Psm 103:4 He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
Psm 103:5 He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
Psm 103:6 The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
Psm 103:7 He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
Psm 103:8 The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
Psm 103:9 His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
Psm 103:10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
Psm 103:11 For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
Psm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
Psm 103:13 As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
Psm 103:14 For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
Psm 103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
Psm 103:16 The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
Psm 103:17 But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
Psm 103:18 If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
Psm 103:19 The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
Psm 103:20 Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
Psm 103:21 Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
Psm 103:22 Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Psm 104:1 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
Psm 104:2 You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:
Psm 104:3 The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:
Psm 104:4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.
Psm 104:5 He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;
Psm 104:6 Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;
Psm 104:7 At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;
Psm 104:8 The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.
Psm 104:9 You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.
Psm 104:10 You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.
Psm 104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.
Psm 104:12 The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.
Psm 104:13 He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.
Psm 104:14 He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;
Psm 104:15 And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.
Psm 104:16 The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting;
Psm 104:17 Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.
Psm 104:18 The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.
Psm 104:19 He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.
Psm 104:20 When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places.
Psm 104:21 The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.
Psm 104:22 The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest.
Psm 104:23 Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.
Psm 104:24 O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.
Psm 104:25 There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.
Psm 104:26 There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.
Psm 104:27 All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.
Psm 104:28 They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.
Psm 104:29 If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.
Psm 104:30 If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.
Psm 104:31 Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:
Psm 104:32 At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.
Psm 104:33 I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
Psm 104:34 Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.
Psm 104:35 Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.
Psm 105:1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
Psm 105:2 Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
Psm 105:3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
Psm 105:4 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
Psm 105:5 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
Psm 105:6 O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
Psm 105:7 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
Psm 105:8 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
Psm 105:9 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
Psm 105:10 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
Psm 105:11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
Psm 105:12 When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
Psm 105:13 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
Psm 105:14 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
Psm 105:15 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
Psm 105:16 And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
Psm 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
Psm 105:18 His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
Psm 105:19 Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
Psm 105:20 The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
Psm 105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
Psm 105:22 To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
Psm 105:23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
Psm 105:24 And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
Psm 105:25 Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
Psm 105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
Psm 105:27 He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
Psm 105:28 He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
Psm 105:29 At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
Psm 105:30 Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
Psm 105:31 He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
Psm 105:32 He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
Psm 105:33 He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
Psm 105:34 At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
Psm 105:35 And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
Psm 105:36 He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
Psm 105:37 He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
Psm 105:38 Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
Psm 105:39 A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
Psm 105:40 At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
Psm 105:41 His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
Psm 105:42 For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
Psm 105:43 And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
Psm 105:44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
Psm 105:45 So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
Psm 106:1 Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 106:2 Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?
Psm 106:3 Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.
Psm 106:4 Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;
Psm 106:5 So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.
Psm 106:6 We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.
Psm 106:7 Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Psm 106:8 But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.
Psm 106:9 By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.
Psm 106:10 And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.
Psm 106:11 And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.
Psm 106:12 Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.
Psm 106:13 But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,
Psm 106:14 They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.
Psm 106:15 And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.
Psm 106:16 They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
Psm 106:17 The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.
Psm 106:18 And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.
Psm 106:19 They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.
Psm 106:20 And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.
Psm 106:21 They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
Psm 106:22 Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.
Psm 106:23 And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.
Psm 106:24 They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;
Psm 106:25 Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.
Psm 106:26 So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:
Psm 106:27 That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.
Psm 106:28 And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.
Psm 106:29 So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.
Psm 106:30 Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.
Psm 106:31 And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.
Psm 106:32 They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;
Psm 106:33 For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.
Psm 106:34 They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;
Psm 106:35 But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.
Psm 106:36 And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:
Psm 106:37 They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,
Psm 106:38 And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.
Psm 106:39 So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.
Psm 106:40 Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.
Psm 106:41 And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.
Psm 106:42 By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.
Psm 106:43 Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.
Psm 106:44 But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:
Psm 106:45 And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.
Psm 106:46 He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.
Psm 106:47 Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.
Psm 106:48 Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
Psm 107:1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 107:2 Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;
Psm 107:3 Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
Psm 107:4 They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.
Psm 107:5 Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.
Psm 107:6 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;
Psm 107:7 Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.
Psm 107:8 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
Psm 107:9 He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.
Psm 107:10 Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;
Psm 107:11 Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:
Psm 107:12 So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.
Psm 107:13 Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.
Psm 107:14 He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.
Psm 107:15 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
Psm 107:16 The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.
Psm 107:17 Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;
Psm 107:18 They are disgusted by all food, and they come near to the doors of death.
Psm 107:19 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
Psm 107:20 He sent his word and made them well, and kept them safe from the underworld.
Psm 107:21 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
Psm 107:22 Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.
Psm 107:23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in the great waters;
Psm 107:24 They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
Psm 107:25 For at his word comes up the storm-wind, lifting high the waves.
Psm 107:26 The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble.
Psm 107:27 They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.
Psm 107:28 Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles.
Psm 107:29 He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace.
Psm 107:30 Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.
Psm 107:31 Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
Psm 107:32 Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.
Psm 107:33 He makes rivers into waste places, and springs of water into a dry land;
Psm 107:34 He makes a fertile country into a salt waste, because of the sins of those who are living there.
Psm 107:35 He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.
Psm 107:36 And there he gives the poor a resting-place, so that they may make themselves a town;
Psm 107:37 And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.
Psm 107:38 He gives them his blessing so that they are increased greatly, and their cattle do not become less.
