\par }\PsalmChap{1}{\Q \VerseOne{1}Blessed
is
the
man
who hath
not
walked
in
the
counsel
of
the
ungodly,
nor
stood
in
the
way
of
sinners,
nor
sat
in
the chair
of pestilence.
\par }{\Q \VS{2}But
his
will
is
in
the
law
of
the
Lord,
and
on
his
law
he
shall
meditate
day
and
night.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}And
he
shall
be
like
a
tree
which
is
planted
near
the
running
waters,
which
shall
bring
forth
its
fruit,
in
due
season.
And
his
leaf
shall
not
fall
off:
and
all
whatsoever
he
shall
do
shall
prosper.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Not
so
the
wicked,
not
so:
but
like
the dust,
which
the
wind driveth
from
the face
of
the earth.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}Therefore
the
wicked
shall
not
rise
again
in
judgment:
nor
sinners
in
the council
of
the
just.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}For
the
Lord knoweth
the
way
of
the
just:
and
the
way
of
the
wicked
shall
perish.

\par }\PsalmChap{2}{\Q \VerseOne{1}Why
have
the
Gentiles raged,
and
the
people devised vain things?
\par }{\Q \VS{2}The
kings
of
the
earth
stood
up,
and
the princes met
together,
against
the
Lord
and
against
his Christ.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}Let
us
break
their
bonds asunder:
and let
us
cast
away
their yoke
from
us.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}He
that dwelleth
in
heaven
shall
laugh
at
them:
and
the
Lord
shall deride
them.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}Then shall
he
speak
to
them
in
his
anger,
and trouble
them
in
his rage.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}But
I
am appointed
king
by
him
over Sion
his
holy
mountain, preaching
his commandment.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}The
Lord hath
said
to
me: Thou art
my
son,
this
day
have
I
begotten thee.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}Ask
of
me,
and
I
will
give thee
the
Gentiles
for thy
inheritance,
and
the utmost parts
of
the
earth
for thy
possession.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}Thou shalt rule
them
with
a
rod
of
iron,
and shalt break
them
in pieces like
a
potter’s
vessel.
\par }{\Q \VS{10}And
now, O ye
kings,
understand: receive
instruction,
you
that
judge
the
earth.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}Serve ye
the
Lord
with
fear:
and
rejoice unto
him
with
trembling.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}Embrace discipline,
lest
at
any time
the Lord
be
angry,
and
you
perish
from
the
just
way.

psalm
of
David

he
fled
from
the
face
of
his
son
Absalom.
\par }{\Q \VS{2}Why,
O
Lord,
are
they
multiplied
that afflict
me?
many
are
they
who
rise
up
against
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}Many
say
to
my
soul:
There
is
no
salvation
for
him
in
his
God.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}But thou,
O
Lord art
my protector,
my
glory,
and
the lifter
up
of
my
head.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}I
have
cried
to
the
Lord
with
my
voice:
and
he hath
heard
me
from
his
holy
hill.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}I
have
slept
and taken
my
rest:
and
I
have risen
up,
because
the
Lord hath protected
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}I
will
not
fear
thousands
of
the
people,
surrounding
me: arise, O Lord; save
me, O
my
God.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}For thou hast
struck
all
them
who
are
my adversaries without cause: thou hast
broken
the
teeth
of sinners.

is
of
the
Lord:
and thy
blessing
is
upon thy
people.

in verses.
A
psalm
for
David.
\par }{\Q \VS{2}When
I
called
upon
him,
the
God
of
my
justice
heard
me:
when
I
was
in
distress, thou hast
enlarged
me.
Have
mercy
on
me:
and
hear
my
prayer.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}O ye
sons
of
men,
how
long
will
you
be dull
of heart?
why
do
you
love vanity,
and
seek
after
lying?
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Know ye
also
that
the
Lord hath
made
his
holy
one wonderful:
the
Lord
will
hear
me
when
I
shall
cry unto
him.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}Be angry,
and
sin
not:
the things
you
say
in
your
hearts,
be sorry
for
them
upon
your
beds.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Offer
up
the
sacrifice
of
justice,

trust
in
the
Lord: many say,
Who sheweth
us good things?

