17 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them' that | fear him and upon them that put | their′ trust in his mercy;

8 O taste, and see, how | gracious' the | Lord is : blessed is the man' that | trusteth' in | him.

9 O fear the Lord, ye that | are' his | saints: for they that' fear | him' lack | nothing.

10 The lions do lack, and | suf'fer | hunger: but they who seek the Lord shall want no | manner of | thing' that is good.

11 Come, ye children, and hearken | un'to | me : I will teach you the | fear' - | of the | Lord.

PSALM XXXV. Judica, Domine.

PLEAD thou my cause, O Lord, with them | that' strive with me and fight thou against them' 1 that fight' against me.

2 Lay hand upon the | shield' and buckler: and stand up' to help me.

3 Bring forth the spear, and stop the way against them that per'se cute me say unto my soul, | I' am thy' salvation.

4 Let them be confounded, and put to shame, that seek after' my soul: let them be turned back, and brought to confusion, that i ma'gine | mis'chief | for me.

5 Let them be as the dust before' the | wind: and the angel of the | Lord | scatter'ing them.

6 Let their way be dark' and slippery and let | the angel of the | Lord - | per'se cute them.

7 For they have privily laid their net to destroy me with out' a | cause : yea, even without a cause have they made a pit | for my soul.

8 Let a sudden destruction come upon him unawares, and his net, that he hath laid privily, | catch' him self that he may fall | in'to | his' own | mischief.

9 And, my soul, be joyful | in' the Lord it shall rejoice' in | his' salvation.

10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is | too' strong for him yea, the poor, and him that is in | misery,' from him' that | spoileth him?

11 False witnesses | did' rise | up they laid to my charge things' that | I' knew not.

12 They rewarded me | evil' for good to the great dis com'fort of my soul.

13 Nevertheless, when they were sick, I put on sackcloth, and humbled my | soul' with | fasting : and my prayer shall turn | in'to | mine' own | bosom. 14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend, or my brother I went heavily, as one

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered them selves' together: yea, the very abjects came together against me unawares, making | mouths' at | me,' and ceased not.

16 With the flatterers were | bu'sy | mockers : who gnashed up on' me | with' their | teeth.

17 Lord, how long wilt thou | look up'on this: O deliver my soul from the calamities which they bring on me, and my | dar'ling | from' the | lions.

18 So will I give thee thanks in the great | con'gregation I will praise | thee' among' much | people.

19 O let not them that are mine enemies triumph over | me' un godly neither let them wink with their eyes that hate me' with out' a | cause.

:

20 And why? their communing is | not' for | peace but they imagine deceitful words against them that are qui'et | in' the land.

21 They gaped upon me with their | mouths,' and said: Fie on thee, fie on thee, we | saw' it | with' our eyes.
