The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me? It is better to trust in the Lord The Lord is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the right eous: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteous ness: I will enter into them, I will praise This is the gate of the Lord; I will praise thee; for thou hast And art become my salvation. The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, we beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; For his mercy endureth forever. Lord, remember for David How he sware unto the Lord, Surely I will not come into the I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Until I find out a place for the A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob. Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We will go into his tabernacles; Arise, O Lord, into thy resting Thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy. For thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed. The Lord hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. This is my resting place forever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. There will I make the horn of David to bud: Praise ye the Lord; for the Lord is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, And Israel for his own possession. For I know that the Lord is great, And that our Lord is above all gods. Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps; Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries; Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, Who sent signs and wonders into Who smote many nations, I have ordained a lamp for mine Sihon king of the Amorites, anointed. Forty-seventh Sunday Praise ye the Lord. Ye that stand in the house of the In the courts of the house of our And Og king of Bashan, And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people. Thy name, O Lord, endureth for Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate. My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land. Make haste to answer me, O Lord; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Lead me in the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall Blessed be the Lord my strength, Which teacheth my hands to war, And my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me. Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out thine arrows, and discomfit them. Stretch forth thy hand from above; Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, Out of the hand of aliens; I will sing a new song unto thee, Upon a psaltery of ten strings will Thou art he that giveth salvation unto kings; Who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh vanity, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner stones hewn after the fashion of a palace; When our garners are full, af- When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets: Happy is the people that is in such a case; Yea, happy is the people whose God is the Lord. Forty-ninth Sunday I will extol thee, my God, O King; And I will bless thy name forever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, And shall declare thy mighty acts. Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; And I will declare thy greatness. They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteous ness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all; And his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O And thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, And talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, And raiseth up all those that be bowed down. |
