I Chronicles Chapter 18

David Defeats His Enemies
1Ch 18:1  Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
1Ch 18:2  And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
1Ch 18:3  And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
1Ch 18:4  And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
1Ch 18:5  And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
1Ch 18:6  Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
1Ch 18:7  And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
1Ch 18:8  Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
1Ch 18:9  Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
1Ch 18:10  He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
1Ch 18:11  Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
1Ch 18:12  Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
1Ch 18:13  And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

David’s Administration
1Ch 18:14  So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
1Ch 18:15  And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
1Ch 18:16  And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
1Ch 18:17  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

Psalm Chapter 50

God Himself Is Judge
Psa 50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Psa 50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Psa 50:3  Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
Psa 50:4  He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Psa 50:5  Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6  And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
Psa 50:7  Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
Psa 50:8  I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
Psa 50:9  I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
Psa 50:10  For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11  I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
Psa 50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
Psa 50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Psa 50:14  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
Psa 50:15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Psa 50:16  But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
Psa 50:17  Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
Psa 50:18  When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
Psa 50:19  Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Psa 50:20  Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
Psa 50:21  These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Psa 50:22  Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Psa 50:23  Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Psalm Chapter 53

There Is None Who Does Good
Psa 53:1  To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Psa 53:2  God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Psa 53:3  Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psa 53:4  Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
Psa 53:5  There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
Psa 53:6  Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm Chapter 60

He Will Tread Down Our Foes
Psa 60:1  To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
Psa 60:2  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Psa 60:3  Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Psa 60:4  Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
Psa 60:5  That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
Psa 60:6  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Psa 60:7  Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Psa 60:8  Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
Psa 60:9  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Psa 60:10  Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
Psa 60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Psa 60:12  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm Chapter 65

O God of Our Salvation
Psa 65:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
Psa 65:2  O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Psa 65:3  Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Psa 65:4  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Psa 65:5  By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
Psa 65:6  Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
Psa 65:7  Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
Psa 65:8  They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Psa 65:9  Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
Psa 65:10  Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
Psa 65:11  Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
Psa 65:12  They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
Psa 65:13  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
