\par }\PsalmChap{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Blessed
{\ADD{is}} the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers.

\VS{2}But his delight
{\ADD{is}} in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

\VS{3}And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.

\VS{4}The ungodly
{\ADD{are}} not so: but
{\ADD{are}} like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

\VS{5}Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

\VS{6}For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.



\par }\PsalmChap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

\VS{2}The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
{\ADD{saying}} ,

\VS{3}Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

\VS{4}He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

\VS{5}Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure.

\VS{6}Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

\VS{7}I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou
{\ADD{art}} my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

\VS{8}Ask of me, and I will give
{\ADD{thee}} the heathen
{\ADD{for}} thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth
{\ADD{for}} thy possession.

\VS{9}Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

\VS{10}Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

\VS{11}Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

\VS{12}Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish
{\ADD{from}} the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed
{\ADD{are}} all they that put their trust in him.



\par }\PsalmChap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me? many
{\ADD{are}} they that rise up against me.

\VS{2}Many
{\ADD{there are}} who say of my soul,
{\ADD{There is}} no help for him in God. Selah.

\VS{3}But thou, O LORD,
{\ADD{art}} a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

\VS{4}I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. Selah.

\VS{5}I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

\VS{6}I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
{\ADD{themselves}} against me on all sides.

\VS{7}Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies
{\ADD{upon}} the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

\VS{8}Salvation
{\ADD{belongeth}} to the LORD: thy blessing
{\ADD{is}} upon thy people. Selah.



\par }\PsalmChap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me
{\ADD{when I was}} in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

\VS{2}O ye sons of men, how long
{\ADD{will ye turn}} my glory into shame?
{\ADD{how long}} will ye love vanity,
{\ADD{and}} seek after falsehood? Selah.

\VS{3}But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.

\VS{4}Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

\VS{5}Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

\VS{6}{\ADD{There are}} many that say, Who will show us
{\ADD{any}} good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.

\VS{7}Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time
{\ADD{when}} their corn and their wine increased.

\VS{8}I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.



\par }\PsalmChap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

\VS{2}Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to thee will I pray.

\VS{3}My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct
{\ADD{my prayer}} to thee, and will look up.

\VS{4}For thou
{\ADD{art}} not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

\VS{5}The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

\VS{6}Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

\VS{7}But as for me, I will come
{\ADD{into}} thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
{\ADD{and}} in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy temple.

\VS{8}Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness, because of my enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

\VS{9}For
{\ADD{there is}} no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
{\ADD{is}} very wickedness; their throat
{\ADD{is}} an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

\VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{12}For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as
{\ADD{with}} a shield.



\par }\PsalmChap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

\VS{2}Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I
{\ADD{am}} weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are agitated.

\VS{3}My soul is also greatly disquieted: but thou, O LORD, how long?

\VS{4}Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: Oh save me for thy mercies sake.

\VS{5}For in death
{\ADD{there is}} no remembrance of thee: in the grave who will give thee thanks?

\VS{6}I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

\VS{7}My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.

\VS{8}Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

\VS{9}The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

\VS{10}Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly disquieted: let them return
{\ADD{and}} be suddenly ashamed.



\par }\PsalmChap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

\VS{2}Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending
{\ADD{it}} in pieces, while
{\ADD{there is}} none to deliver.

\VS{3}O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;

\VS{4}If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)

\VS{5}Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take
{\ADD{it}} ; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

\VS{6}Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me
{\ADD{to}} the judgment
{\ADD{that}} thou hast commanded.

\VS{7}So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

\VS{8}The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity
{\ADD{that is}} in me.

\VS{9}Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

\VS{10}My defense
{\ADD{is}} from God, who saveth the upright in heart.

\VS{11}God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry
{\ADD{with the wicked}} every day.

\VS{12}If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

\VS{13}He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

\VS{14}Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

\VS{15}He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch
{\ADD{which}} he made.

\VS{16}His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

\VS{17}I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.



\par }\PsalmChap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent
{\ADD{is}} thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

\VS{2}Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thy enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

\VS{3}When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

\VS{4}What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

\VS{5}For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.

\VS{6}Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all
{\ADD{things}} under his feet:

\VS{7}All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;

\VS{8}The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
{\ADD{and whatever}} passeth through the paths of the seas.

\VS{9}O LORD our Lord, how excellent
{\ADD{is}} thy name in all the earth!



\par }\PsalmChap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise
{\ADD{thee}} , O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy wonderful works.

\VS{2}I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

\VS{3}When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

\VS{4}For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou sattest on the throne judging right.

\VS{5}Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

\VS{6}O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial hath perished with them.

