at judgeth in the earth.
59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that
rise up against me.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered
against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help
me, and behold.
59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to
visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their
lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the
heathen in derision.
59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my
defence.
59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies.
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power;
and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them
even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they
speak.
59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and
let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth.
Selah.
59:14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a
dog, and go round about the city.
59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not
satisfied.
59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the
day of my trouble.
59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence,
and the God of my mercy.
60:1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast
been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal
the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
60:3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to
drink the wine of astonishment.
60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and
hear me.
60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the
strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
60:8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
triumph thou because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom?
60:10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God,
which didst not go out with our armies?
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread
down our enemies.
61:1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is
overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the
enemy.
61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the
covert of thy wings. Selah.
61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the
heritage of those that fear thy name.
61:6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many
generations.
61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,
which may preserve him.
61:8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily
perform my vows.
62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall
not be greatly moved.
62:3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be
slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering
fence.
62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they
delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
Selah.
62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall
not be moved.
62:7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and
my refuge, is in God.
62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before
him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
62:9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a
lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than
vanity.
62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if
riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power
belongeth unto God.
62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to
every man according to his work.
63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth
for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where
no water is;
63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the
sanctuary.
63:3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall
praise thee.
63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in
thy name.
63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my
mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the
night watches.
63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy
wings will I rejoice.
63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the
lower parts of the earth.
63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by
him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be
stopped.
64:1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of
the enemy.
64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot
their arrows, even bitter words:
64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they
shoot at him, and fear not.
64:5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of
laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search:
both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
64:7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be
wounded.
64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all
that see them shall flee away.
64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for
they shall wisely consider of his doing.
64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him;
and all the upright in heart shall glory.
65:1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the
vow be performed.
65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou
shalt purge them away.
65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach
unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with
the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
65:5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of
our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded
with power:
65:7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves,
and the tumult of the people.
65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy
tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to
rejoice.
65:9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest
it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them
corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
65:10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the
furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the
springing thereof.
65:11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop
fatness.
65:12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little
hills rejoice on every side.
65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
66:3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto
thee.
66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they
shall sing to thy name. Selah.
66:5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward
the children of men.
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on
foot: there did we rejoice in him.
66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let
not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to
be heard:
66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be
moved.
66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver
is tried.
66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our
loins.
66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through
fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy
place.
66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee
my vows,
66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was
in trouble.
66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the
incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
66:16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he
hath done for my soul.
66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
tongue.
66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
66:19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of
my prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his
mercy from me.
67:1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to
shine upon us; Selah.
67:2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all
nations.
67:3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own
God, shall bless us.
67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that
hate him flee before him.
68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth
before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea,
let them exceedingly rejoice.
68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth
upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in
his holy habita
