Psalms 82:1-86:17
Psalms 82
- 1
- God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
- 2
- How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
- 3
- Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
- 4
- Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
- 5
- They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
- 6
- I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
- 7
- But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
- 8
- Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Psalms 83
- 1
- Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
- 2
- For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
- 3
- They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
- 4
- They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
- 5
- For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
- 6
- The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
- 7
- Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
- 8
- Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
- 9
- Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
- 10
- Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
- 11
- Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
- 12
- Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
- 13
- O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
- 14
- As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
- 15
- So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
- 16
- Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
- 17
- Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
- 18
- That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Psalms 84
- 1
- How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
- 2
- My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
- 3
- Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
- 4
- Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
- 5
- Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
- 6
- Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
- 7
- They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
- 8
- O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
- 9
- Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
- 10
- For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
- 11
- For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
- 12
- O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalms 85
- 1
- Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
- 2
- Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
- 3
- Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
- 4
- Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
- 5
- Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
- 6
- Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
- 7
- Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
- 8
- I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
- 9
- Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
- 10
- Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
- 11
- Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
- 12
- Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
- 13
- Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Psalms 86
- 1
- Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
- 2
- Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
- 3
- Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
- 4
- Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
- 5
- For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
- 6
- Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
- 7
- In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
- 8
- Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
- 9
- All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
- 10
- For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
- 11
- Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
- 12
- I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
- 13
- For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
- 14
- O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
- 15
- But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
- 16
- O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
- 17
- Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
