  91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

  91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

  92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

  92:2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

  92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

  92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

  92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

  92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

  92:7 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:

  92:8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

  92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

  92:10 But
my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

  92:11 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.

  92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

  92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

  92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

  92:15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

  93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

  93:2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

  93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

  93:4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

  93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

  94:1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

  94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

  94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

  94:4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

  94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

  94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

  94:7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

  94:8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

  94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

  94:10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

  94:11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

  94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

  94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
