unto the Lord; Selah:
[33] To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth
send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
[34] Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over
Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
[35] O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of
Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Pss.69
[1] Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
[2] I sink in deep mire, where there is no
standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
[3] I am weary of my crying: my
throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
[4] They that hate me without a cause are more
than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then
I restored that which I took not away.
[5] O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid
from thee.
[6] Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not
those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
[7] Because for thy sake I have borne
reproach; shame hath covered my face.
[8] I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto
my mother's children.
[9] For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that
reproached thee are fallen upon me.
[10] When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to
my reproach.
[11] I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
[12] They that sit
in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
[13] But as for me, my prayer is unto
thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy
salvation.
[14] Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate
me, and out of the deep waters.
[15] Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me
up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
[16] Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn
unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
[17] And hide not thy face from thy servant; for
I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
[18] Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine
enemies.
[19] Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are
all before thee.
[20] Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to
take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
[21] They gave me also gall for my
meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
[22] Let their table become a snare before them: and
that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
[23] Let their eyes be darkened, that
they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
[24] Pour out thine indignation upon them, and
let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
[25] Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their
tents.
[26] For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou
hast wounded.
[27] Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
[28] Let
them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
[29] But I am poor
and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
[30] I will praise the name of God with a song,
and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
[31] This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock
that hath horns and hoofs.
[32] The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek
God.
[33] For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
[34] Let the heaven and earth
praise him, the seas, and everything that moveth therein.
[35] For God will save Zion, and will build the
cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
[36] The seed also of his servants
shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
Pss.70
[1] Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
[2] Let them be ashamed and
confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my
hurt.
[3] Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
[4] Let all those that
seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
[5]
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make
no tarrying.
