Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

{Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.} I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

{A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.} It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

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

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

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

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

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:

Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

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

Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

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

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

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.

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

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

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

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

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

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

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.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

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

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

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

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

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

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

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

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

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.

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

To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

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

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

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!

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

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 in great waters;

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

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

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.

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

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