For thou, LORD, art my hope; thou hast set thine house of defense very high.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy works; and I will rejoice over the operation of thy hands.

The king's power loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared equity; thou hast executed judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

and that because of thine indignation and wrath; for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down.

Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time.

Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them.

Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Thou hast appointed the moon for certain seasons, the sun knoweth his going down.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Right wisely hast thou made them all; yea, the earth is full of thy riches.

There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein.

Shalt not thou do it, O God which hast cast us out? And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

and they shall know how that this is thy hand, and that thou, LORD, hast done it.

And why? Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

I thank thee, for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

Thou hast given straight charge to keep thy commandments:

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou hast set my heart at liberty.

{Zayin} O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word, wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust.

I make haste, and prolong not the time, to keep thy commandments.

{Tet} O LORD, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant, according unto thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort, according to the promise that thou hast made unto thy servant.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies; for they are ever with me.

The testimonies that thou hast commanded are exceeding righteous and true.

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known ever since the beginning that thou hast grounded them for ever.

My lips shall speak of thy praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

O daughter of Babylon, thou shalt come to misery thyself; yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy word, according unto thy great name.

Thou hast fashioned me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

For my reins are thine, thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

O LORD. O LORD God, thou strength of my health; thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

{A Psalm of David} LORD, I call upon thee; haste thee unto me, and consider my voice, when I cry unto thee.

LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? Or the son of man, that thou so regardest him?

Thou that givest victory unto kings, and hast delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword.

For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

whereas thou hast now to give him. Intend no hurt unto thy neighbour, seeing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee.

Yea, that thou mourn not at the last, when thou hast spent thy body and goods,

My son, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, thou hast fastened thine hand with another man:

A fool uttereth his wrath in all the haste, but a discreet man forgiveth wrong.

Patience is a token of wisdom; but wrath and hasty displeasure is a token of foolishness.

for if thou hast nothing to pay, they shall take away thy bed from under thee.

Yea the morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou parbreak and loose those sweet words.

Even so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul, as soon as thou hast gotten it. And there is good hope; yea, thy hope shall not be in vain.

First, make up thy work that is without, and look well unto that which thou hast in the field, and then build thine house.

Be not hasty to go to the law, lest thou knowest not what to do when thy neighbor hath confounded thee.

He that is too hasty to praise his neighbour above measure, shall be taken as one that giveth him an evil report.

A faithful man is greatly to be commended, but he that maketh too much haste for to be rich, shall not be unguilty.

If thou seest a man that is hasty to speak unadvised; thou mayest trust a fool more than him.

Be not hasty with thy mouth,

For thine own heart knoweth, that thou thyself also hast oft times spoken evil by other men.

Keep the king's commandment, I warn thee, and the oath that thou hast made unto God.

Be not hasty to go out of his sight, and see thou continue in no evil thing: for whatsoever it pleaseth him, that doeth he.

O how fair art thou, my love, how fair art thou? Thou hast doves' eyes.

Behold, my beloved said to me: Up and haste my love, my dove, my beautiful, and come:

Up, haste my love, my dove, in the holes of the rock and secret places of the walls. Show me thy face and let me hear thy voice: for thy voice is sweet and thy fashion beautiful.

O how fair art thou, my love, how fair art thou? Thou hast doves' eyes, beside that which lieth hid within. Thy hairy locks are like the wool of a flock of goats that be shorn on Mount Gilead.

Thou hast bewitched my heart, O my sister, my spouse; thou hast bewitched my heart with one of thine eyes, and with one chain of thy neck.

But thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they go far beyond the east countries in Sorcerers - who they have as the Philistines had - and in calkers of men's births, whereof they have too many.

Yea, one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say, "Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril."

Which used to speak on this manner: "Let him make haste now, and go forth with his work, that we may see it! Let that counsel of the holy one of Israel come, and draw nigh, that we may know it!"

Moreover the LORD said unto me, "Take thee a great leaf, and write in it, as men do with a pen, 'Make hasty speed to rob, and haste to the spoil.'"

So that then thou shalt say, "I will praise thee O LORD, that though thou were angry with me, yet thine anger is turned, and thou hast comforted me.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, thou fair morning child! How hast thou gotten a fall, even to the ground; thou that didst subdue the people?

and art not buried with them. Even because that thou hast wasted thy land, and destroyed thy people. For the generation of the wicked shall be without honour, forever.

And in mercy shall the throne be prepared, and he shall sit upon it in the truth, in the tabernacle of David: judging, and seeking judgment, and making haste unto righteousness.

