Tuesday > Tuesday Lauds
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 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy:
yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health
of my countenance, and my God.
1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul
trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my
refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all
things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him
that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and
his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on
fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and
their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above
all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are
fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give
praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake
early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the
clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be
above all the earth.
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.
