   Psalms 88   
   [1] O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: [2]   
   Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; [3] For my soul   
   is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.   
   [4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath   
   no strength:   
   [5] Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou   
   rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. [6] Thou hast laid me   
   in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. [7] Thy wrath lieth hard upon   
   me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.   
   [8] Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an   
   abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. [9] Mine eye   
   mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have   
   stretched out my hands unto thee. [10] Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?   
   shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.   
   [11] Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in   
   destruction?   
   [12] Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land   
   of forgetfulness?   
   [13] But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer   
   prevent thee.   
   [14] LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?   
   [15] I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy   
   terrors I am distracted.   
   [16] Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. [17] They   
   came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.   
   [18] Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into   
   darkness.   
      
   Psalms 89   
   [1] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make   
   known thy faithfulness to all generations. [2] For I have said, Mercy shall be   
   built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.   
   [3] I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,   
   [4] Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all   
   generations. Selah.   
   [5] And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in   
   the congregation of the saints.   
   [6] For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of   
   the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? [7] God is greatly to be feared in   
   the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are   
   about him. [8] O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to   
   thy faithfulness round about thee?   
   [9] Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou   
   stillest them.   
   [10] Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast   
   scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. [11] The heavens are thine, the   
   earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast   
   founded them. [12] The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and   
   Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.   
   [13] Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.   
   [14] Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth   
   shall go before thy face.   
   [15] Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O   
   LORD, in the light of thy countenance. [16] In thy name shall they rejoice all   
   the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.   
   [17] For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn   
   shall be exalted.   
   [18] For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. [19]   
   Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon   
   one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. [20] I have   
   found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: [21] With whom   
   my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.   
   [22] The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.   
   [23] And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate   
   him.   
   [24] But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall   
   his horn be exalted.   
   [25] I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.   
   [26] He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my   
   salvation.   
   [27] Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.   
   [28] My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand   
   fast with him.   
   [29] His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days   
   of heaven.   
   [30] If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; [31] If   
   they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; [32] Then will I visit   
   their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.   
   [33] Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor   
   suffer my faithfulness to fail.   
   [34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my   
   lips.   
   [35] Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. [36] His   
   seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. [37] It shall   
   be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.   
   Selah.   
   [38] But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine   
   anointed.   
   [39] Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his   
   crown by casting it to the ground.   
   [40] Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds   
   to ruin.   
   [41] All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.   
   [42] Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all   
   his enemies to rejoice.   
   [43] Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to   
   stand in the battle.   
   [44] Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.   
   [45] The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with   
   shame. Selah.   
   [46] How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn   
   like fire?   
   [47] Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?   
   [48] What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his   
   soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. [49] Lord, where are thy former   
   lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?   
   [50] Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom   
   the reproach of all the mighty people; [51] Wherewith thine enemies have   
   reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine   
   anointed. [52] Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.   
      
   Psalms 90   
   [1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. [2] Before the   
   mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the   
   world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. [3] Thou turnest   
   man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. [4] For a thousand   
   years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the   
   night.   
   [5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the   
   morning they are like grass which groweth up. [6] In the morning it   
   flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.   
   [7] For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. [8]   
   Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy   
   countenance.   
   [9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a   
   tale that is told.   
   [10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of   
   strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for   
   it is soon cut off, and we fly away. [11] Who knoweth the power of thine   
   anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.   
   [12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.   
   [13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.   
   [14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all   
   our days.   
   [15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and   
   the years wherein we have seen evil. [16] Let thy work appear unto thy   
   servants, and thy glory unto their children.   
   [17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the   
   work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
