5 Like as the arrows in the hand | of the | giant : even so' are the' young children.

6 Happy is the man that hath his quiver | full' of them they shall not be ashamed when they speak with their | ene'mies | in' the gate.

PSALM CXXVIII. Beati omnes.

BLESSED are all they that | fear' the | Lord : and|

2 For thou shalt eat the labours | of' thine | hands : O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.

3 Thy wife shall be as the | fruit'ful | vine: upon the walls' of thine - | house. T

4 Thy children like the | o'live | branches : roundabout' thy | table.

5 Lo, thus shall the | man' be | blessed : that | fear'eth the Lord.

6 The Lord from out of Sion | shall' so | bless thee that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity | all' thy life | long.

7 Yea, that thou shalt see thy | child'ren's | children and peace' up on - | Israel.

7 Whereof the mower filleth | not' his | hand : neither he that bindeth | up' the sheaves' his | bosom.

8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The Lord pros'per | you: we wish you good luck | in' the Name' of the | Lord.

2 How he sware un to' the | Lord : and vowed a vow unto the Al|migh'ty | God' of | Jacob;

3 I will not come within the tabernacle | of' mine | house nor climb | up' in to' my | bed;

4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine | eye-lids' to slumber : neither the temples of my head to take | a'ny | rest;

8 Arise, O Lord, in to' thy | resting place thou, and the ark of thy | strength.

9 Let thy priests be | clothed' with | righteousness and let thy saints | sing' with | joy'ful|ness.

10 For thy servant | Da'vid's | sake: turn not away the presence of thine' Anointed.

11 The Lord hath made a faithful oath | un'to! David and | he' shall | not' shrink | from it;

:

:

12 Of the fruit | of' thy | body shall I | set up on' thy | seat.

13 If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall learn them their children also shall sit upon thy | seat' for | ever-|

14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion to be an habitation | for himself: he | hath - | long'ed | for her.

15 This shall be my | rest' for | ever : here will

16 I will bless her | victuals' with | increase : and will satisfy' her | poor' with bread.

:

17 I will deck her | priests' with | health and her saints shall' rejoice' and | sing.

18 There shall I make the horn of | David' to | flourish : I have ordained a | lantern' for | mine' Anointed.

19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe❘ them' with shame but upon himself' shall | his' crown | flourish.
