      Book 19 Psalms

      19:001:001 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.

      19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

      19:001:003 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.

      19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

      19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

      19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

      19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

      19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

      19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

      19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

      19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

      19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

      19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

      19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

      19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

      19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

      19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

      19:002:012 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.

      19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

      19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

      19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

      19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

      19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

      19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

      19:003:007 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.

      19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

      19:004:001 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.

      19:004:002 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.

      19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

      19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

      19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

      19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

      19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

      19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

      19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

      19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

      19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

      19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

      19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

      19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

      19:005:007 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.

      19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

      19:005:009 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.

      19:005:010 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.

      19:005:011 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.

      19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

      19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

      19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

      19:006:003 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

      19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

      19:006:005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

      19:006:006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

      19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

      19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

      19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

      19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

      19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

      19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

      19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

      19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

      19:007:005 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.

      19:007:006 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.

      19:007:007 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

      19:007:008 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
