6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed: thou, LORD, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.

7 Thou didst turn thy face from me and I was troubled.

8 Then cried I unto thee, O LORD: and gat me to my LORD right humbly.; 9 What profit is there in my blood: when I go down to the pit?

10 Shall the dust give thanks unto thee or shall it declare thy truth?

11 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

2 Bow down thine ear to me: make haste to deliver me.

3 And be thou my strong rock, and

house of defence: that thou mayest save me.

4 For thou art my strong rock, and my castle: be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy Name's sake.

5 Draw me out of the net, that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, Ŏ LORD, thou GoD of truth.

7 I have hated them that hold of superstitious vanities and my trust hath been in the LORD.

9 Thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: but hast set my feet in a large room.

11 For my life is waxen old with heaviness: and my years with mourning.

12 My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquity and my bones are consumed.

13 Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing: 0

14 I am clean forgotten, as a dead

man out of mind: I am become like a broken vessel.

15 For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude: and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

16 But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD: I have said, Thou art my GOD. 17 My time is in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies: and from them that persecute me.

18 Shew thy servant. the light of thy countenance: and save me for thy mercy's sake.

19 Let me not be confounded, O LORD, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be put to confusion, and be put to silence in the grave.

20 Let the lying lips be put to silence which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

21 O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee: and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

22 Thou shalt hide them privily by thine own presence from the provoking of all men thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

23 Thanks be to the LORD: for he hath shewed me marvellous great kindness in a strong city.

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth no sin: and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 For while I held my tongue: my bones consumed away through my daily_complaining.

4 For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night and my moisture is like the drought in summer.

5 I will acknowledge my sin unto thee: and mine unrighteousness have I not hid.

6 I said, I will confess my sins unto the LORD and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin.

7 For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found: but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.

8 Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shalt preserve me from trouble: thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

9 I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go: and I will guide thee with mine eye.

10 Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding: whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, lest they fall upon thee.

5 He loveth righteousness and judgement: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made: and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon an heap: and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.

8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world.

9 For he spake, and it was done he commanded, and it stood fast.

19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for the LORD: for he is our help, and our shield.

20 For our heart shall rejoice in him because we have hoped in his holy Name.

13 The LORD looked down from heaven, and beheld all the children of men from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all them that dwell on the earth.

14 He fashioneth all the hearts of them and understandeth all their works.

15 There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host: neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

16 A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man: neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

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 discomfort of my soul.

13 Nevertheless, when they were sick, I put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting and my prayer shall turn into mine own bosom.

14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend, or my brother:

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together yea, the very abjects came

PLEAD thou my cause, O LORD, together against me unawares, making

with them that strive with me: and fight thou against them 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 persecute 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 imagine mischief for

me.

5 Let them be as the dust before the wind and the angel of the LORD cattering them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

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

8 Let a sudden destruction come

mouths at me, and ceased not.

16 With the flatterers were busy mockers who gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 LORD, how long wilt thou look upon this: O deliver my soul from the calamities which they bring on me, and my darling from the lions.

18 So will I give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19 O let not them that are mine enemies triumph over me ungodly : neither let them wink with their eyes. that hate me without a cause.

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

22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: hold not thy tongue then, go not far from me, O LORD.

Ant. I will love Thee. When the Antiphon begins with the first words of the Psalm, no repetition is made, but the Psalm is continued from the mediation, or from the cadence, of the Antiphon, as the case may be.

he cast forth light

scattered them
nings and destroyed them.

15 The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered, at thy chiding, O LORD at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasure.

16 He shall send down from on high

many waters.

I WILL love thee, O LORD, my to fetch me : and shall take me out of strength; the LORD is my stony rock and my defence: my SAVIOUR, my GOD, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge.

2 I will call upon the LORD, which is worthy to be praised so shall I be safe from mine enemies. 3 The sorrows of death compassed me and the overflowings of ungodliness made me afraid.

4 The pains of hell came about me: the snares of death overtook me.

5 In my trouble I will call upon the LORD and complain unto my GOD.

:

6 So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple and my complaint shall come before him, it shall enter even into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked : the very foundations also of the hills shook, and were removed, because he was wroth.

8 There went a smoke out of his presence and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it.

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down and it was dark under his feet.

10 He rode upon the cherubims, and did fly he came flying upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place his pavilion round about him with dark water, and thick clouds to cover him.

12 At the brightness of his presence his clouds removed: hailstones and coals of fire.

13 The LORD also thundered out of heaven, and the Highest gave his thunder: hailstones and coals of fire.

14 He sent out his arrows, and

17 He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them which hate me for they are too mighty for

me.

18 They prevented me in the day of trouble but the LORD was my upholder.

19 He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he brought me forth, even because he had a favour unto me.

20 The LORD shall reward me after my righteous dealings according to the cleanness of my hands shall he recompense me.

21 Because I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not forsaken my GOD, as the wicked doth.

22 For I have an eye unto all his laws and will not cast out his commandments from me.

23 I was also uncorrupt before him: and eschewed mine own wickedness.

24 Therefore shall the LORD reward Ime after my righteous dealing and according unto the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25 With the holy thou shalt be holy and with a perfect man thou shalt be perfect.

26 With the clean thou shalt be clean and with the froward thou shalt learn frowardness.

27 For thou shalt save the people that are in adversity and shalt bring down the high looks of the proud.

28 Thou also shalt light my candle: the LORD my GoD shall make my darkness to be light.

29 For in thee I shall discomfit an host of men and with the help of my GOD I shall leap over the wall.
