Holy Bible: King James Version, The

by Various

  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, shall 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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 Baalpeor, 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 whor
ing with their own inventions.