Psm 107:39 And when they are made low, and crushed by trouble and sorrow,
Psm 107:40 He puts an end to the pride of kings, and sends them wandering in the waste lands where there is no way.
Psm 107:41 But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.
Psm 107:42 The upright see it and are glad: the mouth of the sinner is stopped.
Psm 107:43 Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.
Psm 108:1 <A Song. A Psalm. Of David.> O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
Psm 108:2 Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
Psm 108:3 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
Psm 108:4 For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
Psm 108:5 Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
Psm 108:6 Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
Psm 108:7 This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.
Psm 108:8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
Psm 108:9 Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
Psm 108:10 Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
Psm 108:11 Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
Psm 108:12 Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
Psm 108:13 With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
Psm 109:1 <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;
Psm 109:2 For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.
Psm 109:3 Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.
Psm 109:4 For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.
Psm 109:5 They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.
Psm 109:6 Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.
Psm 109:7 When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.
Psm 109:8 Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.
Psm 109:9 Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.
Psm 109:10 Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.
Psm 109:11 Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.
Psm 109:12 Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.
Psm 109:13 Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.
Psm 109:14 Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.
Psm 109:15 Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.
Psm 109:16 Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.
Psm 109:17 As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
Psm 109:18 He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
Psm 109:19 Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.
Psm 109:20 Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.
Psm 109:21 But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
Psm 109:22 For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.
Psm 109:23 I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.
Psm 109:24 My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.
Psm 109:25 As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.
Psm 109:26 Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;
Psm 109:27 So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.
Psm 109:28 They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.
Psm 109:29 Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.
Psm 109:30 I will give the Lord great praise with my mouth; yes, I will give praise to him among all the people.
Psm 109:31 For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.
Psm 110:1 <A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.
Psm 110:2 The Lord will send out the rod of your strength from Zion; be king over your haters.
Psm 110:3 Your people give themselves gladly in the day of your power; like the dew of the morning on the holy mountains is the army of your young men.
Psm 110:4 The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.
Psm 110:5 In the day of his wrath kings will be wounded by the Lord at your right hand.
Psm 110:6 He will be judge among the nations, the valleys will be full of dead bodies; the head over a great country will be wounded by him.
Psm 110:7 He will take of the stream by the way; so his head will be lifted up.
Psm 111:1 Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.
Psm 111:2 The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.
Psm 111:3 His work is full of honour and glory; and his righteousness is unchanging for ever.
Psm 111:4 Certain for ever is the memory of his wonders: the Lord is full of pity and mercy.
Psm 111:5 He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.
Psm 111:6 He has made clear to his people the power of his works, giving them the heritage of the nations.
Psm 111:7 The works of his hands are faith and righteousness; all his laws are unchanging.
Psm 111:8 They are fixed for ever and ever, they are done in faith and righteousness.
Psm 111:9 He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.
Psm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the best part of wisdom: all those who keep his laws are wise: his praise is eternal.
Psm 112:1 Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.
Psm 112:2 His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.
Psm 112:3 A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.
Psm 112:4 For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.
Psm 112:5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.
Psm 112:6 He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.
Psm 112:7 He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.
Psm 112:8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.
Psm 112:9 He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.
Psm 112:10 The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
Psm 113:1 Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
Psm 113:2 Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.
Psm 113:3 From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.
Psm 113:4 The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.
Psm 113:5 Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,
Psm 113:6 Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?
Psm 113:7 He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;
Psm 113:8 To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.
Psm 113:9 He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
Psm 114:1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
Psm 114:2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
Psm 114:3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
Psm 114:4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
Psm 114:5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
Psm 114:6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
Psm 114:7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Psm 114:8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
Psm 115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.
Psm 115:2 Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?
Psm 115:3 But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.
Psm 115:4 Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psm 115:5 They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;
Psm 115:6 They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;
Psm 115:7 They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.
Psm 115:8 Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.
Psm 115:9 O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
Psm 115:10 O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
Psm 115:11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
Psm 115:12 The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.
Psm 115:13 He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.
Psm 115:14 May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.
Psm 115:15 May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psm 115:16 The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.
Psm 115:17 The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.
Psm 115:18 But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
Psm 116:1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.
Psm 116:2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.
Psm 116:3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.
Psm 116:4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.
Psm 116:5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.
Psm 116:6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.
Psm 116:7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.
Psm 116:8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.
Psm 116:9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.
Psm 116:10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;
Psm 116:11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.
Psm 116:12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?
Psm 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.
Psm 116:14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.
Psm 116:15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Psm 116:16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.
Psm 116:17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.
Psm 116:18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;
Psm 116:19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
Psm 117:1 Let all the nations give praise to the Lord: let all the people give him praise.
Psm 117:2 For great is his mercy to us, and his faith is unchanging for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
Psm 118:1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 118:2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 118:4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 118:5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.
Psm 118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
Psm 118:7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
Psm 118:8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.
Psm 118:9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
Psm 118:10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Psm 118:11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Psm 118:12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Psm 118:13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.
Psm 118:14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
Psm 118:15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
Psm 118:16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
Psm 118:17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.
Psm 118:18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.
Psm 118:19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.
Psm 118:20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.
Psm 118:21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.
Psm 118:22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.
Psm 118:23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.
Psm 118:24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
Psm 118:25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.
Psm 118:26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.
Psm 118:27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.
Psm 118:28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.
Psm 118:29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 119:1 <ALEPH> Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.
Psm 119:2 Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
Psm 119:3 They do no evil; they go in his ways.
Psm 119:4 You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.
