THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER
Preface to the King James Version of 1611
THE BEST THINGS HAVE BEEN CULMINATED
Zeal to promote the common good, whether it be by devising anything ourselves, or revising that which hath been laboured
by others, deserveth certainly much respect and esteem, but yet findeth but cold entertainment in the world. It is welcomed
with suspicion instead of love, and with emulation instead of thanks: and if there be any hole left for cavil to enter, (and
cavil, if it do not find a hole, will make one) it is sure to be misconstrued, and in danger to be condemned. This will easily
be granted by as many as know story, or have any experience. For, was there ever any-projected, that savoured any way of
newness or renewing, but the same endured many a storm of gainsaying, or opposition? A man would think that Civility,
wholesome Laws, learning and eloquence, Synods, and Church-maintenance, (that we speak of no more things of this kind)
should be as safe as a Sanctuary, and out of shot, as they say, that no man would lift up the heel, no, nor dog move his
tongue against the motioners of them. For by the first, we are distinguished from brute beasts lead with sensuality; By the
second, we are bridled and restrained from outrageous behaviour, and from doing of injuries, whether by fraud or by
violence; By the third, we are enabled to inform and reform others, by the light and feeling that we have attained unto
ourselves; Briefly, by the fourth being brought together to a parley face to face, we sooner compose our differences than by
writings which are endless; And lastly, that the Church be sufficiently provided for, is so agreeable to good reason and
conscience, that those mothers are holden to be less cruel, that kill their children as soon as they are born, than those nursing
fathers and mothers (wheresoever they be) that withdraw from them who hang upon their breasts (and upon whose breasts
again themselves do hang to receive the Spiritual and sincere milk of the word) livelihood and support fit for their estates.
Thus it is apparent, that these things which we speak of, are of most necessary use, and therefore, that none, either without
absurdity can speak against them, or without note of wickedness can spurn against them.
Yet for all that, the learned know that certain worthy men [Anacharsis with others] have been brought to untimely death for
none other fault, but for seeking to reduce their Countrymen to god order and discipline; and that in some Commonwealths
[e.g. Locri] it was made a capital crime, once to motion the making of a new Law for the abrogating of an old, though the
same were most pernicious; And that certain [Cato the elder], which would be counted pillars of the State, and patterns of
Virtue and Prudence, could not be brought for a long time to give way to good Letters and refined speech, but bare
themselves as averse from them, as from rocks or boxes of poison; And fourthly, that he was no babe, but a great clerk
[Gregory the Divine], that gave forth (and in writing to remain to posterity) in passion peradventure, but yet he gave forth,
that he had not seen any profit to come by any Synod, or meeting of the Clergy, but rather the contrary; And lastly, against
Church-maintenance and allowance, in such sort, as the Ambassadors and messengers of the great King of Kings should be
furnished, it is not unknown what a fiction or fable (so it is esteemed, and for no better by the reporter himself [Nauclerus],
though superstitious) was devised; Namely, that at such a time as the professors and teachers of Christianity in the Church of
Rome, then a true Church, were liberally endowed, a voice forsooth was heard from heaven, saying: Now is poison poured
down into the Church, etc. Thus not only as oft as we speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we do anything of note or
consequence, we subject ourselves to everyone’s censure, and happy is he that is least tossed upon tongues; for utterly to
escape the snatch of them it is impossible. If any man conceit, that this is the lot and portion of the meaner sort only, and
that Princes are privileged by their high estate, he is deceived. "As the sword devoureth as well one as the other," as it is in
Samuel [2 Sam 11:25], nay as the great Commander charged his soldiers in a certain battle, to strike at no part of the enemy,
but at the face; And as the King of Syria commanded his chief Captains to "fight neither with small nor great, save only
against the King of Israel:" [1 Kings 22:31] so it is too true, that Envy striketh most spitefully at the fairest, and at the
chiefest. David was a worthy Prince, and no man to be compared to him for his first deeds, and yet for as worthy as act as
ever he did (even for bringing back the Ark of God in solemnity) he was scorned and scoffed at by his own wife [2 Sam
6:16]. Solomon was greater than David, though not in virtue, yet in power: and by his power and wisdom he built a Temple
to the Lord, such a one as was the glory of the land of Israel, and the wonder of the whole world. But was that his
magnificence liked of by all? We doubt it. Otherwise, why do they lay it in his son’s dish, and call unto him for easing the
burden, "Make", say they, "the grievous servitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, lighter?" [1 Kings 12:4] Belike he had
charged them with some levies, and troubled them with some carriages; Hereupon they raise up a tragedy, and wish in their
heart the Temple had never been built. So hard a thing it is to please all, even when we please God best, and do seek to
approve ourselves to every ones conscience.
If we will descend to later times, we shall find many the like examples of such kind, or rather unkind acceptance. The first
Roman Emperor [C. Caesar. Plutarch] did never do a more pleasing deed to the learned, nor more profitable to posterity, for
conserving the record of times in true supputation; than when he corrected the Calendar, and ordered the year according to
the course of the Sun; and yet this was imputed to him for novelty, and arrogance, and procured to him great obloguy. So
the first Christened Emperor [Constantine] (at the least-wise that openly professed the faith himself, and allowed others to do
the like) for strengthening the Empire at his great charges, and providing for the Church, as he did, got for his labour the
name Pupillus, as who would say, a wasteful Prince, that had need of a Guardian or overseer [Aurel. Victor]. So the best
Christened Emperor [Theodosius], for the love that he bare unto peace, thereby to enrich both himself and his subjects, and
because he did not see war but find it, was judged to be no man at arms [Zosimus], (though indeed he excelled in feats of
chivalry, and showed so much when he was provoked) and condemned for giving himself to his ease, and to his pleasure. To
be short, the most learned Emperor of former times [Justinian], (at the least, the greatest politician) what thanks had he for
cutting off the superfluities of the laws, and digesting them into some order and method? This, that he had been blotted by
some to be an Epitomist, that is, one that extinguishes worthy whole volumes, to bring his abridgments into request. This is
the measure that hath been rendered to excellent Princes in former times, even, Cum bene facerent, male audire, For their
good deeds to be evil spoken of. Neither is there any likelihood, that envy and malignity died, and were buried with the
ancient. No, no, the reproof of Moses taketh hold of most ages; "You are risen up in your fathers’ stead, and increase of
sinful men." [Num 32:14] "What is that that hath been done? that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the
Sun," saith the wiseman: [Ecc 1:9] and S. Stephen, "As your fathers did, so do you." [Acts 7:51]
HIS MAJESTY’S CONSTANCY, NOTWITHSTANDING CULMINATION, FOR THE SURVEY OF THE ENGLISH
TRANSLATIONS
This, and more to this purpose, His Majesty that now reigneth (and long, and long may he reign, and his offspring forever,
"Himself and children, and children’s always) knew full well, according to the singular wisdom given unto him by God, and
the rare learning and experience that he hath attained unto; namely that whosoever attempteth anything for the public
(especially if it pertain to Religion, and to the opening and clearing of the word of God) the same setteth himself upon a
stage to be gloated upon by every evil eye, yea, he casteth himself headlong upon pikes, to be gored by every sharp tongue.
For he that medleth with men’s Religion in any part, medleth with their custom, nay, with their freehold; and though they
find no content in that which they have, yet they cannot abide to hear of altering. Notwithstanding his Royal heart was not
daunted or discouraged for this that colour, but stood resolute, "as a statue immovable, and an anvil not easy to be beaten
into plates," as one [Suidas] saith; he knew who had chosen him to be a Soldier, or rather a Captain, and being assured that
the course which he intended made for the glory of God, and the building up of his Church, he would not suffer it to be
broken off for whatsoever speeches or practices.
It doth certainly belong unto Kings, yea, it doth specially belong unto them, to have care of Religion, yea, it doth specially
belong unto them, to have care of Religion, yea, to know it aright, yea, to profess it zealously, yea to promote it to the
uttermost of their power. This is their glory before all nations which mean well, and this will bring unto them a far most
excellent weight of glory in the day of the Lord Jesus. For the Scripture saith not in vain, "Them that honor me, I will
honor," [1 Sam 2:30] neither was it a vain word that Eusebius delivered long ago, that piety towards God was the weapon
and the only weapon, that both preserved Constantine’s person, and avenged him of his enemies [Eusebius lib 10 cap 8].
THE PRAISE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
But now what piety without truth? what truth (what saving truth) without the word of God? What word of God (whereof we
may be sure) without the Scripture? The Scriptures we are commanded to search. John 5:39. Isa 8:20. They are commended
that searched and studied them. Acts 17:11 and 8:28,29. They are reproved that were unskillful in them, or slow to believe
them. Matt 22:29. Luke 24:25. They can make us wise unto salvation. 2 Tim 3:15. If we be ignorant, they will instruct us;
if out of the way, they will bring us home; if out of order, they will reform us; if in heaviness, comfort us; if dull, quicken us;
if cold, inflame us.
Tolle, lege; Tolle, lege, Take up and read, take up and read the Scriptures [S. August. confess. lib 8 cap 12], (for unto them
was the direction) it was said unto S. Augustine by a supernatural voice. "Whatsoever is in the Scriptures, believe me," saith
the same S. Augustine, "is high and divine; there is verily truth, and a doctrine most fit for the refreshing of men’s minds,
and truly so tempered, that everyone may draw from thence that which is sufficient for him, if he come to draw with a
devout and pious mind, as true Religion requireth." [S. August. de utilitcredendi cap. 6] Thus S. Augustine. and S. Jerome:
"Ama scripturas, et amabit te sapientia etc." [S. Jerome. ad Demetriad] Love the Scriptures, and wisdom will love thee.
And S. Cyril against Julian; "Even boys that are bred up in the Scriptures, become most religious, etc. [S. Cyril. 7 contra
Iulianum] But what mention we three or four uses of the Scripture, whereas whatsoever is to be believed or practiced, or
hoped for, is contained in them? or three or four sentences of the Fathers, since whosoever is worthy the name of a Father,
from Christ’s time downward, hath likewise written not only of the riches, but also of the perfection of the Scripture? "I
adore the fulness of the Scripture," saith Tertullian against Hermogenes. [Tertul. advers. Hermo.] And again, to Apelles an
heretic of the like stamp, he saith; "I do not admit that which thou bringest in (or concludest) of thine own (head or store, de
tuo) without Scripture." [Tertul. de carne Christi.] So Saint Justin Martyr before him; "We must know by all means," saith
he, "that it is not lawful (or possible) to learn (anything) of God or of right piety, save only out of the Prophets, who teach us
by divine inspiration." So Saint Basil after Tertullian, "It is a manifest falling way from the Faith, and a fault of presumption,
either to reject any of those things that are written, or to bring in (upon the head of them) any of those things that are not
written. We omit to cite to the same effect, S. Cyril B. of Jerusalem in his 4::Cataches., Saint Jerome against Helvidius,
Saint Augustine in his 3::book against the letters of Petilian, and in very many other places of his works. Also we forebear
to descend to later Fathers, because we will not weary the reader. The Scriptures then being acknowledged to be so full and
so perfect, how can we excuse ourselves of negligence, if we do not study them, of curiosity, if we be not content with them?
Men talk much of [an olive bow wrapped about with wood, whereupon did hang figs, and bread, honey in a pot, and oil],
how many sweet and goodly things it had hanging on it; of the Philosopher’s stone, that it turned copper into gold; of
Cornucopia, that it had all things necessary for food in it, of Panaces the herb, that it was good for diseases, of Catholicon the
drug, that it is instead of all purges; of Vulcan’s armor, that it was an armor of proof against all thrusts, and all blows, etc.
Well, that which they falsely or vainly attributed to these things for bodily god, we may justly and with full measure ascribe
unto the Scripture, for spiritual. It is not only an armor, but also a whole armory of weapons, both offensive and defensive;
whereby we may save ourselves and put the enemy to flight. It is not an herb, but a tree, or rather a whole paradise of trees
of life, which bring forth fruit every month, and the fruit thereof is for meat, and the leaves for medicine. It is not a pot of
Manna, or a cruse of oil, which were for memory only, or for a meal’s meat or two, but as it were a shower of heavenly
bread sufficient for a whole host, be it never so great; and as it were a whole cellar full of oil vessels; whereby all our
necessities may be provided for, and our debts discharged. In a word, it is a Panary of wholesome food, against fenowed
traditions; a Physician’s shop (Saint Basil called it) [S. Basil in Psal. primum.] of preservatives against poisoned heresies; a
Pandect of profitable laws, against rebellious spirits; a treasury of most costly jewels, against beggarly rudiments; finally a
fountain of most pure water springing up unto everlasting life. And what marvel? The original thereof being from heaven,
not from earth; the author being God, not man; the inditer, the holy spirit, not the wit of the Apostles or Prophets; the
Penmen such as were sanctified from the womb, and endued with a principal portion of God’s spirit; the matter, verity, piety,
purity, uprightness; the form, God’s word, God’s testimony, God’s oracles, the word of truth, the word of salvation, etc.; the
effects, light of understanding, stableness of persuasion, repentance from dead works, newness of life, holiness, peace, joy in
the holy Ghost; lastly, the end and reward of the study thereof, fellowship with the Saints, participation of the heavenly
nature, fruition of an inheritance immortal, undefiled, and that never shall fade away: Happy is the man that delighted in the
Scripture, and thrice happy that meditateth in it day and night.
TRANSLATION NECESSARY
But how shall men meditate in that, which they cannot understand? How shall they understand that which is kept close in an
unknown tongue? as it is written, "Except I know the power of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he
that speaketh, shall be a Barbarian to me." [1 Cor 14] The Apostle excepteth no tongue; not Hebrew the ancientest, not
Greek the most copious, not Latin the finest. Nature taught a natural man to confess, that all of us in those tongues which we
do not understand, are plainly deaf; we may turn the deaf ear unto them.
The Scythian counted the Athenian, whom he did not understand, barbarous; [Clem. Alex. 1 Strom.] so the Roman did the
Syrian, and the Jew (even S. Jerome himself called the Hebrew tongue barbarous, belike because it was strange to so many)
[S. Jerome. Damaso.] so the Emperor of Constantinople [Michael, Theophili fil.] calleth the Latin tongue, barbarous, though
Pope Nicolas do storm at it: [2::Tom. Concil. ex edit. Petri Crab] so the Jews long before Christ called all other nations,
Lognazim, which is little better than barbarous. Therefore as one complaineth, that always in the Senate of Rome, there was
one or other that called for an interpreter: [Cicero 5::de finibus.] so lest the Church be driven to the like exigent, it is
necessary to have translations in a readiness. Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the
shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we may look into the most Holy place; that removeth the
cover of the well, that we may come by the water, even as Jacob rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, by which
means the flocks of Laban were watered [Gen 29:10]. Indeed without translation into the vulgar tongue, the unlearned are
but like children at Jacob’s well (which is deep) [John 4:11] without a bucket or something to draw with; or as that person
mentioned by Isaiah, to whom when a sealed book was delivered, with this motion, "Read this, I pray thee," he was fain to
make this answer, "I cannot, for it is sealed." [Isa 29:11]
THE TRANSLATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT OUT OF THE HEBREW INTO GREEK
While God would be known only in Jacob, and have his Name great in Israel, and in none other place, while the dew lay on
Gideon’s fleece only, and all the earth besides was dry; then for one and the same people, which spake all of them the
language of Canaan, that is, Hebrew, one and the same original in Hebrew was sufficient. [S. August. lib 12 contra Faust
c32] But, when the fulness of time drew near, that the Sun of righteousness, the Son of God should come into the world,
whom God ordained to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood, not of the Jew only, but also of the Greek, yea, of all
them that were scattered abroad; then lo, it pleased the Lord to stir up the spirit of a Greek Prince (Greek for descent and
language) even of Ptolemy Philadelph King of Egypt, to procure the translating of the Book of God out of Hebrew into
Greek. This is the translation of the Seventy Interpreters, commonly so called, which prepared the way for our Saviour
among the Gentiles by written preaching, as Saint John Baptist did among the Jews by vocal. For the Grecians being
desirous of learning, were not wont to suffer books of worth to lie moulding in Kings’ libraries, but had many of their
servants, ready scribes, to copy them out, and so they were dispersed and made common. Again, the Greek tongue was well
known and made familiar to most inhabitants in Asia, by reason of the conquest that there the Grecians had made, as also by
the Colonies, which thither they had sent. For the same causes also it was well understood in many places of Europe, yea,
and of Africa too. Therefore the word of God being set forth in Greek, becometh hereby like a candle set upon a candlestick,
which giveth light to all that are in the house, or like a proclamation sounded forth in the market place, which most men
presently take knowledge of; and therefore that language was fittest to contain the Scriptures, both for the first Preachers of
the Gospel to appeal unto for witness, and for the learners also of those times to make search and trial by. It is certain, that
that Translation was not so sound and so perfect, but it needed in many places correction; and who had been so sufficient for
this work as the Apostles or Apostolic men? Yet it seemed good to the holy Ghost and to them, to take that which they
found, (the same being for the greatest part true and sufficient) rather than making a new, in that new world and green age of
the Church, to expose themselves to many exceptions and cavillations, as though they made a Translations to serve their own
turn, and therefore bearing a witness to themselves, their witness not to be regarded. This may be supposed to be some
cause, why the Translation of the Seventy was allowed to pass for current. Notwithstanding, though it was commended
generally, yet it did not fully content the learned, no not of the Jews. For not long after Christ, Aquila fell in hand with a
new Translation, and after him Theodotion, and after him Symmachus; yea, there was a fifth and a sixth edition, the Authors
whereof were not known. [Epiphan. de mensur. et ponderibus.] These with the Seventy made up the Hexapla and were
worthily and to great purpose compiled together by Origen. Howbeit the Edition of the Seventy went away with the credit,
and therefore not only was placed in the midst by Origen (for the worth and excellency thereof above the rest, as Epiphanius
gathered) but also was used by the Greek fathers for the ground and foundation of their Commentaries. Yea, Epiphanius
above named doeth attribute so much unto it, that he holdeth the Authors thereof not only for Interpreters, but also for
Prophets in some respect [S. August. 2::de dectrin. Christian c. 15]; and Justinian the Emperor enjoining the Jews his
subjects to use especially the Translation of the Seventy, rendreth this reason thereof, because they were as it were
enlightened with prophetical grace. Yet for all that, as the Egyptians are said of the Prophet to be men and not God, and
their horses flesh and not spirit [Isa 31:3]; so it is evident, (and Saint Jerome affirmeth as much) [S. Jerome. de optimo
genere interpret.] that the Seventy were Interpreters, they were not Prophets; they did many things well, as learned men; but
yet as men they stumbled and fell, one while through oversight, another while through ignorance, yea, sometimes they may
be noted to add to the Original, and sometimes to take from it; which made the Apostles to leave them many times, when
they left the Hebrew, and to deliver the sense thereof according to the truth of the word, as the spirit gave them utterance.
This may suffice touching the Greek Translations of the Old Testament.
TRANSLATION OUT OF HEBREW AND GREEK INTO LATIN
There were also within a few hundred years after CHRIST, translations many into the Latin tongue: for this tongue also was
very fit to convey the Law and the Gospel by, because in those times very many Countries of the West, yea of the South,
East and North, spake or understood Latin, being made Provinces to the Romans. But now the Latin Translations were too
many to be all good, for they were infinite (Latini Interprets nullo modo numerari possunt, saith S. Augustine.) [S. Augustin.
de doctr. Christ. lib 2 cap II]. Again they were not out of the Hebrew fountain (we speak of the Latin Translations of the Old
Testament) but out of the Greek stream, therefore the Greek being not altogether clear, the Latin derived from it must needs
be muddy. This moved S. Jerome a most learned father, and the best linguist without controversy, of his age, or of any that
went before him, to undertake the translating of the Old Testament, out of the very fountain with that evidence of great
learning, judgment, industry, and faithfulness, that he had forever bound the Church unto him, in a debt of special
remembrance and thankfulness.
THE TRANSLATING OF THE SCRIPTURE INTO THE VULGAR TONGUES
Now through the Church were thus furnished with Greek and Latin Translations, even before the faith of CHRIST was
generally embraced in the Empire; (for the learned know that even in S. Jerome’s time, the Consul of Rome and his wife
were both Ethnics, and about the same time the greatest part of the Senate also) [S. Jerome. Marcell.Zosim] yet for all that
the godly-learned were not content to have the Scriptures in the Language which they themselves understood, Greek and
Latin, (as the good Lepers were not content to fare well themselves, but acquainted their neighbors with the store that God
had sent, that they also might provide for themselves) [2 Kings 7:9] but also for the behoof and edifying of the unlearned
which hungered and thirsted after righteousness, and had souls to be saved as well as they, they provided Translations into
the vulgar for their Countrymen, insomuch that most nations under heaven did shortly after their conversion, hear CHRIST
speaking unto them in their mother tongue, not by the voice of their Minister only, but also by the written word translated. If
any doubt hereof, he may be satisfied by examples enough, if enough will serve the turn. First S. Jerome saith, Multarum
gentium linguis Scriptura ante translata, docet falsa esse quae addita sunt, etc. i.e. "The Scripture being translated before in
the languages of many Nations, doth show that those things that were added (by Lucian and Hesychius) are false." [S.
Jerome. praef. in 4::Evangel.] So S. Jerome in that place. The same Jerome elsewhere affirmeth that he, the time was, had
set forth the translation of the Seventy suae linguae hominibus, i.e., for his countrymen of Dalmatia [S. Jerome. Sophronio.]
Which words not only Erasmus doth understand to purport, that S. Jerome translated the Scripture into the Dalmatian tongue,
but also Sixtus Senensis [Six. Sen. lib 4], and Alphonsus a‘ Castro [Alphon. lb 1 ca 23] (that we speak of no more) men not
to be excepted against by them of Rome, do ingenuously confess as much. So, S. Chrysostom that lived in S. Jerome’s time,
giveth evidence with him: "The doctrine of S. John [saith he] did not in such sort [as the Philosophers’ did] vanish away: but
the Syrians, Egyptians, Indians, Persians, Ethiopians, and infinite other nations being barbarous people translated it into their
[mother] tongue, and have learned to be [true] Philosophers," he meaneth Christians. [S. Chrysost. in Johan. cap.I. hom.I.]
To this may be added Theodoret, as next unto him, both for antiquity, and for learning.
His words be these, "Every Country that is under the Sun, is full of these words (of the Apostles and Prophets) and the
Hebrew tongue [he meaneth the Scriptures in the Hebrew tongue] is turned not only into the Language of the Grecians, but
also of the Romans, and Egyptians, and Persians, and Indians, and Armenians, and Scythians, and Sauromatians, and briefly
into all the Languages that any Nation useth. [Theodor. 5. Therapeut.] So he. In like manner, Ulfilas is reported by Paulus
Diaconus and Isidor (and before them by Sozomen) to have translated the Scriptures into the Gothic tongue: [P. Diacon. li.
12.] John Bishop of Sevil by Vasseus, to have turned them into Arabic, about the year of our Lord 717; [Vaseus in Chron.
Hispan.] Bede by Cistertiensis, to have turned a great part of them into Saxon: Efnard by Trithemius, to have abridged the
French Psalter, as Beded had done the Hebrew, about the year 800: King Alfred by the said Cistertiensis, to have turned the
Psalter into Saxon: [Polydor. Virg. 5 histor.] Methodius by Aventinus (printed at Ingolstadt) to have turned the Scriptures
into Slavonian: [Aventin. lib. 4.] Valdo, Bishop of Frising by Beatus Rhenanus, to have caused about that time, the Gospels
to be translated into Dutch rhythm, yet extant in the Library of Corbinian: [Circa annum 900. B. Rhenan. rerum German. lib
2.] Valdus, by divers to have turned them himself into French, about the year 1160: Charles the Fifth of that name,
surnamed the Wise, to have caused them to be turned into French, about 200 years after Valdus his time, of which translation
there be many copies yet extant, as witnesseth Beroaldus. Much about that time, even in our King Richard the second’s
days, John Trevisa translated them into English, and many English Bibles in written hand are yet to be seen with divers,
translated as it is very probable, in that age. So the Syrian translation of the New Testament is in most learned men’s
Libraries, of Widminstadius his setting forth, and the Psalter in Arabic is with many, of Augustinus Nebiensis’ setting forth.
So Postel affirmeth, that in his travel he saw the Gospels in the Ethiopian tongue; And Ambrose Thesius allegeth the Pslater
of the Indians, which he testifieth to have been set forth by Potken in Syrian characters. So that, to have the Scriptures in the
mother tongue is not a quaint conceit lately taken up, either by the Lord Cromwell in England, [Thuan.] or by the Lord
Radevile in Polony, or by the Lord Ungnadius in the Emperor’s dominion, but hath been thought upon, and put in practice of
old, even from the first times of the conversion of any Nation; no doubt, because it was esteemed most profitable, to cause
faith to grow in men’s hearts the sooner, and to make them to be able to say with the words of the Psalms, "As we have
heard, so we have seen." [Ps 48:8]
THE UNWILLINGNESS OF OUR CHIEF ADVERSARIES, THAT THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD BE DIVULGED IN
THE MOTHER TONGUE, ETC.
Now the Church of Rome would seem at the length to bear a motherly affection towards her children, and to allow them the
Scriptures in their mother tongue: but indeed it is a gift, not deserving to be called a gift, an unprofitable gift: [Sophecles]
they must first get a licence in writing before they may use them, and to get that, they must approve themselves to their
Confessor, that is, to be such as are, if not frozen in the dregs, yet soured with the leaven of their superstition. Howbeit, it
seemed too much to Clement the Eighth that there should be any Licence granted to have them in the vulgar tongue, and
therefore he overruleth and frustrateth the grant of Pius the Fourth. [See the observation (set forth by Clemen. His authority)
upon the 4. rule of Pius the 4. his making in the index, lib. prohib. pag. 15. ver. 5.] So much are they afraid of the light of
the Scripture, (Lucifugae Scripturarum, as Tertulian speaketh) that they will not trust the people with it, no not as it is set
forth by their own sworn men, no not with the Licence of their own Bishops and Inquisitors. Yea, so unwilling they are to
communicate the Scriptures to the people’s understanding in any sort, that they are not ashamed to confess, that we forced
them to translate it into English against their wills. This seemeth to argue a bad cause, or a bad conscience, or both.
Sure we are, that it is not he that hath good gold, that is afraid to bring it to the touchstone, but he that hath the counterfeit;
[Tertul. de resur. carnis.] neither is it the true man that shunneth the light, but the malefactor, lest his deeds should be
reproved [John 3:20]: neither is it the plaindealing Merchant that is unwilling to have the weights, or the meteyard brought in
place, but he that useth deceit. But we will let them alone for this fault, and return to translation.
THE SPEECHES AND REASONS, BOTH OF OUR BRETHREN, AND OF OUR ADVERSARIES AGAINST THIS
WORK
Many men’s mouths have been open a good while (and yet are not stopped) with speeches about the Translation so long in
hand, or rather perusals of Translations made before: and ask what may be the reason, what the necessity of the
employment: Hath the Church been deceived, say they, all this while? Hath her sweet bread been mingled with leaven, here
silver with dross, her wine with water, her milk with lime? (Lacte gypsum male miscetur, saith S. Ireney,) [S. Iren. 3. lib.
cap. 19.] We hoped that we had been in the right way, that we had the Oracles of God delivered unto us, and that though all
the world had cause to be offended and to complain, yet that we had none. Hath the nurse holden out the breast, and nothing
but wind in it? Hath the bread been delivered by the fathers of the Church, and the same proved to be lapidosus, as Seneca
speaketh? What is it to handle the word of God deceitfully, if this be not? Thus certain brethren. Also the adversaries of
Judah and Jerusalem, like Sanballat in Nehemiah, mock, as we hear, both the work and the workmen, saying; "What do these
weak Jews, etc. will they make the stones whole again out of the heaps of dust which are burnt? although they build, yet if a
fox go up, he shall even break down their stony wall." [Neh 4:3] Was their Translation good before? Why do they now
mend it? Was it not good? Why then was it obtruded to the people? Yea, why did the Catholics (meaning Popish
Romanists) always go in jeopardy, for refusing to go to hear it? Nay, if it must be translated into English, Catholics are
