2
+ <chapter no='1'>
3
+ <verse no='1'>Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.</verse>
4
+ <verse no='2'>But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.</verse>
5
+ <verse no='3'>And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.</verse>
6
+ <verse no='4'>The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.</verse>
7
+ <verse no='5'>Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.</verse>
8
+ <verse no='6'>For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.</verse>
9
+ </chapter>
10
+ <chapter no='2'>
11
+ <verse no='1'>Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?</verse>
12
+ <verse no='2'>The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,</verse>
13
+ <verse no='3'>Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.</verse>
14
+ <verse no='4'>He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.</verse>
15
+ <verse no='5'>Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.</verse>
16
+ <verse no='6'>Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.</verse>
17
+ <verse no='7'>I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.</verse>
18
+ <verse no='8'>Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.</verse>
19
+ <verse no='9'>Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.</verse>
20
+ <verse no='10'>Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.</verse>
21
+ <verse no='11'>Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.</verse>
22
+ <verse no='12'>Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.</verse>

24
+ <chapter no='3'>
25
+ <verse no='1'>Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.</verse>
26
+ <verse no='2'>Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.</verse>
27
+ <verse no='3'>But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.</verse>
28
+ <verse no='4'>I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.</verse>
29
+ <verse no='5'>I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.</verse>
30
+ <verse no='6'>I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.</verse>
31
+ <verse no='7'>Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.</verse>
32
+ <verse no='8'>Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.</verse>
33
+ </chapter>
34
+ <chapter no='4'>
35
+ <verse no='1'>Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.</verse>
36
+ <verse no='2'>O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.</verse>
37
+ <verse no='3'>But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.</verse>
38
+ <verse no='4'>Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.</verse>
39
+ <verse no='5'>Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.</verse>
40
+ <verse no='6'>There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.</verse>
41
+ <verse no='7'>Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.</verse>
42
+ <verse no='8'>I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.</verse>
43
+ </chapter>
44
+ <chapter no='5'>
45
+ <verse no='1'>Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.</verse>
46
+ <verse no='2'>Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.</verse>
47
+ <verse no='3'>My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.</verse>
48
+ <verse no='4'>For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.</verse>
49
+ <verse no='5'>The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.</verse>
50
+ <verse no='6'>Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.</verse>
51
+ <verse no='7'>But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.</verse>
52
+ <verse no='8'>Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.</verse>
53
+ <verse no='9'>For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.</verse>
54
+ <verse no='10'>Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.</verse>
55
+ <verse no='11'>But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.</verse>
56
+ <verse no='12'>For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.</verse>
57
+ </chapter>
58
+ <chapter no='6'>
59
+ <verse no='1'>O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.</verse>
60
+ <verse no='2'>Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.</verse>
61
+ <verse no='3'>My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?</verse>
62
+ <verse no='4'>Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.</verse>
63
+ <verse no='5'>For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?</verse>
64
+ <verse no='6'>I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.</verse>
65
+ <verse no='7'>Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.</verse>
66
+ <verse no='8'>Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.</verse>
67
+ <verse no='9'>The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.</verse>
68
+ <verse no='10'>Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.</verse>
69
+ </chapter>
70
+ <chapter no='7'>
71
+ <verse no='1'>O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:</verse>
72
+ <verse no='2'>Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.</verse>
73
+ <verse no='3'>O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;</verse>
74
+ <verse no='4'>If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)</verse>
75
+ <verse no='5'>Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.</verse>
76
+ <verse no='6'>Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.</verse>
77
+ <verse no='7'>So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.</verse>
78
+ <verse no='8'>The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.</verse>
79
+ <verse no='9'>Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.</verse>
80
+ <verse no='10'>My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.</verse>
81
+ <verse no='11'>God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.</verse>
82
+ <verse no='12'>If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.</verse>
83
+ <verse no='13'>He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.</verse>
84
+ <verse no='14'>Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.</verse>
85
+ <verse no='15'>He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.</verse>
86
+ <verse no='16'>His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.</verse>
87
+ <verse no='17'>I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.</verse>
88

