link to the Jerusalem Bible

I couldn't find a direct link to the Jerusalem Bible.  I could find the New Jerusalem Bible online, but I haven't been using that version, so far.  Here, however is the best I could do for the Jerusalem Bible.  This should take you to the psalms in the Jerusalem Bible.  Can't say I'm not trying!

links to Bible Versions online

In previous blogs, I have cited the version of the Bible where I found the psalm I copied.  It occurs to me that I was remiss in not giving the link to the Bible version in the blog entry.  In an attempt to remedy this, in the future, I'll try to provide those links each time I copy a psalm.
To show good faith, here's one, at least:
Here's the King James Version.
If I were more computer savvy, I'd go back and put the links in the previously published blogs. I'll do that if & when I learn how.

Lenten Lament Individual 3

Psalm 5 (King James Version) To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, a Psalm of David
1.  Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3.  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up,

4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5.  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6.  Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody an deceitful man.

7.  But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy; and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8.  Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9.  For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre;  they flatter with their tongue.
10. Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice; let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Lenten Laments Individual 2

Psalm 4 (Revised Standard Version)
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.  A Psalm of David
1. Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
Thou hast given me room when I was in distress,
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
2,  O men, how long shall my honour suffer shame?
How  long will you love vain words,
and seek after lies?  Selah

3.  But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4.  Be angry, but sin not;
commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.  Selah
5.  Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.
6.  There are many who say, "O that we might see some good!"
Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord!"

7.  Thou hast put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8.  In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety.

Lenten Laments

This is the first blog entry for my meditation on the psalms.  I will be writing my comments on each psalm as it relates to the season in the subject line. 
There are many psalms that are categorized by theologians as "Lamentations".  My intent is to study these first of all, as this is the largest category.
