And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