Psm 119:5 If only my ways were ordered so that I might keep your rules!
Psm 119:6 Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
Psm 119:7 I will give you praise with an upright heart in learning your right decisions.
Psm 119:8 I will keep your rules: O give me not up completely.
Psm 119:9 <BETH> How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
Psm 119:10 I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.
Psm 119:11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
Psm 119:12 Praise be to you, O Lord: give me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:13 With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.
Psm 119:14 I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.
Psm 119:15 I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.
Psm 119:16 I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.
Psm 119:17 <GIMEL> Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;
Psm 119:18 Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.
Psm 119:19 I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.
Psm 119:20 My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
Psm 119:21 Your hand has been against the men of pride, a curse is on those who go wandering out of your way.
Psm 119:22 Take away from me shame and bitter words; for I have kept your unchanging word in my heart.
Psm 119:23 Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.
Psm 119:24 Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.
Psm 119:25 <DALETH> My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.
Psm 119:26 I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:27 Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.
Psm 119:28 My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word
Psm 119:29 Take from me every false way; and in mercy give me your law.
Psm 119:30 I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.
Psm 119:31 I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.
Psm 119:32 I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.
Psm 119:33 <HE> O Lord, let me see the way of your rules, and I will keep it to the end.
Psm 119:34 Give me wisdom, so that I may keep your law; going after it with all my heart.
Psm 119:35 Make me go in the way of your teachings; for they are my delight.
Psm 119:36 Let my heart be turned to your unchanging word, and not to evil desire.
Psm 119:37 Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
Psm 119:38 Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.
Psm 119:39 Take away the shame which is my fear; for your decisions are good.
Psm 119:40 See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.
Psm 119:41 <VAU> Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
Psm 119:42 So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.
Psm 119:43 Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.
Psm 119:44 So that I may keep your law for ever and ever;
Psm 119:45 So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.
Psm 119:46 So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
Psm 119:47 And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
Psm 119:48 And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.
Psm 119:49 <ZAIN> Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.
Psm 119:50 This is my comfort in my trouble; that your sayings have given me life.
Psm 119:51 The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.
Psm 119:52 I have kept the memory of your decisions from times past, O Lord; and they have been my comfort.
Psm 119:53 I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.
Psm 119:54 Your rules have been melodies to me, while I have been living in strange lands.
Psm 119:55 I have given thought to your name in the night, O Lord, and have kept your law.
Psm 119:56 This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.
Psm 119:57 <CHETH> The Lord is my heritage: I have said that I would be ruled by your words.
Psm 119:58 I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.
Psm 119:59 I gave thought to my steps, and my feet were turned into the way of your unchanging word.
Psm 119:60 I was quick to do your orders, and let no time be wasted.
Psm 119:61 The cords of evil-doers are round me; but I have kept in mind your law.
Psm 119:62 In the middle of the night I will get up to give you praise, because of all your right decisions.
Psm 119:63 I keep company with all your worshippers, and those who have your orders in their memory.
Psm 119:64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy: give me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:65 <TETH> You have done good to your servant, O Lord, in keeping with your word.
Psm 119:66 Give me knowledge and good sense; for I have put my faith in your teachings.
Psm 119:67 Before I was in trouble I went out of the way; but now I keep your word.
Psm 119:68 You are good, and your works are good; give me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:69 The men of pride have said false things about me; but I will keep your orders in my heart.
Psm 119:70 Their hearts are shut up with fat; but my delight is in your law.
Psm 119:71 It is good for me to have been through trouble; so that I might come to the knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
Psm 119:73 <JOD> Your hands have made me, and given me form: give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your teaching.
Psm 119:74 Your worshippers will see me and be glad; because my hope has been in your word.
Psm 119:75 I have seen, O Lord, that your decisions are right, and that in unchanging faith you have sent trouble on me.
Psm 119:76 Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.
Psm 119:77 Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.
Psm 119:78 Let the men of pride be shamed; because they have falsely given decision against me; but I will give thought to your orders.
Psm 119:79 Let your worshippers be turned to me, and those who have knowledge of your words.
Psm 119:80 Let all my heart be given to your orders, so that I may not be put to shame.
Psm 119:81 <CAPH> My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.
Psm 119:82 My eyes are full of weariness with searching for your word, saying, When will you give me comfort?
Psm 119:83 For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.
Psm 119:84 How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?
Psm 119:85 The men of pride, who are turned away from your law, have put nets for me.
Psm 119:86 All your teachings are certain; they go after me with evil design; give me your help.
Psm 119:87 They had almost put an end to me on earth; but I did not give up your orders.
Psm 119:88 Give me life in your mercy; so that I may be ruled by the unchanging word of your mouth.
Psm 119:89 <LAMED> For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.
Psm 119:90 Your faith is unchanging from generation to generation: you have put the earth in its place, and it is not moved.
Psm 119:91 They are ruled this day by your decisions; for all things are your servants.
Psm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, my troubles would have put an end to me.
Psm 119:93 I will ever keep your orders in mind; for in them I have life.
Psm 119:94 I am yours, O be my saviour; for my desire has been for your rules.
Psm 119:95 The sinners have been waiting for me to give me up to destruction; but I will give all my mind to your unchanging ward.
Psm 119:96 I have seen that nothing on earth is complete; but your teaching is very wide.
Psm 119:97 <MEM> O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.
Psm 119:98 Your teaching has made me wiser than my haters: for it is mine for ever.
Psm 119:99 I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because I give thought to your unchanging word.
Psm 119:100 I have more wisdom than the old, because I have kept your orders.
Psm 119:101 I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.
Psm 119:102 My heart has not been turned away from your decisions; for you have been my teacher.
Psm 119:103 How sweet are your sayings to my taste! truly, they are sweeter than honey in my mouth!
Psm 119:104 Through your orders I get wisdom; for this reason I am a hater of every false way.
Psm 119:105 <NUN> Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.
Psm 119:106 I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.
Psm 119:107 I am greatly troubled, O Lord, give me life in keeping with your word.
Psm 119:108 Take, O Lord, the free offerings of my mouth, and give me knowledge of your decisions.
Psm 119:109 My soul is ever in danger; but I still keep the memory of your law.
Psm 119:110 Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.
Psm 119:111 I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.
Psm 119:112 My heart is ever ready to keep your rules, even to the end.
Psm 119:113 <SAMECH> I am a hater of men of doubting mind; but I am a lover of your law.
Psm 119:114 You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.
Psm 119:115 Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.
Psm 119:116 Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.
Psm 119:117 Let me not be moved, and I will be safe, and ever take delight in your rules.
Psm 119:118 You have overcome all those who are wandering from your rules; for all their thoughts are false.
Psm 119:119 All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.
Psm 119:120 My flesh is moved for fear of you; I give honour to your decisions.
Psm 119:121 <AIN> I have done what is good and right: you will not give me into the hands of those who are working against me.
Psm 119:122 Take your servant's interests into your keeping; let me not be crushed by the men of pride.
Psm 119:123 My eyes are wasted with desire for your salvation, and for the word of your righteousness.
Psm 119:124 Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.
Psm 119:125 I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.
Psm 119:126 It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.
Psm 119:127 For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.
Psm 119:128 Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.
Psm 119:129 <PE> Your unchanging word is full of wonder; for this reason my soul keeps it.
Psm 119:130 The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.
Psm 119:131 My mouth was open wide, waiting with great desire for your teachings.
Psm 119:132 Let your eyes be turned to me, and have mercy on me, as it is right for you to do to those who are lovers of your name.
Psm 119:133 Let my steps be guided by your word; and let not sin have control over me.
Psm 119:134 Make me free from the cruel rule of man; then I will keep your orders.
Psm 119:135 Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:136 Rivers of water are flowing from my eyes, because men do not keep your law.
Psm 119:137 <TZADE> O Lord, great is your righteousness, and upright are your decisions.
Psm 119:138 You have given your unchanging word in righteousness, and it is for ever.
Psm 119:139 My passion has overcome me; because my haters are turned away from your words.
Psm 119:140 Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.
Psm 119:141 I am small and of no account; but I keep your orders in mind.
Psm 119:142 Your righteousness is an unchanging righteousness, and your law is certain.
Psm 119:143 Pain and trouble have overcome me: but your teachings are my delight.
Psm 119:144 The righteousness of your unchanging word is eternal; give me wisdom so that I may have life.
Psm 119:145 <KOPH> I have made my prayer with all my heart; give answer to me, O Lord: I will keep your rules.
Psm 119:146 My cry has gone up to you; take me out of trouble, and I will be guided by your unchanging word.
Psm 119:147 Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.
Psm 119:148 In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.
Psm 119:149 Let my voice come to you, in your mercy; O Lord, by your decisions give me life.
Psm 119:150 Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.
Psm 119:151 You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.
Psm 119:152 I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.
Psm 119:153 <RESH> O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,
Psm 119:154 Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.
Psm 119:155 Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.
Psm 119:156 Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.
Psm 119:157 Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.
Psm 119:158 I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.
Psm 119:159 See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.
Psm 119:160 Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.
Psm 119:161 <SHIN> Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.
Psm 119:162 I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.
Psm 119:163 I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.
Psm 119:164 Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions.
Psm 119:165 Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.
Psm 119:166 Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.
Psm 119:167 My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.
Psm 119:168 I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.
Psm 119:169 <TAU> Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word.
Psm 119:170 Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.
Psm 119:171 Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules.
Psm 119:172 Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.
Psm 119:173 Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.
Psm 119:174 All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.
Psm 119:175 Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.
Psm 119:176 I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.
Psm 120:1 <A Song of the going up.> In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
Psm 120:2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
Psm 120:3 What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?
Psm 120:4 Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.
Psm 120:5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
Psm 120:6 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
Psm 120:7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
Psm 121:1 <A Song of the going up.> My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?
Psm 121:2 Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psm 121:3 May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.
Psm 121:4 See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.
Psm 121:5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
Psm 121:6 You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.
Psm 121:7 The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.
Psm 121:8 The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
Psm 122:1 <A Song of the going up. Of David.> I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
Psm 122:2 At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
Psm 122:3 O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
Psm 122:4 To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
Psm 122:5 For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
Psm 122:6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
Psm 122:7 May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
Psm 122:8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.
Psm 122:9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
Psm 123:1 <A Song of the going up.> To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.
Psm 123:2 See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.
Psm 123:3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.
Psm 123:4 For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
Psm 124:1 <A Song of the going up. Of David.> If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
Psm 124:2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
Psm 124:3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
Psm 124:4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
Psm 124:5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
Psm 124:6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
Psm 124:7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
Psm 124:8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
Psm 125:1 <A Song of the going up.> Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.
Psm 125:2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.
Psm 125:3 For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.
Psm 125:4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.
Psm 125:5 But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
Psm 126:1 <A Song of the going up.> When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream.
Psm 126:2 Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.
Psm 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.
Psm 126:4 Let our fate be changed, O Lord, like the streams in the South.
