\c 1  
\q1
\v 1 \sc Blessed\sc* \add is\add* the man  
\q1 That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,  
\q1 Nor standeth in the way of sinners,  
\q1 Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.   
\q1
\v 2 But his delight \add is\add* in the law of the \sc Lord\sc*;  
\q1 And in his law doth he meditate day and night.   
\q1
\v 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,  
\q1 That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;  
\q1 His leaf also shall not wither;  
\q1 And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   
\q1
\v 4 The ungodly \add are\add* not so:  
\q1 But \add are\add* like the chaff which the wind driveth away.   
\q1
\v 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,  
\q1 Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.   
\q1
\v 6 For the \sc Lord\sc* knoweth the way of the righteous:  
\q1 But the way of the ungodly shall perish.   
\c 2  
\q1
\v 1 Why do the heathen rage,  
\q1 And the people imagine a vain \add thing?\add*   
\q1
\v 2 The kings of the earth set themselves,  
\q1 And the rulers take counsel together,  
\q1 Against the \sc Lord\sc*, and against his anointed, \add saying\add*,   
\q1
\v 3 Let us break their bands asunder,  
\q1 And cast away their cords from us.   
\q1
\v 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:  
\q1 The Lord shall have them in derision.   
\q1
\v 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,  
\q1 And vex them in his sore displeasure.   
\q1
\v 6 Yet have I set my king  
\q1 Upon my holy hill of Zion.   
\q1
\v 7 I will declare the decree:  
\q1 The \sc Lord\sc* hath said unto me, Thou \add art\add* my Son;  
\q1 \add This\add* day have I begotten thee.   
\q1
\v 8 Ask of me,  
\q1 And I shall give \add thee\add* the heathen \add for\add* thine inheritance,  
\q1 And the uttermost parts of the earth \add for\add* thy possession.   
\q1
\v 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;  
\q1 Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.   
\q1
\v 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:  
\q1 Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.   
\q1
\v 11 Serve the \sc Lord\sc* with fear,  
\q1 And rejoice with trembling.   
\q1
\v 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,  
\q1 And ye perish \add from\add* the way,  
\q1 When his wrath is kindled but a little:  
\q1 Blessed \add are\add* all they that put their trust in him.   
\c 3  
\d A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.  
\q1
\v 1 \sc Lord\sc*, how are they increased that trouble me!  
\q1 Many \add are\add* they that rise up against me.   
\q1
\v 2 Many \add there be\add* which say of my soul,  
\q1 \add There is\add* no help for him in God. Selah.   
\q1
\v 3 But thou, O \sc Lord\sc*, \add art\add* a shield for me;  
\q1 My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.   
\q1
\v 4 I cried unto the \sc Lord\sc* \add with\add* my voice,  
\q1 And he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.   
\q1
\v 5 I laid me down and slept;  
\q1 I awaked; for the \sc Lord\sc* sustained me.   
\q1
\v 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,  
\q1 That have set \add themselves\add* against me round about.   
\q1
\v 7 Arise, O \sc Lord\sc*; save me, O my God:  
\q1 For thou hast smitten all mine enemies \add upon\add* the cheek bone;  
\q1 Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.   
\q1
\v 8 Salvation \add belongeth\add* unto the \sc Lord\sc*:  
\q1 Thy blessing \add is\add* upon thy people. Selah.   
\c 4  
\d To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:  
\q1 Thou hast enlarged me \add when I was\add* in distress;  
\q1 Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.   
\q1
\v 2 O ye sons of men, how long \add will ye turn\add* my glory into shame?  
\q1 \add How long\add* will ye love vanity, \add and\add* seek after leasing? Selah.   
\q1
\v 3 But know that the \sc Lord\sc* hath set apart \add him that is\add* godly for himself:  
\q1 The \sc Lord\sc* will hear when I call unto him.   
\q1
\v 4 Stand in awe, and sin not:  
\q1 Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.   
\q1
\v 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,  
\q1 And put your trust in the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 6 \add There be\add* many that say, Who will shew us \add any\add* good?  
\q1 \sc Lord\sc*, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.   
\q1
\v 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,  
\q1 More than \add in\add* the time \add that\add* their corn and their wine increased.   
\q1
\v 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:  
\q1 For thou, \sc Lord\sc*, only makest me dwell in safety.   
\c 5  
\d To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Give ear to my words, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 Consider my meditation.   
\q1
\v 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:  
\q1 For unto thee will I pray.   
\q1
\v 3 My voice shalt thou hear \add in\add* the morning, O \sc Lord\sc*;  
\q1 \add In\add* the morning will I direct \add my prayer\add* unto thee, and will look up.   
\q1
\v 4 For thou \add art\add* not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:  
\q1 Neither shall evil dwell \add with\add* thee.   
\q1
\v 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:  
\q1 Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.   
\q1
\v 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:  
\q1 The \sc Lord\sc* will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.   
\q1
\v 7 But \add as for\add* me, I will come \add into\add* thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:  
\q1 \add And\add* in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.   
\q1
\v 8 Lead me, O \sc Lord\sc*, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;  
\q1 Make thy way straight before my face.   
\q1
\v 9 For \add there is\add* no faithfulness in their mouth;  
\q1 Their inward \add part is\add* very wickedness;  
\q1 Their throat \add is\add* an open sepulchre;  
\q1 They flatter with their tongue.   
\q1
\v 10 Destroy thou them, O God;  
\q1 Let them fall by their own counsels;  
\q1 Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions;  
\q1 For they have rebelled against thee.   
\q1
\v 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:  
\q1 Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:  
\q1 Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.   
\q1
\v 12 For thou, \sc Lord\sc*, wilt bless the righteous;  
\q1 \add With\add* favour wilt thou compass him as \add with\add* a shield.   
\c 6  
\d To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 O \sc Lord\sc*, rebuke me not in thine anger,  
\q1 Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.   
\q1
\v 2 Have mercy upon me, O \sc Lord\sc*; for I \add am\add* weak:  
\q1 O \sc Lord\sc*, heal me; for my bones are vexed.   
\q1
\v 3 My soul is also sore vexed:  
\q1 But thou, O \sc Lord\sc*, how long?   
\q1
\v 4 Return, O \sc Lord\sc*, deliver my soul:  
\q1 O save me for thy mercy’s sake.   
\q1
\v 5 For in death \add there is\add* no remembrance of thee:  
\q1 In the grave who shall give thee thanks?   
\q1
\v 6 I am weary with my groaning;  
\q1 All the night make I my bed to swim;  
\q1 I water my couch with my tears.   
\q1
\v 7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief;  
\q1 It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.   
\q1
\v 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;  
\q1 For the \sc Lord\sc* hath heard the voice of my weeping.   
\q1
\v 9 The \sc Lord\sc* hath heard my supplication;  
\q1 The \sc Lord\sc* will receive my prayer.   
\q1
\v 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:  
\q1 Let them return \add and\add* be ashamed suddenly.   
\c 7  
\d Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the \sc Lord\sc*, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.  
\q1
\v 1 O \sc Lord\sc* my God, in thee do I put my trust:  
\q1 Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:   
\q1
\v 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion,  
\q1 Rending \add it\add* in pieces, while \add there is\add* none to deliver.   
\q1
\v 3 O \sc Lord\sc* my God, if I have done this;  
\q1 If there be iniquity in my hands;   
\q1
\v 4 If I have rewarded evil \add unto\add* him that was at peace with me;  
\q1 (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)   
\q1
\v 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take \add it\add*;  
\q1 Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,  
\q1 And lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.   
\q1
\v 6 Arise, O \sc Lord\sc*, in thine anger,  
\q1 Lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:  
\q1 And awake for me \add to\add* the judgment \add that\add* thou hast commanded.   
\q1
\v 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:  
\q1 For their sakes therefore return thou on high.   
\q1
\v 8 The \sc Lord\sc* shall judge the people:  
\q1 Judge me, O \sc Lord\sc*, according to my righteousness,  
\q1 And according to mine integrity \add that is\add* in me.   
\q1
\v 9 O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just:  
\q1 For the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.   
\q1
\v 10 My defence \add is\add* of God,  
\q1 Which saveth the upright in heart.   
\q1
\v 11 God judgeth the righteous,  
\q1 And God is angry \add with the wicked\add* every day.   
\q1
\v 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword;  
\q1 He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.   
\q1
\v 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;  
\q1 He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.   
\q1
\v 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,  
\q1 And hath conceived mischief,  
\q1 And brought forth falsehood.   
\q1
\v 15 He made a pit, and digged it,  
\q1 And is fallen into the ditch \add which\add* he made.   
\q1
\v 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head,  
\q1 And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.   
\q1
\v 17 I will praise the \sc Lord\sc* according to his righteousness:  
\q1 And will sing \add praise\add* to the name of the \sc Lord\sc* most High.   
\c 8  
\d To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 O \sc Lord\sc* our Lord,  
