Psalms Chapter 8
King James Bible

3:1LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 3:2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3:3But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 3:4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 3:5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 3:6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 3:7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 3:8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

4:1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 4:2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 4:3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4:4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 4:5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 4:6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 4:7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 4:8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

5:1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 5:2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 5:3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 5:4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5:5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 5:6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 5:7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 5:8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 5:9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 5:10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 5:11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 5:12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

6:1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 6:2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 6:3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 6:4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. 6:5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6:6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 6:7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 6:8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 6:9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 6:10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

7:1O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 7:2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 7:3O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 7:4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 7:5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 7:6Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7:7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 7:8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 7:9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 7:10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 7:11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 7:12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 7:13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 7:14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 7:15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 7:16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 7:17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

8:1O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 8:2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 8:3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 8:4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 8:5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 8:6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 8:7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8:8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 8:9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

9:1I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 9:2I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 9:3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 9:4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 9:5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 9:6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 9:7But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 9:8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9:9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 9:10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 9:11Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 9:12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 9:13Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 9:14That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 9:15The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 9:16The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 9:17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 9:18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 9:19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 9:20Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

10:1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 10:2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 10:3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. 10:4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 10:5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 10:6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 10:7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 10:8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 10:9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10:10He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 10:11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. 10:12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 10:13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 10:14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 10:15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 10:16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 10:17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 10:18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

11:1In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 11:2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 11:3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 11:4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 11:5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 11:6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 11:7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

12:1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 12:2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 12:3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 12:4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 12:5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 12:6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 12:7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 12:8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

13:1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 13:2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 13:3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 13:4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 13:5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 13:6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

14:1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 14:2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 14:3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 14:4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 14:5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 14:6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 14:7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

15:1LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 15:2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 15:3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 15:4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 15:5He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

16:1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 16:2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; 16:3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 16:4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 16:5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 16:6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 16:7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 16:8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 16:9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 16:10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 16:11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

17:1Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 17:2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 17:3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 17:4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 17:5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 17:6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 17:7Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 17:8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 17:9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 17:10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 17:11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 17:12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 17:13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 17:14From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 17:15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

18:1I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 18:2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 18:3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 18:4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 18:5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 18:6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 18:7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 18:8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 18:9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 18:10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 18:11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 18:12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 18:13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 18:14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 18:15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 18:16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 18:17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18:18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 18:19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 18:20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 18:21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 18:22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 18:23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 18:24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 18:25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 18:26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 18:27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 18:28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 18:29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 18:30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 18:31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 18:32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 18:33He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 18:34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 18:35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 18:36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 18:37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 18:38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 18:39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 18:40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 18:41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 18:42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 18:43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 18:44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 18:45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 18:46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 18:47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 18:48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 18:49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 18:50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

19:1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 19:2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 19:3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 19:4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 19:5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 19:6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 19:7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 19:8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 19:9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 19:10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 19:11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 19:12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 19:13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 19:14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

20:1The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 20:2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 20:3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. 20:4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 20:5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. 20:6Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 20:7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 20:8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 20:9Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

21:1The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 21:2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 21:3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 21:4He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. 21:5His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 21:6For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 21:7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 21:8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 21:9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 21:10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 21:11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 21:12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 21:13Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

22:1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 22:2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 22:3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 22:4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 22:5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 22:6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 22:7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying, 22:8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 22:9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. 22:10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly. 22:11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 22:12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 22:13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 22:14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 22:15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 22:17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 22:18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 22:19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 22:20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 22:21Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 22:22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 22:23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 22:24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 22:25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 22:26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 22:27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 22:28For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations. 22:29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 22:30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 22:31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