So shalt thou, O Damascus, be desolate: because thou hast forgotten God thy Saviour, and hast not called to remembrance the rock of thy strength. Wherefore thou hast also set a fair plant, and grafted a strange branch.

The heavy burden of Dumah. He calleth unto me, out of of Seir, "Watchman, what hast thou espied by night? Watchman, what hast thou espied by night?"

The burden of the valley of visions. What hast thou to do here, that thou climbest unto the house tops,

'What hast thou here to do? And whom hast thou here? That thou shouldest here hew thee out a sepulchre, as it were one that causeth a costly tomb of stone to be made for himself, or that graveth a habitation out of a rock?

Go through thy land, O thou daughter of the sea, as men go over the water; for thou hast no more strength.

And thou, which art the doer and hast the matter in hand: shall provide for peace, even the peace that men hope for in thee.

Moreover, the noise of thy enemies shall be like thin dust, and the multitude of tyrants shall be as the dry straw that cannot tarry: even suddenly and in haste shall their blast go.

Thou thinkest, peradventure, that thou hast counsel and power enough to maintain this war: or else whereto trustest thou, that thou castest thyself off from me?

and Isaiah gave them this answer, "Say thus unto your lord, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the king of the Assyrians' servants have blasphemed me.

"O LORD of Hosts, thou God of Israel, which dwellest upon Cherubim; Thou art the God, that only is God of all the kingdoms of the world, for thou only hast created heaven and earth.

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'Whereas thou hast made thy prayer unto me, as touching Sennacherib,

But thou Sennacherib, whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and exalted thy proud looks? Even against the holy one of Israel.

Thou with thy servants hast blasphemed the LORD and thus holdest thou of thyself, I cover the high mountains, and sides of Lebanon with my horsemen. And there will I cut down the high Cedar trees and the fairest Fir trees. I will up into the height of it, and into the chiefest of his timber woods.

Yea, sayest thou, hast thou not heard what I have taken in hand, and brought to pass of old time? That same will I do now also: waste, destroy, and bring the strong cities into heaps of stones.

O LORD, men may live beyond their years, and I will declare to all men that even in those years, it was thou that causedest me to sleep, and again thou hast given me life.

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, "Good is the word of God which thou hast told me." He said moreover, "For there shall be peace and faithfulness in my time."

Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD which made all the corners of the earth, is neither weary nor faint: and that his wisdom cannot be comprehended?

He shall neither be overseen nor hasty, that he may restore righteousness unto the earth: and the Gentiles also shall keep his laws.

But thou hast laden me with thy sins, and wearied me with thine ungodliness.

Put me now in remembrance, for we will reason together, and show what thou hast for thee, to make thee righteous.

And thou thoughtest thus, "I shall be lady forever." And beside all that, thou hast not regarded these things, neither cast, what should come after.

For thou hast comforted thyself in thy deceitfulness, and hast said, "No man seeth me." Thine own wisdom and cunning hath deceived thee, in that thou hast said, "I am alone, and without me there is none."

Now go to thy conjurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, whom thou hast been acquainted with from thy youth, if they may help thee, or strengthen thee.

Thou hast hitherto had many counsels of them; so let the heaven gazers and the beholders of stars come on now and deliver thee: yea, and let them show when these new things shall come upon thee.

Even so shall they be unto thee whom thou hast used and occupied from thy youth. Every one shall show thee his erroneous way, yet shall none of them defend thee.

Moreover, there be some whereof thou hast neither heard nor know, neither have they been open unto thine ears afore time. For I know that thou wouldest maliciously offend, therefore have I called thee a transgressor, even from thy mother's womb.

They that have broken thee down, shall make haste to build thee up again: and they that made thee waste, shall dwell in thee.

Art not thou he, that hast wounded that proud Egypt, and hewn the dragon in pieces? Art not thou even he, which hast dried up the deep of the sea, which hast made plain the sea ground, that the delivered might go through?

It cometh on fast, it maketh haste to appear: It shall not perish, that it should not be able to destroy, neither shall it fail for fault of nourishing.

Awake, awake, and stand up, O Jerusalem: thou that from the hand of the LORD, hast drunken out the cup of his wrath; thou that hast supped of and sucked out the slumbering cup to the bottom.

For among all the sons whom thou hast begotten, there is not one that may hold thee up: and not one to lead thee by the hand, of all the sons that thou hast nourished.

But ye shall not go out with sedition nor make haste as they that flee away: for the LORD shall go before you, and the God of Israel shall keep the watch.