\q1 How excellent \add is\add* thy name in all the earth!  
\q1 Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.   
\q1
\v 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength  
\q1 Because of thine enemies,  
\q1 That \add thou\add* mightest still the enemy and the avenger.   
\q1
\v 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,  
\q1 The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;   
\q1
\v 4 What \add is\add* man, that thou art mindful of him?  
\q1 And the son of man, that thou visitest him?   
\q1
\v 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,  
\q1 And hast crowned him \add with\add* glory and honour.   
\q1
\v 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;  
\q1 Thou hast put all \add things\add* under his feet:   
\q1
\v 7 All sheep and oxen,  
\q1 Yea, and the beasts of the field;   
\q1
\v 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,  
\q1 \add And whatsoever\add* passeth \add through\add* the paths of the seas.   
\q1
\v 9 O \sc Lord\sc* our Lord,  
\q1 How excellent \add is\add* thy name in all the earth!   
\c 9  
\d To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 (א) I will praise \add thee\add*, O \sc Lord\sc*, with my whole heart;  
\q1 I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.   
\q1
\v 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:  
\q1 I will sing \add praise\add* to thy name, O thou most High.   
\q1
\v 3 (ב) When mine enemies are turned back,  
\q1 They shall fall and perish at thy presence.   
\q1
\v 4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;  
\q1 Thou satest in the throne judging right.   
\q1
\v 5 (ג) Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,  
\q1 Thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.   
\q1
\v 6 (ה) O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:  
\q1 And thou hast destroyed cities;  
\q1 Their memorial is perished \add with\add* them.   
\q1
\v 7 (ו) But the \sc Lord\sc* shall endure for ever:  
\q1 He hath prepared his throne for judgment.   
\q1
\v 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,  
\q1 He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.   
\q1
\v 9 The \sc Lord\sc* also will be a refuge for the oppressed,  
\q1 A refuge in times of trouble.   
\q1
\v 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:  
\q1 For thou, \sc Lord\sc*, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.   
\q1
\v 11 (ז) Sing \add praises\add* to the \sc Lord\sc*, which dwelleth in Zion:  
\q1 Declare among the people his doings.   
\q1
\v 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:  
\q1 He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.   
\q1
\v 13 (ח) Have mercy upon me, O \sc Lord\sc*;  
\q1 Consider my trouble \add which I suffer\add* of them that hate me,  
\q1 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:   
\q1
\v 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise  
\q1 In the gates of the daughter of Zion:  
\q1 I will rejoice in thy salvation.   
\q1
\v 15 (ט) The heathen are sunk down in the pit \add that\add* they made:  
\q1 In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.   
\q1
\v 16 The \sc Lord\sc* is known \add by\add* the judgment \add which\add* he executeth:  
\q1 The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.  
\q1 Higgaion. Selah.   
\q1
\v 17 (י) The wicked shall be turned into hell,  
\q1 \add And\add* all the nations that forget God.   
\q1
\v 18 (כ) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:  
\q1 The expectation of the poor shall \add not\add* perish for ever.   
\q1
\v 19 Arise, O \sc Lord\sc*; let not man prevail:  
\q1 Let the heathen be judged in thy sight.   
\q1
\v 20 Put them in fear, O \sc Lord\sc*:  
\q1 \add That\add* the nations may know themselves \add to be but\add* men. Selah.   
\c 10  
\q1
\v 1 (ל) Why standest thou afar off, O \sc Lord\sc*?  
\q1 \add Why\add* hidest thou \add thyself\add* in times of trouble?   
\q1
\v 2 The wicked in \add his\add* pride doth persecute the poor:  
\q1 Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.   
\q1
\v 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,  
\q1 And blesseth the covetous, \add whom\add* the \sc Lord\sc* abhorreth.   
\q1
\v 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek \add after God:\add*  
\q1 God \add is\add* not \add in\add* all his thoughts.   
\q1
\v 5 His ways are always grievous;  
\q1 Thy judgments \add are\add* far above out of his sight:  
\q1 \add As for\add* all his enemies, he puffeth at them.   
\q1
\v 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:  
\q1 For \add I shall\add* never \add be\add* in adversity.   
\q1
\v 7 His mouth is full \add of\add* cursing and deceit and fraud:  
\q1 Under his tongue \add is\add* mischief and vanity.   
\q1
\v 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages:  
\q1 In the secret places doth he murder the innocent:  
\q1 His eyes are privily set against the poor.   
\q1
\v 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den:  
\q1 He lieth in wait to catch the poor:  
\q1 He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.   
\q1
\v 10 He croucheth, \add and\add* humbleth himself,  
\q1 That the poor may fall by his strong \add ones\add*.   
\q1
\v 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:  
\q1 He hideth his face; he will never see \add it\add*.   
\q1
\v 12 (ק) Arise, O \sc Lord\sc*; O God, lift up thine hand:  
\q1 Forget not the humble.   
\q1
\v 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?  
\q1 He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require \add it\add*.   
\q1
\v 14 (ר) Thou hast seen \add it;\add* for thou beholdest mischief and spite,  
\q1 To requite \add it\add* with thy hand:  
\q1 The poor committeth \add himself\add* unto thee;  
\q1 Thou art the helper of the fatherless.   
\q1
\v 15 (ש) Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil \add man:\add*  
\q1 Seek out his wickedness \add till\add* thou find none.   
\q1
\v 16 The \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* King for ever and ever:  
\q1 The heathen are perished out of his land.   
\q1
\v 17 (ת) \sc Lord\sc*, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:  
\q1 Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:   
\q1
\v 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,  
\q1 That the man of the earth may no more oppress.   
\c 11  
\d To the chief Musician, \add A Psalm\add* of David.  
\q1
\v 1 In the \sc Lord\sc* put I my trust:  
\q1 How say ye to my soul,  
\q1 Flee \add as\add* a bird \add to\add* your mountain?   
\q1
\v 2 For lo, the wicked bend \add their\add* bow,  
\q1 They make ready their arrow upon the string,  
\q1 That \add they\add* may privily shoot at the upright in heart.   
\q1
\v 3 If the foundations be destroyed,  
\q1 What can the righteous do?   
\q1
\v 4 The \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* in his holy temple,  
\q1 The \sc Lord’s\sc* throne \add is\add* in heaven:  
\q1 His eyes behold,  
\q1 His eyelids try, the children of men.   
\q1
\v 5 The \sc Lord\sc* trieth the righteous:  
\q1 But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.   
\q1
\v 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,  
\q1 And a horrible tempest: \add this shall be\add* the portion of their cup.   
\q1
\v 7 For the righteous \sc Lord\sc* loveth righteousness;  
\q1 His countenance doth behold the upright.   
\c 12  
\d To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Help, \sc Lord\sc*; for the godly \add man\add* ceaseth;  
\q1 For the faithful fail from among the children of men.   
\q1
\v 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:  
\q1 \add With\add* flattering lips \add and\add* with a double heart do they speak.   
\q1
\v 3 The \sc Lord\sc* shall cut off all flattering lips,  
\q1 \add And\add* the tongue that speaketh proud \add things:\add*   
\q1
\v 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;  
\q1 Our lips \add are\add* our own: who \add is\add* lord over us?   
\q1
\v 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,  
\q1 Now will I arise, saith the \sc Lord\sc*;  
\q1 I will set \add him\add* in safety \add from him that\add* puffeth at him.   
\q1
\v 6 The words of the \sc Lord\sc* \add are\add* pure words:  
\q1 \add As\add* silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.   
\q1
\v 7 Thou shalt keep them, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.   
\q1
\v 8 The wicked walk on every side,  
\q1 When the vilest men are exalted.   
\c 13  
\d To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O \sc Lord\sc*? for ever?  
\q1 How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?   
\q1
\v 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,  
\q1 \add Having\add* sorrow in my heart daily?  
\q1 How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?   
\q1
\v 3 Consider \add and\add* hear me, O \sc Lord\sc* my God:  
\q1 Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the \add sleep of\add* death;   
\q1
\v 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;  
\q1 \add And\add* those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.   
\q1
\v 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;  
\q1 My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.   
\q1
\v 6 I will sing unto the \sc Lord\sc*, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.   
\c 14  
\d To the chief Musician, \add A Psalm\add* of David.  
\q1
\v 1 The fool hath said in his heart, \add There is\add* no God.  
\q1 They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,  
\q1 \add There is\add* none that doeth good.   
\q1
\v 2 The \sc Lord\sc* looked down from heaven upon the children of men,  
\q1 To see if there were \add any\add* that did understand, \add and\add* seek God.   
\q1
\v 3 They are all gone aside, they are \add all\add* together become filthy:  
\q1 \add There is\add* none that doeth good, no, not one.   
\q1
\v 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?  
\q1 Who eat up my people \add as\add* they eat bread,  
\q1 \add And\add* call not upon the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 5 There were they in great fear:  
\q1 For God \add is\add* in the generation of the righteous.   
\q1
\v 6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor,