Psm 126:5 Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.
Psm 126:6 Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.
Psm 127:1 <A Song of the going up. Of Solomon.> If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.
Psm 127:2 It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.
Psm 127:3 See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.
Psm 127:4 Like arrows in the hand of a man of war, are the children of the young.
Psm 127:5 Happy is the man who has a good store of them; he will not be put to shame, but his cause will be supported by them against his haters.
Psm 128:1 <A Song of the going up.> Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
Psm 128:2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
Psm 128:3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
Psm 128:4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
Psm 128:5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Psm 128:6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
Psm 129:1 <A Song of the going up.> Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);
Psm 129:2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.
Psm 129:3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.
Psm 129:4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.
Psm 129:5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.
Psm 129:6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.
Psm 129:7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.
Psm 129:8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.
Psm 130:1 <A Song of the going up.> Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.
Psm 130:2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.
Psm 130:3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?
Psm 130:4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.
Psm 130:5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.
Psm 130:6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.
Psm 130:7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
Psm 130:8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
Psm 131:1 <A Song of the going up. Of David.> Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.
Psm 131:2 See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.
Psm 131:3 O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.
Psm 132:1 <A Song of the going up.> Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;
Psm 132:2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,
Psm 132:3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,
Psm 132:4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,
Psm 132:5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.
Psm 132:6 We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.
Psm 132:7 Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.
Psm 132:8 Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
Psm 132:9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.
Psm 132:10 Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.
Psm 132:11 The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.
Psm 132:12 If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.
Psm 132:13 For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
Psm 132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.
Psm 132:15 My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.
Psm 132:16 Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.
Psm 132:17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.
Psm 132:18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
Psm 133:1 <A Song of the going up. Of David.> See how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to be living together in harmony!
Psm 133:2 It is like oil of great price on the head, flowing down over the face, even Aaron's face: coming down to the edge of his robe;
Psm 133:3 Like the dew of Hermon, which comes down on the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord gave orders for the blessing, even life for ever.
Psm 134:1 <A Song of the going up.> Give praise to the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who take your places in the house of the Lord by night.
Psm 134:2 Give praise to the Lord, lifting up your hands in his holy place.
Psm 134:3 May the Lord, who made heaven and earth, send you blessing out of Zion,
Psm 135:1 Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
Psm 135:2 You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,
Psm 135:3 Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
Psm 135:4 For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
Psm 135:5 I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.
Psm 135:6 The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.
Psm 135:7 He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.
Psm 135:8 He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.
Psm 135:9 He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
Psm 135:10 He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;
Psm 135:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Psm 135:12 And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.
Psm 135:13 O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
Psm 135:14 For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.
Psm 135:15 The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psm 135:16 They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;
Psm 135:17 They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.
Psm 135:18 Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.
Psm 135:19 Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:
Psm 135:20 Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
Psm 135:21 Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
Psm 136:1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:2 O give praise to the God of gods: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:3 O give praise to the Lord of lords: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:4 To him who only does great wonders: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:5 To him who by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:6 To him by whom the earth was stretched out over the waters: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:7 To him who made great lights: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:8 The sun to have rule by day: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:9 The moon and the stars to have rule by night: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:10 To him who put to death the first-fruits of Egypt: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:11 And took out Israel from among them: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:12 With a strong hand and an outstretched arm: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:13 To him who made a way through the Red Sea: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:14 And let Israel go through it: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:15 By him Pharaoh and his army were overturned in the Red Sea: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:16 To him who took his people through the waste land: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:17 To him who overcame great kings: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:18 And put noble kings to death: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:19 Sihon, king of the Amorites: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:20 And Og, king of Bashan: for his mercy is unchanging for ever:
Psm 136:21 And gave their land to his people for a heritage: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:22 Even a heritage for his servant Israel: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:23 Who kept us in mind when we were in trouble: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:24 And has taken us out of the hands of our haters: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:25 Who gives food to all flesh: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 136:26 O give praise to the God of heaven: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Psm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,
Psm 137:2 Hanging our instruments of music on the trees by the waterside.
Psm 137:3 For there those who had taken us prisoners made request for a song; and those who had taken away all we had gave us orders to be glad, saying, Give us one of the songs of Zion.
Psm 137:4 How may we give the Lord's song in a strange land?
Psm 137:5 If I keep not your memory, O Jerusalem, let not my right hand keep the memory of its art.
Psm 137:6 If I let you go out of my thoughts, and if I do not put Jerusalem before my greatest joy, let my tongue be fixed to the roof of my mouth.
Psm 137:7 O Lord, keep in mind against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; how they said, Let it be uncovered, uncovered even to its base.
Psm 137:8 O daughter of Babylon, whose fate is destruction; happy is the man who does to you what you have done to us.
Psm 137:9 Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.
Psm 138:1 <Of David.> I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.
Psm 138:2 I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.
Psm 138:3 When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.
Psm 138:4 All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.
Psm 138:5 They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
Psm 138:6 Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.
Psm 138:7 Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.
Psm 138:8 The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.
Psm 139:1 <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
Psm 139:2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
Psm 139:3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
Psm 139:4 For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
Psm 139:5 I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
Psm 139:6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
Psm 139:7 Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
Psm 139:8 If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.
Psm 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
Psm 139:10 Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
Psm 139:11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
Psm 139:12 Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
Psm 139:13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
Psm 139:14 I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
Psm 139:15 My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
Psm 139:17 How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
Psm 139:18 If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
Psm 139:19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
Psm 139:20 For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
Psm 139:21 Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
Psm 139:22 My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
Psm 139:23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
Psm 139:24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
Psm 140:1 <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:
Psm 140:2 For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.
