6 For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the LORD?

7 And what is he among the gods that shall be like unto the LORD?

8 GOD is very greatly to be feared in the | council of-the saints and to be had in reverence of all them that-are round about Him.

9 O LORD GOD of hosts, who is like unto Thee Thy truth, most mighty LORD, every side.

10 Thou rulest the raging of-the sea: Thou stillest the waves thereof when they-arise.

11 Thou hast subdued Egypt, and destroyed it: Thou hast scattered Thine enemies a broad with-Thy mighty arm.

12 The heavens are Thine, the earth also-is Thine Thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is.

13 Thou hast made the north and-the south: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy Name. 14 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand.

15 Righteousness and equity are the habitation of-Thy seat mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.

16 Blessed is the people, O LORD, that can rejoice in Thee: they shall | walk in-the light ofThy countenance.

: 17 Their delight shall be | daily in-Thy Name : and in Thy righteousness | shall they make their boast.

18 For Thou art the glory of-their strength: and in Thy loving-kindness | Thou shalt lift up our horns.

19 For the LORD is our-defence: the Holy One of Israel is our King. |

20 Thou spakest sometime in visions unto Thy saints, and saidst : I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one | chosen out of-the people.

21 I have found | David My servant : with My holy oil have-I-anointed him.

22 My hand shall hold him fast: Mine | arm shall also strengthen him.

23 The enemy shall not be able to do him violence the son of | wickedness shall not hurt him.

:

24 I will smite down his foes before his face : and plague them that hate him.

25 My truth also and My mercy · shall | be with him and in My Name shall-his horn beexalted.

26 I will set his dominion also in the sea: and his right hand in the floods.

27 He shall call me, | Thou art-my FATHER: my God, and-my strong salvation.

28 And I will make him My | first-born: higher than the kings of-the earth.

29 My mercy will I keep for him for | evermore and My | covenant shall stand fast with him.

30 His seed also will I make to endure for ever and his throne as-the days of heaven. 31 But if his children for sake My law and walk not in My judgements;

:

32 If they break My statutes, and | keep not My-commandments: I will visit their offences with the rod, and their sin with scourges.

33 Nevertheless, My loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him nor | suffer My truth to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out-of My lips : I have sworn once by My holiness, that I will not fa il David. | 35 His seed shall endure for ever and his seat is like as-the sun before Me.

36 He shall stand fast for evermore | as the moon and as the faithful witness in heaven.

37 But Thou hast abhorred and for saken ThineAnointed and art displeased at him.

38 Thou hast broken the covenant of-Thy servant and cast his crown to-the ground.

39 Thou hast overthrown all his hedges : and broken down his strong holds.

40 All they that go by spoil him and he is become a-reproach to-his neighbours.

41 Thou hast set up the right | hand of-his enemies and made | all his adversaries to-rejoice. 42 Thou hast taken away the edge of-his sword and givest him-not victory in-the battle. 43 Thou hast put out his glory and | cast his-throne down to-the ground.

:

44 The days of his youth | hast Thou shortened and covered him with dishonour.

45 LORD, how long wilt Thou hide Thyself, | for ever and shall Thy | wrath burn like fire?

46 O remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou | made all men for nought? 47 What man is he that liveth, and | shall not see death and shall he deliver his | soul from-the hand of hell?

:

48 LORD, where are Thy old | loving-kindnesses: which Thou swarest unto David in-Thy truth?

49 Remember, LORD, the rebuke that Thy | servants have and how I do bear in my bosom the re bukes of many people;

50 Wherewith Thine enemies have blasphemed Thee, and slandered the footsteps of Thine Anointed Praised be the LORD for evermore. | Amen,-and Amen.

ORD, Thou hast | been our refuge from | one generation to-another.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made: Thou 1 art GOD from everlasting, and world without end. 3 Thou turnest | man to-destruction : again Thou sayest, Come again, ye children of men.

4 For a thousand years in Thy sight | are butas yesterday seeing that is past as-a watch in-the night.

5 As soon as Thou scatterest them they are even as-a sleep: and fade away | suddenly like the grass.

6 In the morning it is green, and | groweth up but in the evening it is cut down, | dried up, and withered.

7 For we consume away in | Thy displeasure: and are afraid at Thy | wrathful indignation.

8 Thou hast set our mis deeds before Thee : and our secret | sins in-the light of-Thy coun

tenance.

9 For when Thou art angry · all our | days are
