Bible in 90 Days
14 [a]Righteousness and equity are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and truth go before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people that can [b]rejoice in thee: they shall walk in the light of thy [c]countenance, O Lord.
16 They shall rejoice continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousness shall they exalt themselves.
17 For thou art the [d]glory of their strength, and by thy favor our horns shall be exalted.
18 For our [e]shield appertaineth to the Lord, and our King to the Holy one of Israel.
19 Thou spakest then in a vision unto [f]thine Holy one, and saidest, I have laid help upon one that is [g]mighty: I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant: with mine holy oil have I anointed him.
21 Therefore mine hand shall be established with him, and mine arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not oppress him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.
23 But I will [h]destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 My truth also and my [i]mercy shall be with him, and in my Name shall his [j]horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the [k]floods.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my [l]Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my Covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure [m]forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 But if his children forsake my Law, and walk not in my judgments:
31 (A)If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.
33 [n]Yet my loving kindness will I not take from him, neither will I falsify my truth.
34 My Covenant will I not break, nor [o]alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 I have sworn once by mine holiness, [p]that I will not fail David, saying,
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne shall be as the sun before me.
37 He shall be established for evermore as the moon, and as a faithful [q]witness in the heaven. Selah.
38 But thou hast rejected and abhorred, thou hast been angry with thine anointed.
39 Thou hast [r]broken the Covenant of thy servant, and profaned his [s]crown, casting it on the ground.
40 Thou hast broken down all his walls: thou hast laid his fortresses in ruin.
41 All that go by the way, spoil him: he is a rebuke unto his neighbors.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his enemies, and made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Thou hast caused his dignity to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.
45 The days of his [t]youth hast thou shortened, and covered him with shame. Selah.
46 [u]Lord, how long wilt thou hide thyself, forever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember [v]of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vain all the children of men?
48 What man liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy servants, which I bear in my [w]bosom of all the mighty people.
51 For [x]thine enemies have reproached thee, O Lord, because they have reproached the [y]footsteps of thine Anointed.
52 Praised be the Lord for evermore. So be it, even so be it.
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [z]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [aa]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [ab]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [ac]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [ad]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [ae]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 For we are [af]consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are past in thine anger: we have [ag]spent our years as a thought.
10 The time of our life is threescore years and ten, and if they be of strength, [ah]fourscore years: yet their strength is but labor and sorrow: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 [ai]Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy fear is thine anger.
12 Teach us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto [aj]wisdom.
13 Return (O Lord, [ak]how long?) and be [al]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [am]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [an]children.
17 And let the [ao]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [ap]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
91 1 Here is described in what assurance he liveth, that putteth his whole trust in God, and commiteth himself wholly to his protection in all temptations. 14 A promise of God to those that love him, know him, and trust in him to deliver them, and give them immortal glory.
1 Who so dwelleth in the [aq]secret of the most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 [ar]I will say unto the Lord, O my hope, and my fortress: he is my God, in him will I trust.
3 Surely I will deliver thee from the [as]snare of the hunter, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He will cover thee under his wings, and thou shalt be sure under his feathers: his [at]truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 [au]Thou shalt not be afraid of the fear of the night: nor of the arrow that flieth by day:
6 Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkness: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noon day.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.
8 Doubtless with thine [av]eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.
10 There shall none evil come unto thee, neither shall any plague come near thy tabernacle.
11 [aw]For he shall give his Angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt walk upon the lion and asp: the [ax]young lion, and the dragon shalt thou tread under feet.
14 [ay]Because he hath loved me, therefore will I deliver him: I will exalt him because he hath known my Name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will hear him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 With [az]long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
92 1 This Psalm was made to be sung on the Sabbath, to stir up the people to acknowledge God, and to praise him in his works: the Prophet rejoiceth therein. 6 But the wicked is not able to consider, that the ungodly, when he is most flourishing, shall most speedily perish. 12 In the end is described the felicity of the just, planted in the house of God to praise the Lord.