\VS{7}But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

\VS{8}And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

\VS{9}The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

\VS{10}And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

\VS{11}Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

\VS{12}When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

\VS{13}Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble
{\ADD{which I suffer}} from them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

\VS{14}That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

\VS{15}The heathen are sunk down in the pit
{\ADD{that}} they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

\VS{16}The LORD is known
{\ADD{by}} the judgment
{\ADD{which}} he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

\VS{17}The wicked shall be turned into hell,
{\ADD{and}} all the nations that forget God.

\VS{18}For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall
{\ADD{not}} perish for ever.

\VS{19}Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

\VS{20}Put them in fear, O LORD:
{\ADD{that}} the nations may know themselves
{\ADD{to be but}} men. Selah.



\par }\PsalmChap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Why standest thou afar off, O LORD?
{\ADD{why}} hidest thou
{\ADD{thyself}} in times of trouble?

\VS{2}The wicked in
{\ADD{his}} pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

\VS{3}For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous,
{\ADD{whom}} the LORD abhorreth.

\VS{4}The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
{\ADD{after God}} : God
{\ADD{is}} not in all his thoughts.

\VS{5}His ways are always grievous; thy judgments
{\ADD{are}} far above out of his sight:
{\ADD{as for}} all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

\VS{6}He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for
{\ADD{I shall}} never
{\ADD{be}} in adversity.

\VS{7}His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue
{\ADD{is}} mischief and vanity.

\VS{8}He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

\VS{9}He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

\VS{10}He croucheth,
{\ADD{and}} humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

\VS{11}He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see
{\ADD{it}} .

\VS{12}Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble.

\VS{13}Why doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require
{\ADD{it}} .

\VS{14}Thou hast seen
{\ADD{it}} ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite
{\ADD{it}} with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

\VS{15}Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil
{\ADD{man}} : seek out his wickedness
{\ADD{till}} thou shalt find none.

\VS{16}The LORD
{\ADD{is}} King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land.

\VS{17}LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:

\VS{18}To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.



\par }\PsalmChap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician,
{\ADD{A Psalm}} of David. In the LORD I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee
{\ADD{as}} a bird to your mountain?

\VS{2}For lo, the wicked bend
{\ADD{their}} bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

\VS{3}If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

\VS{4}The LORD
{\ADD{is}} in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne
{\ADD{is}} in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

\VS{5}The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

\VS{6}Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest:
{\ADD{this shall be}} the portion of their cup.

\VS{7}For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance beholdeth the upright.



\par }\PsalmChap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

\VS{2}They speak vanity every one with his neighbor:
{\ADD{with}} flattering lips
{\ADD{and}} with a double heart do they speak.

\VS{3}The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips,
{\ADD{and}} the tongue that speaketh proud things:

\VS{4}Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
{\ADD{are}} our own: who
{\ADD{is}} lord over us?

\VS{5}For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set
{\ADD{him}} in safety
{\ADD{from him that}} puffeth at him.

\VS{6}The words of the LORD
{\ADD{are}} pure words:
{\ADD{as}} silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

\VS{7}Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

\VS{8}The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.



\par }\PsalmChap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

\VS{2}How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
{\ADD{having}} sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

\VS{3}Consider
{\ADD{and}} hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep
{\ADD{the sleep}} of death;

\VS{4}Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
{\ADD{and}} those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

\VS{5}But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

\VS{6}I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.



\par }\PsalmChap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician,
{\ADD{A Psalm}} of David. The fool hath said in his heart,
{\ADD{There is}} no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
{\ADD{there is}} none that doeth good.

\VS{2}The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand,
{\ADD{and}} seek God.

\VS{3}They are all gone aside, they are
{\ADD{all}} together become filthy:
{\ADD{there is}} none that doeth good, no, not one.

\VS{4}Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people
{\ADD{as}} they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

\VS{5}There were they in great fear: for God
{\ADD{is}} in the generation of the righteous.

\VS{6}Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD
{\ADD{is}} his refuge.

\VS{7}Oh that the salvation of Israel
{\ADD{were come}} out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
{\ADD{and}} Israel shall be glad.



\par }\PsalmChap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

\VS{2}He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

\VS{3}{\ADD{He that}} backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.

\VS{4}In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them that fear the LORD.
{\ADD{He that}} sweareth to
{\ADD{his own}} hurt, and changeth not.

\VS{5}{\ADD{He that}} putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these
{\ADD{things}} shall never be moved.



\par }\PsalmChap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

\VS{2}{\ADD{O my soul}} , thou hast said to the LORD, Thou
{\ADD{art}} my LORD: my goodness
{\ADD{extendeth}} not to thee;

\VS{3}{\ADD{But}} to the saints that
{\ADD{are}} in the earth, and
{\ADD{to}} the excellent, in whom
{\ADD{is}} all my delight.