light
of thy
countenance
O
Lord,
is signed
upon
us: thou hast given gladness
in
my heart.

the fruit
of
their corn,
their
wine
and oil,
they
are
multiplied.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}In
peace
in
the selfsame
I
will
sleep,
and
I
will
rest:

to
the
voice
of
my prayer,
O
my
King
and
my
God.

to thee
will
I pray:
O
Lord,
in
the
morning thou shalt
hear
my
voice.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}In
the morning
I
will stand
before thee,
and
will see:
because thou art
not
a
God
that willest iniquity.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Neither
shall
the
wicked dwell
near thee:
nor
shall
the
unjust abide
before thy
eyes.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}Thou hatest
all
the workers
of iniquity: Thou wilt
destroy
all
that
speak
a
lie.
The
bloody
and
the
deceitful
man
the
Lord
will
abhor.

as
for
me
in
the
multitude
of thy mercy,

will
come
into thy
house;

will
worship towards thy
holy
temple,
in thy
fear.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}Conduct
me,
O
Lord,
in thy
justice:
because
of
my enemies, direct
my
way
in thy
sight.
\par }{\Q \VS{10}For
there
is
no truth
in
their
mouth;
their
heart
is vain.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}Their throat
is
an open sepulchre:
they dealt deceitfully
with
their tongues: judge
them,
O
God. Let
them
fall
from
their
devices: according
to
the
multitude
of
their wickedness
cast
them
out:
for
they
have provoked thee,
O Lord.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}But
let
all
them
be
glad
that hope
in thee:
they
shall
rejoice
for
ever,
and thou shalt dwell
in
them.
And
all
they
that
love thy
name
shall glory
in thee:
\par }{\Q \VS{13}For thou wilt
bless
the
just.
O
Lord, thou hast
crowned
us,
as
with
a
shield
of thy
good
will.

Lord,
for
my
bones
are troubled.

my
soul
is
troubled
exceedingly:
but thou,
O
Lord,
how
long?
\par }{\Q \VS{5}Turn
to
me,
O
Lord,
and
deliver
my
soul:
O
save
me
for thy mercy’s
sake.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}For
there
is
no
one
in
death,
that
is mindful
of thee:
and
who
shall
confess
to thee
in hell?
\par }{\Q \VS{7}I
have laboured
in
my groanings,
every
night I
will wash
my
bed: I
will water
my
couch
with
my
tears.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}My
eye
is troubled
through indignation:
I
have grown
old amongst
all
my enemies.

from
me,
all ye
workers
of
iniquity:
for
the
Lord hath
heard
the
voice
of
my
weeping.

Lord hath
heard
my
supplication:
the
Lord hath
received
my
prayer.

all
my
enemies
be
ashamed,

be
very
much
troubled: let

be
turned
back,

ashamed
very speedily.

the
words
of Chusi
the son
of Jemini. [2 Kings 16]
\par }{\Q \VS{2}O
Lord
my
God,
in thee
have
I put
my trust:
save
me
from
all
them
that
persecute
me,
and
deliver
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}Lest
at
any time
he seize upon
my
soul
like
a
lion,
while
there
is
no
one
to redeem
me,
nor
to
save.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}O
Lord
my
God,
if
I
have
done
this
thing,
if
there
be
iniquity
in
my
hands:

I
have rendered
to them
that
repaid
me evils, let
me deservedly fall
empty before
my enemies.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Let
the
enemy
pursue
my
soul,
and take
it,
and
tread
down
my
life
on
the
earth,
and bring
down
my
glory
to
the
dust.

up,
O
Lord,
in thy
anger:

be thou
exalted
in

shall
surround thee.
And

sakes
return thou
on
high.

