Psalms 5:1–5

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

²Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

¹²For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

¹GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

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

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

¹HEAR the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

¹BOW down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

¹⁶Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

¹GIVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

¹³Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

²O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

⁴I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

²²For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

¹I WILL extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

³Yea, 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.

⁷Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

⁸Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

¹²For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹THE Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

²The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

³Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

⁴The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

¹⁶The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

⁴Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

⁷For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

¹⁴⁷I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

¹³But unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

⁶My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

⁹With 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.

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

²O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

¹⁴Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁷¶ Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

²¹These 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.

²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

¹⁵To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹³Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

²³Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

²⁰Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

²³And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

¹⁷I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

⁵The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

¹⁵All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

¹⁶¶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

²³And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

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

⁵O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

¹³Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

⁴When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

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

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁸Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

³If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

¹THE fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

⁸Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

³For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
