The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
70:1 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE
HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.
70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that
seek after my soul: let
them be turned backward, and put to
confusion, that desire my hurt.
70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of
their shame that say,
Aha, aha.
70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice
and be glad in thee: and let
such as love thy salvation say continually,
Let God be magnified.
70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste
unto me, O God: thou art my
help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no
tarrying.
71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let
me never be put to
confusion.
71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and
cause me to escape: incline
thine ear unto me, and save me.
71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto
I may continually resort:
thou hast given commandment to save me; for
thou art my rock and my
fortress.
71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand
of the wicked, out of the
hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou
art my trust from my
youth.
71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the
womb: thou art he that
took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise
shall be continually of
thee.
71:7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou
art my strong refuge.
71:8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise
and with thy honour all
the day.
71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my
strength faileth.
71:10 For mine enemies speak against me; and
they that lay wait for my
soul take counsel together,
71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:
persecute and take him; for there
is none to deliver him.
71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God,
make haste for my help.
71:13 Let them be confounded and consumed
that are adversaries to my
soul; let them be covered with reproach and
dishonour that seek my
hurt.
71:14 But I will hope continually, and will
yet praise thee more and
more.
71:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy
righteousness and thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the numbers
thereof.
71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord
GOD: I will make mention
of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my
youth: and hitherto have I
declared thy wondrous works.
71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded,
O God, forsake me not;
until I have shewed thy strength unto this
generation, and thy power
to every one that is to come.
71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very
high, who hast done great
things: O God, who is like unto thee!
71:20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and
sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up
again from the depths of the
earth.
71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and
comfort me on every side.
71:22 I will also praise thee with the
psaltery, even thy truth, O my
God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O
thou Holy One of Israel.
71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I
sing unto thee; and my
soul, which thou hast redeemed.
71:24 My tongue also shall talk of thy
righteousness all the day long:
for they are confounded, for they are
brought unto shame, that seek my
hurt.
72:1 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and
thy righteousness unto
the king's son.
72:2 He shall judge thy people with
righteousness, and thy poor with
judgment.
72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the
people, and the little
hills, by righteousness.
72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people,
he shall save the children
of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor.
72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun
and moon endure,
throughout all generations.
72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the
mown grass: as showers that
water the earth.
72:7 In his days shall the righteous
flourish; and abundance of peace
so long as the moon endureth.
72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to
sea, and from the river
unto the ends of the earth.
72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall
bow before him; and his
enemies shall lick the dust.
72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles
shall bring presents: the
kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before
him: all nations shall
serve him.
72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he
crieth; the poor also,
and him that hath no helper.
72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and
shall save the souls of
the needy.
72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit
and violence: and
precious shall their blood be in his sight.
72:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be
given of the gold of
Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him
continually; and daily shall
he be praised.
72:16 There shall be an handful of corn in
the earth upon the top of
the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake
like Lebanon: and they of
the city shall flourish like grass of the
earth.
72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his
name shall be continued as
long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in
him: all nations shall
call him blessed.
72:18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of
Israel, who only doeth
wondrous things.
72:19 And blessed be his glorious name for
ever: and let the whole
earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and
Amen.
72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse
are ended.
73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to
such as are of a clean
heart.
73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost
gone; my steps had well nigh
slipped.
73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when
I saw the prosperity of
the wicked.
73:4 For there are no bands in their death:
but their strength is
firm.
73:5 They are not in trouble as other men;
neither are they plagued
like other men.
73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about
as a chain; violence
covereth them as a garment.
73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they
have more than heart
could wish.
73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression: they
speak loftily.
73:9 They set their mouth against the
heavens, and their tongue
walketh through the earth.
73:10 Therefore his people return hither:
and waters of a full cup are
wrung out to them.
73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and
is there knowledge in the
most High?
73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who
prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in
innocency.
73:14 For all the day long have I been
plagued, and chastened every
morning.
73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I
should offend against the
generation of thy children.
73:16 When I thought to know this, it was
too painful for me;
73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of
God; then understood I their
end.
73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery
places: thou castedst
them down into destruction.
73:19 How are they brought into desolation,
as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
73:20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O
Lord, when thou awakest, thou
shalt despise their image.
73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was
pricked in my reins.
73:22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was
as a beast before thee.
73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with
thee: thou hast holden me by
my right hand.
73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,
and afterward receive me
to glory.
73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and
there is none upon earth
that I desire beside thee.
73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God
is the strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.
73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee
shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from
thee.
73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to
God: I have put my trust
in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy
works.
74:1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for
ever? why doth thine anger
smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
74:2 Remember thy congregation, which thou
hast purchased of old; the
rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast
redeemed; this mount Zion,
wherein thou hast dwelt.
74:3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
desolations; even all that
the enemy hath done wickedly in the
sanctuary.
74:4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy
congregations; they set up
their ensigns for signs.
74:5 A man was famous according as he had
lifted up axes upon the
thick trees.
74:6 But now they break down the carved work
thereof at once with axes
and hammers.
