1
Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
4 I
2
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3
Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
9 I
Psalm 138
1
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
9 I
2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
14 I
3
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
17 I
4
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
2 I
5
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 I
6
Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
5 I
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 I
8
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
13 I
Psalm 139
1
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
4 I
2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
6 I
3
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
6 I
4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 I
5
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
9 I
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
4 I
7
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
11 I
8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
5 I
9
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
7 I
10
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
5 I
11
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
2 I
12
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
2 I
13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
21 I
15
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
5 I
16
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
3 I
17
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
6 I
18
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
4 I
19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21
Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
27 I
24
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
29 I
Psalm 143
1
Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
6 I
2
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
4 I
3
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
6 I
7
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
13 I
9
Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
5 I
10
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
12 I
11
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Psalm 144
1
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
11 I
3
Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
9 I
4
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
7 I
5
Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7
Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
2 I
10
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13
That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14
That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
6 I
Psalm 145
1
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
6 I
2
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
6 I
3
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
10 I
4
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
4 I
5
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 I
6
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
2 I
7
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
12 I
8
The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
41 I
9
The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
8 I
10
All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.
32 I
11
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
2 I
12
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
2 I
13
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
2 I
14
The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
7 I
15
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
12 I
16
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
6 I
17
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
2 I
18
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
28 I
19
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
14 I
20
The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
20 I
21
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
