17 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD, in the | land · of the living. 18 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: | wait, I say, on the | LORD. PSALM XXIX. 1 GIVE unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the | beauty of | holiness. 3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is up--on many | waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of | majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the | cedars · of | Lebanon. 6 The voice of the LORD di- | -videth · the | flames of fire. 7 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the | wilderness of Kadesh. T 8 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the | LORD sitteth | King for | ever. 9 The LORD will give strength un- | -to · his | people. 10 The LORD will | bless his people with | peace. PSALM XXXIII. 1 REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright. 2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an | instru- · -ment of ten strings. 3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are | done in | truth. 5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the LORD. goodness of the | 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the | breath of his― | mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the ❘ depth in store-houses. 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in | awe ⚫ of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood | fast. 10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of | none ef- |-fect. 11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all gene-rations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his | own in- | -her- -i- | -tance. 13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the in- | -habi- · -tants | of the | earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not de- |-liver'd by much strength. 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great | strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in | his mercy. | 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them a- |-live in | famine. 20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our | help and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his | ho- -ly | name. 22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, ac- | -cording as we hope in thee. PSALM XXXIV. 1 I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in ⚫ mouth. my 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear there- |-of, and ⚫ be glad. 30 magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name to- | -gether. · 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and de--liver'd me from all my | fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not a- | -shamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him | out of | all · his | troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and de- | -liver• -eth❘ them. 80 taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the ❘ man that trusteth in | him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that | fear— | him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that | he may see | good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speak- -ing | guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace | and pur- | -sue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open un- | -to their | cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the re- | -membrance · of them from the | earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as | be · of a con--trite | spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not | one of | them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous | shall be desolate. 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him. |
