Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