fittest to do it. They have learning, and they know when a thing is well, they can manum de tabula. We will answer them
both briefly: and the former, being brethren, thus, with S. Jerome, "Damnamus veteres? Mineme, sed post priorum studia in
domo Domini quod possums laboramus." [S. Jerome. Apolog. advers. Ruffin.] That is, "Do we condemn the ancient? In no
case: but after the endeavors of them that were before us, we take the best pains we can in the house of God." As if he said,
Being provoked by the example of the learned men that lived before my time, I have thought it my duty, to assay whether
my talent in the knowledge of the tongues, may be profitable in any measure to God’s Church, lest I should seem to laboured
in them in vain, and lest I should be thought to glory in men, (although ancient,) above that which was in them. Thus S.
Jerome may be thought to speak.
A SATISFACTION TO OUR BRETHREN
And to the same effect say we, that we are so far off from condemning any of their labors that travailed before us in this
kind, either in this land or beyond sea, either in King Henry’s time, or King Edward’s (if there were any translation, or
correction of a translation in his time) or Queen Elizabeth’s of ever renowned memory, that we acknowledge them to have
been raised up of God, for the building and furnishing of his Church, and that they deserve to be had of us and of posterity in
everlasting remembrance. The judgment of Aristotle is worthy and well known: "If Timotheus had not been, we had not had
much sweet music; but if Phrynis [Timotheus his master] had not been, we had not had Timotheus." Therefore blessed be
they, and most honoured be their name, that break the ice, and giveth onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of
souls. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver God’s book unto God’s people in a tongue which they
understand? Since of a hidden treasure, and of a fountain that is sealed, there is no profit, as Ptolemy Philadelph wrote to the
Rabbins or masters of the Jews, as witnesseth Epiphanius: [S. Epiphan. loco ante citato.] and as S. Augustine saith; "A man
had rather be with his dog than with a stranger (whose tongue is strange unto him)." [S. Augustin. lib. 19. de civil. Dei. c. 7.]
Yet for all that, as nothing is begun and perfected at the same time, and the later thoughts are thought to be the wiser: so, if
we building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, do endeavor to make that better
which they left so good; no man, we are sure, hath cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive,
would thank us. The vintage of Abienzer, that strake the stroke: yet the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim was not to be
despised. See Judges 8:2. Joash the king of Israel did not satisfy himself, till he had smitten the ground three times; and yet
he offended the Prophet, for giving over then. [2 Kings 13:18-19] Aquila, of whom we spake before, translated the Bible as
carefully, and as skilfully as he could; and yet he thought good to go over it again, and then it got the credit with the Jews, to
be called accurately done, as Saint Jerome witnesseth. [S. Jerome. in Ezech. cap. 3.] How many books of profane learning
have been gone over again and again, by the same translators, by others? Of one and the same book of Aristotle’s Ethics,
there are extant not so few as six or seven several translations. Now if this cost may be bestowed upon the gourd, which
affordeth us a little shade, and which today flourisheth, but tomorrow is cut down; what may we bestow, nay what ought we
not to bestow upon the Vine, the fruit whereof maketh glad the conscience of man, and the stem whereof abideth forever?
And this is the word of God, which we translate. "What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?" [Jer 23:28] Tanti vitreum,
quanti verum margaritum (saith Tertullian,) [Tertul. ad Martyr.] if a toy of glass be of that reckoning with us, how ought we
to value the true pearl? [Jerome. ad Salvin.] Therefore let no man’s eye be evil, because his Majesty’s is good; neither let
any be grieved, that we have a Prince that seeketh the increase of the spiritual wealth of Israel (let Sanballats and Tobiahs do
so, which therefore do bear their just reproof) but let us rather bless God from the ground of our heart, for working this
religious care in him, to have the translations of the Bible maturely considered of and examined. For by this means it
cometh to pass, that whatsoever is sound already (and all is sound for substance, in one or other of our editions, and the
worst of ours far better than their authentic vulgar) the same will shine as gold more brightly, being rubbed and polished;
also, if anything be halting, or superfluous, or not so agreeable to the original, the same may be corrected, and the truth set in
place. And what can the King command to be done, that will bring him more true honour than this? and wherein could they
that have been set a work, approve their duty to the King, yea their obedience to God, and love to his Saints more, than by
yielding their service, and all that is within them, for the furnishing of the work? But besides all this, they were the principal
motives of it, and therefore ought least to quarrel it: for the very Historical truth is, that upon the importunate petitions of the
Puritans, at his Majesty’s coming to this Crown, the Conference at Hampton Court having been appointed for hearing their
complaints: when by force of reason they were put from other grounds, they had recourse at the last, to this shift, that they
could not with good conscience subscribe to the Communion book, since it maintained the Bible as it was there translated,
which was as they said, a most corrupted translation. And although this was judged to be but a very poor and empty shift; yet
even hereupon did his Majesty begin to bethink himself of the good that might ensue by a new translation, and presently
after gave order for this Translation which is now presented unto thee. Thus much to satisfy our scrupulous Brethren.
AN ANSWER TO THE IMPUTATIONS OF OUR ADVERSARIES
Now to the latter we answer; that we do not deny, nay we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in
English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the word
of God, nay, is the word of God. As the King’s speech, which he uttereth in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch,
Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s speech, though it be not interpreted by every Translator with the like grace, nor
peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere. For it is confessed, that things are to take their
denomination of the greater part; and a natural man could say, Verum ubi multa nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendor
maculis, etc. [Horace.] A man may be counted a virtuous man, though he have made many slips in his life, (else, there were
none virtuous, for in many things we offend all) [James 3:2] also a comely man and lovely, though he have some warts upon
his hand, yea, not only freckles upon his face, but also scars. No cause therefore why the word translated should be denied
to be the word, or forbidden to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfections and blemishes may be noted in the
setting forth of it. For whatever was perfect under the Sun, where Apostles or Apostolic men, that is, men endued with an
extraordinary measure of God’s spirit, and privileged with the privilege of infallibility, had not their hand? The Romanists
therefore in refusing to hear, and daring to burn the Word translated, did no less than despite the spirit of grace, from whom
originally it proceeded, and whose sense and meaning, as well as man’s weakness would enable, it did express. Judge by an
example or two. Plutarch writeth, that after that Rome had been burnt by the Gauls, they fell soon to build it again: but
doing it in haste, they did not cast the streets, nor proportion the houses in such comely fashion, as had been most slightly
and convenient; [Plutarch in Camillo.] was Catiline therefore an honest man, or a good patriot, that sought to bring it to a
combustion? or Nero a good Prince, that did indeed set it on fire? So, by the story of Ezra, and the prophecy of Haggai it
may be gathered, that the Temple built by Zerubbabel after the return from Babylon, was by no means to be compared to the
former built by Solomon (for they that remembered the former, wept when they considered the latter) [Ezra 3:12]
notwithstanding, might this latter either have been abhorred and forsaken by the Jews, or profaned by the Greeks? The like
we are to think of Translations. The translation of the Seventy dissenteth from the Original in many places, neither doth it
come near it, for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the Apostles did condemn it? Condemn it? Nay, they used it, (as
it is apparent, and as Saint Jerome and most learned men do confess) which they would not have done, nor by their example
of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had been unworthy of the appellation and name of the word of God.
And whereas they urge for their second defence of their vilifying and abusing of the English Bibles, or some pieces thereof,
which they meet with, for that heretics (forsooth) were the Authors of the translations, (heretics they call us by the same right
that they call themselves Catholics, both being wrong) we marvel what divinity taught them so. We are sure Tertullian was
of another mind: Ex personis probamus fidem, an ex fide personas? [Tertul. de praescript. contra haereses.] Do we try
men’s faith by their persons? we should try their persons by their faith. Also S. Augustine was of another mind: for he
lighting upon certain rules made by Tychonius a Donatist, for the better understanding of the word, was not ashamed to
make use of them, yea, to insert them into his own book, with giving commendation to them so far forth as they were worthy
to be commended, as is to be seen in S. Augustine’s third book De doctrina Christiana. [S. August. 3. de doct. Christ. cap.
30.] To be short, Origen, and the whole Church of God for certain hundred years, were of another mind: for they were so far
from treading under foot, (much more from burning) the Translation of Aquila a Proselyte, that is, one that had turned Jew;
of Symmachus, and Theodotion, both Ebionites, that is, most vile heretics, that they joined together with the Hebrew
Original, and the Translation of the Seventy (as hath been before signified out of Epiphanius) and set them forth openly to be
considered of and perused by all. But we weary the unlearned, who need not know so much, and trouble the learned, who
know it already.
Yet before we end, we must answer a third cavil and objection of theirs against us, for altering and amending our
Translations so oft; wherein truly they deal hardly, and strangely with us. For to whomever was it imputed for a fault (by
such as were wise) to go over that which he had done, and to amend it where he saw cause? Saint Augustine was not afraid
to exhort S. Jerome to a Palinodia or recantation; [S. Aug. Epist. 9.] and doth even glory that he seeth his infirmities. [S.
Aug. Epist. 8.] If we be sons of the Truth, we must consider what it speaketh, and trample upon our own credit, yea, and
upon other men’s too, if either be any way an hindrance to it. This to the cause: then to the persons we say, that of all men
they ought to be most silent in this case. For what varieties have they, and what alterations have they made, not only of their
Service books, Portesses and Breviaries, but also of their Latin Translation? The Service book supposed to be made by S.
Ambrose (Officium Ambrosianum) was a great while in special use and request; but Pope Hadrian calling a Council with the
aid of Charles the Emperor, abolished it, yea, burnt it, and commanded the Service book of Saint Gregory universally to be
used. [Durand. lib. 5. cap. 2.] Well, Officium Gregorianum gets by this means to be in credit, but doth it continue without
change or altering? No, the very Roman Service was of two fashions, the New fashion, and the Old, (the one used in one
Church, the other in another) as is to be seen in Pamelius a Romanist, his Preface, before Micrologus. the same Pamelius
reporteth out Radulphus de Rivo, that about the year of our Lord, 1277, Pope Nicolas the Third removed out of the Churches
of Rome, the more ancient books (of Service) and brought into use the Missals of the Friers Minorites, and commanded them
to be observed there; insomuch that about an hundred years after, when the above name Radulphus happened to be at Rome,
he found all the books to be new, (of the new stamp). Neither were there this chopping and changing in the more ancient
times only, but also of late: Pius Quintus himself confesseth, that every Bishopric almost had a peculiar kind of service,
most unlike to that which others had: which moved him to abolish all other Breviaries, though never so ancient, and
privileged and published by Bishops in their Dioceses, and to establish and ratify that only which was of his own setting
forth, in the year 1568. Now when the father of their Church, who gladly would heal the sore of the daughter of his people
softly and slightly, and make the best of it, findeth so great fault with them for their odds and jarring; we hope the children
have no great cause to vaunt of their uniformity. But the difference that appeareth between our Translations, and our often
correcting of them, is the thing that we are specially charged with; let us see therefore whether they themselves be without
fault this way, (if it be to be counted a fault, to correct) and whether they be fit men to throw stones at us: O tandem maior
parcas insane minori: they that are less sound themselves, out not to object infirmities to others. [Horat.] If we should tell
them that Valla, Stapulensis, Erasmus, and Vives found fault with their vulgar Translation, and consequently wished the
same to be mended, or a new one to be made, they would answer peradventure, that we produced their enemies for witnesses
against them; albeit, they were in no other sort enemies, than as S. Paul was to the Galatians, for telling them the truth [Gal
4:16]: and it were to be wished, that they had dared to tell it them plainlier and oftener. But what will they say to this, that
Pope Leo the Tenth allowed Erasmus’ Translation of the New Testament, so much different from the vulgar, by his
Apostolic Letter and Bull; that the same Leo exhorted Pagnine to translate the whole Bible, and bare whatsoever charges was
necessary for the work? [Sixtus Senens.] Surely, as the Apostle reasoneth to the Hebrews, that if the former Law and
Testament had been sufficient, there had been no need of the latter: [Heb 7:11 and 8:7] so we may say, that if the old vulgar
had been at all points allowable, to small purpose had labour and charges been undergone, about framing of a new. If they
say, it was one Pope’s private opinion, and that he consulted only himself; then we are able to go further with them, and to
aver, that more of their chief men of all sorts, even their own Trent champions Paiva and Vega, and their own Inquisitors,
Hieronymus ab Oleastro, and their own Bishop Isidorus Clarius, and their own Cardinal Thomas a Vio Caietan, do either
make new Translations themselves, or follow new ones of other men’s making, or note the vulgar Interpreter for halting;
none of them fear to dissent from him, nor yet to except against him. And call they this an uniform tenor of text and
judgment about the text, so many of their Worthies disclaiming the now received conceit? Nay, we will yet come nearer the
quick: doth not their Paris edition differ from the Lovaine, and Hentenius his from them both, and yet all of them allowed by
authority? Nay, doth not Sixtus Quintus confess, that certain Catholics (he meaneth certain of his own side) were in such an
humor of translating the Scriptures into Latin, that Satan taking occasion by them, though they thought of no such matter, did
strive what he could, out of so uncertain and manifold a variety of Translations, so to mingle all things, that nothing might
seem to be left certain and firm in them, etc.? [Sixtus 5. praefat. fixa Bibliis.] Nay, further, did not the same Sixtus ordain by
an inviolable decree, and that with the counsel and consent of his Cardinals, that the Latin edition of the old and new
Testament, which the Council of Trent would have to be authentic, is the same without controversy which he then set forth,
being diligently corrected and printed in the Printinghouse of Vatican? Thus Sixtus in his Preface before his Bible. And yet
Clement the Eighth his immediate successor, published another edition of the Bible, containing in it infinite differences from
that of Sixtus, (and many of them weighty and material) and yet this must be authentic by all means. What is to have the
faith of our glorious Lord JESUS CHRIST with Yea or Nay, if this be not? Again, what is sweet harmony and consent, if
this be? Therefore, as Demaratus of Corinth advised a great King, before he talked of the dissensions of the Grecians, to
compose his domestic broils (for at that time his Queen and his son and heir were at deadly feud with him) so all the while
that our adversaries do make so many and so various editions themselves, and do jar so much about the worth and authority
of them, they can with no show of equity challenge us for changing and correcting.
THE PURPOSE OF THE TRANSLATORS, WITH THEIR NUMBER, FURNITURE, CARE, ETC.
But it is high time to leave them, and to show in brief what we proposed to ourselves, and what course we held in this our
perusal and survey of the Bible. Truly (good Christian Reader) we never thought from the beginning, that we should need to
make a new Translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one, (for then the imputation of Sixtus had been true in some
sort, that our people had been fed with gall of Dragons instead of wine, with whey instead of milk:) but to make a good one
better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against; that hath been our endeavor, that
our mark. To that purpose there were many chosen, that were greater in other men’s eyes than in their own, and that sought
the truth rather than their own praise. Again, they came or were thought to come to the work, not exercendi causa (as one
saith) but exercitati, that is, learned, not to learn: For the chief overseer and [NOTE: Greek letters omitted] under his
Majesty, to whom not only we, but also our whole Church was much bound, knew by his wisdom, which thing also
Nazianzen taught so long ago, that it is a preposterous order to teach first and to learn after, yea that [NOTE: Greek letters
omitted] to learn and practice together, is neither commendable for the workman, nor safe for the work. [Idem in Apologet.]
Therefore such were thought upon, as could say modestly with Saint Jerome, Et Hebreaeum Sermonem ex parte didicimus,
et in Latino pene ab ipsis incunabulis etc. detriti sumus. "Both we have learned the Hebrew tongue in part, and in the Latin
we have been exercised almost from our very cradle." S. Jerome maketh no mention of the Greek tongue, wherein yet he did
excel, because he translated not the old Testament out of Greek, but out of Hebrew. And in what sort did these assemble? In
the trust of their own knowledge, or of their sharpness of wit, or deepness of judgment, as it were in an arm of flesh? At no
hand. They trusted in him that hath the key of David, opening and no man shutting; they prayed to the Lord the Father of our
Lord, to the effect that S. Augustine did; "O let thy Scriptures be my pure delight, let me not be deceived in them, neither let
me deceive by them." [S. Aug. lib. II. Confess. cap. 2.] In this confidence, and with this devotion did they assemble
together; not too many, lest one should trouble another; and yet many, lest many things haply might escape them. If you ask
what they had before them, truly it was the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the Greek of the New. These are the two
golden pipes, or rather conduits, where-through the olive branches empty themselves into the gold. Saint Augustine calleth
them precedent, or original tongues; [S. August. 3. de doctr. c. 3. etc.] Saint Jerome, fountains. [S. Jerome. ad Suniam et
Fretel.] The same Saint Jerome affirmeth, [S. Jerome. ad Lucinium, Dist. 9 ut veterum.] and Gratian hath not spared to put it
into his Decree, That "as the credit of the old Books" (he meaneth of the Old Testament) "is to be tried by the Hebrew
Volumes, so of the New by the Greek tongue," he meaneth by the original Greek. If truth be tried by these tongues, then
whence should a Translation be made, but out of them? These tongues therefore, the Scriptures we say in those tongues, we
set before us to translate, being the tongues wherein God was pleased to speak to his Church by the Prophets and Apostles.
Neither did we run over the work with that posting haste that the Septuagint did, if that be true which is reported of them,
that they finished it in 72 days; [Joseph. Antiq. lib. 12.] neither were we barred or hindered from going over it again, having
once done it, like S. Jerome, if that be true which himself reporteth, that he could no sooner write anything, but presently it
was caught from him, and published, and he could not have leave to mend it: [S. Jerome. ad Pammac. pro libr. advers.
Iovinian.] neither, to be short, were we the first that fell in hand with translating the Scripture into English, and consequently
destitute of former helps, as it is written of Origen, that he was the first in a manner, that put his hand to write Commentaries
upon the Scriptures, [Sophoc. in Elect.] and therefore no marvel, if he overshot himself many times. None of these things:
the work hath not been huddled up in 72 days, but hath cost the workmen, as light as it seemeth, the pains of twice seven
times seventy two days and more:
matters of such weight and consequence are to be speeded with maturity: for in a business of movement a man feareth not
the blame of convenient slackness. [S. Chrysost. in II. Thess. cap. 2.] Neither did we think much to consult the Translators or
Commentators, Chaldee, Hebrew, Syrian, Greek or Latin, no nor the Spanish, French, Italian, or Dutch; neither did we
disdain to revise that which we had done, and to bring back to the anvil that which we had hammered: but having and using
as great helps as were needful, and fearing no reproach for slowness, nor coveting praise for expedition, we have at length,
through the good hand of the Lord upon us, brought the work to that pass that you see.
REASONS MOVING US TO SET DIVERSITY OF SENSES IN THE MARGIN, WHERE THERE IS GREAT
PROBABILITY FOR EACH
Some peradventure would have no variety of senses to be set in the margin, lest the authority of the Scriptures for deciding
of controversies by that show of uncertainty, should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgment not to be sound in
this point. For though, "whatsoever things are necessary are manifest," as S. Chrysostom saith, [S. Chrysost. in II. Thess.
cap. 2.] and as S. Augustine, "In those things that are plainly set down in the Scriptures, all such matters are found that
concern Faith, Hope, and Charity. [S. Aug. 2. de doctr. Christ. cap. 9.] Yet for all that it cannot be dissembled, that partly to
exercise and whet our wits, partly to wean the curious from the loathing of them for their everywhere plainness, partly also
to stir up our devotion to crave the assistance of God’s spirit by prayer, and lastly, that we might be forward to seek aid of
our brethren by conference, and never scorn those that be not in all respects so complete as they should be, being to seek in
many things ourselves, it hath pleased God in his divine providence, here and there to scatter words and sentences of that
difficulty and doubtfulness, not in doctrinal points that concern salvation, (for in such it hath been vouched that the
Scriptures are plain) but in matters of less moment, that fearfulness would better beseem us than confidence, and if we will
resolve upon modesty with S. Augustine, (though not in this same case altogether, yet upon the same ground) Melius est
debitare de occultis, quam litigare de incertis, [S. Aug li. S. de Genes. ad liter. cap. 5.] "it is better to make doubt of those
things which are secret, than to strive about those things that are uncertain." There be many words in the Scriptures, which
be never found there but once, (having neither brother or neighbor, as the Hebrews speak) so that we cannot be holpen by
conference of places.
Again, there be many rare names of certain birds, beasts and precious stones, etc. concerning the Hebrews themselves are so
divided among themselves for judgment, that they may seem to have defined this or that, rather because they would say
something, than because they were sure of that which they said, as S. Jerome somewhere saith of the Septuagint. Now in
such a case, doth not a margin do well to admonish the Reader to seek further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or
that peremptorily? For as it is a fault of incredulity, to doubt of those things that are evident: so to determine of such things
as the Spirit of God hath left (even in the judgment of the judicious) questionable, can be no less than presumption.
Therefore as S. Augustine saith, that variety of Translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures: [S.
Aug. 2. De doctr. Christian. cap. 14.] so diversity of signification and sense in the margin, where the text is no so clear, must
needs do good, yea, is necessary, as we are persuaded. We know that Sixtus Quintus expressly forbiddeth, that any variety
of readings of their vulgar edition, should be put in the margin, [Sixtus 5. praef. Bibliae.] (which though it be not altogether
the same thing to that we have in hand, yet it looketh that way) but we think he hath not all of his own side his favorers, for
this conceit. They that are wise, had rather have their judgments at liberty in differences of readings, than to be captivated to
one, when it may be the other. If they were sure that their high Priest had all laws shut up in his breast, as Paul the Second
bragged, [Plat. in Paulo secundo.] and that he were as free from error by special privilege, as the Dictators of Rome were
made by law inviolable, it were another matter; then his word were an Oracle, his opinion a decision. But the eyes of the
world are now open, God be thanked, and have been a great while, they find that he is subject to the same affections and
infirmities that others be, that his skin is penetrable, and therefore so much as he proveth, not as much as he claimeth, they
grant and embrace.
REASONS INDUCING US NOT TO STAND CURIOUSLY UPON AN IDENTITY OF PHRASING
Another things we think good to admonish thee of (gentle Reader) that we have not tied ourselves to an uniformity of
phrasing, or to an identity of words, as some peradventure would wish that we had done, because they observe, that some
learned men somewhere, have been as exact as they could that way. Truly, that we might not vary from the sense of that
which we had translated before, if the word signified that same in both places (for there be some words that be not the same
sense everywhere) we were especially careful, and made a conscience, according to our duty. But, that we should express
the same notion in the same particular word; as for example, if we translate the Hebrew or Greek word once by PURPOSE,
never to call it INTENT; if one where JOURNEYING, never TRAVELING; if one where THINK, never SUPPOSE; if one
where PAIN, never ACHE; if one where JOY, never GLADNESS, etc. Thus to mince the matter, we thought to savour more
of curiosity than wisdom, and that rather it would breed scorn in the Atheist, than bring profit to the godly Reader. For is the
kingdom of God to become words or syllables? why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free, use one precisely
when we may use another no less fit, as commodiously? A godly Father in the Primitive time showed himself greatly
moved, that one of newfangledness called [NOTE: Greek omitted but was a dispute over the word for "a bed"] [Niceph.
Calist. lib.8. cap.42.] though the difference be little or none; and another reporteth that he was much abused for turning
"Cucurbita" (to which reading the people had been used) into "Hedera". [S. Jerome in 4. Ionae. See S. Aug: epist. 10.] Now
if this happens in better times, and upon so small occasions, we might justly fear hard censure, if generally we should make
verbal and unnecessary changings. We might also be charged (by scoffers) with some unequal dealing towards a great
number of good English words. For as it is written of a certain great Philosopher, that he should say , that those logs were
happy that were made images to be worshipped; for their fellows, as good as they, lay for blocks behind the fire: so if we
should say, as it were, unto certain words, Stand up higher, have a place in the Bible always, and to others of like quality,
Get ye hence, be banished forever, we might be taxed peradventure with S. James his words, namely, "To be partial in
ourselves and judges of evil thoughts." Add hereunto, that niceness in words was always counted the next step to trifling,
and so was to be curious about names too: also that we cannot follow a better pattern for elocution than God himself;
therefore he using divers words, in his holy writ, and indifferently for one thing in nature: [see Euseb. li. 12. ex Platon.] we,
if we will not be superstitious, may use the same liberty in our English versions out of Hebrew and Greek, for that copy or
store that he hath given us. Lastly, we have on the one side avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old
Ecclesiastical words, and betake them to other, as when they put WASHING for BAPTISM, and CONGREGATION instead
of CHURCH: as also on the other side we have shunned the obscurity of the Papists, in their AZIMES, TUNIKE,
RATIONAL, HOLOCAUSTS, PRAEPUCE, PASCHE, and a number of such like, whereof their late Translation is full, and
that of purpose to darken the sense, that since they must needs translate the Bible, yet by the language thereof, it may be kept
from being understood. But we desire that the Scripture may speak like itself, as in the language of Canaan, that it may be
understood even of the very vulgar.
Many other things we might give thee warning of (gentle Reader) if we had not exceeded the measure of a Preface already.
It remaineth, that we commend thee to God, and to the Spirit of his grace, which is able to build further than we can ask or
think. He removeth the scales from our eyes, the vail from our hearts, opening our wits that we may understand his word,
enlarging our hearts, yea correcting our affections, that we may love it to the end. Ye are brought unto fountains of living
water which ye digged not; do not cast earth into them with the Philistines, neither prefer broken pits before them with the
wicked Jews. [Gen 26:15. Jer 2:13.] Others have laboured, and you may enter into their labours; O receive not so great
things in vain, O despise not so great salvation! Be not like swine to tread under foot so precious things, neither yet like dogs
to tear and abuse holy things. Say not to our Saviour with the Gergesites, Depart out of our coast [Matt 8:34]; neither yet
with Esau sell your birthright for a mess of pottage [Heb 12:16]. If light be come into the world, love not darkness more
than light; if food, if clothing be offered, go not naked, starve not yourselves. Remember the advice of Nazianzene, "It is a
grievous thing" (or dangerous) "to neglect a great fair, and to seek to make markets afterwards: also the encouragement of S.
Chrysostom, "It is altogether impossible, that he that is sober" (and watchful) "should at any time be neglected:" [S.
Chrysost. in epist. ad Rom. cap. 14. oral. 26.] Lastly, the admonition and menacing of S. Augustine, "They that despise
God’s will inviting them, shall feel God’s will taking vengeance of them." [S. August. ad artic. sibi falso object. Artic. 16.]
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God; [Heb 10:31] but a blessed thing it is, and will bring us to
everlasting blessedness in the end, when God speaketh unto us, to hearken; when he setteth his word before us, to read it;
when he stretcheth out his hand and calleth, to answer, Here am I, here we are to do thy will, O God. The Lord work a care
and conscience in us to know him and serve him, that we may be acknowledged of him at the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ, to whom with the holy Ghost, be all praise and thanksgiving.
Amen.

