Bible in Basic English

2

Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.

3

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

4

Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

5

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

6

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

7

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

8

The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.

9

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.

“Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus. And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns. The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades. The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory. The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever. The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace. ”
