; TITLE: George Noyes Bible (1869) ; ABBREVIATION: NOY ; HAS ITALICS ; HAS FOOTNOTES ; HAS REDLETTER $$ PSA 1:1 ¶ “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers; $$ PSA 1:2 But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night. $$ PSA 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper. $$ PSA 1:4 Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away. $$ PSA 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just. $$ PSA 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin. $$ PSA 2:1 ¶ Why do the heathen rage, And the nations meditate a vain thing? $$ PSA 2:2 Why do the kings of the earth rise up, And the princes combine together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed king? $$ PSA 2:3 “Let us break their bonds asunder; Let us cast away from us their fetters!” $$ PSA 2:4 He that sitteth in heaven will laugh; The Lord will have them in derision. $$ PSA 2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, And confound them in his hot displeasure. $$ PSA 2:6 “I myself have anointed my king, Upon Zion, my holy hill!” $$ PSA 2:7 I will declare the decree of Jehovah: He hath said to me, “Thou art my son; This day I have begotten thee. $$ PSA 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession. $$ PSA 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.” $$ PSA 2:10 Be wise, therefore, O ye kings! Be admonished, ye rulers of the earth! $$ PSA 2:11 Be subject to Jehovah with awe, And fear with trembling! $$ PSA 2:12 Kiss the son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in your way; For soon shall his wrath be kindled. Happy are all they who seek refuge in him. $$ PSA 3:1 ¶ “A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.” How many, O LORD, are mine enemies! How many are they who rise up against me! $$ PSA 3:2 How many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him with God”! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 3:3 But thou, O LORD! art my shield, My glory, and the lifter-up of my head. $$ PSA 3:4 I call upon the LORD with my voice, And he heareth me from his holy hill. [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 3:5 I lay me down and sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me. $$ PSA 3:6 I will not fear the ten thousands of people Who on every side set themselves against me. $$ PSA 3:7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For thou smitest the cheek of all my enemies; Thou breakest the teeth of the wicked. $$ PSA 3:8 Deliverance cometh from the LORD: May thy blessing be with thy people! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 4:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble,—Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer! $$ PSA 4:2 How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 4:3 Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him. $$ PSA 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 4:5 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD! $$ PSA 4:6 There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us! $$ PSA 4:7 Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant. $$ PSA 4:8 I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety. $$ PSA 5:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with wind instruments. A psalm of David.” Give ear to my words, O LORD; Have regard to my cry! $$ PSA 5:2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer. $$ PSA 5:3 In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help. $$ PSA 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee. $$ PSA 5:5 The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity. $$ PSA 5:6 Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth. $$ PSA 5:7 But I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple. $$ PSA 5:8 Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face! $$ PSA 5:9 For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue. $$ PSA 5:10 Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled! $$ PSA 5:11 But let all, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful in thee! $$ PSA 5:12 For thou, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield. $$ PSA 6:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments; to the octave. A psalm of David.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thine anger; Chasten me not in thy hot displeasure! $$ PSA 6:2 Have pity upon me, O LORD! for I am weak; Heal me, O LORD! for my bones tremble! $$ PSA 6:3 My soul, also, is sore troubled; And thou, O LORD! how long—? $$ PSA 6:4 Return, O LORD! and deliver me; Oh, save me according to thy mercy! $$ PSA 6:5 For in death no praise is given to thee; In the underworld who can give thee thanks? $$ PSA 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; All the night I make my bed to swim, And drench my couch with my tears. $$ PSA 6:7 Mine eye is wasted with grief; It hath become old because of all my enemies. $$ PSA 6:8 Depart from me, all ye that do iniquity; For the LORD heareth the voice of my weeping. $$ PSA 6:9 The LORD heareth my supplication; The LORD accepteth my prayer. $$ PSA 6:10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and utterly confounded; They shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly. $$ PSA 7:1 ¶ “A psalm of David, which he sang to Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.” O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me! $$ PSA 7:2 Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help. $$ PSA 7:3 O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this,—If there be iniquity upon my hands, $$ PSA 7:4 If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy,— $$ PSA 7:5 Let my adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 7:6 Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment! $$ PSA 7:7 Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height! $$ PSA 7:8 The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity! $$ PSA 7:9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins. $$ PSA 7:10 My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart. $$ PSA 7:11 God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day. $$ PSA 7:12 If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready; $$ PSA 7:13 He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows. $$ PSA 7:14 Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment! $$ PSA 7:15 He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made. $$ PSA 7:16 His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull. $$ PSA 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. $$ PSA 8:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens. $$ PSA 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger. $$ PSA 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained: $$ PSA 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him? $$ PSA 8:5 Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor. $$ PSA 8:6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet,— $$ PSA 8:7 All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest; $$ PSA 8:8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep. $$ PSA 8:9 O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! $$ PSA 9:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.” I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. $$ PSA 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High! $$ PSA 9:3 All my enemies are turned back; They fall and perish at thy presence. $$ PSA 9:4 For thou dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge. $$ PSA 9:5 Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore! $$ PSA 9:6 The enemy is fallen,—a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished! $$ PSA 9:7 The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment. $$ PSA 9:8 He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness. $$ PSA 9:9 Yea, the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed; A refuge in times of trouble. $$ PSA 9:10 They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee! $$ PSA 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people! $$ PSA 9:12 As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint. $$ PSA 9:13 “Have pity upon me, [[said I,]] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death: $$ PSA 9:14 That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.” $$ PSA 9:15 The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken. $$ PSA 9:16 Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [[Stringed instruments. Pause.]] $$ PSA 9:17 The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God. $$ PSA 9:18 For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever. $$ PSA 9:19 Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee! $$ PSA 9:20 Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 10:1 ¶ Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? $$ PSA 10:2 Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them. $$ PSA 10:3 The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah. $$ PSA 10:4 The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.” $$ PSA 10:5 His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. $$ PSA 10:6 He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.” $$ PSA 10:7 His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue. $$ PSA 10:8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor. $$ PSA 10:9 He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net. $$ PSA 10:10 He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws. $$ PSA 10:11 He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.” $$ PSA 10:12 Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed! $$ PSA 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”? $$ PSA 10:14 Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless. $$ PSA 10:15 Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none! $$ PSA 10:16 Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land. $$ PSA 10:17 Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear! $$ PSA 10:18 Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land. $$ PSA 11:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” In the LORD do I put my trust. Why say ye to me, “Flee, like a bird, to your mountain? $$ PSA 11:2 For, lo! the wicked bend their bow; They make ready their arrows on the string, To shoot in secret at the upright in heart. $$ PSA 11:3 If the pillars be broken down, What can the righteous do?” $$ PSA 11:4 The LORD is in his holy palace; The LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids prove the children of men. $$ PSA 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous; But the wicked, and the lover of violence, his soul hateth. $$ PSA 11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain lightning; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. $$ PSA 11:7 For the LORD is righteous; he loveth righteousness; The upright shall see his face. $$ PSA 12:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music; to the octave. A psalm of David.” Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; The faithful are failing among men. $$ PSA 12:2 They speak falsehood one to another; With flattering lips, with a double heart, do they speak. $$ PSA 12:3 May the LORD destroy all flattering lips, And the tongue which speaketh proud things! $$ PSA 12:4 Who say, “With our tongues will we prevail; Our lips are our reliance; Who is lord over us?” $$ PSA 12:5 For the oppression of the poor and the sighing of the wretched, Now will I stand up, saith the LORD; I will set in safety him whom they puff at. $$ PSA 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure; Like silver purified in a furnace on the earth, Seven times refined. $$ PSA 12:7 Thou, O LORD! will watch over them; Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever. $$ PSA 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, When the vilest of men are exalted. $$ PSA 13:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” How long, O LORD! wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? $$ PSA 13:2 How long shall I have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? $$ PSA 13:3 Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; $$ PSA 13:4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen. $$ PSA 13:5 Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation; $$ PSA 13:6 I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me. $$ PSA 14:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The fool saith in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; abominable are their doings; There is none that doeth good. $$ PSA 14:2 Jehovah looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God. $$ PSA 14:3 They are all gone out of the way; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good—no, not one. $$ PSA 14:4 Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah? $$ PSA 14:5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous. $$ PSA 14:6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge. $$ PSA 14:7 Oh that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captives of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel be glad. $$ PSA 15:1 ¶ “A psalm of David.” LORD, who shall abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill? $$ PSA 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart; $$ PSA 15:3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no reproach against his neighbor; $$ PSA 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not; $$ PSA 15:5 He that lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved. $$ PSA 16:1 ¶ “A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help. $$ PSA 16:2 I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee! $$ PSA 16:3 The holy that are in the land, and the excellent,—in them is all my delight. $$ PSA 16:4 They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips. $$ PSA 16:5 Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot! $$ PSA 16:6 My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance. $$ PSA 16:7 I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me. $$ PSA 16:8 I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall. $$ PSA 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security. $$ PSA 16:10 For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. $$ PSA 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. $$ PSA 17:1 ¶ “A psalm of David.” Hear the righteous cause, O LORD! Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit! $$ PSA 17:2 May my sentence come forth from thy presence; May thine eyes behold uprightness! $$ PSA 17:3 Provest thou my heart, visitest thou me in the night, Triest thou me like gold, thou shalt find nothing! $$ PSA 17:4 My thoughts do not vary from my lips. As to the deeds of men, Through the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. $$ PSA 17:5 Support my steps in thy paths, That my feet may not slip! $$ PSA 17:6 I call upon thee, O God! for thou wilt hear me; Incline thine ear to me, and listen to my prayer! $$ PSA 17:7 Show forth thy loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand Them that seek refuge in thee from their adversaries! $$ PSA 17:8 Guard me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings $$ PSA 17:9 From the wicked who assault me, From my deadly enemies who compass me about! $$ PSA 17:10 They shut up their hard heart; With their mouth they speak haughtily. $$ PSA 17:11 They encompass us in all our steps; They fix their eyes upon us, that they may cast us on the ground. $$ PSA 17:12 They are like a lion, eager for his prey; Like a young lion, lurking in secret places. $$ PSA 17:13 Arise, O LORD! disappoint them, cast them down! Deliver me from the wicked by thy sword, $$ PSA 17:14 From men, by thy hand, O LORD! from men of the world, Whose portion is in life; whom thou loadest with thy treasure; Whose children have enough, and leave their superfluity to their children. $$ PSA 17:15 But I through righteousness shall see thy face; I shall be satisfied with the revival of thy countenance. $$ PSA 18:1 ¶ I love thee, O LORD, my strength! $$ PSA 18:2 Jehovah is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I trust; My shield, my strong defence, and my high tower. $$ PSA 18:3 I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies. $$ PSA 18:4 The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay; $$ PSA 18:5 The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized upon me. $$ PSA 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears. $$ PSA 18:7 Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled. $$ PSA 18:8 A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him. $$ PSA 18:9 He bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet; $$ PSA 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. $$ PSA 18:11 And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. $$ PSA 18:12 At the brightness before him, his thick clouds passed away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire. $$ PSA 18:13 The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire. $$ PSA 18:14 He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual lightnings, and discomfited them. $$ PSA 18:15 Then the channels of the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. $$ PSA 18:16 He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep waters. $$ PSA 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me. $$ PSA 18:18 They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay. $$ PSA 18:19 He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. $$ PSA 18:20 The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. $$ PSA 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God. $$ PSA 18:22 For all his laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me. $$ PSA 18:23 I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity. $$ PSA 18:24 Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes. $$ PSA 18:25 To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright; $$ PSA 18:26 To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse. $$ PSA 18:27 For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down. $$ PSA 18:28 Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness. $$ PSA 18:29 For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls. $$ PSA 18:30 The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him. $$ PSA 18:31 Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God? $$ PSA 18:32 It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain. $$ PSA 18:33 He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places; $$ PSA 18:34 He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass. $$ PSA 18:35 Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great. $$ PSA 18:36 Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble. $$ PSA 18:37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them. $$ PSA 18:38 I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet. $$ PSA 18:39 Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me. $$ PSA 18:40 Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me. $$ PSA 18:41 They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not. $$ PSA 18:42 I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets. $$ PSA 18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me; $$ PSA 18:44 They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me; $$ PSA 18:45 Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds. $$ PSA 18:46 Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation! $$ PSA 18:47 It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me; $$ PSA 18:48 He delivered me from my enemies; Yea, thou hast lifted me up above my adversaries; Thou hast saved me from the violent man! $$ PSA 18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD! among the nations, And sing praises to thy name. $$ PSA 18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth mercy to his anointed,—To David and to his posterity for ever. $$ PSA 19:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The heavens declare the glory of God; The firmament showeth forth the work of his hands. $$ PSA 19:2 Day uttereth instruction unto day, And night showeth knowledge unto night. $$ PSA 19:3 They have no speech nor language, And their voice is not heard; $$ PSA 19:4 Yet their sound goeth forth to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, $$ PSA 19:5 Which cometh forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, And rejoiceth, like a strong man, to run his course. $$ PSA 19:6 He goeth forth from the extremity of heaven, And maketh his circuit to the end of it; And nothing is hid from his heat. $$ PSA 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; The precepts of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple; $$ PSA 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandments of the LORD are pure, enlightening the eyes; $$ PSA 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. $$ PSA 19:10 More precious are they than gold; yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. $$ PSA 19:11 By them also is thy servant warned, And in keeping of them there is great reward. $$ PSA 19:12 Who knoweth his own offences? Oh, cleanse thou me from secret faults! $$ PSA 19:13 Keep back also thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be upright; I shall not be polluted with gross transgression. $$ PSA 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer! $$ PSA 20:1 ¶ “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee! $$ PSA 20:2 May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion! $$ PSA 20:3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! [[Pause.]] $$ PSA 20:4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes! $$ PSA 20:5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions. $$ PSA 20:6 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand. $$ PSA 20:7 Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God. $$ PSA 20:8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect. $$ PSA 20:9 The LORD save the king!