{40:34} Then a cloud covered the tent of the

congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle. {40:35} And Moses was not able to enter into
the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode
thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
{40:36} And when the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their
journeys: {40:37} But if the cloud were not taken up, then
they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. {40:38}
For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by
day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house
of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
{36:1} And the chief fathers of the families of the

children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh,
of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake
before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of
the children of Israel: {36:2} And they said, The LORD
commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by
lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by
the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
unto his daughters. {36:3} And if they be married to any of
the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then
shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our
fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the
lot of our inheritance. {36:4} And when the jubile of the
children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put
unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the
inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. {36:5} And Moses
commanded the children of Israel according to the word of
the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said
well. {36:6} This is the thing which the LORD doth
command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying,
Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family
of the tribe of their father shall they marry. {36:7} So shall
not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from
tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall
keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
{36:8} And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance
in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one
of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of
Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
{36:9} Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe
to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children
of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. {36:10}
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters
of Zelophehad: {36:11} For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah,
and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were
married unto their father’s brothers’ sons: {36:12} [And]
they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh
the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe
of the family of their father. {36:13} These [are] the
commandments and the judgments, which the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.

answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the
LORD, to serve other gods; {24:17} For the LORD our
God, he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers out of the
land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did
those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the
way wherein we went, and among all the people through
whom we passed: {24:18} And the LORD drave out from
before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in
the land: [therefore] will we also serve the LORD; for he
[is] our God. {24:19} And Joshua said unto the people, Ye
cannot serve the LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a
jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor
your sins. {24:20} If ye forsake the LORD, and serve
strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and
consume you, after that he hath done you good. {24:21}
And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the
LORD. {24:22} And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are]
witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the
LORD, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.
{24:23} Now therefore put away, [said he,] the strange gods
which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto the
LORD God of Israel. {24:24} And the people said unto
Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice
will we obey. {24:25} So Joshua made a covenant with the
people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in
Shechem.
{24:26} And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the

law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under
an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of the LORD. {24:27}
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall
be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the
LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a
witness unto you, lest ye deny your God. {24:28} So Joshua
let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
{24:29} And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua

the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an
hundred and ten years old. {24:30} And they buried him in
the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which [is] in
mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
{24:31} And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua,
and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and
which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had
done for Israel.
{24:32} And the bones of Joseph, which the children of

Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a
parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor
the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it
became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. {24:33}
And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a
hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given
him in mount Ephraim.

