Psalms 113:1-119:176 Praise ye LORD. Praise, O ye servants of LORD. Praise the name of LORD.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Praise ye LORD. Praise, O ye servants of LORD. Praise the name of LORD. ² Blessed be the name of LORD from this time forth and for evermore. ³ From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same LORD's name is to be praised. ⁴ LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. ⁵ Who is like LORD our God who has his seat on high, ⁶ and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth. ⁷ He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill, ⁸ that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people. ⁹ He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁴ ¹ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, ² Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. ³ The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back. ⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. ⁵ What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back? ⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs? ⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters. ¹¹⁵ ¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake. ² Why should the nations say, Where is now their God? ³ But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased. ⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not. ⁶ They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not. ⁷ They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat. ⁸ Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them. ⁹ O Israel, trust thou in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust ye in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹¹ Ye who fear LORD, trust in LORD. He is their help and their shield. ¹² LORD has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. ¹³ He will bless those who fear LORD, both small and great. ¹⁴ LORD increase you more and more, you and your sons. ¹⁵ Blessed are ye of LORD who made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of LORD, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. ¹⁷ The dead do not praise LORD, nor any who go down into silence, ¹⁸ but we will bless LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁶ ¹ I love LORD because he hears my voice and my supplications. ² Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live. ³ The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called upon the name of LORD. O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is LORD, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. ⁷ Return to thy rest, O my soul, for LORD has dealt bountifully with thee. ⁸ For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted. ¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are liars. ¹² What shall I render to LORD for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of LORD is the death of his sanctified. ¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁷ ¹ O praise LORD, all ye Gentiles, laud him, all ye peoples. ² For his loving kindness is great toward us, and the truth of LORD is forever. Praise ye LORD. ¹¹⁸ ¹ O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ² Let Israel now say that his loving kindness is forever. ³ Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness is forever. ⁴ Let those now who fear LORD say that his loving kindness is forever. ⁵ Out of my distress I called upon LORD. LORD answered me upon a large place. ⁶ LORD is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me? ⁷ LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I shall look upon those who hate me. ⁸ It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in man. ⁹ It is better to take refuge in LORD than to put confidence in rulers. ¹⁰ All nations encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹¹ They encompassed me around, yea, they encompassed me around. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹² They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of LORD I will cut them off. ¹³ Thou thrusted greatly at me that I might fall, but LORD helped me. ¹⁴ LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. ¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. ¹⁶ The right hand of LORD is exalted. The right hand of LORD does valiantly. ¹⁷ I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of LORD. ¹⁸ LORD has chastened me greatly, but he has not given me over to death. ¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to LORD. ²⁰ This is the gate of LORD. The righteous shall enter into it. ²¹ I will give thanks to thee, for thou have answered me, and have become my salvation. ²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. ²³ This is LORD's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. ²⁴ This is the day which LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. ²⁵ Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD. O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. ²⁶ Blessed be he who comes in the name of LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of LORD. ²⁷ LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. ²⁸ Thou are my God, and I will give thanks to thee. Thou are my God, I will exalt thee. ²⁹ O give thanks to LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever. ¹¹⁹ ¹ Blessed are those who are perfect in the way, who walk in the law of LORD. ² Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart. ³ Yea, they do no unrighteousness. They walk in his ways. ⁴ Thou have commanded thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently. ⁵ O that my ways were established to observe thy statutes! ⁶ Then I shall not be put to shame when I have respect for all thy commandments. ⁷ I will give thanks to thee with uprightness of heart when I learn