1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to
shine upon us; Selah.
2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all
nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own
God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before
me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy
sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be
clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall
be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy
free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer
bullocks upon thine altar.
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto
thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning
will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither
shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy
mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is
very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with
their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have
rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them
ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that
love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there
is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be
found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off
to be wise, and to do good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are
a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see
light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand
of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise
him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above
the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they
were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a
decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his
word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of
the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is
excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his
saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise
ye the LORD.
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his
praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of
Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises
unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the
meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon
their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged
sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the
people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all
his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in
the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his
excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the
psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high
sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