\q1 When the \sc Lord\sc* bringeth back the captivity of his people,  
\q1 Jacob shall rejoice, \add and\add* Israel shall be glad.

\d A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 \sc Lord\sc*, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?  
\q1 Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?   
\q1
\v 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,  
\q1 And speaketh the truth in his heart.   
\q1
\v 3 \add He that\add* backbiteth not with his tongue,  
\q1 Nor doeth evil to his neighbour,  
\q1 Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.   
\q1
\v 4 In whose eyes a vile \add person\add* is contemned;  
\q1 But he honoureth them that fear the \sc Lord\sc*.  
\q1 \add He that\add* sweareth to \add his own\add* hurt, and changeth not.   
\q1
\v 5 \add He that\add* putteth not out his money to usury,  
\q1 Nor taketh reward against the innocent.  
\q1 He that doeth these \add things\add* shall never be moved.

\d Michtam of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.   
\q1
\v 2 \add O my soul\add*, thou hast said unto the \sc Lord\sc*, Thou \add art\add* my Lord:  
\q1 My goodness \add extendeth\add* not to thee;   
\q1
\v 3 \add But\add* to the saints that \add are\add* in the earth,  
\q1 And \add to\add* the excellent, in whom \add is\add* all my delight.   
\q1
\v 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied \add that\add* hasten \add after\add* another \add god:\add*  
\q1 Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,  
\q1 Nor take up their names into my lips.   
\q1
\v 5 The \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:  
\q1 Thou maintainest my lot.   
\q1
\v 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant \add places;\add*  
\q1 Yea, I have a goodly heritage.   
\q1
\v 7 I will bless the \sc Lord\sc*, who hath given me counsel:  
\q1 My reins also instruct me \add in\add* the night seasons.   
\q1
\v 8 I have set the \sc Lord\sc* always before me:  
\q1 Because \add he is\add* at my right hand, I shall not be moved.   
\q1
\v 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:  
\q1 My flesh also shall rest in hope.   
\q1
\v 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;  
\q1 Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.   
\q1
\v 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life:  
\q1 In thy presence \add is\add* fulness of joy;  
\q1 At thy right hand \add there are\add* pleasures for evermore.

\d A Prayer of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Hear the right, O \sc Lord\sc*, attend unto my cry,  
\q1 Give ear unto my prayer, \add that goeth\add* not out of feigned lips.   
\q1
\v 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence;  
\q1 Let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.   
\q1
\v 3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited \add me\add* in the night;  
\q1 Thou hast tried me, \add and\add* shalt find nothing;  
\q1 I am purposed \add that\add* my mouth shall not transgress.   
\q1
\v 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips  
\q1 I have kept \add me from\add* the paths of the destroyer.   
\q1
\v 5 Hold up my goings in thy paths,  
\q1 \add That\add* my footsteps slip not.   
\q1
\v 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:  
\q1 Incline thine ear unto me, \add and\add* hear my speech.   
\q1
\v 7 Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust \add in thee\add*  
\q1 From those that rise up \add against them\add*.   
\q1
\v 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye,  
\q1 Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,   
\q1
\v 9 From the wicked that oppress me,  
\q1 \add From\add* my deadly enemies, \add who\add* compass me about.   
\q1
\v 10 They are inclosed \add in\add* their own fat:  
\q1 \add With\add* their mouth they speak proudly.   
\q1
\v 11 They have now compassed us \add in\add* our steps:  
\q1 They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;   
\q1
\v 12 Like as a lion \add that\add* is greedy of his prey,  
\q1 And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.   
\q1
\v 13 Arise, O \sc Lord\sc*, disappoint him, cast him down:  
\q1 Deliver my soul from the wicked, \add which is\add* thy sword:   
\q1
\v 14 From men \add which are\add* thy hand, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 From men of the world, \add which have\add* their portion in \add this\add* life,  
\q1 And whose belly thou fillest \add with\add* thy hid \add treasure:\add*  
\q1 They are full \add of\add* children,  
\q1 And leave the rest of their \add substance\add* to their babes.   
\q1
\v 15 \add As for\add* me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:  
\q1 I shall be satisfied, when \add I\add* awake, \add with\add* thy likeness.   
\c 18  
\d To the chief Musician, \add A Psalm\add* of David, the servant of the \sc Lord\sc*, who spake unto the \sc Lord\sc* the words of this song in the day \add that\add* the \sc Lord\sc* delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,  
\q1
\v 1 I will love thee, O \sc Lord\sc*, my strength.   
\q1
\v 2 The \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;  
\q1 My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;  
\q1 My buckler, and the horn of my salvation, \add and\add* my high tower.   
\q1
\v 3 I will call upon the \sc Lord\sc*, who is \add worthy\add* to be praised:  
\q1 So shall I be saved from mine enemies.   
\q1
\v 4 The sorrows of death compassed me,  
\q1 And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.   
\q1
\v 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:  
\q1 The snares of death prevented me.   
\q1
\v 6 In my distress I called upon the \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And cried unto my God:  
\q1 He heard my voice out of his temple,  
\q1 And my cry came before him, \add even\add* into his ears.   
\q1
\v 7 Then the earth shook and trembled;  
\q1 The foundations also of the hills moved  
\q1 And were shaken, because he was wroth.   
\q1
\v 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,  
\q1 And fire out of his mouth devoured:  
\q1 Coals were kindled by it.   
\q1
\v 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down:  
\q1 And darkness \add was\add* under his feet.   
\q1
\v 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:  
\q1 Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.   
\q1
\v 11 He made darkness his secret place;  
\q1 His pavilion round about him  
\q1 \add Were\add* dark waters \add and\add* thick clouds of the skies.   
\q1
\v 12 At the brightness \add that was\add* before him his thick clouds passed,  
\q1 Hail-\add stones\add* and coals of fire.   
\q1
\v 13 The \sc Lord\sc* also thundered in the heavens,  
\q1 And the Highest gave his voice;  
\q1 Hail-\add stones\add* and coals of fire.   
\q1
\v 14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;  
\q1 And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.   
\q1
\v 15 Then the channels of waters were seen,  
\q1 And the foundations of the world were discovered  
\q1 At thy rebuke, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.   
\q1
\v 16 He sent from above, he took me,  
\q1 He drew me out of many waters.   
\q1
\v 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,  
\q1 And from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.   
\q1
\v 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:  
\q1 But the \sc Lord\sc* was my stay.   
\q1
\v 19 He brought me forth also into a large place;  
\q1 He delivered me, because he delighted in me.   
\q1
\v 20 The \sc Lord\sc* rewarded me according to my righteousness;  
\q1 According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.   
\q1
\v 21 For I have kept the ways of the \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And have not wickedly departed from my God.   
\q1
\v 22 For all his judgments \add were\add* before me,  
\q1 And I did not put away his statutes from me.   
\q1
\v 23 I was also upright before him,  
\q1 And I kept myself from mine iniquity.   
\q1
\v 24 Therefore hath the \sc Lord\sc* recompensed me according to my righteousness,  
\q1 According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.   
\q1
\v 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful;  
\q1 With an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;   
\q1
\v 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;  
\q1 And with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.   
\q1
\v 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;  
\q1 But wilt bring down high looks.   
\q1
\v 28 For thou wilt light my candle:  
\q1 The \sc Lord\sc* my God will enlighten my darkness.   
\q1
\v 29 For by thee I have run \add through\add* a troop;  
\q1 And by my God have I leaped over a wall.   
\q1
\v 30 \add As for\add* God, his way \add is\add* perfect:  
\q1 The word of the \sc Lord\sc* is tried:  
\q1 He \add is\add* a buckler to all those that trust in him.   
\q1
\v 31 For who \add is\add* God save the \sc Lord\sc*?  
\q1 Or who \add is\add* a rock save our God?   
\q1
\v 32 \add It is\add* God that girdeth me \add with\add* strength,  
\q1 And maketh my way perfect.   
\q1
\v 33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ \add feet\add*,  
\q1 And setteth me upon my high places.   
\q1
\v 34 He teacheth my hands to war,  
\q1 So that a bow of steel is broken \add by\add* mine arms.   
\q1
\v 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:  
\q1 And thy right hand hath holden me up,  
\q1 And thy gentleness hath made me great.   
\q1
\v 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,  
\q1 That my feet did not slip.   
\q1
\v 37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:  
\q1 Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.   
\q1
\v 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:  
\q1 They are fallen under my feet.   
\q1
\v 39 For thou hast girded me \add with\add* strength unto the battle:  
\q1 Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.   
\q1
\v 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;  
\q1 That I might destroy them that hate me.   
\q1
\v 41 They cried, but \add there was\add* none to save \add them:\add*  
\q1 \add Even\add* unto the \sc Lord\sc*, but he answered them not.   
\q1
\v 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:  
\q1 I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.   
\q1
\v 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;  
\q1 \add And\add* thou hast made me the head of the heathen:  
\q1 A people \add whom\add* I have not known shall serve me.   
\q1
\v 44 As soon as they hear \add of me\add*, they shall obey me:  
\q1 The strangers shall submit themselves unto me.   
\q1
\v 45 The strangers shall fade away,  
\q1 And be afraid out of their close places.   
\q1
\v 46 The \sc Lord\sc* liveth; and blessed \add be\add* my rock;  
\q1 And let the God of my salvation be exalted.   
\q1
\v 47 \add It is\add* God that avengeth me,  
\q1 And subdueth the people under me.   
\q1
\v 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies:  
\q1 Yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me:  
\q1 Thou hast delivered me from the violent man.   
\q1
\v 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O \sc Lord\sc*, among the heathen,  
\q1 And sing \add praises\add* unto thy name.   
\q1

\v 17 I may tell all my bones:  
\q1 They look \add and\add* stare upon me.

\v 1 We have heard with our ears, O God,

\q1
\v 2 \add How\add* thou didst drive out the heathen \add with\add* thy hand, and plantedst them;  
\q1 \add How\add* thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.   
\q1
\v 3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,  
\q1 Neither did their own arm save them:

\q1
\v 10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy:  
\q1 And they which hate us spoil for themselves.   
\q1
\v 11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat;  
\q1 And hast scattered us among the heathen.   
\q1
\v 12 Thou sellest thy people for nought,  
\q1 And dost not increase \add thy wealth\add* by their price.   
\q1
\v 13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours,  
\q1 A scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.   
\q1
\v 14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen,  
\q1 A shaking of the head among the people.