thy righteous judgments. ⁸ I will observe thy statutes. O forsake me not utterly. ⁹ With what shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to thy word. ¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought thee. O let me not wander from thy commandments. ¹¹ I have laid thy word up in my heart that I might not sin against thee. ¹² Blessed are thou, O LORD. Teach me thy statutes. ¹³ With my lips I have declared all the ordinances of thy mouth. ¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as much as in all riches. ¹⁵ I will meditate on thy precepts, and have respect for thy ways. ¹⁶ I will delight myself in thy statutes. I will not forget thy word. ¹⁷ Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may live, so I will observe thy word. ¹⁸ Open thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. ¹⁹ I am a sojourner in the earth. Hide not thy commandments from me. ²⁰ My soul breaks for the longing that it has to thine ordinances at all times. ²¹ Thou have rebuked the proud, who are cursed, who wander from thy commandments. ²² Take away from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept thy testimonies. ²³ Rulers also sat and talked against me, but thy servant meditated on thy statutes. ²⁴ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. ²⁵ My soul clings to the dust. Enliven thou me according to thy word. ²⁶ I declared my ways, and thou answered me. Teach me thy statutes. ²⁷ Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, so I shall meditate on thy wondrous works. ²⁸ My soul melts for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to thy word. ²⁹ Remove from me the way of falsehood, and grant me thy law graciously. ³⁰ I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set thine ordinances. ³¹ I cling to thy testimonies. O LORD, put me not to shame. ³² I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shall enlarge my heart. ³³ Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. ³⁴ Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law, yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. ³⁵ Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein do I delight. ³⁶ Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. ³⁷ Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and enliven me in thy ways. ³⁸ Confirm to thy servant thy word, which is for the fear of thee. ³⁹ Turn away my reproach of which I am afraid, for thine ordinances are good. ⁴⁰ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts. Enliven me in thy righteousness. ⁴¹ Let thy loving kindnesses also come to me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. ⁴² So I shall have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in thy word. ⁴³ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in thine ordinances. ⁴⁴ So shall I observe thy law continually forever and ever. ⁴⁵ And I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts. ⁴⁶ I also will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be put to shame. ⁴⁷ And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. ⁴⁸ I will also lift up my hands to thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate on thy statutes. ⁴⁹ Remember the word to thy servant, because thou have made me to hope. ⁵⁰ This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy word has revived me. ⁵¹ The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet I have not swerved from thy law. ⁵² I have remembered thine ordinances of old, O LORD, and have comforted myself. ⁵³ Hot indignation has taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law. ⁵⁴ Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. ⁵⁵ I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have observed thy law. ⁵⁶ This I have had because I have kept thy precepts. ⁵⁷ LORD is my portion; I have said that I would observe thy words. ⁵⁸ I entreated thy favor with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to thy word. ⁵⁹ I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. ⁶⁰ I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments. ⁶¹ The cords of the wicked have wrapped me around, but I have not forgotten thy law. ⁶² At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee because of thy righteous ordinances. ⁶³ I am a companion of all those who fear thee, and of those who observe thy precepts. ⁶⁴ The earth, O LORD, is full of thy loving kindness. Teach me thy statutes. ⁶⁵ Thou have dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. ⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed in thy commandments. ⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe thy word. ⁶⁸ Thou are good, and do good. Teach me thy statutes. ⁶⁹ The proud have forged a lie against me. With my whole heart I will keep thy precepts. ⁷⁰ Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in thy law. ⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes. ⁷² The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. ⁷³ Thy hands have made me and fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments. ⁷⁴ Those who fear thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hoped in thy word. ⁷⁵ I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou have afflicted me. ⁷⁶ Let, I pray thee, thy loving kindness be for my comfort according to thy word to thy servant. ⁷⁷ Let thy tender mercies come to me that I may live, for thy law is my delight. ⁷⁸ Let the proud be put to shame, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on thy precepts. ⁷⁹ Let those who fear thee turn to me, and they shall know thy testimonies. ⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I be not put to shame. ⁸¹ My soul faints for thy salvation. I hope in thy word. ⁸² My eyes fail for thy word, while I say, When will thou comfort me? ⁸³ For I have become like a