{21:8} And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of
Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And,
behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to
the assembly. {21:9} For the people were numbered, and,
behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-
gilead there. {21:10} And the congregation sent thither
twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded
them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead
with the edge of the sword, with the women and the
children. {21:11} And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye
shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath
lain by man. {21:12} And they found among the inhabitants
of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had
known no man by lying with any male: and they brought
them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of
Canaan. {21:13} And the whole congregation sent [some]
to speak to the children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock
Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them. {21:14} And
Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them
wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-
gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. {21:15} And the
people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD
had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
{21:16} Then the elders of the congregation said, How

shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the
women are destroyed out of Benjamin? {21:17} And they
said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that be
escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of
Israel. {21:18} Howbeit we may not give them wives of our
daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying,
Cursed [be] he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. {21:19}
Then they said, Behold, [there is] a feast of the LORD in
Shiloh yearly [in a place] which [is] on the north side of
Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from
Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. {21:20}
Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin,
saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; {21:21} And
see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to
dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and
catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh,
and go to the land of Benjamin. {21:22} And it shall be,
when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to
complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto
them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his
wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time,
[that] ye should be guilty. {21:23} And the children of
Benjamin did so, and took [them] wives, according to their
number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they
went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the
cities, and dwelt in them. {21:24} And the children of Israel
departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to
his family, and they went out from thence every man to his
inheritance. {21:25} In those days [there was] no king in
Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.

choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] unto thee.
{24:13} So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto
him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy
land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies,
while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’
pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I
shall return to him that sent me. {24:14} And David said
unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand
of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me not fall
into the hand of man.
{24:15} So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from

the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of
the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand
men. {24:16} And when the angel stretched out his hand
upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the
evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is
enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD
was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite. {24:17}
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel
that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I
have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done?
let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my
father’s house.
{24:18} And Gad came that day to David, and said unto
him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the
threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. {24:19} And David,
according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD
commanded. {24:20} And Araunah looked, and saw the
king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah
went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face
upon the ground. {24:21} And Araunah said, Wherefore is
my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To
buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the
LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
{24:22} And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king
take and offer up what [seemeth] good unto him: behold,
[here be] oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments
and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood. {24:23} All
[these] things did Araunah, [as] a king, give unto the king.
And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept
thee. {24:24} And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I
will surely buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer
burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth
cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the

{22:41} And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign

over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
{22:42} Jehoshaphat [was] thirty and five years old when
he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in
Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Azubah the
daughter of Shilhi. {22:43} And he walked in all the ways
of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that
which was] right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the
high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered
and burnt incense yet in the high places. {22:44} And
Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. {22:45}

then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king. {22:48}
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for
gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-
geber. {22:49} Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto
Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the
ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
{22:50} And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was

buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and
Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
{22:51} Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over

Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king
of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. {22:52} And he
did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of
his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: {22:53}

these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
{25:18} And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the

chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three
keepers of the door: {25:19} And out of the city he took an
officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of
them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in
the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered
the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of
the land [that were] found in the city: {25:20} And Nebuzar-
adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to
the king of Babylon to Riblah: {25:21} And the king of
Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of
Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
{25:22} And [as for] the people that remained in the land
of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left,
even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the
son of Shaphan, ruler. {25:23} And when all the captains of
the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of
Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to
Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah,
and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a
Maachathite, they and their men. {25:24} And Gedaliah
sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear
not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and
serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
{25:25} But it came to pass in the seventh month, that
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the
seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote
Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that
were with him at Mizpah. {25:26} And all the people, both
small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and
came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
{25:27} And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth

year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the
twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the
month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year
that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king
of Judah out of prison; {25:28} And he spake kindly to him,
and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were]
with him in Babylon; {25:29} And changed his prison
garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all
the days of his life. {25:30} And his allowance [was] a
continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for
every day, all the days of his life.

riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all;
and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it
is] to make great, and to give strength unto all. {29:13}
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy
glorious name. {29:14} But who [am] I, and what [is] my
people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this
sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we
given thee. {29:15} For we [are] strangers before thee, and
sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth
[are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding. {29:16} O
LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build
thee an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine hand,
and [is] all thine own. {29:17} I know also, my God, that
thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for
me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered
all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people,
which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. {29:18}
O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers,
keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the
heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
{29:19} And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to
keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes,
and to do all [these things,] and to build the palace, for the
which I have made provision.
{29:20} And David said to all the congregation, Now

bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed
the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their
heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. {29:21}
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered
burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that
day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a
thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in
abundance for all Israel: {29:22} And did eat and drink
before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they
made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and
anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the chief governor,
and Zadok [to be] priest. {29:23} Then Solomon sat on the
throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and
prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. {29:24} And all the
princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of
king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
{29:25} And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in
the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal
majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
{29:26} Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all

Israel. {29:27} And the time that he reigned over Israel
[was] forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and
thirty and three [years] reigned he in Jerusalem. {29:28}
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and
honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. {29:29}
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they

of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as
Mordecai had written unto them; {9:24} Because Haman
the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the
Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had
cast Pur, that [is,] the lot, to consume them, and to destroy
them; {9:25} But when [Esther] came before the king, he
commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he
devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head,
and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
{9:26} Wherefore they called these days Purim after the
name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and
[of that] which they had seen concerning this matter, and
which had come unto them, {9:27} The Jews ordained, and
took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as
joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that
they would keep these two days according to their writing,
and according to their [appointed] time every year; {9:28}
And [that] these days [should be] remembered and kept
throughout every generation, every family, every province,
and every city; and [that] these days of Purim should not
fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish
from their seed. {9:29} Then Esther the queen, the daughter
of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority,
to confirm this second letter of Purim. {9:30} And he sent
the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and
seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words
of peace and truth, {9:31} To confirm these days of Purim
in their times [appointed,] according as Mordecai the Jew
and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had
decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the
fastings and their cry. {9:32} And the decree of Esther
confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the
book.
{10:1} And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the

land, and [upon] the isles of the sea. {10:2} And all the acts
of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the
greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him,
[are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Media and Persia? {10:3} For Mordecai the Jew
[was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews,
and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the
wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

them. {41:17} They are joined one to another, they stick brethren. {42:16} After this lived Job an hundred and forty
together, that they cannot be sundered. {41:18} By his years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four
neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the generations. {42:17} So Job died, [being] old and full of
eyelids of the morning. {41:19} Out of his mouth go days.
burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out. {41:20} Out of
his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or
caldron. {41:21} His breath kindleth coals, and a flame
goeth out of his mouth. {41:22} In his neck remaineth
strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. {41:23}
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
themselves; they cannot be moved. {41:24} His heart is as
firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether
[millstone. ]{41:25} When he raiseth up himself, the mighty
are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
{41:26} The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold:
the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. {41:27} He
esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood. {41:28}
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned
with him into stubble. {41:29} Darts are counted as stubble:
he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. {41:30} Sharp stones
[are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the
mire. {41:31} He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he
maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. {41:32} He maketh a
path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be]
hoary. {41:33} Upon earth there is not his like, who is made
without fear. {41:34} He beholdeth all high [things:] he [is]
a king over all the children of pride.
{42:1} Then Job answered the LORD, and said, {42:2} I

know that thou canst do every [thing,] and [that] no thought
can be withholden from thee. {42:3} Who [is] he that hideth
counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I
understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not. {42:4} Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. {42:5} I have
heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye
seeth thee. {42:6} Wherefore I abhor [myself,] and repent in
dust and ashes.
{42:7} And it was [so,] that after the LORD had spoken
these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the
Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy
two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is]
right, as my servant Job [hath. ]{42:8} Therefore take unto
you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my
servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering;
and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept:
lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not
spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.
{42:9} So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite
[and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the
LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
{42:10} And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when
he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as
much as he had before. {42:11} Then came there unto him
all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been
of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his
house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all
the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man
also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of
gold. {42:12} So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job
more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand
sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of
oxen, and a thousand she asses. {42:13} He had also seven
sons and three daughters. {42:14} And he called the name
of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and
the name of the third, Keren-happuch. {42:15} And in all

Psalm 1
Book I
{1:1} Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful.
{1:2} But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.
{1:3} And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
{1:4} The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
{1:5} Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
{1:6} For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish.

{2:1} Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
{2:2} The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
[saying,
]{2:3} Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.
{2:4} He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have
them in derision.
{2:5} Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
{2:6} Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
{2:7} I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art]
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
{2:8} Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy
possession.
{2:9} Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter’s vessel.
{2:10} Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
{2:11} Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
{2:12} Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they
that put their trust in him.
Psalm 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
{3:1} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they
that rise up against me.
{3:2} Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him
in God. Selah.
{3:3} But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter
up of mine head.
{3:4} I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his
holy hill. Selah.
{3:5} I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
{3:6} I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
[themselves] against me round about.
{3:7} Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine
enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the
ungodly.
{3:8} Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy
people. Selah.
Psalm 4
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.
{4:1} Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast

enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.
{4:2} O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame?
[how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah.
{4:3} But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
{4:4} Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your
bed, and be still. Selah.
{4:5} Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the
LORD.
{4:6} [There be] many that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
{4:7} Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [that]
their corn and their wine increased.
{4:8} I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only
makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 5
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
{5:1} Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

{5:2} Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto
thee will I pray.
{5:3} My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning
will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
{5:4} For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.
{5:5} The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
{5:6} Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
{5:7} But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of
thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.
{5:8} Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
{5:9} For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
[is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.
{5:10} Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they
have rebelled against thee.
{5:11} But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them
ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also
that love thy name be joyful in thee.
{5:12} For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as [with] a shield.
Psalm 6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

{6:1} O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy
hot displeasure.
{6:2} Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me; for
my bones are vexed.
{6:3} My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
{6:4} Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
{6:5} For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?
{6:6} I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
{6:7} Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of
all mine enemies.
{6:8} Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.
{6:9} The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.
{6:10} Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return
[and] be ashamed suddenly.
Psalm 7
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words
of Cush the Benjamite.
{7:1} O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them
that persecute me, and deliver me:
{7:2} Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while
[there is] none to deliver.
{7:3} O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;
{7:4} If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea,
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
{7:5} Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it;] yea, let him
tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.
{7:6} Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that]
thou hast commanded.
{7:7} So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for
their sakes therefore return thou on high.
{7:8} The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to
my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
{7:9} Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
{7:10} My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
{7:11} God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked]
every day.
{7:12} If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.
{7:13} He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
{7:14} Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
{7:15} He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
[which] he made.
{7:16} His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
{7:17} I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will
sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Psalm 8
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
{8:1} O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
{8:2} Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.
{8:3} When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
{8:4} What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
{8:5} For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour.
{8:6} Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
{8:7} All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
{8:8} The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever]
passeth through the paths of the seas.
{8:9} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalm 9
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
{9:1} I will praise [thee,] O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.
{9:2} I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
{9:3} When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
{9:4} For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.
{9:5} Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
{9:6} O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
{9:7} But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne
for judgment.
{9:8} And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
{9:9} The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
{9:10} And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
{9:11} Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings.
{9:12} When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
{9:13} Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer]
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of
death:
{9:14} That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
{9:15} The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken.
{9:16} The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
{9:17} The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that
forget God.
{9:18} For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
{9:19} Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in
thy sight.
{9:20} Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves
[to be but] men. Selah.
Psalm 10
{10:1} Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself]
in times of trouble?
{10:2} The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.
{10:3} For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the
covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
{10:4} The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
[after God:] God [is] not in all his thoughts.
{10:5} His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out
of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
{10:6} He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall]
never [be] in adversity.
{10:7} His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
{10:8} He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret
places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set
against the poor.
{10:9} He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait
to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him
into his net.
{10:10} He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.
{10:11} He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see [it.
]{10:12} Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.
{10:13} Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require [it.
]{10:14} Thou hast seen [it;] for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to
requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto
thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
{10:15} Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man:] seek out
his wickedness [till] thou find none.
{10:16} The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land.
{10:17} LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
{10:18} To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.
Psalm 11
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David.
{11:1} In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a
bird to your mountain?
{11:2} For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their
arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright
in heart.
{11:3} If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
{11:4} The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne [is] in
heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
{11:5} The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.
{11:6} Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an
horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.
{11:7} For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the upright.
Psalm 12
To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
{12:1} Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.
{12:2} They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with]
flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
{12:3} The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue
that speaketh proud things:
{12:4} Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are]
our own: who [is] lord over us?
{12:5} For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety
[from him that] puffeth at him.
{12:6} The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
{12:7} Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
{12:8} The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Psalm 13
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
{13:1} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?
{13:2} How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
{13:3} Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the [sleep of] death;
{13:4} Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
{13:5} But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
{13:6} I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.
Psalm 14
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David.
{14:1} The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that
doeth good.
{14:2} The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.
{14:3} They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy:
[there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
{14:4} Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
{14:5} There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of
the righteous.
{14:6} Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is]
his refuge.
{14:7} Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
Psalm 15
A Psalm of David.
{15:1} LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
holy hill?
{15:2} He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.
{15:3} [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
{15:4} In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them
that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and
changeth not.
{15:5} [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be
moved.
Psalm 16
Michtam of David.
{16:1} Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

{16:2} [O my soul,] thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord:
my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
{16:3} [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the
excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
{16:4} Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another
[god:] their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.
{16:5} The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my lot.
{16:6} The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places;] yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
{16:7} I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also
instruct me in the night seasons.
{16:8} I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my
right hand, I shall not be moved.
{16:9} Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in hope.
{16:10} For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
{16:11} Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is]
fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for
evermore.
Psalm 17
A Prayer of David.
{17:1} Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
{17:2} Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.
{17:3} Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the
night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am
purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
{17:4} Concerning the words of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
[me from] the paths of the destroyer.
{17:5} Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
{17:6} I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.
{17:7} Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that
rise up [against them.
]{17:8} Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
thy wings,
{17:9} From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who]
compass me about.
{17:10} They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak
proudly.
{17:11} They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the earth;
{17:12} Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in secret places.
{17:13} Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:
{17:14} From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
[which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou
fillest with thy hid [treasure:] they are full of children, and
leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.
{17:15} As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Psalm 18
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who
spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the
LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the
hand of Saul: And he said,
{18:1} I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

{18:2} The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn
of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
{18:3} I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.
{18:4} The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men
made me afraid.
{18:5} The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.
{18:6} In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he
heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him,
[even] into his ears.
{18:7} Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
{18:8} There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
{18:9} He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was]
under his feet.
{18:10} And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.
{18:11} He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him
[were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
{18:12} At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds
passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
{18:13} The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
{18:14} Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them.
{18:15} Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of
the breath of thy nostrils.
{18:16} He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
{18:17} He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated
me: for they were too strong for me.
{18:18} They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.
{18:19} He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
{18:20} The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
{18:21} For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
{18:22} For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.
{18:23} I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
{18:24} Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight.
{18:25} With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
{18:26} With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward
thou wilt shew thyself froward.
{18:27} For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down
high looks.
{18:28} For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness.
{18:29} For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall.
{18:30} [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is
tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
{18:31} For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God?
{18:32} [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way
perfect.
{18:33} He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet,] and setteth me upon my
high places.
{18:34} He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms.
{18:35} Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great.
{18:36} Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
{18:37} I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed.
{18:38} I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.
{18:39} For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
{18:40} Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might
destroy them that hate me.
{18:41} They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the
LORD, but he answered them not.
{18:42} Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
{18:43} Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and]
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have
not known shall serve me.
{18:44} As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves unto me.
{18:45} The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close
places.
{18:46} The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of
my salvation be exalted.
{18:47} [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
{18:48} He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from
the violent man.
{18:49} Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
{18:50} Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Psalm 19
{19:1} The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth
his handywork.
{19:2} Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
{19:3} [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not
heard.
{19:4} Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the
sun,
{19:5} Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and]
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
{19:6} His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
thereof.
{19:7} The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
{19:8} The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
{19:9} The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
{19:10} More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
{19:11} Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of
them [there is] great reward.
{19:12} Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret
[faults.
]{19:13} Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins;] let them
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall
be innocent from the great transgression.
{19:14} Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 20
{20:1} The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of
Jacob defend thee;
{20:2} Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;
{20:3} Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
Selah.
{20:4} Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
counsel.
{20:5} We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we
will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
{20:6} Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
{20:7} Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of the LORD our God.
{20:8} They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
upright.
{20:9} Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
Psalm 21
{21:1} The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation
how greatly shall he rejoice!
{21:2} Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden
the request of his lips. Selah.
{21:3} For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
{21:4} He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length
of days for ever and ever.
{21:5} His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
thou laid upon him.
{21:6} For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance.
{21:7} For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the
most High he shall not be moved.
{21:8} Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
shall find out those that hate thee.
{21:9} Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall
devour them.
{21:10} Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
{21:11} For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform.
]{21:12} Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou
shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face
of them.
{21:13} Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing
and praise thy power.
Psalm 22
To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.
{22:1} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far
from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
{22:2} O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the
night season, and am not silent.
{22:3} But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of
Israel.
{22:4} Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
deliver them.
{22:5} They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee,
and were not confounded.
{22:6} But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised
of the people.
{22:7} All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip,
they shake the head [saying,
]{22:8} He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him
deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
{22:9} But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make
me hope [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts.
{22:10} I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my
mother’s belly.
{22:11} Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none
to help.
{22:12} Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have
beset me round.
{22:13} They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a
roaring lion.
{22:14} I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
{22:15} My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth
to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
{22:16} For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
{22:17} I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
{22:18} They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
{22:19} But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee
to help me.
{22:20} Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of
the dog.
{22:21} Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
horns of the unicorns.
{22:22} I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee.
{22:23} Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
{22:24} For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard.
{22:25} My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will
pay my vows before them that fear him.
{22:26} The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD
that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
{22:27} All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
thee.
{22:28} For the kingdom [is] the LORD’S: and he [is] the governor among
the nations.
{22:29} All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all
they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can
keep alive his own soul.
{22:30} A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a
generation.
{22:31} They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
people that shall be born, that he hath done [this.
]
Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
{23:1} The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

{23:2} He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
{23:3} He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake.
{23:4} Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
{23:5} Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
{23:6} Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 24
A Psalm of David.
{24:1} The earth [is] the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.
{24:2} For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon
the floods.
{24:3} Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand
in his holy place?
{24:4} He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted
up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
{24:5} He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
from the God of his salvation.
{24:6} This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
face, O Jacob. Selah.
{24:7} Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
{24:8} Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
LORD mighty in battle.
{24:9} Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
{24:10} Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the King
of glory. Selah.
Psalm 25
A [Psalm] of David.
{25:1} Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

{25:2} O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine
enemies triumph over me.
{25:3} Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed
which transgress without cause.
{25:4} Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
{25:5} Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my
salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
{25:6} Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they [have been] ever of old.
{25:7} Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O
LORD.
{25:8} Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners
in the way.
{25:9} The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach
his way.
{25:10} All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as
keep his covenant and his testimonies.
{25:11} For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is]
great.
{25:12} What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in
the way [that] he shall choose.
{25:13} His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the
earth.
{25:14} The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he
will shew them his covenant.
{25:15} Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my
feet out of the net.
{25:16} Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate
and afflicted.
{25:17} The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O[ bring thou me out of
my distresses.
{25:18} Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
{25:19} Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with
cruel hatred.
{25:20} O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I
put my trust in thee.
{25:21} Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
{25:22} Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Psalm 26
A [Psalm] of David.
{26:1} Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have
trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.
{26:2} Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
{26:3} For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked
in thy truth.
{26:4} I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
dissemblers.
{26:5} I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit
with the wicked.
{26:6} I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine
altar, O LORD:
{26:7} That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of
all thy wondrous works.
{26:8} LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour dwelleth.
{26:9} Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
{26:10} In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of
bribes.
{26:11} But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be
merciful unto me.
{26:12} My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I
bless the LORD.
Psalm 27
A [Psalm] of David.
{27:1} The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the
LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
{27:2} When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came upon me
to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
{27:3} Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be]
confident.
{27:4} One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
temple.
{27:5} For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up
upon a rock.
{27:6} And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round
about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of
joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
{27:7} Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
me, and answer me.
{27:8} [When thou saidst,] Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
{27:9} Hide not thy face [far] from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
{27:10} When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will
take me up.
{27:11} Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because
of mine enemies.
{27:12} Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.
{27:13} [I had fainted,] unless I had believed to see the goodness of
the LORD in the land of the living.
{27:14} Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 28
A [Psalm] of David.
{28:1} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest,
[if] thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into
the pit.
{28:2} Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I
lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
{28:3} Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief
[is] in their hearts.
{28:4} Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their
hands; render to them their desert.
{28:5} Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation
of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
{28:6} Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.
{28:7} The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and
with my song will I praise him.
{28:8} The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of
his anointed.
{28:9} Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for ever.
Psalm 29
A Psalm of David.
{29:1} Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
strength.
{29:2} Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD
in the beauty of holiness.
{29:3} The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of glory
thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.
{29:4} The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is]
full of majesty.
{29:5} The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
{29:6} He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like
a young unicorn.
{29:7} The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
{29:8} The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh
the wilderness of Kadesh.
{29:9} The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth
the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his]
glory.
{29:10} The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for
ever.
{29:11} The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will
bless his people with peace.
Psalm 30
A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of David.
{30:1} I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast
not made my foes to rejoice over me.
{30:2} O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
{30:3} O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
{30:4} Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
{30:5} For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
{30:6} And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
{30:7} LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
{30:8} I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
{30:9} What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
{30:10} Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
{30:11} Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put
off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
{30:12} To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
Psalm 31
{31:1} In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:

deliver me in thy righteousness.
{31:2} Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong
rock, for an house of defence to save me.
{31:3} For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s
sake lead me, and guide me.
{31:4} Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
thou [art] my strength.
{31:5} Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth.
{31:6} I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the
LORD.
{31:7} I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
{31:8} And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a large room.
{31:9} Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, [yea,] my soul and my belly.
{31:10} For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
consumed.
{31:11} I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see
me without fled from me.
{31:12} I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
{31:13} For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take
away my life.
{31:14} But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.
{31:15} My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me.
{31:16} Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies’ sake.
{31:17} Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let
the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave.
{31:18} Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
{31:19} [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for
them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that
trust in thee before the sons of men!
{31:20} Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
the strife of tongues.
{31:21} Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city.
{31:22} For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I
cried unto thee.
{31:23} O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth
the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
{31:24} Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.
Psalm 32
A [Psalm] of David, Maschil.
{32:1} Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin

[is] covered.
{32:2} Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
{32:3} When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.
{32:4} For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
{32:5} I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and
thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
{32:6} For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters
they shall not come nigh unto him.
{32:7} Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
{32:8} I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
{32:9} Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.
{32:10} Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in
the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
{32:11} Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
Psalm 33
{33:1} Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for

the upright.
{33:2} Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery [and]
an instrument of ten strings.
{33:3} Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
{33:4} For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are
done] in truth.
{33:5} He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
{33:6} By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host
of them by the breath of his mouth.
{33:7} He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
layeth up the depth in storehouses.
{33:8} Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
{33:9} For he spake, and it was [done;] he commanded, and it stood fast.
{33:10} The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
{33:11} The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
{33:12} Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD: [and] the
people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
{33:13} The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
{33:14} From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
{33:15} He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.
{33:16} There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by much strength.
{33:17} An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
[any] by his great strength.
{33:18} Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;
{33:19} To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.
{33:20} Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our shield.
{33:21} For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.
{33:22} Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
Psalm 34
A [Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who

drove him away, and he departed.
{34:1} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall]
continually [be] in my mouth.
{34:2} My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
[thereof,] and be glad.
{34:3} O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
{34:4} I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my
fears.
{34:5} They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
{34:6} This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him,] and saved him out
of all his troubles.
{34:7} The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
{34:8} O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man
[that] trusteth in him.
{34:9} O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them
that fear him.
{34:10} The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good [thing.
]{34:11} Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.
{34:12} What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days,
that he may see good?
{34:13} Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
{34:14} Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
{34:15} The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears
[are open] unto their cry.
{34:16} The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.
{34:17} [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them
out of all their troubles.
{34:18} The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
{34:19} Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of them all.
{34:20} He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
{34:21} Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
{34:22} The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.
Psalm 35
A [Psalm] of David.
{35:1} Plead [my cause,] O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight
against them that fight against me.
{35:2} Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
{35:3} Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that
persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
{35:4} Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul:
let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my
hurt.
{35:5} Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
LORD chase [them.
]{35:6} Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
LORD persecute them.
{35:7} For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit,
[which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
{35:8} Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that
he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him
fall.
{35:9} And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.
{35:10} All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the
poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
{35:11} False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things]
that I knew not.
{35:12} They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
{35:13} But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]
sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned
into mine own bosom.
{35:14} I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or]
brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his]
mother.
{35:15} But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves
together: [yea,] the abjects gathered themselves together against
me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me,] and ceased not:
{35:16} With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with
their teeth.
{35:17} Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions.
{35:18} I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will
praise thee among much people.
{35:19} Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
[neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
{35:20} For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
against [them that are] quiet in the land.
{35:21} Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen [it.
]{35:22} [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be
not far from me.
{35:23} Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my
cause, my God and my Lord.
{35:24} Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and
let them not rejoice over me.
{35:25} Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let
them not say, We have swallowed him up.
{35:26} Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and
dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.
{35:27} Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
{35:28} And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy
praise all the day long.
Psalm 36
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD.
{36:1} The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that

there is] no fear of God before his eyes.
{36:2} For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be
found to be hateful.
{36:3} The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left
off to be wise, [and] to do good.
{36:4} He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
[that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
{36:5} Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness
[reacheth] unto the clouds.
{36:6} Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments
[are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
{36:7} How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
{36:8} They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures.
{36:9} For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light.
{36:10} O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart.
{36:11} Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand
of the wicked remove me.
{36:12} There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.
Psalm 37
A [Psalm] of David.
{37:1} Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious

against the workers of iniquity.
{37:2} For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb.
{37:3} Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
{37:4} Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.
{37:5} Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
bring [it] to pass.
{37:6} And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
{37:7} Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.
{37:8} Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any
wise to do evil.
{37:9} For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
{37:10} For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be:] yea,
thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be.
]{37:11} But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
{37:12} The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth.
{37:13} The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
coming.
{37:14} The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of
upright conversation.
{37:15} Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
{37:16} A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches
of many wicked.
{37:17} For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous.
{37:18} The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
{37:19} They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.
{37:20} But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall
be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall
they consume away.
{37:21} The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.
{37:22} For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and
[they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
{37:23} The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.
{37:24} Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholdeth [him with] his hand.
{37:25} I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
{37:26} [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
{37:27} Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
{37:28} For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be
cut off.
{37:29} The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
ever.
{37:30} The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
{37:31} The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
{37:32} The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
{37:33} The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when
he is judged.
{37:34} Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it.
]{37:35} I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
{37:36} Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him,
but he could not be found.
{37:37} Mark the perfect [man,] and behold the upright: for the end of
[that] man [is] peace.
{37:38} But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
{37:39} But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is]
their strength in the time of trouble.
{37:40} And the LORD shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Psalm 38
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
{38:1} O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy

hot displeasure.
{38:2} For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
{38:3} [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
{38:4} For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden
they are too heavy for me.
{38:5} My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
{38:6} I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the
day long.
{38:7} For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease:] and [there
is] no soundness in my flesh.
{38:8} I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the
disquietness of my heart.
{38:9} Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid
from thee.
{38:10} My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of
mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
{38:11} My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
kinsmen stand afar off.
{38:12} They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me:] and they
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits
all the day long.
{38:13} But I, as a deaf [man,] heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man
[that] openeth not his mouth.
{38:14} Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are]
no reproofs.
{38:15} For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
{38:16} For I said, [Hear me,] lest [otherwise] they should rejoice
over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against
me.
{38:17} For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before
me.
{38:18} For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
{38:19} But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they
that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
{38:20} They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;
because I follow [the thing that] good [is.
]{38:21} Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
{38:22} Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
Psalm 39
To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
{39:1} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my
tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is
before me.
{39:2} I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and
my sorrow was stirred.
{39:3} My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
[then] spake I with my tongue,
{39:4} LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what
it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am.
]{39:5} Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine
age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best
state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
{39:6} Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches,] and knoweth not who
shall gather them.
{39:7} And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
{39:8} Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach
of the foolish.
{39:9} I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it.
]{39:10} Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of
thine hand.
{39:11} When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man
[is] vanity. Selah.
{39:12} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a
sojourner, as all my fathers [were.
]{39:13} O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence,
and be no more.
Psalm 40
{40:1} I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.
{40:2} He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
{40:3} And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto our
God: many shall see [it,] and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
{40:4} Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
{40:5} Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast
done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be
reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak
[of them,] they are more than can be numbered.
{40:6} Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not
required.
{40:7} Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is]
written of me,
{40:8} I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my
heart.
{40:9} I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
{40:10} I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed
thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
{40:11} Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy
lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
{40:12} For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they
are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth
me.
{40:13} Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
me.
{40:14} Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame
that wish me evil.
{40:15} Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
{40:16} Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let
such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
{40:17} But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me:
thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
Psalm 41
{41:1} Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.
{41:2} The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall
be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the
will of his enemies.
{41:3} The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
{41:4} I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
sinned against thee.
{41:5} Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name
perish?
{41:6} And if he come to see [me,] he speaketh vanity: his heart
gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth
[it.
]{41:7} All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
they devise my hurt.
{41:8} An evil disease, [say they,] cleaveth fast unto him: and [now]
that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
{41:9} Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat
of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
{41:10} But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
may requite them.
{41:11} By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me.
{41:12} And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest
me before thy face for ever.
{41:13} Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Psalm 42
Book II
To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.
{42:1} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.
{42:2} My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come
and appear before God?
{42:3} My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually
say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
{42:4} When I remember these [things,] I pour out my soul in me: for I
had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of
God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept
holyday.
{42:5} Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why [art] thou disquieted
in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the
help of his countenance.
{42:6} O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.
{42:7} Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy
waves and thy billows are gone over me.
{42:8} [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime,
and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer
unto the God of my life.
{42:9} I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go
I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
{42:10} [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while
they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?
{42:11} Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is]
the health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm 43
{43:1} Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
{43:2} For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me
off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
{43:3} O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
{43:4} Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy:
yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
{43:5} Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the
health of my countenance, and my God.
Psalm 44
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.
{44:1} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
[what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
{44:2} [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and
plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast
them out.
{44:3} For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and
thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a
favour unto them.
{44:4} Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
{44:5} Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name
will we tread them under that rise up against us.
{44:6} For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
{44:7} But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to
shame that hated us.
{44:8} In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.
Selah.
{44:9} But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth
with our armies.
{44:10} Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate
us spoil for themselves.
{44:11} Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast
scattered us among the heathen.
{44:12} Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase [thy
wealth] by their price.
{44:13} Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a
derision to them that are round about us.
{44:14} Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the
head among the people.
{44:15} My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my
face hath covered me,
{44:16} For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
reason of the enemy and avenger.
{44:17} All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
{44:18} Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined
from thy way;
{44:19} Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and
covered us with the shadow of death.
{44:20} If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our
hands to a strange god;
{44:21} Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of
the heart.
{44:22} Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
counted as sheep for the slaughter.
{44:23} Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for
ever.
{44:24} Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction
and our oppression?
{44:25} For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto
the earth.
{44:26} Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.
Psalm 45
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil,
A Song of loves.
{45:1} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which

I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the pen of a ready
writer.
{45:2} Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
{45:3} Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory
and thy majesty.
{45:4} And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee
terrible things.
{45:5} Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies;
[whereby] the people fall under thee.
{45:6} Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom [is] a right sceptre.
{45:7} Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God,
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
{45:8} All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia, out
of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
{45:9} Kings’ daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon thy
right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
{45:10} Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
{45:11} So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is] thy
Lord; and worship thou him.
{45:12} And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; [even]
the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
{45:13} The king’s daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing [is]
of wrought gold.
{45:14} She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:
the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto
thee.
{45:15} With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall
enter into the king’s palace.
{45:16} Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest
make princes in all the earth.
{45:17} I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
Psalm 46
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.
{46:1} God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
{46:2} Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and
though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
{46:3} [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the
mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
{46:4} [There is] a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city
of God, the holy [place] of the tabernacles of the most High.
{46:5} God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall
help her, [and that] right early.
{46:6} The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his
voice, the earth melted.
{46:7} The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our
refuge. Selah.
{46:8} Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath
made in the earth.
{46:9} He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh
the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot
in the fire.
{46:10} Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the
heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
{46:11} The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our
refuge. Selah.
Psalm 47
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
{47:1} O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice
of triumph.
{47:2} For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over
all the earth.
{47:3} He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our
feet.
{47:4} He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob
whom he loved. Selah.
{47:5} God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a
trumpet.
{47:6} Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King,
sing praises.
{47:7} For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with
understanding.
{47:8} God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of
his holiness.
{47:9} The princes of the people are gathered together, [even] the
people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth
[belong] unto God: he is greatly exalted.
Psalm 48
A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah.
{48:1} Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of
our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.
{48:2} Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount
Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
{48:3} God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
{48:4} For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
{48:5} They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and]
hasted away.
{48:6} Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in
travail.
{48:7} Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
{48:8} As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of
hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.
Selah.
{48:9} We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
thy temple.
{48:10} According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends
of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
{48:11} Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
{48:12} Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers
thereof.
{48:13} Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may
tell [it] to the generation following.
{48:14} For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our
guide [even] unto death.
Psalm 49
{49:1} Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of
the world:
{49:2} Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
{49:3} My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
[shall be] of understanding.
{49:4} I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying
upon the harp.
{49:5} Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity
of my heels shall compass me about?
{49:6} They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the
multitude of their riches;
{49:7} None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to
God a ransom for him:
{49:8} (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth
for ever:)
{49:9} That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
{49:10} For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
{49:11} Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall continue]
for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they
call [their] lands after their own names.
{49:12} Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like the
beasts [that] perish.
{49:13} This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve
their sayings. Selah.
{49:14} Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their
dwelling.
{49:15} But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he
shall receive me. Selah.
{49:16} Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his
house is increased;
{49:17} For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall
not descend after him.
{49:18} Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will
praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
{49:19} He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never
see light.
{49:20} Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the
beasts [that] perish.
Psalm 50
A Psalm of Asaph.
{50:1} The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath spoken, and called the
earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
{50:2} Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
{50:3} Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall
devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about
him.
{50:4} He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that
he may judge his people.
{50:5} Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a
covenant with me by sacrifice.
{50:6} And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is]
judge himself. Selah.
{50:7} Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will
testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
{50:8} I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
{50:9} I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of
thy folds.
{50:10} For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon
a thousand hills.
{50:11} I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of
the field [are] mine.
{50:12} If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is]
mine, and the fulness thereof.
{50:13} Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
{50:14} Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most
High:
{50:15} And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee,
and thou shalt glorify me.
{50:16} But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare
my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
mouth?
{50:17} Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind
thee.
{50:18} When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with adulterers.
{50:19} Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
{50:20} Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou
slanderest thine own mother’s son.
{50:21} These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but]
I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
{50:22} Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in
pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
{50:23} Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
[his] conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God.
Psalm 51
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came
unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
{51:1} Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
{51:2} Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
{51:3} For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before
me.
{51:4} Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in
thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
[and] be clear when thou judgest.
{51:5} Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
{51:6} Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
{51:7} Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall
be whiter than snow.
{51:8} Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou
hast broken may rejoice.
{51:9} Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
{51:10} Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
{51:11} Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
{51:12} Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with
thy] free spirit.
{51:13} [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall
be converted unto thee.
{51:14} Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
{51:15} O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.
{51:16} For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it:] thou
delightest not in burnt offering.
{51:17} The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
{51:18} Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
{51:19} Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then
shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Psalm 52
To the chief Musician, Maschil, A [Psalm] of David, when Doeg the

Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to
the house of Ahimelech.
{52:1} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the

goodness of God [endureth ]continually.
{52:2} Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working
deceitfully.
{52:3} Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to
speak righteousness. Selah.
{52:4} Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
{52:5} God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee
out of the land of the living. Selah.
{52:6} The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
{52:7} Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but
trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
{52:8} But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust
in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
{52:9} I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it:] and I
will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
Psalm 53
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A [Psalm] of David.

{53:1} The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that
doeth good.
{53:2} God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if
there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.
{53:3} Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
{53:4} Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people
[as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
{53:5} There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God hath
scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou
hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them.
{53:6} Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! When
God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
Psalm 54
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A [Psalm] of David, when

the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself
with us?
{54:1} Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
{54:2} Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
{54:3} For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after
my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
{54:4} Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that
uphold my soul.
{54:5} He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy
truth.
{54:6} I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O
LORD; for [it is] good.
{54:7} For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath
seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.
Psalm 55
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A [Psalm] of David.
{55:1} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my
supplication.
{55:2} Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a
noise;
{55:3} Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of
the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they
hate me.
{55:4} My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are
fallen upon me.
{55:5} Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath
overwhelmed me.
{55:6} And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I
fly away, and be at rest.
{55:7} Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the
wilderness. Selah.
{55:8} I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
{55:9} Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen
violence and strife in the city.
{55:10} Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief
also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
{55:11} Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart
not from her streets.
{55:12} For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could
have borne [it:] neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did
magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from
him:
{55:13} But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
acquaintance.
{55:14} We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of
God in company.
{55:15} Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into
hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, [and] among them.
{55:16} As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
{55:17} Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
{55:18} He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was]
against me: for there were many with me.
{55:19} God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.
Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
{55:20} He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with
him: he hath broken his covenant.
{55:21} [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war
[was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were]
they drawn swords.
{55:22} Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he
shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
{55:23} But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
their days; but I will trust in thee.
Psalm 56
To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when

the Philistines took him in Gath.
{56:1} Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he
fighting daily oppresseth me.
{56:2} Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many
that fight against me, O thou most High.
{56:3} What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
{56:4} In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I
will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
{56:5} Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against
me for evil.
{56:6} They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark
my steps, when they wait for my soul.
{56:7} Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the
people, O God.
{56:8} Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
[are they] not in thy book?
{56:9} When I cry [unto thee,] then shall mine enemies turn back: this
I know; for God [is] for me.
{56:10} In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise
[his] word.
{56:11} In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can
do unto me.
{56:12} Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
{56:13} For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou
deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the
light of the living?
Psalm 57
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from

Saul in the cave.
{57:1} Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul
trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my
refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
{57:2} I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all
things] for me.
{57:3} He shall send from heaven, and save [from] the reproach of him
that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy
and his truth.
{57:4} My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are
set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and
arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
{57:5} Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be]
above all the earth.
{57:6} They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are
fallen [themselves.] Selah.
{57:7} My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and
give praise.
{57:8} Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will
awake early.
{57:9} I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
{57:10} For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the
clouds.
{57:11} Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be]
above all the earth.
Psalm 58
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.
{58:1} Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge

uprightly, O ye sons of men?
{58:2} Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your
hands in the earth.
{58:3} The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon
as they be born, speaking lies.
{58:4} Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like
the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
{58:5} Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never
so wisely.
{58:6} Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great
teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
{58:7} Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually: [when] he
bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in
pieces.
{58:8} As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass away:
[like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the
sun.
{58:9} Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as
with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
{58:10} The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he
shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
{58:11} So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the
righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Psalm 59
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent,

and they watched the house to kill him.
{59:1} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that
rise up against me.
{59:2} Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
{59:3} For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered
against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
{59:4} They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to
help me, and behold.
{59:5} Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to
visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked
transgressors. Selah.
{59:6} They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
{59:7} Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their
lips: for who, [say they,] doth hear?
{59:8} But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the
heathen in derision.
{59:9} [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my
defence.
{59:10} The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my
desire] upon mine enemies.
{59:11} Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy
power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
{59:12} [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let
them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying
[which] they speak.
{59:13} Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them,] that they [may] not
[be:] and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of
the earth. Selah.
{59:14} And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise
like a dog, and go round about the city.
{59:15} Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not
satisfied.
{59:16} But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in
the day of my trouble.
{59:17} Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence,
[and] the God of my mercy.
Psalm 60
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach;

when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab
returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.
{60:1} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast
been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
{60:2} Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal
the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
{60:3} Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to
drink the wine of astonishment.
{60:4} Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth. Selah.
{60:5} That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand,
and hear me.
{60:6} God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
{60:7} Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the
strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
{60:8} Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
{60:9} Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom?
{60:10} [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and [thou,]
O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?
{60:11} Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
{60:12} Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall
tread down our enemies.
Psalm 61
To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A [Psalm] of David.
{61:1} Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

{61:2} From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is
overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
{61:3} For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from
the enemy.
{61:4} I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the
covert of thy wings. Selah.
{61:5} For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the
heritage of those that fear thy name.
{61:6} Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: [and] his years as many
generations.
{61:7} He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,
[which] may preserve him.
{61:8} So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily
perform my vows.
Psalm 62
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
{62:1} Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
{62:2} He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I
shall not be greatly moved.
{62:3} How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be
slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a
tottering fence.
{62:4} They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency: they
delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse
inwardly. Selah.
{62:5} My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from
him.
{62:6} He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I
shall not be moved.
{62:7} In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,
[and] my refuge, [is] in God.
{62:8} Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart
before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
{62:9} Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high degree
[are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether
[lighter] than vanity.
{62:10} Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if
riches increase, set not your heart [upon them.
]{62:11} God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power
[belongeth] unto God.
{62:12} Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou renderest
to every man according to his work.
Psalm 63
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
{63:1} O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
thirsty land, where no water is;
{63:2} To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the
sanctuary.
{63:3} Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall
praise thee.
{63:4} Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in
thy name.
{63:5} My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my
mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
{63:6} When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the
[night] watches.
{63:7} Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy
wings will I rejoice.
{63:8} My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
{63:9} But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it,] shall go into
the lower parts of the earth.
{63:10} They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
{63:11} But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by
him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be
stopped.
Psalm 64
{64:1} Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear

of the enemy.
{64:2} Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
{64:3} Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to
shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
{64:4} That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they
shoot at him, and fear not.
{64:5} They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of
laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
{64:6} They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search:
both the inward [thought] of every one [of them,] and the heart,
[is] deep.
{64:7} But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they
be wounded.
{64:8} So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all
that see them shall flee away.
{64:9} And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for
they shall wisely consider of his doing.
{64:10} The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in
him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Psalm 65
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [and] Song of David.
{65:1} Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the
vow be performed.
{65:2} O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
{65:3} Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions, thou
shalt purge them away.
{65:4} Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach
[unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be
satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy
temple.
{65:5} By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God
of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the
earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:
{65:6} Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being] girded
with power:
{65:7} Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves,
and the tumult of the people.
{65:8} They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy
tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to
rejoice.
{65:9} Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest
it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou
preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
{65:10} Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the
furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest
the springing thereof.
{65:11} Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop
fatness.
{65:12} They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the little
hills rejoice on every side.
{65:13} The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalm 66
To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm.
{66:1} Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

