  105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

  105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

  105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

  105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

  105:27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

  105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

  105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

  105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

  105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

  105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

  105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

  105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

  105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

  105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

  105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

  105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

  105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

  105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

  105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

  105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

  105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

  105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

  105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

  106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

  106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

  106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

  106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

  106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

  106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

  106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

  106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

  106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

  106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

  106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

  106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

  106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

  106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

  106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

  106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

  106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.

  106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

  106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

  106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

  106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

  106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

  106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

  106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

  106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

  106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

  106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

  106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

  106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

  106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

  106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

  106:32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

  106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

  106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

  106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

  106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

  106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

  106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

  106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

  106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

  106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

  106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

  106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

  106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

  106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

  106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

  106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

  106:48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

  107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

  107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

  107:3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

  107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

  107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

  107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

  107:7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

  107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

  107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

  107:11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the couns
el of the most High:

  107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

  107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

  107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

  107:15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  107:16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

  107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

  107:18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

  107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

  107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

  107:21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

  107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

  107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

  107:25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

  107:26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

  107:27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.

  107:28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

  107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

  107:30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

  107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

  107:33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

  107:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

  107:35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

  107:36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

  107:37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

  107:38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

  107:39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

  107:40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

  107:41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

  107:42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

  107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

  108:1 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

  108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

  108:3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

  108:4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

  108:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

  108:6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

  108:7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

  108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

  108:9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

  108:10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

  108:11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

  108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

  108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

  109:1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

  109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

  109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

  109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

  109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

  109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

  109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

  109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

  109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

  109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

  109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

  109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

  109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

  109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

  109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

  109:16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

  109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

  109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

  109:19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

  109:20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

  109:21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

  109:22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

  109:23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

  109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

  109:25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

  109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

  109:27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

  109:28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

  109:29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

  109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

  109:31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

  110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

  110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

  110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: th
ou hast the dew of thy youth.

  110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

  110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

  110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

  110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

  111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

  111:2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

  111:3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

  111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

  111:5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

  111:6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

  111:7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.

  111:8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

  111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

  111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

  112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

  112:2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

  112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

  112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

  112:5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

  112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

  112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

  112:8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
