God

Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverance for Jacob.

Through thee will we push down our adversaries: Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And hast put them to shame that hate us.

In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. [Selah

But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

Thou sellest thy people for nought, And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

Rise up for our help, And redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