89
+ <chapter no='8'>
90
+ <verse no='1'>O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.</verse>
91
+ <verse no='2'>Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.</verse>
92
+ <verse no='3'>When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;</verse>
93
+ <verse no='4'>What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?</verse>
94
+ <verse no='5'>For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.</verse>
95
+ <verse no='6'>Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:</verse>
96
+ <verse no='7'>All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;</verse>
97
+ <verse no='8'>The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.</verse>
98

99
+ </chapter>
100
+ <chapter no='9'>
101
+ <verse no='1'>I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.</verse>
102
+ <verse no='2'>I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.</verse>
103
+ <verse no='3'>When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.</verse>
104
+ <verse no='4'>For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.</verse>
105
+ <verse no='5'>Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.</verse>
106
+ <verse no='6'>O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.</verse>
107
+ <verse no='7'>But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.</verse>
108
+ <verse no='8'>And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.</verse>
109
+ <verse no='9'>The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.</verse>
110
+ <verse no='10'>And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.</verse>
111
+ <verse no='11'>Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.</verse>
112
+ <verse no='12'>When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.</verse>
113
+ <verse no='13'>Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:</verse>
114
+ <verse no='14'>That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.</verse>
115
+ <verse no='15'>The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.</verse>
116
+ <verse no='16'>The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.</verse>
117
+ <verse no='17'>The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.</verse>
118
+ <verse no='18'>For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.</verse>
119
+ <verse no='19'>Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.</verse>
120
+ <verse no='20'>Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.</verse>
121

122
+ <chapter no='10'>
123
+ <verse no='1'>Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?</verse>
124
+ <verse no='2'>The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.</verse>
125
+ <verse no='3'>For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.</verse>
126
+ <verse no='4'>The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.</verse>
127
+ <verse no='5'>His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.</verse>
128
+ <verse no='6'>He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.</verse>
129
+ <verse no='7'>His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.</verse>
130
+ <verse no='8'>He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.</verse>
131
+ <verse no='9'>He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.</verse>
132
+ <verse no='10'>He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.</verse>
133
+ <verse no='11'>He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.</verse>
134
+ <verse no='12'>Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.</verse>
135
+ <verse no='13'>Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.</verse>
136
+ <verse no='14'>Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.</verse>
137
+ <verse no='15'>Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.</verse>
138
+ <verse no='16'>The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.</verse>
139
+ <verse no='17'>LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:</verse>
140
+ <verse no='18'>To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.</verse>
141

142
+ <chapter no='11'>
143
+ <verse no='1'>In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?</verse>
144
+ <verse no='2'>For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.</verse>
145
+ <verse no='3'>If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?</verse>
146
+ <verse no='4'>The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.</verse>
147
+ <verse no='5'>The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.</verse>
148
+ <verse no='6'>Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.</verse>
149
+ <verse no='7'>For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.</verse>
150

151
+ <chapter no='12'>
152
+ <verse no='1'>Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.</verse>
153
+ <verse no='2'>They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.</verse>
154
+ <verse no='3'>The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:</verse>
155
+ <verse no='4'>Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?</verse>
156
+ <verse no='5'>For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.</verse>
157
+ <verse no='6'>The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.</verse>
158
+ <verse no='7'>Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.</verse>
159

161

162
+ <verse no='1'>How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?</verse>

164
+ <verse no='3'>Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;</verse>
165
+ <verse no='4'>Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.</verse>
166
+ <verse no='5'>But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.</verse>
167

169

170

171
+ <verse no='2'>The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.</verse>
172

173

175

223

224

230

231

236

237

238

241

247

249

250

251

252

253

255
+ <verse no='40'>Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.</verse>
256

257
+ <verse no='42'>Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.</verse>
258

