1  The foolish body hath said in his heart * There is no God.2  Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickedness * there is none that doeth good.3  God looked down from heaven upon the children of men * to see if there were any, that would understand, and seek after God.4  But they are all gone out of the way, they are […]

1  O how amiable are thy dwellings * thou Lord of hosts!2  My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord * my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.3  Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young * even thy altars, O Lord of […]

1  Hear my prayer, O Lord, and consider my desire * hearken unto me for thy truth and righteousness’ sake.2  And enter not into judgement with thy servant * for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.3  For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground * he hath laid me in the darkness, as […]

1  Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised * in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.2  The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the joy of the whole earth * upon the north-side lieth the city of the great King; God is well known in her palaces as a sure refuge.3  For lo, the […]

1  I was glad when they said unto me * We will go into the house of the Lord.2  Our feet shall stand in thy gates * O Jerusalem.3  Jerusalem is built as a city * that is at unity in itself.4  For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord * to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the […]

1  Deliver me from mine enemies, O God * defend me from them that rise up against me.2  O deliver me from the wicked doers * and save me from the blood-thirsty men.3  For lo, they lie waiting for my soul * the mighty men are gathered against me, without any offence or fault of me, O Lord.4  They run and prepare themselves without my […]
