Psalms 66-70

Psalms 66

Psa 66:1 To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Psa 66:2 Sing forth the honour of His name: make His praise glorious.

Psa 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee.

Psa 66:4 All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing unto Thee; they shall sing to Thy name. Selah.

Psa 66:5 Come and see the works of God: He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.

Psa 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in Him.

Psa 66:7 He ruleth by His power for ever; His eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Psa 66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard:

Psa 66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

Psa 66:10 For Thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Psa 66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

Psa 66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

Psa 66:13 I will go into Thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay Thee my vows,

Psa 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

Psa 66:15 I will offer unto Thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams: I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

Psa 66:16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

Psa 66:17 I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

Psa 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Psa 66:19 But verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Psa 66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.

Psalms 67

Psa 67:1 To the chief Musician on Neg´-inoth, A Psalm or Song. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah.

Psa 67:2 That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations.

Psa 67:3 Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee.

Psa 67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

Psa 67:5 Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee.

Psa 67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Psa 67:7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

Psalms 68

Psa 68:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered: let them also that hate Him flee before Him.

Psa 68:2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Psa 68:3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

Psa 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to His name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name JAH, and rejoice before Him.

Psa 68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.

Psa 68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Psa 68:7 O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

Psa 68:8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Si´-nai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Psa 68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby Thou didst confirm Thine inheritance, when it was weary.

Psa 68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: Thou, O God, hast prepared of Thy goodness for the poor.

Psa 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Psa 68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

Psa 68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

Psa 68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Sal´-mon.

Psa 68:15 The hill of God is as the hill of Ba´-shan; an high hill as the hill of Ba´-shan.

Psa 68:16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.

Psa 68:17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Si´-nai, in the holy place.

Psa 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive: Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

Psa 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Psa 68:20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.

Psa 68:21 But God shall wound the head of His enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

Psa 68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Ba´-shan, I will bring My people again from the depths of the sea:

Psa 68:23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.

Psa 68:24 They have seen Thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.

Psa 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

Psa 68:26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

Psa 68:27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zeb´-ulun, and the princes of Naph´-ta-li.

Psa 68:28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which Thou hast wrought for us.

Psa 68:29 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto Thee.

Psa 68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter Thou the people that delight in war.

Psa 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; E-thi-o´-pi-a shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

Psa 68:32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

Psa 68:33 To Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, He doth send out His voice, and that a mighty voice.

Psa 68:34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds.

Psa 68:35 O God, Thou art terrible out of Thy holy places: the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto His people. Blessed be God.

Psalms 69

Psa 69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshan´-nim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

Psa 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Psa 69:3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Psa 69:4 They that hate Me without a cause are more than the hairs of Mine head: they that would destroy Me, being Mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Psa 69:5 O God, Thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from Thee.

Psa 69:6 Let not them that wait on Thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek Thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

Psa 69:7 Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered My face.

Psa 69:8 I am become a stranger unto My brethren, and an alien unto My mother’s children.

Psa 69:9 For the zeal of Thine house hath eaten Me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon Me.

Psa 69:10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

Psa 69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

Psa 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

Psa 69:13 But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of Thy mercy hear me, in the truth of Thy salvation.

Psa 69:14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Psa 69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Psa 69:16 Hear me, O Lord; for Thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.

Psa 69:17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Psa 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

Psa 69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before Thee.

Psa 69:20 Reproach hath broken My heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

Psa 69:21 They gave Me also gall for My meat; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink.

Psa 69:22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

Psa 69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

Psa 69:24 Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let Thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

Psa 69:25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

Psa 69:26 For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom Thou hast wounded.

Psa 69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into Thy righteousness.

Psa 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Psa 69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

Psa 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

Psa 69:31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

Psa 69:32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Psa 69:33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not His prisoners.

Psa 69:34 Let the heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

Psa 69:35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

Psa 69:36 The seed also of His servants shall inherit it: and they that love His name shall dwell therein.

Psalms 70

Psa 70:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

Psa 70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Psa 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Psa 70:4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Psa 70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
