Psalm 111
111:1 | Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. |

111:3 | His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. |
111:4 | He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. |
111:5 | He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. |
111:6 | He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. |
111:7 | The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. |
111:8 | They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. |
111:9 | He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. |
111:10 | 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. |
Psalm 112
112:1 | Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. |
112:2 | His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. |
112:3 | Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. |
112:4 | Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. |

112:7 | He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. |
112:8 | His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. |
112:9 | He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. |

Psalm 113
113:1 | Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. |
113:2 | Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. |
113:3 | From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. |
113:4 | The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. |
113:5 | Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, |
113:6 | Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! |
113:7 | He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; |
113:8 | That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. |
113:9 | He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. |
Psalm 114
114:1 | When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; |
114:2 | Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. |
114:3 | The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. |
114:4 | The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. |
114:5 | What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
114:6 | Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |
114:7 | Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; |
114:8 | Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. |
Psalm 115
115:1 | Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
115:2 | Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
115:3 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. |
115:4 | Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
115:5 | They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
115:6 | They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
115:7 | They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. |
115:8 | They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. |
115:9 | O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:10 | O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:11 | Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
115:12 | 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. |
115:13 | He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. |
115:14 | The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. |
115:15 | Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. |
115:16 | The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. |
115:17 | The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. |
115:18 | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. |
Psalm 116
116:1 | I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. |
116:2 | Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. |
116:3 | The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. |
116:4 | Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. |
116:5 | Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. |
116:6 | The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. |
116:7 | Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
116:8 | For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. |
116:9 | I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. |
116:10 | I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: |
116:11 | I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
116:12 | What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? |
116:13 | I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:14 | I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
116:15 | Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. |
116:16 | O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. |
116:17 | I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. |
116:18 | I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. |
116:19 | In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. |
Psalm 117
117:1 | O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. |
117:2 | For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. |
Psalm 118
118:1 | O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:2 | Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:3 | Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:4 | Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. |
118:5 | I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. |
118:6 | The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? |
118:7 | The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. |
118:8 | It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. |
118:9 | It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. |
118:10 | All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. |
118:11 | They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. |
118:12 | 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. |
118:13 | Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. |
118:14 | The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. |
118:15 | The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
118:16 | The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. |
118:17 | I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. |
118:18 | The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. |
118:19 | Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: |
118:20 | This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. |
118:21 | I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. |
118:22 | The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. |
118:23 | This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. |
118:24 | This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
118:25 | Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. |
118:26 | Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. |
118:27 | God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. |
118:28 | Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. |
118:29 | O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |

119:20 | My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. |
119:21 | Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. |
119:22 | Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. |

119:30 | I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. |
119:31 | I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. |

119:51 | The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. |
119:52 | I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. |
119:53 | Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. |
119:54 | Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. |
119:55 | I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. |
119:56 | This I had, because I kept thy precepts. |

119:58 | I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. |
119:59 | I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. |
119:60 | I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. |
119:61 | The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. |
119:62 | At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. |

119:70 | Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. |
119:71 | It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. |
119:72 | The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. |
JOD.
119:73 | Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. |
119:74 | They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. |
119:75 | I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. |
119:76 | Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. |
119:77 | Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. |

CAPH.
119:81 | My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. |
119:82 | Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? |
119:83 | For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. |
119:84 | How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? |
119:85 | The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. |
119:86 | All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. |
119:87 | They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. |
119:88 | Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. |
LAMED.
119:89 | For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. |
119:90 | Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. |
119:91 | They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. |
119:92 | Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. |
119:93 | I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. |
119:94 | I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. |
119:95 | The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. |
119:96 | I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. |
MEM.
119:97 | O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. |
119:98 | Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. |
119:99 | I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. |
119:100 | I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. |
119:101 | I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. |
119:102 | I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. |
119:103 | How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! |
119:104 | Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. |
NUN.
119:105 | Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. |
119:106 | I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. |
119:107 | I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. |
119:108 | Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. |
119:109 | My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. |
119:110 | The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. |
119:111 | Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. |
119:112 | I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. |
SAMECH.
119:113 | I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. |
119:114 | Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. |
119:115 | Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. |
119:116 | Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. |
119:117 | Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. |
119:118 | Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. |
119:119 | Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. |
119:120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. |
AIN.
119:121 | I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. |
119:122 | Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. |
119:123 | Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. |
119:124 | Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. |
119:125 | I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. |
119:126 | It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. |
119:127 | Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. |
119:128 | Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. |
PE.
119:129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. |
119:130 | The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. |
119:131 | I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. |
119:132 | Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. |
119:133 | Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
119:134 | Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. |
119:135 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. |
119:136 | Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. |
TZAD-DI.
119:137 | Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. |
119:138 | Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. |
119:139 | My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
119:140 | Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. |
119:141 | I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. |
119:142 | Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. |
119:143 | Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. |
119:144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. |
KOPH.
119:145 | I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. |
119:146 | I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. |
119:147 | I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. |
119:148 | Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. |
119:149 | Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. |
119:150 | They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. |
119:151 | Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. |
119:152 | Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. |
RESH.
119:153 | Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. |
119:154 | Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. |
119:155 | Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. |
119:156 | Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. |
119:157 | Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. |
119:158 | I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. |
119:159 | Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. |
119:160 | Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. |
SCHIN.
119:161 | Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. |
119:162 | I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. |
119:163 | I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. |
119:164 | Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. |
119:165 | Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. |
119:166 | LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. |
119:167 | My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. |

TAU.
119:169 | Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. |
119:170 | Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. |
119:171 | My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. |

A Song of degrees.
120:1 | In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. |
120:2 | Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. |
120:3 | What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? |
120:4 | Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. |
120:5 | Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! |
120:6 | My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. |
120:7 | I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. |