A Psalm or song for the [ba]Sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing unto thy Name, O most High,
2 To declare thy loving kindness in the [bb]morning, and thy truth in the night,
3 Upon an [bc]instrument of ten strings, and upon the viol, with the song upon the harp.
4 For thou Lord, hast made me glad by thy [bd]works, and I will rejoice in the works of thine hands.
5 O Lord, how glorious are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 An [be]unwise man knoweth it not, and a fool doth not understand this,
7 (When the wicked grow as the grass, and all the workers of wickedness do flourish) that they shall be destroyed forever.
8 But thou, O Lord, art [bf]most High forevermore.
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Lord: for lo, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be destroyed.
10 [bg]But thou shalt exalt mine horn, like the unicorns, and I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine ears shall hear my wish against the wicked, that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall [bh]flourish like a palm tree, and shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Such as be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in their [bi]age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord my rock is righteous, and that none iniquity is in him.
93 1 He praiseth the power of God in the creation of the world, and beateth down all people which lift them up against his majesty, 5 and provoked to consider his promises.
1 The Lord [bj]reigneth, and is clothed with majesty: the Lord is clothed, and girded with power, the world also shall be established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy [bk]throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 [bl]The floods have lifted up, O Lord: the floods have lifted up their voice: the floods lift up their waves.
4 The waves of the sea are marvelous through the noise of many waters, yet the Lord on high is more mighty.
5 Thy [bm]testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine House, O Lord, forever.
94 1 He prayeth unto God against the violence and arrogance of tyrants, 10 warning them of God’s judgments. 12 Then doth he comfort the afflicted by the good issue of their afflictions, as he felt in himself, and did set in others, and by the ruin of the wicked, 23 whom the Lord will destroy.
1 O Lord God [bn]the avenger, O God the avenger, show thyself [bo]clearly.
2 Exalt thyself, O Judge of the world, and render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked [bp]triumph?
4 They prate and speak fiercely: all the workers of iniquity vaunt themselves.
5 They [bq]smite down thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 [br]Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye unwise among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that [bs]planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Or he that chastiseth the [bt]nations, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou [bu]chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Law,
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, while the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 Surely the Lord will not fail his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For [bv]judgment shall return to justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquity?
17 If the Lord had not [bw]helped me, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, [bx]My foot slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 In the multitude of my [by]thoughts in mine heart, thy comforts have rejoiced my soul.
20 Hath the throne of iniquity [bz]fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Law?
21 They gather them together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rock of mine hope.
23 And he will recompense them their wickedness, and [ca]destroy them in their own malice, yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.

2 Let us come before his face with praise: let us sing loud unto him with Psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all [cc]gods,
4 In whose hand are the deep places of the earth, and the [cd]heights of the mountains are his,
5 To whom the Sea belongeth, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us [ce]worship and fall down, and kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his [cf]hand: today, if ye will hear his voice,
8 [cg]Harden not your heart, as in [ch]Meribah, and as in the day of [ci]Massah in the wilderness,
9 When your fathers (B)tempted me, proved me, though they had seen my work.
10 Forty years have I contended with this generation, and said, They are a people that [cj]err in heart, for they have not known my ways.
11 Wherefore I sware in my wrath, saying, Surely they shall not enter into [ck]my rest.

A prayer [dz]of the afflicted, when he shall be in distress, and pour forth his meditation before the Lord.
1 O Lord hear my prayer, and let my [ea]cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ears unto me, when I call, make haste to hear me.
3 For my days are [eb]consumed like smoke, and my bones are burnt like an hearth.
4 Mine heart is smitten, and withered like grass, because I forgat [ec]to eat my bread.
5 For the voice of my groaning, my bones do cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a [ed]pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the deserts.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies revile me daily, and they that rage against me, have [ee]sworn against me.
9 Surely I have [ef]eaten ashes as bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of thine [eg]indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast heaved me up, and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that fadeth, and I am withered like grass.
12 But thou, O Lord, dost [eh]remain forever, and thy remembrance from generation to generation.
13 Thou wilt arise and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to have mercy thereon, for the [ei]appointed time is come.
