BRAGADAYJAH 1545 Psalm 145 A Psalm of David Verses 11- 21. Praise to a Gracious God They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou giveth them their meat in due season. Thou openeth thine hand, and satisfieth the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him; but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever.

BRAGADAYJAH 1544 Psalm 145. A Psalm of David Praise to the gracious God. I will extol thee, my God, O King; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Everyday will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts; and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all; and His tender mercies are over all of His works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

BRAGADAYJAH 1546

BRAGADAYJAH 1546 Psalm 144 A Psalm of David Verses 9 15. A Psalm of Trust I will sing a new song unto thee, O God; on a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. It is He that giveth salvation unto kings; who delivereth David His servant from the hurtful sword. Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood; that our sons may be as plant grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as cornerstones, published after the the similitude of a palace; that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in out streets; that our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaing in our street. Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

BRAGADAYJAH 1542

BRAGADAYJAH 1542 Psalm 144. A Psalm of David Verses 1-8 A Psalm of Trust Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight; my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. Lord, what is man, that thou taketh knowledge of him! Or the son of man, that thou maketh account of him! Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heaven, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightening, and scatter them; shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. Send thy hand from above; rid me, and deliver me, out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right is the tight hand of falsehood.

BRAGADAYJAH 1541

BRAGADAYJAH 1541 Psalm 143 A Psalm of David Confident appeal for help Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications; in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy has persecute my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore, is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate in all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee; my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit faileth; hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies; I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of unrighteousness. Quicken me O Lord, for thy name’s sake, for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble; and of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.

BRAGADAYJAH 1540

BRAGADAJAH 1540 Psalm 142 A Psalm of David An experience of Deliverence A Prayer when He was in the Cave I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou kneweth my path. In the way wherein I walked, have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me; refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord; I said, thou are my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors; for thy are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me

BRAGADAYJAH 1539

BRAGADAYJAH 1539 Psalm 141 APsalm of David Lord I cry unto thee, make haste unto me, give ear unto my voice when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch O Lord, before my mouth keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity and let me not eat their dainties. Let the righteous smite me, it shall be kindness and let him reprove me it shall be excellent oil which shall not break my head for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities .When their judges are overthrown in stony places they shall hear my words for they are sweet. Our bones are scattered at the graves mouth, as when one quitteth and cleave but mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord; into thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