\q1
\v 20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,  
\q1 Or stretched out our hands to a strange god;   
\q1
\v 21 Shall not God search this out?  
\q1 For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

\q1
\v 15 O Lord, open thou my lips;

\q1
\v 5 There were they in great fear, \add where\add* no fear was:

\v 2 Hear my prayer, O God;

\q1
\v 6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:

\v 2 Attend unto me, and hear me:  
\q1 I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

\v 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked:  
\q1 For they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.   
\q1
\v 4 My heart is sore pained within me:

\q1
\v 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me,

\q1
\v 21 \add The words of\add* his mouth were smoother than butter, but war \add was\add* in his heart:  
\q1 His words were softer than oil, yet \add were\add* they drawn swords.

\v 22 Cast thy burden upon the \sc Lord\sc*, and he shall sustain thee:  
\q1 He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

\v 4 Thus will I bless thee while I live:

\v 6 When I remember thee upon my bed,  
\q1 \add And\add* meditate on thee in the \add night\add* watches.   
\q1
\v 7 Because thou hast been my help,

\v 9 But those \add that\add* seek my soul, to destroy \add it\add*,

\v 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer:  
\q1 Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.   
\q1
\v 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked;

\v 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword,  
\q1 \add And\add* bend \add their bows to shoot\add* their arrows, \add even\add* bitter words:   
\q1
\v 4 That \add they\add* may shoot in secret at the perfect:

\v 5 They encourage themselves \add in\add* an evil matter:  
\q1 They commune of laying snares privily;  
\q1 They say, Who shall see them?   
\q1
\v 6 They search out iniquities;  
\q1 They accomplish a diligent search:  
\q1 Both the inward \add thought\add* of every one \add of them\add*, and the heart, \add is\add* deep.   
\q1
\v 7 But God shall shoot at them \add with\add* an arrow;

\q1
\v 8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:  
\q1 All that see them shall flee away.   
\q1
\v 9 And all men shall fear,  
\q1 And shall declare the work of God;  
\q1 For they shall wisely consider of his doing.

\v 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach;  
\q1 Shame hath covered my face.   
\q1
\v 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

\q1
\v 10 When I wept, \add and chastened\add* my soul with fasting,

\v 21 They gave me also gall for my meat;

\v 19 Thy righteousness also, O God, \add is\add* very high,

\v 20 \add Thou\add*, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles,

\v 21 Thou shalt increase my greatness,

\q1
\v 22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery,

\q1 With the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.   
\q1
\v 23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;  
\q1 And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

\d \add A Psalm\add* for Solomon.  
\q1
\v 1 Give the king thy judgments, O God,  
\q1 And thy righteousness unto the king’s son.   
\q1
\v 2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness,  
\q1 And thy poor with judgment.   
\q1
\v 3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people,  
\q1 And the little hills, by righteousness.   
\q1
\v 4 He shall judge the poor of the people,  
\q1 He shall save the children of the needy,  
\q1 And shall break in pieces the oppressor.   
\q1
\v 5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun  
\q1 And moon endure, throughout all generations.   
\q1
\v 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:  
\q1 As showers that water the earth.   
\q1
\v 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish;  
\q1 And abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.   
\q1
\v 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,  
\q1 And from the river unto the ends of the earth.   
\q1
\v 9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him;  
\q1 And his enemies shall lick the dust.   
\q1
\v 10 The kings of Tarshish and \add of\add* the isles shall bring presents:  
\q1 The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.   
\q1
\v 11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him:  
\q1 All nations shall serve him.   
\q1
\v 12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth;  
\q1 The poor also, and \add him\add* that hath no helper.   
\q1
\v 13 He shall spare the poor and needy,  
\q1 And shall save the souls of the needy.   
\q1
\v 14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:  
\q1 And precious shall their blood be in his sight.   
\q1
\v 15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:

\d A Psalm of Asaph.  
\q1
\v 1 Truly God \add is\add* good to Israel,  
\q1 \add Even\add* to such as are of a clean heart.   
\q1
\v 2 But \add as for\add* me, my feet were almost gone;  
\q1 My steps had well nigh slipt.   
\q1
\v 3 For I was envious at the foolish,  
\q1 \add When\add* I saw the prosperity of the wicked.   
\q1
\v 4 For \add there are\add* no bands in their death:  
\q1 But their strength \add is\add* firm.   
\q1
\v 5 They \add are\add* not in trouble \add as other\add* men;  
\q1 Neither are they plagued like \add other\add* men.   
\q1
\v 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;  
\q1 Violence covereth them \add as\add* a garment.   
\q1
\v 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:  
\q1 They have more than heart could wish.   
\q1
\v 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly \add concerning\add* oppression:  
\q1 They speak loftily.   
\q1
\v 9 They set their mouth against the heavens,  
\q1 And their tongue walketh through the earth.   
\q1
\v 10 Therefore his people return hither:  
\q1 And waters of a full \add cup\add* are wrung out to them.   
\q1
\v 11 And they say, How doth God know?  
\q1 And is there knowledge in the most High?   
\b  
\q1
\v 12 Behold, these \add are\add* the ungodly,  
\q1 Who prosper in the world; they increase \add in\add* riches.   
\q1
\v 13 Verily I have cleansed my heart \add in\add* vain,  
\q1 And washed my hands in innocency.   
\q1
\v 14 For all the day long have I been plagued,  
\q1 And chastened every morning.   
\q1
\v 15 If I say, I will speak thus;  
\q1 Behold, I should offend \add against\add* the generation of thy children.   
\q1
\v 16 When I thought to know this,  
\q1 It \add was\add* too painful for me;   
\q1
\v 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;  
\q1 \add Then\add* understood I their end.   
\q1
\v 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery \add places:\add*  
\q1 Thou castedst them down into destruction.   
\q1
\v 19 How are they \add brought\add* into desolation, as \add in\add* a moment!  
\q1 They are utterly consumed with terrors.   
\q1
\v 20 As a dream when \add one\add* awaketh;  
\q1 \add So\add*, O Lord, when \add thou\add* awakest, thou shalt despise their image.   
\b  
\q1
\v 21 Thus my heart was grieved,  
\q1 And I was pricked \add in\add* my reins.   
\q1
\v 22 So foolish \add was\add* I, and ignorant:  
\q1 I was \add as\add* a beast before thee.   
\q1
\v 23 Nevertheless I \add am\add* continually with thee:  
\q1 Thou hast holden \add me\add* by my right hand.   
\q1
\v 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,  
\q1 And afterward receive me \add to\add* glory.   
\q1
\v 25 Whom have I in heaven \add but thee?\add*  
\q1 And \add there is\add* none upon earth \add that\add* I desire besides thee.   
\q1
\v 26 My flesh and my heart faileth:  
\q1 \add But\add* God \add is\add* the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.   
\q1
\v 27 For lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:  
\q1 Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.   
\q1
\v 28 But \add it is\add* good for me to draw near to God:  
\q1 I have put my trust in the Lord \sc God\sc*,  
\q1 That \add I\add* may declare all thy works.

\v 1 O God, why hast thou cast \add us\add* off for ever?  
\q1 \add Why\add* doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?   
\q1
\v 2 Remember thy congregation, \add which\add* thou hast purchased of old;  
\q1 The rod of thine inheritance, \add which\add* thou hast redeemed;  
\q1 This mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.   
\q1
\v 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations;

\q1
\v 5 \add A man\add* was famous according as he had lifted up  
\q1 Axes upon the thick trees.   
\q1
\v 6 But now they break down the carved work thereof  
\q1 At once with axes and hammers.   
\q1
\v 7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,  
\q1 They have defiled \add by casting down\add* the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.   
\q1
\v 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:  
\q1 They have burnt up all the synagogues of God in the land.   
\q1
\v 9 We see not our signs:

\q1 Neither \add is there\add* among us any that knoweth how long.

\v 10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?  
\q1 Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?   
\q1
\v 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?  
\q1 Pluck \add it\add* out of thy bosom.   
\q1
\v 12 For God \add is\add* my King of old,  
\q1 Working salvation in the midst of the earth.   
\q1
\v 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:  
\q1 Thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.   
\q1
\v 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces,  
\q1 \add And\add* gavest him \add to be\add* meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.   
\q1
\v 15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood:  
\q1 Thou driedst up mighty rivers.   
\q1
\v 16 The day \add is\add* thine, the night also \add is\add* thine:  
\q1 Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.   
\q1
\v 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:  
\q1 Thou hast made summer and winter.   
\q1
\v 18 Remember this, \add that\add* the enemy hath reproached, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And \add that\add* the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.   
\q1
\v 19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude \add of the wicked:\add*  
\q1 Forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

\v 22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:

\v 2 I will open my mouth in a parable:  
\q1 I will utter dark sayings of old:   
\q1
\v 3 Which we have heard and known,  
\q1 And our fathers have told us.   
\q1
\v 4 We will not hide \add them\add* from their children,

