Psalms 26-30

Chapter 26

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 3 For Thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in Thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash mine hands in innocence: so will I compass Thine altar, O Lord: 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. 8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honor dwells. 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

Chapter 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. 5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. 7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 When Thou said, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 9 Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou has been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. 11 Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Chapter 28

Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord my Rock; be not silent to me: lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy oracle. 3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. 4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications. 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise Him. 8 The Lord is their strength, and He is the saving strength of His anointed. 9 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up forever.

Chapter 29

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the Lord is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yea, the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in His temple does everyone speak of His glory.

10 The Lord sits upon the flood; yea, the Lord sits King forever. 11 The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

Chapter 30

I will extol Thee, O Lord; for Thou has lifted me up, and has not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O Lord my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou has healed me. 3 O Lord, Thou has brought up my soul from the grave: Thou has kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. 5 For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 7 Lord, by Thy favor Thou has made my mountain to stand strong: Thou did hide Thy face, and I was troubled. 8 I cried to Thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication. 9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth? 10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be Thou my helper.

11 Thou has turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou has put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto Thee forever.

King James Version Bible. It was authorized by King James I. It was translated by the Church of England and was first published in 1611.

God’s words are in red letters, old and new testament, as it should be. It is in paragraph form for easy reading. With all verses numbers labeled in blue for quick reference.

The Apocrypha was in the original King James version of the Bible. It should never have been removed. At the time Jesus was on earth the old testament and the Apocrypha scriptures were studied.

All scripture is Jewish scripture, Judaism is a religion not an ethnicity. Jesus is the Savior of the Jews. He is the Head of the Church.
