The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
The Book of Psalms 1-9
1:1 Blessed 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 the
scornful.
1:2 But his delight is in the law of the
LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night.
1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his
leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind
driveth away.
1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment, nor sinners
in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the
righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed, saying,
2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and
cast away their cords from
us.
2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh: the LORD shall have
them in derision.
2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his
wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill
of Zion.
2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath
said unto me, Thou art my
Son; this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of
iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel.
2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be
instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice
with trembling.
2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye
perish from the way, when
his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed
are all they that put their
trust in him.
3:1 Lord, how are they increased that
trouble me! many are they that
rise up against me.
3:2 Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in
God.
Selah.
3:3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up
of mine head.
3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and
he heard me out of his
holy hill. Selah.
3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for
the LORD sustained me.
3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of
people, that have set
themselves against me round about.
3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for
thou hast smitten all mine
enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast
broken the teeth of the
ungodly.
3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy
blessing is upon thy
people.
Selah.
4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my
righteousness: thou hast enlarged
me when I was in distress; have mercy upon
me, and hear my prayer.
4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn
my glory into shame? how
long will ye love vanity, and seek after
leasing? Selah.
4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart
him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto
him.
4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with
your own heart upon your
bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the
LORD.
4:6 There be many that say, Who will shew us
any good? LORD, lift thou
up the light of thy countenance upon us.
4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more
than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.
4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and
sleep: for thou, LORD, only
makest me dwell in safety.
5:1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider
my meditation.
5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my
King, and my God: for unto
thee will I pray.
5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning,
O LORD; in the morning
will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will
look up.
5:4 For thou art not a God that hath
pleasure in wickedness: neither
shall evil dwell with thee.
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy
sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak
leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
5:7 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.
5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness
because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
5:9 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.
5:10 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.
5:11 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.
5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the
righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
6:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger,
neither chasten me in thy
hot displeasure.
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am
weak: O LORD, heal me; for my
bones are vexed.
6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O
LORD, how long?
6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save
me for thy mercies' sake.
6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of
thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?
6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the
night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief;
it waxeth old because of
all mine enemies.
6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of
iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the
LORD will receive my
prayer.
6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and
sore vexed: let them return
and be ashamed suddenly.
7:1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my
trust: save me from all them
that persecute me, and deliver me:
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces, while
there is none to deliver.
7:3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if
there be iniquity in my
hands;
7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that
was at peace with me; (yea,
I have delivered him that without cause is
mine enemy:)
7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and
take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine
honour in the dust. Selah.
7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up
thyself because of the rage
of mine enemies: and awake for me to the
judgment that thou hast
commanded.
7:7 So shall the congregation of the people
compass thee about: for
their sakes therefore return thou on high.
7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge
me, O LORD, according to my
righteousness, and according to mine
integrity that is in me.
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come
to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God trieth the
hearts and reins.
7:10 My defence is of God, which saveth the
upright in heart.
7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is
angry with the wicked every
day.
7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword;
he hath bent his bow, and
made it ready.
7:13 He hath also prepared for him the
instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the
persecutors.
7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is
fallen into the ditch which
he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own
head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his
righteousness: and will
sing praise to the name of the LORD most
high.
8:1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy
name in all the earth! who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou
mightest still the enemy
and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of
thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of
him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower
than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour.
8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts
of the field;
8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the
sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy
name in all the earth!
9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my
whole heart; I will shew forth
all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I
will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they
shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my
cause; thou satest in the
throne judging right.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast
destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and
ever.
9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a
perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is
perished with them.
9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he
hath prepared his throne
for judgment.
9:8 And he shall judge the world in
righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the
oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
9:10 And they that know thy name will put
their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek
thee.
9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which
dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings.
9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood,
he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my
trouble which I suffer of
them that hate me, thou that liftest me up
from the gates of death:
9:14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in
the gates of the daughter
of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit
that they made: in the net
which they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which
he executeth: the wicked
is snared in the work of his own hands.
Higgaion. Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
and all the nations that
forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not alway be
forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let
the heathen be judged in
thy sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the
nations may know themselves to
be but men. Selah. |
