THE earth is the LORD'S, and all that therein is; * the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein.
2For he hath founded it upon the seas, * and stablished it upon the floods.
3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? * or who shall rise up in his holy place?
4Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; * and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.
5He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, * and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of them that seek him; * even of them that seek thy face, O God of Jacob.
7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.
8Who is this King of glory? * It is the LORD strong and mighty, even the LORD mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.
10Who is this King of glory? * Even the LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
GOD is our hope and strength, * a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
3Though the waters thereof rage and swell, * and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.
4There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God; * the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most Highest.
5God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed; * God shall help her, and that right early.
6The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved; * but God hath showed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
7The LORD of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8O come hither, and behold the works of the LORD, * what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.
9He maketh wars to cease in all the world; * he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.
10Be still then, and know that I am God: * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11The LORD of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
CLAP your hands together, all ye peoples: * O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
2For the LORD is high, and to be feared; * he is the great King upon all the earth.
3He shall subdue the peoples under us, * and the nations under our feet.
4He shall choose out an heritage for us, * even the excellency of Jacob, whom he loved.
5God is gone up with a merry noise, * and the LORD with the sound of the trump.
6O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; * O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7For God is the King of all the earth: * sing ye praises with understanding.
8God reigneth over the nations; * God sitteth upon his holy seat.
9The princes of the peoples are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham; * for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
GIVE the King thy judgments, O God, * and thy righteousness unto the King's son.
2Then shall he judge thy people according unto right, * and defend the poor.
3The mountains also shall bring peace, * and the little hills righteousness unto the people.
4He shall keep the simple folk by their right, * defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong doer.
5They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth, * from one generation to another.
6He shall come down like the rain upon the mown grass, * even as the drops that water the earth.
7In his time shall the righteous flourish; * yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth.
8His dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other, * and from the River3 unto the world's end.
9They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him; * his enemies shall lick the dust.
10The kings of Tarshish4 and of the isles shall give presents; * the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts.
11All kings shall fall down before him; * all nations shall do him service.
12For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth; * the needy also, and him that hath no helper.
13He shall be favourable to the simple and needy, * and shall preserve the souls of the poor.
14He shall deliver their souls from falsehood and wrong; * and dear shall their blood be in his sight.
15He shall live, and unto him shall be given of the gold of Arabia; * prayer shall be made ever unto him, and daily shall he be praised.
16There shall be an heap of corn in the earth, high upon the hills ; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: * and they of the city shall flourish like grass upon the earth.
17His Name shall endure for ever; his Name shall remain under the sun among4 the posterities, which shall be blessed in5 him; * and all the nations6 shall praise him.
18Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel, * which only doeth wondrous things;
19And blessed be the Name of his majesty for ever: * and all the earth shall be filled with his majesty. Amen, Amen.
MY song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the LORD; * with my mouth will I ever be showing thy truth from one generation to another.
2For I have said, Mercy shall be set up for ever; * thy truth shalt thou stablish in the heavens.
3I have made a covenant with my chosen; * I have sworn unto David my servant:
4Thy seed will I stablish for ever, * and set up thy throne from one generation to another.
5O LORD, the very heavens shall praise thy wondrous works; * and thy truth in the congregation of the saints.
6For who is he among the clouds, * that shall be compared unto the LORD?
7And what is he among the gods, * that shall be like unto the LORD?
8God is very greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, * and to be had in reverence of all them that are round about him.
9O Lord God of hosts, who is like unto thee? * thy truth, most mighty LORD, is on every side.
10Thou rulest the raging of the sea; * thou stillest the waves thereof when they arise.
11Thou hast subdued Egypt, and destroyed it; * thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm.
12The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine; * thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is.
13Thou hast made the north and the south; * Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy Name.
14Thou hast a mighty arm; * strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
15Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat; * mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
16Blessed is the people, O LORD, that can rejoice in thee; * they shall walk in the light of thy countenance.
17Their delight shall be daily in thy Name; * and in thy righteousness shall they make their boast.
18For thou art the glory of their strength, * and in thy loving-kindness thou shalt lift up our horns.
19For the LORD is our defence; * the Holy One of Israel is our King.
20Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst, * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
21I have found David my servant; * with my holy oil have I anointed him.
22My hand shall hold him fast, * and my arm shall strengthen him.
23The enemy shall not be able to do him violence; * the son of wickedness shall not hurt him.
24I will smite down his foes before his face, * and plague them that hate him.
25My truth also and my mercy shall be with him; * and in my Name shall his horn be exalted.
26I will set his dominion also in the sea, * and his right hand in the floods.
27He shall call me, Thou art my Father, * my God, and my strong salvation.
28And I will make him my firstborn, * higher than the kings of the earth.
29My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, * and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
30His seed also will I make to endure for ever, * and his throne as the days of heaven.
31But if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments;
32If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; * I will visit their offences with the rod, and their sin with scourges.
33Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, * nor suffer my truth to fail.
34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips: * I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David.
35His seed shall endure for ever, * and his throne is like as the sun before me.
36He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon, * and as the faithful witness in heaven.
37But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine anointed, * and art displeased at him.
38Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, * and cast his crown to the ground.
39Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, * and broken down his strongholds.
40All they that go by spoil him, * and he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
41Thou hast set up the right hand of his enemies, * and made all his adversaries to rejoice.
42Thou hast taken away the edge of his sword, * and givest him not victory in the battle.
43Thou hast put out his glory, * and cast his throne down to the ground.
44The days of his youth hast thou shortened, * and covered him with dishonour.
45LORD, how long wilt thou hide thyself? for ever? * and shall thy wrath burn like fire?
46O remember how short my time is; * wherefore hast thou made all men for nought?
47What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? * and shall he deliver his soul from the power of the grave?
48Lord, where are thy old loving-kindnesses, * which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
49Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy servants have, * and how I do bear in my bosom the rebukes of many people;
50Wherewith thine enemies have blasphemed thee, * and slandered the footsteps of thine anointed.
51Praised be the LORD for evermore. * Amen, and Amen.
THE LORD is King, and hath put on glorious apparel; * the LORD hath put on his apparel, and girded himself with strength.
2He hath made the round world so sure, * that it cannot be moved.
3Ever since the world began, hath thy seat been prepared: * thou art from everlasting.
4The floods are risen, O LORD, the floods have lift up their voice; * the floods lift up their waves.
5The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly; * but yet the LORD, who dwelleth on high, is mightier.
6Thy testimonies, O LORD, are very sure: * holiness becometh thine house for ever.
O sing unto the LORD a new song; * sing unto the LORD, all the whole earth.
2Sing unto the LORD, and praise his Name; * be telling of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his honour unto the heathen, * and his wonders unto all peoples.
4For the LORD is great, and cannot worthily be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods.
5As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols; * but it is the LORD that made the heavens.
6Glory and worship are before him; * power and honour are in his sanctuary.
7Ascribe unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the peoples, * ascribe unto the LORD worship and power.
8Ascribe unto the LORD the honour due unto his Name; * bring presents, and come into his courts.
9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
10Tell it out among the heathen, that the LORD is King, and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; * and how that he shall judge the peoples righteously.
11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; * let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is.
12Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; * then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD.
13For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
THE LORD is King, the earth may be glad thereof; * yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: * righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his seat.
3There shall go a fire before him, * and burn up his enemies on every side.
4His lightnings gave shine unto the world: * the earth saw it, and was afraid.
5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD; * at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens have declared his righteousness, * and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight in vain gods: * worship him, all ye gods.
8Sion heard of it, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, * because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9For thou, LORD, art higher than all that are in the earth: * thou art exalted far above all gods.
10O ye that love the LORD, see that ye hate the thing which is evil: * the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.
11There is sprung up a light for the righteous, * and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted.
12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; * and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
O sing unto the LORD a new song; * for he hath done marvellous things.
2With his own right hand, and with his holy arm, * hath he gotten himself the victory.
3The LORD declared his salvation; * his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.
4He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel; * and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
5Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands; * sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
6Praise the LORD upon the harp; * sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.
7With trumpets also and shawms, * O show yourselves joyful before the LORD, the King.
8Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is; * the round world, and they that dwell therein.
9Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the LORD; * for he is come to judge the earth.
10With righteousness shall he judge the world, * and the peoples with equity.
THE LORD is King, be the people never so impatient; * he sitteth between the Cherubim, be the earth never so unquiet.
2The LORD is great in Sion, * and high above all people.
3They shall give thanks unto thy Name, * which is great, wonderful, and holy.
4The King’s power loveth judgment; thou hast prepared equity, * thou hast executed judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5O magnify the LORD our God, and fall down before his footstool; * for he is holy.
6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among such as call upon his Name: * these called upon the LORD, and he heard them.
7He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar; * for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.
8Thou heardest them, O LORD our God; * thou forgavest them, O God, though thou didst punish their wicked doings.
9O magnify the LORD our God, and worship him upon his holy hill; * for the LORD our God is holy.
BLESSED is the man that feareth the LORD; * he hath great delight in his commandments.
2His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.
3Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; * and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; * he is merciful, loving, and righteous.
5A good man is merciful, and lendeth; * and will guide his words with discretion.
6For he shall never be moved: * and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
7He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; * for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD.
8His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, * until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor; * and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; * he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
I will magnify thee, O God, my King; * and I will praise thy Name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I give thanks unto thee; * and praise thy Name for ever and ever.
3Great is the LORD, and marvellous worthy to be praised; * there is no end of his greatness.
4One generation shall praise thy works unto another, * and declare thy power.
5As for me, I will be talking of thy worship, * thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works;
6So that men shall speak of the might of thy marvellous acts; * and I will also tell of thy greatness.
7The memorial of thine abundant kindness shall be showed; * and men shall sing of thy righteousness.
8The LORD is gracious and merciful; * long-suffering, and of great goodness.
9The LORD is loving unto every man; * and his mercy is over all his works.
10All thy works praise thee, O LORD; * and thy saints give thanks unto thee.
11They show the glory of thy kingdom, * and talk of thy power;
12That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom, * might be known unto men.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, * and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
14The LORD upholdeth all such as fall, * and lifteth up all those that are down.
15The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord; * and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16Thou openest thine hand, * and fillest all things living with plenteousness.
17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, * and holy in all his works.
18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him; * yea, all such as call upon him faithfully.
19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; * he also will hear their cry, and will help them.
20The LORD preserveth all them that love him; * but scattereth abroad all the ungodly.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; * and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever.
PRAISE the LORD, O my soul: while I live, will I praise the LORD; * yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.
2O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man; * for there is no help in them.
3For when the breath of man goeth forth, he shall turn again to his earth, * and then all his thoughts perish.
4Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, * and whose hope is in the LORD his God:
5Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is; * who keepeth his promise for ever;
6Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong; * who feedeth the hungry.
7The LORD looseth men out of prison; * the LORD giveth sight to the blind.
8The LORD helpeth them that are fallen; * the LORD careth for the righteous.
9The LORD careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless and widow: * as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.
10The LORD thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore, * and throughout all generations.
