God

For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

¶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

I will not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.

I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.

For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.

For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

¶ He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
