'Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood;

The LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.

But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house;

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

"O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me;

Make Thy way straight before my face.

19 For there is no sincerity in their mouth;

Their inward part is a yawning gulf,

Their throat is an open sepulchre; They make smooth their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God,

Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them down in the multitude

of their transgressions;

Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.

"My soul also is sore affrighted; And Thou, O LORD, how long?

"Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; Save me for Thy mercy's sake. 6For in death there is no remembrance of Thee;

In the nether-world who will give Thee thanks?

'I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim;

I melt away my couch with my tears.

Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation;

It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

'Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

tion;

The LORD receiveth my prayer. "All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted;

They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.

7 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite.

20 LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge;

Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;

'Lest he tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

"O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples,

Judge me, O LORD, According to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 19Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked,

And that Thou wouldest establish the righteous;

For the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

"My shield is with God,

Who saveth the upright in heart. 12God is a righteous judge,

Yea, a God that hath indignation every day:

13If a man turn not, He will whet His sword,

He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;

14He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death,

Yea, His arrows which He made sharp.

15Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;|

20 LORD, our Lord,

How glorious is Thy name in all the earth!

Whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens.

3Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries; That Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

4When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers,

The moon and the stars, which Thou hast established;

5What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?

And the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him?

"Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels,

And hast crowned him with glory and honour.

"Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands;

Thou hast put all things under his feet:
