and multiplied his seed as a flock.

The righteous shall see and rejoice: and all wickedness shall be shut up.

Who is wise, and keepeth these things? Then shall they know how many benefits the LORD
hath bestowed.
The 108th Psalm (^)
David’s thanksgiving and prayer for installation into the kingdom.

a psalm song of David.

God, I am in earnest; I will sing and write, my glory also.
Come, psalteries and harps! I will be up early.

I will give thee thanks, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praise unto thee among the people.

For thy mercy reacheth as far as the heavens, and thy truth as far as the clouds go.

Exalt yourself, O God, above the heavens, and your glory above all the earth, 7. That thy dear friends may be done. Help with thy right hand, and hear me.

God speaketh in his sanctuary: I am glad, and will divide Shechem, and measure the valley of Shushoth.

Gilead is mine, Manasseh also is mine, and Ephraim is the power of my head; Judah is my prince,

Moab is my washing-pot; I will stretch out my shoe upon Edom; upon the Philistines will I exult.

Who will lead me into a strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?

Wilt thou not do it, O God, which hast cast us off, and wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our host?

give us help in trouble, for the help of men is of no avail.

With God we will do deeds. He will trample under our enemies.
The 109th Psalm (^)
Prophecy of Judas and the Jews committing unfaithfulness to Christ, and their curse.

a psalm of David, to be sung. God, my glory, do not be silent!

For they have opened their ungodly and false mouths against me, and have spoken against me with a false tongue.

And they speak evil against me in every place, and fight against me without a cause.

For that I love them, they are against me: but I pray.

they prove me evil for good, and hate for love.

Set the wicked over him; and let Satan stand at his right hand.

Whosoever shall be taught the same, that his life must be ungodly, and his prayer sin.

Let his days be few, and let another receive his office.

His children shall be orphans, and his wife a widow.

His children must go astray, begging and seeking, as those that are corrupt.

Let the usurer suck out all that he hath; and let strangers rob his goods.

And let no man do him good, neither let any man have pity on his fatherless.

His seed must be cut off; their name must be destroyed in the other generation.

Let his father’s iniquity be remembered before the LORD, and let not his mother’s sin be blotted out.

Let the LORD never take them out of his sight, and let their remembrance be cut off from the earth,

Because he had no mercy at all, but persecuted the wretched, and the poor, and him that was afflicted, to put him to death.

And he would have the curse, and it shall come upon him: but he would not have the blessing, and it shall be far from him.

And he put on the curse like his shirt; and it went into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.

Let it be unto him as a garment to be put on, and as a girdle to be girded withal.

So be it done unto them of the LORD that are against me, and speak evil against my soul.

But thou, O Lord, be thou with me for thy name’s sake: for thy mercy is my consolation: save me.

For I am poor and wretched; my heart is slain within me.

I pass away as a shadow that is driven away, and am chased away as the locusts.

My knees are weak from fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fat.

And I must be their mockery: when they see me, they shake their heads.

Help me, O LORD my God; help me according to thy mercy,

That they may know that this is thy hand, that thou, O Lord, doest these things.

If they curse, bless thou. If they set themselves against me, they shall be put to shame: but let thy servant rejoice.

My adversaries must be clothed with shame, and be clothed with their shame as with a garment.

I will give great thanks unto the LORD with my mouth, and will praise him among many; 31. For he standeth at the right hand of the poor, to save him from them that condemn his life.

He shall drink of the brook by the way: therefore shall he lift up his head.

For he shall abide for ever: the righteous shall never be forgotten.

If a plague come, he feareth not: his heart hopeth in the LORD without fear.

His heart is confident, and fears not, till he see his delight in his enemies.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved: he shall gnash his teeth, and perish. For what the
wicked would have, that is lost.

praised.

Who raiseth up the lowly out of the dust, and exalteth the poor out of the dung, 8. To set him beside the princes, beside the princes of his people; 9. Who maketh the barren to dwell in the house, that she may be a joyful mother of children.
Hallelujah!
The 114th Psalm (^)
From execution of the children of Israel out of Egypt.

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob out of the strange nation, 2. Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

The sea saw, and fled: Jordan turned back;

The mountains skipped like lambs, the hills like young sheep.

What was thine, O sea, that thou fledst? and thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back; 6. Ye mountains, that ye should leap like lambs; ye hills, like young sheep?

Before the LORD the earth worshippeth, before the God of Jacob, 8. Who changed the rock into a lake of water, and the stones into fountains of water.
The 115th Psalm (^)
Rejection of idolatry and idolatry

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory for thy mercy and truth.
2.Why should the Gentiles say, Where is now their God?

But our God is in heaven; He can create what He wills.

And those idols are silver and gold, made with men’s hands.

They have mouths, and speak not; they have eyes, and see not; 6. They have ears, and hear not; they have noses, and smell not; 7. They have hands, and they grasp not; they have feet, and they walk not, nor speak through their throats.

They that make them are like unto them, and all that hope in them.

But Israel hopeth in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

The house of Aaron hope in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

They that
