- Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. - For a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. - And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. - He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust. - He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. - When I said, My foot slippeth;
thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. - In the multitude of my thoughts within me
thy comforts delight my soul. - O come, let us worship and bow down:
let us kneel before the Lord our maker. - Ye that love the Lord, hate evil:
he preserveth the souls of his saints;
he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. - Bless the Lord, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. - Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. - But the mercy of the Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
and his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them. - I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. - O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name:
make known his deeds among the people. - Seek the Lord, and his strength:
seek his face evermore. - For he satisfieth the longing soul,
and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. - He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions. - I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. - Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
and thy glory above all the earth. - 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. - Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments. - A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth:
he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
