   Psalms 67   
   [1] God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon   
   us; Selah.   
   [2] That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.   
   [3] Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. [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. [5] Let the people   
   praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. [6] Then shall the earth   
   yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.   
   [7] God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.   
      
   Psalms 68   
   [1] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him   
   flee before him.   
   [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. [3] But let the   
   righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly   
   rejoice.   
   [4] Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the   
   heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. [5] A father of the   
   fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.   
   [6] God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are   
   bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. [7] O God, when   
   thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the   
   wilderness; Selah:   
   [8] The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even   
   Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. [9] Thou, O   
   God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine   
   inheritance, when it was weary. [10] Thy congregation hath dwelt therein:   
   thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.   
   [11] The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.   
   [12] Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the   
   spoil.   
   [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. [14] When the   
   Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.   
   [15] The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of   
   Bashan.   
   [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. [17] The chariots of God are   
   twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in   
   Sinai, in the holy place. [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.   
   [19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of   
   our salvation. Selah.   
   [20] He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong   
   the issues from death.   
   [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. [22] The Lord said, I will bring   
   again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:   
   [23] That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue   
   of thy dogs in the same.   
   [24] They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in   
   the sanctuary.   
   [25] The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among   
   them were the damsels playing with timbrels. [26] Bless ye God in the   
   congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.   
   [27] There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their   
   council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. [28] Thy God   
   hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought   
   for us.   
   [29] Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.   
   [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. [31] Princes shall come out of   
   Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.   
   [32] Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord;   
   Selah:   
   [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. [34] Ascribe ye strength   
   unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.   
   [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   
   [1] Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. [2] I sink in   
   deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the   
   floods overflow me. [3] I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes   
   fail while I wait for my God.   
   [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. [5] O God, thou knowest my foolishness;   
   and my sins are not hid from thee. [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.   
   [7] Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.   
   [8] I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's   
   children.   
   [9] For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them   
   that reproached thee are fallen upon me. [10] When I wept, and chastened my   
   soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.   
   [11] I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. [12]   
   They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the   
   drunkards.   
   [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.   
   [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. [15] Let not the waterflood   
   overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her   
   mouth upon me. [16] Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto   
   me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. [17] And hide not thy   
   face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.   
   [18] Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.   
   [19] Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine   
   adversaries are all before thee.   
   [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.   
   [21] They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar   
   to drink.   
   [22] Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have   
   been for their welfare, let it become a trap. [23] Let their eyes be darkened,   
   that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.   
   [24] Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take   
   hold of them.   
   [25] Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. [26]   
   For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of   
   those whom thou hast wounded. [27] Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let   
   them not come into thy righteousness.   
   [28] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written   
   with the righteous.   
   [29] But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.   
   [30] I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with   
   thanksgiving.   
   [31] This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath   
   horns and hoofs.   
   [32] The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that   
   seek God.   
   [33] For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. [34] Let   
   the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moveth therein.   
   [35] For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may   
   dwell there, and have it in possession. [36] The seed also of his servants   
   shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
