Psalm 109

21 But do THOU for me, O GOD the Lord, for THY name's sake: because THY mercy is good, deliver THOU me.

Psalm 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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.

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.

Psalm 131

1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Psalm 133

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.

Psalm 138

1 I will praise THEE with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto THEE.

2 I will worship toward THY holy temple, and praise THY name for THY lovingkindness and for THY truth: for thou hast magnified THY word above all THY name.

Psalm 139

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.

Psalm 140

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. 

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

Psalm 141

1 LORD, I cry unto THEE: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto THEE.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before THEE as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Psalm 142

(A Prayer of David when he was in the cave.)

1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2 I poured out my complaint before HIM; I shewed before HIM my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then THOU knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5 I cried unto THEE, O LORD: I said, THOU art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise THY name: the righteous shall compass me about; for THOU shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 143

8 Cause me to hear THY lovingkindness in the morning; for in THEE do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto THEE.

9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto THEE to hide me.

10 Teach me to do THY will; for THOU art my God: THY spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11 Quicken me, O LORD, for THY name's sake: for THY righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And of THY mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am THY servant.

Psalm 144

1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

2 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.

Psalm 145

1 I will extol THEE, my God, O king; and I will bless THY name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless THEE; and I will praise THY name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and HIS greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise THY works to another, and shall declare THY mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of THY majesty, and of THY wondrous works.

6 And men shall speak of the might of THY terrible acts: and I will declare THY greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of THY great goodness, and shall sing of THY righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all: and HIS tender mercies are over all HIS works.

10 All THY works shall praise THEE, O LORD; and THY saints shall bless THEE.

11 They shall speak of the glory of THY kingdom, and talk of THY power;

12 To make known to the sons of men HIS mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of HIS kingdom.

13 THY kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and THY dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon THEE; and THOU givest them their meat in due season.

16 THOU openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all HIS ways, and holy in all HIS works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon HIM, to all that call upon HIM in truth.

19 HE will fulfil the desire of them that fear HIM: HE also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love HIM: but all the wicked will HE destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless HIS holy name for ever and ever.
