Psalm six.
Lord, rebuke me not in Your anger, Neither chathten me in thy hot displeasure.
Have mercy upon me O Lord for I am weak.
Oh, Lord heal me for my bones are vexed.
My soul is also sore vexed, but thou oh Lord.
How long?
Return oh Lord deliver my soul.
Oh, save me for thy mercy's sake.
For in death, there is no remembrance of thee in the grave who shall give thee
thanks.
I am weary with my groaning all the night, make I my bed to swim.
I water my couch with my tears.
Mine eye is consumed because of grief.
It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord hath heard my supplication.
The Lord will receive my prayer.
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed.
Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalm seven.
Oh, Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust.
Save me from all them that persecute me and deliver me.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion rendering it in pieces
while there is none to deliver.
Oh Lord my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my
hands, if I have rewarded evil unto him, that was at peace with me.
Yeah, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy.
Let the enemy persecute my soul and take it.
Yay.
Let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay mine honor.
And the dust Selah.
Arise oh Lord in thine anger.
Lift up thy self because of the rage of mine enemies.
And awake for me to the judgment that thou hatht commanded.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about.
For their sakes, therefore return thou on high.
The Lord shall judge the people.
Judge me,
oh Lord.
According to my righteousness.
And according to my integrity, that is in me.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end.
But established the just for the righteous God try-eth the hearts and reins.
My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous.
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword, he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death.
He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Behold, he travaileth with inequity and have conceived mischief
and brought forth falsehood.
He made a pit and digged it.
And is fallen into the ditch, which he made.
His mischief shall return upon his own head and his violent dealing
shall come down upon his own pate.
I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness and will sing praise
to the name of the Lord most high.
Psalm eight.
Oh, Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth.
Who hath set the glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hatht thou ordained strength because
of thine enemies that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens the work of thy fingers, the moon and the
stars, which thou hatht ordained.
What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visited him.
For thohathas made him a little lower than the angels and hath
crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands.
Thou hath put all things under his feet.
All sheep and oxen.
Yay.
And the beast of the field.
The foul of the air and the fish of the sea and whatsoever passes
through the paths of the seas.
Oh, Lord our Lord how excellent is thy name in all the earth?
James Browning: Psalm nine.
I will praise thee, oh Lord with my whole heart.
I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee.
I will sing praise to thy name.
Oh, thou most high.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
For thhathhas maintained my right and my cause.
Thou sattest in the throne judging
right.
Thou hatht rebuked the heathen.
Thou hath destroyed the wicked.
Thou hath put out their name forever and ever.
Oh, thou, enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end,
and thou hath destroyed cities.
Their memorial is perished with them.
But the Lord shall endure forever.
He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness.
He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed.
A refuge in times of trouble.
For they that know thy name will put their trust in thee.
For thou Lord hath not forsaken them that seek thee.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion.
Declare among the people, his doings.
For he maketh inquisition for blood.
He remembereth them.
He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Have mercy upon me, oh Lord, consider my trouble, which I
suffer of them that hate me.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death.
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in thy salvation.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made in the net, which
they hid is their own foot taken.
The Lord is known by the judgment, which he executeth.
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
Higgaion selah.
The wicked shall be turned into hell and all of the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten.
The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
Arise.
Oh, Lord, let not man prevail.
Let the heathen be judged in thy site.
Put them in fear, oh Lord that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
Selah.
Psalm 10.
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord?
why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor.
Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the
covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
The wicked through the pride of its countenance will not seek after God.
God is not in all his thoughts.
His ways are always grievous.
Thy judgements are far above, out of his sight.
As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved for I shall never be in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.
He sitteth in the lurking places that the villages : in the secret places
doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
He lieth in wait, secretly as a lion in his den.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch
the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
He hath said in his heart.
God hath forgotten.
He hiddeth his face.
He will never see it.
Arise, o Lord.
Oh, God.
Lift up thine hand,
forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked condemn.
God?
He hath said in his heart, thou will not require it.
Thou hath seen it for thou beholdest mischief and spite to requite
it with thine hand, the poor committeth himself unto thee thou
art, the helper of the fatherless.
Break thou, the arm of the wicked and the evil man.
Seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
The Lord is king forever and ever, the heathen are perished out of his land.
Lord thou hast heard the desire of the humble.
Thou wilt prepare their heart.
Thou wilt cause thine ear to hear.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed that the man of
the earth may no more oppress.
