I WILL TAKE THE CUP OF SALVATION, AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD.



Psalm 116

King James Version (KJV)

1.     I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2.     Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, 
        therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3.     The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: 
        I found trouble and sorrow.
4.     Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5.     Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6.     The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7.     Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8.     For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
        mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9.     I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10.   I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11.   I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12.   What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13.   I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14.   I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15.   Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16.   O Lord, truly I am thy servant;
        I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17.   I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
        and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18.   I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
19.   In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee,
        O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

ARISE FOR OUR HELP, AND REDEEM US FOR THY MERCIES' SAKE....




Psalm 44 

King James Version (KJV)


1.      We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, 
         what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2.      How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; 
         how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3.      For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, 
         neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, 
         and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4.      Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5.      Through thee will we push down our enemies: 
         through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6.      For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7.      But thou hast saved us from our enemies, 
         and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8.      In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9.      But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10.    Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: 
         and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11.    Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; 
         and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12.    Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13.    Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, 
         a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14.    Thou makest us a byword among the heathen,
         a shaking of the head among the people.
15.    My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16.    For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;
         by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17.    All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, 
         neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18.    Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19.    Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, 
          and covered us with the shadow of death.
20.    If we have forgotten the name of our God, 
         or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21.    Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22.    Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; 
         we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23.    Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24.    Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25.    For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26.    Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

AS THE HART PANTETH AFTER THE WATER BROOKS, SO PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD...




Psalm 42

King James Version (KJV)


1.     As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2.     My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 
        when shall I come and appear before God?
3.     My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, 
        Where is thy God?
4.     When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: 
        for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, 
        with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5.     Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? 
        hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6.     O my God, my soul is cast down within me: 
        therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, 
        and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7.     Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: 
        all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8.     Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, 
         and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9.     I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? 
        why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10.   As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; 
        while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11.    Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?
         hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, 
         who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION...




Psalm 27

King James Version (KJV)


1.     The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 
        the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2.     When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, 
        came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3.     Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: 
        though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4.     One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; 
        that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, 
        to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5.     For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
        in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6.     And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
        therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; 
        I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
7.     Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8.     When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; 
        my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9.     Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger:
        thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10.   When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
11.   Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12.   Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: 
        for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13.   I had fainted, unless I had believed to see
        the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14.   Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, 
        and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

DELIVER THE POOR AND NEEDY ....



Psalm 82 

King James Version (KJV)


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.

2.      My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3.    He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4.    Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5.   The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6.   The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7.   The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8.   The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, 
     and even for evermore.

EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE, THEY LABOUR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT.....



Psalm 127

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: 
       except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2.    It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, 
       to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3.    Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4.    As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5.    Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: 
      they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

THE LORD REIGNETH; LET THE PEOPLE TREMBLE AND LET THE EARTH BE MOVED....



Psalm 99

King James Version (KJV)


1.     The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: 
         he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2.     The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
3.     Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4.     The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, 
        thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5.     Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
6.     Moses and Aaron among his priests, 
        and Samuel among them that call upon his name; 
        they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
7.     He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, 
        and the ordinance that he gave them.
8.     Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, 
         though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9.     Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

THOU HAST COVERED ME IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB....





Psalm 139 

King James Version (KJV)


1.     O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2.     Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 
        thou understandest my thought afar off.
3.     Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4.     For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5.     Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6.     Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7.     Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8.     If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 
        if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9.     If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10.   Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11.   If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12.   Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: 
        the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13.   For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14.   I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 
        marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15.   My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, 
        and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16.   Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; 
        and in thy book all my members were written, 
        which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17.   How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18.   If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: 
        when I awake, I am still with thee.
19.   Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, 
        O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20.   For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21.   Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? 
        and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22.   I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23.   Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24.   And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

O GOD OF HOSTS, AND CAUSE THY FACE TO SHINE



Psalm 80 

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; 
       thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2.    Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
        and come and save us.
3.    Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4.    O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5.    Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; 
       and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6.    Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: 
       and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7.    Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8.    Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9.    Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
        and it filled the land.
10.  The hills were covered with the shadow of it,
       and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11.   She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12.   Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, 
        so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13.   The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14.   Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: 
        look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15.   And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, 
        and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16.   It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17.   Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, 
        upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18.   So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19.   Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; 
         and we shall be saved.

