ing my reins also | chasten me in-the night

season.

9 I have set GOD | always before me for He is on my right hand, therefore I shall not fall.

10 Wherefore my heart was glad, and my| glory rejoiced my flesh also-shall rest in hope. 11 For why? Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell neither shalt Thou suffer Thy | Holy One to see corruption.

:

12 Thou shalt show me the path of life : in Thy presence is the fulness of joy, at Thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore.

HE

EAR the right, O LORD, consider my-complaint and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

2 Let my sentence come forth from-Thy presence and let Thine eyes look upon-the thing that-is equal.

3 Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night-season; Thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness in me: for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not offend.

4 Because of men's works, that are done against the words of-Thy lips: I have kept-me from-the ways of-the-destroyer.

5 O hold Thou up my goings in-Thy paths: that my footsteps slip not.

6 I have called upon Thee, O God, for Thou shalt hear me incline Thine ear to me, and | hearken unto my words.

7 Show Thy marvellous loving-kindness, Thou that art the Saviour of them which | put their trust in Thee from such as resist Thy right hand.

8 Keep me as the apple of-an eye: hide me | under the shadow of-Thy wings.

9 From the ungodly that trouble me: mine enemies compass me round about to take away my soul.

10 They are inclosed in their own fat : and their mouth speaketh proud things.

11 They lie waiting in our way on every side: turning their eyes down to-the ground;

12 Like as a lion that is greedy of-his prey : and as it were a lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.

13 Up, LORD, disappoint him, and cast him down: deliver my soul from the ungodly, whichis-a sword of Thine;

:

14 From the men of Thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world which have their portion in this life, whose bellies Thou | fillest with-Thy hid treasure.

and

15 They have children at-their-desire leave the rest of their substance for their babes. 16 But as for me, I will behold Thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after Thy likeness, I shall-be satisfied with it.

I

WILL love Thee, O Lord, my strength: the LORD is my stony rock, and my defence; my SAVIOUR, MY GOD, and my might, in Whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge.

2 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to-be praised so shall I be safe from mine enemies.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me and the overflowings of ungodliness made-me afraid. 4 The pains of hell | came about me: the snares of death overtook me.

5 In my trouble I will call upon-the LORD: and complain unto my God.

6 So shall He hear my voice out of His | holy temple: and my complaint shall come before Him, it shall enter even into His ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked the very

foundations also of the hills shook, and were removed, because He-was wroth.

8 There went out a smoke in-His presence: and a consuming fire out of His mouth, so that | coals were kindled at it.

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down and it was dark under His feet.

:

10 He rode upon the cherubims, and did fly: He came flying upon-the wings of-the wind.

11 He made darkness. His secret place: His pavilion round about Him with dark water, and| thick clouds to cover Him.

12 At the brightness of His presence His | clouds removed: | hail-stones, and coals of fire.

13 The LORD also thundered out of heaven, and the Highest gave His thunder :| hail-stones, and coals of fire.

14 He sent out His arrows, and scattered them: He cast forth lightnings, and-destroyed them.

15 The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered, at Thy chiding, O LORD: at the blasting of the| breath of Thy displeasure.

16 He shall send down from on high to fetch me and shall take me out-of many waters.

:

17 He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them which hate me for they are too mighty for me.

:

18 They prevented me in the day of-my trouble but the Lord was my upholder.

19 He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: He brought me forth, even because He | had a favour unto me.

20 The LORD shall reward me after my righteous dealing : according to the cleanness of-my hands shall-He recompense me.

21 Because I have kept the ways of-the LORD: and have not forsaken my GoD, as the wicked doth.

22 For I have an eye unto all His laws: and will not cast out His-commandments from me. 23 I was also uncorrupt before Him

es chewed mine own wickedness.

and

24 Therefore shall the LORD reward me after my righteous dealing and according unto the | cleanness of-my hands in-His eyesight.

:

:

25 With the holy thou shalt-be holy and with a perfect man | thou shalt be perfect.

:

26 With the clean | thou shalt-be clean and with the froward | thou shalt learn frowardness. 27 For Thou shalt save the people · that | are in-adversity and shalt bring down the high looks of-the proud.

:

28 Thou also shalt | light my candle the LORD my GoD shall make my darkness to-be light.
