  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.

  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.

  107:15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  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 them out of their distresses.

  107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

  107:21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  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 them out of their distresses.

  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.

  107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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;

  114:8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

  115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

  115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

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

  115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

  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.

  115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

  115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

  115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

  115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

  115:12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will 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.

  115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

  115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

  Praise the LORD.

  116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
