5 Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; My heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; Put not thy servant away in anger : Thou hast been my help; leave me not, Neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. my Then the LORD will take me up. 10 Teach me thy way, O LORD, And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 15 I had fainted, unless I had believed 20 25 To see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart : Wait, I say, on the LORD. PSALM XXVIII Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: Lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity, Which speak peace to their neighbours, But mischief is in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavours: Render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up. Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in him, and I am helped : And he is the saving strength of his anointed. up for ever. PSALM XXIX Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, Give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth : The LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 IO 20 25 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, To And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. Yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; PSALM XXX 15 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, And thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: 20 Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: 25 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong. Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD; And unto the LORD I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. PSALM XXXI In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: Deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; Deliver me speedily: Be thou my strong rock, For an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: For thou art my strength. ΤΟ 15 20 25 5 10 15 20 25 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: For thou hast considered my trouble; Thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: Thou hast set my feet in a large room. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: Mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, I was a reproach among all mine enemies, They that did see me without fled from me. I For I have heard the slander of many : Fear was on every side: : While they took counsel together against me, they de vised to take away my life. But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand : Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, And from them that persecute me. |
