.

4 Deliver the outcast and poor: save them from the hand of the
ungodly.

5 They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods: and ye are all the children of the
most Highest.

7 But ye shall die like men: and fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth: for thou shalt take
all heathen to thine inheritance.

PSALM 83. _Deus, quis similis?_

Hold not thy tongue, O God, keep not still silence: refrain not
thyself, O God.

2 For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring: and they that hate
thee have lift up their head.

3 They have imagined craftily against thy people's and taken
counsel against thy secret ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us root them out, that they be
no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in
remembrance.

5 For they have cast their heads together with one consent: and
are confederate against thee;

6 The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismaelites: the Moabites
and Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek: the Philistines, with them that
dwell at Tyre.

8 Assur also is joined with them: and have holpen the children of

9 But do thou to them as unto the Madianites: unto Sisera, and

10 Who perished at Endor: and became as the dung of the earth.

11 Make them and their princes like Oreb and Zeb: yea, make all
their princes like as Zeba and Salmana;

12 Who say, Let us take to ourselves: the houses of God in
possession.

13 O my God, make them like unto a wheel: and as the stubble
before the wind;

14 Like as the fire that burneth up the wood: and as the flame
that consumeth the mountains.

15 Persecute them even so with thy tempest: and make them afraid
with thy storm.

16 Make their faces ashamed, O Lord: that they may seek thy Name.

17 Let them be confounded and vexed ever more and more: let them
be put to shame, and perish.

18 And they shall know that thou, whose Name is Jehovah: art only
the most Highest over all the earth.

PSALM 84. _Quam dilecta!_

O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts!

2 My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of
the Lord: my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a
nest where she may lay her young: even thy altars, O Lord of
hosts, my Bang an
