9 He that planted the ear, shall | he' not | hear : or he that made the | eye,' shall | he' not | see?

10 Or he that | nurtureth' the | heathen : it is he that teacheth man | knowledge,' shall | not' he | punish?

11 The Lord knoweth the | thoughts' of | man : that they are' but | vain.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou | chastenest,' O Lord and teachest' him | in' thy | law;

:

13 That thou mayest give him patience in time | of adversity until the pit be digged | up' for | the' un godly.

:

14 For the Lord will not fail' his people : neither will he' for sake' his inheritance;

15 Until righteousness turn again | un'to | judgement all such as are | true' in | heart' shall | follow it.

16 Who will rise up with me against the || wicked or who will take my part against the e'vil doers?

17 If the Lord | had not | helped me it had not failed but my soul | had been | put' to | silence.

18 But when I said, My foot' hath slipt : thy mercy, | O' Lord, | held' me | up.

19 In the multitude of the sorrows that I had | in' my heart: thy comforts | have' refreshed' my | soul.

20 Wilt thou have any thing to do with the | stool' of wickedness: which imagineth | mis'chief | as'a | law?

21 They gather them together against the soul' of the righteous and condemn' the | inno'cent | blood.

:

22 But the Lord | is' my | refuge and my God is the strength' of my

confidence.

23 He shall recompence them their wickedness, and destroy them in ❘ their own | malice : yea, the Lord our God | shall' destroy them.

7 For he is the Lord' our | God and we are the people of his pasture, | and' the sheep of' his hand.

8 To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden | not'

your hearts as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation | in' the wilderness; |

9 When your fa'thers | tempted me proved me,' and saw' my works.

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation,' and | said: It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have' not known' my ways; 11 Unto whom I sware | in' my wrath they should not | enter' into my | rest.

6 Glory and worship | are before him power and | honour' are | in' his | sanctuary.

courts.

9 O worship the Lord in the | beauty' of | holiness: let the whole earth | stand' in | awe' of | him.

10 Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord' is King: and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; and how that he shall judge' the | people | righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the | earth' be | glad : let the sea make a noise, and | all' that | there'in is.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all | that' is | in it : then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice' be|fore' the Lord.

13 For he cometh, for he cometh to judge' the | earth : and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people | with' his | truth.

PSALM XCVII. Dominus regnavit.

THE Lord is King, the earth may be glad' there-| of yea, the multitude of the isles | may' be | glad' there of.

2 Clouds and darkness are | round' about him : righteousness and judgement are the habi ta'tion | of′ his seat.

3 There shall go a | fire' before him : and burn up his enemies' on | ev'ery | side.

4 His lightnings gave shine un to' the world: the earth | saw it,' and ❘ was' afraid.

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord at the presence of the | Lord' of | the′ whole

6 The heavens have declared' his righteousness and all the | people' have | seen' his | glory.

7 Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight' in | vain gods: worship | him, all' ye gods.

8 Sion heard of it, and' rejoiced and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy | judge'ments, | O - | Lord.

9 For thou, Lord, art higher than all that are in' the earth thou art exalted | far' above all | I

gods.

10 O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is | evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the | hand' of the ungodly.

11 There is sprung up a light | for the righteous and joyful gladness for such' as | are' truehearted.
