The Book of Psalms

Psa 6:1To the chief Musician on Neg´-inoth upon Shem´-i-nith, A Psalm of David. O Lord, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
Psa 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Psa 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but Thou, O Lord, how long?
Psa 6:4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for Thy mercies’ sake.
Psa 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?
Psa 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
Psa 6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
Psa 6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
Psa 6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalms 7
Psa 7:1 Shig-ga´-ion of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in Thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Psa 7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Psa 7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Psa 7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
Psa 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
Psa 7:6 Arise, O Lord, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that Thou hast commanded.
Psa 7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass Thee about: for their sakes therefore return Thou on high.
Psa 7:8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Psa 7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
Psa 7:10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
Psa 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Psa 7:12 If he turn not, He will whet His sword; He hath bent His bow, and made it ready.
Psa 7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordaineth His arrows against the persecutors.
Psa 7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Psa 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Psa 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Psa 7:17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Psa 8:3 When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained;
Psa 8:4 What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?
Psa 8:5 For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Psa 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psa 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

Psa 9:14 That I may shew forth all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in Thy salvation.
Psa 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

Psa 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