wine-skin in the smoke. Yet I do not forget thy statutes. ⁸⁴ How many are the days of thy servant? When will thou execute judgment on those who persecute me? ⁸⁵ The proud have dug pits for me, who are not according to thy law. ⁸⁶ All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help thou me. ⁸⁷ They had almost consumed me upon earth, but I did not forsake thy precepts. ⁸⁸ Revive me according to thy loving kindness, so I shall observe the testimony of thy mouth. ⁸⁹ Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. ⁹⁰ Thy faithfulness is to all generations. Thou have established the earth, and it abides. ⁹¹ They abide this day according to thine ordinances, for all things are thy servants. ⁹² Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction. ⁹³ I will never forget thy precepts, for with them thou have enlivened me. ⁹⁴ I am thine. Save me, for I have sought thy precepts. ⁹⁵ The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider thy testimonies. ⁹⁶ I have seen an end of all perfection. Thy commandment is exceedingly broad. ⁹⁷ O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. ⁹⁸ Thy commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. ⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. ¹⁰⁰ I understand more than the aged because I have kept thy precepts. ¹⁰¹ I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might observe thy word. ¹⁰² I have not turned aside from thine ordinances, for thou have taught me. ¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words to my taste, than honey to my mouth! ¹⁰⁴ Through thy precepts I get understanding. Therefore I hate every false way. ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and light to my path. ¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will observe thy righteous ordinances. ¹⁰⁷ I am afflicted very much. Revive me, O LORD, according to thy word. ¹⁰⁸ Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thine ordinances. ¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget thy law. ¹¹⁰ The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not gone astray from thy precepts. ¹¹¹ I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. ¹¹² I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes forever, even to the end. ¹¹³ I hate those who are of a double mind, but I love thy law. ¹¹⁴ Thou are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in thy word. ¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. ¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and let me not be ashamed of my hope. ¹¹⁷ Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe, and shall have respect for thy statutes continually. ¹¹⁸ Thou have set at nothing all those who err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. ¹¹⁹ Thou put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love thy testimonies. ¹²⁰ My flesh trembles for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. ¹²¹ I have done justice and righteousness. Leave me not to my oppressors. ¹²² Be surety for thy servant for good. Let not the proud oppress me. ¹²³ My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for thy righteous word. ¹²⁴ Deal with thy servant according to thy loving kindness, and teach me thy statutes. ¹²⁵ I am thy servant. Give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. ¹²⁶ It is time for LORD to work. They have made void thy law. ¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold. ¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all precepts concerning all things to be right. I hate every false way. ¹²⁹ Thy testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them. ¹³⁰ The opening of thy words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple. ¹³¹ I opened wide my mouth, and panted, for I longed for thy commandments. ¹³² Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, as thou used to do to those who love thy name. ¹³³ Establish my footsteps in thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. ¹³⁴ Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe thy precepts. ¹³⁵ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. ¹³⁶ Streams of water run down my eyes, because they do not observe thy law. ¹³⁷ Thou are righteous, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. ¹³⁸ Thou have commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness. ¹³⁹ My zeal has consumed me, because my adversaries have forgotten thy words. ¹⁴⁰ Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loves it. ¹⁴¹ I am small and despised. I do not forget thy precepts. ¹⁴² Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth. ¹⁴³ Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me. Thy commandments are my delight. ¹⁴⁴ Thy testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, and I shall live. ¹⁴⁵ I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, O LORD. I will keep thy statutes. ¹⁴⁶ I have called to thee. Save me, and I shall observe thy testimonies. ¹⁴⁷ I anticipated the dawning of the morning, and cried. I hoped in thy words. ¹⁴⁸ My eyes anticipated the night-watches that I might meditate on thy word. ¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according to thy loving kindness. Enliven me, O LORD, according to thine ordinances. ¹⁵⁰ They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from thy law. ¹⁵¹ Thou are near, O LORD, and all thy commandments are truth. ¹⁵² Of old I have known from thy testimonies that thou have founded them forever. ¹⁵³ Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I do not forget thy law. ¹⁵⁴ Plead thou my cause, and redeem me. Enliven me according to thy word. ¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far from the wicked, for they seek not thy statutes. ¹⁵⁶ Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD.