\q1 The praises of the \sc Lord\sc*, and his strength,  
\q1 And his wonderful works that he hath done.   
\b  
\q1
\v 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob,  
\q1 And appointed a law in Israel,  
\q1 Which he commanded our fathers,  
\q1 That \add they\add* should make them known to their children:   
\q1
\v 6 That the generation to come might know \add them, even\add* the children \add which\add* should be born;  
\q1 \add Who\add* should arise and declare \add them\add* to their children:   
\q1
\v 7 That they might set their hope in God,  
\q1 And not forget the works of God,  
\q1 But keep his commandments:   
\q1
\v 8 And might not be as their fathers,  
\q1 A stubborn and rebellious generation;  
\q1 A generation \add that\add* set not their heart aright,  
\q1 And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.   
\q1
\v 9 The children of Ephraim, \add being\add* armed, \add and\add* carrying bows,  
\q1 Turned \add back\add* in the day of battle.   
\q1
\v 10 They kept not the covenant of God,  
\q1 And refused to walk in his law;   
\q1
\v 11 And forgat his works,  
\q1 And his wonders that he had shewed them.   
\q1
\v 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers,  
\q1 In the land of Egypt, \add in\add* the field of Zoan.   
\q1
\v 13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;  
\q1 And he made the waters to stand as a heap.   
\q1
\v 14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud,  
\q1 And all the night with a light of fire.   
\q1
\v 15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness,  
\q1 And gave \add them\add* drink as \add out of\add* the great depths.   
\q1
\v 16 He brought streams also out of the rock,  
\q1 And caused waters to run down like rivers.   
\q1
\v 17 And they sinned yet more against him  
\q1 By provoking the most High in the wilderness.   
\q1
\v 18 And they tempted God in their heart  
\q1 By asking meat for their lust.   
\q1
\v 19 Yea, they spake against God; they said,  
\q1 Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?   
\q1
\v 20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,  
\q1 And the streams overflowed;  
\q1 Can he give bread also?  
\q1 Can he provide flesh for his people?   
\b  
\q1
\v 21 Therefore the \sc Lord\sc* heard \add this\add*, and was wroth:  
\q1 So a fire was kindled against Jacob,  
\q1 And anger also came up against Israel;   
\q1
\v 22 Because they believed not in God,  
\q1 And trusted not in his salvation:   
\q1
\v 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above,  
\q1 And opened the doors of heaven,   
\q1
\v 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat,  
\q1 And had given them \add of\add* the corn of heaven.   
\q1
\v 25 Man did eat angels’ food:  
\q1 He sent them meat to the full.   
\q1
\v 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:  
\q1 And by his power he brought in the south wind.   
\q1
\v 27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust,  
\q1 And feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:   
\q1
\v 28 And he let \add it\add* fall in the midst of their camp,  
\q1 Round about their habitations.   
\q1
\v 29 So they did eat, and were well filled:  
\q1 For he gave them their own desire;   
\q1
\v 30 They were not estranged from their lust.  
\q1 But while their meat \add was\add* yet in their mouths,   
\q1
\v 31 The wrath of God came upon them,  
\q1 And slew the fattest of them,  
\q1 And smote down the chosen \add men\add* of Israel.   
\q1
\v 32 For all this they sinned still,  
\q1 And believed not for his wondrous works.   
\q1
\v 33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,  
\q1 And their years in trouble.   
\q1
\v 34 When he slew them, then they sought him:  
\q1 And they returned and inquired early after God.   
\q1
\v 35 And they remembered that God \add was\add* their rock,  
\q1 And the high God their redeemer.   
\q1
\v 36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,  
\q1 And they lied unto him with their tongues.   
\q1
\v 37 For their heart was not right with him,  
\q1 Neither were they stedfast in his covenant.   
\q1
\v 38 But he, \add being\add* full of compassion, forgave \add their\add* iniquity, and destroyed \add them\add* not:  
\q1 Yea, many a time turned he his anger away,  
\q1 And did not stir up all his wrath.   
\q1
\v 39 For he remembered that they \add were but\add* flesh;  
\q1 A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.   
\b  
\q1
\v 40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,  
\q1 \add And\add* grieve him in the desert!   
\q1
\v 41 Yea, they turned \add back\add* and tempted God,  
\q1 And limited the Holy One of Israel.   
\q1
\v 42 They remembered not his hand:  
\q1 \add Nor\add* the day when he delivered them from the enemy.   
\q1
\v 43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt,  
\q1 And his wonders in the field of Zoan:   
\q1
\v 44 And had turned their rivers into blood;  
\q1 And their floods, \add that\add* they could not drink.   
\q1
\v 45 He sent divers sorts \add of flies\add* among them, which devoured them;  
\q1 And frogs, which destroyed them.   
\q1
\v 46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar,  
\q1 And their labour unto the locust.   
\q1
\v 47 He destroyed their vines with hail,  
\q1 And their sycomore trees with frost.   
\q1
\v 48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail,  
\q1 And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.   
\q1
\v 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,  
\q1 Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,  
\q1 \add By\add* sending evil angels \add among them\add*.   
\q1
\v 50 He made a way to his anger;  
\q1 He spared not their soul from death,  
\q1 But gave their life over to the pestilence;   
\q1
\v 51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;  
\q1 The chief of \add their\add* strength in the tabernacles of Ham:   
\q1
\v 52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep,  
\q1 And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.   
\q1
\v 53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not:  
\q1 But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.   
\q1
\v 54 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,  
\q1 \add Even to\add* this mountain, \add which\add* his right hand had purchased.   
\q1
\v 55 He cast out the heathen also before them,  
\q1 And divided them an inheritance by line,  
\q1 And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.   
\q1
\v 56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God,  
\q1 And kept not his testimonies:   
\q1
\v 57 But turned \add back\add*, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:  
\q1 They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.   
\q1
\v 58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places,  
\q1 And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.   
\q1
\v 59 When God heard \add this\add*, he was wroth,  
\q1 And greatly abhorred Israel:   
\q1
\v 60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,  
\q1 The tent \add which\add* he placed among men;   
\q1
\v 61 And delivered his strength into captivity,  
\q1 And his glory into the enemy’s hand.   
\q1
\v 62 He gave his people over also unto the sword;  
\q1 And was wroth with his inheritance.   
\q1
\v 63 The fire consumed their young men;  
\q1 And their maidens were not given to marriage.   
\q1
\v 64 Their priests fell by the sword;  
\q1 And their widows made no lamentation.   
\q1
\v 65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,  
\q1 \add And\add* like a mighty \add man\add* that shouteth by reason of wine.   
\q1
\v 66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts:  
\q1 He put them to a perpetual reproach.   
\q1
\v 67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph,  
\q1 And chose not the tribe of Ephraim:   
\q1
\v 68 But chose the tribe of Judah,  
\q1 The mount Zion which he loved.   
\q1
\v 69 And he built his sanctuary like high \add palaces\add*,  
\q1 Like the earth which he hath established for ever.   
\q1
\v 70 He chose David also his servant,  
\q1 And took him from the sheepfolds:   
\q1
\v 71 From following the \add ewes\add* great with young he brought him  
\q1 To feed Jacob his people,  
\q1 And Israel his inheritance.   
\q1
\v 72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart;  
\q1 And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

\q1
\v 1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance;  
\q1 Thy holy temple have they defiled;  
\q1 They have laid Jerusalem on heaps.   
\q1
\v 2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given  
\q1 \add To be\add* meat unto the fowls of the heaven,  
\q1 The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.   
\q1
\v 3 Their blood have they shed like water  
\q1 Round about Jerusalem; and \add there was\add* none to bury \add them\add*.   
\q1
\v 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours,  
\q1 A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.   
\q1
\v 5 How long, \sc Lord\sc*? wilt thou be angry for ever?  
\q1 Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?   
\q1
\v 6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,  
\q1 And upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.   
\q1
\v 7 For they have devoured Jacob,  
\q1 And laid waste his dwelling place.   
\q1
\v 8 O remember not against us former iniquities:  
\q1 Let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us:  
\q1 For we are brought very low.   
\q1
\v 9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:  
\q1 And deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.   
\q1
\v 10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where \add is\add* their God?  
\q1 Let him be known among the heathen in our sight  
\q1 \add By\add* the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.   
\q1
\v 11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee,  
\q1 According to the greatness of thy power:  
\q1 Preserve thou those that are appointed to die;   
\q1
\v 12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom  
\q1 Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.   
\q1
\v 13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture  
\q1 Will give thee thanks for ever:

\q1
\v 1 I will sing of the mercies of the \sc Lord\sc* for ever:  
\q1 With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.   
\q1
\v 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:  
\q1 Thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.   
\q1
\v 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen,  
\q1 I have sworn unto David my servant,   
\q1
\v 4 Thy seed will I stablish for ever,  
\q1 And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

\q1
\v 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O \sc Lord\sc*:

\q1
\v 6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the \sc Lord\sc*?  
\q1 \add Who\add* among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the \sc Lord\sc*?   
\q1
\v 7 God \add is\add* greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,

