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

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

      19:012:004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

      19:012:005 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

      19:012:006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

      19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

      19:012:008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

      19:013:001 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

      19:013:002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

      19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

      19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

      19:013:005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

      19:013:006 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

      19:014:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

      19:014:002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

      19:014:003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

      19:014:004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

      19:014:005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

      19:014:006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

      19:014:007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

      19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

      19:015:002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

      19:015:003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

      19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

      19:015:005 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

      19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

      19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

      19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

      19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

      19:016:005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

      19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

      19:016:007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

      19:016:008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

      19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

      19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

      19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

      19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

      19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

      19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

      19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

      19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

      19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

      19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

      19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

      19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

      19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

      19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

      19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

      19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

      19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

      19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

      19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

      19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

      19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

      19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

      19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

      19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

      19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

      19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

      19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

      19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

      19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

      19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

      19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

      19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
