27. BOW down thine ear, O | Lo-rd, | hear me : servant-that | Be merciful unto | me,- O Lord: For unto thee, O Lord, | do-I | lift up-my | soul. For thou, Lord,-art | good, And plenteous—in | mercy Unto all them-that call-up on thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto-my prayer; cations. In the day of my trouble I will | call-up | on thee; For thou-wilt | an-swer Among the gods me. There is none like-unto | thee,—O | Lord : Neither are there | a-ny | works Like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee,-O | Lord; And shall glo-ri | fy-thy | name. For thou art great, and doest | won—drous | things: Th|ou-art | God—a | lone. Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk inthy truth: Unite my heart-to| fear-thy | name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with | all— my heart: And I will glorify thy | name-for | ev-er | more. For great is thy | mer-cy | toward me : And thou hast delivered my soul-from the | low-est | hell. O God, the proud are | risen-against me, And the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not-set | theebefore them. But thou,-0 | Lord, Art a God full of compassion,-and | gracious, Long suffering, And plenteous-in mercy-and truth. O turn-unto | me, And have mer— cy-up on me; Show me a token-for | good; That they which hate me may see it,—and | be-a shamed: Because, thou, | Lord, Hast holpen | me,-and | comfort-ed | me. 28. HOW amiable | are-thy | tabernacles, My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth, for the | courts of the Lord: My heart and my flesh crieth | out-for the | liv-ing | God. Yea, the sparrow hath | found-an | house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where | she— may | lay-her | young, Even thine altars, O Lord-of | hosts, Blessed are they that dwell in-thy house: Who passing through the valley of Baca, | make it-a | well; The rain | al-so | filleth-the | pools. O Lord God of hosts, | hear-my | prayer; Behold, O God,-our | shield, And look upon the | face-of thine-a | nointed. | For a day in-thy | courts Is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of— my God, Than to dwell-in the | tents-of | wickedness. For the Lord God is a | sun-and | shield: The Lord will-give | grace-and | glory : No good thing will he withhold from them that | wa-lk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the | man—that | trusteth-in thee. 29. LORD, thou hast been favourable | untothy land: Thou hast brought | back the-captivityof Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity-of thy | people; Thou hast cover-ed | all-their | sin. Thou hast taken away | all-thy | wrath: Thou hast turned thyself from the [ fierce-ness | of-thine anger. Turn us, O God of our-sal | vation, And cause thine | an-ger | toward us-to | cease. Wilt thou be angry with us-for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine | anger-to | allgenerations? Wilt thou not revive | us-a | gain: That thy people | may-re | joice-in | thee? Show us thy mercy,-O | Lord, What God-the | Lord-will speak: For he will speak peace unto his people, and tohis saints: But let them not | turn- -again-to | folly. Surely his salvation is nigh them—that fear him; That glory-may dwell in-our land. | Mercy and truth are met-together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring | out of the earth; And righteousness | shall-look | down-from | heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that-which is good; |