74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,
they have defiled by
casting down the dwelling place of thy name
to the ground.
74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us
destroy them together: they
have burned up all the synagogues of God in
the land.
74:9 We see not our signs: there is no more
any prophet: neither is
there among us any that knoweth how long.
74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary
reproach? shall the enemy
blaspheme thy name for ever?
74:11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even
thy right hand? pluck it out
of thy bosom.
74:12 For God is my King of old, working
salvation in the midst of the
earth.
74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy
strength: thou brakest the
heads of the dragons in the waters.
74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in
pieces, and gavest him to
be meat to the people inhabiting the
wilderness.
74:15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the
flood: thou driedst up
mighty rivers.
74:16 The day is thine, the night also is
thine: thou hast prepared
the light and the sun.
74:17 Thou hast set all the borders of the
earth: thou hast made
summer and winter.
74:18 Remember this, that the enemy hath
reproached, O LORD, and that
the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
74:19 O deliver not the soul of thy
turtledove unto the multitude of
the wicked: forget not the congregation of
thy poor for ever.
74:20 Have respect unto the covenant: for
the dark places of the earth
are full of the habitations of cruelty.
74:21 O let not the oppressed return
ashamed: let the poor and needy
praise thy name.
74:22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause:
remember how the foolish
man reproacheth thee daily.
74:23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies:
the tumult of those that
rise up against thee increaseth continually.
75:1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks:
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works
declare.
75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I
will judge uprightly.
75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants
thereof are dissolved: I bear
up the pillars of it. Selah.
75:4 I said unto the fools, Deal not
foolishly: and to the wicked,
Lift not up the horn:
75:5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak
not with a stiff neck.
75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the
east, nor from the west,
nor from the south.
75:7 But God is the judge: he putteth down
one, and setteth up
another.
75:8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a
cup, and the wine is red;
it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of
the same: but the dregs
thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall
wring them out, and drink
them.
75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will
sing praises to the God of
Jacob.
75:10 All the horns of the wicked also will
I cut off; but the horns
of the righteous shall be exalted.
76:1 In Judah is God known: his name is
great in Israel.
76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and
his dwelling place in Zion.
76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword,
and the battle. Selah.
76:4 Thou art more glorious and excellent
than the mountains of prey.
76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have
slept their sleep: and
none of the men of might have found their
hands.
76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the
chariot and horse are
cast into a dead sleep.
76:7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and
who may stand in thy sight
when once thou art angry?
76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard
from heaven; the earth
feared, and was still,
76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all
the meek of the earth.
Selah.
76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise
thee: the remainder of
wrath shalt thou restrain.
76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God:
let all that be round about
him bring presents unto him that ought to be
feared.
76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of
princes: he is terrible to the
kings of the earth.
77:1 I cried unto God with my voice, even
unto God with my voice; and
he gave ear unto me.
77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the
Lord: my sore ran in the
night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be
comforted.
77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I
complained, and my spirit
was overwhelmed. Selah.
77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so
troubled that I cannot
speak.
77:5 I have considered the days of old, the
years of ancient times.
77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the
night: I commune with mine
own heart: and my spirit made diligent
search.
77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and
will he be favourable no
more?
77:8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth
his promise fail for
evermore?
77:9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath
he in anger shut up his
tender mercies? Selah.
77:10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but
I will remember the years
of the right hand of the most High.
77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD:
surely I will remember
thy wonders of old.
77:12 I will meditate also of all thy work,
and talk of thy doings.
77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
who is so great a God as
our God?
77:14 Thou art the God that doest wonders:
thou hast declared thy
strength among the people.
77:15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy
people, the sons of Jacob
and Joseph. Selah.
77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters
saw thee; they were
afraid: the depths also were troubled.
77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies
sent out a sound: thine
arrows also went abroad.
77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the
heaven: the lightnings
lightened the world: the earth trembled and
shook.
77:19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in
the great waters, and thy
footsteps are not known.
77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and
Aaron.
78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law:
incline your ears to the words
of my mouth.
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I
will utter dark sayings of
old:
78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our
fathers have told us.
78:4 We will not hide them from their
children, shewing to the
generation to come the praises of the LORD,
and his strength, and his
wonderful works that he hath done.
78:5 For he established a testimony in
Jacob, and appointed a law in
Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that
they should make them
known to their children:
78:6 That the generation to come might know
them, even the children
which should be born; who should arise and
declare them to their
children:
78:7 That they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works
of God, but keep his commandments:
78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a
stubborn and rebellious
generation; a generation that set not their
heart aright, and whose
spirit was not stedfast with God.
78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed,
and carrying bows, turned
back in the day of battle.
78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and
refused to walk in his
law;
78:11 And forgat his works, and his wonders
that he had shewed them.
78:12 Marvellous things did he in the sight
of their fathers, in the
land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to
pass through; and he made
the waters to stand as an heap.
78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a
cloud, and all the night
with a light of fire.
78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink as out
of the great depths.
78:16 He brought streams also out of the
rock, and caused waters to
run down like rivers.
