Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do to me?

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

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath to thy judgments at all times.

Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according to thy word.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight.

Establish thy word to thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

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

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.

Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

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

Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet I do not forget thy statutes.

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not according to thy law.

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

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

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.

I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

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

I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

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

Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

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

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

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

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

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

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments.

I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.

My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

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

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

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

For my brethren and companions' sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

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

As the mountains are round Jerusalem, so the LORD is around his people from henceforth even for ever.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

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.

The LORD hath done great things for us; of which we are glad.

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.

It is vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.

If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for ever.

Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good; sing praises to his name; for it is pleasant.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.

Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent concerning his servants.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks to the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