14 For thy servants delight in the [ej]stones thereof, and have pity on the dust thereof.
15 Then the heathen shall fear the Name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory,
16 When the Lord shall build up Zion, and shall appear [ek]in his glory,
17 And shall turn unto the prayer of the desolate, and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be [el]created, shall praise the Lord.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his Sanctuary: out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth,
20 That he might hear the mourning of the prisoner, and deliver the [em]children of death.

22 When the people shall be gathered [en]together, and the kingdoms to serve the Lord.

25 Thou hast aforetime laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thine hands.
26 [ep]They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: even they all shall wax old as doth a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall stand [eq]fast in thy sight.
103 1 He provoketh all to praise the Lord, which hath pardoned his sins, delivered him from destruction and given him sufficient of all good things. 10 Then he addeth the tender mercies of God, which he showeth like a most tender Father toward his children. 14 The frailty of man’s life. 20 An exhortation to man and Angels to praise the Lord.
A Psalm of David.
1 My soul, [er]praise thou the Lord, and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.
2 My soul, praise thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefits.
3 Which [es]forgiveth all thine iniquity, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the [et]grave; and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy [eu]youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment to all that are oppressed.
7 He made his ways known unto [ev]Moses, and his works unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 He will not always [ew]chide, neither keep his anger forever.
10 He hath not [ex]dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heaven is above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as [ey]the East is from the West: so far hath he removed our sins from us.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembereth that we are but dust.
15 The days of [ez]man are as grass: as a flower of the field, so flourisheth he.
16 For the wind goeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the loving kindness of the Lord endureth forever and ever upon them that fear him, and his [fa]righteousness upon children’s children,
18 Unto them that keep his [fb]covenant, and think upon his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Praise the Lord, ye [fc]his Angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandment in obeying the voice of his word.
21 Praise the Lord all ye his hosts, ye his servants that do his pleasure.
22 Praise the Lord all ye his works, in all places of his dominion: my soul, praise thou the Lord.
104 1 An excellent Psalm to praise God for the creation of the world, and the governance of the same by his marvelous providence. 35 Wherein the Prophet prayeth against the wicked, who are occasions that God diminisheth his blessings.
1 My soul, praise thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art [fd]clothed with glory and honor.
2 Which covereth himself with light, as with a garment, and spreadeth the heavens like a curtain.
3 Which layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind.
4 Which [fe]maketh the spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
5 He set the earth upon her foundations, so that it shall never move.
6 Thou coverest it with the [ff]deep as with a garment: the [fg]waters would stand above the mountains.
7 But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of thy thunder they haste away.
8 And the mountains ascend, and the valleys descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
9 But thou hast set them a bound which they shall not pass: they shall not return to cover the earth.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run between the mountains.
11 They shall give drink to all the [fh]beasts of the field, and the wild asses shall quench their thirst.
12 By these [fi]springs shall the fowls of the heaven dwell, and sing among the branches.
13 He watereth the mountains from his [fj]chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
14 He causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the use of [fk]man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.
16 The high trees are satisfied, even the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17 That the birds may make their nests there: the stork dwelleth in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the [fl]goats: the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19 He appointed [fm]the moon for certain seasons: [fn]the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21 The lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat [fo]at God.
22 When the sun riseth, they retire, and couch in their dens.
23 [fp]Then goeth man forth to his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24 O Lord, how [fq]manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 So is the sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beasts and great.
26 There go the ships, yea that [fr]Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 [fs]All these wait upon thee, that thou mayest give them food in due season.
28 Thou givest it to them, and they gather it, thou openest thy hand, and they are filled with good things.
29 But if thou [ft]hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they die and return to their dust:
30 Again if thou [fu]send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Glory be to the Lord forever: let the Lord rejoice in his works.
32 He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountains, and they [fv]smoke.
33 I will sing unto the Lord all my life: I will praise my God, while I live.
34 Let my words be acceptable unto him: I will rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let the sinners be [fw]consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soul, praise thou the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
105 1 He praiseth the singular grace of God, who hath of all the people of the world chosen a peculiar people to himself, and having chosen them, never ceaseth to do them good, even for his promise’s sake.
1 Praise the Lord, and call upon his Name: [fx]declare his works among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing praise unto him, and talk of all his wondrous works.
3 Rejoice in his holy Name, let the heart of them that seek the Lord, rejoice.
4 Seek the Lord and his [fy]strength: seek his face continually.
5 Remember his [fz]marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the [ga]judgments of his mouth,
6 Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, which are his elect.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are through all the earth.
