Psalms 119:79–86

⁷⁴They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

⁶³I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

¹⁶¶ This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

¹⁴And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.

¹²For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

⁴⁷Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

⁶Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

²³¶ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

²Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

¹⁷But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

²And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.

²⁰¶ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.

²¹And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

⁹And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

³Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

²My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

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

¹¹⁴Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

²⁶My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

¹⁵I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

⁸I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

⁴²So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

⁷⁴They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

¹AS the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

²My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

²⁰My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

³I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

¹²³Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

¹²Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

¹⁷Shew 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.

¹³Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

³²Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

¹¹I 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.

¹¹Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

³⁰My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

¹⁷⁶I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

¹⁶I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

⁶¹The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

¹⁰And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹¹And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

⁴Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

⁵Behold, 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.

⁶Arise, 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.

⁴⁷Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

⁴⁸What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

⁶My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

⁷O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

⁸The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

²⁷An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

⁷For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

²⁰Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

⁷⁸Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹¹Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

²²Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

¹DO ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

²Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

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

⁵But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

²⁶Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

⁷⁸Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

⁷For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

¹²⁸Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

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

¹⁵¹Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

¹²Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

²⁰Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

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

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

⁴I 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.

⁵I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

⁶Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

⁹Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

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

³For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

¹O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁵Let 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.
