[ocr errors]

The wicked borroweth, and payeth | not-a | gain :

But the righteous | shew-eth | mercy,—and | giveth.

For such as be blessed of him shall in | herit— the earth;

And they that be cursed of | him-shall | be— cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered | by—the | Lord:

And he de light-eth | in-his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly-cast | down:

For the Lord upholdeth | h-im | with-his | hand.

I have been young, and now-am | old ;
Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor
his | se-ed | begging | bread.

He is ever merciful-and lendeth:
And-his seed-is | blessed.
l

Depart from evil, | and-do | good;
And dwell-for ev-er | more.

For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh | not-his saints;

They are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wick-ed | shall be-cut | off.

The righteous shall in | herit-the | land,

And dwell-there | in-for ever.

|i

The mouth of the righteous | speak-eth | wisdom,

And his tongue | talketh-of | judgment.

;

The law of his God is | in-his | heart
None--of his | steps-shall | slide.
The wicked watcheth-the | righteous,
And seeketh-to | slay him.

The Lord will not leave him | in-his | hand, Nor condemn-him | when he―is | judged. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit-the land: I When the wicked are cut-off, thou-shalt | see it.

[ocr errors]

I have seen the wicked in | gre—at | power,
And spreading him | self-like a | green-bay |

tree.

Yet he passed away, and | lo,—he | was not : Yea, I sought him, but he could | not—be | found.

Mark the perfect man, and be | hold—the | upright : For the end-of that | man-is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed-to | gether:

The end of the | wick-ed | shall be—cut | off.

But the salvation of the righteous | is of-the | Lord :

He is their strength-in the | time-of | trouble. And the Lord shall help them, | and—de | liver them;

He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they | trust-in | him,

HEAR this, all-ye | people:

Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: both low and high, rich-and | poor,-together. My mouth shall speak-of wisdom; |

And the meditation of my heart shall | be of-under | standing.

I will incline mine | ear-to a | parable :

I will open my dark | saying-up | on-the | harp.

Wherefore should I fear in the | days-of evil, When the iniquity of my heels shall | compass me about?

They that trust in their | wealth,

And boast themselves in the | multi-tude | of-their riches;

None of them can by any means re | deem— his brother,

Nor give to | God—a | ran—som | for him :

(For the redemption of their

precious,

And-it ceaseth-for | ever :)

That he should still | live-for | ever,
And no-t | see-cor | ruption.

soul-is |

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish | per-son | perish,

And leave-their wealth-to | others. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to | all-generations;

They call their lands-after | their own |

names.

Nevertheless man being in honour a | bid—eth | not:

He is like the | beasts-that | perish.
This their way-is their | folly:

Yet their posterity-approve—their | sayings.

Like sheep they are | laid-in the grave:
Death-shall | fe-ed on them;

And the upright shall have dominion over them | in—the morning;

And their beauty shall con | sume-in the | grave-from their | dwelling.

But God will redeem my soul from the powerof the grave:

For he shall-receive me.

[ocr errors]

Be not thou afraid when one is—made | rich, When the glory-of his | house-is in | creased;

For when he dieth he shall carry | nothingaway:

His glory shall not des | cen-d | after | him. Though while he lived he | blessed-his | soul: And men will praise thee, when thou | do-est | well-to thyself.

He shall go to the generation of his | fathers:

They-shall | never-see | light.

Man that is in honour, and under-standeth | not,

Is like the beasts-that | perish.

MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all-ye |

lands:

[ocr errors]

Sing forth the honour | of-his | name :
Make his prai-se | glorious.

Say unto God, how terrible | art-thou | inthy works!

[ocr errors]

Through the greatness of thy power

Shall thine enemies submit themselves | un-to thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall | sing-unto thee;

They shall si-ng | to-thy | name.

Come and see the works-of | God:

[ocr errors]

He is terrible in his doing toward-the | children-of men.

He turned the sea | into-dry | land:
They went through the | flood-on | foot:

There did we re | joice-in | him.

He ruleth | by his | power-for | ever:

His eyes be hold-the | nations:

Let not the rebellious-ex | alt-them | selves.

O bless our God,-ye | people,

And make the voice of his prai-se | to-be |

heard:

Which holdeth our soul-in | life,

And suffereth not-our | feet-to be moved.
