The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'

A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;

To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,

With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.

For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.

How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.

Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;

To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

The LORD reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; the LORD is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved.

Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.

Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.

Thy testimonies are very sure, holiness becometh Thy house, O LORD, for evermore.

O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.

LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.

They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'

Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?

He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;

That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.

For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.

If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.

When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.

But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.

And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.

O come, let us sing unto the LORD; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us shout for joy unto Him with psalms.

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods;

In whose hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.

The sea is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us bow down and bend the knee; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand. To-day, if ye would but hearken to His voice!

'Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

When your fathers tried Me, proved Me, even though they saw My work.

For forty years was I wearied with that generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known My ways;

Wherefore I swore in My wrath, that they should not enter into My rest.'

O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

Before the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.

The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.

His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.

Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O LORD.

For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.

O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.

A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.

The LORD hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He revealed in the sight of the nations.

He hath remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout unto the LORD, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

Sing praises unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp and the voice of melody.

With trumpets and sound of the horn shout ye before the King, the LORD.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

Let the floods clap their hands; let the mountains sing for joy together;

Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