8 He hath always remembered his covenant, and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
9 Even that which he [gb]made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac:
10 And since hath confirmed it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, [gc]Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12 Albeit they were few in number, yea very few, and strangers in the land,
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
14 Yet suffered he no man to do them wrong, but reproved [gd]Kings for their sakes, saying,
15 Touch not mine [ge]anointed, and do my [gf]Prophets no harm.
16 Moreover, he called a famine upon the land, and utterly brake the [gg]staff of bread.
17 But he sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They held his feet in the stocks, and he was laid in irons,
19 Until [gh]his appointed time came, and the counsel of the Lord had tried him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: even the Ruler of the people delivered him.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
22 That he should bind his [gi]princes unto his will, and teach his Ancients wisdom.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their oppressors.
25 [gj]He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal craftily with his servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They showed among them the message of his signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark: and they were not [gk]disobedient unto his commission.
29 (E)He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 (F)Their land brought forth frogs, even in their King’s chambers.
31 He [gl]spake, and there came swarms of flies and lice in all their quarters.
32 He gave them [gm]hail for rain, and flames of fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees, and brake down the trees in their coasts.
34 [gn]He spake and the grasshoppers came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 And did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 (G)He smote also all the firstborn in their land, even the beginning of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold, and there was [go]none feeble among their tribes.
38 Egypt was [gp]glad at their departing: for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread a cloud to be a covering, and fire to give light in the night.
40 They [gq]asked, and he brought quails, and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the water flowed out, and ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy [gr]promise to Abraham his servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with [gs]joy, and his chosen with gladness,
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen, and they took the labors of the people in possession,
45 That they might [gt]keep his statutes, and observe his Laws. Praise ye the Lord.
106 1 The people dispersed under Antiochus, do magnify the goodness of God among the just and repentant: 4 Desiring to be brought again into the land by God’s merciful visitation. 8 And after the manifold marvels of God wrought in their deliverance forth of Egypt, And the great ingratitude of the people rehearsed. 47 They do pray and desire to be gathered from among the heathen, to the intent that they may praise the Name of the God of Israel.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Praise [gu]ye the Lord because he is good, for his mercy endureth forever.
2 Who can express the noble acts of the Lord, or show forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they that [gv]keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the [gw]favor of thy people: visit me with thy salvation,
5 That I may see the felicity of thy chosen, and rejoice in the joy of thy people, and glory with thine inheritance.
6 We have [gx]sinned with our fathers: we have committed iniquity, and done wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembered they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, even at the red sea.
8 Nevertheless he [gy]saved them for his Name’s sake, that he might make his power to be known.
9 And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dried up, and he led them in the deep, as in the wilderness.
10 And he saved them from the adversary’s hand, and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
11 (H)And the waters covered their oppressors: not one of them was left.
12 Then [gz]believed they his words, and sang praise unto him.
13 But incontinently they forgat his works, they waited not for his [ha]counsel,
14 But lusted with concupiscence in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 Then he gave them their desire: but he sent [hb]leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the tents, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17 Therefore the earth opened and [hc]swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 And the fire was kindled in their assembly: the flame burnt up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20 Thus they turned their [hd]glory into the similitude of a bullock, that eateth grass.
21 They forgat God their Savior, which had done great things in Egypt,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the red sea.
23 Therefore he minded to destroy them, had [he]not Moses his chosen stood in the breach before him to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24 Also they contemned [hf]that pleasant land, and believed not his word,
25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore [hg]he lifted up his hand against them, to destroy them in the wilderness,
27 And to destroy their seed among the nations, and to scatter them throughout the countries.
28 They joined themselves also unto [hh]Baal of Peor, and did eat the offerings of the [hi]dead.
29 Thus they [hj]provoked him unto anger with their own inventions, and the plague brake in upon them.
30 But [hk]Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed.
31 (I)And it was [hl]imputed unto him for righteousness from generation to generation forever.
32 They angered him also at the waters of (J)Meribah, so that [hm]Moses was punished for their sakes,
33 Because they vexed his Spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 Neither destroyed they the people, as the Lord had commanded them,
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works,
36 And served their idols, which were their ruin.
37 Yea, they offered their [hn]sons, and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons, and of their daughters whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan, and the land was defiled with blood.