{66:2} Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
{66:3} Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto
thee.
{66:4} All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they
shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.
{66:5} Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing
toward the children of men.
{66:6} He turned the sea into dry [land:] they went through the flood
on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
{66:7} He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
{66:8} O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to
be heard:
{66:9} Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be
moved.
{66:10} For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver
is tried.
{66:11} Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon
our loins.
{66:12} Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through
fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy
[place.
]{66:13} I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee
my vows,
{66:14} Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I
was in trouble.
{66:15} I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the
incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
{66:16} Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what
he hath done for my soul.
{66:17} I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
tongue.
{66:18} If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me:
]{66:19} [But] verily God hath heard [me;] he hath attended to the
voice of my prayer.
{66:20} Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his
mercy from me.
Psalm 67
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song.
{67:1} God be merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to
shine upon us; Selah.
{67:2} That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among
all nations.
{67:3} Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
{67:4} O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
{67:5} Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
{67:6} [Then] shall the earth yield her increase; [and] God, [even] our
own God, shall bless us.
{67:7} God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Psalm 68
To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David.
{68:1} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that
hate him flee before him.
{68:2} As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth
before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of
God.
{68:3} But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea,
let them exceedingly rejoice.
{68:4} Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth
upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
{68:5} A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God
in his holy habitation.
{68:6} God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those
which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
[land.
]{68:7} O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
{68:8} The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of
God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the
God of Israel.
{68:9} Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst
confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
{68:10} Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared
of thy goodness for the poor.
{68:11} The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those that
published [it.
]{68:12} Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home
divided the spoil.
{68:13} Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the
wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow
gold.
{68:14} When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow
in Salmon.
{68:15} The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as]
the hill of Bashan.
{68:16} Why leap ye, ye high hills? [this is] the hill [which] God
desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
{68:17} The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands of
angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy
[place.
]{68:18} Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:
thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also,
that the LORD God might dwell [among them.
]{68:19} Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits,
even] the God of our salvation. Selah.
{68:20} [He that is] our God [is] the God of salvation; and unto God
the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
{68:21} But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy
scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
{68:22} The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [my
people] again from the depths of the sea:
{68:23} That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine] enemies,
[and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
{68:24} They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my God,
my King, in the sanctuary.
{68:25} The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed]
after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.
{68:26} Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from the
fountain of Israel.
{68:27} There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler, the princes of
Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the
princes of Naphtali.
{68:28} Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that
which thou hast wrought for us.
{68:29} Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents
unto thee.
{68:30} Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls,
with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself
with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in
war.
{68:31} Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch
out her hands unto God.
{68:32} Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto
the Lord; Selah:
{68:33} To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which were] of
old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
{68:34} Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over Israel,
and his strength [is] in the clouds.
{68:35} O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of
Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people.
Blessed [be] God.
Psalm 69
To chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A [Psalm] of David.
{69:1} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
{69:2} I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come
into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
{69:3} I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail
while I wait for my God.
{69:4} They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of
mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies
wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not
away.
{69:5} O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from
thee.
{69:6} Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed
for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my
sake, O God of Israel.
{69:7} Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered
my face.
{69:8} I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my
mother’s children.
{69:9} For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches
of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
{69:10} When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to
my reproach.
{69:11} I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to
them.
{69:12} They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the
song of the drunkards.
{69:13} But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an
acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in
the truth of thy salvation.
{69:14} Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
{69:15} Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep
swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
{69:16} Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me
according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
{69:17} And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:
hear me speedily.
{69:18} Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of
mine enemies.
{69:19} Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
{69:20} Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and
I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for
comforters, but I found none.
{69:21} They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave
me vinegar to drink.
{69:22} Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which
should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.
{69:23} Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their
loins continually to shake.
{69:24} Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
anger take hold of them.
{69:25} Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their
tents.
{69:26} For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk
to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
{69:27} Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into
thy righteousness.
{69:28} Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be
written with the righteous.
{69:29} But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me
up on high.
{69:30} I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him
with thanksgiving.
{69:31} [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or]
bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
{69:32} The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall
live that seek God.
{69:33} For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
{69:34} Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing
that moveth therein.
{69:35} For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:
that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
{69:36} The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that
love his name shall dwell therein.
Psalm 70
To the chief Musician, A [Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance.
{70:1} [Make haste,] O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O
LORD.
{70:2} Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let
them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my
hurt.
{70:3} Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say,
Aha, aha.
{70:4} Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and
let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be
magnified.
{70:5} But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art]
my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Psalm 71
{71:1} In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to

confusion.
{71:2} Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline
thine ear unto me, and save me.
{71:3} Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my
rock and my fortress.
{71:4} Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the
hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
{71:5} For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my
youth.
{71:6} By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that
took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise [shall be]
continually of thee.
{71:7} I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
{71:8} Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour
all the day.
{71:9} Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my
strength faileth.
{71:10} For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for
my soul take counsel together,
{71:11} Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
[there is] none to deliver [him.
]{71:12} O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
{71:13} Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to
my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that
seek my hurt.
{71:14} But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and
more.
{71:15} My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof.
]{71:16} I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention
of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
{71:17} O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I
declared thy wondrous works.
{71:18} Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
until I have shewed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and]
thy power to every one [that] is to come.
{71:19} Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done
great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
{71:20} [Thou,] which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of
the earth.
{71:21} Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
{71:22} I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O
my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of
Israel.
{71:23} My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my
soul, which thou hast redeemed.
{71:24} My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame,
that seek my hurt.
Psalm 72
A [Psalm] for Solomon.
{72:1} Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto
the king’s son.
{72:2} He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with
judgment.
{72:3} The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little
hills, by righteousness.
{72:4} He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
{72:5} They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
{72:6} He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
[that] water the earth.
{72:7} In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace
so long as the moon endureth.
{72:8} He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river
unto the ends of the earth.
{72:9} They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his
enemies shall lick the dust.
{72:10} The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
{72:11} Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall
serve him.
{72:12} For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also,
and [him] that hath no helper.
{72:13} He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of
the needy.
{72:14} He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
precious shall their blood be in his sight.
{72:15} And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of
Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily
shall he be praised.
{72:16} There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of
the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
[they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
{72:17} His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as
long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations
shall call him blessed.
{72:18} Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth
wondrous things.
{72:19} And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole
earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
{72:20} The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
Psalm 73
Book III
A Psalm of Asaph.
{73:1} Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean
heart.
{73:2} But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh
slipped.
{73:3} For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of
the wicked.
{73:4} For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is]
firm.
{73:5} They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they
plagued like [other] men.
{73:6} Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
covereth them [as] a garment.
{73:7} Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart
could wish.
{73:8} They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression:
they speak loftily.
{73:9} They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
walketh through the earth.
{73:10} Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup]
are wrung out to them.
{73:11} And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?
{73:12} Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase [in] riches.
{73:13} Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands
in innocency.
{73:14} For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
{73:15} If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against]
the generation of thy children.
{73:16} When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
{73:17} Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I
their end.
{73:18} Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst
them down into destruction.
{73:19} How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they
are utterly consumed with terrors.
{73:20} As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so,] O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
{73:21} Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
{73:22} So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before
thee.
{73:23} Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden
[me] by my right hand.
{73:24} Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
[to] glory.
{73:25} Whom have I in heaven [but thee?] and [there is] none upon
earth [that] I desire beside thee.
{73:26} My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of
my heart, and my portion for ever.
{73:27} For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
{73:28} But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my
trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Psalm 74
Maschil of Asaph.
{74:1} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? [why] doth thine
anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
{74:2} Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old;
the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this
mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
{74:3} Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all
[that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
{74:4} Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set
up their ensigns [for] signs.
{74:5} [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the
thick trees.
{74:6} But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with
axes and hammers.
{74:7} They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by
casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
{74:8} They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they
have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
{74:9} We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither
[is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
{74:10} O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy
blaspheme thy name for ever?
{74:11} Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it]
out of thy bosom.
{74:12} For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of
the earth.
{74:13} Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the
heads of the dragons in the waters.
{74:14} Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him
[to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
{74:15} Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up
mighty rivers.
{74:16} The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast
prepared the light and the sun.
{74:17} Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made
summer and winter.
{74:18} Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and
[that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
{74:19} O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of
the wicked:] forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
{74:20} Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the
earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
{74:21} O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy
praise thy name.
{74:22} Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish
man reproacheth thee daily.
{74:23} Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that
rise up against thee increaseth continually.
Psalm 75
To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph.
{75:1} Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give

thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
{75:2} When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
{75:3} The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear
up the pillars of it. Selah.
{75:4} I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked,
Lift not up the horn:
{75:5} Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck.
{75:6} For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor from the south.
{75:7} But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
another.
{75:8} For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is
red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but
the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them]
out, [and] drink [them.
]{75:9} But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of
Jacob.
{75:10} All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the
horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Psalm 76
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph.
{76:1} In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
{76:2} In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
{76:3} There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword,
and the battle. Selah.
{76:4} Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of
prey.
{76:5} The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and
none of the men of might have found their hands.
{76:6} At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are
cast into a dead sleep.
{76:7} Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in thy
sight when once thou art angry?
{76:8} Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth
feared, and was still,
{76:9} When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
Selah.
{76:10} Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of
wrath shalt thou restrain.
{76:11} Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round
about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
{76:12} He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the
kings of the earth.
Psalm 77
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
{77:1} I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice;
and he gave ear unto me.
{77:2} In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the
night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
{77:3} I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit
was overwhelmed. Selah.
{77:4} Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot
speak.
{77:5} I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
{77:6} I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine
own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
{77:7} Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no
more?
{77:8} Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail for
evermore?
{77:9} Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his
tender mercies? Selah.
{77:10} And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember] the
years of the right hand of the most High.
{77:11} I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember
thy wonders of old.
{77:12} I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
{77:13} Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God
as [our] God?
{77:14} Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy
strength among the people.
{77:15} Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of
Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
{77:16} The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were
afraid: the depths also were troubled.
{77:17} The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine
arrows also went abroad.
{77:18} The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the lightnings
lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
{77:19} Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and
thy footsteps are not known.
{77:20} Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
Psalm 78
Maschil of Asaph.
{78:1} Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the
words of my mouth.
{78:2} I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of
old:
{78:3} Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
{78:4} We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the
generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and
his wonderful works that he hath done.
{78:5} For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in
Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make
them known to their children:
{78:6} That the generation to come might know [them, even] the children
[which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to
their children:
{78:7} That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works
of God, but keep his commandments:
{78:8} And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious
generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and
whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
{78:9} The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows,
turned back in the day of battle.
{78:10} They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
law;
{78:11} And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
{78:12} Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the
land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
{78:13} He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he
made the waters to stand as an heap.
{78:14} In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night
with a light of fire.
{78:15} He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as
[out of] the great depths.
{78:16} He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to
run down like rivers.
{78:17} And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High
in the wilderness.
{78:18} And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their
lust.
{78:19} Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table
in the wilderness?
{78:20} Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the
streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh
for his people?
{78:21} Therefore the LORD heard [this,] and was wroth: so a fire was
kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
{78:22} Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his
salvation:
{78:23} Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the
doors of heaven,
{78:24} And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them
of the corn of heaven.
{78:25} Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.
{78:26} He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power
he brought in the south wind.
{78:27} He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls
like as the sand of the sea:
{78:28} And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round about
their habitations.
{78:29} So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their
own desire;
{78:30} They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
[was] yet in their mouths,
{78:31} The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
{78:32} For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
wondrous works.
{78:33} Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years
in trouble.
{78:34} When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and
enquired early after God.
{78:35} And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high God
their redeemer.
{78:36} Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they
lied unto him with their tongues.
{78:37} For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
stedfast in his covenant.
{78:38} But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity,
and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger
away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
{78:39} For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that
passeth away, and cometh not again.
{78:40} How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve
him in the desert!
{78:41} Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One
of Israel.
{78:42} They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered
them from the enemy.
{78:43} How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the
field of Zoan:
{78:44} And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that
they could not drink.
{78:45} He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them.
{78:46} He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their
labour unto the locust.
{78:47} He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees
with frost.
{78:48} He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to
hot thunderbolts.
{78:49} He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them.
]{78:50} He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from
death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
{78:51} And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their]
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
{78:52} But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them
in the wilderness like a flock.
{78:53} And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies.
{78:54} And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even to]
this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
{78:55} He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in
their tents.
{78:56} Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not
his testimonies:
{78:57} But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
{78:58} For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
{78:59} When God heard [this,] he was wroth, and greatly abhorred
Israel:
{78:60} So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent [which]
he placed among men;
{78:61} And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into
the enemy’s hand.
{78:62} He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with
his inheritance.
{78:63} The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not
given to marriage.
{78:64} Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
lamentation.
{78:65} Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a mighty
man that shouteth by reason of wine.
{78:66} And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach.
{78:67} Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the
tribe of Ephraim:
{78:68} But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
{78:69} And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces,] like the earth
which he hath established for ever.
{78:70} He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:
{78:71} From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
{78:72} So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Psalm 79
A Psalm of Asaph.
{79:1} O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy
temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
{79:2} The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat
unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the
beasts of the earth.
{79:3} Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
[there was] none to bury [them.
]{79:4} We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
derision to them that are round about us.
{79:5} How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy
burn like fire?
{79:6} Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,
and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
{79:7} For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
{79:8} O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
{79:9} Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
{79:10} Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him
be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the
blood of thy servants [which is] shed.
{79:11} Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed
to die;
{79:12} And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
{79:13} So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks
for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
Psalm 80
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
{80:1} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a
flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.
{80:2} Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
and come [and] save us.
{80:3} Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
{80:4} O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
prayer of thy people?
{80:5} Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears
to drink in great measure.
{80:6} Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
laugh among themselves.
{80:7} Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and
we shall be saved.
{80:8} Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it.
{80:9} Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take
deep root, and it filled the land.
{80:10} The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs
thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.
{80:11} She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the
river.
{80:12} Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they
which pass by the way do pluck her?
{80:13} The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of
the field doth devour it.
{80:14} Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven,
and behold, and visit this vine;
{80:15} And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.
{80:16} [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the
rebuke of thy countenance.
{80:17} Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of
man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.
{80:18} So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call
upon thy name.
{80:19} Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.
Psalm 81
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, a Psalm of Asaph.
{81:1} Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob.
{81:2} Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp
with the psaltery.
{81:3} Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
our solemn feast day.
{81:4} For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of
Jacob.
{81:5} This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out
through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I
understood not.
{81:6} I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered
from the pots.
{81:7} Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee
in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of
Meribah. Selah.
{81:8} Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me;
{81:9} There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
worship any strange god.
{81:10} I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
{81:11} But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would
none of me.
{81:12} So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: [and] they
walked in their own counsels.
{81:13} Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had
walked in my ways!
{81:14} I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand
against their adversaries.
{81:15} The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto
him: but their time should have endured for ever.
{81:16} He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and
with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Psalm 82
A Psalm of Asaph.
{82:1} God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among

the gods.
{82:2} How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
{82:3} Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and
needy.
{82:4} Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the
wicked.
{82:5} They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
{82:6} I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the
most High.
{82:7} But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
{82:8} Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
nations.
Psalm 83
A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph.
{83:1} Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
still, O God.
{83:2} For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
{83:3} They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
{83:4} They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a
nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
{83:5} For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee:
{83:6} The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
{83:7} Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
{83:8} Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of
Lot. Selah.
{83:9} Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to]
Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
{83:10} [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the earth.
{83:11} Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
{83:12} Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
{83:13} O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
wind.
{83:14} As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
{83:15} So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with
thy storm.
{83:16} Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
LORD.
{83:17} Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be
put to shame, and perish:
{83:18} That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH,
[art] the most high over all the earth.
Psalm 84
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
{84:1} How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

{84:2} My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD:
my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
{84:3} Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD
of hosts, my King, and my God.
{84:4} Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
praising thee. Selah.
{84:5} Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart
[are] the ways [of them.
]{84:6} [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the
rain also filleth the pools.
{84:7} They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion
appeareth before God.
{84:8} O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah.
{84:9} Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
anointed.
{84:10} For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in
the tents of wickedness.
{84:11} For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give
grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that
walk uprightly.
{84:12} O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalm 85
{85:1} LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought
back the captivity of Jacob.
{85:2} Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered
all their sin. Selah.
{85:3} Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself]
from the fierceness of thine anger.
{85:4} Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us
to cease.
{85:5} Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine
anger to all generations?
{85:6} Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
thee?
{85:7} Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
{85:8} I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak
peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn
again to folly.
{85:9} Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory
may dwell in our land.
{85:10} Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have
kissed [each other.
]{85:11} Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall
look down from heaven.
{85:12} Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our land
shall yield her increase.
{85:13} Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the
way of his steps.
Psalm 86
A Prayer of David.
{86:1} Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
{86:2} Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy
servant that trusteth in thee.
{86:3} Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
{86:4} Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I
lift up my soul.
{86:5} For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous
in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
{86:6} Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
{86:7} In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt
answer me.
{86:8} Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
[are there any works] like unto thy works.
{86:9} All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before
thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
{86:10} For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God
alone.
{86:11} Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
heart to fear thy name.
{86:12} I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I
will glorify thy name for evermore.
{86:13} For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my
soul from the lowest hell.
{86:14} O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of
violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee
before them.
{86:15} But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
{86:16} O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto
thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
{86:17} Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it,]
and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted
me.
Psalm 87
A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah.
{87:1} His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

