I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Moab is my washpot; Over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Who will bring me into the strong city? Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? And thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? Give us help from trouble: For vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that shall tread down our enemies. LXI To the chief Musician upon Neginah A Psalm of David Hear my cry, my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, And a strong tower from the enemy. Selah. Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Thou wilt prolong the king's life: And his years as many generations. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, LXII To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun TRULY My A Psalm of David soul waiteth upon God: From him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you: As a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: They delight in lies: They bless with their mouth, but they curse in wardly. My soul, wait thou only upon God; For my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved. Selah. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in Trust in him at all times; ye people, Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. God hath spoken once; Twice have I heard this; That power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: For thou renderest to every man according to his work. LXIII A Psalm of David When he was in the wilderness of Judah O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh longeth for thee In a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fat ness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: And meditate on thee in the night watches. Therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, They shall fall by the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes! But the king shall rejoice in God; Every one that sweareth by him shall glory: LXIV To the chief Musician A Psalm of David Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: They search out iniquities; They accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: All that see them shall flee away. |
