The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
30:1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou
hast lifted me up, and hast
not made my foes to rejoice over me.
30:2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and
thou hast healed me.
30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul
from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I should not go down to
the pit.
30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his,
and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in
his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy
cometh in the morning.
30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall
never be moved.
30:7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my
mountain to stand strong:
thou didst hide thy face, and I was
troubled.
30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the
LORD I made supplication.
30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when
I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare
thy truth?
30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me:
LORD, be thou my helper.
30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning
into dancing: thou hast put
off my sackcloth, and girded me with
gladness;
30:12 To the end that my glory may sing
praise to thee, and not be
silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee
for ever.
31:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let
me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.
31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me
speedily: be thou my strong
rock, for an house of defence to save me.
31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's
sake lead me, and guide me.
31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have
laid privily for me: for
thou art my strength.
31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
thou hast redeemed me, O LORD
God of truth.
31:6 I have hated them that regard lying
vanities: but I trust in the
LORD.
31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy
mercy: for thou hast considered
my trouble; thou hast known my soul in
adversities;
31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand
of the enemy: thou hast set
my feet in a large room.
31:9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in
trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my
belly.
31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and
my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
and my bones are consumed.
31:11 I was a reproach among all mine
enemies, but especially among my
neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance:
they that did see me
without fled from me.
31:12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of
mind: I am like a broken
vessel.
31:13 For I have heard the slander of many:
fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me,
they devised to take away
my life.
31:14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said,
Thou art my God.
31:15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me
from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me.
31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy
servant: save me for thy
mercies' sake.
31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I
have called upon thee: let
the wicked be ashamed, and let them be
silent in the grave.
31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against
the righteous.
31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which
thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for
them that trust in thee
before the sons of men!
31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of
thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly
in a pavilion from the
strife of tongues.
31:21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath
shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city.
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off
from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my
supplications when I cried
unto thee.
31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints:
for the LORD preserveth the
faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the
proud doer.
31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.
32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is
covered.
32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD
imputeth not iniquity, and
in whose spirit there is no guile.
32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
through my roaring all
the day long.
32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy
upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
32:5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and
mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions
unto the LORD; and thou
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
32:6 For this shall every one that is godly
pray unto thee in a time
when thou mayest be found: surely in the
floods of great waters they
shall not come nigh unto him.
32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of
deliverance. Selah.
32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in
the way which thou shalt
go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule,
which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in
with bit and bridle, lest
they come near unto thee.
32:10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
but he that trusteth in the
LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye
righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:
for praise is comely for the
upright.
33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto
him with the psaltery and an
instrument of ten strings.
33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play
skilfully with a loud noise.
33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and
all his works are done in
truth.
33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment:
the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made; and all the host
of them by the breath of his mouth.
33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea
together as an heap: he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.
33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let
all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the
heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none
effect.
33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for
ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the
LORD; and the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
33:13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he
beholdeth all the sons of men.
33:14 From the place of his habitation he
looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
33:15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he
considereth all their
works.
33:16 There is no king saved by the
multitude of an host: a mighty man
is not delivered by much strength.
33:17 An horse is a vain thing for safety:
neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.
33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon
them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;
33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and
to keep them alive in
famine.
33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is
our help and our shield.
33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in him,
because we have trusted in
his holy name.
33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
according as we hope in thee.
34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his
praise shall continually
be in my mouth.
34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the
LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us
exalt his name together.
34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and
delivered me from all my
fears.
34:5 They looked unto him, and were
lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.
34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard
him, and saved him out of
all his troubles.
34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round
about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that
trusteth in him.
34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for
there is no want to them that
fear him.
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer
hunger: but they that seek
the LORD shall not want any good thing.
34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I
will teach you the fear of
the LORD.
34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and
loveth many days, that he
may see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy
lips from speaking guile.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek
peace, and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the
righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
34:16 The face of the LORD is against them
that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.
34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD
heareth, and delivereth them out
of all their troubles.
34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of
a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
34:19 Many are the afflictions of the
righteous: but the LORD
delivereth him out of them all.
34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of
them is broken.
34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they
that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his
servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.
35:1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that
strive with me: fight
against them that fight against me.
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and
stand up for mine help.
35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the
way against them that
persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy
salvation.
35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame
that seek after my soul:
let them be turned back and brought to
confusion that devise my hurt.
35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:
and let the angel of the
LORD chase them.
35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and
let the angel of the LORD
persecute them.
35:7 For without cause have they hid for me
their net in a pit, which
without cause they have digged for my soul.
35:8 Let destruction come upon him at
unawares; and let his net that
he hath hid catch himself: into that very
destruction let him fall.
35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the
LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.
35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is
like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor from him that is too
strong for him, yea, the poor
and the needy from him that spoileth him?
35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid
to my charge things that
I knew not.
35:12 They rewarded me evil for good to the
spoiling of my soul.
35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my
clothing was sackcloth: I
humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer
returned into mine own
bosom.
35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been
my friend or brother: I
bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for
his mother.
