You carry them away as with a flood; they are like a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.

In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and withers.

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

Make us glad according to the days in which you have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

To show forth your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a melodious sound.

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed forever:

My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be healthy and flourishing;

To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.

Understand, you senseless among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?

But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.

In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of trials in the wilderness:

When your fathers tested me, tried me, and saw my work.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Unto whom I swore in my anger that they should not enter into my rest.

Honor and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the nations.

The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

The king's strength also loves justice; you do establish equity, you execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

You answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance on their wrongdoings.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

[A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and pours out his complaint before the LORD.] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto you.

Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

I am like a vulture of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.

When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: your years are throughout all generations.

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.

Bless the LORD, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:

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

You make darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay themselves down in their dens.

O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.

These all wait upon you; that you may give them their food in due season.

The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

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

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in irons:

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their country.

He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first of all their strength.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

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

Our fathers understood not your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of your mercies; but rebelled against him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.

Thus they changed their glory into the image of an ox that eats grass.

They forgot God their savior, who had done great things in Egypt;

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red sea.

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.

But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
