From this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord. CXVI I Love the Lord, because he hath heard My voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, And the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. For the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. And my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord In the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars. What shall I render unto the Lord O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the Lord. Now in the presence of all his people, In the courts of the Lord's house, For his merciful kindness is great toward us: And the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. CXVIII O Give thanks unto the Lord: for he is good: Because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, That his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the Lord in distress: The Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me? The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord But in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. 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. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: But the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and song, And is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the taber nacles of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. And declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore: But he hath not given me over unto death. I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: Into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, The stone which the builders refused Is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; It is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: Even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: CXIX ALEPH Blessed are the undefiled in the way, They walk in his ways. To keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, When I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, |
