6 The Lord alloweth the righteous but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickedneffe doth his foul abhorre.

2 They are corrupt and become abominable in their doings: there is not one that doth good,(no not one.)

3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men:to fee if there were a ny that would understand and seek after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is none that doth good,no not one.

5 Their throat is an open fepulchre, with their tongues have they deceived: the poison: of afps is under their lips.

3 All my delight is upon the faints that are in the earth:and upon fuch as excell in vertue. 4 But they that run after another god: shall have great trouble.

6 The Lord himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou shalt main tain my lot.

7 The lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground: yea,I have a goodly heritage.

8 I will thank the Lord for giving me warning my reins also chaften me in the night feafon.

Hplaint: and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

2 Let my fentence come forth from thy prefence: and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equall.

3 Thou haft proved and visited mine heart in the night feafon, thou haft tried me, and fhalt finde no wickedneffe in me : for I am ut terly purposed,that my mouth fhal not offend. 4 Because of mens works that are done against the words of my lips: I have kept me from the wayes of the destroyer.

5 O hold thou up my goings in thy paths: that my foot-steps flip not.

6 I have called upon thee, O God, for thou fhalt heare me: encline thine care to me, and hearken unto my words.

7 Shew thy marvellous loving kindnes,thou that art the Saviour of them which put their truft in thee: from fuch as refift 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 compaffe me round about, to take away my foul.

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

11 They lie waiting in our way on every fide: turning their eyes down to the ground. 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey: & as it were a lions whelp lurking in fecret places 13 Up Lord, difappoint him, and caft him down deliver my foul from the ungodly, which is a sword of thine,

:

14 From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I fay, and from the evil world: which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou filleft with thy hid treasure.

15 They have children at their defire: and leave the rest of their fubftance for their babes. 16 But as for me,I will behold thy presence in righteoufneffe: and when I awake up after thy likene ffe, I fhall be satisfied with it.

Will love thee (O Lord) my Evening ftrength, the Lord is my ftony rock prayer. and my defence: my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will truft,my buckler, the horn alfo of my falvation,and my refuge.

3 The forrows of death compaffed me:and the overflowings of ungodlinefle made me afraid.

4 The pains of hell came about me: the fnares of death overtook me.

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

6 So fhall he heare my voice out of his holy temple and my complaint fhall come before him,it fhall enter even into his cares. 7 The earth trembled and quaked the ve foundations alfo of the hills thook and were removed,because he was wroth.

8 There went a fmoke out of his prefence: and a confuming fire out of his mouth,fo that coals were kindled at it.

9 He bowed the heavens alfo and came down: and it was dark under his feet,

10 He rode upon the cherubims,& did flic: he came flying upon the wings of the winde.

II He made darkneffe his fecret place: his pavilion round about him, with dark water, and thick clouds to cover him.

12 At the brightneffe of his prefence his clouds removed: hailstones and coals of fire. 13 The Lord alfo thundered out of heaven, and the highest gave his thunder: hailftones and coals of fire.

14 He fent out his arrows and scattered them: he caft forth lightnings and deftroyed them.

15 The fprings of waters were feen, and the foundations of the round world were dif. covered at thy chiding, O Lord: at the blasting of the breath of thy difpleasure,

16. He fhall fend down from the high to fetch me: & shall take me out of many waters. 17. He fhall deliver me from my ftrongest enemy, and from them that 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 alfo into a place of liberty; he brought me forth, even because he had a favour unto me,

10 The Lord fhall reward me after my righteous dealing: according to the cleannefle of my hands fhall he recompenfe me.

21 Because I have kept the wayes of the Lord and have not forfaken my God as the wicked doth.

:

26 With the clean thou shalt be clean: and with the froward thou shalt learn frowardneffe.

27 For thoufhalt fave the people that are in adverfity: and fhalt bring down the high looks of the proud,

28 Thou shalt alfo light my candle: the Lord my God fhall make my darkneffe to be light.

29 For in thee I fhall difcomfit an hoft of men and with the help of my God I shall leap over the wall.

30 The way of God is an undefiled way: the word of the Lord alfo is tried in the fire, he is the defender of all them that put their trust in him.

