blessings of goodness and shalt set a crown of pure gold upon his head. 4 He asked life of Thee, and Thou gavest him. a | long life: | even for ever and ever. 5 His honour is great in | Thy salvation : glory and great worship | shalt Thou lay upon him. 6 For Thou shalt give him ever lasting felicity : and make him glad with-the joy of-Thy coun tenance. 7 And why? because the King putteth his | trust in-the LORD: and in the mercy of the most | Highest he shall not miscarry. 8 All Thine enemies shall feel Thy hand : Thy right hand shall | find out them that hate Thee. 9 Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of-Thy wrath: the LORD shall destroy them in His dis pleasure, and-the fire shall-consume them. 10 Their fruit shalt Thou | root out-of-the earth and their seed from among the children of men. : 11 For they intended | mischief against Thee : and imagined such a device as they are not able to-perform. 12 Therefore shalt Thou | put them to flight: and the strings of Thy bow shalt Thou make | ready against the face of them. 13 Be Thou exalted, LORD, in Thine | own strength so will we | sing, and praise Thy power. MY GOD, my GOD, look upon me; | why hast Thou-forsaken me: and art so far from my health, and from the words of my complaint? no rest. 3 And Thou continuest holy : |O Thou worship O of Israel. 4 Our fathers | hoped in Thee: they trusted in Thee, and Thou didst deliver them. 5 They called upon Thee, and were holpen : they put their trust in Thee, and were not confounded. 6 But as for me, I am a worm, and | n^o man : a very scorn of men, and the outcast of-the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and | shake their heads, saying, 8 He trusted in GoD, that | He would-deliver him let Him deliver him, if He-will have him. : 9 But Thou art He that took me out of my | mother's womb Thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet up on my mother's breasts. 10 I have been left unto Thee ever | since Iwas born Thou art my GOD | even from my mother's womb. 11 Ogo not from me, for trouble is hard at hand and there is none to help me. : 12 Many oxen are | come about me: fat bulls of Basan close me | in on every side. 13 They gape upon me with their mouths: as it were a ramping and-a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue | cleaveth to-my gums: and Thou shalt bring me into-the dust of death. 16 For many dogs are come about me: and the council of the wicked | layeth siege against me. 17 They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones they stand | staring and looking upon me. 18 They part my garments among them : and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not Thou far from me, O LORD: Thou art my succour, | haste Thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from-the sword: my| darling from-the power of-the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth: Thou hast heard me also from among the horns of-the unicorns. 22 I will declare Thy Name | unto my brethren : in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee. 23 O praise the LORD, | ye that fear Him: magnify Him, all ye of the seed of Jacob, and fear Him, | all ye seed of Israel; 24 For He hath not despised, nor abhorred, the low estate of-the poor: He hath not hid His face from him, but when he called unto-Him He heard him. 25 My praise is of Thee in the | great congregation my vows will I perform in the | sight of them that fear Him. 26 The poor shall eat, and-be satisfied: they that seek after the LORD shall praise Him; your heart shall live for ever. : 27 All the ends of the world shall remember themselves, and be turned unto-the LORD and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Him. 28 For the kingdom | is the LORD's: and He is the Governour among the people. 29 All such as be fat upon earth: have eaten and worshipped. 80 All they that go down into the dust · shall | kneel before Him and no man hath | quickened his own soul. : 31 My seed shall serve Him: they shall be counted unto the Lord for-a generation. 32 They shall come, and the heavens shall declare His righteousness: unto a people that shall be born, whom the Lord hath made. THE HE LORD | is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. 2 He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. 3 He shall convert my soul and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, | for His Name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me; Thy | rod and-Thy staff comfort me. 5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall-be full. 6 But Thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the | days of-my life and I will dwell in the house of-the Lord for ever. |