Psm 140:3 Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah.)
Psm 140:4 O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.
Psm 140:5 The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.)
Psm 140:6 I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.
Psm 140:7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
Psm 140:8 O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah.)
Psm 140:9 As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
Psm 140:10 Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
Psm 140:11 Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
Psm 140:12 I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
Psm 140:13 Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.
Psm 141:1 <A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.
Psm 141:2 Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.
Psm 141:3 O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Psm 141:4 Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.
Psm 141:5 Let the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.
Psm 141:6 When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.
Psm 141:7 Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough.
Psm 141:8 But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.
Psm 141:9 Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.
Psm 141:10 Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.
Psm 142:1 <Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock.> The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.
Psm 142:2 I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.
Psm 142:3 When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.
Psm 142:4 Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.
Psm 142:5 I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.
Psm 142:6 Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.
Psm 142:7 Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
Psm 143:1 <A Psalm. Of David.> Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
Psm 143:2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Psm 143:3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
Psm 143:4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Psm 143:5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Psm 143:6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah.)
Psm 143:7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
Psm 143:8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
Psm 143:9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
Psm 143:10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Psm 143:11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
Psm 143:12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Psm 144:1 <A Psalm. Of David.> Praise be to the God of my strength, teaching my hands the use of the sword, and my fingers the art of fighting:
Psm 144:2 He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.
Psm 144:3 Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?
Psm 144:4 Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.
Psm 144:5 Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.
Psm 144:6 With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.
Psm 144:7 Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;
Psm 144:8 In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
Psm 144:9 I will make a new song to you, O God; I will make melody to you on an instrument of ten cords.
Psm 144:10 It is God who gives salvation to kings; and who kept his servant David from the wounding sword.
Psm 144:11 Make me free, and take me out of the hands of strange men, in whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.
Psm 144:12 Our sons are like tall young plants; and our daughters like the shining stones of a king's house;
Psm 144:13 Our store-houses are full of all good things; and our sheep give birth to thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
Psm 144:14 Our oxen are well weighted down; our cows give birth safely; there is no going out, and there is no cry of sorrow in our open places.
Psm 144:15 Happy is the nation whose ways are so ordered: yes, happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Psm 145:1 <A Song of praise. Of David.> Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.
Psm 145:2 Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.
Psm 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
Psm 145:4 One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
Psm 145:5 My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.
Psm 145:6 Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.
Psm 145:7 Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.
Psm 145:8 The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.
Psm 145:9 The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.
Psm 145:10 All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.
Psm 145:11 Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;
Psm 145:12 So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.
Psm 145:13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
Psm 145:14 The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.
Psm 145:15 The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.
Psm 145:16 By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
Psm 145:17 The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
Psm 145:18 The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.
Psm 145:19 To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.
Psm 145:20 The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
Psm 145:21 My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
Psm 146:1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Psm 146:2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
Psm 146:3 Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Psm 146:4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
Psm 146:5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
Psm 146:6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
Psm 146:7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
Psm 146:8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
Psm 146:9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
Psm 146:10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
Psm 147:1 Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.
Psm 147:2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.
Psm 147:3 He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.
Psm 147:4 He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
Psm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
Psm 147:6 The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
Psm 147:7 Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
Psm 147:8 By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
Psm 147:9 He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.
Psm 147:10 He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
Psm 147:11 The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
Psm 147:12 Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.
Psm 147:13 He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.
Psm 147:14 He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.
Psm 147:15 He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.
Psm 147:16 He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
Psm 147:17 He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.
Psm 147:18 At the outgoing of his word, the ice is turned to water; when he sends out his wind, there is a flowing of waters.
Psm 147:19 He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.
Psm 147:20 He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.
Psm 148:1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
Psm 148:2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
Psm 148:3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
Psm 148:4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
Psm 148:5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
Psm 148:6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
Psm 148:7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
Psm 148:8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
Psm 148:9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
Psm 148:10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
Psm 148:11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
Psm 148:12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
Psm 148:13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
Psm 148:14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
Psm 149:1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.
Psm 149:2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.
Psm 149:3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.
Psm 149:4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.
Psm 149:5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.
Psm 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;
Psm 149:7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;
Psm 149:8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;
Psm 149:9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
Psm 150:1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to God in his holy place: give him praise in the heaven of his power.
Psm 150:2 Give him praise for his acts of power: give him praise in the measure of his great strength.
Psm 150:3 Give him praise with the sound of the horn: give him praise with corded instruments of music.
Psm 150:4 Give him praise with instruments of brass and in the dance: give him praise with horns and corded instruments.
Psm 150:5 Give him praise with the loud brass: give him praise with the high-sounding brass.
Psm 150:6 Let everything which has breath give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised.
Pro 1:1 The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
Pro 1:2 To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:
Pro 1:3 To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:
Pro 1:4 To make the simple-minded sharp, and to give the young man knowledge, and serious purpose:
Pro 1:5 (The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)
Pro 1:6 To get the sense of wise sayings and secrets, and of the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
Pro 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
Pro 1:8 My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:
Pro 1:9 For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.
Pro 1:10 My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
Pro 1:11 If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;
Pro 1:12 Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death;
Pro 1:13 Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;
Pro 1:14 Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:
Pro 1:15 My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
Pro 1:16 For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.
Pro 1:17 Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:
Pro 1:18 And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.
