2 Hide me from the gathering together of the froward: and from the insur ( rection of wick. ed doers : 3 Who have whet their tongue · like a | sword: and shoot out their arrows, 1 e. ven 1 bit · ter | words ; 4 That they may privily shoot at him that is perfect: suddenly do they | hit. him, and · fear i not. 5 They encourage them selves · in mischief : and commune among themselves, how they may lay snares, and say · that no man • shall | see them. 6 They imagine wickedness, and prac · tise lit: that they keep secret among themselves, every i man · in the deep of his heart. 7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them with al swift | arrow : that I they I shall · be | wounded. 8 Yea, their own tongues shall I make · them, fall: insomuch that whoso seeth · them shall i laugh. them to scorn. 9 And all men that see it shall say, | This hath · God | done : for they shall perceive · that it is · his work. 10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put his | trust · in | him : and all they that are true .of | heart. shall be I glad. 3 My misdeeds pre | vail · al gainst me: O be thou | merci · full unto our | sins. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest • unto thee: he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, I even of thy | holy | temple. 5 Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our · sal | vation : thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that re| main · in the broad | sea. 6 Who in his strength setteth | fast · the mountains : and is 1 girded . about • with power. 7 Who stilleth the raging of the sea : and the noise of his waves, and the I mad • ness of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be a \ fraid at • thy | tokens : thou that makest the outgoings of the morning · and | evening · to praise thee. 9 Thou visitest the earth · and blessest it : thou I makest.it | ve öryplenteous. 10 The river of God is full of water : thou preparest their corn, for so thou pro vi • dest for · the earth. ii Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little | valleys . there l of: thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and í blessest · the 1 in. crease of it. 12 Thou crownest the year with • thy | goodness: and I • thy clouds": drop fatness. 13 They shall drop upon the dwellings of the | wilderness: and the little hills shall rejoice • on i ev. ery | side. 14 The folds shall be full . of sheep: the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they · shall | laugh · and | sing. |
