a TRULY My Soul b waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my cdefence, I shall not be greatly moved. 3 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. 4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency, they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse d inwardly. Selah.

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 a thirsty land, where no water is: 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life : my lips shall praise thee. 4 Thus will I bless thee, while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5 My soul shall be satisfied as with e marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 7 Because thou hast been my help; therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. : 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 9 But those that seek my soul to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10 d They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

LXIV.

To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.

HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked : from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4 That they may shoot in

suddenly do they shoot 5 at him, and fear not. 5 They encourage themselves in an evil a matter: they commune b of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them ? 6 They search out iniquities, they accomplished a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the : heart, is deep.

7 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. 9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
