PSALM CXLIII. Domine, exaudi.

EAR my prayer, O Lord, and consider | my' desire : hearken unto me for thy | truth' and | righteous'ness' sake.

2 And enter not into judgement with thy | servant for in thy sight shall | no' man | living' be | justified.

:

3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground: he hath laid me in the darkness, as the men | that' have | been' long dead.

4 Therefore is my spirit | vexed' with|in me : and my heart' with in me' is | desolate.

5 Yet do I remember the time past; I muse upon all' thy works: yea, I exercise myself in' the works of thy hands.

6 I stretch forth my hands | un'to | thee my soul gaspeth unto thee | as'a | thirsty | land.

7 Hear me, O Lord, and that soon, for my spirit wax'eth | faint hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go | down' in to' the | pit.

8 O let me hear thy loving-kindness betimes in the morning, for in thee | is' my | trust: shew thou me the way that I should walk in, for I lift up | my' soul unto thee.

9 Deliver me, O Lord, | from' mine | enemies : for I flee un'to | thee' to | hide me.

10 Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee, for thou art my God let thy loving Spirit lead land' of righteousness.

2 My hope and my fortress, my castle and deliverer, my defender in | whom' I | trust: who subdueth my people | that' is | under me.

3 Lord, what is man, that thou hast such respect' un to him: or the son of man, that' thou | so' regardest him?

4 Man is like a thing' of | nought his time. passeth alway | like' a shadow.

5 Bow thy heavens, O Lord, | and come | down : touch the mountains,' and they' shall | smoke.

6 Cast forth thy | lightning,' and tear them: shoot out thine | arrows, | and' consume them.

7 Send down thine hand | from' above : deliver me, and take me out of the great waters, from | the' hand of strange | children;

:

8 Whose mouth | talketh' of | vanity and their right hand is a' right hand' of wickedness.

9 I will sing a new song unto thee,' O | God: and sing praises unto thee up on' a | ten'-stringed | lute.

10 Thou hast given victory | un'to | kings : and hast delivered David thy servant from the | pe'ril | of the sword.

11 Save me, and deliver me from the hand | of' strange | children whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right hand is a | right' hand of iniquity.

12 That our sons may grow up as | the' young | plants and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.

13 That our garners may be full and plenteous with all | manner' of store that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten | thou'sands | in' our

streets.

14 That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there be | no' de cay : no leading into captivity, and no complain'ing | in' our | streets.

15 Happy are the people that are in | such' a | case yea, blessed are the people who have | the' Lord for their | God.

I

WILL magnify thee, O God,' my | King and I will praise thy | Name' for | ever' and ❘ ever. 2 Every day will I give thanks | un'to | thee : and praise thy | Name' for | ever' and | ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and marvellous, worthy | to' be praised there is | no' end of his greatness. 4 One generation shall praise thy works un to' another and -' de clare' thy | power.

11 They shew the glory of thy | kingdom: and talk of thy power;

12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness | of thy kingdom: might | be' known un'to men. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlast'ing | kingdom: and thy dominion endureth' through out' all ages.

14 The Lord upholdeth all | such' as | fall : and lifteth up | all′ those | that' are | down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon | thee,' O | Lord : and thou givest them | their meat | in' due | season. 16 Thou openest' thine | hand : and fillest | all' things living' with | plenteousness.

17 The Lord is righteous in | all' his | ways : and holy' in all' his works.

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that | call' up on him : yea, all such as | call' up|on' him | faithfully.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them' that | fear him he also will hear their' cry, | and' will help them.

20 The Lord preserveth all | them' that | love him but scattereth a broad' all the ungodly.

2 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any | child' of man : for there is no' help | in
