Psalms {18:33} He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet,] and setteth me upon my high places. {18:34} He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. {18:35} Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. {18:36} Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. {18:37} I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. {18:38} I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. {18:39} For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. {18:40} Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. {18:41} They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. {18:42} Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. {18:43} Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me. {18:44} As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. {18:45} The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. {18:46} The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. {18:47} [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. {18:48} He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. {18:49} Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. {18:50} Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. Psalm 19 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. {19:1} The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. {19:2} Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. {19:3} [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. {19:4} Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, {19:5} Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. {19:6} His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. {19:7} The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. {19:8} The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. {19:9} The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. {19:10} More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. {19:11} Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward. {19:12} Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults. Psalms ]{19:13} Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins;] let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. {19:14} Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 20 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. {20:1} The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; {20:2} Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; {20:3} Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. {20:4} Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. {20:5} 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. {20:6} 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. {20:7} Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. {20:8} They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. {20:9} Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. Psalm 21 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. {21:1} The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! {21:2} Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.