Pro 1:19 Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
Pro 1:20 Wisdom is crying out in the street; her voice is loud in the open places;
Pro 1:21 Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:
Pro 1:22 How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?
Pro 1:23 Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.
Pro 1:24 Because your ears were shut to my voice; no one gave attention to my out-stretched hand;
Pro 1:25 You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:
Pro 1:26 So in the day of your trouble I will be laughing; I will make sport of your fear;
Pro 1:27 When your fear comes on you like a storm, and your trouble like a rushing wind; when pain and sorrow come on you.
Pro 1:28 Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me:
Pro 1:29 For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord:
Pro 1:30 They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.
Pro 1:31 So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full.
Pro 1:32 For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction.
Pro 1:33 But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.
Pro 2:1 My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind;
Pro 2:2 So that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge;
Pro 2:3 Truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge;
Pro 2:4 If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth;
Pro 2:5 Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.
Pro 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason:
Pro 2:7 He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil;
Pro 2:8 He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.
Pro 2:9 Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way.
Pro 2:10 For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;
Pro 2:11 Wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you;
Pro 2:12 Giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false;
Pro 2:13 Who give up the way of righteousness, to go by dark roads;
Pro 2:14 Who take pleasure in wrongdoing, and have joy in the evil designs of the sinner;
Pro 2:15 Whose ways are not straight, and whose footsteps are turned to evil:
Pro 2:16 To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;
Pro 2:17 Who is false to the husband of her early years, and does not keep the agreement of her God in mind:
Pro 2:18 For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
Pro 2:19 Those who go to her do not come back again; their feet do not keep in the ways of life:
Pro 2:20 So that you may go in the way of good men, and keep in the footsteps of the upright.
Pro 2:21 For the upright will be living in the land, and the good will have it for their heritage.
Pro 2:22 But sinners will be cut off from the land, and those whose acts are false will be uprooted.
Pro 3:1 My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
Pro 3:2 For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
Pro 3:3 Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;
Pro 3:4 So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.
Pro 3:5 Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.
Pro 3:6 In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
Pro 3:7 Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:
Pro 3:8 This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.
Pro 3:9 Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
Pro 3:10 So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.
Pro 3:11 My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:
Pro 3:12 For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.
Pro 3:13 Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.
Pro 3:14 For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.
Pro 3:15 She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.
Pro 3:16 Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.
Pro 3:17 Her ways are ways of delight, and all her goings are peace.
Pro 3:18 She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.
Pro 3:19 The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.
Pro 3:20 By his knowledge the deep was parted, and dew came dropping from the skies.
Pro 3:21 My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.
Pro 3:22 So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.
Pro 3:23 Then you will go safely on your way, and your feet will have no cause for slipping.
Pro 3:24 When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.
Pro 3:25 Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:
Pro 3:26 For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.
Pro 3:27 Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Pro 3:28 Say not to your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you at the time.
Pro 3:29 Do not make evil designs against your neighbour, when he is living with you without fear.
Pro 3:30 Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.
Pro 3:31 Have no envy of the violent man, or take any of his ways as an example.
Pro 3:32 For the wrong-hearted man is hated by the Lord, but he is a friend to the upright.
Pro 3:33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the evil-doer, but his blessing is on the tent of the upright.
Pro 3:34 He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.
Pro 3:35 The wise will have glory for their heritage, but shame will be the reward of the foolish.
Pro 4:1 Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:
Pro 4:2 For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me.
Pro 4:3 For I was a son to my father, a gentle and an only one to my mother.
Pro 4:4 And he gave me teaching, saying to me, Keep my words in your heart; keep my rules so that you may have life:
Pro 4:5 Get wisdom, get true knowledge; keep it in memory, do not be turned away from the words of my mouth.
Pro 4:6 Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.
Pro 4:7 The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.
Pro 4:8 Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.
Pro 4:9 She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory.
Pro 4:10 Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.
Pro 4:11 I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.
Pro 4:12 When you go, your way will not be narrow, and in running you will not have a fall.
Pro 4:13 Take learning in your hands, do not let her go: keep her, for she is your life.
Pro 4:14 Do not go in the road of sinners, or be walking in the way of evil men.
Pro 4:15 Keep far from it, do not go near; be turned from it, and go on your way.
Pro 4:16 For they take no rest till they have done evil; their sleep is taken away if they have not been the cause of someone's fall.
Pro 4:17 The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.
Pro 4:18 But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.
Pro 4:19 The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.
Pro 4:20 My son, give attention to my words; let your ear be turned to my sayings.
Pro 4:21 Let them not go from your eyes; keep them deep in your heart.
Pro 4:22 For they are life to him who gets them, and strength to all his flesh.
Pro 4:23 And keep watch over your heart with all care; so you will have life.
Pro 4:24 Put away from you an evil tongue, and let false lips be far from you.
Pro 4:25 Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.
Pro 4:26 Keep a watch on your behaviour; let all your ways be rightly ordered.
Pro 4:27 Let there be no turning to the right or to the left, keep your feet from evil.
Pro 5:1 My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:
Pro 5:2 So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge.
Pro 5:3 For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
Pro 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword;
Pro 5:5 Her feet go down to death, and her steps to the underworld;
Pro 5:6 She never keeps her mind on the road of life; her ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge.
Pro 5:7 Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.
Pro 5:8 Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house;
Pro 5:9 For fear that you may give your honour to others, and your wealth to strange men:
Pro 5:10 And strange men may be full of your wealth, and the fruit of your work go to the house of others;
Pro 5:11 And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted;
Pro 5:12 And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;
Pro 5:13 I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me!