{87:2} The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of
Jacob.
{87:3} Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
{87:4} I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born
there.
{87:5} And of Zion it shall be said, This and [that man] was born in
her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
{87:6} The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this
man was born there. Selah.
{87:7} As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be
there:] all my springs [are] in thee.
Psalm 88
A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon
Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
{88:1} O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before
thee:
{88:2} Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
{88:3} For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto
the grave.
{88:4} I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man
[that hath] no strength:
{88:5} Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom
thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
{88:6} Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
{88:7} Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with
all thy waves. Selah.
{88:8} Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made
me an abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come
forth.
{88:9} Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called
daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
{88:10} Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and]
praise thee? Selah.
{88:11} Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy
faithfulness in destruction?
{88:12} Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
in the land of forgetfulness?
{88:13} But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my
prayer prevent thee.
{88:14} LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face
from me?
{88:15} I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I
suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
{88:16} Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
{88:17} They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
about together.
{88:18} Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine
acquaintance into darkness.
Psalm 89
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
{89:1} I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth
will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
{89:2} For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
{89:3} I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David
my servant,
{89:4} Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to
all generations. Selah.
{89:5} And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
{89:6} For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? [who] among
the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
{89:7} 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.
{89:8} O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto thee? or
to thy faithfulness round about thee?
{89:9} Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise,
thou stillest them.
{89:10} Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou
hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
{89:11} The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as for]
the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
{89:12} The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and
Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
{89:13} Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is thy
right hand.
{89:14} Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy
and truth shall go before thy face.
{89:15} Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they shall
walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
{89:16} In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
righteousness shall they be exalted.
{89:17} For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy favour
our horn shall be exalted.
{89:18} For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is]
our king.
{89:19} 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.
{89:20} I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed
him:
{89:21} With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
strengthen him.
{89:22} The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness
afflict him.
{89:23} And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them
that hate him.
{89:24} But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him: and in my
name shall his horn be exalted.
{89:25} I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers.
{89:26} He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and the
rock of my salvation.
{89:27} Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the kings of
the earth.
{89:28} My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant
shall stand fast with him.
{89:29} His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his throne
as the days of heaven.
{89:30} If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
{89:31} If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
{89:32} Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their
iniquity with stripes.
{89:33} Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from
him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
{89:34} My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips.
{89:35} Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
{89:36} His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
before me.
{89:37} It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a
faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
{89:38} But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with
thine anointed.
{89:39} Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast
profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
{89:40} Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his
strong holds to ruin.
{89:41} All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his
neighbours.
{89:42} Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast
made all his enemies to rejoice.
{89:43} Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made
him to stand in the battle.
{89:44} Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to
the ground.
{89:45} The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered
him with shame. Selah.
{89:46} How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy
wrath burn like fire?
{89:47} Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men
in vain?
{89:48} What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death? shall he
deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
{89:49} Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which] thou
swarest unto David in thy truth?
{89:50} Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I do bear
in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
{89:51} Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they
have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
{89:52} Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Psalm 90
Book IV
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
{90:1} LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
{90:2} Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou [art] God.
{90:3} Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children
of men.
{90:4} For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it
is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
{90:5} Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep:
in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
{90:6} In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it
is cut down, and withereth.
{90:7} For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled.
{90:8} Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in
the light of thy countenance.
{90:9} For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
years as a tale [that is told.
]{90:10} The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if
by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their
strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly
away.
{90:11} Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy
fear, [so is] thy wrath.
{90:12} So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our]
hearts unto wisdom.
{90:13} Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
{90:14} O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be
glad all our days.
{90:15} Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast
afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
{90:16} Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
{90:17} And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and
establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of
our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 91
{91:1} He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
{91:2} I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my
God; in him will I trust.
{91:3} Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and]
from the noisome pestilence.
{91:4} He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
{91:5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the
arrow [that] flieth by day;
{91:6} [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for
the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.
{91:7} A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
{91:8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
{91:9} Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even]
the most High, thy habitation;
{91:10} There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
{91:11} For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
{91:12} They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy
foot against a stone.
{91:13} Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and
the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
{91:14} Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
{91:15} He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
{91:16} With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm 92
A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day.
{92:1} [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing
praises unto thy name, O most High:
{92:2} To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night,
{92:3} Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
the harp with a solemn sound.
{92:4} For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will
triumph in the works of thy hands.
{92:5} O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very
deep.
{92:6} A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
{92:7} 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:
{92:8} But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.
{92:9} For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall
perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
{92:10} But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I
shall be anointed with fresh oil.
{92:11} Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies, [and] mine
ears shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.
{92:12} The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow
like a cedar in Lebanon.
{92:13} Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish
in the courts of our God.
{92:14} They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be
fat and flourishing;
{92:15} To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there
is] no unrighteousness in him.
Psalm 93
{93:1} The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is

clothed with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself: the
world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
{93:2} Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from everlasting.
{93:3} The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up
their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
{93:4} The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters,
[yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.
{93:5} Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O
LORD, for ever.
Psalm 94
{94:1} O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom

vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
{94:2} Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the
proud.
{94:3} LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
triumph?
{94:4} [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all
the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
{94:5} They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
heritage.
{94:6} They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
{94:7} Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of
Jacob regard [it.
]{94:8} Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when
will ye be wise?
{94:9} He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the
eye, shall he not see?
{94:10} He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that
teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know?
]{94:11} The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
{94:12} Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest
him out of thy law;
{94:13} That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit be digged for the wicked.
{94:14} For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he
forsake his inheritance.
{94:15} But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the
upright in heart shall follow it.
{94:16} Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will
stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
{94:17} Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
silence.
{94:18} When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
{94:19} In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight
my soul.
{94:20} Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?
{94:21} They gather themselves together against the soul of the
righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
{94:22} But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my
refuge.
{94:23} 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.
Psalm 95
{95:1} O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to
the rock of our salvation.
{95:2} Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms.
{95:3} For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.
{95:4} In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of
the hills [is] his also.
{95:5} The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry
[land.
]{95:6} O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the
LORD our maker.
{95:7} 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,
{95:8} Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and as in] the
day of temptation in the wilderness:
{95:9} When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
{95:10} 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:
{95:11} Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into
my rest.
Psalm 96
{96:1} O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the
earth.
{96:2} Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation
from day to day.
{96:3} Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
people.
{96:4} For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to
be feared above all gods.
{96:5} For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made
the heavens.
{96:6} Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are]
in his sanctuary.
{96:7} Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the
LORD glory and strength.
{96:8} Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an
offering, and come into his courts.
{96:9} O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him,
all the earth.
{96:10} Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also
shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge
the people righteously.
{96:11} Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea
roar, and the fulness thereof.
{96:12} Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein: then shall
all the trees of the wood rejoice
{96:13} 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.
Psalm 97
{97:1} The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of
isles be glad [thereof.
]{97:2} Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and
judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
{97:3} A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
{97:4} His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
trembled.
{97:5} The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the
presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
{97:6} The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see
his glory.
{97:7} Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.
{97:8} Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of thy judgments, O LORD.
{97:9} For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art exalted
far above all gods.
{97:10} Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of
his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
{97:11} Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright
in heart.
{97:12} Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
Psalm 98
A Psalm.
{98:1} O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous
things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the
victory.
{98:2} The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath
he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
{98:3} He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of
Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our
God.
{98:4} Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud
noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
{98:5} Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice
of a psalm.
{98:6} With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the
LORD, the King.
{98:7} Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they
that dwell therein.
{98:8} Let the floods clap [their] hands: let the hills be joyful
together
{98:9} Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with
righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with
equity.
Psalm 99
{99:1} The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth [between]
the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
{99:2} The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all the
people.
{99:3} Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.
{99:4} The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish
equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
{99:5} Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for]
he [is] holy.
{99:6} Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that
call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered
them.
{99:7} He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.
{99:8} Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that
forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
{99:9} Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the
LORD our God [is] holy.
Psalm 100
A Psalm of praise.
{100:1} Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

{100:2} Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with
singing.
{100:3} Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made
us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of
his pasture.
{100:4} Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts
with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.
{100:5} For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his
truth [endureth] to all generations.
Psalm 101
A Psalm of David.
{101:1} I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I
sing.
{101:2} I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou
come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
{101:3} I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of
them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.
{101:4} A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
[person.
]{101:5} Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:
him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
{101:6} Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they
may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall
serve me.
{101:7} He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
{101:8} I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut
off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Psalm 102
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his

complaint before the LORD.
{102:1} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
{102:2} 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.
{102:3} For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as
an hearth.
{102:4} My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget
to eat my bread.
{102:5} By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
skin.
{102:6} I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
desert.
{102:7} I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
{102:8} Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad
against me are sworn against me.
{102:9} For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
weeping,
{102:10} Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast
lifted me up, and cast me down.
{102:11} My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered
like grass.
{102:12} But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance
unto all generations.
{102:13} Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
{102:14} For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the
dust thereof.
{102:15} So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the
kings of the earth thy glory.
{102:16} When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his
glory.
{102:17} He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
{102:18} This shall be written for the generation to come: and the
people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
{102:19} For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from
heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
{102:20} To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
appointed to death;
{102:21} To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
Jerusalem;
{102:22} When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
serve the LORD.
{102:23} He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
{102:24} I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
thy years [are] throughout all generations.
{102:25} Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the
heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
{102:26} They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them
shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change
them, and they shall be changed:
{102:27} But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.
{102:28} The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed
shall be established before thee.
Psalm 103
A [Psalm] of David.
{103:1} Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless]
his holy name.
{103:2} Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
{103:3} Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases;
{103:4} Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies;
{103:5} Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth
is renewed like the eagle’s.
{103:6} The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed.
{103:7} He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children
of Israel.
{103:8} The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
plenteous in mercy.
{103:9} He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for
ever.
{103:10} He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities.
{103:11} For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his
mercy toward them that fear him.
{103:12} As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed
our transgressions from us.
{103:13} Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth
them that fear him.
{103:14} For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.
{103:15} [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the
field, so he flourisheth.
{103:16} For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place
thereof shall know it no more.
{103:17} But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting
upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s
children;
{103:18} To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.
{103:19} The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his
kingdom ruleth over all.
{103:20} Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do
his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
{103:21} Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his,
that do his pleasure.
{103:22} Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:
bless the LORD, O my soul.
Psalm 104
{104:1} Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
{104:2} Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who
stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
{104:3} Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh
the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
{104:4} Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
{104:5} [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not
be removed for ever.
{104:6} Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters
stood above the mountains.
{104:7} At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
hasted away.
{104:8} They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto
the place which thou hast founded for them.
{104:9} Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they
turn not again to cover the earth.
{104:10} He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the
hills.
{104:11} They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses
quench their thirst.
{104:12} By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
[which] sing among the branches.
{104:13} He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
{104:14} 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;
{104:15} And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to
make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man’s
heart.
{104:16} The trees of the LORD are full [of sap;] the cedars of
Lebanon, which he hath planted;
{104:17} Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir
trees [are] her house.
{104:18} The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the
rocks for the conies.
{104:19} He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
down.
{104:20} Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts
of the forest do creep [forth.
]{104:21} The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat
from God.
{104:22} The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them
down in their dens.
{104:23} Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the
evening.
{104:24} O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made
them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
{104:25} [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping
innumerable, both small and great beasts.
{104:26} There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou
hast made to play therein.
{104:27} These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their
meat in due season.
{104:28} [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand,
they are filled with good.
{104:29} Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away
their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
{104:30} Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou
renewest the face of the earth.
{104:31} The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall
rejoice in his works.
{104:32} He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the
hills, and they smoke.
{104:33} I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
{104:34} My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the
LORD.
{104:35} Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the
wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalm 105
{105:1} O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his
deeds among the people.
{105:2} Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his
wondrous works.
{105:3} Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the LORD.
{105:4} Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
{105:5} Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders,
and the judgments of his mouth;
{105:6} O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his
chosen.
{105:7} He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.
{105:8} He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he
commanded to a thousand generations.
{105:9} Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
{105:10} And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel
[for] an everlasting covenant:
{105:11} Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of
your inheritance:
{105:12} When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and
strangers in it.
{105:13} When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom
to another people;
{105:14} He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings
for their sakes;
{105:15} [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
{105:16} Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the
whole staff of bread.
{105:17} He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a
servant:
{105:18} Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
{105:19} Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried
him.
{105:20} The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people,
and let him go free.
{105:21} He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
{105:22} To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
wisdom.
{105:23} Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land
of Ham.
{105:24} And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger
than their enemies.
{105:25} He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly
with his servants.
{105:26} He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
{105:27} They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of
Ham.
{105:28} He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not
against his word.
{105:29} He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
{105:30} Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers
of their kings.
{105:31} He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in
all their coasts.
{105:32} He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.
{105:33} He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the
trees of their coasts.
{105:34} He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that
without number,
{105:35} And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the
fruit of their ground.
{105:36} He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of
all their strength.
{105:37} He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there
was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
{105:38} Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell
upon them.
{105:39} He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in
the night.
{105:40} [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them
with the bread of heaven.
{105:41} He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the
dry places [like] a river.
{105:42} For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.
{105:43} And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen
with gladness:
{105:44} And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the
labour of the people;
{105:45} That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 106
{106:1} Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is]
good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
{106:2} Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can shew forth
all his praise?
{106:3} Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth
righteousness at all times.
{106:4} Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto]
thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
{106:5} That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in
the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine
inheritance.
{106:6} We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we
have done wickedly.
{106:7} Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him]
at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.
{106:8} Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might
make his mighty power to be known.
{106:9} He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led
them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
{106:10} And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them,] and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
{106:11} And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of
them left.
{106:12} Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
{106:13} They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
{106:14} But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in
the desert.
{106:15} And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their
soul.
{106:16} They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of
the LORD.
{106:17} The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the
company of Abiram.
{106:18} And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up
the wicked.
{106:19} They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
{106:20} Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox
that eateth grass.
{106:21} They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in
Egypt;
{106:22} Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by
the Red sea.
{106:23} 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.
]{106:24} Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his
word:
{106:25} But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the
voice of the LORD.
{106:26} Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow
them in the wilderness:
{106:27} To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
them in the lands.
{106:28} They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the
sacrifices of the dead.
{106:29} Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and
the plague brake in upon them.
{106:30} Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the
plague was stayed.
{106:31} And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all
generations for evermore.
{106:32} They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it
went ill with Moses for their sakes:
{106:33} Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly
with his lips.
{106:34} They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD
commanded them:
{106:35} But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
{106:36} And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
{106:37} Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto
devils,
{106:38} And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood.
{106:39} Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a
whoring with their own inventions.
{106:40} Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his
people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
{106:41} And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that
hated them ruled over them.
{106:42} Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into
subjection under their hand.
{106:43} Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with
their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
{106:44} Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their
cry:
{106:45} And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of his mercies.
{106:46} He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives.
{106:47} 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.
{106:48} Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to
everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 107
Book V
{107:1} O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever.
{107:2} Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from
the hand of the enemy;
{107:3} And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the
west, from the north, and from the south.
{107:4} They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found
no city to dwell in.
{107:5} Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
{107:6} Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
delivered them out of their distresses.
{107:7} And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a
city of habitation.
{107:8} Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and
[for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:9} For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul
with goodness.
{107:10} Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, [being]
bound in affliction and iron;
{107:11} Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned
the counsel of the most High:
{107:12} Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell
down, and [there was] none to help.
{107:13} Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved
them out of their distresses.
{107:14} He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
brake their bands in sunder.
{107:16} For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of
iron in sunder.
{107:17} Fools because of their transgression, and because of their
iniquities, are afflicted.
{107:18} Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near
unto the gates of death.
{107:19} Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saveth
{107:20} He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from
their destructions.
{107:22} And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and
declare his works with rejoicing.
{107:23} They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in
great waters;
{107:24} These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
{107:25} For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth
up the waves thereof.
{107:26} They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:
their soul is melted because of trouble.
{107:27} They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are
at their wit’s end.
{107:28} Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth
{107:29} He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are
still.
{107:30} Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them
unto their desired haven.
{107:32} Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and
praise him in the assembly of the elders.
{107:33} He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into
dry ground;
{107:34} A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them
that dwell therein.
{107:35} He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry
ground into watersprings.
{107:36} And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare
a city for habitation;
{107:37} And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield
fruits of increase.
{107:38} He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
{107:39} Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression,
affliction, and sorrow.
{107:40} He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander
in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
{107:41} Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh
[him] families like a flock.
{107:42} The righteous shall see [it,] and rejoice: and all iniquity
shall stop her mouth.
{107:43} Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things,] even they
shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psalm 108
A Song [or] Psalm of David.
{108:1} O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even
with my glory.
{108:2} Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
{108:3} I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing
praises unto thee among the nations.
{108:4} For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth
[reacheth] unto the clouds.
{108:5} Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above
all the earth;
{108:6} That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand,
and answer me.
{108:7} God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
{108:8} Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the
strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
{108:9} Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over
Philistia will I triumph.
{108:10} Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
Edom?
{108:11} [Wilt] not [thou,] O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not
thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
{108:12} Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
{108:13} Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall
tread down our enemies.
Psalm 109

{109:1} Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
{109:2} For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are
opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying
tongue.
{109:3} They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought
against me without a cause.
{109:4} For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto]
prayer.
{109:5} And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
{109:6} Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his
right hand.
{109:7} When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his
prayer become sin.
{109:8} Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
{109:9} Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
{109:10} Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them
seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
{109:11} Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the
strangers spoil his labour.
{109:12} Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there
be any to favour his fatherless children.
{109:13} Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation
following let their name be blotted out.
{109:14} Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
{109:15} Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off
the memory of them from the earth.
{109:16} Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted
the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in
heart.
{109:17} As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted
not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
{109:18} As 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.
{109:19} Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and
for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
{109:20} [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD,
and of them that speak evil against my soul.
{109:21} But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake:
because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
{109:22} For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
{109:23} I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up
and down as the locust.
{109:24} My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of
fatness.
{109:25} I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me
they shaked their heads.
{109:26} Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
{109:27} That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD,
hast done it.
{109:28} Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be
ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
{109:29} Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
{109:30} I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will
praise him among the multitude.
{109:31} For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save
[him] from those that condemn his soul.
Psalm 110
A Psalm of David.
{110:1} The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool.
{110:2} The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule
thou in the midst of thine enemies.
{110:3} Thy 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.
{110:4} The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest
for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
{110:5} The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the
day of his wrath.
{110:6} He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the places]
with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many
countries.
{110:7} He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift
up the head.
Psalm 111
{111:1} Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole
heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.
{111:2} The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them that
have pleasure therein.
{111:3} His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness
endureth for ever.
{111:4} He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD
[is] gracious and full of compassion.
{111:5} He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be
mindful of his covenant.
{111:6} He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may
give them the heritage of the heathen.
{111:7} The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his
commandments [are] sure.
{111:8} They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth and
uprightness.
{111:9} He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his
covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.
{111:10} The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they that do [his commandments:] his
praise endureth for ever.
Psalm 112
{112:1} Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the
LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
{112:2} His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the
upright shall be blessed.
{112:3} Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
{112:4} Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is]
gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
{112:5} A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his
affairs with discretion.
{112:6} Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be
in everlasting remembrance.
{112:7} He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed,
trusting in the LORD.
{112:8} His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he
see [his desire] upon his enemies.
{112:9} He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness
endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
{112:10} The wicked shall see [it,] and be grieved; he shall gnash with
his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Psalm 113
{113:1} Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise

the name of the LORD.
{113:2} Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for
evermore.
{113:3} From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the
LORD’S name [is] to be praised.
{113:4} The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the
heavens.
{113:5} Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
{113:6} Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in
heaven, and in the earth!
{113:7} He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy
out of the dunghill;
{113:8} That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of
his people.
{113:9} He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful
mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 114
{114:1} When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people
of strange language;
{114:2} Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
{114:3} The sea saw [it,] and fled: Jordan was driven back.
{114:4} The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like
lambs.
{114:5} What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan,
[that] thou wast driven back?
{114:6} Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little
hills, like lambs?
{114:7} Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the
presence of the God of Jacob;

fountain of waters.

{115:3} But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he
hath pleased.

{115:5} They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they
see not:
{115:6} They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they
smell not:
{115:7} They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they
walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

trusteth in them.

bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
{115:13} He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and great.
{115:14} The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your
children.
{115:15} Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
{115:16} The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD’S: but the
earth hath he given to the children of men.

silence.

evermore. Praise the LORD.

upon [him] as long as I live.

hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

thee, deliver my soul.

merciful.

helped me.

bountifully with thee.

tears, [and] my feet from falling.
{116:9} I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
{116:10} I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

toward me?

the LORD.

his people.
{116:15} Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.
{116:16} O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and]
the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
{116:17} I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will
call upon the name of the LORD.

{118:3} Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for
ever.
{118:4} Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth]
for ever.
{118:5} I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, [and
set me] in a large place.
{118:6} The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto
me?
{118:7} The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall
I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
{118:8} [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
man.
{118:9} [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
princes.
{118:10} All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD
will I destroy them.
{118:11} They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in
the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
{118:12} They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the
fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
{118:13} Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD
helped me.
{118:14} The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
{118:15} The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the tabernacles
of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
{118:16} The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the
LORD doeth valiantly.
{118:17} I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
{118:18} The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over
unto death.
{118:19} Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them,
[and] I will praise the LORD:
{118:20} This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
{118:21} I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my
salvation.
{118:22} The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head
[stone] of the corner.
{118:23} This is the LORD’S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.
{118:24} This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will rejoice
and be glad in it.
{118:25} Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send
now prosperity.
{118:26} Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have
blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

I will exalt thee.

{122:2} Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
{122:3} Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
{122:4} Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the
testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
{122:5} For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house
of David.
{122:6} Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love
thee.
{122:7} Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces.
{122:8} For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace
[be] within thee.
{122:9} Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
Psalm 123
A Song of degrees.
{123:1} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the
heavens.
{123:2} Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their
masters, [and] as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her
mistress; so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God, until that he
have mercy upon us.
{123:3} Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are
exceedingly filled with contempt.
{123:4} Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that
are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
Psalm 124
{124:1} If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say;
{124:2} If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men
rose up against us:
{124:3} Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
kindled against us:
{124:4} Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over
our soul:
{124:5} Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
{124:6} Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to
their teeth.
{124:7} Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
{124:8} Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
earth.
Psalm 125
A Song of degrees.
{125:1} They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which]
cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.
{125:2} As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is]
round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
{125:3} For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the
righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
{125:4} Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that
are] upright in their hearts.
{125:5} As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD
shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace
[shall be] upon Israel.
Psalm 126
A Song of degrees.
{126:1} When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like
them that dream.
{126:2} Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with
singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done
great things for them.
{126:3} The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad.
{126:4} Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
{126:5} They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
{126:6} He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with
him.

