Book 19        Psalms

19:001:001 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
           ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
           the seat of the scornful.

19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
           he meditate day and night.

19:001:003 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
           that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
           shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
           driveth away.

19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
           sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
           the ungodly shall perish.

19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
           counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
           saying,

19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
           from us.

19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
           have them in derision.

19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
           his sore displeasure.

19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
           art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
           inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
           possession.

19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
           in pieces like a potter's vessel.

19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
           the earth.

19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

19:002:012 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
           when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
           that put their trust in him.

19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they
           that rise up against me.

19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
           in God. Selah.

19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the
           lifter up of mine head.

19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
           his holy hill. Selah.

19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
           themselves against me round about.

19:003:007 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
           mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth
           of the ungodly.

19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
           people. Selah.

19:004:001 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast
           enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and
           hear my prayer.

19:004:002 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
           how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
           himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
           your bed, and be still. Selah.

19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
           the LORD.

19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
           thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
           their corn and their wine increased.

19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
           only makest me dwell in safety.

19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
           unto thee will I pray.

19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
           morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
           neither shall evil dwell with thee.

19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
           workers of iniquity.

19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