\v 8 O \sc Lord\sc* God of hosts,  
\q1 Who \add is\add* a strong \sc Lord\sc* like unto thee?  
\q1 Or \add to\add* thy faithfulness round about thee?   
\q1
\v 9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea:  
\q1 When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.   
\q1
\v 10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;  
\q1 Thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.   
\q1
\v 11 The heavens \add are\add* thine, the earth also \add is\add* thine:  
\q1 \add As for\add* the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.   
\q1
\v 12 The north and the south thou hast created them:  
\q1 Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.   
\q1
\v 13 Thou hast a mighty arm:  
\q1 Strong is thy hand, \add and\add* high is thy right hand.   
\q1
\v 14 Justice and judgment \add are\add* the habitation of thy throne:  
\q1 Mercy and truth shall go before thy face.   
\q1
\v 15 Blessed \add is\add* the people that know the joyful sound:  
\q1 They shall walk, O \sc Lord\sc*, in the light of thy countenance.   
\q1
\v 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day:  
\q1 And in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.   
\q1
\v 17 For thou \add art\add* the glory of their strength:  
\q1 And in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.   
\q1
\v 18 For the \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* our defence;  
\q1 And the Holy One of Israel \add is\add* our king.   
\q1
\v 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one,  
\q1 And saidst, I have laid help upon \add one that is\add* mighty;  
\q1 I have exalted \add one\add* chosen out of the people.   
\q1
\v 20 I have found David my servant;  
\q1 With my holy oil have I anointed him:   
\q1
\v 21 With whom my hand shall be established:  
\q1 Mine arm also shall strengthen him.   
\q1
\v 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him;  
\q1 Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.   
\q1
\v 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face,  
\q1 And plague them that hate him.   
\q1
\v 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy \add shall be\add* with him:  
\q1 And in my name shall his horn be exalted.   
\q1
\v 25 I will set his hand also in the sea,  
\q1 And his right hand in the rivers.   
\q1
\v 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou \add art\add* my Father,  
\q1 My God, and the rock of my salvation.   
\q1
\v 27 Also I will make him \add my\add* firstborn,  
\q1 Higher than the kings of the earth.   
\q1
\v 28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore,  
\q1 And my covenant \add shall\add* stand fast with him.   
\q1
\v 29 His seed also will I make \add to endure\add* for ever,  
\q1 And his throne as the days of heaven.   
\q1
\v 30 If his children forsake my law,  
\q1 And walk not in my judgments;   
\q1
\v 31 If they break my statutes,  
\q1 And keep not my commandments;   
\q1
\v 32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,  
\q1 And their iniquity with stripes.   
\q1
\v 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,  
\q1 Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.   
\q1
\v 34 My covenant will I not break,  
\q1 Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.   
\q1
\v 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness  
\q1 That I will not lie unto David.   
\q1
\v 36 His seed shall endure for ever,  
\q1 And his throne as the sun before me.   
\q1
\v 37 It shall be established for ever as the moon,  
\q1 And \add as\add* a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.   
\b  
\q1
\v 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred,  
\q1 Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.   
\q1
\v 39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant:  
\q1 Thou hast profaned his crown \add by casting it\add* to the ground.   
\q1
\v 40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges;  
\q1 Thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.   
\q1
\v 41 All that pass by the way spoil him:  
\q1 He is a reproach to his neighbours.   
\q1
\v 42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;  
\q1 Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.   
\q1
\v 43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword,  
\q1 And hast not made him to stand in the battle.   
\q1
\v 44 Thou hast made his glory to cease,  
\q1 And cast his throne down to the ground.   
\q1
\v 45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened:  
\q1 Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.   
\b  
\q1
\v 46 How long, \sc Lord\sc*? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?  
\q1 Shall thy wrath burn like fire?   
\q1
\v 47 Remember how short my time is:  
\q1 Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?   
\q1
\v 48 What man \add is he that\add* liveth, and shall not see death?  
\q1 Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

\v 49 Lord, where \add are\add* thy former lovingkindnesses,  
\q1 \add Which\add* thou swarest unto David in thy truth?   
\q1
\v 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;  
\q1 \add How\add* I do bear in my bosom \add the reproach of\add* all the mighty people;   
\q1
\v 51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O \sc Lord\sc*;

\d A Prayer of Moses the man of God.  
\q1
\v 1 \sc Lord\sc*, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.   
\q1
\v 2 Before the mountains were brought forth,  
\q1 Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,  
\q1 Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou \add art\add* God.   
\q1
\v 3 Thou turnest man to destruction;  
\q1 And sayest, Return, ye children of men.   
\q1
\v 4 For a thousand years in thy sight  
\q1 \add Are but\add* as yesterday when it is past,  
\q1 And \add as\add* a watch in the night.   
\q1
\v 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are \add as\add* a sleep:  
\q1 In the morning \add they are\add* like grass \add which\add* groweth up.   
\q1
\v 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;  
\q1 In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.   
\q1
\v 7 For we are consumed by thine anger,  
\q1 And by thy wrath are we troubled.   
\q1
\v 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,  
\q1 Our secret \add sins\add* in the light of thy countenance.   
\q1
\v 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:  
\q1 We spend our years as a tale \add that is told\add*.   
\q1
\v 10 The days of our years \add are\add* threescore years and ten;  
\q1 And if by reason of strength \add they be\add* fourscore years,  
\q1 Yet \add is\add* their strength labour and sorrow;  
\q1 For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.   
\q1
\v 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger?  
\q1 Even according to thy fear, \add so is\add* thy wrath.   
\q1
\v 12 So teach \add us\add* to number our days,  
\q1 That we may apply \add our\add* hearts \add unto\add* wisdom.   
\q1
\v 13 Return, O \sc Lord\sc*, how long?  
\q1 And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.   
\q1
\v 14 O satisfy us early \add with\add* thy mercy;  
\q1 That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.   
\q1
\v 15 Make us glad according to the days \add wherein\add* thou hast afflicted us,  
\q1 \add And\add* the years \add wherein\add* we have seen evil.   
\q1
\v 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants,  
\q1 And thy glory unto their children.   
\q1
\v 17 And let the beauty of the \sc Lord\sc* our God be upon us:  
\q1 And establish thou the work of our hands upon us;  
\q1 Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.   
\c 91

\q1
\v 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,  
\q1 \add And\add* from the noisome pestilence.   
\q1
\v 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,  
\q1 And under his wings shalt thou trust:  
\q1 His truth \add shall be thy\add* shield and buckler.   
\q1
\v 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;  
\q1 \add Nor\add* for the arrow \add that\add* flieth by day;   
\q1
\v 6 \add Nor\add* for the pestilence \add that\add* walketh in darkness;  
\q1 \add Nor\add* for the destruction \add that\add* wasteth at noonday.   
\q1
\v 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,  
\q1 And ten thousand at thy right hand;  
\q1 \add But\add* it shall not come nigh thee.   
\q1
\v 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold  
\q1 And see the reward of the wicked.   
\q1
\v 9 Because thou hast made the \sc Lord\sc*, \add which is\add* my refuge,  
\q1 \add Even\add* the most High, thy habitation;   
\q1
\v 10 There shall no evil befall thee,  
\q1 Neither shall \add any\add* plague come nigh thy dwelling.   
\q1
\v 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,  
\q1 To keep thee in all thy ways.   
\q1
\v 12 They shall bear thee up in \add their\add* hands,  
\q1 Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.   
\q1
\v 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:  
\q1 The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.   
\q1
\v 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:  
\q1 I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.   
\q1
\v 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:  
\q1 I \add will be\add* with him in trouble;  
\q1 I will deliver him, and honour him.

\v 1 O sing unto the \sc Lord\sc* a new song;  
\q1 For he hath done marvellous \add things:\add*  
\q1 His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.   
\q1
\v 2 The \sc Lord\sc* hath made known his salvation:  
\q1 His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.   
\q1
\v 3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel:  
\q1 All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.   
\q1
\v 4 Make a joyful noise unto the \sc Lord\sc*, all the earth:  
\q1 Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing \add praise\add*.   
\q1
\v 5 Sing unto the \sc Lord\sc* with the harp;  
\q1 With the harp, and the voice of a psalm.   
\q1
\v 6 With trumpets and sound of cornet  
\q1 Make a joyful noise before the \sc Lord\sc*, the King.   
\q1
\v 7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

\q1
\v 8 Let the floods clap \add their\add* hands:

\q1
\v 9 Before the \sc Lord\sc*; for he cometh to judge the earth:  
\q1 With righteousness shall he judge the world,  
\q1 And the people with equity.   
\c 99  
\q1
\v 1 The \sc Lord\sc* reigneth; let the people tremble:

\q1
\v 5 Exalt ye the \sc Lord\sc* our God,

\q1
\v 7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar:  
\q1 They kept his testimonies, and the ordinance \add that\add* he gave them.   
\q1
\v 8 Thou answeredst them, O \sc Lord\sc* our God:  
\q1 Thou wast a God that forgavest them,

\q1
\v 9 Exalt the \sc Lord\sc* our God,  
\q1 And worship at his holy hill;

\c 101  
\d A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O \sc Lord\sc*, will I sing.   
\q1
\v 2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me?  
\q1 I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.   
\q1
\v 3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:  
\q1 I hate the work of them that turn aside; \add it\add* shall not cleave to me.   
\q1
\v 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked \add person\add*.   
\q1
\v 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:  
\q1 Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.   
\q1
\v 6 Mine eyes \add shall be\add* upon the faithful of the land, that \add they\add* may dwell with me:  
\q1 He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.   
\q1
\v 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:  
\q1 He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.   
\q1
\v 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;  
\q1 That \add I\add* may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\c 102  
\d A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the \sc Lord\sc*.  
\q1
\v 1 Hear my prayer, O \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And let my cry come unto thee.   
\q1
\v 2 Hide not thy face from me  
\q1 In the day \add when\add* I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me:  
\q1 In the day \add when\add* I call answer me speedily.   
\q1
\v 3 For my days are consumed like smoke,  
\q1 And my bones are burnt as a hearth.   
\q1
\v 4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass;  
\q1 So that I forget to eat my bread.   
\q1
\v 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.   
\q1
\v 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness:  
\q1 I am like an owl of the desert.   
\q1
\v 7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.   
\q1
\v 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day;  
\q1 \add And\add* they that are mad against me are sworn against me.   
\q1
\v 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,  
\q1 And mingled my drink with weeping,   
\q1
\v 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:  
\q1 For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.   
\q1
\v 11 My days \add are\add* like a shadow that declineth;  
\q1 And I am withered like grass.   
\b  
\q1
\v 12 But thou, O \sc Lord\sc*, shalt endure for ever;  
\q1 And thy remembrance unto all generations.   
\q1
\v 13 Thou shalt arise, \add and\add* have mercy upon Zion:  
\q1 For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.   
\q1
\v 14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,  
\q1 And favour the dust thereof.   
\q1
\v 15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And all the kings of the earth thy glory.   
\q1
\v 16 When the \sc Lord\sc* shall build up Zion,  
\q1 He shall appear in his glory.   
\q1
\v 17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute,  
\q1 And not despise their prayer.   
\q1
\v 18 This shall be written for the generation to come:  
\q1 And the people which \add shall be\add* created shall praise the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;  
\q1 From heaven did the \sc Lord\sc* behold the earth;   
\q1
\v 20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner;  
\q1 To loose those that are appointed to death;   
\q1
\v 21 To declare the name of the \sc Lord\sc* in Zion,  
\q1 And his praise in Jerusalem;   
\q1
\v 22 When the people are gathered together,  
\q1 And the kingdoms, to serve the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 23 He weakened my strength in the way;  
\q1 He shortened my days.   
\q1
\v 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:  
\q1 Thy years \add are\add* throughout all generations.   
\q1
\v 25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:  
\q1 And the heavens \add are\add* the work of thy hands.   
\q1
\v 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure:  
\q1 Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment;  
\q1 As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:   
\q1
\v 27 But thou \add art\add* the same,  
\q1 And thy years shall have no end.   
\q1
\v 28 The children of thy servants shall continue,  
\q1 And their seed shall be established before thee.

