And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

"They hold crafty converse against Thy people,

And take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

"They have said: 'Come, and let us

cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.' "For they have consulted together with one consent;

Against Thee do they make a covenant;

"The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Assyria also is joined with them; They have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

10 Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

11 Who were destroyed at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth. 12 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

13Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession

The habitations of God.'

140 my God, make them like the whirling dust;

As stubble before the wind. 15As the fire that burneth the forest,

And as the flame that setteth the

mountains ablaze;

16So pursue them with Thy tempest, And affright them with Thy storm. 17Fill their faces with shame;

That they may seek Thy name, 0 LORD.

18Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever;

Yea, let them be abashed and perish; 19That they may know that it is Thou

alone whose name is the LORD, The Most High over all the earth.

Korah.

"How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

"My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.

4Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself,

Where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My King, and my God—. "Happy are they that dwell in Thy house,

They are ever praising Thee. Selah

"Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee;

In whose heart are the highways. "Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.

"They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

12 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield;

The LORD giveth grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. 130 LORD of hosts,

Happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.

Thou hast turned the captivity

of Jacob.

"Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people,

Thou hast pardoned all their sin.

Selah "Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

"Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

"Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?

Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

"Wilt Thou not quicken us again, That Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

Show us Thy mercy, O LORD,
And grant us Thy salvation.

9I will hear what God the LORD will speak;

For He will speak peace unto His

people, and to His saints;

But let them not turn back to folly. 10Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him;

That glory may dwell in our land. "Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

12Truth springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath looked down

from heaven.

2LORD, Thou hast been favourable

unto Thy land,

Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me;

For I am poor and needy.

2Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. Be gracious unto me, O Lord; For unto Thee do I cry all the day. *Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; For unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

"For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon,

And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

"Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

"In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee;

For Thou wilt answer me. "There is none like unto Thee among

the gods, O Lord;

And there are no works like Thine. 'All nations whom Thou hast made

shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name. 10 For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things;

Thou art God alone.

11Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that

I may walk in Thy truth; Make one my heart to fear Thy

name.

12I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

And I will glorify Thy name for

evermore.

13 For great is Thy mercy toward me;

from the lowest nether-world.

140 God, the proud are risen up against me,

And the company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set Thee before them.

Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.

20 LORD, God of my salvation, What time I cry in the night before Thee,

Let my prayer come before Thee, Incline Thine ear unto my cry.

4For my soul is sated with troubles,

And my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

"I am counted with them that go down into the pit;

I am become as a man that hath no help;

"Set apart among the dead,

Like the slain that lie in the grave,

Whom Thou rememberest no more; And they are cut off from Thy hand.

"Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit,

In dark places, in the deeps.

"Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,

And all Thy waves Thou pressest

down.

Selah

And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

14But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry,

And in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee. 15LORD, why castest Thou off my soul?

Why hidest Thou Thy face from me? 16I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up;

I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.

17Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. 18They came round about me like water all the day;

They compassed me about together. 19Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me,

And mine acquaintance into dark

ness.

Thou hast made me an abomination

And feared of all them that are round about Him?

90 LORD God of hosts,

Who is a mighty one, like unto Thee, O LORD?

And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

19 For of the LORD is our shield; And of the Holy One of Israel is our king.

20Then Thou spokest in vision to Thy godly ones,

And saidst: 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty;

I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