\VS{4}Their sorrows shall be multiplied
{\ADD{that}} hasten
{\ADD{after}} another
{\ADD{god}} : their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.

\VS{5}The LORD
{\ADD{is}} the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

\VS{6}The lines have fallen to me in pleasant
{\ADD{places}} ; yes, I have a goodly heritage.

\VS{7}I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.

\VS{8}I have set the LORD always before me: because
{\ADD{he is}} at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

\VS{9}Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

\VS{10}For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

\VS{11}Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence
{\ADD{is}} fullness of joy; at thy right hand
{\ADD{are}} pleasures for evermore.



\par }\PsalmChap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer,
{\ADD{that goeth}} not out of feigned lips.

\VS{2}Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.

\VS{3}Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited
{\ADD{me}} in the night; thou hast tried me,
{\ADD{and}} shalt find nothing; I have purposed
{\ADD{that}} my mouth shall not transgress.

\VS{4}Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
{\ADD{me from}} the paths of the destroyer.

\VS{5}Uphold my goings in thy paths,
{\ADD{that}} my footsteps slip not.

\VS{6}I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me,
{\ADD{and hear}} my speech.

\VS{7}Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust
{\ADD{in thee}} from those that rise up
{\ADD{against them}} .

\VS{8}Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.

\VS{9}From the wicked that oppress me,
{\ADD{from}} my deadly enemies,
{\ADD{who}} encompass me,

\VS{10}They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

\VS{11}They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

\VS{12}Like as a lion
{\ADD{that}} is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

\VS{13}Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked,
{\ADD{who is}} thy sword:

\VS{14}From men
{\ADD{who are}} thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
{\ADD{who have}} their portion in
{\ADD{this}} life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid
{\ADD{treasure}} : they are full of children, and leave the rest of their
{\ADD{substance}} to their babes.

\VS{15}As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.



\par }\PsalmChap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}To the chief Musician,
{\ADD{A Psalm}} of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day
{\ADD{that}} the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

\VS{2}The LORD
{\ADD{is}} my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
{\ADD{and}} my high tower.

\VS{3}I will call upon the LORD,
{\ADD{who is worthy}} to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

\VS{4}The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

\VS{5}The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death seized me.

\VS{6}In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him,
{\ADD{even}} into his ears.

\VS{7}Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

\VS{8}There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

\VS{9}He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness
{\ADD{was}} under his feet.

\VS{10}And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.

\VS{11}He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him
{\ADD{were}} dark waters
{\ADD{and}} thick clouds of the skies.

\VS{12}At the brightness
{\ADD{that was}} before him his thick clouds passed, hail
{\ADD{stones}} and coals of fire.

\VS{13}The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail
{\ADD{stones}} and coals of fire.

\VS{14}Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

\VS{15}Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

\VS{16}He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

\VS{17}He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.

\VS{18}They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

\VS{19}He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

\VS{20}The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

\VS{21}For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

\VS{22}For all his judgments
{\ADD{were}} before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

\VS{23}I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

\VS{24}Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

\VS{25}With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;

\VS{26}With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.

\VS{27}For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

\VS{28}For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

\VS{29}For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

\VS{30}{\ADD{As for}} God, his way
{\ADD{is}} perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he
{\ADD{is}} a buckler to all those that trust in him.

\VS{31}For who
{\ADD{is}} God save the LORD? or who
{\ADD{is}} a rock save our God?

\VS{32}{\ADD{It is}} God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

\VS{33}He maketh my feet like hinds'
{\ADD{feet}} , and setteth me upon my high places.

\VS{34}He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

\VS{35}Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.

\VS{36}Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

\VS{37}I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

\VS{38}I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.

\VS{39}For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

\VS{40}Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

\VS{41}They cried, but
{\ADD{there was}} none to save
{\ADD{them}} :
{\ADD{even}} to the LORD, but he answered them not.

\VS{42}Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

\VS{43}Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
{\ADD{and}} thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people
{\ADD{whom}} I have not known shall serve me.

\par }\PsalmChap{78}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people,
{\ADD{to}} my law: incline your ear to the words of my mouth.

\VS{2}I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

\VS{3}Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

\VS{4}We will not hide
{\ADD{them}} from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

\VS{5}For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

\VS{6}That the generation to come might know
{\ADD{them}} ,
{\ADD{even}} the children
{\ADD{who}} should be born;
{\ADD{who}} should arise and declare
{\ADD{them}} to their children:

\VS{7}That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

\VS{8}And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation
{\ADD{that}} set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

\VS{9}The children of Ephraim,
{\ADD{being}} armed,
{\ADD{and}} carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

\VS{10}They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

\VS{11}And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shown them.

