6 Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with. a garment: the | waters | stand in the hills. 7 At thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of thy thunder. they are afraid.

8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath: even unto the place which thou hast appointed | for them.

9 Thou hast set them their bounds which they | shall not pass: neither turn a | gain to | cover · the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs in | to the | rivers: which run a |mong the hills.

11 All beasts of the field drink there | of: and the wild ass es quench their | thirst.

12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation: and | sing among the

2 O let your songs be of him, and praise him and let your talking be of all his won · drous works.

3 Rejoice in his holy Name: let the heart of them rejoice that | seek the Lord.

4 Seek the Lord | and his | strength: seek his | face ever more.

5 Remember the marvellous works that he hath done: his wonders and the judgements | of· his mouth.

6 O ye seed of | Abraham children of Jacob his | chosen.

7 He is the Lord our God: his judgements are in all the world.

8 He hath been alway mindful of his | covenant and promise that he made to a thousand | gen erations.

10 And appointed the same unto Jacob | for a law and to Israel for an ever | lasting | tes · ta | ment;

13 What time as they went from one nation to another: from one kingdom | to an | other | people;

14 He suffered no man to do them | wrong: but reproved even | kings for their | sakes;

21 He made him lord also of his house: and ruler of all his | substance;

22 That he might inform his princes | after his | will: and teach his senators | wisdom.

23 Israel also came in to | Egypt: and Jacob was a stranger in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people exceedingly and made them | stronger than their | enemies;

28 He sent darkness, and it was | dark: and they were not obedient | unto his | word.

29 He turned their waters | into | blood: and || slew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth | frogs: yea, even | in their kings' | chambers.

31 He spake the word, and there came all | manner of flies: and | lice in all their | quarters. 32 He gave them | hail-stones · for | rain: and flames of fire | in their | land.

33 He smote their vines also and | fig-trees: and destroyed the trees that were | in their |
