11 But I will talk of the God of Jacob : and | pra ise Him for ever.

12 All the horns of the ungodly also ❘ will I break and the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

N Jewry is | Go D known : his | Name is great in Israel.

:

2 At Salem is His tabernacle | and His O dwelling in Sion.

3 There brake He the

arrows of-the bow:

the shield, the sword, and-the battle.

4 Thou art of more | honour and might: than O the hills of-the robbers.

5 The proud are robbed, they have slept their sleep and all the men whose hands were mighty have found nothing.

6 At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob: both the chariot and horse are fallen.

7 Thou, even Thou, art to-be feared and who may stand in Thy | sight when Thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause Thy judgement to be | heard from heaven: the earth trembled, and was still,

9 When GOD arose to judgement and to help all-the meek upon earth.

10 The fierceness of man shall | turn to-Thy praise and the | fierceness of-them shalt Thourefrain.

:

11 Promise unto the LORD your God, and keep it, all ye that are | round about Him: bring presents unto Him that ought to-be feared.

:

12 He shall refrain the spirit of princes and is wonderful among the kings of-the earth.

I

WILL cry unto | God with-my voice: even unto God will I cry with my voice, and | He shall hearken unto me.

2 In the time of my trouble. I sought the LORD my sore ran, and ceased not in the nightseason; my soul refused comfort.

:

3 When I am in heaviness, I will think upon GOD when my heart is | vexed, I will-complain. 4 Thou holdest mine | eyes waking: I am so | feeble, that-I cannot speak.

[ocr errors]

5 I have considered the | days of old: | and the years that-are past.

6 I call to remembrance my song and in the night I commune with mine own heart, and | search out my spirits.

7 Will the LORD cast off for ever and will He be no more intreated?

8 Is His mercy clean | gone for ever: and is

His promise come utterly to an end for evermore?

9 Hath GOD for gotten to-be gracious: and will He shut up His | loving-kindness in-displeasure?

10 And I said, It is mine | own infirmity : but I will remember the years of the right | hand of the most Highest.

11 I will remember the works of-the LORD: and call to mind Thy | wonders of old time.

[ocr errors]

12 I will think also of | all Thy works: and my talking shall be of-Thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so | great a God as our GOD?

14 Thou art the GOD that doeth wonders: and hast declared Thy | power among the people.

15 Thou hast mightily delivered Thy people : even the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

16 The waters saw Thee, O GOD, the waters saw Thee, and were-afraid the depths were also troubled.

:

17 The clouds poured out water, the air thundered and Thine | arrows went abroad.

:

18 The voice of Thy thunder was heard | round about the lightnings shone upon the ground; the earth was moved, and shook withal.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and Thy paths in

the great waters and Thy footsteps are not known.

20 Thou leddest Thy people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

HEAR

[blocks in formation]

EAR my law, O my people: incline your ears unto the words of-my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in-a parable: I will declare hard sentences of old;

:

3 Which we have heard and known and | | such as-our fathers have told us ;

4 That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come: but to shew the honour of the LORD, His mighty and wonderful works that-He-hath done.

5 He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave | Israel a law which He commanded our forefathers-to teach their children;

:

:

6 That their posterity might know it and the children which-were yet unborn;

7 To the intent that when they came up : they might | shew their children the same;

8 That they might put their trust in GoD:

and not to forget the works of GOD, but to keep His-commandments;

9 And not to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit | cleaveth not stedfastly unto God;

10 Like as the children of Ephraim who being harnessed, and carrying bows, turned themselves back in-the day of battle.

11 They kept not the | covenant of GOD : and | would not walk in-His law;

:

12 But forgat what He-had done and the wonderful works that- He-had shewed for them.

13 Marvellous things did He in the sight of our forefathers, in the | land of Egypt | even in- 0 the field of Zoan.

:

14 He divided the sea, and let them go through He made the waters to stand on-an heap.

:

15 In the day-time also He led them with-a cloud and all the night | through with-a light of fire.

16 He clave the hard rocks in-the wilderness : and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of-the great depth.

17 He brought waters out of the | stony rock : so that it gushed out like-the rivers.
