They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

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.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

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.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
