The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.

Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.

[A Psalm] of David. Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, [And] my fingers to fight:

My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.

Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Bow thy heavens, O Jehovah, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them.

Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens;

Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

[When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store, [And] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

[When] our oxen are well laden; [When there is] no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

Happy is the people that is in such a case; [Yea], happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.

[A Psalm of] praise; of David. I will extol thee, my God, O King; And I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee; And I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall laud thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts.

Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness.

They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness.

Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

Jehovah is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works.

All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; And thy saints shall bless thee.

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power;

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion [endureth] throughout all generations.

Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait for thee; And thou givest them their food in due season.

Thou openest thy hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works.

Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him, To all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them.

Jehovah preserveth all them that love him; But all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely.

Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by [their] names.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,

Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

He giveth to the beast his food, [And] to the young ravens which cry.

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.

He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: Praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels: Praise ye him, all his host.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: Praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills; Fruitful trees and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and flying birds;

Kings of the earth and all peoples; Princes and all judges of the earth;

Both young men and virgins; Old men and children:

Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye Jehovah.

Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

[Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp.

Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe.

Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals.