1332
+ <verse no='2'>I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:</verse>
1333
+ <verse no='3'>Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.</verse>
1334
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
1335
+ <verse no='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:</verse>
1336
+ <verse no='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:</verse>
1337
+ <verse no='7'>That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:</verse>
1338
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
1339
+ <verse no='9'>The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.</verse>
1340
+ <verse no='10'>They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;</verse>
1341
+ <verse no='11'>And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.</verse>
1342
+ <verse no='12'>Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.</verse>
1343
+ <verse no='13'>He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.</verse>
1344
+ <verse no='14'>In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.</verse>
1345
+ <verse no='15'>He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.</verse>
1346
+ <verse no='16'>He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.</verse>
1347
+ <verse no='17'>And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.</verse>
1348
+ <verse no='18'>And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.</verse>
1349
+ <verse no='19'>Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?</verse>
1350
+ <verse no='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?</verse>
1351
+ <verse no='21'>Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;</verse>
1352
+ <verse no='22'>Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:</verse>
1353
+ <verse no='23'>Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,</verse>
1354
+ <verse no='24'>And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.</verse>
1355
+ <verse no='25'>Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.</verse>
1356
+ <verse no='26'>He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.</verse>
1357
+ <verse no='27'>He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:</verse>
1358
+ <verse no='28'>And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.</verse>
1359
+ <verse no='29'>So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;</verse>
1360
+ <verse no='30'>They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,</verse>
1361
+ <verse no='31'>The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.</verse>
1362
+ <verse no='32'>For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.</verse>
1363
+ <verse no='33'>Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.</verse>
1364
+ <verse no='34'>When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.</verse>
1365
+ <verse no='35'>And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.</verse>
1366
+ <verse no='36'>Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.</verse>
1367
+ <verse no='37'>For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.</verse>
1368
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
1369
+ <verse no='39'>For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.</verse>
1370
+ <verse no='40'>How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!</verse>
1371
+ <verse no='41'>Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.</verse>
1372
+ <verse no='42'>They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.</verse>
1373
+ <verse no='43'>How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.</verse>
1374
+ <verse no='44'>And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.</verse>
1375
+ <verse no='45'>He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.</verse>
1376
+ <verse no='46'>He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.</verse>
1377
+ <verse no='47'>He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.</verse>
1378
+ <verse no='48'>He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.</verse>
1379
+ <verse no='49'>He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.</verse>
1380
+ <verse no='50'>He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;</verse>
1381
+ <verse no='51'>And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:</verse>
1382
+ <verse no='52'>But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.</verse>
1383
+ <verse no='53'>And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.</verse>
1384
+ <verse no='54'>And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.</verse>
1385
+ <verse no='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.</verse>
1386
+ <verse no='56'>Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:</verse>
1387
+ <verse no='57'>But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.</verse>
1388
+ <verse no='58'>For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.</verse>
1389
+ <verse no='59'>When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:</verse>
1390
+ <verse no='60'>So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;</verse>
1391
+ <verse no='61'>And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.</verse>
1392
+ <verse no='62'>He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.</verse>
1393
+ <verse no='63'>The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.</verse>
1394
+ <verse no='64'>Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.</verse>
1395
+ <verse no='65'>Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.</verse>
1396
+ <verse no='66'>And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.</verse>
1397
+ <verse no='67'>Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:</verse>
1398
+ <verse no='68'>But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.</verse>
1399
+ <verse no='69'>And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.</verse>
1400
+ <verse no='70'>He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:</verse>
1401
+ <verse no='71'>From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.</verse>
1402

1945

1946

1947

1950

1951

1952

1954

1955

1956

1957

1958
+ <verse no='34'>They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:</verse>
1959
+ <verse no='35'>But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.</verse>
1960

1961

1963

1964

1965

1966

1967

1968
+ <verse no='44'>Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:</verse>
1969
+ <verse no='45'>And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.</verse>
1970
+ <verse no='46'>He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.</verse>
1971
