9. Thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: but hast set

my feet in a large room. 10. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble and mine eye is consumed for ve-ry hea-vi-ness; yea,

my soul and my body. 11. For my life is waxen old with heaviness:

and my years with mourning. 12. My strength faileth me, because of

mine iniquity and my bones are consumed. 13. I became a reproof

among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours : and they

of mine acquaintance were afraid of me; and they that did see me without

conveyed themselves from me.

14. I am clean forgotten, as a dead man

out of mind: I am become like a broken vessel. 15. For I have heard

the blasphemy of the multitude and fear is on every side, while they

conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

16. But my hope hath been in thee, O Lord I have said, Thou art my

God. 17. My time is in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine

+

enemies and from them that persecute me. 18. Shew thy servant the

light of thy countenance and save me for thy mercy's sake. 19. Let

me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee: let the

ungodly be put to confusion, and be put to silence in the grave.

22. Let

the lying lips be put to silence which cruelly, disdainfully, and despite

which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee and that thou hast

+

prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

22. Thou shalt hide them privily by thine own presence from the provoking

of all men thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the

strife of tongues.

23. Thanks be to the Lord for he hath shewed me

+

marvellous great kindness in a strong city.. 24. And when I made haste,

H

I said I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes. 25. Nevertheless,

thou heardest the voice of my prayer when I cried unto thee. 26. O

love the Lord, all ye his saints for the Lord preserveth them that are

+

faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer. 27. Be strong, and

he shall establish your heart all ye that put your trust in the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it

was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
