For thou, O God, hast | prov-ed | us:
Thou hast tried us-as silver-is | tried.
|
Thou broughtest us | into-the | net:

Thou laidst af | fliction-up | on-our | loins.

Thou hast caused men to ride | over-our | heads:

We went through | fire-and | through | water,

But thou | broughtest-us | out

In to-a | wealth—y | place.

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: will pay thee-my | vows,

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,-when | I was-in | trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams:

I will offer | bullocks-with goats.

Come and hear, all ye that-fear | God, And I will declare what he hath done formy soul.

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled | with-my | tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the | Lo-rd | will not hear me :

But verily God-hath | heard me ;

He hath attended to the | voi-ce | of-my |

prayer,

Blessed be- | God,

Which hath not turned away my prayer,nor his mer-cy | from me.

IN Thee, O Lord, do I | put-my | trust;
Let me never-be | put-to confusion;
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause |
me-to escape :

Incline thine ear-unto | me,-and | save me.

Be thou my strong-habi | tation,

Whereunto I may-con | tinually-re | sort: Thou hast given com | mandment-to | save me; For thou art my | ro-ck | and-my | fortress.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand ofthe wicked,

Out of the hand of the unrighteous—and | cru—el | man.

For thou art my hope, | O-Lord | God:
Thou art my tru-st | from-my | youth.

By thee have I been holden up | from-the | womb:

Thou art he that took me out of-my | mother's bowels.

My praise shall be continually—of | thee : I am as a wonder unto many: but | thou artmy strong refuge.

Let my mouth be filled with-thy | praise,
And with thy | ho-nour | all-the day.
Cast me not off in the time of-old | age;
Forsake me not | when-my | strength |
faileth.

For mine enemies | speak-a | gainst me,
And they that lay wait for my
counsel together,

Saying, God-hath for | saken him

soul-take |

;

Persecute and take him, for there is | noneto deliver | him.

O God, be not-far from me:

O my God, make | haste—for my | help. Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to-my soul;

Let them be covered with reproach and dis | honour-that | seek-my | hurt.

But I will | hope-con | tinually,

And will yet praise-thee | more and more. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation | all-the | day;

For I know not-the | numbers-there | of.

I will go in the strength of the | Lo-rd | God; 1 I will make mention of thy righteousness even-of thi-ne | only.

O God, thou hast taught me | from-my | youth: And hitherto have I declared-thy

drous works.

won

Now also, when I am | old and-grey | headed, O God-for sake-me | not;

Until I have showed thy strength unto | thisgeneration,

And thy power to every one-that is-to |

come.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done-great | things:

O God, who is | like-unto | thee?

Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken | me-again,

And shalt bring me up again-from the depths of the earth.

Thou shalt in crease-my | greatness,
And comfort me-on | ev-ery | side.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even
thy truth, O-my | God:

Unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou |
Ho-ly | One-of | Israel.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I | singunto thee;

And my soul-which | thou hast-re | deemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness | all the-day | long:

For they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame-that | seek-my | hurt.

28.

GIVE the king thy | judgments,-O | God,
And thy righteousness | unto-the | ki-ng's |

son.

He shall judge thy | people-with | righteous

ness,

And-thy | poor-with | judgment.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, And the little hills,-by | righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the | needy,

And shall break in | pie-ces | the-op | pressor.

They shall fear thee as long as the sun and | moon-en | dure,

Through out-all | ge-ne | rations.

He shall come down like rain upon the | mo-wn grass :

As showers-that water-the earth. 1

In his days shall the | right-eous | flourish ; And abundance of peace so long as the | moon-en dureth.

He shall have dominion also from | sea-to | sea, And from the river unto-the ends of the earth.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall | bow— before him;

And his enemies-shall | lick-the | dust. The kings of Tarshish, and of the | isles shall— bring presents :

The kings of Sheba and | Seba-shall | of-fer | gifts.

Yea, all kings shall fall | down-be | fore him ; All | na |tions-shall serve him.

For he shall deliver the needy | when-he | crieth;

The poor also, and | him-that | hath—no | helper.