\q1
\v 2 Bless the \sc Lord\sc*, O my soul,

\q1
\v 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

\q1
\v 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;  
\q1 Who crowneth thee \add with\add* lovingkindness and tender mercies;

\v 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good \add things;\add*  
\q1 \add So that\add* thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.   
\b  
\q1
\v 6 The \sc Lord\sc* executeth righteousness  
\q1 And judgment for all that are oppressed.   
\q1
\v 7 He made known his ways unto Moses,  
\q1 His acts unto the children of Israel.   
\q1
\v 8 The \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* merciful and gracious,  
\q1 Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.   
\q1
\v 9 He will not always chide:  
\q1 Neither will he keep \add his anger\add* for ever.   
\q1
\v 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins;  
\q1 Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.   
\q1
\v 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,  
\q1 \add So\add* great is his mercy toward them that fear him.   
\q1
\v 12 As far as the east is from the west,  
\q1 \add So\add* far hath he removed our transgressions from us.   
\q1
\v 13 Like as a father pitieth \add his\add* children,  
\q1 \add So\add* the \sc Lord\sc* pitieth them that fear him.   
\q1
\v 14 For he knoweth our frame;  
\q1 He remembereth that we \add are\add* dust.   
\q1
\v 15 \add As for\add* man, his days \add are\add* as grass:  
\q1 As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.   
\q1
\v 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;  
\q1 And the place thereof shall know it no more.   
\q1
\v 17 But the mercy of the \sc Lord\sc* \add is\add* from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,  
\q1 And his righteousness unto children’s children;   
\q1
\v 18 To such as keep his covenant,

\q1
\v 2 Who coverest \add thyself with\add* light as \add with\add* a garment:

\q1 Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:   
\q1
\v 4 Who maketh his angels spirits;  
\q1 His ministers a flaming fire:   
\q1
\v 5 \add Who\add* laid the foundations of the earth,  
\q1 \add That\add* it should not be removed for ever.   
\q1
\v 6 Thou coveredst it \add with\add* the deep as \add with\add* a garment:  
\q1 The waters stood above the mountains.   
\q1
\v 7 At thy rebuke they fled;  
\q1 At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.   
\q1
\v 8 They go up \add by\add* the mountains; they go down \add by\add* the valleys  
\q1 Unto the place which thou hast founded for them.   
\q1
\v 9 Thou hast set a bound \add that\add* they may not pass over;  
\q1 \add That\add* they turn not again to cover the earth.   
\q1
\v 10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys,  
\q1 \add Which\add* run among the hills.   
\q1
\v 11 They give drink to every beast of the field:  
\q1 The wild asses quench their thirst.   
\q1
\v 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,  
\q1 \add Which\add* sing among the branches.   
\q1
\v 13 He watereth the hills from his chambers:  
\q1 The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.   
\q1
\v 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,  
\q1 And herb for the service of man:  
\q1 That \add he\add* may bring forth food out of the earth;   
\q1
\v 15 And wine \add that\add* maketh glad the heart of man,  
\q1 \add And\add* oil to make \add his\add* face to shine,

\v 16 The trees of the \sc Lord\sc* are full \add of sap;\add*

\q1
\v 18 The high hills \add are\add* a refuge for the wild goats;  
\q1 \add And\add* the rocks for the conies.   
\q1
\v 19 He appointed the moon for seasons:

\q1
\v 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night:  
\q1 Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep \add forth\add*.

\v 21 The young lions roar after \add their\add* prey,

\q1
\v 25 \add So is\add* this great and wide sea,

\q1 Ye children of Jacob, his chosen.   
\q1
\v 7 He \add is\add* the \sc Lord\sc* our God:

\q1
\v 8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever,  
\q1 The word \add which\add* he commanded to a thousand generations.   
\q1
\v 9 Which \add covenant\add* he made with Abraham,  
\q1 And his oath unto Isaac;   
\q1
\v 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,  
\q1 \add And\add* to Israel \add for\add* an everlasting covenant:   
\q1
\v 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,  
\q1 The lot of your inheritance:   
\q1
\v 12 When they were \add but a few\add* men in number;  
\q1 Yea, \add very\add* few, and strangers in it.   
\q1
\v 13 When they went from one nation to another,  
\q1 From \add one\add* kingdom to another people;   
\q1
\v 14 He suffered no man to do them wrong:  
\q1 Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;   
\q1
\v 15 \add Saying\add*, Touch not mine anointed,  
\q1 And do my prophets no harm.   
\q1
\v 16 Moreover, he called \add for\add* a famine upon the land:  
\q1 He brake the whole staff of bread.   
\q1
\v 17 He sent a man before them,  
\q1 \add Even\add* Joseph, \add who\add* was sold for a servant:   
\q1
\v 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters:  
\q1 He was laid \add in\add* iron:

\q1
\v 20 The king sent and loosed him;  
\q1 \add Even\add* the ruler of the people, and let him go free.   
\q1
\v 21 He made him lord of his house,  
\q1 And ruler of all his substance:   
\q1
\v 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure;  
\q1 And teach his senators wisdom.   
\q1
\v 23 Israel also came \add into\add* Egypt;  
\q1 And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.   
\q1
\v 24 And he increased his people greatly;  
\q1 And made them stronger than their enemies.   
\q1
\v 25 He turned their heart to hate his people,  
\q1 To deal subtilly with his servants.   
\q1
\v 26 He sent Moses his servant;  
\q1 \add And\add* Aaron whom he had chosen.   
\q1
\v 27 They shewed his signs among them,  
\q1 And wonders in the land of Ham.   
\q1
\v 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;  
\q1 And they rebelled not against his word.   
\q1
\v 29 He turned their waters into blood,  
\q1 And slew their fish.   
\q1
\v 30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,  
\q1 In the chambers of their kings.   
\q1
\v 31 He spake, and there came divers sorts \add of flies\add*,  
\q1 \add And\add* lice in all their coasts.   
\q1
\v 32 He gave them hail \add for\add* rain,  
\q1 \add And\add* flaming fire in their land.   
\q1
\v 33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees;  
\q1 And brake the trees of their coasts.   
\q1
\v 34 He spake, and the locusts came,  
\q1 And caterpillars, and that without number,   
\q1
\v 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land,  
\q1 And devoured the fruit of their ground.   
\q1
\v 36 He smote also all the first-born in their land,  
\q1 The chief of all their strength.   
\q1
\v 37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold:  
\q1 And \add there was\add* not \add one\add* feeble \add person\add* among their tribes.   
\q1
\v 38 Egypt was glad when they departed:  
\q1 For the fear of them that fell upon them.   
\q1
\v 39 He spread a cloud for a covering;  
\q1 And fire to give light in the night.   
\q1
\v 40 \add The people\add* asked, and he brought quails,  
\q1 And satisfied them \add with\add* the bread of heaven.   
\q1
\v 41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;  
\q1 They ran in the dry \add places like\add* a river.   
\q1
\v 42 For he remembered his holy promise,  
\q1 \add And\add* Abraham his servant.   
\q1
\v 43 And he brought forth his people with joy,  
\q1 \add And\add* his chosen with gladness:   
\q1
\v 44 And gave them the lands of the heathen:  
\q1 And they inherited the labour of the people;