Pro 5:14 I was in almost all evil in the company of the people.
Pro 5:15 Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain.
Pro 5:16 Let not your springs be flowing in the streets, or your streams of water in the open places.
Pro 5:17 Let them be for yourself only, not for other men with you.
Pro 5:18 Let blessing be on your fountain; have joy in the wife of your early years.
Pro 5:19 As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love.
Pro 5:20 Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms?
Pro 5:21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he puts all his goings in the scales.
Pro 5:22 The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.
Pro 5:23 He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way.
Pro 6:1 My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,
Pro 6:2 You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you.
Pro 6:3 Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.
Pro 6:4 Give no sleep to your eyes, or rest to them;
Pro 6:5 Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.
Pro 6:6 Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:
Pro 6:7 Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
Pro 6:8 She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.
Pro 6:9 How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
Pro 6:10 A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
Pro 6:11 Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
Pro 6:12 A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;
Pro 6:13 Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;
Pro 6:14 His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.
Pro 6:15 For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
Pro 6:16 Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
Pro 6:17 Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
Pro 6:18 A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
Pro 6:19 A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
Pro 6:20 My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:
Pro 6:21 Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck.
Pro 6:22 In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.
Pro 6:23 For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.
Pro 6:24 They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.
Pro 6:25 Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.
Pro 6:26 For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
Pro 6:27 May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing?
Pro 6:28 Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned?
Pro 6:29 So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment.
Pro 6:30 Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:
Pro 6:31 But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.
Pro 6:32 He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.
Pro 6:33 Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.
Pro 6:34 For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.
Pro 6:35 He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
Pro 7:1 My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.
Pro 7:2 Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes;
Pro 7:3 Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart.
Pro 7:4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:
Pro 7:5 So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.
Pro 7:6 Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,
Pro 7:7 I saw among the young men one without sense,
Pro 7:8 Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
Pro 7:9 At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night.
Pro 7:10 And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart;
Pro 7:11 She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house.
Pro 7:12 Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.
Pro 7:13 So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:
Pro 7:14 I have a feast of peace-offerings, for today my oaths have been effected.
Pro 7:15 So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you.
Pro 7:16 My bed is covered with cushions of needlework, with coloured cloths of the cotton thread of Egypt;
Pro 7:17 I have made my bed sweet with perfumes and spices.
Pro 7:18 Come, let us take our pleasure in love till the morning, having joy in love's delights.
Pro 7:19 For the master of the house is away on a long journey:
Pro 7:20 He has taken a bag of money with him; he is coming back at the full moon.
Pro 7:21 With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.
Pro 7:22 The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
Pro 7:23 Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.
Pro 7:24 So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;
Pro 7:25 Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps.
Pro 7:26 For those wounded and made low by her are great in number; and all those who have come to their death through her are a great army.
Pro 7:27 Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
Pro 8:1 Is not wisdom crying out, and the voice of knowledge sounding?
Pro 8:2 At the top of the highways, at the meeting of the roads, she takes her place;
Pro 8:3 Where the roads go into the town her cry goes out, at the doorways her voice is loud:
Pro 8:4 I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men.
Pro 8:5 Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.
Pro 8:6 Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.
Pro 8:7 For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me.
Pro 8:8 All the words of my mouth are righteousness; there is nothing false or twisted in them.
Pro 8:9 They are all true to him whose mind is awake, and straightforward to those who get knowledge.
Pro 8:10 Take my teaching, and not silver; get knowledge in place of the best gold.
Pro 8:11 For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.
Pro 8:12 I, wisdom, have made wise behaviour my near relation; I am seen to be the special friend of wise purposes.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me.
Pro 8:14 Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine.
Pro 8:15 Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions.
Pro 8:16 Through me chiefs have authority, and the noble ones are judging in righteousness.
Pro 8:17 Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me.
Pro 8:18 Wealth and honour are in my hands, even wealth without equal and righteousness.
Pro 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver.
Pro 8:20 I go in the road of righteousness, in the way of right judging:
Pro 8:21 So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.
Pro 8:22 The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.
Pro 8:23 From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.
Pro 8:24 When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth:
Pro 8:26 When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:
Pro 8:28 When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
Pro 8:29 When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:
Pro 8:30 Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times;
Pro 8:31 Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32 Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
Pro 8:33 Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.
Pro 8:34 Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.
Pro 8:35 For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him.
Pro 8:36 But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.
Pro 9:1 Wisdom has made her house, putting up her seven pillars.
Pro 9:2 She has put her fat beasts to death; her wine is mixed, her table is ready.
Pro 9:3 She has sent out her women-servants; her voice goes out to the highest places of the town, saying,
Pro 9:4 Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:
Pro 9:5 Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.
Pro 9:6 Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.
Pro 9:7 He who gives teaching to a man of pride gets shame for himself; he who says sharp words to a sinner gets a bad name.
Pro 9:8 Do not say sharp words to a man of pride, or he will have hate for you; make them clear to a wise man, and you will be dear to him.
Pro 9:9 Give teaching to a wise man, and he will become wiser; give training to an upright man, and his learning will be increased.
Pro 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One gives a wise mind
Pro 9:11 For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.
Pro 9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.
Pro 9:13 The foolish woman is full of noise; she has no sense at all.
Pro 9:14 Seated at the door of her house, in the high places of the town,
Pro 9:15 Crying out to those who go by, going straight on their way, she says:
Pro 9:16 Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:
Pro 9:17 Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.
Pro 9:18 But he does not see that the dead are there, that her guests are in the deep places of the underworld.