Psalm 127
A Song of degrees for Solomon.
{127:1} Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build
it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in
vain.
{127:2} [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat
the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
{127:3} Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of
the womb [is his] reward.
{127:4} As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children
of the youth.
{127:5} Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they
shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in
the gate.
Psalm 128
A Song of degrees.
{128:1} Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in
his ways.
{128:2} For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt]
thou [be,] and [it shall be] well with thee.
{128:3} Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine
house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
{128:4} Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the
LORD.
{128:5} The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the
good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
{128:6} Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, [and] peace upon
Israel.
Psalm 129
A Song of degrees.
{129:1} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel
now say:
{129:2} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have
not prevailed against me.
{129:3} The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
{129:4} The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the
wicked.
{129:5} Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
{129:6} Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which withereth
afore it groweth up:
{129:7} Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth
sheaves his bosom.
{129:8} Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD [be]
upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
Psalm 130
A Song of degrees.
{130:1} Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

{130:2} Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice
of my supplications.
{130:3} If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall
stand?
{130:4} But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be
feared.
{130:5} I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I
hope.
{130:6} My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for
the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.
{130:7} Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is]
mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
{130:8} And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 131
{131:1} LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do
I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.
{131:3} Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
Psalm 132
A Song of degrees.
{132:1} LORD, remember David, [and] all his afflictions:

{132:2} How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God]
of Jacob;
{132:3} Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go
up into my bed;
{132:4} I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] slumber to mine
eyelids,
{132:5} Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the
mighty [God] of Jacob.
{132:6} Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of
the wood.
{132:7} We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his
footstool.
{132:8} Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
{132:9} Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy
saints shout for joy.
{132:10} For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
{132:11} The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn
from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
{132:12} If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I
shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne
for evermore.
{132:13} For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his
habitation.
{132:14} This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have
desired it.
{132:15} I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor
with bread.
{132:16} I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints
shall shout aloud for joy.
{132:17} There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a
lamp for mine anointed.
{132:18} His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall
his crown flourish.
Psalm 133
{133:1} Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell
together in unity!
{133:2} [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down
upon the beard, [even] Aaron’s beard: that went down to the
skirts of his garments;
{133:3} As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the
mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing,
[even] life for evermore.
Psalm 134
A Song of degrees.

[him,] O ye servants of the LORD.

house of our God,
{135:3} Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his
name; for [it is] pleasant.
{135:4} For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for
his peculiar treasure.
{135:5} For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [is]
above all gods.
{135:6} Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in
earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
{135:7} He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he
maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his
treasuries.
{135:8} Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
{135:9} [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
{135:10} Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
{135:11} Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the
kingdoms of Canaan:
{135:12} And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel
his people.
{135:13} Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O
LORD, throughout all generations.
{135:14} For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
concerning his servants.
{135:15} The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of
men’s hands.
{135:16} They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they
see not;
{135:17} They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any]
breath in their mouths.
{135:18} They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that
trusteth in them.
{135:19} Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of
Aaron:
{135:20} Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless
the LORD.
{135:21} Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.

for ever.

for ever.

{136:6} To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his
{136:7} To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth] for
ever:
{136:8} The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:
{136:9} The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever.
{136:10} To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy
[endureth] for ever:
{136:11} And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy
{136:12} With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his
{136:13} To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy
{136:14} And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy
{136:15} But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his
{136:16} To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his
{136:17} To him which smote great kings: for his mercy [endureth] for
ever:
{136:18} And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:
{136:19} Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:
{136:20} And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:
{136:21} And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever:
{136:22} [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy
{136:23} Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever:
{136:24} And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy
{136:25} Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth] for
ever.
{136:26} O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy [endureth]
for ever.
Psalm 137
{137:1} By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when
we remembered Zion.
{137:2} We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
{137:3} For there they that carried us away captive required of us a
song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying,]
Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.
{137:4} How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a strange land?
{137:5} If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her
cunning.
]{137:6} If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
{137:7} Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase [it,] rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.
{137:8} O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he
be,] that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
{137:9} Happy [shall he be,] that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
against the stones.
Psalm 138
A [Psalm] of David.
{138:1} I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I
sing praise unto thee.
{138:2} I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for
thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy
word above all thy name.
{138:3} In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, [and]
strengthenedst me [with] strength in my soul.
{138:4} All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they
hear the words of thy mouth.
{138:5} Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great [is]
the glory of the LORD.
{138:6} Though the LORD [be] high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
but the proud he knoweth afar off.
{138:7} Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me:
thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine
enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
{138:8} The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O
LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own
hands.
Psalm 139
{139:1} O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me.

]{139:2} Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou
understandest my thought afar off.
{139:3} Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted
[with] all my ways.
{139:4} For [there is] not a word in my tongue, [but,] lo, O LORD, thou
knowest it altogether.
{139:5} Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon
me.
{139:6} [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is high, I
cannot [attain] unto it.
{139:7} Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee
from thy presence?
{139:8} If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed
in hell, behold, thou [art there.
]{139:9} [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the
uttermost parts of the sea;
{139:10} Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall
hold me.
{139:11} If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night
shall be light about me.
{139:12} Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth
as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee.
]{139:13} For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my
mother’s womb.
{139:14} I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made:
marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
{139:15} My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
[and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
{139:16} Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in
thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance
were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.
{139:17} How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great
is the sum of them!
{139:18} [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the
sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
{139:19} Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me
therefore, ye bloody men.
{139:20} For they speak against thee wickedly, [and] thine enemies take
[thy name] in vain.
{139:21} Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I
grieved with those that rise up against thee?
{139:22} I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
{139:23} Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
thoughts:
{139:24} And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting.
Psalm 140
{140:1} Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the
violent man;
{140:2} Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they
gathered together [for] war.
{140:3} They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’
poison [is] under their lips. Selah.
{140:4} Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from
the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
{140:5} The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread
a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
{140:6} I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my
supplications, O LORD.
{140:7} O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered
my head in the day of battle.
{140:8} Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his
wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah.
{140:9} [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let the
mischief of their own lips cover them.
{140:10} Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the
fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
{140:11} Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil
shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him.
]{140:12} I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the
afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.
{140:13} Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the
upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Psalm 141
A Psalm of David.
{141:1} LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my
voice, when I cry unto thee.
{141:2} Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the
lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
{141:3} Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
{141:4} Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise wicked
works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their
dainties.
{141:5} Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let
him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not
break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their
calamities.
{141:6} When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall
hear my words; for they are sweet.
{141:7} Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
{141:8} But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my
trust; leave not my soul destitute.
{141:9} Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the
gins of the workers of iniquity.
{141:10} Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal
escape.
Psalm 142
Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.
{142:1} I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the
LORD did I make my supplication.
{142:2} I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my
trouble.
{142:3} When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my
path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare
for me.
{142:4} I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man
that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
{142:5} I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and]
my portion in the land of the living.
{142:6} Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from
my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
{142:7} Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the
righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully
with me.
Psalm 143
A Psalm of David.
{143:1} Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy

faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
{143:2} And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight
shall no man living be justified.
{143:3} For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life
down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as
those that have been long dead.
{143:4} Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within
me is desolate.
{143:5} I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse
on the work of thy hands.
{143:6} I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after
thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
{143:7} Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face
from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
{143:8} Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee
do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I
lift up my soul unto thee.
{143:9} Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide
me.
{143:10} Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit
[is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
{143:11} Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy
righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
{143:12} And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them
that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
Psalm 144
A [Psalm] of David.
{144:1} Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to

war, [and] my fingers to fight:
{144:2} My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer;
my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under
me.
{144:3} LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him! [or]
the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
{144:4} Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that passeth
away.
{144:5} Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains,
and they shall smoke.
{144:6} Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows,
and destroy them.
{144:7} Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great
waters, from the hand of strange children;
{144:8} Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right
hand of falsehood.
{144:9} I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery [and]
an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
{144:10} [It is he] that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth
David his servant from the hurtful sword.
{144:11} Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,
whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand [is] a right
hand of falsehood:
{144:12} That our sons [may be] as plants grown up in their youth;
[that] our daughters [may be] as corner stones, polished [after]
the similitude of a palace:
{144:13} [That] our garners [may be] full, affording all manner of
store: [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets:
{144:14} [That] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; [that there be] no
breaking in, nor going out; that [there be] no complaining in our
streets.
{144:15} Happy [is that] people, that is in such a case: [yea,] happy
[is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD.
Psalm 145
David’s [Psalm] of praise.
{145:1} I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name
for ever and ever.
{145:2} Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for
ever and ever.
{145:3} Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his
greatness [is] unsearchable.

earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

which cry.

twoedged sword in their hand;
{149:7} To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon
the people;

his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain;
yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever. {12:4} But thou, O Daniel, shut up

many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave
large money unto the soldiers, {28:13} Saying, Say ye, His
disciples came by night, and stole him [away] while we
slept. {28:14} And if this come to the governor’s ears, we
will persuade him, and secure you. {28:15} So they took the
money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is
commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
{28:16} Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,

into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. {28:17}
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted. {28:18} And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
{28:19} Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: {28:20} Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him. {16:7} But go your
way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you
into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
{16:8} And they went out quickly, and fled from the
sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said
they any thing to any [man;] for they were afraid.
{16:9} Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of
the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of
whom he had cast seven devils. {16:10} [And] she went and
told them that had been with him, as they mourned and
wept. {16:11} And they, when they had heard that he was
alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
{16:12} After that he appeared in another form unto two

of them, as they walked, and went into the country. {16:13}
And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither
believed they them.
{16:14} Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat

at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they believed not them which
had seen him after he was risen. {16:15} And he said unto
them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature. {16:16} He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
{16:17} And these signs shall follow them that believe; In
my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; {16:18} They shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
{16:19} So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he

was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of
God. {16:20} And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with [them,] and confirming the
word with signs following. Amen.

we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed

our company made us astonished, which were early at the
sepulchre; {24:23} And when they found not his body, they
came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels,

glory? {24:27} And beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself. {24:28} And they drew nigh
unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though
he would have gone further. {24:29} But they constrained
him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed [it,] and brake, and gave to them.
{24:31} And their eyes were opened, and they knew him;

one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the
scriptures? {24:33} And they rose up the same hour, and
returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered
together, and them that were with them, {24:34} Saying,
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
{24:35} And they told what things [were done] in the way,
and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
{24:36} And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in

the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
{24:37} But they were terrified and affrighted, and
supposed that they had seen a spirit. {24:38} And he said
unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise
in your hearts? {24:39} Behold my hands and my feet, that
it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me have. {24:40} And when he had
thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet.
{24:41} And while they yet believed not for joy, and
wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
{24:42} And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of
an honeycomb. {24:43} And he took [it,] and did eat before
them. {24:44} And he said unto them, These [are] the
words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the
law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms,
concerning me. {24:45} Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
{24:46} And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third
day: {24:47} And that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem. {24:48} And ye are witnesses of
these things.
{24:49} And, behold, I send the promise of my Father

came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever
and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed,
and laid his hands on him, and healed him. {28:9} So when
this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island,
came, and were healed: {28:10} Who also honoured us with
many honours; and when we departed, they laded [us] with
such things as were necessary.
{28:11} And after three months we departed in a ship of

Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was
Castor and Pollux. {28:12} And landing at Syracuse, we
tarried [there] three days. {28:13} And from thence we
fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day
the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
{28:14} Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry
with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
{28:15} And from thence, when the brethren heard of us,
they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and The three
taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took
courage. {28:16} And when we came to Rome, the
centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard:
but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that
kept him.
{28:17} And it came to pass, that after three days Paul

called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were
come together, he said unto them, Men [and] brethren,
though I have committed nothing against the people, or
customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from
Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. {28:18} Who,
when they had examined me, would have let [me] go,
because there was no cause of death in me. {28:19} But
when the Jews spake against [it,] I was constrained to
appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation
of. {28:20} For this cause therefore have I called for you, to
see [you,] and to speak with [you:] because that for the hope
of Israel I am bound with this chain. {28:21} And they said
unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea
concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came
shewed or spake any harm of thee. {28:22} But we desire to
hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect,
we know that every where it is spoken against. {28:23} And
when they had appointed him a day, there came many to
him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified
the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus,
both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets,
from morning till evening. {28:24} And some believed the
things which were spoken, and some believed not. {28:25}
And when they agreed not among themselves, they
departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake
the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
{28:26} Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye
shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see,

therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power
of Christ may rest upon me. {12:10} Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am
weak, then am I strong.
{12:11} I am become a fool in glorying; ye have

compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you:
for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though
I be nothing. {12:12} Truly the signs of an apostle were
wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders,
and mighty deeds. {12:13} For what is it wherein ye were
inferior to other churches, except [it be] that I myself was
not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. {12:14}
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will
not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for
the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the
parents for the children. {12:15} And I will very gladly
spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I
love you, the less I be loved. {12:16} But be it so, I did not
burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with
guile. {12:17} Did I make a gain of you by any of them
whom I sent unto you? {12:18} I desired Titus, and with
[him] I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you?
walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the
same steps? {12:19} Again, think ye that we excuse
ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but [we
do] all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. {12:20}
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I
would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye
would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes,
backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: {12:21} [And]
lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among
you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned
already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and
fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
{13:1} This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In

the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be
established. {13:2} I told you before, and foretell you, as if
I were present, the second time; and being absent now I
write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other,
that, if I come again, I will not spare: {13:3} Since ye seek a
proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not
weak, but is mighty in you. {13:4} For though he was
crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of
God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with
him by the power of God toward you. {13:5} Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ
is in you, except ye be reprobates? {13:6} But I trust that ye
shall know that we are not reprobates. {13:7} Now I pray to
God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved,
but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as
reprobates. {13:8} For we can do nothing against the truth,
but for the truth. {13:9} For we are glad, when we are weak,
and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your
perfection. {13:10} Therefore I write these things being
absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according
to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification,
and not to destruction.
{13:11} Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good

comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love
and peace shall be with you. {13:12} Greet one another
with an holy kiss.

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the

{6:1} Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which

are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;

one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. {6:3}
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
nothing, he deceiveth himself. {6:4} But let every man
prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in
himself alone, and not in another. {6:5} For every man shall
bear his own burden. {6:6} Let him that is taught in the
word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good
things. {6:7} Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. {6:8} For
he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. {6:9} And let us not be weary in well doing: for
in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. {6:10} As we
have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men,]
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
{6:11} Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you
with mine own hand. {6:12} As many as desire to make a
fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised;
only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of
Christ. {6:13} For neither they themselves who are
circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. {6:14} But
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I
unto the world. {6:15} For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a
new creature. {6:16} And as many as walk according to this
rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of
God. {6:17} From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I
bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. {6:18}
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your
spirit. Amen.

peace shall be with you.

concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even
as others which have no hope. {4:14} For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him. {4:15} For this we say unto
you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and]
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep. {4:16} For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: {4:17} Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord
in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. {4:18}
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
{5:1} But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have

no need that I write unto you. {5:2} For yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the
night. {5:3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall not escape. {5:4} But ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief. {5:5} Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
{5:6} Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us
watch and be sober. {5:7} For they that sleep sleep in the
night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
{5:8} But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation. {5:9} For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but
to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, {5:10} Who
died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him. {5:11} Wherefore comfort yourselves
together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
{5:12} And we beseech you, brethren, to know them

which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and
admonish you; {5:13} And to esteem them very highly in
love for their work’s sake. [And] be at peace among
yourselves. {5:14} Now we exhort you, brethren, warn
them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the
weak, be patient toward all [men. ]{5:15} See that none
render evil for evil unto any [man;] but ever follow that
which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men.
]{5:16} Rejoice evermore. {5:17} Pray without ceasing.
{5:18} In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus concerning you. {5:19} Quench not the
Spirit. {5:20} Despise not prophesyings. {5:21} Prove all
things; hold fast that which is good. {5:22} Abstain from all
appearance of evil. {5:23} And the very God of peace
sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and
soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. {5:24} Faithful [is] he that calleth
you, who also will do [it.
]{5:25} Brethren, pray for us.
{5:26} Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. {5:27} I

{1:1} Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our

brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and
fellowlabourer, {1:2} And to [our] beloved Apphia, and
Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
{1:3} Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
{1:4} I thank my God, making mention of thee always in

my prayers, {1:5} Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou
hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; {1:6}
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual
by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you
in Christ Jesus. {1:7} For we have great joy and consolation
in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed
by thee, brother. {1:8} Wherefore, though I might be much
bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, {1:9}
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech [thee,] being such an
one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus
Christ. {1:10} I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I
have begotten in my bonds: {1:11} Which in time past was
to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
{1:12} Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him,
that is, mine own bowels: {1:13} Whom I would have
retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered
unto me in the bonds of the gospel: {1:14} But without thy
mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it
were of necessity, but willingly. {1:15} For perhaps he
therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive
him for ever; {1:16} Not now as a servant, but above a
servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much
more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? {1:17} If
thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
{1:18} If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put
that on mine account; {1:19} I Paul have written [it] with
mine own hand, I will repay [it:] albeit I do not say to thee
how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
{1:20} Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord:
refresh my bowels in the Lord.
{1:21} Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto

thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. {1:22}
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through
your prayers I shall be given unto you.
{1:23} There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in

my fellowlabourers.

loved us, we ought also to love one another. {4:12} No man
hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. {4:13}
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit. {4:14} And we have
seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the
Saviour of the world. {4:15} Whosoever shall confess that
Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in
God. {4:16} And we have known and believed the love that
God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him. {4:17} Herein is our love
made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. {4:18}
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love. {4:19} We love him, because he first loved
us. {4:20} If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother,
he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath
seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? {4:21}
And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love his brother also.
{5:1} Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born

of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him
also that is begotten of him. {5:2} By this we know that we
love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his
commandments. {5:3} For this is the love of God, that we
keep his commandments: and his commandments are not
The Second Epistle of John
{1:1} The elder unto the elect lady and her children,
whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they
that have known the truth; {1:2} For the truth’s sake, which
dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. {1:3} Grace be
with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth
and love.
{1:4} I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children

walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from
the Father. {1:5} And now I beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
{1:6} And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have
heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. {1:7} For
many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an antichrist. {1:8} Look to yourselves, that we lose not
those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a
full reward. {1:9} Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not
in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in
the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
{1:10} If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him
God speed: {1:11} For he that biddeth him God speed is
partaker of his evil deeds.
{1:12} Having many things to write unto you, I would not

[write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and
speak face to face, that our joy may be full. {1:13} The
children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
The Third Epistle of John
{1:1} The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love

in the truth.
{1:2} Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest

prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. {1:3}
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified
of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
{1:4} I have no greater joy than to hear that my children
walk in truth. {1:5} Beloved, thou doest faithfully
whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
{1:6} Which have borne witness of thy charity before the
church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a
godly sort, thou shalt do well: {1:7} Because that for his
name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
{1:8} We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
fellowhelpers to the truth.
{1:9} I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth

to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
{1:10} Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds
which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words:
and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive
the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth
[them] out of the church.
{1:11} Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that

which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that
doeth evil hath not seen God. {1:12} Demetrius hath good
report of all [men,] and of the truth itself: yea, and we [also]
bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
{1:13} I had many things to write, but I will not with ink
and pen write unto thee: {1:14} But I trust I shall shortly
see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] to thee.
[Our] friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

{1:3} Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto

you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write
unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. {1:4}
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people
out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that
believed not. {1:6} And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the
great day. {1:7} Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the
cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to
fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. {1:8}
Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. {1:9} Yet
Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against
him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
{1:10} But these speak evil of those things which they
know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in
those things they corrupt themselves. {1:11} Woe unto
them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished
in the gainsaying of Core. {1:12} These are spots in your
feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding
themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water,
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; {1:13} Raging
waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever. {1:14} And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with
ten thousands of his saints, {1:15} To execute judgment
upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them
of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly
sinners have spoken against him. {1:16} These are
murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and
their mouth speaketh great swelling [words,] having men’s
persons in admiration because of advantage.
{1:17} But, beloved, remember ye the words which were

spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
{1:18} How that they told you there should be mockers in
the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
{1:19} These be they who separate themselves, sensual,
having not the Spirit. {1:20} But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Ghost, {1:21} Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
{1:22} And of some have compassion, making a difference:
{1:23} And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the
fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. {22:10}
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy
of this book: for the time is at hand. {22:11} He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him
be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. {22:12} And,
behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give

and may enter in through the gates into the city. {22:15}

these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, [and] the bright and morning star.

him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely.
