Bible - Psalms

Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah

Psalm 50

The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to where it sets.

From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines forth.

Our God comes
and will not be silent;
a fire devours before him,
and around him a tempest rages.

He summons the heavens above,
and the earth, that he may judge his people:

“Gather to me this consecrated people,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
for he is a God of justice.

“Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel:
I am God, your God.

I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

I have no need of a bull from your stall
or of goats from your pens,

for every animal of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know every bird in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields are mine.

If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?

“Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,

and call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

But to the wicked person, God says:

Psalm 144

{A Psalm of David.}

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 trust; 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: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

(KJV)

Psalm 91 

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

(ESV)

Psalm 64

Hear, O God, my voice of complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

Hide me from the scheming of the wicked,
from the mob of workers of iniquity,

who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their bitter words like arrows,

ambushing the innocent in seclusion,
shooting suddenly, without fear.

They hold fast to their evil purpose;
they speak of hiding their snares.
“Who will see them?” they say.

They devise injustice and say,
“We have perfected a secret plan.”
For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly they will be wounded.

They will be made to stumble,
their own tongues turned against them.
All who see will shake their heads.

Then all mankind will fear
and proclaim the work of God;
so they will ponder what He has done.

Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD
and take refuge in Him;
let all the upright in heart exult.

Psalm 147

Hallelujah!

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers the exiles of Israel.

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

He determines the number of the stars;
He calls them each by name.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding has no limit.

The LORD sustains the humble,
but casts the wicked to the ground.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make music on the harp to our God,

who covers the sky with clouds,
who prepares rain for the earth,
who makes grass to grow on the hills.

He provides food for the animals,
and for the young ravens when they call.

He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.

The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him,
who hope in His loving devotion.

Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion!

For He strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses the children within you.

He makes peace at your borders;
He fills you with the finest wheat.

He sends forth His command to the earth;
His word runs swiftly.

He spreads the snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;

He casts forth His hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand His icy blast?

He sends forth His word and melts them;
He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

He declares His word to Jacob,
His statutes and judgments to Israel.

He has done this for no other nation;
they do not know His judgments.

Hallelujah!
