r me to the judgment that thou hast
commanded.
7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for
their sakes therefore return thou on high.
7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my
righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
7:10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every
day.
7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and
made it ready.
7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which
he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will
sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
8:1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy
and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour.
8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth
all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the
throne judging right.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne
for judgment.
9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings.
9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of
them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
9:14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter
of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net
which they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked
is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in
thy sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to
be but men. Selah.
10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?
10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the
covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of
his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.
10:8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret
places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against
the poor.
10:9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait
to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into
his net.
10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.
10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.
10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.
10:14 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.
10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his
wickedness till thou find none.
10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out
of his land.
10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.
11:1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird
to your mountain?
11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow
upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth
violence his soul hateth.
11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an
horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth
behold the upright.
12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from
among the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering
lips and with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that
speaketh proud things:
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our
own: who is lord over us?
12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now
will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that
puffeth at him.
12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
13:1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?
13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;
13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that
trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with
me.
14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth
good.
14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of
the righteous.
14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his
refuge.
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the
LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
holy hill?
15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.
15:3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them
that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth
not.
15:5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
16:2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;
16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in
whom is all my delight.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god:
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their
names into my lips.
16:5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot.
16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also
instruct me in the night seasons.
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also
shall rest in hope.
16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.
17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night;
thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my
mouth shall not transgress.
17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
me from the paths of the destroyer.
17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
17:7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up
against them.
17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy
wings,
