I WILL extol | thee, O Lord;
For thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made
my foes-to re | joi-ce | over me.

O Lord my God, I cried | un-to | thee,
And thou hast | heal-ed | me.

O Lord, thou hast brought up my soulfrom the grave:

Thou hast kept me alive, that I should notgo | down-to the pit.

Sing unto the Lord, O ye | saints—of | his,

And give thanks at the re | mem-brance | of— his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his | favour-is | life.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy | com-ethin-the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall | neverbe moved.

Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my | mountain to stand | strong:

Thou didst | hide-thy | face,
And-I wa-s | troubled.
I cried to thee,—O | Lord;

And unto the Lord | I—made | sup—pli | cation.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go | down-to the pit?

Shall the dust praise thee? shall | it-de | clare-thy truth?

Hear, O Lord, and have | mercy--up | on me :
Lord, be thou-my | helper.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning | in-to | dancing:

Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and | gird-ed | me-with | gladness;

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not-be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give | thanks-unto | thee-forever.

10.

BLESSED is he whose transgression | is-for given,

Whose si-ni-s | covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth | not-in | iquity,

And in whose | spirit-there | is—no | guile.

When | I-kept | silence,.

My bones waxed old through my | roar-ing | all the-day long.

For day and night thy hand was | heavy-up |

on me:

My moisture is turned | into-the | drought—of |,

summer.

I acknowledge my | sin-unto | thee,
And mine iniqui-ty | have I—not | hid.

I said, I will confess my transgressions | untothe Lord;

And thou forgavest the in | iqui-ty | of—my | sin.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest-be | found: Surely in the floods of great waters they | shall not come | nigh-unto | him.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve | me-from trouble;

Thou shalt compass me about with | so-ngs | of-deliverance.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which | thou-shalt | go;

I will guide-thee | with-mine | eye. 1

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no-under | standing;

Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they | come-near | un—to | thee.

Many sorrows shall be to-the wicked: But he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall | com-pass him-a | bout.

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, — ye | righteous:

And shout for joy, all | ye-that are | upright— in heart.

11.

REJOICE in the Lord, | O-ye | righteous;
1
For praise is come-ly | for-the | upright.
Praise the Lord-with | harp :

Sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument | of-ten | strings.

Sing unto him a-new | song;

Play | skilful-ly | with a-loud | noise.
For the word of the | Lord-is | right;
And all his | works-are | done-in | truth.

He loveth | righteousness-and | judgment:
The earth is full of the good-ness | of-the |
Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the | hea-vens | made;

And all the host of them | by-the | breath ofhis mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together | as-an | heap:

He layeth up-the | depth-in | storehouses. Let all the earth | fear-the | Lord;

Let all the inhabitants of the world | stand-in | awe of him.

For he spake, and | it-was | done;

He commanded, and | it-stood | fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the | heathento nought:

He maketh the devices of the | people-of | none-effect.

The counsel of the Lord | standeth-for | ever, The thoughts of his heart-to | all-gener | ations.

Blessed is the nation whose | God-is the | Lord; And the people whom he hath chosen | for-his | own-inheritance.

The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

From the place of his habitation he looketh upon
all the inhabitants | of-the | earth.
He fashioneth their hearts-a | like;
He consider-eth | all-their works.

There is no king saved by the multitude | of— an host:

A mighty man is not de | liver-ed | by-much | strength.

An horse is a vain | thing-for | safety:

Neither shall he deliver | any-by | his-great | strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon | themthat fear him,

Upon them-that | hope in-his | mercy;

To deliver their | soul-from | death,

And to keep them—a | live-in | famine.

Our soul waiteth | for-the | Lord;
He is our | help | and—our | shield.
For our heart shall rejoice-in | him,
Because we have trusted | in-his | ho-ly |

name.

Let thy mercy, O | Lord,-be up | on us,
According | as-we | hope-in | thee.