Lord judgeth
the
people.
Judge

according
to
my innocence
in
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{10}The
wickedness
of
sinners
shall
be brought
to nought:
and thou shalt
direct
the
just:
the searcher
of
hearts
and reins
is
God.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}Just
is
my
help
from
the Lord:
who saveth
the
upright
of
heart.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}God
is
a
just
judge,
strong
and patient:
is
he
angry
every
day?
\par }{\Q \VS{13}Except
you
will
be
converted,
he
will brandish
his
sword:
he hath
bent
his
bow
and
made
it
ready.
\par }{\Q \VS{14}And
in
it
he hath
prepared
the
instruments
of
death,
he hath
made
ready

arrows
for them
that burn.

he hath been
in labour with
injustice;
he hath
conceived
sorrow,
and
brought
forth
iniquity.

opened
a
pit
and
dug
it;
and he
is
fallen
into
the
hole he
made.

sorrow
shall
be
turned
on
his own
head:
and
his iniquity
shall comedown
upon

crown.

will
give glory
to

the most high.

Lord
our
Lord,
how admirable
is thy
name
in
the
whole
earth!
For thy magnificence
is elevated
above
the
heavens.

of
the
mouth
of
infants
and
of sucklings thou hast perfected praise,
because
of thy
enemies,
that thou mayst destroy
the
enemy
and

avenger.

I
will
behold thy
heavens,

moon

the
stars
which thou hast founded.

is
man
that thou art
mindful
of
him?
or
the
son
of
man
that thou visitest hi?

made
him
a
little
less than
the angels, thou hast
crowned
him
with
glory
and honour:

set
him
over
the
works
of thy
hands.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}Thou hast subjected
all
things under
his feet,
all
sheep
and
oxen:
moreover
the
beasts
also
of
the
fields.

birds
of
the air,
and
the fishes
of
the
sea,
that
pass
through

of

our
Lord,

all thy
wonders.

glad
and
rejoice
in thee:
I
will
sing
to thy
name,
O thou most high.

my
enemy
shall
be
turned
back:
they
shall
be weakened
and
perish
before thy
face.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}For thou hast maintained
my
judgment
and
my
cause: thou hast
sat
on
the
throne,
who judgest
justice.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Thou hast
rebuked
the
Gentiles,
and
the
wicked
one hath
perished: thou hast blotted
out
their
name
for
ever
and
ever.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}The swords
of
the
enemy have failed unto
the
end:
and
their
cities thou hast
destroyed.
Their
memory hath
perished with
a noise.

the
Lord remaineth
for
ever.
He hath
prepared
his
throne
in
judgment:

he
shall
judge
the
world
in
equity,
he
shall
judge
the
people
in
justice.

is
become
a
refuge
for
the poor:
a helper
in due
time
in tribulation.

let
them
trust
in thee
who
know thy
name:
for thou hast
not forsaken
them
that
seek thee,
O
Lord.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}Sing ye
to
the
Lord,
who dwelleth
in Sion:
declare
his ways
among
the Gentiles:
\par }{\Q \VS{13}For requiring
their
blood
he hath
remembered
the:
he hath
not
forgotten
the
cry
of
the
poor.
\par }{\Q \VS{14}Have
mercy
on
me,
O
Lord:
see
my humiliation which
I suffer
from
my
enemies.

that liftest
me
up
from
the
gates
of death,
that
I
may
declare
all thy
praises
in
the
gates
of
the
daughter
of Sion.
\par }{\Q \VS{16}I
will rejoice
in thy salvation:
the
Gentiles
have stuck fast
in
the
destruction
which
they
have
prepared.
Their
foot hath been
taken
in
the very snare
which
they
hid.
\par }{\Q \VS{17}The
Lord
shall
be
known
when
he executeth
judgments:
the sinner hath
been caught
in
the
works
of
his own
hands.

wicked
shall
be
turned
into hell,
all
the
nations
that
forget
God.

poor
man

end:
the patience

the
poor
shall
not
perish
for
ever.

