vanity itself.

10 O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto
vanity: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same: that power
belongeth unto God;

1 2 And that thou, Lord, art merciful: for thou rewardest every
man according to his work.

PSALM 63. _Deus, Deus meus_.

O God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee.

2 My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee: in
a barren and dry land where no water is.

3 Thus have I looked for thee in holiness: that I might behold thy
power and glory.

4 For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself: my lips
shall praise thee.

5 As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner: and lift up
my hands in thy Name.

6 My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and

7 Have I not remembered thee in my bed: and thought upon thee when
I was waking?

8 Because thou hast been my helper: therefore under the shadow of
thy wings will I rejoice.

9 My soul hangeth upon thee: thy right hand hath upholden me.

12 But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by
him shall be commended: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall
be stopped.

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword: and shoot out their
arrows, even bitter words;

4 That they may privily shoot at him that is perfect: suddenly do
they hit him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in mischief: and commune among
themselves how they may lay snares, and say that no man shall see
them.

6 They imagine wickedness, and practise it: that they keep secret
among themselves, every man in the deep of his heart.

7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them with a swift arrow: that
they shall be wounded.

8 Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall: insomuch that whoso
seeth them shall laugh them to scorn.

9 And all men that see it shall say, This hath God done: for they
shall perceive that it is his work.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put
