The Bible, King James version, Book 19: Psalms. Unknown

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

      19:007:010 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

      19:007:011 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

      19:007:012 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

      19:007:013 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

      19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

      19:007:015 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

      19:007:016 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

      19:007:017 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

      19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

      19:008:002 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.

      19:008:003 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

      19:008:004 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

      19:008:005 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

      19:008:006 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

      19:008:007 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

      19:008:008 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

      19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

      19:009:001 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

      19:009:002 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

      19:009:003 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

      19:009:004 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

      19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

      19:009:006 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

      19:009:007 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

      19:009:008 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

      19:009:009 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

      19:009:010 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

      19:009:011 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

      19:009:012 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

      19:009:013 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:

      19:009:014 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

      19:009:015 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

      19:009:016 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

      19:009:017 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

      19:009:018 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

      19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

      19:009:020 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

      19:010:001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

      19:010:002 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

      19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

      19:010:004 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

      19:010:005 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

      19:010:006 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

      19:010:007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

      19:010:008 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.

      19:010:009 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.

      19:010:010 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

      19:010:011 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

      19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

      19:010:013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

      19:010:014 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.

      19:010:015 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

      19:010:016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

      19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

      19:010:018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

      19:011:001 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

      19:011:002 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.

      19:011:003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

      19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

      19:011:005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

      19:011:006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

      19:011:007 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

      19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

      19:012:002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