O
Lord,
let
not
man
be strengthened:
let
the
Gentiles
be
judged
in thy
sight.
\par }{\Q \VS{21}Appoint,
O
Lord,
a lawgiver
over
them:
that
the
Gentiles
may
know
themselves
to
be
but
men.
\par }{\Q \VS{22}Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
\par }{\Q \VS{23}Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
\par }{\Q \VS{24}For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
\par }{\Q \VS{25}The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
\par }{\Q \VS{26}God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
\par }{\Q \VS{27}For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
\par }{\Q \VS{28}His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
\par }{\Q \VS{29}He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
\par }{\Q \VS{30}His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
\par }{\Q \VS{31}In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
\par }{\Q \VS{32}For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
\par }{\Q \VS{33}Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
\par }{\Q \VS{34}Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
\par }{\Q \VS{35}Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
\par }{\Q \VS{36}Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
\par }{\Q \VS{37}The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
\par }{\Q \VS{38}The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
\par }{\Q \VS{39}To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

the end.
A psalm

the Lord
I
put
my trust:
how then do
you say
to
my soul: Get thee away from hence
to
the mountain
like
a sparrow?

the
wicked
have bent
their bow;
they
have prepared
their arrows
in
the quiver;
to shoot
in
the dark
the upright
of
heart.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}For
they
have
destroyed
the
things which thou hast
made:
but what
has
the
just
man
done?
\par }{\Q \VS{5}The Lord
is
in
his holy temple,
the Lord’s throne
is
in
heaven.
His eyes look
on
the poor
man:
his eyelids examine
the sons
of
men.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}The Lord trieth
the
just
and
the
wicked:
but
he
that loveth iniquity hateth
his own soul.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}He
shall rain snares upon sinners: fire
and brimstone
and storms
of winds
shall be
the
portion
of
their cup.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}For
the Lord
is just,
and hath loved justice:
his countenance hath beheld righteousness.

the end;
for

me, O Lord,
for
there
is
now no saint: truths
are decayed
from

the children
of
men.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}They
have spoken vain things every
one
to
his neighbour:
with deceitful lips,
and
with
a double heart
have
they spoken.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}May
the
Lord destroy all deceitful lips,

that speaketh
proud

\par }{\Q \VS{51}And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
\par }{\Q \VS{52}And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
\par }{\Q \VS{53}And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: band the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

\par }{\Q \VS{2}O
God,
be
not thou silent
in thy
praise:
for
the mouth
of
the wicked
and
the mouth
of
the deceitful man
is opened against
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}They have spoken against with deceitful tongues;
and they have compassed me about with words
of hatred;
and have fought against me without cause.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Instead
of
making me
a return
of love,
they detracted me:
but
I
gave myself
to prayer.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}And
they repaid
me evil
for good:
and hatred
for
my
love.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Set thou
the sinner
over
him:
and
may
the devil stand
at
his right hand.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}When he
is judged,
may he go out condemned;
and
may
his prayer be turned
to sin.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}May
his days
be few:
and
his bishopric let another take.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}May
his children be fatherless,
and
his wife
a widow.

his children be
carried
about vagabonds,
and beg;
and let
them be
cast
out
of
their dwellings.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}May
the userer search
all
his substance:
and let strangers plunder
his labours.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}May there
be
none
to help
him:
nor
none
to pity
his fatherless offspring.
\par }{\Q \VS{13}May
his posterity be cut off;
in
one generation
may
his name be blotted out.
\par }{\Q \VS{14}May
the iniquity
of
his fathers
be remembered
in
the sight
of
the Lord:
and let not
the sin
of
his mother
be blotted
out.
\par }{\Q \VS{15}May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
\par }{\Q \VS{16}Because he remembered not to show mercy,
\par }{\Q \VS{17}But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
\par }{\Q \VS{18}And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
\par }{\Q \VS{19}May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
\par }{\Q \VS{20}This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.
\par }{\Q \VS{21}But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me.
\par }{\Q \VS{22}For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
\par }{\Q \VS{23}I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
\par }{\Q \VS{24}My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
\par }{\Q \VS{25}And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,
\par }{\Q \VS{26}Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.
\par }{\Q \VS{27}And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
\par }{\Q \VS{28}They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
\par }{\Q \VS{29}Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak.
\par }{\Q \VS{30}I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.
\par }{\Q \VS{31}Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors.
