The Bible, Old and New Testaments, King James Version

by Mormons

  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.

  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?

  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 me 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.

  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.

  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.

  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;
<
br />   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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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 mo
uth, 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.

  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.

  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.
