The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
50:1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath
spoken, and called the earth
from the rising of the sun unto the going
down thereof.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined.
50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep
silence: a fire shall
devour before him, and it shall be very
tempestuous round about him.
50:4 He shall call to the heavens from
above, and to the earth, that
he may judge his people.
50:5 Gather my saints together unto me;
those that have made a
covenant with me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his
righteousness: for God is judge
himself. Selah.
50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O
Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.
50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy
sacrifices or thy burnt
offerings, to have been continually before
me.
50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy
house, nor he goats out of thy
folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.
50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:
and the wild beasts of
the field are mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell
thee: for the world is mine,
and the fulness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or
drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay
thy vows unto the most
High:
50:15 And call upon me in the day of
trouble: I will deliver thee, and
thou shalt glorify me.
50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What
hast thou to do to declare
my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my
covenant in thy mouth?
50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and
casteth my words behind
thee.
50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou
consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with adulterers.
50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy
tongue frameth deceit.
50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy
brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
50:21 These things hast thou done, and I
kept silence; thou thoughtest
that I was altogether such an one as
thyself: but I will reprove thee,
and set them in order before thine eyes.
50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God,
lest I tear you in
pieces, and there be none to deliver.
50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me:
and to him that ordereth
his conversation aright will I shew the
salvation of God.
51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to
thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender
mercies blot out my
transgressions.
51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
and my sin is ever before
me.
51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in thy
sight: that thou mightest be justified when
thou speakest, and be
clear when thou judgest.
51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and
in sin did my mother
conceive me.
51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the
inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know
wisdom.
51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
clean: wash me, and I shall
be whiter than snow.
51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that
the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot
out all mine iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and
renew a right spirit
within me.
51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy
salvation; and uphold me with thy
free spirit.
51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy
ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O
God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of
thy righteousness.
51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my
mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.
51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else
would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise.
51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto
Zion: build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the
sacrifices of righteousness,
with burnt offering and whole burnt
offering: then shall they offer
bullocks upon thine altar.
52:1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief,
O mighty man? the goodness
of God endureth continually.
52:2 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a
sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and
lying rather than to speak
righteousness. Selah.
52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou
deceitful tongue.
52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for
ever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling
place, and root thee out of
the land of the living. Selah.
52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear,
and shall laugh at him:
52:7 Lo, this is the man that made not God
his strength; but trusted
in the abundance of his riches, and
strengthened himself in his
wickedness.
52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the
house of God: I trust in
the mercy of God for ever and ever.
52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because
thou hast done it: and I
will wait on thy name; for it is good before
thy saints.
53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There
is no God. Corrupt are
they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth
good.
53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the
children of men, to see if
there were any that did understand, that did
seek God.
53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they
are altogether become
filthy; there is none that doeth good, no,
not one.
53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? who eat up my people
as they eat bread: they have not called upon
God.
53:5 There were they in great fear, where no
fear was: for God hath
scattered the bones of him that encampeth
against thee: thou hast put
them to shame, because God hath despised
them.
53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were
come out of Zion! When God
bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and
Israel shall be glad.
54:1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge
me by thy strength.
54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the
words of my mouth.
54:3 For strangers are risen up against me,
and oppressors seek after
my soul: they have not set God before them.
Selah.
54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is
with them that uphold my
soul.
54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:
cut them off in thy
truth.
54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I
will praise thy name, O
LORD; for it is good.
54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all
trouble: and mine eye hath
seen his desire upon mine enemies.
55:1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide
not thyself from my
supplication.
55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in
my complaint, and make a
noise;
55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of
the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me,
and in wrath they hate me.
55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and
the terrors of death are
fallen upon me.
55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon
me, and horror hath
overwhelmed me.
55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a
dove! for then would I fly
away, and be at rest.
55:7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and
remain in the wilderness.
Selah.
55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy
storm and tempest.
55:9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their
tongues: for I have seen
violence and strife in the city.
55:10 Day and night they go about it upon
the walls thereof: mischief
also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
55:11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
deceit and guile depart not
from her streets.
