Psalms – Chapter 19

Old Testament10 Verses

1Unto the end. A psalm for David.

2May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

3May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

4May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burntoffering be made fat.

5May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

6We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

7The Lord fulfil all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

8Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord, our God.

9They are bound, and have fallen: but we are risen, and are set upright.

10O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