35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
and gathered themselves
together: yea, the abjects gathered
themselves together against me,
and I knew it not; they did tear me, and
ceased not:
35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
they gnashed upon me with
their teeth.
35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions.
35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great
congregation: I will praise
thee among much people.
35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies
wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate
me without a cause.
35:20 For they speak not peace: but they
devise deceitful matters
against them that are quiet in the land.
35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide
against me, and said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen it.
35:22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not
silence: O Lord, be not
far from me.
35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my
judgment, even unto my cause,
my God and my Lord.
35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to
thy righteousness; and let
them not rejoice over me.
35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah,
so would we have it: let
them not say, We have swallowed him up.
35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to
confusion together that
rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed
with shame and dishonour
that magnify themselves against me.
35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them say continually, Let
the LORD be magnified, which
hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.
35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy
righteousness and of thy praise
all the day long.
36:1 The transgression of the wicked saith
within my heart, that there
is no fear of God before his eyes.
36:2 For he flattereth himself in his own
eyes, until his iniquity be
found to be hateful.
36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and
deceit: he hath left off
to be wise, and to do good.
36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he
setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great
mountains; thy judgments are
a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man
and beast.
36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O
God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the
shadow of thy wings.
36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with
the fatness of thy house;
and thou shalt make them drink of the river
of thy pleasures.
36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see
light.
36:10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto
them that know thee; and thy
righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against
me, and let not the hand
of the wicked remove me.
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity
fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.
37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity.
37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like
the grass, and wither as the
green herb.
37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so
shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.
37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and
he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart.
37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust
also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass.
37:6 And he shall bring forth thy
righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently
for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.
37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the
LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it
shall not be.
37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth;
and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.
37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just,
and gnasheth upon him with
his teeth.
37:13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he
seeth that his day is
coming.
37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword,
and have bent their bow, to
cast down the poor and needy, and to slay
such as be of upright
conversation.
37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own
heart, and their bows
shall be broken.
37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is
better than the riches of
many wicked.
37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be
broken: but the LORD
upholdeth the righteous.
37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the
upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil
time: and in the days of
famine they shall be satisfied.
37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the
enemies of the LORD shall
be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume;
into smoke shall they
consume away.
37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not
again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.
37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall
inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by
the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way.
37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be
utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholdeth him with his hand.
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet
have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging
bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and
his seed is blessed.
37:27 Depart from evil, and do good; and
dwell for evermore.
37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and
forsaketh not his saints; they
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the
wicked shall be cut off.
37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein for
ever.
37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh
wisdom, and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
37:31 The law of his God is in his heart;
none of his steps shall
slide.
37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and
seeketh to slay him.
37:33 The LORD will not leave him in his
hand, nor condemn him when he
is judged.
37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way,
and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut
off, thou shalt see it.
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself
like a green bay tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was
not: yea, I sought him, but
he could not be found.
37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the
upright: for the end of
that man is peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be
destroyed together: the end of
the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is
of the LORD: he is their
strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and
deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because
they trust in him.
38:1 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath:
neither chasten me in thy hot
displeasure.
38:2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and
thy hand presseth me sore.
38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh
because of thine anger; neither
is there any rest in my bones because of my
sin.
38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine
head: as an heavy burden
they are too heavy for me.
38:5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because
of my foolishness.
38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day
long.
38:7 For my loins are filled with a
loathsome disease: and there is no
soundness in my flesh.
38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have
roared by reason of the
disquietness of my heart.
38:9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and
my groaning is not hid
from thee.
38:10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth
me: as for the light of
mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof
from my sore; and my
kinsmen stand afar off.
38:12 They also that seek after my life lay
snares for me: and they
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
and imagine deceits all
the day long.
38:13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I
was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth.
38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not,
and in whose mouth are no
reproofs.
38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou
wilt hear, O Lord my God.
38:16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise
they should rejoice over me:
when my foot slippeth, they magnify
themselves against me.
38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow
is continually before me.
38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I
will be sorry for my sin.
38:19 But mine enemies are lively, and they
are strong: and they that
hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
38:20 They also that render evil for good
are mine adversaries;
because I follow the thing that good is.
38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be
not far from me.
38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my
salvation.
39:1 I said, I will take heed to my ways,
that I sin not with my
tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle,
while the wicked is before
me.
39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my
peace, even from good; and my
sorrow was stirred.
39:3 My heart was hot within me, while I was
musing the fire burned:
then spake I with my tongue,
39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the
measure of my days, what
it is: that I may know how frail I am.
39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an
handbreadth; and mine age is
as nothing before thee: verily every man at
his best state is
altogether vanity.
Selah.
39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain
shew: surely they are
disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches,
and knoweth not who shall
gather them.
39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope
is in thee.
39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
make me not the reproach
of the foolish.
39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
because thou didst it.
39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am
consumed by the blow of
thine hand.
39:11 When thou with rebukes dost correct
man for iniquity, thou
makest his beauty to consume away like a
moth: surely every man is
vanity. Selah.
39:12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear
unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with
thee, and a sojourner, as
all my fathers were.
39:13 O spare me, that I may recover
strength, before I go hence, and
be no more.