55:12 For it was not an enemy that
reproached me; then I could have
borne it: neither was it he that hated me
that did magnify himself
against me; then I would have hid myself
from him:
55:13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my
guide, and mine
acquaintance.
55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and
walked unto the house of God
in company.
55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let
them go down quick into hell:
for wickedness is in their dwellings, and
among them.
55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and
the LORD shall save me.
55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace
from the battle that was
against me: for there were many with me.
55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even
he that abideth of old.
Selah. Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not God.
55:20 He hath put forth his hands against
such as be at peace with
him: he hath broken his covenant.
55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother
than butter, but war was in
his heart: his words were softer than oil,
yet were they drawn swords.
55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he
shall sustain thee: he
shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved.
55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down
into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall
not live out half their
days; but I will trust in thee.
56:1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man
would swallow me up; he
fighting daily oppresseth me.
56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up:
for they be many that
fight against me, O thou most High.
56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in
thee.
56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I
have put my trust; I will
not fear what flesh can do unto me.
56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all
their thoughts are against me
for evil.
56:6 They gather themselves together, they
hide themselves, they mark
my steps, when they wait for my soul.
56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine
anger cast down the
people, O God.
56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my
tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
56:9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine
enemies turn back: this I
know; for God is for me.
56:10 In God will I praise his word: in the
LORD will I praise his
word.
56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not
be afraid what man can do
unto me.
56:12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will
render praises unto thee.
56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from
death: wilt not thou
deliver my feet from falling, that I may
walk before God in the light
of the living?
57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful
unto me: for my soul
trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy
wings will I make my
refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God
that performeth all
things for me.
57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me
from the reproach of him
that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall
send forth his mercy and
his truth.
57:4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even
among them that are set on
fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are
spears and arrows, and
their tongue a sharp sword.
57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the
heavens; let thy glory be above
all the earth.
57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps;
my soul is bowed down:
they have digged a pit before me, into the
midst whereof they are
fallen themselves. Selah.
57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is
fixed: I will sing and give
praise.
57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and
harp: I myself will awake
early.
57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the
people: I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
57:10 For thy mercy is great unto the
heavens, and thy truth unto the
clouds.
57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the
heavens: let thy glory be
above all the earth.
58:1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O
congregation? do ye judge
uprightly, O ye sons of men?
58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye
weigh the violence of your
hands in the earth.
58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:
they go astray as soon as
they be born, speaking lies.
58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a
serpent: they are like the
deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of
charmers, charming never
so wisely.
58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their
mouth: break out the great
teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
58:7 Let them melt away as waters which run
continually: when he
bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let
them be as cut in pieces.
58:8 As a snail which melteth, let every one
of them pass away: like
the untimely birth of a woman, that they may
not see the sun.
58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he shall take them away as
with a whirlwind, both living, and in his
wrath.
58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he
seeth the vengeance: he
shall wash his feet in the blood of the
wicked.
58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily there
is a reward for the
righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth
in the earth.
59:1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God:
defend me from them that
rise up against me.
59:2 Deliver me from the workers of
iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul:
the mighty are gathered
against me; not for my transgression, nor
for my sin, O LORD.
59:4 They run and prepare themselves without
my fault: awake to help
me, and behold.
59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts,
the God of Israel, awake to
visit all the heathen: be not merciful to
any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
59:6 They return at evening: they make a
noise like a dog, and go
round about the city.
59:7 Behold, they belch out with their
mouth: swords are in their
lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them;
thou shalt have all the
heathen in derision.
59:9 Because of his strength will I wait
upon thee: for God is my
defence.
59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me:
God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies.
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:
scatter them by thy power;
and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the
words of their lips let them
even be taken in their pride: and for
cursing and lying which they
speak.
59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them,
that they may not be: and
let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto
the ends of the earth.
Selah.
59:14 And at evening let them return; and
let them make a noise like a
dog, and go round about the city.
59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat,
and grudge if they be not
satisfied.
59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I
will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my
defence and refuge in the
day of my trouble.
59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing:
for God is my defence,
and the God of my mercy. |
