shall ye be as the wings of a dove: that is covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold. When the ALMIGHTY scattered kings for their sake then were they as white as snow in Salmon. : As the hill of Basan, so is God's hill : even an high hill, as the hill of Basan. Why hop ye so, ye high hills? this is GOD's hill, in the which it pleaseth Him to dwell yea, the LORD will abide in it for ever. The chariots of GOD are twenty thousand, even thousands of Angels: and the LORD is among them, as in the holy place of Sinai. Thou art gone up on high, Thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men: yea, even for Thine enemies, that the LORD GOD might dwell among them. Praised be the LORD daily even the GOD Who helpeth us, and poureth His benefits upon us. He is our GOD, even the GOD of Whom cometh salvation: GOD is the LORD, by Whom we escape death. GOD shall wound the head of His enemies and the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his wickedness. : The LORD hath said, I will bring My people again, as I did from Basan: Mine own will I bring again, as I did sometime from the deep of the sea. That Thy foot may be dipped in the blood of Thine enemies and that the tongue of Thy dogs may be red through the same. It is well seen, O GOD, how Thou goest: how Thou, my GOD and King, goest in the sanctuary. The singers go before, the minstrels follow after in the midst are the damsels playing with the timbrels. : Give thanks, O Israel, unto GOD the LORD in the congregations from the ground of the heart. There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah their council: the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephthali. Thy GOD hath sent forth strength for thee: stablish the thing, O GOD, that Thou hast wrought in us, For Thy Temple's sake at Jerusalem : so shall kings bring presents unto Thee. When the company of the spear-men and multitude of the mighty are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they humbly bring pieces of silver : and when He hath scattered the people that delight in war; Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: the Morians' land shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Sing unto GOD, O ye kingdoms of the earth: O sing praises unto the LORD, Who sitteth in the heavens over all from the beginning lo, He doth send out His voice, yea, and that a mighty voice. Ascribe ye the power to GOD over Israel: His worship and strength is in the clouds. O GOD, wonderful art Thou in Thy holy places even the GOD of Israel; He will give strength and power unto His people; blessed be GOD. BENEDIC, ANIMA MEA. PRAISE the LORD, O my soul: O LORD my GOD, Thou art become exceeding glorious, Thou art clothed with majesty and honour. Thou deckest Thyself with light as it were with a garment and spreadest out the heavens like a curtain. : Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters and maketh the clouds His chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. He maketh His Angels spirits: and His ministers a flaming fire. He laid the foundations of the earth : that it never should move at any time. Thou coveredst it with the deep like as Psalm civ. with a garment the waters stand in the hills. At Thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of Thy thunder they are afraid. They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath : even unto the place which Thou hast appointed for them. Thou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass : neither turn again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the rivers : which run among the hills. All beasts of the field drink thereof : and the wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation: and sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from above: the earth is filled with the fruit of Thy works. He bringeth forth grass for the cattle : and green herb for the service of men ; That He may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make him a cheerful coun |