\VS{12}Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
{\ADD{in}} the field of Zoan.

\VS{13}He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as a heap.

\VS{14}In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

\VS{15}He cleaved the rocks in the wilderness, and gave
{\ADD{them}} drink as
{\ADD{out of}} the great depths.

\VS{16}He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

\VS{17}And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.

\VS{18}And they tempted God in their heart by asking food for their desire.

\VS{19}Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

\VS{20}Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

\VS{21}Therefore the LORD heard
{\ADD{this}} , and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

\VS{22}Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

\VS{23}Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

\VS{24}And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

\VS{25}Man ate angels' food: he sent them food to the full.

\VS{26}He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

\VS{27}He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

\VS{28}And he let
{\ADD{it}} fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

\VS{29}So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

\VS{30}They were not estranged from their desire: but while their meat
{\ADD{was}} yet in their mouths,

\VS{31}The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen
{\ADD{men}} of Israel.

\VS{32}For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

\VS{33}Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

\VS{34}When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

\VS{35}And they remembered that God
{\ADD{was}} their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

\VS{36}Nevertheless they flattered him with their mouth, and they lied to him with their tongues.

\VS{37}For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

\VS{38}But he,
{\ADD{being}} full of compassion, forgave
{\ADD{their}} iniquity, and destroyed
{\ADD{them}} not: yes, many a time he turned his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

\VS{39}For he remembered that they
{\ADD{were but}} flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

\VS{40}How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
{\ADD{and}} grieve him in the desert!

\VS{41}Yes, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

\VS{42}They remembered not his hand,
{\ADD{nor}} the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

\VS{43}How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

\VS{44}And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

\VS{45}He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

\VS{46}He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

\VS{47}He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.

\VS{48}He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

\VS{49}He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels
{\ADD{among them}} .

\VS{50}He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

\VS{51}And smote all the first-born in Egypt; the chief of
{\ADD{their}} strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

\VS{52}But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

\VS{53}And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

\VS{54}And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
{\ADD{even to}} this mountain,
{\ADD{which}} his right hand had purchased.

\VS{55}He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

\VS{56}Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

\VS{57}But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

\VS{58}For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

\VS{59}When God heard
{\ADD{this}} , he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

\VS{60}So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
{\ADD{which}} he placed among men;

\VS{61}And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

\VS{62}He gave over his people also to the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

\VS{63}The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

\VS{64}Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

\VS{65}Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep,
{\ADD{and}} like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

\VS{66}And he smote his enemies in the hinder part: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

\VS{67}Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

\VS{68}But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

\VS{69}And he built his sanctuary like high
{\ADD{palaces}} , like the earth which he hath established for ever.

\VS{70}He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds:

\VS{71}From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

\VS{72}So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

\VS{2}Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;

\VS{3}For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave.

\VS{4}I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man
{\ADD{that hath}} no strength:

\VS{5}Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

\VS{6}Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

\VS{7}Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted
{\ADD{me}} with all thy waves. Selah.

\VS{8}Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them:
{\ADD{I am}} shut up, and I cannot come forth.

\VS{9}My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.

\VS{10}Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise
{\ADD{and}} praise thee? Selah.

{\ADD{why}} hidest thou thy face from me?

{\ADD{while}} I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

{\ADD{is}} our king.

{\ADD{one}} chosen out of the people.

\VS{20}I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

\VS{38}But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thy anointed.

\VS{39}Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown
{\ADD{by casting it}} to the ground.

\VS{40}Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

\VS{41}All that pass by the way plunder him: he is a reproach to his neighbors.

\VS{42}Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

\VS{43}Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

\VS{44}Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

\VS{17}The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

\VS{18}And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

\VS{19}They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.

\VS{20}Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

\VS{21}They forgot God their savior, who had done great things in Egypt;

\VS{22}Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
{\ADD{and}} terrible things by the Red sea.

{\ADD{them}} .

\VS{24}Yes, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

\VS{25}But murmured in their tents,
{\ADD{and}} hearkened not to the voice of the LORD.

\VS{26}Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

\VS{27}To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

\VS{28}They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

\VS{29}Thus they provoked

\VS{30}Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and
{\ADD{so}} the plague was stayed.

\VS{31}And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for ever.

\VS{32}They angered
{\ADD{him}} also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

\VS{33}Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

\VS{34}They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

\VS{35}But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

\VS{36}And they served their idols: which were a snare to them.

\VS{37}Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,

\VS{38}And shed innocent blood,
{\ADD{even}} the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

\VS{39}Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went astray with their own inventions.
