The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he
inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.
40:2 He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and
established my goings.
40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust
in the LORD.
40:4 Blessed is that man that maketh the
LORD his trust, and
respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn
aside to lies.
40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful
works which thou hast
done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
they cannot be reckoned
up in order unto thee: if I would declare
and speak of them, they are
more than can be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not
desire; mine ears hast thou
opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast
thou not required.
40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume
of the book it is written
of me,
40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my
heart.
40:9 I have preached righteousness in the
great congregation: lo, I
have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou
knowest.
40:10 I have not hid thy righteousness
within my heart; I have
declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:
I have not concealed thy
lovingkindness and thy truth from the great
congregation.
40:11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies
from me, O LORD: let thy
lovingkindness and thy truth continually
preserve me.
40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed
me about: mine iniquities
have taken hold upon me, so that I am not
able to look up; they are
more than the hairs of mine head: therefore
my heart faileth me.
40:13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O
LORD, make haste to help
me.
40:14 Let them be ashamed and confounded
together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven
backward and put to shame that
wish me evil.
40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of
their shame that say unto
me, Aha, aha.
40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice
and be glad in thee: let
such as love thy salvation say continually,
The LORD be magnified.
40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord
thinketh upon me: thou art
my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying,
O my God.
41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the
poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.
41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep
him alive; and he shall be
blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not
deliver him unto the will of
his enemies.
41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the
bed of languishing: thou
wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal
my soul; for I have
sinned against thee.
41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When
shall he die, and his name
perish?
41:6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh
vanity: his heart gathereth
iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he
telleth it.
41:7 All that hate me whisper together
against me: against me do they
devise my hurt.
41:8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth
fast unto him: and now that
he lieth he shall rise up no more.
41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom
I trusted, which did eat
of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against
me.
41:10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,
and raise me up, that I
may requite them.
41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me,
because mine enemy doth
not triumph over me.
41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in
mine integrity, and settest
me before thy face for ever.
41:13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from
everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
42:1 As the hart panteth after the water
brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God.
42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the
living God: when shall I come
and appear before God?
42:3 My tears have been my meat day and
night, while they continually
say unto me, Where is thy God?
42:4 When I remember these things, I pour
out my soul in me: for I had
gone with the multitude, I went with them to
the house of God, with
the voice of joy and praise, with a
multitude that kept holyday.
42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and
why art thou disquieted in
me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise
him for the help of his
countenance.
42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within
me: therefore will I
remember thee from the land of Jordan, and
of the Hermonites, from the
hill Mizar.
42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of
thy waterspouts: all thy
waves and thy billows are gone over me.
42:8 Yet the LORD will command his
lovingkindness in the day time, and
in the night his song shall be with me, and
my prayer unto the God of
my life.
42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast
thou forgotten me? why go I
mourning because of the oppression of the
enemy?
42:10 As with a sword in my bones, mine
enemies reproach me; while
they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and
why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet
praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my God.
43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause
against an ungodly nation: O
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust
man.
43:2 For thou art the God of my strength:
why dost thou cast me off?
why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy?
43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let
them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy
tabernacles.
43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God,
unto God my exceeding joy:
yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God
my God.
43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and
why art thou disquieted
within me? hope in God: for I shall yet
praise him, who is the health
of my countenance, and my God.
44:1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our
fathers have told us,
what work thou didst in their days, in the
times of old.
44:2 How thou didst drive out the heathen
with thy hand, and plantedst
them; how thou didst afflict the people, and
cast them out.
44:3 For they got not the land in possession
by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them: but thy
right hand, and thine
arm, and the light of thy countenance,
because thou hadst a favour
unto them.
44:4 Thou art my King, O God: command
deliverances for Jacob.
44:5 Through thee will we push down our
enemies: through thy name will
we tread them under that rise up against us.
44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither
shall my sword save me.
44:7 But thou hast saved us from our
enemies, and hast put them to
shame that hated us.
44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and
praise thy name for ever.
Selah.
44:9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to
shame; and goest not forth
with our armies.
44:10 Thou makest us to turn back from the
enemy: and they which hate
us spoil for themselves.
44:11 Thou hast given us like sheep
appointed for meat; and hast
scattered us among the heathen.
44:12 Thou sellest thy people for nought,
and dost not increase thy
wealth by their price.
44:13 Thou makest us a reproach to our
neighbours, a scorn and a
derision to them that are round about us.
44:14 Thou makest us a byword among the
heathen, a shaking of the head
among the people.
44:15 My confusion is continually before me,
and the shame of my face
hath covered me,
44:16 For the voice of him that reproacheth
and blasphemeth; by reason
of the enemy and avenger.
44:17 All this is come upon us; yet have we
not forgotten thee,
neither have we dealt falsely in thy
covenant.
44:18 Our heart is not turned back, neither
have our steps declined
from thy way;
44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the
place of dragons, and
covered us with the shadow of death.