39 Thus were they stained with their own works, and went [ho]a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them were lords over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled under their hand.
43 Many [hp]a time did he deliver them, but they provoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought down by their iniquity.
44 Yet he saw when they were in affliction, and he heard their cry.
45 And he remembered his covenant toward them, and [hq]repented according to the multitude of his mercies,
46 And gave them favor in the sight of all them that led them captives.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and [hr]gather us from among the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, and glory in thy praise.
48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel forever and ever, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise ye the Lord.
107 1 The Prophet exhorteth all those that are redeemed by the Lord and gathered unto him, to give thanks, 9 for this merciful providence of God governing all things at his good pleasures, 20 sending good and evil, prosperity and adversity to bring men unto him. 42 Therefore as the righteous thereat rejoice, so shall the wicked have their mouth stopped.
1 Praise [hs]the Lord, because he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
2 Let them, [ht]which have been redeemed of the Lord, show how he hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor,
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the [hu]South.
4 When they wandered in the desert and wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in,
5 [hv]Both hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress,
7 And led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.
9 For he satisfied the thirsty soul, and filled the hungry soul with goodness.
10 They that dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in misery and iron,
11 Because they [hw]rebelled against the words of the Lord, and despised the counsel of the most High,
12 When he humbled their heart with heaviness, then they fell down, and there was no helper.
13 Then they [hx]cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death, and brake their bands asunder.
15 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving-kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.
16 For he hath broken the [hy]gates of brass, and burst the bars of iron asunder,
17 [hz]Fools by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all meat, and they are brought to death’s door.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivereth them from their distress.
20 [ia]He sendeth his word and healeth them, and delivereth them from their [ib]graves.
21 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men,
22 And let them offer sacrifices of [ic]praise, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the [id]sea in ships, and occupy by the great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, and it lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, and descend to the deep, so that their soul [ie]melteth for trouble.
27 They are tossed to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their [if]cunning is gone.
28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distress.
29 He turneth the storm to calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 When they are [ig]quieted, they are glad, and he bringeth them unto the haven, where they would be.
31 Let them therefore confess before the Lord his loving kindness, and his wonderful works before the sons of men.
32 And let them exalt him in the [ih]congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.
33 He turneth the floods to a wilderness, and the springs of waters into dryness,
34 And a fruitful land into [ii]barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 Again he [ij]turneth the wilderness into pools of water, and the dry land into water springs.
36 And there he placeth the hungry, and they build a city to dwell in,
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which bring forth fruitful [ik]increase.
38 For he blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, and he diminisheth not their cattle.
39 [il]Again men are diminished, and brought low by oppression, evil and sorrow.
40 He poureth [im]contempt upon princes, and causeth them to err in desert places out of the way.
41 Yet he raiseth up the poor out of misery, and maketh him families like a flock of sheep.
42 The [in]righteous shall see it, and rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Who is wise that he may observe these things? for they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord.
108 This Psalm is composed of two other Psalms before the seven and fiftieth and the sixtieth. The matter here contained is, 1 That David giveth himself with heart and voice to praise the Lord, 7 and assureth himself of the promise of God concerning his kingdom over Israel, and his power against other nations: 11 Who though he seem to forsake us for a time, yet he alone will in the end cast down our enemies.
A song or Psalm of David.
1 O God, mine heart is [io]prepared, so is [ip]my tongue: I will sing and give praise.
2 Awake viol and harp, I will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the [iq]people, and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
5 [ir]Exalt thyself, O God, above the heavens, and let thy glory be upon all the earth,
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: [is]help with thy right hand and hear me.
7 God hath spoken in his [it]holiness: therefore I will rejoice, I shall divide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead shall be mine, and Manasseh shall be mine: Ephraim also shall be the strength of mine head: Judah is my lawgiver.
9 (K)Moab shall be my washpot: over Edom will I cast out my shoe: upon Palestine will I triumph.
10 Who will lead me into the strong city? who will bring me unto Edom?
11 [iu]Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst forsaken us, and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Give us help against trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he shall tread down our enemies.
