Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which thou hast made to play therein.

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their food in due season.

That which thou givest them, they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Remember his wonderful works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that thou bearest to thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thy inheritance.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for ever.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captives.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves of the sea are still.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers spoil his labor.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

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

For he will stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

The works of the LORD are great, sought out by all them that have pleasure in them.

He hath given food to them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

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.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

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

Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

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 taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

Thou hast violently thrust at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

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

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

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

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, who do err from thy commandments.

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

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

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

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

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

JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

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

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

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

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

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

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

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

My eyes anticipated the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

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.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

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

A Song of degrees. To thee I raise my eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
