1. Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4. The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

13. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
14. Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

4. [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5. They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7. Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].
8. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?
9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10. He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14. For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

18. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21. They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22. But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.
23. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.

20. To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21. To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22. When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23. He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24. I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
25. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27. But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28. The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Psalm 104

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2. Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4. Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5. [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever.
6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
11. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
13. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15. And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.
16. The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17. Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house.
18. The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.
19. He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
21. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25. [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26. There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou hast made to play therein.
27. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.
28. [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31. The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33. I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 105

1. O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6. O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7. He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.
8. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.
9. Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10. And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
11. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12. When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13. When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;
14. He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15. [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16. Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17. He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:
18. Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19. Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20. The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22. To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23. Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24. And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26. He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27. They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29. He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30. Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31. He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.
32. He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.
33. He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34. He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35. And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
38. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40. [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42. For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.
43. And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:
44. And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45. That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 106

1. Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
2. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
3. Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4. Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
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.
6. We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
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.
8. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9. He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12. Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14. But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16. They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD.
17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19. They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20. Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21. They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22. Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea.
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].
24. Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25. But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26. Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27. To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28. They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29. Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30. Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed.
31. And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32. They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33. Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35. But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
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.
39. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40. Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43. Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
45. And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46. He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
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.
48. Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

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

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

3. Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8. His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
9. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10. The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 113

1. Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

3. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.
4. The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.
5. Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6. Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
7. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8. That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.
9. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 114

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2. Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3. The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
5. What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
6. Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8. Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Psalm 115

1. Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
2. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
3. But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4. Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6. They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7. They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8. They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
9. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.
10. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield.

6. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.
9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

12. What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?
13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

5. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place.
6. The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7. The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
8. [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9. [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14. The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15. The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

20. This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22. The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
23. This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.
24. This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
