And declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore: But he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord. This gate of the Lord: . Into which the righteous shall enter. The stone which the builders refused: It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made: Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: PSALM 119.-Part I. Blessed are the undefiled in the way: Blessed are they that keep his testimonies: They walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us: To keep thy precepts diligently. Then shall I not be ashamed: When I have respect unto all thy command ments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart: When I shall have learned thy righteous judg ments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. Part II. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way: By taking heed thereto according to thy Word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy Word have I hid in mine heart: That I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: Teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared: All the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies: I will meditate in thy precepts: Part III. Deal bountifully with thy servant: That I may live, and keep thy Word. Open thou mine eyes: That I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing: That it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed: Which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt: For I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me: But thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight: And my counsellors. PSALM 121. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: Which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: The Lord is thy shade unto thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day: Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in: From this time forth, and even for evermore. PSALM 126. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion: We were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter: Then said they among the heathen: The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us: Whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O Lord: As the streams in the south. They that sow in tears: Shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed: Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Out of the depths: PSALM 130. Have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities: O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee: That thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait: And in his Word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy: And with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel: From all his iniquities. |
