| Psalms 107 |
| 40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. |
| 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. |
| 42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. |
| 43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
| Psalms 108 |
| 1 A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
| 2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
| 3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. |
| 4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. |
| 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; |
| 6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. |
| 7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
| 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
| 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. |
| 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
| 11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
| 12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
| 13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. |
| Psalms 109 |
| 1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; |
| 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. |
| 3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. |
| 4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. |
| 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. |
| 6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. |
| 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. |
| 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. |
| 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. |
| 10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. |
| 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. |
| 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. |
| 13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. |
| 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. |
| 15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. |
| 16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. |
| 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. |
| 18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. |
| 19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. |
| 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. |
| 21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. |
| 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. |
| 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. |
| 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. |
| 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. |
| 26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: |
| 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. |
| 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. |
| 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. |
| 30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. |
| 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. |
| Psalms 110 |
| 1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. |
| 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. |
| 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. |
| 4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. |
| 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. |
| 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. |
| 7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. |
| Psalms 111 |
| 1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. |
| 2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. |
| 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. |
| 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. |
| 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. |
| 6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. |
| 7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. |
| 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. |
| 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. |
| 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. |
| Psalms 112 |
| 1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. |
| 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. |
| 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. |
| 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. |
| 5 A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. |
| 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. |
| 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. |
| 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. |
| 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. |
| 10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. |
| Psalms 113 |
| 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. |
| 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. |
| 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. |
| 4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. |
| 5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, |
| 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! |
| 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; |
| 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. |
| 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. |
| Psalms 114 |
| 1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; |
| 2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. |
