Psalms 78-150 - Geneva Bible

3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath smitten my life down to the
earth: he hath laid me in the darkness, as they that have been dead long ago:
4
And my spirit was in perplexity in me, and mine heart within me was amazed.
5
Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy works, yea, I do meditate
in the works of thine hands.
6
I stretch forth mine hands unto thee: my soul desireth after thee, as the thirsty
land. Selah.
7
Hear me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, else I
shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8
Let me hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shew me
the way, that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9
Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
10
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me unto
the land of righteousness.
11
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Name’s sake, and for thy righteousness bring my
soul out of trouble.
12
And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my
soul: for I am thy servant.
Psalm 144
1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth mine
hands to fight, and my fingers to battle.
2
He is my goodness and my fortress, my tower and my deliverer, my shield, and
in him I trust, which subdueth my people under me.
3
Lord, what is man that thou regardest him! or the son of man that thou thinkest
upon him!
4
Man is like to vanity: his days are like a shadow, that vanisheth.
5
Bow thine heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains and they
shall smoke.
