The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why
hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?
10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute
the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have
imagined.
10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's
desire, and blesseth the
covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his
countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy
judgments are far above out of
his sight: as for all his enemies, he
puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not
be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit
and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.
10:8 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.
10:9 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.
10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself,
that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.
10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath
forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.
10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine
hand: forget not the humble.
10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?
he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.
10:14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest
mischief and spite, to
requite it with thy hand: the poor
committeth himself unto thee; thou
art the helper of the fatherless.
10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and
the evil man: seek out his
wickedness till thou find none.
10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever:
the heathen are perished out
of his land.
10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of
the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine
ear to hear:
10:18 To judge the fatherless and the
oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.
11:1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye
to my soul, Flee as a bird
to your mountain?
11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow
upon the string, that they may privily shoot
at the upright in heart.
11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what
can the righteous do?
11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the
LORD's throne is in heaven:
his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the
children of men.
11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the
wicked and him that loveth
violence his soul hateth.
11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares,
fire and brimstone, and an
horrible tempest: this shall be the portion
of their cup.
11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth
righteousness; his countenance doth
behold the upright.
12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth;
for the faithful fail from
among the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his
neighbour: with flattering
lips and with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering
lips, and the tongue that
speaketh proud things:
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we
prevail; our lips are our
own: who is lord over us?
12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the
sighing of the needy, now
will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him
in safety from him that
puffeth at him.
12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou
shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the
vilest men are exalted.
13:1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD?
for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?
13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my
soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be
exalted over me?
13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;
13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed
against him; and those that
trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my
heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he
hath dealt bountifully with
me.
14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There
is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth
good.
14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon
the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, and
seek God.
14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all
together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and call not upon
the LORD.
14:5 There were they in great fear: for God
is in the generation of
the righteous.
14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
because the LORD is his
refuge.
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were
come out of Zion! when the
LORD bringeth back the captivity of his
people, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
holy hill?
15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh
righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.
15:3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue,
nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbour.
15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is
contemned; but he honoureth them
that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his
own hurt, and changeth
not.
15:5 He that putteth not out his money to
usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these
things shall never be moved.
16:1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I
put my trust.
16:2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the
LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;
16:3 But to the saints that are in the
earth, and to the excellent, in
whom is all my delight.
16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
hasten after another god:
their drink offerings of blood will I not
offer, nor take up their
names into my lips.
16:5 The LORD is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot.
16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
16:7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given
me counsel: my reins also
instruct me in the night seasons.
16:8 I have set the LORD always before me:
because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoiceth: my flesh also
shall rest in hope.
16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in
hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in
thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore.
17:1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my
cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
17:2 Let my sentence come forth from thy
presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.
17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast
visited me in the night;
thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing;
I am purposed that my
mouth shall not transgress.
17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the
word of thy lips I have kept
me from the paths of the destroyer.
17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my
footsteps slip not.
17:6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt
hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
17:7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O
thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust in
thee from those that rise up
against them.
17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide
me under the shadow of thy
wings,
17:9 From the wicked that oppress me, from
my deadly enemies, who
compass me about.
17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat:
with their mouth they speak
proudly.
17:11 They have now compassed us in our
steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the earth;
17:12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his
prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in secret places.
17:13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast
him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, which is thy sword:
17:14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD,
from men of the world,
which have their portion in this life, and
whose belly thou fillest
with thy hid treasure: they are full of
children, and leave the rest
of their substance to their babes.
17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in
righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
18:1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
18:2 The LORD 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, and my high tower.
18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is
worthy to be praised: so shall
I be saved from mine enemies.
18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and
the floods of ungodly men
made me afraid.
18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:
the snares of death
prevented me.
18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD,
and cried unto my God: he
heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him, even
into his ears.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the
foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was
wroth.
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his
nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came
down: and darkness was under
his feet.
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did
fly: yea, he did fly upon the
wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his
pavilion round about him
were dark waters and thick clouds of the
skies.
18:12 At the brightness that was before him
his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.
18:13 The LORD also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his
voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them; and he shot out
lightnings, and discomfited them.
18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen,
and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O
LORD, at the blast of the
breath of thy nostrils.
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he
drew me out of many waters.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and from them which hated
me: for they were too strong for me.
18:18 They prevented me in the day of my
calamity: but the LORD was my
stay.
18:19 He brought me forth also into a large
place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my
righteousness; according to
the cleanness of my hands hath he
recompensed me.
18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
18:22 For all his judgments were before me,
and I did not put away his
statutes from me.
18:23 I was also upright before him, and I
kept myself from mine
iniquity.
18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me
according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of
my hands in his eyesight.
18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew
thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself
pure; and with the froward
thou wilt shew thyself froward.
18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted
people; but wilt bring down
high looks.
18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the
LORD my God will enlighten my
darkness.
18:29 For by thee I have run through a
troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall.
18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the
word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in
him.
18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who
is a rock save our God?
18:32 It is God that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh my way
perfect.
18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
and setteth me upon my high
places.
18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a
bow of steel is broken by
mine arms.
18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of
thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy
gentleness hath made me great.
18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.
18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and
overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed.
18:38 I have wounded them that they were not
able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.
18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength
unto the battle: thou hast
subdued under me those that rose up against
me.
18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of
mine enemies; that I might
destroy them that hate me.
18:41 They cried, but there was none to save
them: even unto the LORD,
but he answered them not.
18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust
before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the
strivings of the people; and
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a
people whom I have not
known shall serve me.
18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall
obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves unto me.
18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be
afraid out of their close
places.
18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my
rock; and let the God of my
salvation be exalted.
18:47 It is God that avengeth me, and
subdueth the people under me.
18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies:
yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise up against me: thou
hast delivered me from the
violent man.
18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto
thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his
king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David, and to his seed for
evermore.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth
his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night
unto night sheweth
knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where
their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the
earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a
tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of
his chamber, and rejoiceth
as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the
heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing
hid from the heat thereof.
19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise
the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring
for ever: the judgments
of the LORD are true and righteous
altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold,
yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.
19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse
thou me from secret
faults.
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from
presumptuous sins; let them not
have dominion over me: then shall I be
upright, and I shall be
innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my
strength, and my redeemer. |