THE LORD HEAR THEE IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE .....




Psalm 20

King James Version (KJV)

1.    The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2.    Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3.    Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4.    Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5.    We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God 
        we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6.    Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; 
       he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7.    Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: 
       but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8.    They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9.    Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING....




Psalm 100 

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2.    Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3.    Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, 
       and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4.    Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: 
       be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5.    For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; 
       and his truth endureth to all generations.

TRULY MY SOUL WAITETH UPON GOD: FROM HIM COMETH MY SALVATION......





Psalm 62 

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2.    He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3.    How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? 
       ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4.    They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: 
       they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5.    My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6.    He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7.    In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength,
       and my refuge, is in God.
8.    Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:
        God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9.    Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: 
       to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10.  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery:
       if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11.  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12.  Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: 
      for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

BLESSED IS HE THAT CONSIDERETH THE POOR....




Psalm 41

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2.    The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; 
        and he shall be blessed upon the earth: 
       and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3.    The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: 
        thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4.    I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5.    Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6.    And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; 
       when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7.    All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8.    An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: 
       and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9.    Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, 
        hath lifted up his heel against me.
10.   But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11.   By this I know that thou favourest me, 
        because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12.   And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, 
        and settest me before thy face for ever.
13.   Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. 
        Amen, and Amen.

EXCEPT THE LORD KEEP THE CITY, THE WATCHMAN WAKETH BUT IN VAIN...




Psalm 127

1.   Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it:
      except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2.   It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
       for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

4.   As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5.   Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, 
      but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S...






Psalm 103

King James Version (KJV)


1.    Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2.    Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3.    Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4.    Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 
       who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5.    Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; 
       so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6.    The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7.    He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8.    The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9.     He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10.   He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11.   For as the heaven is high above the earth, 
        so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12.   As far as the east is from the west, 
        so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13.   Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14.   For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15.   As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16    For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; 
        and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17    But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
        and his righteousness unto children's children;
18.   To such as keep his covenant,
        and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19.   The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20.    Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, 
         that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21.    Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22.    Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: 
         bless the Lord, O my soul.

FOR THE LIPS OF A STRANGE WOMAN DROP AS AN HONEYCOMB




Proverbs 5 

King James Version (KJV)


1.   My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2.   That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3.   For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, 
      and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4.   But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5.   Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6.   Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, 
      that thou canst not know them.
7.   Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8.   Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9.   Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11.  And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12.  And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13.  And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, 
       nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14.  I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15.  Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16.  Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17.  Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18.  Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19.  Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;
       and be thou ravished always with her love.
20.  And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
       and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21.  For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
       and he pondereth all his goings.
22.  His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, 
       and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23.  He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON US ….




Psalm 67

1.   God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

3.    Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4.    O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, 
       and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5.    Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6.    Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7.    God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD....




Psalm 122 

King James Version (KJV)


1.    I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2.    Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3.    Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4.    Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, 
       to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5.    For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6.    Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7.    Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8.    For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9.    Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD; AND IN HIS LAW DOTH HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT.








Psalm 1 

King James Version (KJV)


1.  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.
2.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3.  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.
4.  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
      nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6.   For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: 
      but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

BEHOLD, HOW GOOD AND HOW PLEASANT IT IS FOR BRETHREN TO DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY!







Psalm 133

King James Version (KJV)

1.   Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2.   It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,
      even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3.   As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
      for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

THE FOOL HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD .....




Psalm 53

King James Version (KJV)


1.  The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
      there is none that doeth good.
2.   God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 
       to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3.   Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; 
      there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4.   Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: 
      they have not called upon God.
5.   There were they in great fear, where no fear was: 
      for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: 
      thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6.   Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! 
      When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, 
      Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
