Book 21        Ecclesiastes

21:001:001 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
           Jerusalem.

21:001:002 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities;
           all is vanity.

21:001:003 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under
           the sun?

21:001:004 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh:
           but the earth abideth for ever.

21:001:005 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to
           his place where he arose.

21:001:006 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the
           north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth
           again according to his circuits.

21:001:007 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto
           the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return
           again.

21:001:008 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is
           not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

21:001:009 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that
           which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new
           thing under the sun.

21:001:010 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new?
           it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

21:001:011 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there
           be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that
           shall come after.

21:001:012 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

21:001:013 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom
           concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore
           travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised
           therewith.

21:001:014 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and,
           behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

21:001:015 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which
           is wanting cannot be numbered.

21:001:016 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great
           estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have
           been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great
           experience of wisdom and knowledge.

21:001:017 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and
           folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

21:001:018 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth
           knowledge increaseth sorrow.

21:002:001 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth,
           therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

21:002:002 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

21:002:003 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet
           acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly,
           till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which
           they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

21:002:004 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me
           vineyards:

21:002:005 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of
           all kind of fruits:

21:002:006 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that
           bringeth forth trees:

21:002:007 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my
           house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle
           above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

21:002:008 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure
           of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women
           singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical
           instruments, and that of all sorts.

21:002:009 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before
           me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

21:002:010 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I
           withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in
           all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

21:002:011 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and
           on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was
           vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under
           the sun.

21:002:012 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly:
           for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that
           which hath been already done.

21:002:013 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light
           excelleth darkness.

21:002:014 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in
           darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth
           to them all.

21:002:015 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it
           happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I
           said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

21:002:016 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
           for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall
           all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

21:002:017 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under
           the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of
           spirit.

21:002:018 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun:
           because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

21:002:019 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet
           shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured,
           and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is
           also vanity.

21:002:020 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the
           labour which I took under the sun.

21:002:021 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in
           knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured
           therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity
           and a great evil.

21:002:022 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of
           his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

21:002:023 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his
           heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

21:002:024 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and
           drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his
           labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

21:002:025 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?

21:002:026 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and
           knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to
           gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good
           before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

21:003:001 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
           under the heaven:

21:003:002 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a
           time to pluck up that which is planted;

21:003:003 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and
           a time to build up;

21:003:004 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a
           time to dance;

21:003:005 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
           together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
           embracing;

21:003:006 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time
           to cast away;

21:003:007 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and
           a time to speak;

21:003:008 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time
           of peace.

21:003:009 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

21:003:010 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of
           men to be exercised in it.

21:003:011 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath
           set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
           work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

21:003:012 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to
           rejoice, and to do good in his life.

21:003:013 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the
           good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

21:003:014 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever:
           nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God
           doeth it, that men should fear before him.

21:003:015 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath
           already been; and God requireth that which is past.

21:003:016 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that
           wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that
           iniquity was there.

21:003:017 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the
           wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for
           every work.

21:003:018 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men,
           that God might manifest them, and that they might see that
           they themselves are beasts.

21:003:019 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
           even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the
           other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no
           preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

21:003:020 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to
           dust again.

21:003:021 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the
           spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

21:003:022 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a
           man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion:
           for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

21:004:001 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are
           done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were
           oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their
           oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

21:004:002 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than
           the living which are yet alive.

21:004:003 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who
           hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

21:004:004 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that
           for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity
           and vexation of spirit.

21:004:005 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

21:004:006 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full
           with travail and vexation of spirit.

21:004:007 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

21:004:008 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath
           neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his
           labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither
           saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good?
           This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

21:004:009 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for
           their labour.

21:004:010 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to
           him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to
           help him up.

21:004:011 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can
           one be warm alone?

21:004:012 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a
           threefold cord is not quickly broken.

21:004:013 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish
           king, who will no more be admonished.

21:004:014 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is
           born in his kingdom becometh poor.

21:004:015 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the
           second child that shall stand up in his stead.

21:004:016 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been
           before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in
           him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

21:005:001 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more
           ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they
           consider not that they do evil.

21:005:002 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty
           to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou
           upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

21:005:003 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a
           fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

21:005:004 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he
           hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

21:005:005 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou
           shouldest vow and not pay.

21:005:006 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say
           thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should
           God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine
           hands?

21:005:007 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also
           divers vanities: but fear thou God.

21:005:008 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent
           perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not
           at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest
           regardeth; and there be higher than they.

21:005:009 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself
           is served by the field.

21:005:010 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor
           he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

21:005:011 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and
           what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding
           of them with their eyes?

21:005:012 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little
           or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to
           sleep.

21:005:013 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely,
           riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

21:005:014 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a
           son, and there is nothing in his hand.

21:005:015 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return
           to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which
           he may carry away in his hand.

21:005:016 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came,
           so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for
           the wind?

21:005:017 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much
           sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

21:005:018 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one
           to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour
           that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which
           God giveth him: for it is his portion.

21:005:019 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and
           hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
           and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

21:005:020 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because
           God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

21:006:001 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is
           common among men:

21:006:002 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so
           that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,
           yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger
           eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

21:006:003 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so
           that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled
           with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an
           untimely birth is better than he.

21:006:004 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and
           his name shall be covered with darkness.

21:006:005 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this
           hath more rest than the other.

21:006:006 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he
           seen no good: do not all go to one place?

21:006:007 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite
           is not filled.

21:006:008 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor,
           that knoweth to walk before the living?

21:006:009 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the
           desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

21:006:010 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it
           is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than
           he.

21:006:011 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man
           the better?

21:006:012 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the
           days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who
           can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

21:007:001 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of
           death than the day of one's birth.

21:007:002 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the
           house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the
           living will lay it to his heart.

21:007:003 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the
           countenance the heart is made better.

21:007:004 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the
           heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

21:007:005 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to
           hear the song of fools.

21:007:006 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter
           of the fool: this also is vanity.

21:007:007 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth
           the heart.

21:007:008 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and
           the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

21:007:009 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in
           the bosom of fools.

21:007:010 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were
           better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning
           this.

21:007:011 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit
           to them that see the sun.

21:007:012 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the
           excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them
           that have it.

21:007:013 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight,
           which he hath made crooked?

21:007:014 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
           adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the
           other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

21:007:015 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a
           just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a
           wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

21:007:016 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise:
           why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

21:007:017 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why
           shouldest thou die before thy time?

21:007:018 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also
           from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God
           shall come forth of them all.

21:007:019 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which
           are in the city.

21:007:020 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and
           sinneth not.

21:007:021 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou
           hear thy servant curse thee:

21:007:022 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself
           likewise hast cursed others.

21:007:023 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but
           it was far from me.

21:007:024 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it
           out?

21:007:025 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out
           wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness
           of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

21:007:026 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is
           snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God
           shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

21:007:027 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by
           one, to find out the account:

21:007:028 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a
           thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not
           found.

21:007:029 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;
           but they have sought out many inventions.

21:008:001 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of
           a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the
           boldness of his face shall be changed.

21:008:002 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in
           regard of the oath of God.

21:008:003 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil
           thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

21:008:004 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say
           unto him, What doest thou?

21:008:005 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a
           wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

21:008:006 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore
           the misery of man is great upon him.

21:008:007 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him
           when it shall be?

21:008:008 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the
           spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there
           is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver
           those that are given to it.

21:008:009 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work
           that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man
           ruleth over another to his own hurt.

21:008:010 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the
           place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where
           they had so done: this is also vanity.

21:008:011 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
           speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set
           in them to do evil.

21:008:012 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be
           prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
           that fear God, which fear before him:

21:008:013 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he
           prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth
           not before God.

21:008:014 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be
           just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the
           wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth
           according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also
           is vanity.

21:008:015 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing
           under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for
           that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life,
           which God giveth him under the sun.

21:008:016 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the
           business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that
           neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

21:008:017 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out
           the work that is done under the sun: because though a man
           labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther;
           though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able
           to find it.

21:009:001 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all
           this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are
           in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by
           all that is before them.

21:009:002 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the
           righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean,
           and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that
           sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that
           sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

21:009:003 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun,
           that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the
           sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart
           while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

21:009:004 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for
           a living dog is better than a dead lion.

21:009:005 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not
           any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory
           of them is forgotten.

21:009:006 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now
           perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any
           thing that is done under the sun.

21:009:007 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a
           merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

21:009:008 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no
           ointment.

21:009:009 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of
           the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the
           sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in
           this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

21:009:010 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
           there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
           the grave, whither thou goest.

21:009:011 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the
           swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the
           wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour
           to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

21:009:012 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are
           taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the
           snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it
           falleth suddenly upon them.

21:009:013 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed
           great unto me:

21:009:014 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came
           a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great
           bulwarks against it:

21:009:015 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
           wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same
           poor man.

21:009:016 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the
           poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

21:009:017 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of
           him that ruleth among fools.

21:009:018 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner
           destroyeth much good.

21:010:001 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth
           a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in
           reputation for wisdom and honour.

21:010:002 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at
           his left.

21:010:003 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his
           wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a
           fool.

21:010:004 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy
           place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.

21:010:005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error
           which proceedeth from the ruler:

21:010:006 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

21:010:007 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as
           servants upon the earth.

21:010:008 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh
           an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

21:010:009 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that
           cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.

21:010:010 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must
           he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

21:010:011 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a
           babbler is no better.

21:010:012 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of
           a fool will swallow up himself.

21:010:013 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and
           the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

21:010:014 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be;
           and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

21:010:015 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because
           he knoweth not how to go to the city.

21:010:016 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes
           eat in the morning!

21:010:017 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles,
           and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for
           drunkenness!

21:010:018 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through
           idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

21:010:019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money
           answereth all things.

21:010:020 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the
           rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the
           voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

21:011:001 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after
           many days.

21:011:002 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest
           not what evil shall be upon the earth.

21:011:003 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the
           earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the
           north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

21:011:004 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that
           regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

21:011:005 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the
           bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so
           thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

21:011:006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not
           thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either
           this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

21:011:007 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the
           eyes to behold the sun:

21:011:008 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let
           him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All
           that cometh is vanity.

21:011:009 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer
           thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine
           heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for
           all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

21:011:010 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from
           thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

21:012:001 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the
           evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt
           say, I have no pleasure in them;

21:012:002 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not
           darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

21:012:003 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and
           the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease
           because they are few, and those that look out of the windows
           be darkened,

21:012:004 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of
           the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the
           bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

21:012:005 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and
           fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
           and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail:
           because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about
           the streets:

21:012:006 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be
           broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel
           broken at the cistern.

21:012:007 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the
           spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

21:012:008 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

21:012:009 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught
           the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out,
           and set in order many proverbs.

21:012:010 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that
           which was written was upright, even words of truth.

21:012:011 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by
           the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

21:012:012 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many
           books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the
           flesh.

21:012:013 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and
           keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

21:012:014 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every
           secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.

Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
any commercial products without permission.

To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE

If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
time to the person you received it from. If you received it
on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
receive it electronically.

THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
TO THE EBOOK OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
may have other legal rights.

INDEMNITY
You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,

Book 19        Psalms

19:001:001 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.

19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
           he meditate day and night.

19:001:003 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.

19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
           driveth away.

19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
           sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
           the ungodly shall perish.

19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
           counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
           saying,

19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
           from us.

19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
           have them in derision.

19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
           his sore displeasure.

19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
           art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
           inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
           possession.

19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
           in pieces like a potter's vessel.

19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
           the earth.

19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

19:002:012 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.

19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they
           that rise up against me.

19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
           in God. Selah.

19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the
           lifter up of mine head.

19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
           his holy hill. Selah.

19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
           themselves against me round about.

19:003:007 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.

19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
           people. Selah.

19:004:001 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.

19:004:002 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.

19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
           himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
           your bed, and be still. Selah.

19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
           the LORD.

19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
           thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
           their corn and their wine increased.

19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
           only makest me dwell in safety.

19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
           unto thee will I pray.

19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
           morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
           neither shall evil dwell with thee.

19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
           workers of iniquity.

19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
           abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

19:005:007 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.

19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
           make thy way straight before my face.

19:005:009 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.

19:005:010 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.

19:005:011 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.

19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
           thou compass him as with a shield.

19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in
           thy hot displeasure.

19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me;
           for my bones are vexed.

19:006:003 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
           sake.

19:006:005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
           shall give thee thanks?

19:006:006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
           swim; I water my couch with my tears.

19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
           of all mine enemies.

19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
           heard the voice of my weeping.

19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
           prayer.

19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
           return and be ashamed suddenly.

19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all
           them that persecute me, and deliver me:

19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
           there is none to deliver.

19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
           hands;

19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
           (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

19:007:005 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.

19:007:006 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.

19:007:007 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
           for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

19:007:008 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
           to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is
           in me.

19:007:009 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
           establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts
           and reins.

19:007:010 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

19:007:011 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
           every day.

19:007:012 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
           and made it ready.

19:007:013 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
           ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
           mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

19:007:015 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
           which he made.

19:007:016 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
           dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

19:007:017 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
           will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
           who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

19:008:002 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.

19:008:003 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
           and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

19:008:004 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
           that thou visitest him?

19:008:005 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
           hast crowned him with glory and honour.

19:008:006 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
           thou hast put all things under his feet:

19:008:007 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

19:008:008 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
           passeth through the paths of the seas.

19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

19:009:001 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
           forth all thy marvellous works.

19:009:002 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
           name, O thou most High.

19:009:003 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
           at thy presence.

19:009:004 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
           the throne judging right.

19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
           thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

19:009:006 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
           thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
           them.

19:009:007 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
           throne for judgment.

19:009:008 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
           minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

19:009:009 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
           times of trouble.

19:009:010 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
           thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

19:009:011 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
           among the people his doings.

19:009:012 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
           forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

19:009:013 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:

19:009:014 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
           daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

19:009:015 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the
           net which they hid is their own foot taken.

19:009:016 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the
           wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
           Selah.

19:009:017 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
           forget God.

19:009:018 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
           the poor shall not perish for ever.

19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged
           in thy sight.

19:009:020 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves
           to be but men. Selah.

19:010:001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
           times of trouble?

19:010:002 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
           taken in the devices that they have imagined.

19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
           the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

19:010:004 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
           seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

19:010:005 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out
           of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

19:010:006 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
           never be in adversity.

19:010:007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
           tongue is mischief and vanity.

19:010:008 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.

19:010:009 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.

19:010:010 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
           his strong ones.

19:010:011 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
           face; he will never see it.

19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
           humble.

19:010:013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
           heart, Thou wilt not require it.

19:010:014 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.

19:010:015 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out
           his wickedness till thou find none.

19:010:016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
           out of his land.

19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
           prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

19:010:018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
           earth may no more oppress.

19:011:001 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a
           bird to your mountain?

19:011:002 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.

19:011:003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in
           heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

19:011:005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
           loveth violence his soul hateth.

19:011:006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and
           an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

19:011:007 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
           doth behold the upright.

19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
           from among the children of men.

19:012:002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
           flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

19:012:003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
           that speaketh proud things:

19:012:004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
           our own: who is lord over us?

19:012:005 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.

19:012:006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
           furnace of earth, purified seven times.

19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
           this generation for ever.

19:012:008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
           exalted.

19:013:001 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
           thou hide thy face from me?

19:013:002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
           heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
           sleep the sleep of death;

19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those
           that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

19:013:005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
           salvation.

19:013:006 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
           with me.

19:014:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
           corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
           doeth good.

19:014:002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
           see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

19:014:003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
           there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

19:014:004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
           people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

19:014:005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of
           the righteous.

19:014:006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
           his refuge.

19:014:007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when
           the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
           shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in
           thy holy hill?

19:015:002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
           speaketh the truth in his heart.

19:015:003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
           neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth
           them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
           changeth not.

19:015:005 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
           against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never
           be moved.

19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
           goodness extendeth not to thee;

19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
           in whom is all my delight.

19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
           god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
           up their names into my lips.

19:016:005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
           thou maintainest my lot.

19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
           goodly heritage.

19:016:007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
           also instruct me in the night seasons.

19:016:008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my
           right hand, I shall not be moved.

19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
           also shall rest in hope.

19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
           suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
           of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
           prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
           behold the things that are equal.

19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the
           night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am
           purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
           kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
           thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
           right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that
           rise up against them.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
           thy wings,

19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who
           compass me about.

19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
           speak proudly.

19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their
           eyes bowing down to the earth;

19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a
           young lion lurking in secret places.

19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
           from the wicked, which is thy sword:

19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
           which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou
           fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and
           leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
           satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
           God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
           horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
           shall I be saved from mine enemies.

19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
           men made me afraid.

19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
           prevented me.

19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
           he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
           him, even into his ears.

19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
           hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
           mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was
           under his feet.

19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
           the wings of the wind.

19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
           him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,
           hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
           his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
           out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
           the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
           of the breath of thy nostrils.

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
           hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
           my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
           because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
           to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
           departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
           his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
           iniquity.

19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
           righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
           eyesight.

19:018:025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an
           upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the
           froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

19:018:027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down
           high looks.

19:018:028 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
           my darkness.

19:018:029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I
           leaped over a wall.

19:018:030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried:
           he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

19:018:031 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

19:018:032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way
           perfect.

19:018:033 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my
           high places.

19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken
           by mine arms.

19:018:035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
           right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
           great.

19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not
           slip.

19:018:037 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
           turn again till they were consumed.

19:018:038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
           fallen under my feet.

19:018:039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
           hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

19:018:040 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I
           might destroy them that hate me.

19:018:041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the
           LORD, but he answered them not.

19:018:042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did
           cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and
           thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I
           have not known shall serve me.

19:018:044 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers
           shall submit themselves unto me.

19:018:045 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their
           close places.

19:018:046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my
           salvation be exalted.

19:018:047 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

19:018:048 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
           above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me
           from the violent man.

19:018:049 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
           heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

19:018:050 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
           his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

19:019:001 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
           sheweth his handywork.

19:019:002 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
           knowledge.

19:019:003 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not
           heard.

19:019:004 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words
           to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for
           the sun,

19:019:005 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
           rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

19:019:006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
           unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
           thereof.

19:019:007 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
           testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

19:019:008 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
           commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

19:019:009 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the
           judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

19:019:010 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
           gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

19:019:011 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
           there is great reward.

19:019:012 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
           faults.

19:019:013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them
           not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I
           shall be innocent from the great transgression.

19:019:014 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
           acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

19:020:001 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God
           of Jacob defend thee;

19:020:002 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
           Zion;

19:020:003 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
           Selah.

19:020:004 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
           counsel.

19:020:005 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God
           we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

19:020:006 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
           from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right
           hand.

19:020:007 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
           remember the name of the LORD our God.

19:020:008 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
           upright.

19:020:009 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

19:021:001 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy
           salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

19:021:002 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
           withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

19:021:003 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
           settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

19:021:004 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of
           days for ever and ever.

19:021:005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
           thou laid upon him.

19:021:006 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made
           him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

19:021:007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
           the most High he shall not be moved.

19:021:008 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
           shall find out those that hate thee.

19:021:009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine
           anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the
           fire shall devour them.

19:021:010 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
           from among the children of men.

19:021:011 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
           mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

19:021:012 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou
           shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the
           face of them.

19:021:013 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
           and praise thy power.

19:022:001 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
           from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

19:022:002 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in
           the night season, and am not silent.

19:022:003 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of
           Israel.

19:022:004 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
           deliver them.

19:022:005 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in
           thee, and were not confounded.

19:022:006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised
           of the people.

19:022:007 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the
           lip, they shake the head, saying,

19:022:008 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him
           deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

19:022:009 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make
           me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

19:022:010 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my
           mother's belly.

19:022:011 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to
           help.

19:022:012 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have
           beset me round.

19:022:013 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a
           roaring lion.

19:022:014 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
           my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

19:022:015 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
           cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
           death.

19:022:016 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
           inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

19:022:017 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

19:022:018 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
           vesture.

19:022:019 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee
           to help me.

19:022:020 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of
           the dog.

19:022:021 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
           horns of the unicorns.

19:022:022 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
           congregation will I praise thee.

19:022:023 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
           glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

19:022:024 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
           afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
           cried unto him, he heard.

19:022:025 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will
           pay my vows before them that fear him.

19:022:026 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
           LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

19:022:027 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
           LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
           thee.

19:022:028 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among
           the nations.

19:022:029 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all
           they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none
           can keep alive his own soul.

19:022:030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for
           a generation.

19:022:031 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
           people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

19:023:001 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

19:023:002 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
           beside the still waters.

19:023:003 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
           righteousness for his name's sake.

19:023:004 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
           I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
           staff they comfort me.

19:023:005 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
           enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

19:023:006 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
           life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

19:024:001 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
           and they that dwell therein.

19:024:002 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon
           the floods.

19:024:003 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand
           in his holy place?

19:024:004 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
           lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

19:024:005 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
           from the God of his salvation.

19:024:006 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
           face, O Jacob. Selah.

19:024:007 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
           everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:008 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
           LORD mighty in battle.

19:024:009 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye
           everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:010 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King
           of glory. Selah.

19:025:001 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

19:025:002 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine
           enemies triumph over me.

19:025:003 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
           ashamed which transgress without cause.

19:025:004 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

19:025:005 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my
           salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

19:025:006 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
           for they have been ever of old.

19:025:007 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
           according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness'
           sake, O LORD.

19:025:008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners
           in the way.

19:025:009 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach
           his way.

19:025:010 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as
           keep his covenant and his testimonies.

19:025:011 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is
           great.

19:025:012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in
           the way that he shall choose.

19:025:013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the
           earth.

19:025:014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will
           shew them his covenant.

19:025:015 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet
           out of the net.

19:025:016 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate
           and afflicted.

19:025:017 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of
           my distresses.

19:025:018 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
           sins.

19:025:019 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me
           with cruel hatred.

19:025:020 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I
           put my trust in thee.

19:025:021 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

19:025:022 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

19:026:001 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have
           trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

19:026:002 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

19:026:003 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked
           in thy truth.

19:026:004 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
           dissemblers.

19:026:005 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit
           with the wicked.

19:026:006 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine
           altar, O LORD:

19:026:007 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of
           all thy wondrous works.

19:026:008 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
           where thine honour dwelleth.

19:026:009 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

19:026:010 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of
           bribes.

19:026:011 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and
           be merciful unto me.

19:026:012 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I
           bless the LORD.

19:027:001 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the
           LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

19:027:002 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me
           to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

19:027:003 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
           fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be
           confident.

19:027:004 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
           that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
           life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
           temple.

19:027:005 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
           in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
           me up upon a rock.

19:027:006 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round
           about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
           of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

19:027:007 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
           me, and answer me.

19:027:008 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
           Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

19:027:009 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in
           anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake
           me, O God of my salvation.

19:027:010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will
           take me up.

19:027:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because
           of mine enemies.

19:027:012 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
           witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
           cruelty.

19:027:013 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of
           the LORD in the land of the living.

19:027:014 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
           thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

19:028:001 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me:
           lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down
           into the pit.

19:028:002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when
           I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

19:028:003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
           iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief
           is in their hearts.

19:028:004 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
           wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of
           their hands; render to them their desert.

19:028:005 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
           operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build
           them up.

19:028:006 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
           supplications.

19:028:007 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
           him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
           and with my song will I praise him.

19:028:008 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of
           his anointed.

19:028:009 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
           and lift them up for ever.

19:029:001 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
           strength.

19:029:002 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the
           LORD in the beauty of holiness.

19:029:003 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory
           thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

19:029:004 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is
           full of majesty.

19:029:005 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
           breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

19:029:006 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
           like a young unicorn.

19:029:007 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

19:029:008 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh
           the wilderness of Kadesh.

19:029:009 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and
           discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one
           speak of his glory.

19:029:010 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King
           for ever.

19:029:011 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will
           bless his people with peace.

19:030:001 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and
           hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

19:030:002 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

19:030:003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
           kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

19:030:004 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
           remembrance of his holiness.

19:030:005 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
           weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

19:030:006 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

19:030:007 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
           strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

19:030:008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
           supplication.

19:030:009 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
           Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

19:030:010 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

19:030:011 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
           put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

19:030:012 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
           silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

19:031:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
           deliver me in thy righteousness.

19:031:002 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
           strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

19:031:003 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's
           sake lead me, and guide me.

19:031:004 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
           thou art my strength.

19:031:005 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
           LORD God of truth.

19:031:006 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in
           the LORD.

19:031:007 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
           considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

19:031:008 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
           set my feet in a large room.

19:031:009 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
           consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

19:031:010 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
           strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
           consumed.

19:031:011 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
           my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did
           see me without fled from me.

19:031:012 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
           vessel.

19:031:013 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
           while they took counsel together against me, they devised to
           take away my life.

19:031:014 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

19:031:015 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
           enemies, and from them that persecute me.

19:031:016 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
           mercies' sake.

19:031:017 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
           let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
           grave.

19:031:018 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
           things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19:031:019 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
           that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in
           thee before the sons of men!

19:031:020 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
           pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
           the strife of tongues.

19:031:021 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
           kindness in a strong city.

19:031:022 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
           nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when
           I cried unto thee.

19:031:023 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth
           the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

19:031:024 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
           that hope in the LORD.

19:032:001 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
           covered.

19:032:002 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
           and in whose spirit there is no guile.

19:032:003 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
           the day long.

19:032:004 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
           turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

19:032:005 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
           hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
           and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

19:032:006 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a
           time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
           waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

19:032:007 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
           thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

19:032:008 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
           shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

19:032:009 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
           understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and
           bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

19:032:010 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in
           the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

19:032:011 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
           joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

19:033:001 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for
           the upright.

19:033:002 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and
           an instrument of ten strings.

19:033:003 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

19:033:004 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done
           in truth.

19:033:005 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
           goodness of the LORD.

19:033:006 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the
           host of them by the breath of his mouth.

19:033:007 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
           layeth up the depth in storehouses.

19:033:008 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
           the world stand in awe of him.

19:033:009 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
           fast.

19:033:010 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
           maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

19:033:011 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
           heart to all generations.

19:033:012 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people
           whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

19:033:013 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
           men.

19:033:014 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
           inhabitants of the earth.

19:033:015 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
           works.

19:033:016 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty
           man is not delivered by much strength.

19:033:017 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
           any by his great strength.

19:033:018 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
           them that hope in his mercy;

19:033:019 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
           famine.

19:033:020 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

19:033:021 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
           his holy name.

19:033:022 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in
           thee.

19:034:001 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall
           continually be in my mouth.

19:034:002 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall
           hear thereof, and be glad.

19:034:003 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
           together.

19:034:004 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all
           my fears.

19:034:005 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
           not ashamed.

19:034:006 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out
           of all his troubles.

19:034:007 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear
           him, and delivereth them.

19:034:008 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
           trusteth in him.

19:034:009 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them
           that fear him.

19:034:010 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek
           the LORD shall not want any good thing.

19:034:011 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear
           of the LORD.

19:034:012 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that
           he may see good?

19:034:013 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

19:034:014 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

19:034:015 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are
           open unto their cry.

19:034:016 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
           the remembrance of them from the earth.

19:034:017 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them
           out of all their troubles.

19:034:018 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
           saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19:034:019 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
           delivereth him out of them all.

19:034:020 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

19:034:021 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
           shall be desolate.

19:034:022 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
           that trust in him shall be desolate.

19:035:001 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight
           against them that fight against me.

19:035:002 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

19:035:003 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that
           persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

19:035:004 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my
           soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that
           devise my hurt.

19:035:005 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
           LORD chase them.

19:035:006 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
           LORD persecute them.

19:035:007 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
           which without cause they have digged for my soul.

19:035:008 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net
           that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let
           him fall.

19:035:009 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in
           his salvation.

19:035:010 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which
           deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea,
           the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

19:035:011 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things
           that I knew not.

19:035:012 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

19:035:013 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
           I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into
           mine own bosom.

19:035:014 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I
           bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

19:035:015 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves
           together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together
           against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased
           not:

19:035:016 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with
           their teeth.

19:035:017 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
           destructions, my darling from the lions.

19:035:018 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will
           praise thee among much people.

19:035:019 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
           neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a
           cause.

19:035:020 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
           against them that are quiet in the land.

19:035:021 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha,
           aha, our eye hath seen it.

19:035:022 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not
           far from me.

19:035:023 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,
           my God and my Lord.

19:035:024 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and
           let them not rejoice over me.

19:035:025 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let
           them not say, We have swallowed him up.

19:035:026 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
           rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and
           dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

19:035:027 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous
           cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
           magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
           servant.

19:035:028 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy
           praise all the day long.

19:036:001 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that
           there is no fear of God before his eyes.

19:036:002 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity
           be found to be hateful.

19:036:003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left
           off to be wise, and to do good.

19:036:004 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
           that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

19:036:005 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
           reacheth unto the clouds.

19:036:006 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments
           are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

19:036:007 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
           children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

19:036:008 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
           house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
           pleasures.

19:036:009 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
           see light.

19:036:010 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
           thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

19:036:011 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
           hand of the wicked remove me.

19:036:012 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
           and shall not be able to rise.

19:037:001 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
           against the workers of iniquity.

19:037:002 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
           the green herb.

19:037:003 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
           land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

19:037:004 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the
           desires of thine heart.

19:037:005 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall
           bring it to pass.

19:037:006 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
           thy judgment as the noonday.

19:037:007 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
           because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
           who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

19:037:008 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any
           wise to do evil.

19:037:009 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
           LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

19:037:010 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
           shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

19:037:011 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
           themselves in the abundance of peace.

19:037:012 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
           with his teeth.

19:037:013 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
           coming.

19:037:014 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
           to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of
           upright conversation.

19:037:015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows
           shall be broken.

19:037:016 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches
           of many wicked.

19:037:017 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
           upholdeth the righteous.

19:037:018 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
           inheritance shall be for ever.

19:037:019 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of
           famine they shall be satisfied.

19:037:020 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall
           be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall
           they consume away.

19:037:021 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
           sheweth mercy, and giveth.

19:037:022 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and
           they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

19:037:023 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he
           delighteth in his way.

19:037:024 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
           LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

19:037:025 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the
           righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

19:037:026 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

19:037:027 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

19:037:028 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
           they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall
           be cut off.

19:037:029 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
           ever.

19:037:030 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
           talketh of judgment.

19:037:031 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall
           slide.

19:037:032 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

19:037:033 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when
           he is judged.

19:037:034 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
           inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see
           it.

19:037:035 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself
           like a green bay tree.

19:037:036 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him,
           but he could not be found.

19:037:037 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of
           that man is peace.

19:037:038 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of
           the wicked shall be cut off.

19:037:039 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their
           strength in the time of trouble.

19:037:040 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall
           deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they
           trust in him.

19:038:001 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy
           hot displeasure.

19:038:002 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me
           sore.

19:038:003 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
           neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

19:038:004 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy
           burden they are too heavy for me.

19:038:005 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

19:038:006 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the
           day long.

19:038:007 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is
           no soundness in my flesh.

19:038:008 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the
           disquietness of my heart.

19:038:009 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid
           from thee.

19:038:010 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of
           mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

19:038:011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
           kinsmen stand afar off.

19:038:012 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they
           that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine
           deceits all the day long.

19:038:013 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that
           openeth not his mouth.

19:038:014 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are
           no reproofs.

19:038:015 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

19:038:016 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over
           me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

19:038:017 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before
           me.

19:038:018 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19:038:019 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they
           that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

19:038:020 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;
           because I follow the thing that good is.

19:038:021 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

19:038:022 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

19:039:001 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my
           tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
           is before me.

19:039:002 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and
           my sorrow was stirred.

19:039:003 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire
           burned: then spake I with my tongue,

19:039:004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days,
           what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

19:039:005 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age
           is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
           is altogether vanity. Selah.

19:039:006 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are
           disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who
           shall gather them.

19:039:007 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

19:039:008 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the
           reproach of the foolish.

19:039:009 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

19:039:010 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of
           thine hand.

19:039:011 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
           makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every
           man is vanity. Selah.

19:039:012 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
           peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a
           sojourner, as all my fathers were.

19:039:013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence,
           and be no more.

19:040:001 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
           heard my cry.

19:040:002 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
           clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

19:040:003 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
           God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

19:040:004 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
           respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

19:040:005 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
           done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be
           reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak
           of them, they are more than can be numbered.

19:040:006 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
           thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not
           required.

19:040:007 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is
           written of me,

19:040:008 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my
           heart.

19:040:009 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I
           have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

19:040:010 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
           declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not
           concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great
           congregation.

19:040:011 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy
           lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

19:040:012 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities
           have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;
           they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
           faileth me.

19:040:013 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help
           me.

19:040:014 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my
           soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to
           shame that wish me evil.

19:040:015 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto
           me, Aha, aha.

19:040:016 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let
           such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be
           magnified.

19:040:017 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou
           art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

19:041:001 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
           him in time of trouble.

19:041:002 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall
           be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto
           the will of his enemies.

19:041:003 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou
           wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

19:041:004 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
           sinned against thee.

19:041:005 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name
           perish?

19:041:006 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart
           gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth
           it.

19:041:007 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
           they devise my hurt.

19:041:008 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now
           that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

19:041:009 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did
           eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

19:041:010 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I
           may requite them.

19:041:011 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth
           not triumph over me.

19:041:012 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
           settest me before thy face for ever.

19:041:013 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to
           everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

19:042:001 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul
           after thee, O God.

19:042:002 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I
           come and appear before God?

19:042:003 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they
           continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

19:042:004 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I
           had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of
           God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that
           kept holyday.

19:042:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
           in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the
           help of his countenance.

19:042:006 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
           remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
           from the hill Mizar.

19:042:007 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all
           thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

19:042:008 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time,
           and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto
           the God of my life.

19:042:009 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why
           go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

19:042:010 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while
           they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

19:042:011 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
           within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who
           is the health of my countenance, and my God.

19:043:001 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:
           O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

19:043:002 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me
           off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

19:043:003 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
           bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

19:043:004 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding
           joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

19:043:005 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted
           within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
           health of my countenance, and my God.

19:044:001 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
           what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

19:044:002 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and
           plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast
           them out.

19:044:003 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
           neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and
           thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou
           hadst a favour unto them.

19:044:004 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

19:044:005 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name
           will we tread them under that rise up against us.

19:044:006 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save
           me.

19:044:007 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to
           shame that hated us.

19:044:008 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for
           ever. Selah.

19:044:009 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not
           forth with our armies.

19:044:010 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which
           hate us spoil for themselves.

19:044:011 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast
           scattered us among the heathen.

19:044:012 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy
           wealth by their price.

19:044:013 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a
           derision to them that are round about us.

19:044:014 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the
           head among the people.

19:044:015 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my
           face hath covered me,

19:044:016 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
           reason of the enemy and avenger.

19:044:017 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
           neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

19:044:018 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined
           from thy way;

19:044:019 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and
           covered us with the shadow of death.

19:044:020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our
           hands to a strange god;

19:044:021 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of
           the heart.

19:044:022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
           counted as sheep for the slaughter.

19:044:023 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for
           ever.

19:044:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction
           and our oppression?

19:044:025 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
           unto the earth.

19:044:026 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

19:045:001 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things
           which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a
           ready writer.

19:045:002 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into
           thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

19:045:003 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory
           and thy majesty.

19:045:004 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
           meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
           thee terrible things.

19:045:005 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
           whereby the people fall under thee.

19:045:006 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
           kingdom is a right sceptre.

19:045:007 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
           God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
           above thy fellows.

19:045:008 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of
           the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

19:045:009 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy
           right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

19:045:010 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
           forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

19:045:011 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy
           Lord; and worship thou him.

19:045:012 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the
           rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

19:045:013 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of
           wrought gold.

19:045:014 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:
           the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought
           unto thee.

19:045:015 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall
           enter into the king's palace.

19:045:016 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest
           make princes in all the earth.

19:045:017 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
           therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

19:046:001 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
           trouble.

19:046:002 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and
           though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

19:046:003 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the
           mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

19:046:004 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city
           of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

19:046:005 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall
           help her, and that right early.

19:046:006 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his
           voice, the earth melted.

19:046:007 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
           Selah.

19:046:008 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath
           made in the earth.

19:046:009 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh
           the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the
           chariot in the fire.

19:046:010 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the
           heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

19:046:011 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
           Selah.

19:047:001 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the
           voice of triumph.

19:047:002 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over
           all the earth.

19:047:003 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our
           feet.

19:047:004 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of
           Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

19:047:005 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a
           trumpet.

19:047:006 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King,
           sing praises.

19:047:007 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with
           understanding.

19:047:008 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of
           his holiness.

19:047:009 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the
           people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth
           belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

19:048:001 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of
           our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

19:048:002 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount
           Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

19:048:003 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

19:048:004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

19:048:005 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and
           hasted away.

19:048:006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in
           travail.

19:048:007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

19:048:008 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of
           hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.
           Selah.

19:048:009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
           thy temple.

19:048:010 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends
           of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

19:048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad,
           because of thy judgments.

19:048:012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers
           thereof.

19:048:013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may
           tell it to the generation following.

19:048:014 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our
           guide even unto death.

19:049:001 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the
           world:

19:049:002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

19:049:003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
           shall be of understanding.

19:049:004 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark
           saying upon the harp.

19:049:005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity
           of my heels shall compass me about?

19:049:006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the
           multitude of their riches;

19:049:007 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to
           God a ransom for him:

19:049:008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth
           for ever:)

19:049:009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

19:049:010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the
           brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

19:049:011 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for
           ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call
           their lands after their own names.

19:049:012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the
           beasts that perish.

19:049:013 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve
           their sayings. Selah.

19:049:014 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
           them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
           morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from
           their dwelling.

19:049:015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for
           he shall receive me. Selah.

19:049:016 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of
           his house is increased;

19:049:017 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall
           not descend after him.

19:049:018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise
           thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

19:049:019 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never
           see light.

19:049:020 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the
           beasts that perish.

19:050:001 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the
           earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

19:050:002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

19:050:003 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall
           devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round
           about him.

19:050:004 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth,
           that he may judge his people.

19:050:005 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a
           covenant with me by sacrifice.

19:050:006 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is
           judge himself. Selah.

19:050:007 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will
           testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

19:050:008 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
           offerings, to have been continually before me.

19:050:009 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of
           thy folds.

19:050:010 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
           thousand hills.

19:050:011 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of
           the field are mine.

19:050:012 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is
           mine, and the fulness thereof.

19:050:013 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

19:050:014 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most
           High:

19:050:015 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee,
           and thou shalt glorify me.

19:050:016 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare
           my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
           mouth?

19:050:017 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind
           thee.

19:050:018 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and
           hast been partaker with adulterers.

19:050:019 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

19:050:020 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
           thine own mother's son.

19:050:021 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
           thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I
           will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

19:050:022 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in
           pieces, and there be none to deliver.

19:050:023 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
           his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

19:051:001 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
           according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
           transgressions.

19:051:002 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my
           sin.

19:051:003 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before
           me.

19:051:004 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in
           thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
           and be clear when thou judgest.

19:051:005 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
           conceive me.

19:051:006 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
           hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

19:051:007 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
           shall be whiter than snow.

19:051:008 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou
           hast broken may rejoice.

19:051:009 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

19:051:010 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
           within me.

19:051:011 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
           spirit from me.

19:051:012 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with
           thy free spirit.

19:051:013 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
           converted unto thee.

19:051:014 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
           salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy
           righteousness.

19:051:015 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
           praise.

19:051:016 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
           delightest not in burnt offering.

19:051:017 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
           contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

19:051:018 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls
           of Jerusalem.

19:051:019 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
           righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
           then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

19:052:001 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the
           goodness of God endureth continually.

19:052:002 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
           deceitfully.

19:052:003 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to
           speak righteousness. Selah.

19:052:004 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

19:052:005 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
           away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee
           out of the land of the living. Selah.

19:052:006 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
           him:

19:052:007 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but
           trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened
           himself in his wickedness.

19:052:008 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust
           in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

19:052:009 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I
           will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

19:053:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are
           they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that
           doeth good.

19:053:002 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
           if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

19:053:003 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
           filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

19:053:004 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
           people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

19:053:005 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath
           scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou
           hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

19:053:006 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When
           God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
           rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

19:054:001 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

19:054:002 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

19:054:003 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek
           after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

19:054:004 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold
           my soul.

19:054:005 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy
           truth.

19:054:006 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O
           LORD; for it is good.

19:054:007 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath
           seen his desire upon mine enemies.

19:055:001 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my
           supplication.

19:055:002 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make
           a noise;

19:055:003 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression
           of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath
           they hate me.

19:055:004 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death
           are fallen upon me.

19:055:005 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath
           overwhelmed me.

19:055:006 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I
           fly away, and be at rest.

19:055:007 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.
           Selah.

19:055:008 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

19:055:009 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen
           violence and strife in the city.

19:055:010 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
           mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

19:055:011 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart
           not from her streets.

19:055:012 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have
           borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify
           himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

19:055:013 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
           acquaintance.

19:055:014 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of
           God in company.

19:055:015 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into
           hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

19:055:016 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

19:055:017 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
           and he shall hear my voice.

19:055:018 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was
           against me: for there were many with me.

19:055:019 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.
           Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not
           God.

19:055:020 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with
           him: he hath broken his covenant.

19:055:021 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was
           in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they
           drawn swords.

19:055:022 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he
           shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

19:055:023 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
           destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
           their days; but I will trust in thee.

19:056:001 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he
           fighting daily oppresseth me.

19:056:002 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that
           fight against me, O thou most High.

19:056:003 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

19:056:004 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I
           will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

19:056:005 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against
           me for evil.

19:056:006 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they
           mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

19:056:007 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the
           people, O God.

19:056:008 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
           are they not in thy book?

19:056:009 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this
           I know; for God is for me.

19:056:010 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his
           word.

19:056:011 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can
           do unto me.

19:056:012 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

19:056:013 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou
           deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in
           the light of the living?

19:057:001 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul
           trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make
           my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

19:057:002 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all
           things for me.

19:057:003 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of
           him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his
           mercy and his truth.

19:057:004 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set
           on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and
           arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

19:057:005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be
           above all the earth.

19:057:006 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
           they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they
           are fallen themselves. Selah.

19:057:007 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and
           give praise.

19:057:008 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will
           awake early.

19:057:009 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto
           thee among the nations.

19:057:010 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto
           the clouds.

19:057:011 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be
           above all the earth.

19:058:001 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge
           uprightly, O ye sons of men?

19:058:002 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of
           your hands in the earth.

19:058:003 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon
           as they be born, speaking lies.

19:058:004 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like
           the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

19:058:005 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming
           never so wisely.

19:058:006 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great
           teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

19:058:007 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he
           bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in
           pieces.

19:058:008 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away:
           like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the
           sun.

19:058:009 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away
           as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

19:058:010 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he
           shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

19:058:011 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the
           righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

19:059:001 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them
           that rise up against me.

19:059:002 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from
           bloody men.

19:059:003 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered
           against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

19:059:004 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to
           help me, and behold.

19:059:005 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake
           to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked
           transgressors. Selah.

19:059:006 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
           round about the city.

19:059:007 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their
           lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

19:059:008 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the
           heathen in derision.

19:059:009 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my
           defence.

19:059:010 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my
           desire upon mine enemies.

19:059:011 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy
           power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

19:059:012 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let
           them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying
           which they speak.

19:059:013 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and
           let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the
           earth. Selah.

19:059:014 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like
           a dog, and go round about the city.

19:059:015 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be
           not satisfied.

19:059:016 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
           mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge
           in the day of my trouble.

19:059:017 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence,
           and the God of my mercy.

19:060:001 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou
           hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

19:060:002 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal
           the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

19:060:003 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to
           drink the wine of astonishment.

19:060:004 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may
           be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

19:060:005 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand,
           and hear me.

19:060:006 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
           Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

19:060:007 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the
           strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

19:060:008 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
           Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

19:060:009 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
           Edom?

19:060:010 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O
           God, which didst not go out with our armies?

19:060:011 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

19:060:012 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall
           tread down our enemies.

19:061:001 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

19:061:002 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart
           is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

19:061:003 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from
           the enemy.

19:061:004 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the
           covert of thy wings. Selah.

19:061:005 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the
           heritage of those that fear thy name.

19:061:006 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many
           generations.

19:061:007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth,
           which may preserve him.

19:061:008 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily
           perform my vows.

19:062:001 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

19:062:002 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall
           not be greatly moved.

19:062:003 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be
           slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a
           tottering fence.

19:062:004 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they
           delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse
           inwardly. Selah.

19:062:005 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from
           him.

19:062:006 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall
           not be moved.

19:062:007 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,
           and my refuge, is in God.

19:062:008 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart
           before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

19:062:009 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree
           are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether
           lighter than vanity.

19:062:010 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if
           riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

19:062:011 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power
           belongeth unto God.

19:062:012 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to
           every man according to his work.

19:063:001 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
           thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and
           thirsty land, where no water is;

19:063:002 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the
           sanctuary.

19:063:003 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall
           praise thee.

19:063:004 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands
           in thy name.

19:063:005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my
           mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

19:063:006 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the
           night watches.

19:063:007 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy
           wings will I rejoice.

19:063:008 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
           me.

19:063:009 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the
           lower parts of the earth.

19:063:010 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for
           foxes.

19:063:011 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by
           him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall
           be stopped.

19:064:001 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear
           of the enemy.

19:064:002 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
           insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

19:064:003 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to
           shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

19:064:004 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they
           shoot at him, and fear not.

19:064:005 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of
           laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

19:064:006 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search:
           both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart,
           is deep.

19:064:007 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they
           be wounded.

19:064:008 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
           all that see them shall flee away.

19:064:009 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for
           they shall wisely consider of his doing.

19:064:010 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in
           him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

19:065:001 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall
           the vow be performed.

19:065:002 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

19:065:003 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou
           shalt purge them away.

19:065:004 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach
           unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be
           satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy
           temple.

19:065:005 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God
           of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of
           the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

19:065:006 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded
           with power:

19:065:007 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
           waves, and the tumult of the people.

19:065:008 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy
           tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening
           to rejoice.

19:065:009 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
           enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
           thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

19:065:010 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the
           furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou
           blessest the springing thereof.

19:065:011 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop
           fatness.

19:065:012 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little
           hills rejoice on every side.

19:065:013 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
           covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

19:066:001 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

19:066:002 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

19:066:003 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the
           greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves
           unto thee.

19:066:004 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee;
           they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

19:066:005 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing
           toward the children of men.

19:066:006 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood
           on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

19:066:007 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations:
           let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

19:066:008 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise
           to be heard:

19:066:009 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to
           be moved.

19:066:010 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver
           is tried.

19:066:011 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon
           our loins.

19:066:012 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through
           fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a
           wealthy place.

19:066:013 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee
           my vows,

19:066:014 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I
           was in trouble.

19:066:015 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the
           incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

19:066:016 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what
           he hath done for my soul.

19:066:017 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
           tongue.

19:066:018 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19:066:019 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of
           my prayer.

19:066:020 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his
           mercy from me.

19:067:001 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to
           shine upon us; Selah.

19:067:002 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among
           all nations.

19:067:003 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
           thee.

19:067:004 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt
           judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon
           earth. Selah.

19:067:005 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
           thee.

19:067:006 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own
           God, shall bless us.

19:067:007 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear
           him.

19:068:001 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also
           that hate him flee before him.

19:068:002 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth
           before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of
           God.

19:068:003 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
           yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

19:068:004 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth
           upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

19:068:005 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God
           in his holy habitation.

19:068:006 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those
           which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry
           land.

19:068:007 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
           didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

19:068:008 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of
           God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the
           God of Israel.

19:068:009 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst
           confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

19:068:010 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
           prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

19:068:011 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that
           published it.

19:068:012 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home
           divided the spoil.

19:068:013 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the
           wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with
           yellow gold.

19:068:014 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow
           in Salmon.

19:068:015 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the
           hill of Bashan.

19:068:016 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God
           desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

19:068:017 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of
           angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy
           place.

19:068:018 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:
           thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious
           also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

19:068:019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even
           the God of our salvation. Selah.

19:068:020 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the
           Lord belong the issues from death.

19:068:021 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy
           scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

19:068:022 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my
           people again from the depths of the sea:

19:068:023 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and
           the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

19:068:024 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God,
           my King, in the sanctuary.

19:068:025 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed
           after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

19:068:026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the
           fountain of Israel.

19:068:027 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of
           Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the
           princes of Naphtali.

19:068:028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that
           which thou hast wrought for us.

19:068:029 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents
           unto thee.

19:068:030 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls,
           with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself
           with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in
           war.

19:068:031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch
           out her hands unto God.

19:068:032 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto
           the Lord; Selah:

19:068:033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of
           old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

19:068:034 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel,
           and his strength is in the clouds.

19:068:035 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of
           Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people.
           Blessed be God.

19:069:001 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

19:069:002 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come
           into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

19:069:003 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail
           while I wait for my God.

19:069:004 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of
           mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies
           wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not
           away.

19:069:005 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid
           from thee.

19:069:006 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be
           ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be
           confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

19:069:007 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered
           my face.

19:069:008 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my
           mother's children.

19:069:009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the
           reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

19:069:010 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to
           my reproach.

19:069:011 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to
           them.

19:069:012 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song
           of the drunkards.

19:069:013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an
           acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me,
           in the truth of thy salvation.

19:069:014 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
           delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

19:069:015 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep
           swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

19:069:016 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me
           according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

19:069:017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble:
           hear me speedily.

19:069:018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of
           mine enemies.

19:069:019 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
           mine adversaries are all before thee.

19:069:020 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and
           I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for
           comforters, but I found none.

19:069:021 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave
           me vinegar to drink.

19:069:022 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which
           should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

19:069:023 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their
           loins continually to shake.

19:069:024 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
           anger take hold of them.

19:069:025 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their
           tents.

19:069:026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk
           to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

19:069:027 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into
           thy righteousness.

19:069:028 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be
           written with the righteous.

19:069:029 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me
           up on high.

19:069:030 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify
           him with thanksgiving.

19:069:031 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock
           that hath horns and hoofs.

19:069:032 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall
           live that seek God.

19:069:033 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
           prisoners.

19:069:034 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing
           that moveth therein.

19:069:035 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:
           that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

19:069:036 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that
           love his name shall dwell therein.

19:070:001 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O
           LORD.

19:070:002 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
           let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire
           my hurt.

19:070:003 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say,
           Aha, aha.

19:070:004 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and
           let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be
           magnified.

19:070:005 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art
           my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

19:071:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to
           confusion.

19:071:002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
           incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

19:071:003 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
           resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art
           my rock and my fortress.

19:071:004 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of
           the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

19:071:005 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my
           youth.

19:071:006 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that
           took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be
           continually of thee.

19:071:007 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

19:071:008 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all
           the day.

19:071:009 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my
           strength faileth.

19:071:010 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for
           my soul take counsel together,

19:071:011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
           there is none to deliver him.

19:071:012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

19:071:013 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my
           soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that
           seek my hurt.

19:071:014 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and
           more.

19:071:015 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation
           all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

19:071:016 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention
           of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

19:071:017 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I
           declared thy wondrous works.

19:071:018 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
           until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy
           power to every one that is to come.

19:071:019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done
           great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

19:071:020 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
           quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths
           of the earth.

19:071:021 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
           side.

19:071:022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O
           my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One
           of Israel.

19:071:023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my
           soul, which thou hast redeemed.

19:071:024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
           long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
           shame, that seek my hurt.

19:072:001 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto
           the king's son.

19:072:002 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor
           with judgment.

19:072:003 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little
           hills, by righteousness.

19:072:004 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
           children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
           oppressor.

19:072:005 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
           throughout all generations.

19:072:006 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
           that water the earth.

19:072:007 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
           peace so long as the moon endureth.

19:072:008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
           river unto the ends of the earth.

19:072:009 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and
           his enemies shall lick the dust.

19:072:010 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
           the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

19:072:011 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall
           serve him.

19:072:012 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also,
           and him that hath no helper.

19:072:013 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of
           the needy.

19:072:014 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
           precious shall their blood be in his sight.

19:072:015 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of
           Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and
           daily shall he be praised.

19:072:016 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of
           the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
           they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

19:072:017 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as
           long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations
           shall call him blessed.

19:072:018 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth
           wondrous things.

19:072:019 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole
           earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

19:072:020 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

19:073:001 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean
           heart.

19:073:002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well
           nigh slipped.

19:073:003 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of
           the wicked.

19:073:004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is
           firm.

19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued
           like other men.

19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
           covereth them as a garment.

19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart
           could wish.

19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:
           they speak loftily.

19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
           walketh through the earth.

19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup
           are wrung out to them.

19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
           most High?

19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
           increase in riches.

19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands
           in innocency.

19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
           morning.

19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against
           the generation of thy children.

19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I
           their end.

19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst
           them down into destruction.

19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
           utterly consumed with terrors.

19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest,
           thou shalt despise their image.

19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me
           by my right hand.

19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
           to glory.

19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth
           that I desire beside thee.

19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my
           heart, and my portion for ever.

19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
           destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

19:073:028 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust
           in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine
           anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old;
           the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this
           mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

19:074:003 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that
           the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

19:074:004 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set
           up their ensigns for signs.

19:074:005 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the
           thick trees.

19:074:006 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with
           axes and hammers.

19:074:007 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by
           casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

19:074:008 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they
           have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

19:074:009 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is
           there among us any that knoweth how long.

19:074:010 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy
           blaspheme thy name for ever?

19:074:011 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it
           out of thy bosom.

19:074:012 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of
           the earth.

19:074:013 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the
           heads of the dragons in the waters.

19:074:014 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him
           to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

19:074:015 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up
           mighty rivers.

19:074:016 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared
           the light and the sun.

19:074:017 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made
           summer and winter.

19:074:018 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and
           that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

19:074:019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of
           the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

19:074:020 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the
           earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

19:074:021 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy
           praise thy name.

19:074:022 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish
           man reproacheth thee daily.

19:074:023 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those
           that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

19:075:001 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give
           thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

19:075:002 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

19:075:003 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I
           bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

19:075:004 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked,
           Lift not up the horn:

19:075:005 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

19:075:006 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,
           nor from the south.

19:075:007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
           another.

19:075:008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is
           red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same:
           but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring
           them out, and drink them.

19:075:009 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of
           Jacob.

19:075:010 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns
           of the righteous shall be exalted.

19:076:001 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

19:076:002 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in
           Zion.

19:076:003 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the
           sword, and the battle. Selah.

19:076:004 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of
           prey.

19:076:005 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and
           none of the men of might have found their hands.

19:076:006 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are
           cast into a dead sleep.

19:076:007 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy
           sight when once thou art angry?

19:076:008 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth
           feared, and was still,

19:076:009 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
           Selah.

19:076:010 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of
           wrath shalt thou restrain.

19:076:011 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round
           about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

19:076:012 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the
           kings of the earth.

19:077:001 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice;
           and he gave ear unto me.

19:077:002 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the
           night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

19:077:003 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
           spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

19:077:004 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot
           speak.

19:077:005 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

19:077:006 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with
           mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

19:077:007 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no
           more?

19:077:008 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for
           evermore?

19:077:009 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up
           his tender mercies? Selah.

19:077:010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the
           years of the right hand of the most High.

19:077:011 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember
           thy wonders of old.

19:077:012 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

19:077:013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as
           our God?

19:077:014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy
           strength among the people.

19:077:015 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of
           Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

19:077:016 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were
           afraid: the depths also were troubled.

19:077:017 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine
           arrows also went abroad.

19:077:018 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings
           lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19:077:019 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and
           thy footsteps are not known.

19:077:020 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and
           Aaron.

19:078:001 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the
           words of my mouth.

19:078:002 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings
           of old:

19:078:003 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

19:078:004 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.

19:078:005 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:

19:078:006 That the generation to come might know them, even the children
           which should be born; who should arise and declare them to
           their children:

19:078:007 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the
           works of God, but keep his commandments:

19:078:008 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.

19:078:009 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows,
           turned back in the day of battle.

19:078:010 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his
           law;

19:078:011 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

19:078:012 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the
           land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

19:078:013 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he
           made the waters to stand as an heap.

19:078:014 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the
           night with a light of fire.

19:078:015 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as
           out of the great depths.

19:078:016 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to
           run down like rivers.

19:078:017 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most
           High in the wilderness.

19:078:018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their
           lust.

19:078:019 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a
           table in the wilderness?

19:078:020 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?

19:078:021 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was
           kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

19:078:022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his
           salvation:

19:078:023 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the
           doors of heaven,

19:078:024 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them
           of the corn of heaven.

19:078:025 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

19:078:026 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power
           he brought in the south wind.

19:078:027 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls
           like as the sand of the sea:

19:078:028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about
           their habitations.

19:078:029 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their
           own desire;

19:078:030 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat
           was yet in their mouths,

19:078:031 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them,
           and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

19:078:032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
           wondrous works.

19:078:033 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years
           in trouble.

19:078:034 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and
           enquired early after God.

19:078:035 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God
           their redeemer.

19:078:036 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they
           lied unto him with their tongues.

19:078:037 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
           stedfast in his covenant.

19:078:038 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.

19:078:039 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that
           passeth away, and cometh not again.

19:078:040 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him
           in the desert!

19:078:041 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy
           One of Israel.

19:078:042 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered
           them from the enemy.

19:078:043 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the
           field of Zoan.

19:078:044 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that
           they could not drink.

19:078:045 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them;
           and frogs, which destroyed them.

19:078:046 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their
           labour unto the locust.

19:078:047 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees
           with frost.

19:078:048 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to
           hot thunderbolts.

19:078:049 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
           indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

19:078:050 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from
           death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

19:078:051 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their
           strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

19:078:052 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided
           them in the wilderness like a flock.

19:078:053 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the
           sea overwhelmed their enemies.

19:078:054 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to
           this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

19:078:055 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.

19:078:056 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not
           his testimonies:

19:078:057 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
           they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

19:078:058 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
           moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

19:078:059 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred
           Israel:

19:078:060 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he
           placed among men;

19:078:061 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into
           the enemy's hand.

19:078:062 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth
           with his inheritance.

19:078:063 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not
           given to marriage.

19:078:064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
           lamentation.

19:078:065 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty
           man that shouteth by reason of wine.

19:078:066 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a
           perpetual reproach.

19:078:067 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not
           the tribe of Ephraim:

19:078:068 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

19:078:069 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth
           which he hath established for ever.

19:078:070 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
           sheepfolds:

19:078:071 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to
           feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

19:078:072 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
           guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

19:079:001 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy
           temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

19:079:002 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat
           unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the
           beasts of the earth.

19:079:003 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem;
           and there was none to bury them.

19:079:004 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
           derision to them that are round about us.

19:079:005 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy
           jealousy burn like fire?

19:079:006 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,
           and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

19:079:007 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling
           place.

19:079:008 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
           mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

19:079:009 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:
           and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

19:079:010 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him
           be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of
           the blood of thy servants which is shed.

19:079:011 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to
           the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are
           appointed to die;

19:079:012 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom
           their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

19:079:013 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee
           thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all
           generations.

19:080:001 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like
           a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine
           forth.

19:080:002 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
           and come and save us.

19:080:003 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we
           shall be saved.

19:080:004 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
           prayer of thy people?

19:080:005 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them
           tears to drink in great measure.

19:080:006 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
           laugh among themselves.

19:080:007 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine;
           and we shall be saved.

19:080:008 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
           heathen, and planted it.

19:080:009 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take
           deep root, and it filled the land.

19:080:010 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs
           thereof were like the goodly cedars.

19:080:011 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto
           the river.

19:080:012 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they
           which pass by the way do pluck her?

19:080:013 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of
           the field doth devour it.

19:080:014 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from
           heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

19:080:015 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
           branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

19:080:016 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the
           rebuke of thy countenance.

19:080:017 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son
           of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

19:080:018 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call
           upon thy name.

19:080:019 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine;
           and we shall be saved.

19:081:001 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the
           God of Jacob.

19:081:002 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp
           with the psaltery.

19:081:003 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on
           our solemn feast day.

19:081:004 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of
           Jacob.

19:081:005 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out
           through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I
           understood not.

19:081:006 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
           delivered from the pots.

19:081:007 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered
           thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the
           waters of Meribah. Selah.

19:081:008 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
           thou wilt hearken unto me;

19:081:009 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
           worship any strange god.

19:081:010 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
           Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

19:081:011 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would
           none of me.

19:081:012 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked
           in their own counsels.

19:081:013 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked
           in my ways!

19:081:014 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand
           against their adversaries.

19:081:015 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto
           him: but their time should have endured for ever.

19:081:016 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and
           with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

19:082:001 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth
           among the gods.

19:082:002 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
           wicked? Selah.

19:082:003 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted
           and needy.

19:082:004 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
           wicked.

19:082:005 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
           darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

19:082:006 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
           most High.

19:082:007 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

19:082:008 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
           nations.

19:083:001 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
           still, O God.

19:083:002 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
           have lifted up the head.

19:083:003 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
           consulted against thy hidden ones.

19:083:004 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a
           nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

19:083:005 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
           confederate against thee:

19:083:006 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
           Hagarenes;

19:083:007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
           inhabitants of Tyre;

19:083:008 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children
           of Lot. Selah.

19:083:009 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to
           Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

19:083:010 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

19:083:011 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
           princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

19:083:012 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
           possession.

19:083:013 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
           wind.

19:083:014 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
           mountains on fire;

19:083:015 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with
           thy storm.

19:083:016 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
           LORD.

19:083:017 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be
           put to shame, and perish:

19:083:018 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art
           the most high over all the earth.

19:084:001 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

19:084:002 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the
           LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

19:084:003 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest
           for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O
           LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

19:084:004 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
           praising thee. Selah.

19:084:005 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart
           are the ways of them.

19:084:006 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the
           rain also filleth the pools.

19:084:007 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion
           appeareth before God.

19:084:008 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
           Selah.

19:084:009 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
           anointed.

19:084:010 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had
           rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell
           in the tents of wickedness.

19:084:011 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace
           and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk
           uprightly.

19:084:012 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

19:085:001 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast
           brought back the captivity of Jacob.

19:085:002 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast
           covered all their sin. Selah.

19:085:003 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself
           from the fierceness of thine anger.

19:085:004 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward
           us to cease.

19:085:005 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine
           anger to all generations?

19:085:006 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in
           thee?

19:085:007 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

19:085:008 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak
           peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not
           turn again to folly.

19:085:009 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory
           may dwell in our land.

19:085:010 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have
           kissed each other.

19:085:011 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall
           look down from heaven.

19:085:012 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land
           shall yield her increase.

19:085:013 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way
           of his steps.

19:086:001 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

19:086:002 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy
           servant that trusteth in thee.

19:086:003 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

19:086:004 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I
           lift up my soul.

19:086:005 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous
           in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

19:086:006 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of
           my supplications.

19:086:007 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt
           answer me.

19:086:008 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
           are there any works like unto thy works.

19:086:009 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before
           thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

19:086:010 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
           alone.

19:086:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
           heart to fear thy name.

19:086:012 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I
           will glorify thy name for evermore.

19:086:013 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my
           soul from the lowest hell.

19:086:014 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of
           violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee
           before them.

19:086:015 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
           longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

19:086:016 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto
           thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

19:086:017 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it,
           and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and
           comforted me.

19:087:001 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

19:087:002 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings
           of Jacob.

19:087:003 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

19:087:004 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
           behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born
           there.

19:087:005 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in
           her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

19:087:006 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this
           man was born there. Selah.

19:087:007 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be
           there: all my springs are in thee.

19:088:001 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
           thee:

19:088:002 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

19:088:003 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto
           the grave.

19:088:004 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a
           man that hath no strength:

19:088:005 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
           whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy
           hand.

19:088:006 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
           deeps.

19:088:007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with
           all thy waves. Selah.

19:088:008 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast
           made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot
           come forth.

19:088:009 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called
           daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

19:088:010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and
           praise thee? Selah.

19:088:011 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
           faithfulness in destruction?

19:088:012 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
           in the land of forgetfulness?

19:088:013 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall
           my prayer prevent thee.

19:088:014 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face
           from me?

19:088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I
           suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

19:088:016 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

19:088:017 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me
           about together.

19:088:018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine
           acquaintance into darkness.

19:089:001 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth
           will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

19:089:002 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
           faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

19:089:003 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David
           my servant,

19:089:004 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to
           all generations. Selah.

19:089:005 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
           faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

19:089:006 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among
           the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

19:089:007 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and
           to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

19:089:008 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or
           to thy faithfulness round about thee?

19:089:009 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof
           arise, thou stillest them.

19:089:010 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou
           hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

19:089:011 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the
           world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

19:089:012 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and
           Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

19:089:013 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy
           right hand.

19:089:014 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy
           and truth shall go before thy face.

19:089:015 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall
           walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

19:089:016 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
           righteousness shall they be exalted.

19:089:017 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour
           our horn shall be exalted.

19:089:018 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our
           king.

19:089:019 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I
           have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one
           chosen out of the people.

19:089:020 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I
           anointed him:

19:089:021 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
           strengthen him.

19:089:022 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness
           afflict him.

19:089:023 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them
           that hate him.

19:089:024 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my
           name shall his horn be exalted.

19:089:025 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
           rivers.

19:089:026 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock
           of my salvation.

19:089:027 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of
           the earth.

19:089:028 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant
           shall stand fast with him.

19:089:029 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne
           as the days of heaven.

19:089:030 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

19:089:031 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

19:089:032 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their
           iniquity with stripes.

19:089:033 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from
           him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

19:089:034 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
           out of my lips.

19:089:035 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto
           David.

19:089:036 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
           before me.

19:089:037 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a
           faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

19:089:038 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with
           thine anointed.

19:089:039 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast
           profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

19:089:040 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his
           strong holds to ruin.

19:089:041 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his
           neighbours.

19:089:042 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast
           made all his enemies to rejoice.

19:089:043 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made
           him to stand in the battle.

19:089:044 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to
           the ground.

19:089:045 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered
           him with shame. Selah.

19:089:046 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy
           wrath burn like fire?

19:089:047 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all
           men in vain?

19:089:048 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he
           deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

19:089:049 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou
           swarest unto David in thy truth?

19:089:050 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in
           my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

19:089:051 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith
           they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

19:089:052 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

19:090:001 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

19:090:002 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
           formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
           everlasting, thou art God.

19:090:003 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
           children of men.

19:090:004 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it
           is past, and as a watch in the night.

19:090:005 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
           in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

19:090:006 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening
           it is cut down, and withereth.

19:090:007 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
           troubled.

19:090:008 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in
           the light of thy countenance.

19:090:009 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
           years as a tale that is told.

19:090:010 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by
           reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their
           strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly
           away.

19:090:011 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy
           fear, so is thy wrath.

19:090:012 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
           unto wisdom.

19:090:013 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning
           thy servants.

19:090:014 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be
           glad all our days.

19:090:015 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted
           us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

19:090:016 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto
           their children.

19:090:017 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and
           establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of
           our hands establish thou it.

19:091:001 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
           abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

19:091:002 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my
           God; in him will I trust.

19:091:003 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and
           from the noisome pestilence.

19:091:004 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
           shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

19:091:005 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
           arrow that flieth by day;

19:091:006 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
           destruction that wasteth at noonday.

19:091:007 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
           right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

19:091:008 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of
           the wicked.

19:091:009 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the
           most High, thy habitation;

19:091:010 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
           nigh thy dwelling.

19:091:011 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
           all thy ways.

19:091:012 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy
           foot against a stone.

19:091:013 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and
           the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

19:091:014 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.

19:091:015 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with
           him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

19:091:016 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

19:092:001 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING
           PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:

19:092:002 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
           faithfulness every night,

19:092:003 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
           the harp with a solemn sound.

19:092:004 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will
           triumph in the works of thy hands.

19:092:005 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very
           deep.

19:092:006 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand
           this.

19:092:007 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers
           of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed
           for ever:

19:092:008 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

19:092:009 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall
           perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

19:092:010 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I
           shall be anointed with fresh oil.

19:092:011 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine
           ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against
           me.

19:092:012 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow
           like a cedar in Lebanon.

19:092:013 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish
           in the courts of our God.

19:092:014 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be
           fat and flourishing;

19:092:015 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is
           no unrighteousness in him.

19:093:001 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is
           clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the
           world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

19:093:002 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

19:093:003 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up
           their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

19:093:004 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
           yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

19:093:005 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house,
           O LORD, for ever.

19:094:001 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
           vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

19:094:002 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to
           the proud.

19:094:003 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
           triumph?

19:094:004 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the
           workers of iniquity boast themselves?

19:094:005 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
           heritage.

19:094:006 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the
           fatherless.

19:094:007 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of
           Jacob regard it.

19:094:008 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when
           will ye be wise?

19:094:009 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the
           eye, shall he not see?

19:094:010 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that
           teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

19:094:011 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

19:094:012 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest
           him out of thy law;

19:094:013 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
           until the pit be digged for the wicked.

19:094:014 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he
           forsake his inheritance.

19:094:015 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the
           upright in heart shall follow it.

19:094:016 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will
           stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

19:094:017 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
           silence.

19:094:018 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

19:094:019 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight
           my soul.

19:094:020 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
           frameth mischief by a law?

19:094:021 They gather themselves together against the soul of the
           righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

19:094:022 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my
           refuge.

19:094:023 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut
           them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall
           cut them off.

19:095:001 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise
           to the rock of our salvation.

19:095:002 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
           joyful noise unto him with psalms.

19:095:003 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

19:095:004 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of
           the hills is his also.

19:095:005 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry
           land.

19:095:006 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the
           LORD our maker.

19:095:007 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and
           the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

19:095:008 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the
           day of temptation in the wilderness:

19:095:009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

19:095:010 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said,
           It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not
           known my ways:

19:095:011 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into
           my rest.

19:096:001 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the
           earth.

19:096:002 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation
           from day to day.

19:096:003 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
           people.

19:096:004 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be
           feared above all gods.

19:096:005 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made
           the heavens.

19:096:006 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in
           his sanctuary.

19:096:007 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the
           LORD glory and strength.

19:096:008 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an
           offering, and come into his courts.

19:096:009 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him,
           all the earth.

19:096:010 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also
           shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall
           judge the people righteously.

19:096:011 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the
           sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

19:096:012 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall
           all the trees of the wood rejoice

19:096:013 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the
           earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the
           people with his truth.

19:097:001 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of
           isles be glad thereof.

19:097:002 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and
           judgment are the habitation of his throne.

19:097:003 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round
           about.

19:097:004 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
           trembled.

19:097:005 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the
           presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

19:097:006 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see
           his glory.

19:097:007 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
           themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

19:097:008 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced
           because of thy judgments, O LORD.

19:097:009 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted
           far above all gods.

19:097:010 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of
           his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

19:097:011 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright
           in heart.

19:097:012 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
           remembrance of his holiness.

19:098:001 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous
           things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the
           victory.

19:098:002 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath
           he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

19:098:003 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of
           Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of
           our God.

19:098:004 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud
           noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

19:098:005 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice
           of a psalm.

19:098:006 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before
           the LORD, the King.

19:098:007 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they
           that dwell therein.

19:098:008 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful
           together

19:098:009 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with
           righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with
           equity.

19:099:001 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between
           the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

19:099:002 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the
           people.

19:099:003 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

19:099:004 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish
           equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

19:099:005 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for
           he is holy.

19:099:006 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that
           call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered
           them.

19:099:007 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
           testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

19:099:008 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that
           forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their
           inventions.

19:099:009 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the
           LORD our God is holy.

19:100:001 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

19:100:002 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with
           singing.

19:100:003 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us,
           and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his
           pasture.

19:100:004 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts
           with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

19:100:005 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
           endureth to all generations.

19:101:001 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I
           sing.

19:101:002 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou
           come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect
           heart.

19:101:003 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work
           of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

19:101:004 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
           person.

19:101:005 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:
           him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I
           suffer.

19:101:006 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they
           may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall
           serve me.

19:101:007 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he
           that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

19:101:008 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may
           cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

19:102:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

19:102:002 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;
           incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me
           speedily.

19:102:003 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned
           as an hearth.

19:102:004 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget
           to eat my bread.

19:102:005 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
           skin.

19:102:006 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the
           desert.

19:102:007 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

19:102:008 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad
           against me are sworn against me.

19:102:009 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with
           weeping.

19:102:010 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast
           lifted me up, and cast me down.

19:102:011 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered
           like grass.

19:102:012 But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance
           unto all generations.

19:102:013 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
           favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

19:102:014 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the
           dust thereof.

19:102:015 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the
           kings of the earth thy glory.

19:102:016 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his
           glory.

19:102:017 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
           their prayer.

19:102:018 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the
           people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

19:102:019 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from
           heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

19:102:020 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are
           appointed to death;

19:102:021 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
           Jerusalem;

19:102:022 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to
           serve the LORD.

19:102:023 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

19:102:024 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
           thy years are throughout all generations.

19:102:025 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the
           heavens are the work of thy hands.

19:102:026 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them
           shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change
           them, and they shall be changed:

19:102:027 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

19:102:028 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed
           shall be established before thee.

19:103:001 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless
           his holy name.

19:103:002 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

19:103:003 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
           diseases;

19:103:004 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee
           with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

19:103:005 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth
           is renewed like the eagle's.

19:103:006 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
           oppressed.

19:103:007 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children
           of Israel.

19:103:008 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
           plenteous in mercy.

19:103:009 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for
           ever.

19:103:010 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
           according to our iniquities.

19:103:011 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his
           mercy toward them that fear him.

19:103:012 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed
           our transgressions from us.

19:103:013 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth
           them that fear him.

19:103:014 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

19:103:015 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field,
           so he flourisheth.

19:103:016 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place
           thereof shall know it no more.

19:103:017 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
           upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
           children;

19:103:018 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
           commandments to do them.

19:103:019 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his
           kingdom ruleth over all.

19:103:020 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do
           his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

19:103:021 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that
           do his pleasure.

19:103:022 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:
           bless the LORD, O my soul.

19:104:001 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;
           thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

19:104:002 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who
           stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

19:104:003 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh
           the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the
           wind:

19:104:004 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

19:104:005 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
           removed for ever.

19:104:006 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters
           stood above the mountains.

19:104:007 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
           hasted away.

19:104:008 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto
           the place which thou hast founded for them.

19:104:009 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they
           turn not again to cover the earth.

19:104:010 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the
           hills.

19:104:011 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses
           quench their thirst.

19:104:012 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
           which sing among the branches.

19:104:013 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
           satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

19:104:014 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the
           service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

19:104:015 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make
           his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

19:104:016 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon,
           which he hath planted;

19:104:017 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir
           trees are her house.

19:104:018 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks
           for the conies.

19:104:019 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going
           down.

19:104:020 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts
           of the forest do creep forth.

19:104:021 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat
           from God.

19:104:022 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them
           down in their dens.

19:104:023 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the
           evening.

19:104:024 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made
           them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

19:104:025 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping
           innumerable, both small and great beasts.

19:104:026 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast
           made to play therein.

19:104:027 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their
           meat in due season.

19:104:028 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand,
           they are filled with good.

19:104:029 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away
           their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

19:104:030 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou
           renewest the face of the earth.

19:104:031 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall
           rejoice in his works.

19:104:032 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the
           hills, and they smoke.

19:104:033 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing
           praise to my God while I have my being.

19:104:034 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the
           LORD.

19:104:035 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the
           wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye
           the LORD.

19:105:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known
           his deeds among the people.

19:105:002 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his
           wondrous works.

19:105:003 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
           seek the LORD.

19:105:004 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

19:105:005 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders,
           and the judgments of his mouth;

19:105:006 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his
           chosen.

19:105:007 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

19:105:008 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he
           commanded to a thousand generations.

19:105:009 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

19:105:010 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for
           an everlasting covenant:

19:105:011 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of
           your inheritance:

19:105:012 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and
           strangers in it.

19:105:013 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to
           another people;

19:105:014 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings
           for their sakes;

19:105:015 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

19:105:016 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the
           whole staff of bread.

19:105:017 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a
           servant:

19:105:018 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19:105:019 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried
           him.

19:105:020 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people,
           and let him go free.

19:105:021 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

19:105:022 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators
           wisdom.

19:105:023 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land
           of Ham.

19:105:024 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger
           than their enemies.

19:105:025 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly
           with his servants.

19:105:026 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

19:105:027 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of
           Ham.

19:105:028 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not
           against his word.

19:105:029 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

19:105:030 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers
           of their kings.

19:105:031 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in
           all their coasts.

19:105:032 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

19:105:033 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the
           trees of their coasts.

19:105:034 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that
           without number,

19:105:035 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the
           fruit of their ground.

19:105:036 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of
           all their strength.

19:105:037 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was
           not one feeble person among their tribes.

19:105:038 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell
           upon them.

19:105:039 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in
           the night.

19:105:040 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them
           with the bread of heaven.

19:105:041 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the
           dry places like a river.

19:105:042 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

19:105:043 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with
           gladness:

19:105:044 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the
           labour of the people;

19:105:045 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
           Praise ye the LORD.

19:106:001 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is
           good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

19:106:002 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth
           all his praise?

19:106:003 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth
           righteousness at all times.

19:106:004 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto
           thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

19:106:005 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in
           the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine
           inheritance.

19:106:006 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity,
           we have done wickedly.

19:106:007 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they
           remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him
           at the sea, even at the Red sea.

19:106:008 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might
           make his mighty power to be known.

19:106:009 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led
           them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

19:106:010 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and
           redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

19:106:011 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of
           them left.

19:106:012 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

19:106:013 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

19:106:014 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in
           the desert.

19:106:015 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their
           soul.

19:106:016 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the
           LORD.

19:106:017 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the
           company of Abiram.

19:106:018 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up
           the wicked.

19:106:019 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

19:106:020 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox
           that eateth grass.

19:106:021 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in
           Egypt;

19:106:022 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the
           Red sea.

19:106:023 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses
           his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his
           wrath, lest he should destroy them.

19:106:024 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his
           word:

19:106:025 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice
           of the LORD.

19:106:026 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow
           them in the wilderness:

19:106:027 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
           them in the lands.

19:106:028 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the
           sacrifices of the dead.

19:106:029 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the
           plague brake in upon them.

19:106:030 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the
           plague was stayed.

19:106:031 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all
           generations for evermore.

19:106:032 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went
           ill with Moses for their sakes:

19:106:033 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly
           with his lips.

19:106:034 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD
           commanded them:

19:106:035 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

19:106:036 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

19:106:037 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto
           devils,

19:106:038 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
           their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of
           Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

19:106:039 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a
           whoring with their own inventions.

19:106:040 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his
           people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

19:106:041 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that
           hated them ruled over them.

19:106:042 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into
           subjection under their hand.

19:106:043 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with
           their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

19:106:044 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their
           cry:

19:106:045 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
           according to the multitude of his mercies.

19:106:046 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
           captives.

19:106:047 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen,
           to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy
           praise.

19:106:048 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to
           everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the
           LORD.

19:107:001 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy
           endureth for ever.

19:107:002 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed
           from the hand of the enemy;

19:107:003 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from
           the west, from the north, and from the south.

19:107:004 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found
           no city to dwell in.

19:107:005 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

19:107:006 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he
           delivered them out of their distresses.

19:107:007 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to
           a city of habitation.

19:107:008 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
           his wonderful works to the children of men!

19:107:009 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry
           soul with goodness.

19:107:010 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being
           bound in affliction and iron;

19:107:011 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned
           the counsel of the most High:

19:107:012 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell
           down, and there was none to help.

19:107:013 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved
           them out of their distresses.

19:107:014 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
           brake their bands in sunder.

19:107:015 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
           his wonderful works to the children of men!

19:107:016 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of
           iron in sunder.

19:107:017 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their
           iniquities, are afflicted.

19:107:018 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near
           unto the gates of death.

19:107:019 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth
           them out of their distresses.

19:107:020 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from
           their destructions.

19:107:021 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
           his wonderful works to the children of men!

19:107:022 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and
           declare his works with rejoicing.

19:107:023 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in
           great waters;

19:107:024 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

19:107:025 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth
           up the waves thereof.

19:107:026 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:
           their soul is melted because of trouble.

19:107:027 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are
           at their wit's end.

19:107:028 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth
           them out of their distresses.

19:107:029 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are
           still.

19:107:030 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them
           unto their desired haven.

19:107:031 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
           his wonderful works to the children of men!

19:107:032 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and
           praise him in the assembly of the elders.

19:107:033 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into
           dry ground;

19:107:034 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them
           that dwell therein.

19:107:035 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry
           ground into watersprings.

19:107:036 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare
           a city for habitation;

19:107:037 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield
           fruits of increase.

19:107:038 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
           and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

19:107:039 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression,
           affliction, and sorrow.

19:107:040 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander
           in the wilderness, where there is no way.

19:107:041 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh
           him families like a flock.

19:107:042 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity
           shall stop her mouth.

19:107:043 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall
           understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

19:108:001 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even
           with my glory.

19:108:002 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

19:108:003 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing
           praises unto thee among the nations.

19:108:004 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth
           reacheth unto the clouds.

19:108:005 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above
           all the earth;

19:108:006 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand,
           and answer me.

19:108:007 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
           Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

19:108:008 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength
           of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

19:108:009 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over
           Philistia will I triumph.

19:108:010 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into
           Edom?

19:108:011 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou,
           O God, go forth with our hosts?

19:108:012 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

19:108:013 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall
           tread down our enemies.

19:109:001 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

19:109:002 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are
           opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying
           tongue.

19:109:003 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought
           against me without a cause.

19:109:004 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto
           prayer.

19:109:005 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my
           love.

19:109:006 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his
           right hand.

19:109:007 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his
           prayer become sin.

19:109:008 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

19:109:009 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

19:109:010 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them
           seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

19:109:011 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the
           strangers spoil his labour.

19:109:012 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there
           be any to favour his fatherless children.

19:109:013 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following
           let their name be blotted out.

19:109:014 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;
           and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

19:109:015 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off
           the memory of them from the earth.

19:109:016 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted
           the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in
           heart.

19:109:017 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted
           not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

19:109:018 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment,
           so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into
           his bones.

19:109:019 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for
           a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

19:109:020 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and
           of them that speak evil against my soul.

19:109:021 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake:
           because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

19:109:022 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

19:109:023 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up
           and down as the locust.

19:109:024 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of
           fatness.

19:109:025 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me
           they shaked their heads.

19:109:026 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

19:109:027 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD,
           hast done it.

19:109:028 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be
           ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

19:109:029 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
           themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

19:109:030 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will
           praise him among the multitude.

19:109:031 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him
           from those that condemn his soul.

19:110:001 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I
           make thine enemies thy footstool.

19:110:002 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule
           thou in the midst of thine enemies.

19:110:003 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the
           beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast
           the dew of thy youth.

19:110:004 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest
           for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

19:110:005 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the
           day of his wrath.

19:110:006 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places
           with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many
           countries.

19:110:007 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he
           lift up the head.

19:111:001 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole
           heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the
           congregation.

19:111:002 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that
           have pleasure therein.

19:111:003 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness
           endureth for ever.

19:111:004 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is
           gracious and full of compassion.

19:111:005 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be
           mindful of his covenant.

19:111:006 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may
           give them the heritage of the heathen.

19:111:007 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his
           commandments are sure.

19:111:008 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and
           uprightness.

19:111:009 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his
           covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

19:111:010 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good
           understanding have all they that do his commandments: his
           praise endureth for ever.

19:112:001 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD,
           that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

19:112:002 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the
           upright shall be blessed.

19:112:003 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness
           endureth for ever.

19:112:004 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is
           gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

19:112:005 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his
           affairs with discretion.

19:112:006 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be
           in everlasting remembrance.

19:112:007 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed,
           trusting in the LORD.

19:112:008 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see
           his desire upon his enemies.

19:112:009 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his
           righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted
           with honour.

19:112:010 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with
           his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall
           perish.

19:113:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise
           the name of the LORD.

19:113:002 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for
           evermore.

19:113:003 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the
           LORD's name is to be praised.

19:113:004 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the
           heavens.

19:113:005 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

19:113:006 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven,
           and in the earth!

19:113:007 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy
           out of the dunghill;

19:113:008 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his
           people.

19:113:009 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful
           mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

19:114:001 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a
           people of strange language;

19:114:002 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

19:114:003 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

19:114:004 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like
           lambs.

19:114:005 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan,
           that thou wast driven back?

19:114:006 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills,
           like lambs?

19:114:007 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the
           presence of the God of Jacob;

19:114:008 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a
           fountain of waters.

19:115:001 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give
           glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

19:115:002 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

19:115:003 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath
           pleased.

19:115:004 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

19:115:005 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they
           see not:

19:115:006 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they
           smell not:

19:115:007 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they
           walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

19:115:008 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that
           trusteth in them.

19:115:009 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their
           shield.

19:115:010 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and
           their shield.

19:115:011 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and
           their shield.

19:115:012 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will
           bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

19:115:013 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

19:115:014 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your
           children.

19:115:015 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

19:115:016 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth
           hath he given to the children of men.

19:115:017 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into
           silence.

19:115:018 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for
           evermore. Praise the LORD.

19:116:001 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my
           supplications.

19:116:002 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I
           call upon him as long as I live.

19:116:003 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat
           hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

19:116:004 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech
           thee, deliver my soul.

19:116:005 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

19:116:006 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he
           helped me.

19:116:007 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt
           bountifully with thee.

19:116:008 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from
           tears, and my feet from falling.

19:116:009 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

19:116:010 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

19:116:011 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

19:116:012 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward
           me?

19:116:013 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of
           the LORD.

19:116:014 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all
           his people.

19:116:015 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

19:116:016 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son
           of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

19:116:017 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will
           call upon the name of the LORD.

19:116:018 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all
           his people.

19:116:019 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O
           Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

19:117:001 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

19:117:002 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of
           the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

19:118:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy
           endureth for ever.

19:118:002 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

19:118:003 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for
           ever.

19:118:004 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:118:005 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and
           set me in a large place.

19:118:006 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto
           me?

19:118:007 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore
           shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

19:118:008 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
           man.

19:118:009 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in
           princes.

19:118:010 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD
           will I destroy them.

19:118:011 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in
           the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

19:118:012 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the
           fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy
           them.

19:118:013 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD
           helped me.

19:118:014 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

19:118:015 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of
           the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

19:118:016 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the
           LORD doeth valiantly.

19:118:017 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

19:118:018 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over
           unto death.

19:118:019 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them,
           and I will praise the LORD:

19:118:020 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

19:118:021 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my
           salvation.

19:118:022 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone
           of the corner.

19:118:023 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

19:118:024 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and
           be glad in it.

19:118:025 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send
           now prosperity.

19:118:026 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have
           blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

19:118:027 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the
           sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

19:118:028 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I
           will exalt thee.

19:118:029 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy
           endureth for ever.

19:119:001 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of
           the LORD.

19:119:002 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him
           with the whole heart.

19:119:003 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

19:119:004 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

19:119:005 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

19:119:006 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy
           commandments.

19:119:007 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall
           have learned thy righteous judgments.

19:119:008 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

19:119:009 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed
           thereto according to thy word.

19:119:010 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander
           from thy commandments.

19:119:011 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
           against thee.

19:119:012 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

19:119:013 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

19:119:014 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in
           all riches.

19:119:015 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy
           ways.

19:119:016 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy
           word.

19:119:017 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep
           thy word.

19:119:018 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of
           thy law.

19:119:019 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from
           me.

19:119:020 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy
           judgments at all times.

19:119:021 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from
           thy commandments.

19:119:022 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy
           testimonies.

19:119:023 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did
           meditate in thy statutes.

19:119:024 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

19:119:025 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to
           thy word.

19:119:026 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy
           statutes.

19:119:027 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk
           of thy wondrous works.

19:119:028 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according
           unto thy word.

19:119:029 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law
           graciously.

19:119:030 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid
           before me.

19:119:031 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to
           shame.

19:119:032 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt
           enlarge my heart.

19:119:033 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it
           unto the end.

19:119:034 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall
           observe it with my whole heart.

19:119:035 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do
           I delight.

19:119:036 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to
           covetousness.

19:119:037 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me
           in thy way.

19:119:038 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy
           fear.

19:119:039 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are
           good.

19:119:040 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy
           righteousness.

19:119:041 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation,
           according to thy word.

19:119:042 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me:
           for I trust in thy word.

19:119:043 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I
           have hoped in thy judgments.

19:119:044 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

19:119:045 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

19:119:046 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will
           not be ashamed.

19:119:047 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have
           loved.

19:119:048 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I
           have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

19:119:049 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast
           caused me to hope.

19:119:050 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath
           quickened me.

19:119:051 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not
           declined from thy law.

19:119:052 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted
           myself.

19:119:053 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that
           forsake thy law.

19:119:054 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

19:119:055 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have
           kept thy law.

19:119:056 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

19:119:057 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy
           words.

19:119:058 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto
           me according to thy word.

19:119:059 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

19:119:060 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

19:119:061 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not
           forgotten thy law.

19:119:062 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of
           thy righteous judgments.

19:119:063 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that
           keep thy precepts.

19:119:064 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy
           statutes.

19:119:065 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto
           thy word.

19:119:066 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy
           commandments.

19:119:067 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy
           word.

19:119:068 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

19:119:069 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy
           precepts with my whole heart.

19:119:070 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

19:119:071 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might
           learn thy statutes.

19:119:072 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold
           and silver.

19:119:073 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me
           understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

19:119:074 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I
           have hoped in thy word.

19:119:075 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in
           faithfulness hast afflicted me.

19:119:076 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort,
           according to thy word unto thy servant.

19:119:077 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy
           law is my delight.

19:119:078 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me
           without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

19:119:079 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have
           known thy testimonies.

19:119:080 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

19:119:081 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

19:119:082 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort
           me?

19:119:083 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not
           forget thy statutes.

19:119:084 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute
           judgment on them that persecute me?

19:119:085 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy
           law.

19:119:086 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me
           wrongfully; help thou me.

19:119:087 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy
           precepts.

19:119:088 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the
           testimony of thy mouth.

19:119:089 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

19:119:090 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast
           established the earth, and it abideth.

19:119:091 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all
           are thy servants.

19:119:092 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have
           perished in mine affliction.

19:119:093 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast
           quickened me.

19:119:094 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.

19:119:095 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will
           consider thy testimonies.

19:119:096 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is
           exceeding broad.

19:119:097 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

19:119:098 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine
           enemies: for they are ever with me.

19:119:099 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy
           testimonies are my meditation.

19:119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy
           precepts.

19:119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might
           keep thy word.

19:119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught
           me.

19:119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey
           to my mouth!

19:119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate
           every false way.

19:119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

19:119:106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy
           righteous judgments.

19:119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto
           thy word.

19:119:108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O
           LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

19:119:109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy
           law.

19:119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy
           precepts.

19:119:111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they
           are the rejoicing of my heart.

19:119:112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even
           unto the end.

19:119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

19:119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

19:119:115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments
           of my God.

19:119:116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me
           not be ashamed of my hope.

19:119:117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect
           unto thy statutes continually.

19:119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes:
           for their deceit is falsehood.

19:119:119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross:
           therefore I love thy testimonies.

19:119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy
           judgments.

19:119:121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine
           oppressors.

19:119:122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress
           me.

19:119:123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy
           righteousness.

19:119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me
           thy statutes.

19:119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy
           testimonies.

19:119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void
           thy law.

19:119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine
           gold.

19:119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to
           be right; and I hate every false way.

19:119:129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep
           them.

19:119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth
           understanding unto the simple.

19:119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy
           commandments.

19:119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to
           do unto those that love thy name.

19:119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have
           dominion over me.

19:119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy
           precepts.

19:119:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy
           statutes.

19:119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy
           law.

19:119:137 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

19:119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and
           very faithful.

19:119:139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten
           thy words.

19:119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

19:119:141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

19:119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law
           is the truth.

19:119:143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy
           commandments are my delights.

19:119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me
           understanding, and I shall live.

19:119:145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy
           statutes.

19:119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

19:119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in
           thy word.

19:119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in
           thy word.

19:119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD,
           quicken me according to thy judgment.

19:119:150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from
           thy law.

19:119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

19:119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast
           founded them for ever.

19:119:153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget
           thy law.

19:119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy
           word.

19:119:155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy
           statutes.

19:119:156 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to
           thy judgments.

19:119:157 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline
           from thy testimonies.

19:119:158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept
           not thy word.

19:119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD,
           according to thy lovingkindness.

19:119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy
           righteous judgments endureth for ever.

19:119:161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart
           standeth in awe of thy word.

19:119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

19:119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.

19:119:164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous
           judgments.

19:119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall
           offend them.

19:119:166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy
           commandments.

19:119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them
           exceedingly.

19:119:168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways
           are before thee.

19:119:169 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me
           understanding according to thy word.

19:119:170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to
           thy word.

19:119:171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy
           statutes.

19:119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments
           are righteousness.

19:119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

19:119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my
           delight.

19:119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy
           judgments help me.

19:119:176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I
           do not forget thy commandments.

19:120:001 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

19:120:002 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful
           tongue.

19:120:003 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto
           thee, thou false tongue?

19:120:004 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

19:120:005 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents
           of Kedar!

19:120:006 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

19:120:007 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

19:121:001 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my
           help.

19:121:002 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

19:121:003 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee
           will not slumber.

19:121:004 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor
           sleep.

19:121:005 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right
           hand.

19:121:006 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

19:121:007 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve
           thy soul.

19:121:008 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from
           this time forth, and even for evermore.

19:122:001 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of
           the LORD.

19:122:002 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

19:122:003 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

19:122:004 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the
           testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

19:122:005 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the
           house of David.

19:122:006 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love
           thee.

19:122:007 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

19:122:008 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace
           be within thee.

19:122:009 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

19:123:001 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the
           heavens.

19:123:002 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their
           masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her
           mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that
           he have mercy upon us.

19:123:003 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are
           exceedingly filled with contempt.

19:123:004 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that
           are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

19:124:001 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may
           Israel say;

19:124:002 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose
           up against us:

19:124:003 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
           kindled against us:

19:124:004 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over
           our soul:

19:124:005 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

19:124:006 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their
           teeth.

19:124:007 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
           the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

19:124:008 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
           earth.

19:125:001 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which
           cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

19:125:002 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is
           round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

19:125:003 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the
           righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
           iniquity.

19:125:004 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are
           upright in their hearts.

19:125:005 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD
           shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace
           shall be upon Israel.

19:126:001 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like
           them that dream.

19:126:002 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with
           singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done
           great things for them.

19:126:003 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

19:126:004 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

19:126:005 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

19:126:006 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
           doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
           him.

19:127:001 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that
           build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh
           but in vain.

19:127:002 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat
           the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

19:127:003 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the
           womb is his reward.

19:127:004 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of
           the youth.

19:127:005 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall
           not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the
           gate.

19:128:001 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in
           his ways.

19:128:002 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou
           be, and it shall be well with thee.

19:128:003 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine
           house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

19:128:004 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the
           LORD.

19:128:005 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the
           good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

19:128:006 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon
           Israel.

19:129:001 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel
           now say:

19:129:002 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they
           have not prevailed against me.

19:129:003 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

19:129:004 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the
           wicked.

19:129:005 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

19:129:006 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth
           afore it groweth up:

19:129:007 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth
           sheaves his bosom.

19:129:008 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be
           upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

19:130:001 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

19:130:002 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice
           of my supplications.

19:130:003 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall
           stand?

19:130:004 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be
           feared.

19:130:005 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I
           hope.

19:130:006 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the
           morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

19:130:007 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy,
           and with him is plenteous redemption.

19:130:008 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

19:131:001 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do
           I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for
           me.

19:131:002 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is
           weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

19:131:003 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

19:132:001 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

19:132:002 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of
           Jacob;

19:132:003 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go
           up into my bed;

19:132:004 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine
           eyelids,

19:132:005 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the
           mighty God of Jacob.

19:132:006 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of
           the wood.

19:132:007 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his
           footstool.

19:132:008 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy
           strength.

19:132:009 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy
           saints shout for joy.

19:132:010 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine
           anointed.

19:132:011 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from
           it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

19:132:012 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I
           shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy
           throne for evermore.

19:132:013 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his
           habitation.

19:132:014 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have
           desired it.

19:132:015 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor
           with bread.

19:132:016 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints
           shall shout aloud for joy.

19:132:017 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a
           lamp for mine anointed.

19:132:018 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall
           his crown flourish.

19:133:001 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
           together in unity!

19:133:002 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down
           upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the
           skirts of his garments;

19:133:003 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the
           mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing,
           even life for evermore.

19:134:001 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which
           by night stand in the house of the LORD.

19:134:002 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

19:134:003 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

19:135:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise
           him, O ye servants of the LORD.

19:135:002 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the
           house of our God.

19:135:003 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his
           name; for it is pleasant.

19:135:004 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for
           his peculiar treasure.

19:135:005 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above
           all gods.

19:135:006 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in
           earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

19:135:007 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
           he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of
           his treasuries.

19:135:008 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

19:135:009 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,
           upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

19:135:010 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

19:135:011 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the
           kingdoms of Canaan:

19:135:012 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel
           his people.

19:135:013 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,
           throughout all generations.

19:135:014 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
           concerning his servants.

19:135:015 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of
           men's hands.

19:135:016 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they
           see not;

19:135:017 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath
           in their mouths.

19:135:018 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that
           trusteth in them.

19:135:019 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of
           Aaron:

19:135:020 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless
           the LORD.

19:135:021 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem.
           Praise ye the LORD.

19:136:001 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy
           endureth for ever.

19:136:002 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for
           ever.

19:136:003 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for
           ever.

19:136:004 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:136:005 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:136:006 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his
           mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:007 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for
           ever:

19:136:008 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:009 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:136:010 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy
           endureth for ever:

19:136:011 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth
           for ever:

19:136:012 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his
           mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:013 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy
           endureth for ever:

19:136:014 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy
           endureth for ever:

19:136:015 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his
           mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:016 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his
           mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:017 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for
           ever:

19:136:018 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:019 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:020 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:

19:136:021 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth
           for ever:

19:136:022 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy
           endureth for ever.

19:136:023 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth
           for ever:

19:136:024 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:136:025 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

19:136:026 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth
           for ever.

19:137:001 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept,
           when we remembered Zion.

19:137:002 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

19:137:003 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a
           song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
           Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

19:137:004 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

19:137:005 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her
           cunning.

19:137:006 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of
           my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

19:137:007 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of
           Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation
           thereof.

19:137:008 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he
           be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

19:137:009 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
           against the stones.

19:138:001 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I
           sing praise unto thee.

19:138:002 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for
           thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified
           thy word above all thy name.

19:138:003 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst
           me with strength in my soul.

19:138:004 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when
           they hear the words of thy mouth.

19:138:005 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the
           glory of the LORD.

19:138:006 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly:
           but the proud he knoweth afar off.

19:138:007 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me:
           thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine
           enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

19:138:008 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O
           LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own
           hands.

19:139:001 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

19:139:002 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou
           understandest my thought afar off.

19:139:003 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted
           with all my ways.

19:139:004 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou
           knowest it altogether.

19:139:005 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon
           me.

19:139:006 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot
           attain unto it.

19:139:007 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee
           from thy presence?

19:139:008 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed
           in hell, behold, thou art there.

19:139:009 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost
           parts of the sea;

19:139:010 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall
           hold me.

19:139:011 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night
           shall be light about me.

19:139:012 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth
           as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

19:139:013 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my
           mother's womb.

19:139:014 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
           marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

19:139:015 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret,
           and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

19:139:016 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in
           thy book all my members were written, which in continuance
           were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

19:139:017 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great
           is the sum of them!

19:139:018 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
           when I awake, I am still with thee.

19:139:019 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me
           therefore, ye bloody men.

19:139:020 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take
           thy name in vain.

19:139:021 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I
           grieved with those that rise up against thee?

19:139:022 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

19:139:023 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
           thoughts:

19:139:024 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the
           way everlasting.

19:140:001 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the
           violent man;

19:140:002 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they
           gathered together for war.

19:140:003 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders'
           poison is under their lips. Selah.

19:140:004 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me
           from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my
           goings.

19:140:005 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread
           a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

19:140:006 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my
           supplications, O LORD.

19:140:007 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast
           covered my head in the day of battle.

19:140:008 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his
           wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

19:140:009 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the
           mischief of their own lips cover them.

19:140:010 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the
           fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

19:140:011 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil
           shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

19:140:012 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
           and the right of the poor.

19:140:013 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the
           upright shall dwell in thy presence.

19:141:001 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my
           voice, when I cry unto thee.

19:141:002 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the
           lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

19:141:003 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my
           lips.

19:141:004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked
           works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their
           dainties.

19:141:005 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let
           him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not
           break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their
           calamities.

19:141:006 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall
           hear my words; for they are sweet.

19:141:007 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
           cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

19:141:008 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my
           trust; leave not my soul destitute.

19:141:009 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the
           gins of the workers of iniquity.

19:141:010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal
           escape.

19:142:001 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the
           LORD did I make my supplication.

19:142:002 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my
           trouble.

19:142:003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my
           path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a
           snare for me.

19:142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man
           that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my
           soul.

19:142:005 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my
           portion in the land of the living.

19:142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from
           my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

19:142:007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the
           righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal
           bountifully with me.

19:143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy
           faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

19:143:002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight
           shall no man living be justified.

19:143:003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life
           down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as
           those that have been long dead.

19:143:004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within
           me is desolate.

19:143:005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I
           muse on the work of thy hands.

19:143:006 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after
           thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

19:143:007 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face
           from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

19:143:008 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.

19:143:009 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to
           hide me.

19:143:010 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is
           good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

19:143:011 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy
           righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

19:143:012 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them
           that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

19:144:001 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to
           war, and my fingers to fight:

19:144:002 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer;
           my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people
           under me.

19:144:003 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the
           son of man, that thou makest account of him!

19:144:004 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth
           away.

19:144:005 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains,
           and they shall smoke.

19:144:006 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine
           arrows, and destroy them.

19:144:007 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of
           great waters, from the hand of strange children;

19:144:008 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right
           hand of falsehood.

19:144:009 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and
           an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

19:144:010 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth
           David his servant from the hurtful sword.

19:144:011 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,
           whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right
           hand of falsehood:

19:144:012 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that
           our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the
           similitude of a palace:

19:144:013 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store:
           that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in
           our streets:

19:144:014 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no
           breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in
           our streets.

19:144:015 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is
           that people, whose God is the LORD.

19:145:001 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name
           for ever and ever.

19:145:002 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for
           ever and ever.

19:145:003 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his
           greatness is unsearchable.

19:145:004 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall
           declare thy mighty acts.

19:145:005 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy
           wondrous works.

19:145:006 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I
           will declare thy greatness.

19:145:007 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness,
           and shall sing of thy righteousness.

19:145:008 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger,
           and of great mercy.

19:145:009 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all
           his works.

19:145:010 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall
           bless thee.

19:145:011 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy
           power;

19:145:012 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the
           glorious majesty of his kingdom.

19:145:013 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion
           endureth throughout all generations.

19:145:014 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those
           that be bowed down.

19:145:015 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their
           meat in due season.

19:145:016 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every
           living thing.

19:145:017 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his
           works.

19:145:018 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that
           call upon him in truth.

19:145:019 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will
           hear their cry, and will save them.

19:145:020 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked
           will he destroy.

19:145:021 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh
           bless his holy name for ever and ever.

19:146:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

19:146:002 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto
           my God while I have any being.

19:146:003 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom
           there is no help.

19:146:004 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that
           very day his thoughts perish.

19:146:005 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose
           hope is in the LORD his God:

19:146:006 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
           is: which keepeth truth for ever:

19:146:007 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food
           to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

19:146:008 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them
           that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

19:146:009 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless
           and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

19:146:010 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all
           generations. Praise ye the LORD.

19:147:001 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our
           God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

19:147:002 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the
           outcasts of Israel.

19:147:003 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

19:147:004 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by
           their names.

19:147:005 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is
           infinite.

19:147:006 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to
           the ground.

19:147:007 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the
           harp unto our God:

19:147:008 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for
           the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

19:147:009 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which
           cry.

19:147:010 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not
           pleasure in the legs of a man.

19:147:011 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that
           hope in his mercy.

19:147:012 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

19:147:013 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath
           blessed thy children within thee.

19:147:014 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the
           finest of the wheat.

19:147:015 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth
           very swiftly.

19:147:016 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like
           ashes.

19:147:017 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before
           his cold?

19:147:018 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind
           to blow, and the waters flow.

19:147:019 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments
           unto Israel.

19:147:020 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his
           judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

19:148:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens:
           praise him in the heights.

19:148:002 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

19:148:003 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of
           light.

19:148:004 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above
           the heavens.

19:148:005 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and
           they were created.

19:148:006 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a
           decree which shall not pass.

19:148:007 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

19:148:008 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his
           word:

19:148:009 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

19:148:010 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:

19:148:011 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of
           the earth:

19:148:012 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:

19:148:013 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is
           excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

19:148:014 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his
           saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto
           him. Praise ye the LORD.

19:149:001 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his
           praise in the congregation of saints.

19:149:002 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of
           Zion be joyful in their King.

19:149:003 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises
           unto him with the timbrel and harp.

19:149:004 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify
           the meek with salvation.

19:149:005 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon
           their beds.

19:149:006 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged
           sword in their hand;

19:149:007 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon
           the people;

19:149:008 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
           of iron;

19:149:009 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have
           all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

19:150:001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in
           the firmament of his power.

19:150:002 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his
           excellent greatness.

19:150:003 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the
           psaltery and harp.

19:150:004 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with
           stringed instruments and organs.

19:150:005 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high
           sounding cymbals.

19:150:006 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye
           the LORD.

****** This file should be named bib1910h.htm or bib1910h.zip *******

Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, bib1911h.htm

This eBook was produced by David Widger
Additional credits are noted in the header.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

Book 23        Isaiah

23:001:001 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning
           Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and
           Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

23:001:002 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath
           spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they
           have rebelled against me.

23:001:003 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but
           Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

23:001:004 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of
           evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken
           the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto
           anger, they are gone away backward.

23:001:005 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and
           more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

23:001:006 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no
           soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying
           sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither
           mollified with ointment.

23:001:007 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire:
           your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is
           desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

23:001:008 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard,
           as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

23:001:009 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small
           remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been
           like unto Gomorrah.

23:001:010 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto
           the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

23:001:011 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
           saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and
           the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of
           bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

23:001:012 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at
           your hand, to tread my courts?

23:001:013 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto
           me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I
           cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

23:001:014 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they
           are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

23:001:015 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes
           from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear:
           your hands are full of blood.

23:001:016 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings
           from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

23:001:017 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge
           the fatherless, plead for the widow.

23:001:018 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though
           your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
           though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

23:001:019 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
           land:

23:001:020 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the
           sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

23:001:021 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of
           judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

23:001:022 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23:001:023 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every
           one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not
           the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto
           them.

23:001:024 Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of
           Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me
           of mine enemies:

23:001:025 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy
           dross, and take away all thy tin:

23:001:026 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy
           counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be
           called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

23:001:027 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with
           righteousness.

23:001:028 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners
           shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be
           consumed.

23:001:029 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired,
           and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have
           chosen.

23:001:030 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden
           that hath no water.

23:001:031 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a
           spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall
           quench them.

23:002:001 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
           Jerusalem.

23:002:002 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain
           of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the
           mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all
           nations shall flow unto it.

23:002:003 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to
           the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob;
           and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his
           paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of
           the LORD from Jerusalem.

23:002:004 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
           people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and
           their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword
           against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

23:002:005 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the
           LORD.

23:002:006 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,
           because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers
           like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the
           children of strangers.

23:002:007 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there
           any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,
           neither is there any end of their chariots:

23:002:008 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of
           their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

23:002:009 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth
           himself: therefore forgive them not.

23:002:010 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of
           the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

23:002:011 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness
           of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be
           exalted in that day.

23:002:012 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that
           is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and
           he shall be brought low:

23:002:013 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted
           up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

23:002:014 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that
           are lifted up,

23:002:015 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

23:002:016 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant
           pictures.

23:002:017 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
           haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall
           be exalted in that day.

23:002:018 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

23:002:019 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the
           caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of
           his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

23:002:020 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his
           idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to
           worship, to the moles and to the bats;

23:002:021 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the
           ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
           majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

23:002:022 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for
           wherein is he to be accounted of?

23:003:001 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from
           Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole
           stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.

23:003:002 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the
           prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

23:003:003 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the
           counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent
           orator.

23:003:004 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall
           rule over them.

23:003:005 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and
           every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself
           proudly against the ancient, and the base against the
           honourable.

23:003:006 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his
           father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let
           this ruin be under thy hand:

23:003:007 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer;
           for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a
           ruler of the people.

23:003:008 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their
           tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the
           eyes of his glory.

23:003:009 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and
           they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto
           their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

23:003:010 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for
           they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

23:003:011 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward
           of his hands shall be given him.

23:003:012 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women
           rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee
           to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

23:003:013 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the
           people.

23:003:014 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his
           people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the
           vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

23:003:015 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the
           faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

23:003:016 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are
           haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes,
           walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with
           their feet:

23:003:017 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the
           head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover
           their secret parts.

23:003:018 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their
           tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and
           their round tires like the moon,

23:003:019 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

23:003:020 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands,
           and the tablets, and the earrings,

23:003:021 The rings, and nose jewels,

23:003:022 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the
           wimples, and the crisping pins,

23:003:023 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

23:003:024 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there
           shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of
           well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding
           of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

23:003:025 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

23:003:026 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate
           shall sit upon the ground.

23:004:001 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man,
           saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel:
           only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

23:004:002 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and
           glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and
           comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

23:004:003 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and
           he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even
           every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

23:004:004 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the
           daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of
           Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment,
           and by the spirit of burning.

23:004:005 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount
           Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and
           the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory
           shall be a defence.

23:004:006 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time
           from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert
           from storm and from rain.

23:005:001 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved
           touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a
           very fruitful hill:

23:005:002 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and
           planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the
           midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked
           that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild
           grapes.

23:005:003 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge,
           I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

23:005:004 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not
           done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring
           forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

23:005:005 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard:
           I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up;
           and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

23:005:006 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged;
           but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command
           the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

23:005:007 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel,
           and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for
           judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold
           a cry.

23:005:008 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to
           field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone
           in the midst of the earth!

23:005:009 In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses
           shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

23:005:010 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed
           of an homer shall yield an ephah.

23:005:011 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may
           follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine
           inflame them!

23:005:012 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine,
           are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD,
           neither consider the operation of his hands.

23:005:013 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have
           no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their
           multitude dried up with thirst.

23:005:014 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth
           without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and
           their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

23:005:015 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man
           shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

23:005:016 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God
           that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

23:005:017 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste
           places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

23:005:018 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin
           as it were with a cart rope:

23:005:019 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may
           see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw
           nigh and come, that we may know it!

23:005:020 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
           darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter
           for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

23:005:021 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
           their own sight!

23:005:022 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of
           strength to mingle strong drink:

23:005:023 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the
           righteousness of the righteous from him!

23:005:024 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame
           consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and
           their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away
           the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the
           Holy One of Israel.

23:005:025 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people,
           and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath
           smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases
           were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger
           is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:005:026 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and
           will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold,
           they shall come with speed swiftly:

23:005:027 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber
           nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed,
           nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

23:005:028 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses'
           hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a
           whirlwind:

23:005:029 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young
           lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and
           shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

23:005:030 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring
           of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and
           sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

23:006:001 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting
           upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the
           temple.

23:006:002 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with
           twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet,
           and with twain he did fly.

23:006:003 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the
           LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

23:006:004 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that
           cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

23:006:005 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of
           unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
           lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

23:006:006 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in
           his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the
           altar:

23:006:007 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched
           thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin
           purged.

23:006:008 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send,
           and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

23:006:009 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but
           understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

23:006:010 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy,
           and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear
           with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert,
           and be healed.

23:006:011 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities
           be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and
           the land be utterly desolate,

23:006:012 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great
           forsaking in the midst of the land.

23:006:013 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall
           be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in
           them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be
           the substance thereof.

23:007:001 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the
           son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria,
           and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward
           Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

23:007:002 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is
           confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the
           heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with
           the wind.

23:007:003 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,
           thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of
           the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

23:007:004 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither
           be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands,
           for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of
           Remaliah.

23:007:005 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken
           evil counsel against thee, saying,

23:007:006 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a
           breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even
           the son of Tabeal:

23:007:007 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it
           come to pass.

23:007:008 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is
           Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be
           broken, that it be not a people.

23:007:009 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is
           Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be
           established.

23:007:010 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

23:007:011 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the
           depth, or in the height above.

23:007:012 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.

23:007:013 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small
           thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

23:007:014 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
           virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
           Immanuel.

23:007:015 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the
           evil, and choose the good.

23:007:016 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose
           the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of
           both her kings.

23:007:017 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon
           thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that
           Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

23:007:018 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall
           hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers
           of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

23:007:019 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the
           desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all
           thorns, and upon all bushes.

23:007:020 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is
           hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of
           Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also
           consume the beard.

23:007:021 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall
           nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

23:007:022 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they
           shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall
           every one eat that is left in the land.

23:007:023 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall
           be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand
           silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

23:007:024 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all
           the land shall become briers and thorns.

23:007:025 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there
           shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it
           shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading
           of lesser cattle.

23:008:001 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and
           write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

23:008:002 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the
           priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

23:008:003 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a
           son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name
           Mahershalalhashbaz.

23:008:004 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father,
           and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria
           shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

23:008:005 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

23:008:006 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that
           go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

23:008:007 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the
           waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of
           Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his
           channels, and go over all his banks:

23:008:008 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go
           over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out
           of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

23:008:009 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in
           pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird
           yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves,
           and ye shall be broken in pieces.

23:008:010 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the
           word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

23:008:011 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and
           instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this
           people, saying,

23:008:012 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people
           shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be
           afraid.

23:008:013 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear,
           and let him be your dread.

23:008:014 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling
           and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a
           gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

23:008:015 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken,
           and be snared, and be taken.

23:008:016 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

23:008:017 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the
           house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

23:008:018 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for
           signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which
           dwelleth in mount Zion.

23:008:019 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have
           familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:
           should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the
           dead?

23:008:020 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
           to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

23:008:021 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and
           it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they
           shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and
           look upward.

23:008:022 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and
           darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to
           darkness.

23:009:001 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her
           vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of
           Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more
           grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
           in Galilee of the nations.

23:009:002 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
           they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them
           hath the light shined.

23:009:003 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy:
           they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as
           men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

23:009:004 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of
           his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of
           Midian.

23:009:005 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and
           garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and
           fuel of fire.

23:009:006 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
           government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
           called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
           Father, The Prince of Peace.

23:009:007 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no
           end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order
           it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from
           henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will
           perform this.

23:009:008 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon
           Israel.

23:009:009 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant
           of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

23:009:010 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn
           stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them
           into cedars.

23:009:011 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
           against him, and join his enemies together;

23:009:012 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall
           devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not
           turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:009:013 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither
           do they seek the LORD of hosts.

23:009:014 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail,
           branch and rush, in one day.

23:009:015 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet
           that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

23:009:016 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they
           that are led of them are destroyed.

23:009:017 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men,
           neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for
           every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth
           speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
           his hand is stretched out still.

23:009:018 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers
           and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest,
           and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

23:009:019 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened,
           and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall
           spare his brother.

23:009:020 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he
           shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied:
           they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

23:009:021 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together
           shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned
           away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:010:001 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write
           grievousness which they have prescribed;

23:010:002 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the
           right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their
           prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

23:010:003 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the
           desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for
           help? and where will ye leave your glory?

23:010:004 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they
           shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not
           turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

23:010:005 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand
           is mine indignation.

23:010:006 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against
           the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the
           spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the
           mire of the streets.

23:010:007 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so;
           but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a
           few.

23:010:008 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

23:010:009 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not
           Samaria as Damascus?

23:010:010 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
           graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

23:010:011 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do
           to Jerusalem and her idols?

23:010:012 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath
           performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I
           will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of
           Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

23:010:013 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and
           by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds
           of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put
           down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

23:010:014 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and
           as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the
           earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the
           mouth, or peeped.

23:010:015 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
           or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?
           as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it
           up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no
           wood.

23:010:016 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his
           fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a
           burning like the burning of a fire.

23:010:017 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One
           for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his
           briers in one day;

23:010:018 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful
           field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a
           standard-bearer fainteth.

23:010:019 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a
           child may write them.

23:010:020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of
           Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall
           no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay
           upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

23:010:021 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the
           mighty God.

23:010:022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a
           remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall
           overflow with righteousness.

23:010:023 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even
           determined, in the midst of all the land.

23:010:024 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that
           dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall
           smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against
           thee, after the manner of Egypt.

23:010:025 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
           and mine anger in their destruction.

23:010:026 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
           according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and
           as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the
           manner of Egypt.

23:010:027 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall
           be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy
           neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
           anointing.

23:010:028 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he
           hath laid up his carriages:

23:010:029 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their
           lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

23:010:030 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard
           unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

23:010:031 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather
           themselves to flee.

23:010:032 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his
           hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of
           Jerusalem.

23:010:033 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with
           terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and
           the haughty shall be humbled.

23:010:034 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
           and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

23:011:001 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and
           a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

23:011:002 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
           wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
           spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

23:011:003 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the
           LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
           neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

23:011:004 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove
           with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the
           earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his
           lips shall he slay the wicked.

23:011:005 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
           faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

23:011:006 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall
           lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the
           fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

23:011:007 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall
           lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

23:011:008 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and
           the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

23:011:009 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for
           the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the
           waters cover the sea.

23:011:010 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall
           stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles
           seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

23:011:011 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set
           his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his
           people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and
           from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar,
           and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

23:011:012 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall
           assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the
           dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

23:011:013 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of
           Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and
           Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

23:011:014 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines
           toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together:
           they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children
           of Ammon shall obey them.

23:011:015 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian
           sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the
           river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men
           go over dryshod.

23:011:016 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people,
           which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in
           the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

23:012:001 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee:
           though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away,
           and thou comfortedst me.

23:012:002 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid:
           for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is
           become my salvation.

23:012:003 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
           salvation.

23:012:004 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his
           name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that
           his name is exalted.

23:012:005 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is
           known in all the earth.

23:012:006 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the
           Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

23:013:001 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

23:013:002 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice
           unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of
           the nobles.

23:013:003 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my
           mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my
           highness.

23:013:004 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great
           people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered
           together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

23:013:005 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the
           LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole
           land.

23:013:006 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as
           a destruction from the Almighty.

23:013:007 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart
           shall melt:

23:013:008 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of
           them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they
           shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as
           flames.

23:013:009 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and
           fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy
           the sinners thereof out of it.

23:013:010 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
           not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
           forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

23:013:011 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for
           their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to
           cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

23:013:012 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man
           than the golden wedge of Ophir.

23:013:013 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove
           out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in
           the day of his fierce anger.

23:013:014 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man
           taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and
           flee every one into his own land.

23:013:015 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one
           that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

23:013:016 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their
           eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

23:013:017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not
           regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

23:013:018 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they
           shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall
           not spare children.

23:013:019 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the
           Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and
           Gomorrah.

23:013:020 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from
           generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent
           there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

23:013:021 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their
           houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall
           dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

23:013:022 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate
           houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is
           near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

23:014:001 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose
           Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers
           shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house
           of Jacob.

23:014:002 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place:
           and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the
           LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them
           captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over
           their oppressors.

23:014:003 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give
           thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the
           hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

23:014:004 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of
           Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden
           city ceased!

23:014:005 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre
           of the rulers.

23:014:006 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he
           that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none
           hindereth.

23:014:007 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth
           into singing.

23:014:008 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon,
           saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against
           us.

23:014:009 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy
           coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief
           ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all
           the kings of the nations.

23:014:010 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become
           weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

23:014:011 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy
           viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover
           thee.

23:014:012 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
           morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
           weaken the nations!

23:014:013 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven,
           I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also
           upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

23:014:014 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
           the most High.

23:014:015 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
           pit.

23:014:016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
           thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
           that did shake kingdoms;

23:014:017 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
           thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

23:014:018 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
           every one in his own house.

23:014:019 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,
           and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through
           with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a
           carcase trodden under feet.

23:014:020 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou
           hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of
           evildoers shall never be renowned.

23:014:021 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their
           fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill
           the face of the world with cities.

23:014:022 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and
           cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and
           nephew, saith the LORD.

23:014:023 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of
           water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
           saith the LORD of hosts.

23:014:024 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have
           thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so
           shall it stand:

23:014:025 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my
           mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart
           from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

23:014:026 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and
           this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

23:014:027 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul
           it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

23:014:028 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

23:014:029 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that
           smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come
           forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying
           serpent.

23:014:030 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall
           lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and
           he shall slay thy remnant.

23:014:031 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art
           dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and
           none shall be alone in his appointed times.

23:014:032 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That
           the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall
           trust in it.

23:015:001 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid
           waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of
           Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;

23:015:002 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to
           weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their
           heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.

23:015:003 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on
           the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one
           shall howl, weeping abundantly.

23:015:004 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard
           even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall
           cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.

23:015:005 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto
           Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of
           Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of
           Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

23:015:006 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is
           withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

23:015:007 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they
           have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the
           willows.

23:015:008 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
           howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto
           Beerelim.

23:015:009 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will
           bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab,
           and upon the remnant of the land.

23:016:001 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the
           wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

23:016:002 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the
           nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

23:016:003 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night
           in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him
           that wandereth.

23:016:004 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to
           them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at
           an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out
           of the land.

23:016:005 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit
           upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and
           seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

23:016:006 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of
           his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies
           shall not be so.

23:016:007 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for
           the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are
           stricken.

23:016:008 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah:
           the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants
           thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through
           the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone
           over the sea.

23:016:009 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of
           Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and
           Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy
           harvest is fallen.

23:016:010 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful
           field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither
           shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine
           in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

23:016:011 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and
           mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

23:016:012 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary
           on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to
           pray; but he shall not prevail.

23:016:013 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab
           since that time.

23:016:014 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as
           the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be
           contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant
           shall be very small and feeble.

23:017:001 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from
           being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

23:017:002 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks,
           which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

23:017:003 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom
           from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the
           glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

23:017:004 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob
           shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax
           lean.

23:017:005 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and
           reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that
           gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

23:017:006 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an
           olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost
           bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof,
           saith the LORD God of Israel.

23:017:007 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall
           have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

23:017:008 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands,
           neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either
           the groves, or the images.

23:017:009 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough,
           and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the
           children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

23:017:010 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast
           not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt
           thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange
           slips:

23:017:011 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the
           morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest
           shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

23:017:012 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like
           the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that
           make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

23:017:013 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but
           God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall
           be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and
           like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

23:017:014 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he
           is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot
           of them that rob us.

23:018:001 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the
           rivers of Ethiopia:

23:018:002 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of
           bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to
           a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their
           beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose
           land the rivers have spoiled!

23:018:003 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth,
           see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and
           when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

23:018:004 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will
           consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs,
           and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

23:018:005 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour
           grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the
           sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the
           branches.

23:018:006 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains,
           and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer
           upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon
           them.

23:018:007 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of
           hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people
           terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
           trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the
           place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

23:019:001 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift
           cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall
           be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in
           the midst of it.

23:019:002 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they
           shall fight every one against his brother, and every one
           against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against
           kingdom.

23:019:003 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I
           will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the
           idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar
           spirits, and to the wizards.

23:019:004 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel
           lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord,
           the LORD of hosts.

23:019:005 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be
           wasted and dried up.

23:019:006 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of
           defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags
           shall wither.

23:019:007 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and
           every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away,
           and be no more.

23:019:008 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle
           into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon
           the waters shall languish.

23:019:009 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave
           networks, shall be confounded.

23:019:010 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that
           make sluices and ponds for fish.

23:019:011 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise
           counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto
           Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

23:019:012 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee
           now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed
           upon Egypt.

23:019:013 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are
           deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the
           stay of the tribes thereof.

23:019:014 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof:
           and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a
           drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

23:019:015 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or
           tail, branch or rush, may do.

23:019:016 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be
           afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD
           of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

23:019:017 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one
           that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself,
           because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath
           determined against it.

23:019:018 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the
           language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall
           be called, The city of destruction.

23:019:019 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst
           of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to
           the LORD.

23:019:020 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of
           hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD
           because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour,
           and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

23:019:021 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall
           know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and
           oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform
           it.

23:019:022 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it:
           and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be
           intreated of them, and shall heal them.

23:019:023 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,
           and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into
           Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

23:019:024 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with
           Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

23:019:025 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt
           my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine
           inheritance.

23:020:001 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the
           king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took
           it;

23:020:002 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz,
           saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put
           off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and
           barefoot.

23:020:003 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked
           and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and
           upon Ethiopia;

23:020:004 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians
           prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked
           and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame
           of Egypt.

23:020:005 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their
           expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

23:020:006 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold,
           such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be
           delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

23:021:001 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the
           south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a
           terrible land.

23:021:002 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer
           dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O
           Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to
           cease.

23:021:003 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold
           upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed
           down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

23:021:004 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my
           pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

23:021:005 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise,
           ye princes, and anoint the shield.

23:021:006 For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let
           him declare what he seeth.

23:021:007 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of
           asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently
           with much heed:

23:021:008 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the
           watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole
           nights:

23:021:009 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of
           horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is
           fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken
           unto the ground.

23:021:010 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have
           heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared
           unto you.

23:021:011 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman,
           what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

23:021:012 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if
           ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

23:021:013 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye
           lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

23:021:014 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that
           was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

23:021:015 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from
           the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

23:021:016 For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according
           to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall
           fail:

23:021:017 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of
           the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God
           of Israel hath spoken it.

23:022:001 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that
           thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

23:022:002 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city:
           thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in
           battle.

23:022:003 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the
           archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which
           have fled from far.

23:022:004 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly,
           labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the
           daughter of my people.

23:022:005 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of
           perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision,
           breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

23:022:006 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen,
           and Kir uncovered the shield.

23:022:007 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be
           full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in
           array at the gate.

23:022:008 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look
           in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

23:022:009 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they
           are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower
           pool.

23:022:010 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
           have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

23:022:011 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of
           the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof,
           neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

23:022:012 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and
           to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

23:022:013 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep,
           eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to
           morrow we shall die.

23:022:014 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely
           this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith
           the Lord GOD of hosts.

23:022:015 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this
           treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

23:022:016 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast
           hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a
           sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself
           in a rock?

23:022:017 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity,
           and will surely cover thee.

23:022:018 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a
           large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of
           thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

23:022:019 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state
           shall he pull thee down.

23:022:020 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my
           servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

23:022:021 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with
           thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand:
           and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
           to the house of Judah.

23:022:022 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his
           shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall
           shut, and none shall open.

23:022:023 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall
           be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

23:022:024 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's
           house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small
           quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of
           flagons.

23:022:025 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is
           fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and
           fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for
           the LORD hath spoken it.

23:023:001 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid
           waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the
           land of Chittim it is revealed to them.

23:023:002 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants
           of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

23:023:003 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the
           river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

23:023:004 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the
           strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth
           children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up
           virgins.

23:023:005 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely
           pained at the report of Tyre.

23:023:006 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

23:023:007 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days?
           her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

23:023:008 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city,
           whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the
           honourable of the earth?

23:023:009 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all
           glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the
           earth.

23:023:010 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish:
           there is no more strength.

23:023:011 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms:
           the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city,
           to destroy the strong holds thereof.

23:023:012 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed
           virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there
           also shalt thou have no rest.

23:023:013 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till
           the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness:
           they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces
           thereof; and he brought it to ruin.

23:023:014 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

23:023:015 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be
           forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king:
           after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

23:023:016 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been
           forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou
           mayest be remembered.

23:023:017 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that
           the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and
           shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world
           upon the face of the earth.

23:023:018 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the
           LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her
           merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to
           eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

23:024:001 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,
           and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
           inhabitants thereof.

23:024:002 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as
           with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so
           with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as
           with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of
           usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

23:024:003 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for
           the LORD hath spoken this word.

23:024:004 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and
           fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

23:024:005 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
           because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
           ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

23:024:006 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that
           dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the
           earth are burned, and few men left.

23:024:007 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the
           merryhearted do sigh.

23:024:008 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice
           endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

23:024:009 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be
           bitter to them that drink it.

23:024:010 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up,
           that no man may come in.

23:024:011 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is
           darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

23:024:012 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with
           destruction.

23:024:013 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the
           people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as
           the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

23:024:014 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the
           majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

23:024:015 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of
           the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

23:024:016 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even
           glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness,
           woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously;
           yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

23:024:017 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant
           of the earth.

23:024:018 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise
           of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out
           of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the
           windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the
           earth do shake.

23:024:019 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean
           dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

23:024:020 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be
           removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be
           heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

23:024:021 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall
           punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the
           kings of the earth upon the earth.

23:024:022 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered
           in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many
           days shall they be visited.

23:024:023 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when
           the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem,
           and before his ancients gloriously.

23:025:001 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy
           name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old
           are faithfulness and truth.

23:025:002 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a
           ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be
           built.

23:025:003 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of
           the terrible nations shall fear thee.

23:025:004 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the
           needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from
           the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm
           against the wall.

23:025:005 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a
           dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the
           branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

23:025:006 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all
           people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of
           fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

23:025:007 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering
           cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all
           nations.

23:025:008 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will
           wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his
           people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD
           hath spoken it.

23:025:009 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have
           waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have
           waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

23:025:010 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab
           shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down
           for the dunghill.

23:025:011 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as
           he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he
           shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their
           hands.

23:025:012 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring
           down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

23:026:001 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We
           have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and
           bulwarks.

23:026:002 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the
           truth may enter in.

23:026:003 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
           thee: because he trusteth in thee.

23:026:004 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is
           everlasting strength:

23:026:005 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city,
           he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he
           bringeth it even to the dust.

23:026:006 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and
           the steps of the needy.

23:026:007 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost
           weigh the path of the just.

23:026:008 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for
           thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the
           remembrance of thee.

23:026:009 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my
           spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy
           judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will
           learn righteousness.

23:026:010 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn
           righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal
           unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

23:026:011 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they
           shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea,
           the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

23:026:012 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast
           wrought all our works in us.

23:026:013 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over
           us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

23:026:014 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they
           shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed
           them, and made all their memory to perish.

23:026:015 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased
           the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto
           all the ends of the earth.

23:026:016 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a
           prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

23:026:017 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her
           delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we
           been in thy sight, O LORD.

23:026:018 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it
           were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance
           in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world
           fallen.

23:026:019 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they
           arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is
           as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

23:026:020 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy
           doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
           until the indignation be overpast.

23:026:021 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the
           inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also
           shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

23:027:001 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword
           shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan
           that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in
           the sea.

23:027:002 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

23:027:003 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any
           hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

23:027:004 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against
           me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them
           together.

23:027:005 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace
           with me; and he shall make peace with me.

23:027:006 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel
           shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with
           fruit.

23:027:007 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is
           he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by
           him?

23:027:008 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it:
           he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

23:027:009 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and
           this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all
           the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in
           sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

23:027:010 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation
           forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf
           feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches
           thereof.

23:027:011 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken
           off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people
           of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have
           mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no
           favour.

23:027:012 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall
           beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of
           Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of
           Israel.

23:027:013 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet
           shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish
           in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt,
           and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

23:028:001 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose
           glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of
           the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

23:028:002 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a
           tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty
           waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the
           hand.

23:028:003 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden
           under feet:

23:028:004 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat
           valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit
           before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth,
           while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

23:028:005 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory,
           and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

23:028:006 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment,
           and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

23:028:007 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong
           drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have
           erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine,
           they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in
           vision, they stumble in judgment.

23:028:008 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there
           is no place clean.

23:028:009 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
           understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and
           drawn from the breasts.

23:028:010 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line
           upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

23:028:011 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to
           this people.

23:028:012 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the
           weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not
           hear.

23:028:013 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,
           precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a
           little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall
           backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

23:028:014 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that
           rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

23:028:015 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and
           with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge
           shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have
           made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid
           ourselves:

23:028:016 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a
           foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a
           sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

23:028:017 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the
           plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and
           the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

23:028:018 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your
           agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing
           scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by
           it.

23:028:019 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for
           morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:
           and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

23:028:020 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on
           it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in
           it.

23:028:021 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be
           wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his
           strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

23:028:022 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made
           strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a
           consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

23:028:023 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

23:028:024 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break
           the clods of his ground?

23:028:025 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast
           abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the
           principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their
           place?

23:028:026 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach
           him.

23:028:027 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument,
           neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the
           fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a
           rod.

23:028:028 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing
           it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it
           with his horsemen.

23:028:029 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is
           wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

23:029:001 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye
           year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

23:029:002 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and
           sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

23:029:003 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege
           against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against
           thee.

23:029:004 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the
           ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy
           voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of
           the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

23:029:005 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small
           dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff
           that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

23:029:006 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and
           with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and
           the flame of devouring fire.

23:029:007 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
           even all that fight against her and her munition, and that
           distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

23:029:008 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold,
           he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a
           thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he
           awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite:
           so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight
           against mount Zion.

23:029:009 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are
           drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong
           drink.

23:029:010 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
           sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your
           rulers, the seers hath he covered.

23:029:011 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a
           book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned,
           saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it
           is sealed:

23:029:012 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying,
           Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

23:029:013 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me
           with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have
           removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is
           taught by the precept of men:

23:029:014 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work
           among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for
           the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the
           understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

23:029:015 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the
           LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth
           us? and who knoweth us?

23:029:016 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as
           the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it,
           He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that
           framed it, He had no understanding?

23:029:017 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned
           into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be
           esteemed as a forest?

23:029:018 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and
           the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of
           darkness.

23:029:019 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the
           poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

23:029:020 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is
           consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

23:029:021 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for
           him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a
           thing of nought.

23:029:022 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,
           concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed,
           neither shall his face now wax pale.

23:029:023 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the
           midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the
           Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

23:029:024 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding,
           and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

23:030:001 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take
           counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but
           not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

23:030:002 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my
           mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
           and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

23:030:003 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the
           trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

23:030:004 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to
           Hanes.

23:030:005 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them,
           nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

23:030:006 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of
           trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion,
           the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their
           riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures
           upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit
           them.

23:030:007 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
           therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to
           sit still.

23:030:008 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a
           book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

23:030:009 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children
           that will not hear the law of the LORD:

23:030:010 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy
           not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things,
           prophesy deceits:

23:030:011 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the
           Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

23:030:012 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye
           despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness,
           and stay thereon:

23:030:013 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to
           fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh
           suddenly at an instant.

23:030:014 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel
           that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there
           shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire
           from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

23:030:015 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In
           returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in
           confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

23:030:016 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall
           ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall
           they that pursue you be swift.

23:030:017 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of
           five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top
           of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

23:030:018 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto
           you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy
           upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all
           they that wait for him.

23:030:019 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt
           weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice
           of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

23:030:020 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the
           water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed
           into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

23:030:021 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is
           the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and
           when ye turn to the left.

23:030:022 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of
           silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou
           shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say
           unto it, Get thee hence.

23:030:023 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow
           the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and
           it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle
           feed in large pastures.

23:030:024 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground
           shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the
           shovel and with the fan.

23:030:025 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every
           high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the
           great slaughter, when the towers fall.

23:030:026 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the
           sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light
           of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach
           of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

23:030:027 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his
           anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of
           indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

23:030:028 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the
           midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of
           vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people,
           causing them to err.

23:030:029 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is
           kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to
           come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of
           Israel.

23:030:030 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and
           shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation
           of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with
           scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

23:030:031 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten
           down, which smote with a rod.

23:030:032 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which
           the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and
           harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

23:030:033 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
           prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is
           fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of
           brimstone, doth kindle it.

23:031:001 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on
           horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in
           horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto
           the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

23:031:002 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call
           back his words: but will arise against the house of the
           evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

23:031:003 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses
           flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his
           hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen
           shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

23:031:004 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and
           the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of
           shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid
           of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so
           shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and
           for the hill thereof.

23:031:005 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem;
           defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will
           preserve it.

23:031:006 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply
           revolted.

23:031:007 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver,
           and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you
           for a sin.

23:031:008 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty
           man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but
           he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be
           discomfited.

23:031:009 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his
           princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose
           fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

23:032:001 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall
           rule in judgment.

23:032:002 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a
           covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as
           the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

23:032:003 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears
           of them that hear shall hearken.

23:032:004 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the
           tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

23:032:005 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl
           said to be bountiful.

23:032:006 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will
           work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error
           against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he
           will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

23:032:007 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked
           devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the
           needy speaketh right.

23:032:008 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things
           shall he stand.

23:032:009 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless
           daughters; give ear unto my speech.

23:032:010 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women:
           for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

23:032:011 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless
           ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon
           your loins.

23:032:012 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for
           the fruitful vine.

23:032:013 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;
           yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

23:032:014 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the
           city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for
           ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

23:032:015 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the
           wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be
           counted for a forest.

23:032:016 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness
           remain in the fruitful field.

23:032:017 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect
           of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

23:032:018 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in
           sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

23:032:019 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city
           shall be low in a low place.

23:032:020 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth
           thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

23:033:001 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and
           dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with
           thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled;
           and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they
           shall deal treacherously with thee.

23:033:002 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou
           their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of
           trouble.

23:033:003 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up
           of thyself the nations were scattered.

23:033:004 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the
           caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run
           upon them.

23:033:005 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled
           Zion with judgment and righteousness.

23:033:006 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times,
           and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his
           treasure.

23:033:007 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors
           of peace shall weep bitterly.

23:033:008 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath
           broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth
           no man.

23:033:009 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and
           hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel
           shake off their fruits.

23:033:010 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now
           will I lift up myself.

23:033:011 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your
           breath, as fire, shall devour you.

23:033:012 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut
           up shall they be burned in the fire.

23:033:013 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are
           near, acknowledge my might.

23:033:014 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the
           hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
           who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

23:033:015 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that
           despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from
           holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of
           blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

23:033:016 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the
           munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall
           be sure.

23:033:017 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold
           the land that is very far off.

23:033:018 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where
           is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

23:033:019 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper
           speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that
           thou canst not understand.

23:033:020 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall
           see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not
           be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be
           removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

23:033:021 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad
           rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars,
           neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

23:033:022 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD
           is our king; he will save us.

23:033:023 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their
           mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a
           great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

23:033:024 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that
           dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

23:034:001 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let
           the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all
           things that come forth of it.

23:034:002 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his
           fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he
           hath delivered them to the slaughter.

23:034:003 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come
           up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted
           with their blood.

23:034:004 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens
           shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall
           fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a
           falling fig from the fig tree.

23:034:005 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come
           down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to
           judgment.

23:034:006 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat
           with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the
           fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in
           Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

23:034:007 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks
           with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and
           their dust made fat with fatness.

23:034:008 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of
           recompences for the controversy of Zion.

23:034:009 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the
           dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become
           burning pitch.

23:034:010 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof
           shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall
           lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

23:034:011 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl
           also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out
           upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

23:034:012 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none
           shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

23:034:013 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles
           in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of
           dragons, and a court for owls.

23:034:014 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild
           beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow;
           the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a
           place of rest.

23:034:015 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch,
           and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be
           gathered, every one with her mate.

23:034:016 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these
           shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath
           commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

23:034:017 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided
           it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from
           generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

23:035:001 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;
           and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

23:035:002 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and
           singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the
           excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of
           the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

23:035:003 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

23:035:004 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not:
           behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a
           recompence; he will come and save you.

23:035:005 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of
           the deaf shall be unstopped.

23:035:006 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the
           dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and
           streams in the desert.

23:035:007 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty
           land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where
           each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

23:035:008 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
           called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over
           it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though
           fools, shall not err therein.

23:035:009 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up
           thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall
           walk there:

23:035:010 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion
           with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall
           obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
           away.

23:036:001 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,
           that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the
           defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

23:036:002 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to
           Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood
           by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the
           fuller's field.

23:036:003 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was
           over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son,
           the recorder.

23:036:004 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
           saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is
           this wherein thou trustest?

23:036:005 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have
           counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust,
           that thou rebellest against me?

23:036:006 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt;
           whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce
           it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

23:036:007 But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not
           he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken
           away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship
           before this altar?

23:036:008 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king
           of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou
           be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

23:036:009 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the
           least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
           chariots and for horsemen?

23:036:010 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to
           destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land,
           and destroy it.

23:036:011 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I
           pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we
           understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in
           the ears of the people that are on the wall.

23:036:012 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and
           to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men
           that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and
           drink their own piss with you?

23:036:013 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews'
           language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the
           king of Assyria.

23:036:014 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he
           shall not be able to deliver you.

23:036:015 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The
           LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered
           into the hand of the king of Assyria.

23:036:016 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria,
           Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me:
           and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig
           tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

23:036:017 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a
           land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

23:036:018 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will
           deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his
           land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

23:036:019 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of
           Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

23:036:020 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have
           delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should
           deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

23:036:021 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for
           the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

23:036:022 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the
           household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph,
           the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told
           him the words of Rabshakeh.

23:037:001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent
           his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into
           the house of the LORD.

23:037:002 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna
           the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with
           sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

23:037:003 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day
           of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children
           are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring
           forth.

23:037:004 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh,
           whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the
           living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God
           hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that
           is left.

23:037:005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

23:037:006 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master,
           Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast
           heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have
           blasphemed me.

23:037:007 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a
           rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to
           fall by the sword in his own land.

23:037:008 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
           against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from
           Lachish.

23:037:009 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is
           come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he
           sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

23:037:010 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not
           thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying,
           Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of
           Assyria.

23:037:011 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to
           all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be
           delivered?

23:037:012 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers
           have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the
           children of Eden which were in Telassar?

23:037:013 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the
           king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

23:037:014 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the
           messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house
           of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

23:037:015 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,

23:037:016 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the
           cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the
           kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

23:037:017 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD,
           and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath
           sent to reproach the living God.

23:037:018 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the
           nations, and their countries,

23:037:019 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods,
           but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they
           have destroyed them.

23:037:020 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all
           the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD,
           even thou only.

23:037:021 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus
           saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me
           against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

23:037:022 This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him;
           The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and
           laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken
           her head at thee.

23:037:023 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom
           hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?
           even against the Holy One of Israel.

23:037:024 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said,
           By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of
           the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down
           the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and
           I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of
           his Carmel.

23:037:025 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet
           have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

23:037:026 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of
           ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to
           pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into
           ruinous heaps.

23:037:027 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were
           dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field,
           and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as
           corn blasted before it be grown up.

23:037:028 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in,
           and thy rage against me.

23:037:029 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into
           mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my
           bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by
           which thou camest.

23:037:030 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year
           such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which
           springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap,
           and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

23:037:031 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall
           again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

23:037:032 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that
           escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall
           do this.

23:037:033 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria,
           He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there,
           nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

23:037:034 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and
           shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

23:037:035 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and
           for my servant David's sake.

23:037:036 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp
           of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand:
           and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were
           all dead corpses.

23:037:037 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
           returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

23:037:038 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of
           Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote
           him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia:
           and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

23:038:001 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the
           prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus
           saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die,
           and not live.

23:038:002 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto
           the LORD,

23:038:003 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have
           walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have
           done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

23:038:004 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

23:038:005 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David
           thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:
           behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

23:038:006 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the
           king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

23:038:007 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the
           LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;

23:038:008 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is
           gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So
           the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone
           down.

23:038:009 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick,
           and was recovered of his sickness:

23:038:010 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates
           of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

23:038:011 I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land
           of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants
           of the world.

23:038:012 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's
           tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off
           with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an
           end of me.

23:038:013 I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all
           my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

23:038:014 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a
           dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am
           oppressed; undertake for me.

23:038:015 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself
           hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness
           of my soul.

23:038:016 O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is
           the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to
           live.

23:038:017 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in
           love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for
           thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

23:038:018 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate
           thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy
           truth.

23:038:019 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this
           day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

23:038:020 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs
           to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the
           house of the LORD.

23:038:021 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it
           for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

23:038:022 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to
           the house of the LORD?

23:039:001 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of
           Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had
           heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

23:039:002 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of
           his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices,
           and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour,
           and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in
           his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them
           not.

23:039:003 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto
           him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?
           And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me,
           even from Babylon.

23:039:004 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah
           answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is
           nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

23:039:005 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of
           hosts:

23:039:006 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and
           that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day,
           shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the
           LORD.

23:039:007 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt
           beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the
           palace of the king of Babylon.

23:039:008 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD
           which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be
           peace and truth in my days.

23:040:001 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

23:040:002 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her
           warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for
           she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

23:040:003 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the
           way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our
           God.

23:040:004 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill
           shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and
           the rough places plain:

23:040:005 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh
           shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken
           it.

23:040:006 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh
           is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of
           the field:

23:040:007 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of
           the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

23:040:008 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our
           God shall stand for ever.

23:040:009 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high
           mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy
           voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the
           cities of Judah, Behold your God!

23:040:010 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm
           shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his
           work before him.

23:040:011 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the
           lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall
           gently lead those that are with young.

23:040:012 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and
           meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of
           the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales,
           and the hills in a balance?

23:040:013 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his
           counsellor hath taught him?

23:040:014 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught
           him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and
           shewed to him the way of understanding?

23:040:015 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted
           as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the
           isles as a very little thing.

23:040:016 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof
           sufficient for a burnt offering.

23:040:017 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to
           him less than nothing, and vanity.

23:040:018 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye
           compare unto him?

23:040:019 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith
           spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

23:040:020 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a
           tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman
           to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

23:040:021 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told
           you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the
           foundations of the earth?

23:040:022 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the
           inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out
           the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to
           dwell in:

23:040:023 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of
           the earth as vanity.

23:040:024 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown:
           yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he
           shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the
           whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

23:040:025 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the
           Holy One.

23:040:026 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these
           things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth
           them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he
           is strong in power; not one faileth.

23:040:027 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is
           hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

23:040:028 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting
           God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth
           not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his
           understanding.

23:040:029 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might
           he increaseth strength.

23:040:030 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men
           shall utterly fall:

23:040:031 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
           they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and
           not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

23:041:001 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew
           their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let
           us come near together to judgment.

23:041:002 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to
           his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over
           kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven
           stubble to his bow.

23:041:003 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he
           had not gone with his feet.

23:041:004 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the
           beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

23:041:005 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were
           afraid, drew near, and came.

23:041:006 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his
           brother, Be of good courage.

23:041:007 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that
           smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It
           is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that
           it should not be moved.

23:041:008 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen,
           the seed of Abraham my friend.

23:041:009 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called
           thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art
           my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

23:041:010 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am
           thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I
           will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

23:041:011 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be
           ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they
           that strive with thee shall perish.

23:041:012 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that
           contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as
           nothing, and as a thing of nought.

23:041:013 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto
           thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

23:041:014 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help
           thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of
           Israel.

23:041:015 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument
           having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them
           small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

23:041:016 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and
           the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in
           the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

23:041:017 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and
           their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I
           the God of Israel will not forsake them.

23:041:018 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst
           of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
           and the dry land springs of water.

23:041:019 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree,
           and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the
           fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

23:041:020 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand
           together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the
           Holy One of Israel hath created it.

23:041:021 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong
           reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

23:041:022 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let
           them shew the former things, what they be, that we may
           consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us
           things for to come.

23:041:023 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know
           that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be
           dismayed, and behold it together.

23:041:024 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an
           abomination is he that chooseth you.

23:041:025 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from
           the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall
           come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth
           clay.

23:041:026 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and
           beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is
           none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea,
           there is none that heareth your words.

23:041:027 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will
           give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

23:041:028 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there
           was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a
           word.

23:041:029 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their
           molten images are wind and confusion.

23:042:001 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul
           delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring
           forth judgment to the Gentiles.

23:042:002 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard
           in the street.

23:042:003 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall
           he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

23:042:004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
           judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

23:042:005 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
           stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that
           which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people
           upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

23:042:006 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold
           thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant
           of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

23:042:007 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the
           prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

23:042:008 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give
           to another, neither my praise to graven images.

23:042:009 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do
           I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

23:042:010 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of
           the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is
           therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

23:042:011 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice,
           the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of
           the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

23:042:012 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in
           the islands.

23:042:013 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up
           jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
           prevail against his enemies.

23:042:014 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and
           refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I
           will destroy and devour at once.

23:042:015 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their
           herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up
           the pools.

23:042:016 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will
           lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make
           darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These
           things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

23:042:017 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that
           trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are
           our gods.

23:042:018 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

23:042:019 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I
           sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the
           LORD's servant?

23:042:020 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears,
           but he heareth not.

23:042:021 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will
           magnify the law, and make it honourable.

23:042:022 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them
           snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are
           for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith,
           Restore.

23:042:023 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear
           for the time to come?

23:042:024 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not
           the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not
           walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

23:042:025 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and
           the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round
           about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not
           to heart.

23:043:001 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he
           that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed
           thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

23:043:002 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and
           through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou
           walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither
           shall the flame kindle upon thee.

23:043:003 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy
           Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for
           thee.

23:043:004 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been
           honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men
           for thee, and people for thy life.

23:043:005 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the
           east, and gather thee from the west;

23:043:006 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not
           back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends
           of the earth;

23:043:007 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created
           him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

23:043:008 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that
           have ears.

23:043:009 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people
           be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us
           former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they
           may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

23:043:010 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I
           have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand
           that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall
           there be after me.

23:043:011 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

23:043:012 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there
           was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses,
           saith the LORD, that I am God.

23:043:013 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can
           deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

23:043:014 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
           For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down
           all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the
           ships.

23:043:015 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your
           King.

23:043:016 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path
           in the mighty waters;

23:043:017 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the
           power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they
           are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

23:043:018 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things
           of old.

23:043:019 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
           shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the
           wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

23:043:020 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the
           owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in
           the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

23:043:021 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my
           praise.

23:043:022 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been
           weary of me, O Israel.

23:043:023 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt
           offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices.
           I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied
           thee with incense.

23:043:024 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast
           thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast
           made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with
           thine iniquities.

23:043:025 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine
           own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

23:043:026 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou,
           that thou mayest be justified.

23:043:027 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have
           transgressed against me.

23:043:028 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and
           have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

23:044:001 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have
           chosen:

23:044:002 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the
           womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and
           thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

23:044:003 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods
           upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and
           my blessing upon thine offspring:

23:044:004 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the
           water courses.

23:044:005 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself
           by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his
           hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

23:044:006 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the
           LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside
           me there is no God.

23:044:007 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in
           order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the
           things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto
           them.

23:044:008 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that
           time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there
           a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

23:044:009 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and
           their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their
           own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be
           ashamed.

23:044:010 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is
           profitable for nothing?

23:044:011 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen,
           they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them
           stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed
           together.

23:044:012 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and
           fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength
           of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he
           drinketh no water, and is faint.

23:044:013 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with
           a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with
           the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man,
           according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the
           house.

23:044:014 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak,
           which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the
           forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

23:044:015 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof,
           and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea,
           he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven
           image, and falleth down thereto.

23:044:016 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he
           eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he
           warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the
           fire:

23:044:017 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven
           image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and
           prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

23:044:018 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their
           eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot
           understand.

23:044:019 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge
           nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the
           fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I
           have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue
           thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a
           tree?

23:044:020 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside,
           that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie
           in my right hand?

23:044:021 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I
           have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt
           not be forgotten of me.

23:044:022 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and,
           as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed
           thee.

23:044:023 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower
           parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O
           forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed
           Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

23:044:024 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee
           from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that
           stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the
           earth by myself;

23:044:025 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners
           mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their
           knowledge foolish;

23:044:026 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the
           counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt
           be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built,
           and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

23:044:027 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

23:044:028 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all
           my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built;
           and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

23:045:001 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right
           hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will
           loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved
           gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

23:045:002 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I
           will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the
           bars of iron:

23:045:003 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden
           riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the
           LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

23:045:004 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have
           even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though
           thou hast not known me.

23:045:005 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside
           me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

23:045:006 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the
           west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there
           is none else.

23:045:007 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and
           create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

23:045:008 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down
           righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth
           salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the
           LORD have created it.

23:045:009 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd
           strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to
           him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath
           no hands?

23:045:010 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou?
           or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

23:045:011 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker,
           Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning
           the work of my hands command ye me.

23:045:012 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my
           hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have
           I commanded.

23:045:013 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all
           his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my
           captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

23:045:014 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of
           Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over
           unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after
           thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down
           unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying,
           Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no
           God.

23:045:015 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel,
           the Saviour.

23:045:016 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they
           shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

23:045:017 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting
           salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world
           without end.

23:045:018 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself
           that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he
           created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the
           LORD; and there is none else.

23:045:019 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I
           said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the
           LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

23:045:020 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are
           escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the
           wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot
           save.

23:045:021 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel
           together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath
           told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no
           God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none
           beside me.

23:045:022 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for
           I am God, and there is none else.

23:045:023 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in
           righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee
           shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

23:045:024 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and
           strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are
           incensed against him shall be ashamed.

23:045:025 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and
           shall glory.

23:046:001 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the
           beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden;
           they are a burden to the weary beast.

23:046:002 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the
           burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

23:046:003 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the
           house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which
           are carried from the womb:

23:046:004 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will
           I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry,
           and will deliver you.

23:046:005 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me,
           that we may be like?

23:046:006 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the
           balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they
           fall down, yea, they worship.

23:046:007 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him
           in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not
           remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer,
           nor save him out of his trouble.

23:046:008 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to
           mind, O ye transgressors.

23:046:009 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is
           none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

23:046:010 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times
           the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall
           stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

23:046:011 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth
           my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will
           also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

23:046:012 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from
           righteousness:

23:046:013 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my
           salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion
           for Israel my glory.

23:047:001 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon,
           sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the
           Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and
           delicate.

23:047:002 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make
           bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

23:047:003 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be
           seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a
           man.

23:047:004 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy
           One of Israel.

23:047:005 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the
           Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of
           kingdoms.

23:047:006 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance,
           and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy;
           upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

23:047:007 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou
           didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst
           remember the latter end of it.

23:047:008 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures,
           that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am,
           and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither
           shall I know the loss of children:

23:047:009 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one
           day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon
           thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries,
           and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

23:047:010 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None
           seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted
           thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else
           beside me.

23:047:011 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from
           whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou
           shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come
           upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

23:047:012 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of
           thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if
           so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest
           prevail.

23:047:013 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the
           astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,
           stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon
           thee.

23:047:014 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;
           they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:
           there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before
           it.

23:047:015 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,
           even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every
           one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

23:048:001 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name
           of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah,
           which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the
           God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

23:048:002 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves
           upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.

23:048:003 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they
           went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them
           suddenly, and they came to pass.

23:048:004 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an
           iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

23:048:005 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it
           came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine
           idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image,
           hath commanded them.

23:048:006 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I
           have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden
           things, and thou didst not know them.

23:048:007 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before
           the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say,
           Behold, I knew them.

23:048:008 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that
           time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou
           wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a
           transgressor from the womb.

23:048:009 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise
           will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

23:048:010 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have
           chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

23:048:011 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for
           how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory
           unto another.

23:048:012 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am
           the first, I also am the last.

23:048:013 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my
           right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them,
           they stand up together.

23:048:014 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath
           declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his
           pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

23:048:015 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought
           him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

23:048:016 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in
           secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am
           I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

23:048:017 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I
           am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
           leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

23:048:018 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy
           peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of
           the sea:

23:048:019 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy
           bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been
           cut off nor destroyed from before me.

23:048:020 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a
           voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the
           end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant
           Jacob.

23:048:021 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he
           caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave
           the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

23:048:022 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

23:049:001 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far;
           The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my
           mother hath he made mention of my name.

23:049:002 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of
           his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his
           quiver hath he hid me;

23:049:003 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I
           will be glorified.

23:049:004 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength
           for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the
           LORD, and my work with my God.

23:049:005 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his
           servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not
           gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and
           my God shall be my strength.

23:049:006 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
           servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the
           preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the
           Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the
           earth.

23:049:007 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,
           to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth,
           to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes
           also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and
           the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

23:049:008 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee,
           and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will
           preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to
           establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate
           heritages;

23:049:009 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that
           are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways,
           and their pastures shall be in all high places.

23:049:010 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor
           sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead
           them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

23:049:011 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall
           be exalted.

23:049:012 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the
           north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

23:049:013 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into
           singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people,
           and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

23:049:014 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath
           forgotten me.

23:049:015 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have
           compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet
           will I not forget thee.

23:049:016 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy
           walls are continually before me.

23:049:017 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that
           made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

23:049:018 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather
           themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the
           LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an
           ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

23:049:019 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy
           destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the
           inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far
           away.

23:049:020 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the
           other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait
           for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

23:049:021 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me
           these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a
           captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up
           these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

23:049:022 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to
           the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they
           shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be
           carried upon their shoulders.

23:049:023 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy
           nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face
           toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou
           shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed
           that wait for me.

23:049:024 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive
           delivered?

23:049:025 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall
           be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be
           delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with
           thee, and I will save thy children.

23:049:026 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;
           and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet
           wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour
           and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

23:050:001 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's
           divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is
           it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have
           ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother
           put away.

23:050:002 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was
           there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it
           cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my
           rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their
           fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for
           thirst.

23:050:003 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth
           their covering.

23:050:004 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I
           should know how to speak a word in season to him that is
           weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to
           hear as the learned.

23:050:005 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
           neither turned away back.

23:050:006 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that
           plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and
           spitting.

23:050:007 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be
           confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I
           know that I shall not be ashamed.

23:050:008 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let
           us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to
           me.

23:050:009 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall
           condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth
           shall eat them up.

23:050:010 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice
           of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?
           let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

23:050:011 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves
           about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the
           sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand;
           ye shall lie down in sorrow.

23:051:001 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that
           seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to
           the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

23:051:002 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you:
           for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

23:051:003 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste
           places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her
           desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be
           found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

23:051:004 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation:
           for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment
           to rest for a light of the people.

23:051:005 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine
           arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and
           on mine arm shall they trust.

23:051:006 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth
           beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the
           earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell
           therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be
           for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

23:051:007 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in
           whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men,
           neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

23:051:008 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm
           shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for
           ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

23:051:009 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in
           the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it
           that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

23:051:010 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the
           great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the
           ransomed to pass over?

23:051:011 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with
           singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their
           head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and
           mourning shall flee away.

23:051:012 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou
           shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of
           man which shall be made as grass;

23:051:013 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth
           the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast
           feared continually every day because of the fury of the
           oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the
           fury of the oppressor?

23:051:014 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he
           should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

23:051:015 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves
           roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.

23:051:016 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee
           in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and
           lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art
           my people.

23:051:017 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the
           hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the
           dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

23:051:018 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath
           brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the
           hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

23:051:019 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for
           thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the
           sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

23:051:020 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the
           streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of
           the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

23:051:021 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not
           with wine:

23:051:022 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the
           cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand
           the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury;
           thou shalt no more drink it again:

23:051:023 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee;
           which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over:
           and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street,
           to them that went over.

23:052:001 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy
           beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth
           there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the
           unclean.

23:052:002 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:
           loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter
           of Zion.

23:052:003 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought;
           and ye shall be redeemed without money.

23:052:004 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime
           into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them
           without cause.

23:052:005 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my
           people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make
           them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every
           day is blasphemed.

23:052:006 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall
           know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is
           I.

23:052:007 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
           bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth
           good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith
           unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

23:052:008 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
           shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD
           shall bring again Zion.

23:052:009 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of
           Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath
           redeemed Jerusalem.

23:052:010 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the
           nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation
           of our God.

23:052:011 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean
           thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear
           the vessels of the LORD.

23:052:012 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the
           LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your
           rereward.

23:052:013 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted
           and extolled, and be very high.

23:052:014 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more
           than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

23:052:015 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their
           mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall
           they see; and that which they had not heard shall they
           consider.

23:053:001 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the
           LORD revealed?

23:053:002 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a
           root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and
           when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should
           desire him.

23:053:003 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
           acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
           him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

23:053:004 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet
           we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

23:053:005 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for
           our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
           and with his stripes we are healed.

23:053:006 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
           to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of
           us all.

23:053:007 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
           mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a
           sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his
           mouth.

23:053:008 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
           declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of
           the living: for the transgression of my people was he
           stricken.

23:053:009 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in
           his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any
           deceit in his mouth.

23:053:010 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to
           grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
           shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
           pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

23:053:011 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be
           satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify
           many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

23:053:012 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he
           shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured
           out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the
           transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
           intercession for the transgressors.

23:054:001 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into
           singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with
           child: for more are the children of the desolate than the
           children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

23:054:002 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the
           curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords,
           and strengthen thy stakes;

23:054:003 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left;
           and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate
           cities to be inhabited.

23:054:004 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou
           confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt
           forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the
           reproach of thy widowhood any more.

23:054:005 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name;
           and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole
           earth shall he be called.

23:054:006 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved
           in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith
           thy God.

23:054:007 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great
           mercies will I gather thee.

23:054:008 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but
           with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the
           LORD thy Redeemer.

23:054:009 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn
           that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so
           have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke
           thee.

23:054:010 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but
           my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the
           covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath
           mercy on thee.

23:054:011 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
           behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy
           foundations with sapphires.

23:054:012 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of
           carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

23:054:013 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great
           shall be the peace of thy children.

23:054:014 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far
           from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for
           it shall not come near thee.

23:054:015 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me:
           whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for
           thy sake.

23:054:016 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the
           fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and
           I have created the waster to destroy.

23:054:017 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every
           tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
           condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and
           their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

23:055:001 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he
           that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine
           and milk without money and without price.

23:055:002 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and
           your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently
           unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul
           delight itself in fatness.

23:055:003 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall
           live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even
           the sure mercies of David.

23:055:004 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader
           and commander to the people.

23:055:005 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and
           nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the
           LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath
           glorified thee.

23:055:006 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while
           he is near:

23:055:007 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his
           thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have
           mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

23:055:008 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways
           my ways, saith the LORD.

23:055:009 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways
           higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

23:055:010 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and
           returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it
           bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and
           bread to the eater:

23:055:011 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall
           not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
           please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

23:055:012 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the
           mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into
           singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their
           hands.

23:055:013 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead
           of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to
           the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be
           cut off.

23:056:001 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my
           salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be
           revealed.

23:056:002 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that
           layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it,
           and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

23:056:003 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself
           to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me
           from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a
           dry tree.

23:056:004 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my
           sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold
           of my covenant;

23:056:005 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a
           place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will
           give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

23:056:006 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the
           LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be
           his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from
           polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

23:056:007 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
           joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their
           sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house
           shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

23:056:008 The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith,
           Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are
           gathered unto him.

23:056:009 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts
           in the forest.

23:056:010 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all
           dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to
           slumber.

23:056:011 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and
           they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to
           their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

23:056:012 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill
           ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this
           day, and much more abundant.

23:057:001 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and
           merciful men are taken away, none considering that the
           righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

23:057:002 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each
           one walking in his uprightness.

23:057:003 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of
           the adulterer and the whore.

23:057:004 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a
           wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of
           transgression, a seed of falsehood.

23:057:005 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
           slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
           rocks?

23:057:006 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they,
           they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink
           offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive
           comfort in these?

23:057:007 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even
           thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

23:057:008 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy
           remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than
           me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee
           a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest
           it.

23:057:009 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase
           thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst
           debase thyself even unto hell.

23:057:010 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou
           not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand;
           therefore thou wast not grieved.

23:057:011 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast
           lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart?
           have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

23:057:012 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they
           shall not profit thee.

23:057:013 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind
           shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that
           putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall
           inherit my holy mountain;

23:057:014 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take
           up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

23:057:015 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth
           eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy
           place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
           to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
           the contrite ones.

23:057:016 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always
           wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls
           which I have made.

23:057:017 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote
           him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the
           way of his heart.

23:057:018 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also,
           and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

23:057:019 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is
           far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will
           heal him.

23:057:020 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest,
           whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

23:057:021 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

23:058:001 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
           shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob
           their sins.

23:058:002 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a
           nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance
           of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they
           take delight in approaching to God.

23:058:003 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
           wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no
           knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure,
           and exact all your labours.

23:058:004 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the
           fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to
           make your voice to be heard on high.

23:058:005 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to
           afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and
           to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a
           fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

23:058:006 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of
           wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
           oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

23:058:007 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring
           the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the
           naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself
           from thine own flesh?

23:058:008 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine
           health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness
           shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy
           rereward.

23:058:009 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt
           cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the
           midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and
           speaking vanity;

23:058:010 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the
           afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and
           thy darkness be as the noon day:

23:058:011 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy
           soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be
           like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose
           waters fail not.

23:058:012 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste
           places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many
           generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the
           breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

23:058:013 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy
           pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the
           holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing
           thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking
           thine own words:

23:058:014 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause
           thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee
           with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the
           LORD hath spoken it.

23:059:001 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
           neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

23:059:002 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
           and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not
           hear.

23:059:003 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
           iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
           muttered perverseness.

23:059:004 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they
           trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and
           bring forth iniquity.

23:059:005 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he
           that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed
           breaketh out into a viper.

23:059:006 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover
           themselves with their works: their works are works of
           iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

23:059:007 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent
           blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and
           destruction are in their paths.

23:059:008 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in
           their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever
           goeth therein shall not know peace.

23:059:009 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice
           overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for
           brightness, but we walk in darkness.

23:059:010 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we
           had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in
           desolate places as dead men.

23:059:011 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for
           judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off
           from us.

23:059:012 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our
           sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us;
           and as for our iniquities, we know them;

23:059:013 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing
           away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving
           and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

23:059:014 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
           afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot
           enter.

23:059:015 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh
           himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him
           that there was no judgment.

23:059:016 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was
           no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
           and his righteousness, it sustained him.

23:059:017 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of
           salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of
           vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

23:059:018 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to
           his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he
           will repay recompence.

23:059:019 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his
           glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in
           like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard
           against him.

23:059:020 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn
           from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

23:059:021 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My
           spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy
           mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth
           of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith
           the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

23:060:001 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD
           is risen upon thee.

23:060:002 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross
           darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and
           his glory shall be seen upon thee.

23:060:003 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
           brightness of thy rising.

23:060:004 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather
           themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come
           from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

23:060:005 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall
           fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall
           be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come
           unto thee.

23:060:006 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of
           Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall
           bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises
           of the LORD.

23:060:007 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee,
           the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come
           up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house
           of my glory.

23:060:008 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their
           windows?

23:060:009 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish
           first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold
           with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy
           One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

23:060:010 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their
           kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee,
           but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

23:060:011 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not
           be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces
           of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

23:060:012 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall
           perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

23:060:013 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the
           pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my
           sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

23:060:014 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending
           unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow
           themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call
           thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of
           Israel.

23:060:015 Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went
           through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of
           many generations.

23:060:016 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck
           the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am
           thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

23:060:017 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver,
           and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy
           officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

23:060:018 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor
           destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls
           Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

23:060:019 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for
           brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD
           shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy
           glory.

23:060:020 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw
           itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the
           days of thy mourning shall be ended.

23:060:021 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the
           land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my
           hands, that I may be glorified.

23:060:022 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong
           nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

23:061:001 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath
           anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent
           me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
           captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are
           bound;

23:061:002 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
           vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

23:061:003 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
           beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
           praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
           trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he
           might be glorified.

23:061:004 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the
           former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities,
           the desolations of many generations.

23:061:005 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons
           of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

23:061:006 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call
           you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the
           Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

23:061:007 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they
           shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they
           shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

23:061:008 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt
           offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will
           make an everlasting covenant with them.

23:061:009 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their
           offspring among the people: all that see them shall
           acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath
           blessed.

23:061:010 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in
           my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
           he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a
           bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride
           adorneth herself with her jewels.

23:061:011 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden
           causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the
           Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth
           before all the nations.

23:062:001 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
           sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth
           as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that
           burneth.

23:062:002 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings
           thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the
           mouth of the LORD shall name.

23:062:003 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,
           and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

23:062:004 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land
           any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
           Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in
           thee, and thy land shall be married.

23:062:005 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry
           thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall
           thy God rejoice over thee.

23:062:006 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall
           never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of
           the LORD, keep not silence,

23:062:007 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
           Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

23:062:008 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
           strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for
           thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink
           thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

23:062:009 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the
           LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in
           the courts of my holiness.

23:062:010 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the
           people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones;
           lift up a standard for the people.

23:062:011 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,
           Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
           behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

23:062:012 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the
           LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not
           forsaken.

23:063:001 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from
           Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in
           the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness,
           mighty to save.

23:063:002 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like
           him that treadeth in the winefat?

23:063:003 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there
           was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and
           trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled
           upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

23:063:004 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my
           redeemed is come.

23:063:005 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that
           there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought
           salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

23:063:006 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them
           drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the
           earth.

23:063:007 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the
           praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath
           bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of
           Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his
           mercies, and according to the multitude of his
           lovingkindnesses.

23:063:008 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not
           lie: so he was their Saviour.

23:063:009 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his
           presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed
           them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

23:063:010 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was
           turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

23:063:011 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people,
           saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with
           the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy
           Spirit within him?

23:063:012 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious
           arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an
           everlasting name?

23:063:013 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness,
           that they should not stumble?

23:063:014 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD
           caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make
           thyself a glorious name.

23:063:015 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy
           holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength,
           the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are
           they restrained?

23:063:016 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of
           us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our
           father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

23:063:017 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and
           hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants'
           sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

23:063:018 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little
           while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

23:063:019 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not
           called by thy name.

23:064:001 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest
           come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

23:064:002 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters
           to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the
           nations may tremble at thy presence!

23:064:003 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou
           camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

23:064:004 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor
           perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside
           thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

23:064:005 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
           those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth;
           for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be
           saved.

23:064:006 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our
           righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a
           leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

23:064:007 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up
           himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from
           us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

23:064:008 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and
           thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

23:064:009 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
           ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

23:064:010 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
           Jerusalem a desolation.

23:064:011 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised
           thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are
           laid waste.

23:064:012 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou
           hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

23:065:001 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them
           that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a
           nation that was not called by my name.

23:065:002 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious
           people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their
           own thoughts;

23:065:003 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;
           that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars
           of brick;

23:065:004 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
           which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in
           their vessels;

23:065:005 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am
           holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that
           burneth all the day.

23:065:006 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but
           will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

23:065:007 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,
           saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains,
           and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure
           their former work into their bosom.

23:065:008 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster,
           and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so
           will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them
           all.

23:065:009 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah
           an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it,
           and my servants shall dwell there.

23:065:010 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor
           a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have
           sought me.

23:065:011 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy
           mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that
           furnish the drink offering unto that number.

23:065:012 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow
           down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not
           answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before
           mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

23:065:013 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall
           eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink,
           but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice,
           but ye shall be ashamed:

23:065:014 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall
           cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of
           spirit.

23:065:015 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for
           the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another
           name:

23:065:016 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself
           in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall
           swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are
           forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

23:065:017 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the
           former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

23:065:018 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create:
           for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a
           joy.

23:065:019 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the
           voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice
           of crying.

23:065:020 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old
           man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an
           hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old
           shall be accursed.

23:065:021 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall
           plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

23:065:022 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not
           plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days
           of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of
           their hands.

23:065:023 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble;
           for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their
           offspring with them.

23:065:024 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
           answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

23:065:025 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall
           eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's
           meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,
           saith the LORD.

23:066:001 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is
           my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and
           where is the place of my rest?

23:066:002 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things
           have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even
           to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at
           my word.

23:066:003 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that
           sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that
           offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that
           burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have
           chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
           abominations.

23:066:004 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears
           upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I
           spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes,
           and chose that in which I delighted not.

23:066:005 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your
           brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake,
           said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your
           joy, and they shall be ashamed.

23:066:006 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a
           voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

23:066:007 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came,
           she was delivered of a man child.

23:066:008 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall
           the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation
           be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought
           forth her children.

23:066:009 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?
           saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the
           womb? saith thy God.

23:066:010 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that
           love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

23:066:011 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her
           consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the
           abundance of her glory.

23:066:012 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her
           like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing
           stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides,
           and be dandled upon her knees.

23:066:013 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and
           ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

23:066:014 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones
           shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be
           known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his
           enemies.

23:066:015 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
           chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and
           his rebuke with flames of fire.

23:066:016 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all
           flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

23:066:017 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the
           gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh,
           and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed
           together, saith the LORD.

23:066:018 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that
           I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come,
           and see my glory.

23:066:019 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that
           escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,
           that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off,
           that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and
           they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

23:066:020 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto
           the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and
           in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy
           mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel
           bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the
           LORD.

23:066:021 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites,
           saith the LORD.

23:066:022 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,
           shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and
           your name remain.

23:066:023 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,
           and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to
           worship before me, saith the LORD.

23:066:024 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men
           that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not
           die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be
           an abhorring unto all flesh.

*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, B23 ***

****** This file should be named bib2310h.htm or bib2310h.zip *******

Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, bib2311h.htm
VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, bib2310ah.htm

This eBook was produced by David Widger
Additional credits are noted in the header.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03

Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90

Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart

things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
