1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of
my supplications.
3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall
stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I
hope.
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the
morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I
exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of
Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go
up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the
mighty God of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the
wood.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his
footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy
saints shout for joy.
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from
it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I
shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for
evermore.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his
habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired
it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor
with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints
shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a
lamp for mine anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall
his crown flourish.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down
upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of
his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the
mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even
life for evermore.
