A Psalm of David.

and my salvation, whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid ? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, a came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the LORD, all the days of my life, to behold b the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trou. ble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice : have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 dWhen thou saiast, Seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I | seek. 9 Hide not thy face far from me, put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help, leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD

XXVIII.

A Psalm of David.

UNTO thee will I cry,
O LORD, my rock, be not
silent to me: lest if thou
be silent to me, I become
like them that go down
into the pit. 2 Hear the
voice of my supplications,
when I cry unto thee:
when I lift up my hands
d toward thy holy oracle.
3 Draw me not away with
the wicked, and with
the workers of iniquity:
which speak peace to
their neighbours, but mis-
: chief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to
their deeds, and accord-
* ing to the wickedness of
their endeavours: give
them after the work of
their hands, render to
them their desert. 5 Be-
cause they regard not the
works of the LORD, nor
the operation of
hands, he shall destroy
them, and not build them
up.

6 Blessed be the LORD, ATT because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. "The LORD is my strength, and my shield, my heart trusted in him, and I am helped : therefore my

heart greatly rejoiceth,

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, the LORD is upon s many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is h powerful; the voice of the LORD is ifull of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf: Lebanon, and Sirion like a young unicorn.

XXX.

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

I WILL extol thee, O LORD, for thou hast lifted me up; and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 20 LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should 4 not go down to the pit.

4 Sing unto the LORD, (O ye saints of his,) and give thanks a at the remembrance of his holiness. 5 For bhis anger endureth but a moment; in his favouris life : weeping may endure for a night, but djoy cometh in the morning.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. LORD, by thy favour thou hast e made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 8 I cried to thee, O LORD: and unto the LORD I made supplication.

9 What profit is there in

to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD be thou

my helper. 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness: 12 To the end that

to thee, and not be silent: O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for

ever.
