As with a sword in my bones, my enemies re proach me; While they say daily unto me, | Where is thy | God? Why art thou cast down, | O my soul! my God. him countenance | and Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an un godly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust | man. Oh send out thy light and thy truth; | let them | lead me; Let them bring me out of thy holy hill, | and | to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, Why art thou cast down, | O my soul? Hope thou in God, for I shall | yet praise | him my God. PSALMS XLII, XLIII. 16. HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies | blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from | mine iniquity, For I acknowledge | my transgressions: That thou mightest be justified when thou | speakest, And be clear when thou | judgest. Behold, I was shapen | in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the | inward | parts: And in the hidden part thou shalt | make me to | know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and | I shall be clean: Make me to hear | joy and | gladness; That the bones which thou hast broken | may rejoice. 1 Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine in | iquities. Create in me a clean | heart, O | God; Restore unto me the joy of thy sal | vation; Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy | righte ousness. O Lord, open thou my | lips; And my mouth | shall show forth thy | praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; | else would I give it. Thou de lightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a | broken | spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt | not des pise. PSALM LI. 1—17.′′ 17. TRULY my soul waiteth | upon | God: In God is my salvation, | and my | glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge is in | God. Trust in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him : God is a refuge for us. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: To be laid in the balance, they are altogether | lighter than vanity. Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in | robbery : If riches increase, | set not your heart up on them. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this, Also unto thee, O Lord, be | longeth | mercy : For thou renderest to every man according to his work. PSALM LXII. 1,2,7-12. 18. O GOD, thou art my | God; My flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land | where no water | is ; To see thy power and thy | glory, So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Thus will I bless thee while I | live: I will lift up my hands | in thy | name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall | praise thee with | joyful | lips: When I remember thee up | on my bed, And meditate on thee | in the | night | watches. Therefore in the shadow of thy | wings will I re joice. PSALM LXIII. 1–7. 19. PRAISE wai:eth for thee, O | God, in | Sion; Unto thee shall all flesh | come. Iniquities prevail against me : As for our transgressions, thou shalt | purge them a way. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell | in thy | courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy | house, Even of thy holy | temple. By terrible things in righteousness | wilt thou [ answer us, O God of our salvation; ends of the earth, on the sea : mountains; Who art the confidence of all the Which stilleth the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are a | fraid at thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening | to re | joice. Thou visitest the earth, and | waterest | it: Thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, | which is full of water: Thou preparest them corn, When thou hast | so provided | for it. |