31. For who is God but the Lord: or who hath any strength except our God?

32 It is God that girdeth me with ftrength of warre:and maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like harts feet: and fetteth me up on high.

34 He teacheth mine hands to fight and mine arms fhall break even a bow of steel.

35 Thou haft given me the defence of thy falvation: thy right hand alfo fhall hold me up, and thy loving correction fhall make me great.

36 Thou shalt make room enough under me for to go: that my footsteps fhall not flide. 37 I will follow upon mine enemies, and overtake them: neither will I turn again till I have destroyed them.

38 Iwill fmite them, that they fhall not be able to stand: but fall under my feet. 39 Thou haft girded me with ftrength unto the battell: thou shalt throw down mine ene mies under nie.

40 Thou haft made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me: and I fhall destroy them that hate me.

41 They hall cry, but there fhall be none to help them: yea, even unto the Lord fhall they cry,but he thall not heare them.

42 I will beat them as fmall as the duft before the winde: I will caft them out as the clay in the streets.

43 Thou shalt deliver me from the ftrivings of the people: and thou shalt make me the head of the heathen.

44 A people whom I have not known: fhall ferve me.

45 Affoon as they heare of me, they fhallobey me but the ftrange children shall dif femble with me.

46 The ftrange children fhall fail: and be afraid out of their prifons.

47 The Lord liveth,& bleffed be my ftrong helper: & praised be the God of my falvation. 48 Even the God that feeth that I be

avenged:

and the ftrings of thy bow fhalt thou make ready against the face of them.

13 Be thou exalted Lord in thine own ftrength:fo will we fing and praise thy power.

Y God, my God, (look upon me) why haft thou forfaken me: and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my complaint.

2 O my God, I cry in the day time,but thou heareft not; and in the night feafon alfo I take no reft.

3 And thou continuest holy: O thou worhip of Ifrael.

4 Our fathers hoped in thee: they trufted in thee,and thou didst deliver them.

They called upon thee,and were holpen: they put their truft in thee, and were not confounded.

6 But as for me,I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men, and the outcaft of the people.

7 All they that fee me,laugh me to fcorn: they fhoot out their lips, and shake their heads,laying,

8 He trufted 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 mothers wombe: thou waft my hope when I hanged yet upon my mothers breafts.

10 I have been left unto thee ever fince I was born: thou art my God, even from my mothers wombe.

1 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 Balan clofe me in on every side. 13 They gape upon me with their mouthes: as it were a ramping and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are our of joynt: my heart also in the midit of my body is even like melting wax.

15 My ftrength is dried up like a pot fheard, and my tongue cleaveth to my gummes and thou shalt bring me into the duft of death,

16 For (many) dogs are come about me: and the counfel of the wicked.layeth fiege against me.

17 They pierced my hands and my feet, I may tell all my bones: they stand staring and looking upon me,

Lord: thou art my fuccour, hafte thee to help

me.

20 Deliver my foul from the fword: my darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lions mouth : thou haft heard me also from among the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midft of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 Opraife the Lord ye that fear him: magnifie him all ye of the feed of Jacob, and fear him all ye feed of Ifrael.

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the low eftate of the poore, he hath not hid his face from him: but when he called unto him, he heard him.

25 My praife is of thee in the great congregation: my vows will I perform in the fight of them that fear him.

26 The poore fhall eat and be fatisfied: they that feek after the Lord, shall praise him, your heart fhall live for ever.

27 All the ends of the world fhall remember themselves, and be turned unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worfhip before him,

28 For the kingdome is the Lords: and he is the governour among the people.

29 All fuch as be fat upon earth:have eaten and worshipped.

30 All they that go down into the duft fhall kneel before him and no man hath quickned his own foul.

:

31 My feed fhall ferve him they shall be counted unto the Lord for a generation.

32 They fhall come, and the heavens shall declare his righteoufneffe: unto a people that fhall be born,whom the Lord hath made.