78:17 And they sinned yet more against him
by provoking the most High
in the wilderness.
78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by
asking meat for their
lust.
78:19 Yea, they spake against God; they
said, Can God furnish a table
in the wilderness?
78:20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the
waters gushed out, and the
streams overflowed; can he give bread also?
can he provide flesh for
his people?
78:21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was
wroth: so a fire was
kindled against Jacob, and anger also came
up against Israel;
78:22 Because they believed not in God, and
trusted not in his
salvation:
78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds
from above, and opened the
doors of heaven,
78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to
eat, and had given them
of the corn of heaven.
78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them
meat to the full.
78:26 He caused an east wind to blow in the
heaven: and by his power
he brought in the south wind.
78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as
dust, and feathered fowls like
as the sand of the sea:
78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of
their camp, round about their
habitations.
78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled:
for he gave them their
own desire;
78:30 They were not estranged from their
lust. But while their meat
was yet in their mouths,
78:31 The wrath of God came upon them, and
slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
78:32 For all this they sinned still, and
believed not for his
wondrous works.
78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in
vanity, and their years
in trouble.
78:34 When he slew them, then they sought
him: and they returned and
enquired early after God.
78:35 And they remembered that God was their
rock, and the high God
their redeemer.
78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with
their mouth, and they
lied unto him with their tongues.
78:37 For their heart was not right with
him, neither were they
stedfast in his covenant.
78:38 But he, being full of compassion,
forgave their iniquity, and
destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned
he his anger away, and did
not stir up all his wrath.
78:39 For he remembered that they were but
flesh; a wind that passeth
away, and cometh not again.
78:40 How oft did they provoke him in the
wilderness, and grieve him
in the desert!
78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God,
and limited the Holy One
of Israel.
78:42 They remembered not his hand, nor the
day when he delivered them
from the enemy.
78:43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt,
and his wonders in the
field of Zoan.
78:44 And had turned their rivers into
blood; and their floods, that
they could not drink.
78:45 He sent divers sorts of flies among
them, which devoured them;
and frogs, which destroyed them.
78:46 He gave also their increase unto the
caterpiller, and their
labour unto the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycomore trees
with frost.
78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the
hail, and their flocks to
hot thunderbolts.
78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of
his anger, wrath, and
indignation, and trouble, by sending evil
angels among them.
78:50 He made a way to his anger; he spared
not their soul from death,
but gave their life over to the pestilence;
78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt;
the chief of their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
78:52 But made his own people to go forth
like sheep, and guided them
in the wilderness like a flock.
78:53 And he led them on safely, so that
they feared not: but the sea
overwhelmed their enemies.
78:54 And he brought them to the border of
his sanctuary, even to this
mountain, which his right hand had
purchased.
78:55 He cast out the heathen also before
them, and divided them an
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of
Israel to dwell in their
tents.
78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most
high God, and kept not
his testimonies:
78:57 But turned back, and dealt
unfaithfully like their fathers: they
were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
78:58 For they provoked him to anger with
their high places, and moved
him to jealousy with their graven images.
78:59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and
greatly abhorred Israel:
78:60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of
Shiloh, the tent which he
placed among men;
78:61 And delivered his strength into
captivity, and his glory into
the enemy's hand.
78:62 He gave his people over also unto the
sword; and was wroth with
his inheritance.
78:63 The fire consumed their young men; and
their maidens were not
given to marriage.
78:64 Their priests fell by the sword; and
their widows made no
lamentation.
78:65 Then the LORD awaked as one out of
sleep, and like a mighty man
that shouteth by reason of wine.
78:66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder
parts: he put them to a
perpetual reproach.
78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of
Joseph, and chose not the
tribe of Ephraim:
78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the
mount Zion which he loved.
78:69 And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces, like the earth
which he hath established for ever.
78:70 He chose David also his servant, and
took him from the
sheepfolds:
78:71 From following the ewes great with
young he brought him to feed
Jacob his people, and Israel his
inheritance.
78:72 So he fed them according to the
integrity of his heart; and
guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
79:1 O God, the heathen are come into thine
inheritance; thy holy
temple have they defiled; they have laid
Jerusalem on heaps.
79:2 The dead bodies of thy servants have
they given to be meat unto
the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy
saints unto the beasts of
the earth.
79:3 Their blood have they shed like water
round about Jerusalem; and
there was none to bury them.
79:4 We are become a reproach to our
neighbours, a scorn and derision
to them that are round about us.
79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for
ever? shall thy jealousy
burn like fire?
79:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen
that have not known thee, and
upon the kingdoms that have not called upon
thy name.
79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid
waste his dwelling place.
79:8 O remember not against us former
iniquities: let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us: for we are
brought very low.
79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for
the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy
name's sake.
79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God? let him be
known among the heathen in our sight by the
revenging of the blood of
thy servants which is shed.
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come
before thee; according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou
those that are appointed to
die;
79:12 And render unto our neighbours
sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached
thee, O Lord.
79:13 So we thy people and sheep of thy
pasture will give thee thanks
for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to
all generations. |
