<> Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise

They compassed me about also with words of hatred and fought against me without a cause.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath and let the strangers spoil his labour.

Let his posterity be cut off [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

That they may know that this [is] thy hand [that] thou, LORD, hast done it.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.

<> The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment all his commandments [are] sure.

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor his righteousness endureth for ever his horn shall be exalted with honour.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
