ch107 ¹O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. ²Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; ³And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. ⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. ⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. ⁶Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses. ⁷And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. ⁸Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! ⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. ¹⁰Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron; ¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: ¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and [there was] none to help. ¹³Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses. ¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. ¹⁵Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! ¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. ¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. ¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. ¹⁹Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses. ²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions. ²¹Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! ²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. ²³They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; ²⁴These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. ²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. ²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. ²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. ²⁸Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. ²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. ³⁰Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. ³¹Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! ³²Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. ³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; ³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. ³⁵He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. ³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; ³⁷And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. ³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. ³⁹Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. ⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way. ⁴¹Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock. ⁴²The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. ⁴³Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

ch108 ¹{A Song [or] Psalm of David.} O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. ²Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early. ³I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. ⁴For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds. ⁵Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; ⁶That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me. ⁷God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. ⁸Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; ⁹Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. ¹⁰Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? ¹¹[Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? ¹²Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. ¹³Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.

ch109 ¹{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; ²For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. ³They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. ⁴For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer. ⁵And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. ⁶Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. ⁷When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. ⁸Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office. ⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places. ¹¹Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. ¹²Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. ¹³Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. ¹⁶Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. ¹⁷As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. ¹⁸As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. ²⁰Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. ²¹But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me. ²²For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. ²³I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. ²⁴My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. ²⁵I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads. ²⁶Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: ²⁷That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it. ²⁸Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. ²⁹Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. ³⁰I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. ³¹For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.

ch110 ¹{A Psalm of David.} The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ²The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. ⁴The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. ⁷He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

ch111 ¹Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation. ²The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. ³His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. ⁴He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion. ⁵He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. ⁶He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. ⁷The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure. ⁸They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and uprightness. ⁹He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name. ¹⁰The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

ch112 ¹Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments. ²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. ³Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. ⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. ⁵A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. ⁶Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. ⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. ⁸His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies. ⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. ¹⁰The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

ch113 ¹Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. ²Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. ³From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised. ⁴The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens. ⁵Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, ⁶Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth! ⁷He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; ⁸That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people. ⁹He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

ch114 ¹When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; ²Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion. ³The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back. ⁴The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs. ⁵What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back? ⁶Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs? ⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; ⁸Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

ch115 ¹Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake. ²Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God? ³But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. ⁴Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ⁵They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: ⁶They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: ⁷They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. ⁸They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one that trusteth in them. ⁹O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. ¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. ¹¹Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help and their shield. ¹²The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. ¹³He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great. ¹⁴The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. ¹⁵Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. ¹⁶The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. ¹⁷The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. ¹⁸But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

ch116 ¹I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications. ²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live. ³The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful. ⁶The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. ⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. ⁹I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁰I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ¹¹I said in my haste, All men [are] liars. ¹²What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? ¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁴I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. ¹⁶O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. ¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁸I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

ch117 ¹O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. ²For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

ch118 ¹O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever. ²Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. ³Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. ⁴Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. ⁵I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and set me] in a large place. ⁶The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? ⁷The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me. ⁸It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. ⁹It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. ¹⁰All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. ¹¹They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹²They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹³Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. ¹⁴The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation. ¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. ¹⁶The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. ¹⁷I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. ¹⁸The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. ¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, [and] I will praise the LORD: ²⁰This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. ²¹I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. ²²The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. ²³This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes. ²⁴This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ²⁵Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. ²⁶Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. ²⁷God [is] the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar. ²⁸Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my God, I will exalt thee. ²⁹O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
