12 The Lord praise, O Jerusalem;

Zion, thy God confess:

13 For thy gates’ bars he maketh strong;

thy sons in thee doth bless.

14 He in thy borders maketh peace;

with fine wheat filleth thee.

15 He sends forth his command on earth,

his word runs speedily.

16 Hoar-frost, like ashes, scatt’reth he;

like wool he snow doth give:

17 Like morsels casteth forth his ice;

who in its cold can live?

18 He sendeth forth his mighty word,

and melteth them again;

His wind he makes to blow, and then

the waters flow amain.

19 The doctrine of his holy word

to Jacob he doth show;

His statutes and his judgments he

gives Israel to know.

20 To any nation never he

such favor did afford;

For they his judgments have not known.

O do ye praise the Lord.

40 How often did they him provoke

within the wilderness!

And in the desert did him grieve

with their rebelliousness!

41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God,

and limits set upon

Him, who in midst of Isr’el is

the only Holy One.

42 They did not call to mind his pow’r,

nor yet the day when he

Delivered them out of the hand

of their fierce enemy;

43 Nor how great signs in Egypt land

he openly had wrought;

What miracles in Zoan’s field

his hand to pass had brought.

44 How lakes and rivers ev’ry where

he turned into blood;

So that nor man nor beast could drink

of standing lake or flood.

45 He brought among them swarms of flies,

which did them sore annoy;

And divers kinds of filthy frogs

he sent them to destroy.

16 Who will rise up for me against

those that do wickedly?

Who will stand up for me ‘gainst those

that work iniquity?

17 Unless the Lord had been my help

when I was sore oppressed,

Almost my soul had in the house

of silence been at rest.

18 When I had uttered this word,

(my foot doth slip away,)

Thy mercy held me up, O Lord,

thy goodness did me stay.

19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts

which in my heart do fight,

My soul, lest it be overcharged,

thy comforts do delight.

20 Shall of iniquity the throne

have fellowship with thee,

Which mischief, cunningly contrived,

doth by a law decree?

21 Against the righteous souls they join,

they guiltless blood condemn.

22 But of my refuge God’s the rock,

and my defense from them.

23 On them their own iniquity

the Lord shall bring and lay,

And cut them off in their own sin;

our Lord God shall them slay.

11 O children, hither do ye come,

and unto me give ear;

I shall you teach to understand

how ye the Lord should fear.

12 What man is he that life desires,

to see good would live long?

13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,

and from ill words thy tongue.

14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,

pursue it earnestly.

15 God’s eyes are on the just; his ears

are open to their cry.

16 The face of God is set against

those that do wickedly,

That he may quite out from the earth

cut off their memory.

17 The righteous cry unto the Lord,

he unto them gives ear;

And they out of their troubles all

by him delivered are.

18 The Lord is ever nigh to them

that be of broken sp’rit;

To them he safety doth afford

that are in heart contrite.

8 The Lord is very gracious,

his goodness doth declare;

And over all his other works

his tender mercies are.

10 Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord,

and thee thy saints shall bless;

11 They shall thy kingdom’s glory show,

thy pow’r by speech express:

12 To make the sons of men to know

his acts done mightily,

And of his kingdom th’ excellent

and glorious majesty.

13 Thy kingdom shall for ever stand,

thy reign through ages all.

14 God raiseth all that are bowed down,

upholdeth all that fall.

15 The eyes of all things wait on thee,

the giver of all good;

And thou, in time convenient,

bestow’st on them their food:

16 Thine hand thou open’st lib’rally,

and of thy bounty gives

Enough to satisfy the need

of ev’ry thing that lives.

1 My God, my God, why hast thou me

forsaken? why so far

Art thou from helping me, and from

my words that roaring are?

2 All day, my God, to thee I cry,

yet am not heard by thee;

And in the season of the night

I cannot silent be.

14 Like water I’m pour’d out, my bones

all out of joint do part:

Amidst my bowels, as the wax,

so melted is my heart.

15 My strength is like a potsherd dry’d;

my tongue it cleaveth fast

Unto my jaws; and to the dust

of death thou brought me hast.

16 For dogs have compass’d me about:

the wicked, that did meet

In their assembly, me inclos’d;

they pierc’d my hands and feet.

17 I all my bones may tell; they do

upon me look and stare.

18 Upon my vesture lots they cast,

and clothes among them share.

19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength;

haste to give help to me.

20 From sword my soul, from pow’r of dogs

my darling set thou free.

21 Out of the roaring lion’s mouth

do thou me shield and save:

For from the horns of unicorns

an ear to me thou gave.

9 The Lord did plant the ear of man,

and hear then shall not he?

He only formed the eye, and then

shall he not clearly see?

10 He that the nations doth correct,

shall he not chastise you?

He knowledge unto man doth teach,

and shall himself not know?

11 Man’s thoughts to be but vanity

the Lord doth well discern.

12 Blessed is the man thou chast’nest, Lord,

and mak’st thy law to learn:

13 That thou may’st give him rest from days

of sad adversity,

Until the pit be digged for those

that work iniquity.

14 For sure the Lord will not cast off

those that his people be,

Neither his own inheritance

quit and forsake will he:

15 But judgment unto righteousness

shall yet return again;

And all shall follow after it

that are right-hearted men.

10 Threescore and ten years do sum up

our days and years, we see;

Or, if, by reason of more strength,

in some fourscore they be:

Yet doth the strength of such old men

but grief and labor prove;

For it is soon cut off, and we

fly hence, and soon remove.

11 Who knows the power of thy wrath?

according to thy fear

12 So is thy wrath: Lord, teach thou us

our end in mind to bear;

And so to count our days, that we

our hearts may still apply

To learn thy wisdom and thy truth,

that we may live thereby.

13 Turn yet again to us, O Lord,

how long thus shall it be?

Let it repent thee now for those

that servants are to thee.

14 O with thy tender mercies, Lord,

us early satisfy;

So we rejoice shall all our days,

and still be glad in thee.

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

in generations all.

2 Before thou ever hadst brought forth

the mountains great or small;

Ere ever thou hadst formed the earth,

and all the world abroad;

Ev’n thou from everlasting art

to everlasting God.

3 Thou dost unto destruction

man that is mortal turn;

And unto them thou say’st, Again,

ye sons of men, return.

4 Because a thousand years appear

no more before thy sight

Than yesterday, when it is past,

or than a watch by night.

5 As with an overflowing flood

thou carry’st them away:

They like a sleep are, like the grass

that grows at morn are they.

6 At morn it flourishes and grows,

cut down at ev’n doth fade.

7 For by thine anger we’re consumed,

thy wrath makes us afraid.

10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?

11 Shall in the grave thy love be told?

in death thy faithfulness?

12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark,

or shall thy righteousness

Be known to any in the land

of deep forgetfulness?

13 But, Lord, to thee I cried; my pray’r

at morn prevent shall thee.

14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul,

and hid’st thy face from me?

15 Distressed am I, and from my youth

I ready am to die;

Thy terrors I have borne, and am

distracted fearfully.

16 The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath

quite over me doth go:

Thy terrors great have cut me off,

they did pursue me so.

17 For round about me ev’ry day,

like water, they did roll;

And, gathering together, they

have compassed my soul.

18 My friends thou hast put far from me,

and him that did me love;

And those that mine acquaintance were

to darkness didst remove.
