He shall spare the | poor-and | needy,

And shall save-the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from de | ceit-and | violence :

And precious shall their | blood—be | in—his | sight.

And he shall | live,

And to him shall be given-of the | gold-of | Sheba :

Prayer also shall be made for | him-con | tinually;

And daily-shall | he—be | praised.

There shall be an handful of | corn-in the | earth

Upon the to-p | of-the | mountains; The fruit thereof shall shake-like | Lebanon 1 And they of the city shall | flourish—like | grass-of the earth.

His name shall en | dure for | ever :

His name shall be continued-as | long asthesun:

And men shall be | blessed-in | him :
All | nations-shall | call-him | blessed.

:

Blessed be the Lord God, the | God-of | Israel,
Who only | do-eth | wondrous | things.
And blessed be his glorious | name-forever:
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. |
A—men, | and—A | men.

TRULY God is good-to | Israel,
Even to such as are-of | a-clean | heart.
But as for me, my feet were | almost | gone ;
My steps-had | well-nigh | slipped.

For I was envious | at-the | foolish,

When I saw the-prosperity-of the |

wicked.

For there are no | bands in-their | death;
Bu | t-their | strength—is | firm.

They are not in trouble as | other | men ;
Neither are they | plagued-like | oth

men.

Therefore pride compasseth them about asa chain;

Violence cover-eth | them-as a garment.

Their eyes stand | out-with | fatness:

They have more-than | heart-could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly con cerning-op pression;

They spea-k | loftily.

They set their mouth against-the | heavens; And their tongue | walk-eth | through-the earth.

Therefore his people re | tu-rn | hither:

And waters of a full | cup-are wrung | outto them.

And they say, | How doth-God | know?
And is there knowledge | in the-Most |
High?

Behold, these are the ungodly, who | prosperin the world;

The y-increase-in | riches.

Verily I have cleansed my | heart-in | vain,
And washed-my | hands-in | innocency.
For all the day long have | I-been | plagued,
And chasten-ed every morning.

If I say, I will-speak | thus;

Behold, I should offend against the gener | ation of-thy | children. 1

When I thought to-know | this,

It was too pain-ful | for me,

Until I went into the | sanctuary-of | God;
Then | under-stood | I—their | end.

Surely thou didst set them in slippery | places:

Thou castedst them | down | into—de | struction.

How are they brought into desolation | as ina moment!

They are utterly-con | sumed-with | terrors. As a dream when one- -a | waketh;

So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shaltdespise their image.

Thus my heart-was | grieved,
And I was prick-ed | in-my reins.
So foolish was | I,-and | ignorant :
I was as a beast-be | fore thee.

Nevertheless, I am continu-ally with thee:
T
Thou hast holden | me-by | my-right | hand.
Thou shalt guide me with-thy | counsel,
And afterward re cei-ve | me-to | glory.

Whom have I in heaven-but | thee?

[ocr errors]

And there is none upon earth that | I-de | sire-beside thee.

My flesh and my heart | faileth:

But God is the strength of my heart, and my | po-r|tion-for | ever.

For, lo, they that are far from | thee-shall | perish :

Thou hast destroyed all them that | go—a | whor-ing from thee.

But it is good for me to draw | near-to | God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that | Imay declare-all thy | works.

BOW down thine ear, O | Lo-rd, | hear me ;
For I-am poor-and | needy.
Preserve my soul, for | I-am | holy :
O thou my God, save thy
trust-eth in thee.

Be merciful unto me,-O | Lord:

For I cry unto thee daily.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant :

For unto thee, O Lord, | do-I | lift up-my | soul.

For thou, Lord,-art | good,

And | ready | to-for | give;

And plenteous-in | mercy

Unto all them—that | call-up | on thee.

Give ear, O Lord, | unto-my prayer;

And attend to the

There is none like unto | thee,-O | Lord :
Neither are there | a-ny | works

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee,-O | Lord ;

And shall glo-ri | fy-thy | name.
