12 When my father and my mother · for | sake me : the Lord | taketh · me | up.

13 Teach me thy I way, .0 | Lord: and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.

14 Deliver me not over into the | will of · mine | adversaries : for there are false witnesses risen up a gainst me, · and such as · speak | wrong.

15 I shonld | utterly . have fainted: but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord · in the land of the living.

16 O tarry thou the Lord's | leisure : be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and I put · thou thy | trust · in the Lord.

Psalm xxviii. Ad te, Domine. UNTO thee will I cry, O | Lord • my strength :

U think no scorn of me; lest, if thou make as though thou bearest not, I become like them that go | down · in | to · the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my humble petitions, when Il cry un · to ) thee: when I hold up my hands towards the mercy | seat of. thy holy | temple.

30 pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and | wick • ed | doers : which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mis · chief | in · their hearts.

4 Reward them according to their | deeds : and according to the wickedness of their own . in ventions.

5 Recompense them after the | work of their hands: pay them that · they have · de served. ' 6 For they regard not in their mind the works of the Lord, nor the oper | ation of his hands : therefore shall he break them down, and not | build • them | up.

7 Praised | be · the Lord : for he hath heard the | voice of · my l humble · pe , titions.

8 The Lord is my strength, and my shield; my heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped : therefore my heart danceth for joy, and in my | song I will. I praise him.

9 The Lord / is · my strength : and he is the wholesome de i fence of his · Anointed.

10 O save thy people, and give thy blessing unto I thine.in heritance : feed them, and set them up · for ever.

Psalm xxix. Afferte Domino. DRING unto the Lord, o ye mighty, bring

D young rams un to the Lord : ascribe unto the Lord worship and I strength.

2 Give the Lord the honour due un | to · his Name : worship the Lord. with | ho · ly i worship.

3 It is the Lord, that com 1 mandeth · the l waters: it is the glorious | God that maketh · the | thunder.

4 It is the Lord, that ruleth the sea; the voice of the Lord is mighty in | op · er 1 ation : the voice of the Lord. is al glorious voice.

5 The voice of the Lord | breaketh · the cedartrees: yea, the Lord | breaketh • the cedars of Libanus.

6 He maketh them also to skip· like a calf : Libanus also, and | Siri · on, | like a • young | unicorn.

7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord | shaketh · the wilderness : yea, the Lord I shaketh. the wilderness of | Cades.

8 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and dis | covereth the . thick | bushes : in his temple doth | every • man speak of · his | honour.

9 The Lord sitteth al bove. the water-flood : and the Lord re | maineth · a | King': for | ever.

10 The Lord shall give strength unto his people: the Lord shall give his people · the blessing · of 1 peace.

11 For my life is waxen old • with heaviness : and l . my years • wi h| mourning.

12 My strength faileth me, because of mine. in | iquity: and my | bones | are · consumed.

13 I became a reproof among all mine enemies, but especially a | mong • my neighbours : and they of mine acquaintance were afraid of me; and they that did see me without con / veyed · them | selves from me.

14 I am clean forgotten, as a dead | man · out of | mind: I am become · like a bro: ken | vessel.

15 For I have heard the blasphemy 1 of th | multitude: and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take · a | way • my life.

16 But my hope hath been in | thee, .0 | 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 per · se | cute me.

18 Shew thy servant the light of thy | countenance: and save me · for thy | mer · cy'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 si · lence , in · thel grave.

20 Let the lying lips be put · to 1 silence : which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully, I speak ·al gainst the righteous.

21 O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them · that I fear thée: 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 pro | voking · of | all men : thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from · the | strife · of | tongues.
