Open saved chapters

For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave.

Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.

I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.

He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;

and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions'] whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. Pause.

My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.

Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.

O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the .

For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
