101:4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

 

101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

 

101:8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of 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, shall 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.

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.

 

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.

 

105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

 

105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

 

105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

 

105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

 

105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

 

105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

 

105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

 

105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

 

105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

 

105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

 

105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

 

105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

 

105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

 

105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

 

105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

 

105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

 

105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

 

105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

 

105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

 

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 counsel 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 hungr
