of my mother's womb; my praise shall-be always of Thee.

many but my su re trust is-in Thee.

70. let my mouth be filled with-Thy praise: that I may sing of Thy glory and honour | all the da y long.

8 Cast me not away in the | time of age : forsake me not when my strength faileth me.

9 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that lay wait for my soul take their | counsel together saying, God hath forsaken him; persecute him, and take him, for there-is none todeliver him.

10 Go not far from me, O GOD: my Go D, haste Thee to help me.

11 Let them be confounded and perish that are against my soul: let them be covered with shame and dishonour that seek to do me evil.

12 As for me, I will patiently albi de alway: and will praise Thee more and more.

13 My mouth shall daily speak of Thy | righteousness and-salvation: for I know no end thereof.

14 I will go forth in the strength of the | Lor D GOD: and will make mention of | Thy righteousness only.

15 Thou, O GOD, hast taught me from my

youth up until now : therefore will I tell of-Thy wondrous works.

16 Forsake me not, O GOD, in mine old age, when I am gra^y-headed until I have showed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to all them that-are yet for-to come.

17 Thy righteousness, O GOD, is | very high : and great things are they that Thou hast done; O GOD, who is like unto Thee?

18 0 what great troubles and adversities hast Thou showed me! and yet didst Thou turn andrefresh me yea, and broughtest me from the | deep of-the earth again.

19 Thou hast brought me to great honour: and comforted me on every side.

20 Therefore will I praise Thee and Thy faithfulness, O God, playing upon an | instrument of music: unto Thee will I sing upon the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel.

21 My lips will be fain when I sing unto Thee and so will my soul whom Thou hastdelivered.

:

22 My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the-day long for they are confounded and brought unto shame that seek to do me evil.

IVE the King Thy judgements, | O^ GOD :

GIVE

and Thy righteousness unto-the King's son. 2 Then shall He judge Thy people according unto right and defend the poor.

3 The mountains also shall | bring peace : and the little hills | righteousness unto the people.

4 He shall keep the simple folk | by their right defend the children of the poor, and | punish the wrong doer.

5 They shall fear Thee, as long as the sun and | moon endureth from one generation to-another.

6 He shall come down fleece of wool: even as the earth.

7 In His time shall the

like the rain into a | drops that water the

righteous flourish :

yea, and abundance of peace, so long as-the moon endureth.

8 His dominion shall be also from the one sea to-the other and from the flood unto-the world's end.

:

9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall | kneel before Him: His enemies shall lick the dust.

10 The kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall |

give presents the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts.

13 He shall be favourable to the simple and needy and shall preserve the souls of-the poor. 14 He shall deliver their souls from | falsehood and wrong and dear shall their blood | be in His sight.

15 He shall live, and unto Him shall be given. of the gold of-Arabia: prayer shall be made ever unto Him, and daily shall He be praised.

16 There shall be an heap of corn in the earth, high upon-the hills: His fruit shall shake like Libanus, and shall be green in the city like | grass upon the earth.

17 His Name shall endure for ever; His Name shall remain under the sun among theposterities which shall be blessed through Him; and all the heathen shall praise Him.

:

18 Blessed be the LORD GOD, even the God of Israel which only doeth wondrous things;

19 And blessed be the Name of His Majesty for ever and all the earth shall be filled with His Majesty. Amen, Amen.

TRULY

JLY GOD is loving unto Israel: even unto such as are of-a clean heart.

2 Nevertheless, my feet were almost gone: my treadings had well-nigh slipt.

3 And why? I was grieved at-the wicked: I do also see the ungodly in such prosperity.

4 For they are in no | peril of death: but are lusty and strong.

:

5 They come in no misfortune like other folk neither are they plagued like other men. 6 And this is the cause that they are so holden with pride and overwhelmed with cruelty.

7 Their eyes swell with fatness: and they do even what they lust.

8 They corrupt other, and speak of | wicked blasphemy their talking is against the most High.

9 For they stretch forth their mouth unto the heaven and their tongue | goeth through the world.

10 Therefore fall the people unto them : and thereout suck they no small advantage.

11 Tush, say they, how should | God perceive it is there knowledge in-the most High?
