hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness, I will rejoice, and divide
Sichem: and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine: Ephraim also is the
strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
8 Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
be thou glad of me.
9 Who will lead me into the strong city: who will bring me into
Edom?
10 Hast not thou cast us out, O God: wilt not thou, O God, go out
with our hosts?
11 O be thou our help in trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Through God will we do great acts: for it is he that shall
tread down our enemies.
PSALM 61. _Exaudi, Deus_.
Hear my crying, O God: give ear unto my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth will I call upon thee: when my heart
is in heaviness.
3 O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I: for thou hast
been my hope, and a strong tower for me against the enemy.
4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: and my trust shall be
under the covering of thy wings.
5 For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires: and hast given an
heritage unto those that fear thy Name.
6 Thou shalt grant the King a long life: that his years may endure
throughout all generations.
7 He shall dwell before God for ever: O prepare thy loving mercy
and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
8 So will I always sing praise unto thy Name: that I may daily
perform my vows.

2 He verily is my strength and my salvation: he is my defence, so
that I shall not greatly fall.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against every man: ye shall be
slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be,
and like a broken hedge.
4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt:
their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth,

before him, for God is our hope.

men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter
