Psalms 119:149–151

⁷¶ 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.

²¹But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

¹HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

²Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

²Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

³My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

¹⁵⁶Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord: quicken me according to thy judgments.

²⁵My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

¹⁶Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁵⁴Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

¹HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

¹⁶¶ And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

¹⁶Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

¹⁴Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

¹²Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁶For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

⁴⁶Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

⁴⁷¶ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

²²How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

⁷¶ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

¹⁴²Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

⁷For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

²³Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

¹³⁸Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

¹GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

¹UNTO thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