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our
God, or stretched out our
hands to a strange god;
44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he
knoweth the secrets of the
heart.
44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all
the day long; we are counted
as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
arise, cast us not off for
ever.
44:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and
forgettest our affliction
and our oppression?
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the
dust: our belly cleaveth unto
the earth.
44:26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for
thy mercies' sake.
45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I
speak of the things which I
have made touching the king: my tongue is
the pen of a ready writer.
45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of
men: grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee
for ever.
45:3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most
mighty, with thy glory and
thy majesty.
45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and
meekness and righteousness; and thy right
hand shall teach thee
terrible things.
45:5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of
the king's enemies;
whereby the people fall under thee.
45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom is a right sceptre.
45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest
wickedness: therefore God,
thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy
fellows.
45:8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and
aloes, and cassia, out of
the ivory palaces, whereby they have made
thee glad.
45:9 Kings' daughters were among thy
honourable women: upon thy right
hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and
incline thine ear; forget
also thine own people, and thy father's
house;
45:11 So shall the king greatly desire thy
beauty: for he is thy Lord;
and worship thou him.
45:12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be
there with a gift; even the
rich among the people shall intreat thy
favour.
45:13 The king's daughter is all glorious
within: her clothing is of
wrought gold.
45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in
raiment of needlework: the
virgins her companions that follow her shall
be brought unto thee.
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they
be brought: they shall
enter into the king's palace.
45:16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy
children, whom thou mayest
make princes in all the earth.
45:17 I will make thy name to be remembered
in all generations:
therefore shall the people praise thee for
ever and ever.
46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble.
46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the
earth be removed, and
though the mountains be carried into the
midst of the sea;
46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and be
troubled, though the
mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
Selah.
46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof
shall make glad the city of
God, the holy place of the tabernacles of
the most High.
46:5 God is in the midst of her; she shall
not be moved: God shall
help her, and that right early.
46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were
moved: he uttered his voice,
the earth melted.
46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God
of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
what desolations he hath made
in the earth.
46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of
the earth; he breaketh
the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he
burneth the chariot in
the fire.
46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I
will be exalted among the
heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God
of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
47:1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout
unto God with the voice
of triumph.
47:2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he
is a great King over all
the earth.
47:3 He shall subdue the people under us,
and the nations under our
feet.
47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us,
the excellency of Jacob
whom he loved. Selah.
47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD
with the sound of a
trumpet.
47:6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing
praises unto our King,
sing praises.
47:7 For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with
understanding.
47:8 God reigneth over the heathen: God
sitteth upon the throne of his
holiness.
47:9 The princes of the people are gathered
together, even the people
of the God of Abraham: for the shields of
the earth belong unto God:
he is greatly exalted.
48:1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be
praised in the city of our
God, in the mountain of his holiness.
48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the
whole earth, is mount
Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of
the great King.
48:3 God is known in her palaces for a
refuge.
48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they
passed by together.
48:5 They saw it, and so they marvelled;
they were troubled, and
hasted away.
48:6 Fear took hold upon them there, and
pain, as of a woman in
travail.
48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish
with an east wind.
48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in
the city of the LORD of
hosts, in the city of our God: God will
establish it for ever. Selah.
48:9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness,
O God, in the midst of thy
temple.
48:10 According to thy name, O God, so is
thy praise unto the ends of
the earth: thy right hand is full of
righteousness.
48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the
daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
48:12 Walk about Zion, and go round about
her: tell the towers
thereof.
48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider
her palaces; that ye may
tell it to the generation following.
48:14 For this God is our God for ever and
ever: he will be our guide
even unto death.
49:1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all
ye inhabitants of the
world:
49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor,
together.
49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the
meditation of my heart
shall be of understanding.
49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I
will open my dark saying
upon the harp.
49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of
evil, when the iniquity of
my heels shall compass me about?
49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and
boast themselves in the
multitude of their riches;
49:7 None of them can by any means redeem
his brother, nor give to God
a ransom for him:
49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is
precious, and it ceaseth for
ever:)
49:9 That he should still live for ever, and
not see corruption.
49:10 For he seeth that wise men die,
likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish, and leave their
wealth to others.
49:11 Their inward thought is, that their
houses shall continue for
ever, and their dwelling places to all
generations; they call their
lands after their own names.
49:12 Nevertheless man being in honour
abideth not: he is like the
beasts that perish.
49:13 This their way is their folly: yet
their posterity approve their
sayings. Selah.
49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
death shall feed on them;
and the upright shall have dominion over
them in the morning; and
their beauty shall consume in the grave from
their dwelling.
49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the
power of the grave: for he
shall receive me. Selah.
49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made
rich, when the glory of his
house is increased;
49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry
nothing away: his glory shall
not descend after him.
49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his
soul: and men will praise
thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
49:19 He shall go to the generation of his
fathers; they shall never
see light.
49:20 Man that is in honour, and
understandeth not, is like the beasts
that perish. |
