To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
80:1 Give
 ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that
 dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
 and save us.
80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
 saved.
80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of
 thy people?
80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
 drink in great measure.
80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:  and our enemies laugh
 among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we
 shall be saved.
80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:  thou hast cast out the heathen,
 and planted it.
80:9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
 and it filled the land.
80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
 were like the goodly cedars.
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.

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph.
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.

A Psalm of Asaph.
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.

A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
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.

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
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.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
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 Show 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.

A Prayer of David.
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,
 longsuffering, 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 Show 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.

87:3 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.

 all my springs are in thee.

A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon
 Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
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 show 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.

Psalms  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
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.

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
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.

Psalms  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
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 show him my salvation.

A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
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 show 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 show 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.

Psalms  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance
 belongeth, show 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.
94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his
 inheritance.
94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness:  and all the upright in
 heart shall follow it.
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?  or who will stand up
 for me against the workers of iniquity?
94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
 silence.
94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my
 soul.
94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth
 mischief by a law?
94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and
 condemn the innocent blood.
94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
94:23 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.

 temptation in the wilderness:
95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It
 is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his
 complaint before the LORD.
102:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline
 thine ear unto me:  in the day when I call answer me speedily.
102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an
 hearth.
102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat
 my bread.
102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness:  I am like an owl of the
 desert.
102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against
 me are sworn against me.
102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:  for thou hast lifted me
 up, and cast me down.
102:11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like
 grass.
102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all
 generations.
102:13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion:  for the time to favour
 her, yea, the set time, is come.
102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust
 thereof.
102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of
 the earth thy glory.
102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their
 prayer.
102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come:  and the people
 which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven
 did the LORD behold the earth;
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
 appointed to death;
102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the
 LORD.
102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:  thy
 years are throughout all generations.
102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:  and the heavens
 are the work of thy hands.
102:26 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:
102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be
 established before thee.

A Psalm of David.
103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul:  and all that is
 within me, bless his holy name.
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
 lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
 renewed like the eagle's.
103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
 oppressed.
103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
 Israel.
103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
 mercy.
103:9 He will not always chide:  neither will he keep his anger for ever.
103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according
 to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
 toward them that fear him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
 transgressions from us.
103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them
 that fear him.
103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are as grass:  as a flower of the field, so
 he flourisheth.
103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
 shall know it no more.
103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon
 them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
 commandments to do them.
103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom
 ruleth over all.
103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
 commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do
 his pleasure.
103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:  bless
 the LORD, O my soul.

Psalms  |  Top  | Up  |  Down
104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul.  O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou
 art clothed with honour and majesty.
104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:  who stretchest
 out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:  who maketh the
 clouds his chariot:  who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
 removed for ever.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:  the waters stood
 above the mountains.
104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the
 place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not
 again to cover the earth.
104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field:  the wild asses quench
 their thirst.
104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which
 sing among the branches.
104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers:  the earth is satisfied with
 the fruit of thy works.
104:14 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;
104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his
 face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
104:16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which
 he hath planted;
104:17 Where the birds make their nests:  as for the stork, the fir trees
 are her house.
104:18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for
 the conies.
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons:  the sun knoweth his going down.
104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night:  wherein all the beasts of the
 forest do creep forth.
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
104:22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down
 in their dens.
104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works!  in wisdom hast thou made them
 all:  the earth is full of thy riches.
104:25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping
 innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26 There go the ships:  there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made
 to play therein.
104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in
 due season.
104:28 That thou givest them they gather:  thou openest thine hand, they
 are filled with good.
104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:  thou takest away their
 breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:  and thou renewest
 the face of the earth.
104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever:  the LORD shall rejoice
 in his works.
104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:  he toucheth the hills,
 and they smoke.
104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live:  I will sing praise to
 my God while I have my being.
104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet:  I will be glad in the LORD.
104:35 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.
