And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

I became also a reproach to them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

They encompassed me; yes, they encompassed me: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all are thy servants.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they are ever with me.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD, shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

Neither do they who go by, say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not.

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them are like them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thy enemies take thy name in vain.

Who imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they assembled for war.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's poison is under their lips. Selah.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. Selah.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not again.

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way in which I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

For they shalt be an ornament of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

None that go to her return again, neither do they take hold of the paths of life.

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

So shall they be life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keepest them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful food.

Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven.

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

They have stricken me, wilt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
