Will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will fpeak of all thy marvellous works...

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee; yea, my fongs will I make of thy Name, O thou Moft Higheft.

4 For thou haft maintained my right, and my caufe; thou art fet in the throne that judgeft right.

5 Thou haft rebuked the heathen, and deftroyed the ungodly; thou haft put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O thou enemy, deftructions are come to a perpetual end; even as the cities which thou haft deftroyed, their memorial is perished with them. 7 But the Lord fhall endure for ever; he hath alfo prepared his feat for judg

ment.

8 For he fhall judge the world in righteousness, and minifter true judgment unto the people.

9 The Lord alfo will be a defence for the oppreffed, even a refuge in due time of trouble.

10 And they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee; for thou, Lord, haft never failed them that feek thee.

11 O praise the Lord which dwelleth in Sion; fhow the people of his doings:

12

hate me, thou that liftett me up from the gates of death;

14 That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Sion: I will rejoice in thy falvation.

15 The heathen are funk down in the pit that they made; in the fame net which they hid privily is their foot taken.

16 The Lord is known to execute judgment; the un godly is trapped in the work of his own hands.

17 The wicked fhall be turned into hell, and all the people that forget God.

18 For the poor fhall not alway be forgotten; the patient abiding of the meek fhall not perish for ever.

19 Up, Lord, and let not man have the upper hand; let the heathen be judged in thy fight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord, that the heathen may know themselves to be but

men.

O hideft thy face in the needful time of trouble?

2 The ungodly, for his own luft, doth perfecute the poor: let them be taken in the crafty wilinefs that they have imagined.

3 For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's defire, and speaketh good of the covetous, whom God abthorreth.

4 The ungodly is fo proud, that he careth not for God, neither is God in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are alway griexvous; thy judgments are far above out of his fight, and I therefore defieth he all his e#nemies.

6 For he hath faid in his heart, Tush, I shall never be cast down, there shall no harm happen unto me.

7 His mouth is full of curfing, deceit, and fraud; under his tongue is ungodlinefs and vanity.

8 He fitteth lurking in the thievith corners of the streets, and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are fet against the poor.

9 For he lieth waiting fecretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor.

10 He doth ravish the E poor, when he getteth him into his net.

14 Wherefore should the wicked blafpheme God, while he doth fay in his heart, Tufh, thou God careft not for it?

15 Surely thou haft feen it; for thou beholdeft ungodliness and wrong.

16 That thou mayeft take the matter into thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; for thou art the helper of the friendless.

17 Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious; take away his ungodliness, and thou shalt find none.

18 The Lord is King for ever and ever, and the heathen are perished out of the land.

19 Lord, thou hast heard the defire of the poor; thou prepareft their heart, and thine ear hearkeneth thereto.

20 To help the fatherless and poor unto their right, that the man of the earth be no more exalted against them.

9 There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear was; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
