31 For who is God fave the Lord? or who is a rock fave our God?.

32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like hinds feet, and fetteth me upon my high places.

34 He teacheth my hands to war, fo that a bow of fteel is broken by mine

arms.

35 Thou haft also given me the fhield of thy falvation and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; that my feet did not flip.

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were confumed.

38 I have wounded them, that they were not able to rife they are fallen under my feet.

41 They cried, but there was none to fave them: even unto the Lord, but he anfwered them not.

42 Then did I beat them fmall as the duft before the wind: I did caft them out as the dirt in the ftreets.

43 Thou haft delivered me from the ftrivings of the people: and thou haft made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known fhall ferve me.

44 As foon as they hear of me, they fhall obey me: the ftrangers fhall fubmit themselves unto me.

45 The ftrangers fhall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46 The Lord liveth, and bleffed be my rock: and let the God of my falvation be exalted.

47 It is God that avengeth me, and fubducth the people under me.

48 He delivereth me from mine enemies : yea, thou lifteft me up above those that rife up against me: thou haft delivered me from the vio

49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among

PSALM XIX. HE heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament fheweth his handy-work.

2 Day unto day uttereth fpeech, and night unto night theweth knowledge.

3 There is no fpeech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world in them hath he fet a tabernacle for the fun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a ftrong man to run a race.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the foul: the teftimony of the Lord is fure, making wife the fimple.

8 The ftatutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.

10 More to be defired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: fweeter alfo than honey, and the honey-comb.

11 Moreover, by them is thy fervant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from fecret faults.

13 Keep back thy fervant alfo from prefumptuous fins, let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I fhall be innocent from the great tranfgreffion.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy fight, O Lord, my ftrength and my redeemer.

PSALM XXII.

Y God, my God,

M why haft thou for

faken me? why art thou fo far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabiteft the praifes of Ifrael.

4 Our fathers trufted in thee they trusted, and thou didft deliver them.

5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and defpifed of the people.

7 All they that fee me, laugh me to scorn: they fhoot out the lip, they fhake the head, faying,

14 am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax, it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd: and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou haft brought me into the duft of death.

16 For dogs have compaffed me, the affembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and ftare

upon me.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me hope, when I was upon my mother's breafts,

10 I was caft upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

II Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compaffed me ftrong bulls of Bashan have befet me round.

19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord; O my ftrength, hafte thee to help me.

20 Deliver my foul from the fword: my darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou haft heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midft of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise

24 For he hath not defpifed nor abhorred the affiction of the afflicted: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he cried unto him, he heard.

PSALM XXIII.

HE Lord is my fhepherd, I fhall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green paftures: he leadeth me befide the ftill

waters.

26 The meek fhall eat and be fatisfied: they fhall praife the Lord that feek him; your heart fhall live for ever.

27 All the ends of the world fhall remember and turn unto the Lord; and all the kindreds of the nations fhall worship before thee.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the na

tions.

29 All they that be fat upon earth, fhall eat and worship all they that go down to the duft, fhall bow before him, and none can keep alive his own foul.

30 A feed fhall ferve him, it fhall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the fhadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and thy ftaff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointeft my head with oil, my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy fhall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