\q1 That \add I\add* may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,  
\q1 That \add I\add* may glory with thine inheritance.   
\q1
\v 6 We have sinned with our fathers,  
\q1 We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.   
\q1
\v 7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;  
\q1 They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies;  
\q1 But provoked \add him\add* at the sea, \add even\add* at the Red sea.   
\q1
\v 8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,  
\q1 That \add he\add* might make his mighty power to be known.   
\q1
\v 9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up:  
\q1 So he led them through the depths, as \add through\add* the wilderness.   
\q1
\v 10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated \add them\add*,  
\q1 And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.   
\q1
\v 11 And the waters covered their enemies:  
\q1 There was not one of them left.   
\q1
\v 12 Then believed they his words;  
\q1 They sang his praise.   
\q1
\v 13 They soon forgat his works;  
\q1 They waited not for his counsel:   
\q1
\v 14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,  
\q1 And tempted God in the desert.   
\q1
\v 15 And he gave them their request;  
\q1 But sent leanness into their soul.   
\q1
\v 16 They envied Moses also in the camp,  
\q1 \add And\add* Aaron the saint of the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,  
\q1 And covered the company of Abiram.   
\q1
\v 18 And a fire was kindled in their company;  
\q1 The flame burnt up the wicked.   
\q1
\v 19 They made a calf in Horeb,  
\q1 And worshipped the molten image.   
\q1
\v 20 Thus they changed their glory  
\q1 Into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.   
\q1
\v 21 They forgat God their saviour,  
\q1 Which had done great \add things\add* in Egypt;   
\q1
\v 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,  
\q1 \add And\add* terrible \add things\add* by the Red sea.   
\q1
\v 23 Therefore he said that \add he\add* would destroy them,  
\q1 Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach,  
\q1 To turn away his wrath, lest \add he\add* should destroy \add them\add*.   
\q1
\v 24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,  
\q1 They believed not his word:   
\q1
\v 25 But murmured in their tents,  
\q1 \add And\add* hearkened not unto the voice of the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\q1
\v 26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,  
\q1 To overthrow them in the wilderness:   
\q1
\v 27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations,  
\q1 And to scatter them in the lands.   
\q1
\v 28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,  
\q1 And ate the sacrifices of the dead.   
\q1
\v 29 Thus they provoked \add him\add* to anger with their inventions:  
\q1 And the plague brake in upon them.   
\q1
\v 30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:  
\q1 And \add so\add* the plague was stayed.   
\q1
\v 31 And \add that\add* was counted unto him for righteousness  
\q1 Unto all generations for evermore.   
\q1
\v 32 They angered \add him\add* also at the waters of strife,  
\q1 So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:   
\q1
\v 33 Because they provoked his spirit,  
\q1 So that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.   
\q1
\v 34 They did not destroy the nations,  
\q1 \add Concerning\add* whom the \sc Lord\sc* commanded them:   
\q1
\v 35 But were mingled among the heathen,  
\q1 And learned their works.   
\q1
\v 36 And they served their idols:  
\q1 Which were a snare unto them.   
\q1
\v 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons  
\q1 And their daughters unto devils,   
\q1
\v 38 And shed innocent blood,  
\q1 \add Even\add* the blood of their sons and of their daughters,  
\q1 Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:  
\q1 And the land was polluted with blood.   
\q1
\v 39 Thus were they defiled with their own works,  
\q1 And went a whoring with their own inventions.   
\q1
\v 40 Therefore was the wrath of the \sc Lord\sc* kindled against his people,  
\q1 Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.   
\q1
\v 41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;  
\q1 And they that hated them ruled over them.   
\q1
\v 42 Their enemies also oppressed them,  
\q1 And they were brought into subjection under their hand.   
\q1
\v 43 Many times did he deliver them;  
\q1 But they provoked \add him\add* with their counsel,  
\q1 And were brought low for their iniquity.   
\q1
\v 44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,  
\q1 When he heard their cry:   
\q1
\v 45 And he remembered for them his covenant,  
\q1 And repented according to the multitude of his mercies.   
\q1
\v 46 He made them also to be pitied  
\q1 Of all those that carried them captives.   
\b  
\q1
\v 47 Save us, O \sc Lord\sc* our God,  
\q1 And gather us from among the heathen,  
\q1 To give thanks unto thy holy name,  
\q1 \add And\add* to triumph in thy praise.   
\q1
\v 48 Blessed \add be\add* the \sc Lord\sc* God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:  
\q1 And let all the people say, Amen.  
\q1 Praise ye the \sc Lord\sc*.   
\c 107  
\q1
\v 1 O give thanks unto the \sc Lord\sc*, for \add he is\add* good:  
\q1 For his mercy \add endureth\add* for ever.   
\q1
\v 2 Let the redeemed of the \sc Lord\sc* say \add so\add*,  
\q1 Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;   
\q1
\v 3 And gathered them out of the lands,  
\q1 From the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.   
\b  
\q1
\v 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;  
\q1 They found no city to dwell in.   
\q1
\v 5 Hungry and thirsty,  
\q1 Their soul fainted in them.   
\q1
\v 6 Then they cried unto the \sc Lord\sc* in their trouble,  
\q1 \add And\add* he delivered them out of their distresses.   
\q1
\v 7 And he led them forth by the right way,  
\q1 That \add they\add* might go to a city of habitation.   
\q1
\v 8 Oh that \add men\add* would praise the \sc Lord\sc* \add for\add* his goodness,  
\q1 And \add for\add* his wonderful works to the children of men!   
\q1
\v 9 For he satisfieth the longing soul,  
\q1 And filleth the hungry soul \add with\add* goodness.   
\b  
\q1
\v 10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,  
\q1 \add Being\add* bound in affliction and iron;   
\q1
\v 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,  
\q1 And contemned the counsel of the most High:   
\q1
\v 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour;  
\q1 They fell down, and \add there was\add* none to help.   
\q1
\v 13 Then they cried unto the \sc Lord\sc* in their trouble,  
\q1 \add And\add* he saved them out of their distresses.   
\q1
\v 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,  
\q1 And brake their bands in sunder.   
\q1
\v 15 Oh that \add men\add* would praise the \sc Lord\sc* \add for\add* his goodness,  
\q1 And \add for\add* his wonderful works to the children of men!   
\q1
\v 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass,  
\q1 And cut the bars of iron in sunder.   
\b  
\q1
\v 17 Fools because of their transgression,  
\q1 And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.   
\q1
\v 18 Their soul abhorreth all \add manner of\add* meat;  
\q1 And they draw near unto the gates of death.   
\q1
\v 19 Then they cry unto the \sc Lord\sc* in their trouble,  
\q1 He saveth them out of their distresses.   
\q1
\v 20 He sent his word, and healed them,  
\q1 And delivered \add them\add* from their destructions.   
\q1
\v 21 Oh that \add men\add* would praise the \sc Lord\sc* \add for\add* his goodness,  
\q1 And \add for\add* his wonderful works to the children of men!   
\q1
\v 22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,  
\q1 And declare his works with rejoicing.   
\b  
\q1
\v 23 They that go down to the sea in ships,  
\q1 That do business in great waters;   
\q1
\v 24 These see the works of the \sc Lord\sc*,  
\q1 And his wonders in the deep.   
\q1
\v 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,  
\q1 Which lifteth up the waves thereof.   
\q1
\v 26 They mount up \add to\add* the heaven, they go down \add again to\add* the depths:  
\q1 Their soul is melted because of trouble.   
\q1
\v 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken \add man\add*,  
\q1 And are at their wit’s end.   
\q1
\v 28 Then they cry unto the \sc Lord\sc* in their trouble,  
\q1 And he bringeth them out of their distresses.   
\q1
\v 29 He maketh the storm a calm,  
\q1 So that the waves thereof are still.   
\q1
\v 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet;  
\q1 So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.   
\q1
\v 31 Oh that \add men\add* would praise the \sc Lord\sc* \add for\add* his goodness,  
\q1 And \add for\add* his wonderful works to the children of men!   
\q1
\v 32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,  
\q1 And praise him in the assembly of the elders.   
\b  
\q1
\v 33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness,  
\q1 And the watersprings into dry ground;   
\q1
\v 34 A fruitful land into barrenness,  
\q1 For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.   
\q1
\v 35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,  
\q1 And dry ground into watersprings;   
\q1
\v 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,  
\q1 That they may prepare a city for habitation;   
\q1
\v 37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards,  
\q1 Which may yield fruits of increase.   
\q1
\v 38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;  
\q1 And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.   
\q1
\v 39 Again, they are minished and brought low  
\q1 Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.   
\q1
\v 40 He poureth contempt upon princes,  
\q1 And causeth them to wander in the wilderness, \add where there is\add* no way.   
\q1
\v 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,  
\q1 And maketh \add him\add* families like a flock.   
\q1
\v 42 The righteous shall see \add it\add*, and rejoice:  
\q1 And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

\d To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.  
\q1
\v 1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;   
\q1
\v 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:  
\q1 They have spoken against me \add with\add* a lying tongue.   
\q1
\v 3 They compassed me about also \add with\add* words of hatred;  
\q1 And fought against me without a cause.   
\q1
\v 4 For my love they are my adversaries:  
\q1 But I \add give myself unto\add* prayer.   
\q1
\v 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,  
\q1 And hatred for my love.   
\q1
\v 6 Set thou a wicked \add man\add* over him:  
\q1 And let Satan stand at his right hand.   
\q1
\v 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:

\q1
\v 8 Let his days be few;  
\q1 \add And\add* let another take his office.   
\q1
\v 9 Let his children be fatherless,  
\q1 And his wife a widow.   
\q1
\v 10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:  
\q1 Let them seek \add their bread\add* also out of their desolate places.   
\q1
\v 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;  
\q1 And let the strangers spoil his labour.   
\q1
\v 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:  
\q1 Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.   
\q1
\v 13 Let his posterity be cut off;  
\q1 \add And\add* in the generation following let their name be blotted out.   
\q1
\v 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the \sc Lord\sc*;  
\q1 And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.   
\q1
\v 15 Let them be before the \sc Lord\sc* continually,  
\q1 That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.   
\q1
\v 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy,  
\q1 But persecuted the poor and needy man,  
\q1 That \add he\add* might even slay the broken in heart.

\v 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come \add unto\add* him:
