July 26

3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, With thy glory and thy majesty. 4And in thy majesty ride prosperously Because of truth and meekness and righteousness; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5Thine arrows are sharp In the heart of the king's enemies; Whereby the people fall under thee. 6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 9Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: For he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; Even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 13The king's daughter is all glorious within: Her clothing is of wrought gold. 14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: The virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: They shall enter into the king's palace.

16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8Come, behold the works of the LORD, What desolations he hath made in the earth. 9He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

5God is gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 7For God is the King of all the earth: Sing ye praises with understanding. 8God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 9The princes of the people are gathered together, Even the people of the God of Abraham: For the shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.

4For lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 5They saw it, and so they marvelled; They were troubled, and hasted away. 6Fear took hold upon them there, And pain, as of a woman in travail. 7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 8As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

9We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple. 10According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness. 11Let mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah be glad, Because of thy judgments.

12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. 13Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; That ye may tell it to the generation following. 14For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? 6They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him: 8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, And it ceaseth for ever:) 9That he should still live for ever, And not see corruption.

10For he seeth that wise men die, Likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, And leave their wealth to others. 11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names. 12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish. 13This their way is their folly: Yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: For he shall receive me. Selah.

16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased; 17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: His glory shall not descend after him. 18Though whiles he lived he blessed his soul: And men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light. 20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
