\nand let us exalt his name together.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4\u00a0<\/sup>I sought the Lord<\/span>, and he heard me,<\/span>
\nand delivered me from all my fears.<\/span>
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>They looked unto him, and were lightened:<\/span>
\nand their faces were not ashamed.<\/span>
\n6\u00a0<\/sup>This poor man cried, and the Lord<\/span> heard him<\/i>,<\/span>

\nand<\/i> loveth many<\/i> days, that he may see good?<\/span>
\n13\u00a0<\/sup>Keep thy tongue from evil,<\/span>
\nand thy lips from speaking guile.<\/span>
\n14\u00a0<\/sup>Depart from evil, and do good;<\/span>
\nseek peace, and pursue it.<\/span>
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>The eyes of the Lord<\/span> are<\/i> upon the righteous,<\/span>
\nand his ears are open<\/i> unto their cry.<\/span>
\n16\u00a0<\/sup>The face of the Lord<\/span> is<\/i> against them that do evil,<\/span>
\nto cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.<\/span>

\nthe strength of the hills is<\/i> his also.<\/span>

To day if ye will hear his voice,<\/span>
\n8\u00a0<\/sup>harden not your heart, as in the provocation,<\/span>
\nand<\/i> as in<\/i> the day of temptation in the wilderness:<\/span>
\n9\u00a0<\/sup>when your fathers tempted me,<\/span>
\nproved me, and saw my work.<\/span>
\n10\u00a0<\/sup>Forty years long was I grieved with this<\/i> generation,<\/span>
\nand said, It is<\/i> a people that do err in their heart,<\/span>
\nand they have not known my ways:<\/span>

\nthat they should not enter into my rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

O Lord<\/span> my God, in thee do I put my trust:<\/span>
\nsave me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:<\/span>
\n2\u00a0<\/sup>lest he tear my soul like a lion,<\/span>
\nrending it<\/i> in pieces, while there is<\/i> none to deliver.<\/span>
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>O Lord<\/span> my God, if I have done this;<\/span>
\nif there be iniquity in my hands;<\/span>
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;<\/span>
\n(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)<\/span>
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;<\/i><\/span>
\nyea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,<\/span>
\nand lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6\u00a0<\/sup>Arise, O Lord<\/span>, in thine anger,<\/span>
\nlift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:<\/span>
\nand awake for me to<\/i> the judgment that<\/i> thou hast commanded.<\/span>
\n7\u00a0<\/sup>So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:<\/span>
\nfor their sakes therefore return thou on high.<\/span>
\n8\u00a0<\/sup>The Lord<\/span> shall judge the people:<\/span>
\njudge me, O Lord<\/span>, according to my righteousness,<\/span>
\nand according to mine integrity that is<\/i> in me.<\/span>
\n9\u00a0<\/sup>Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;<\/span>
\nbut establish the just:<\/span>
\nfor the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

10\u00a0<\/sup>My defence is<\/i> of God,<\/span>
\nwhich saveth the upright in heart.<\/span>
\n11\u00a0<\/sup>God judgeth the righteous,<\/span>
\nand God is angry with the wicked<\/i> every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

12\u00a0<\/sup>If he turn not, he will whet his sword;<\/span>
\nhe hath bent his bow, and made it ready.<\/span>
\n13\u00a0<\/sup>He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;<\/span>
\nhe ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.<\/span>
\n14\u00a0<\/sup>Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,<\/span>
\nand hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.<\/span>
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>He made a pit, and digged it,<\/span>
\nand is fallen into the ditch which<\/i> he made.<\/span>
\n16\u00a0<\/sup>His mischief shall return upon his own head,<\/span>
\nand his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

17\u00a0<\/sup>I will praise the Lord<\/span> according to his righteousness:<\/span>
\nand will sing praise to the name of the Lord<\/span> most high.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Prayer:\u00a0 Our Father, Who art in \u00a0Heaven, hallowed by Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.<\/p>\n

\nand forget not all his benefits:<\/span>
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>who forgiveth all thine iniquities;<\/span>
\nwho healeth all thy diseases;<\/span>
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>who redeemeth thy life from destruction;<\/span>
\nwho crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;<\/span>
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;<\/i><\/span>
\nso that<\/i> thy youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nhis acts unto the children of Israel.<\/span>

\nslow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.<\/span>
\n9\u00a0<\/sup>He will not always chide:<\/span>
\nneither will he keep his anger<\/i> for ever.<\/span>
\n10\u00a0<\/sup>He hath not dealt with us after our sins;<\/span>
\nnor rewarded us according to our iniquities.<\/span>
\n11\u00a0<\/sup>For as the heaven is high above the earth,<\/span>
\nso<\/i> great is his mercy toward them that fear him.<\/span>
\n12\u00a0<\/sup>As far as the east is from the west,<\/span>
\nso<\/i> far hath he removed our transgressions from us.<\/span>
\n13\u00a0<\/sup>Like as a father pitieth his<\/i> children,<\/span>
\nso<\/i> the Lord<\/span> pitieth them that fear him.<\/span>
\n14\u00a0<\/sup>For he knoweth our frame;<\/span>
\nhe remembereth that we are<\/i> dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

15\u00a0<\/sup>As for<\/i> man, his days are<\/i> as grass:<\/span>
\nas a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.<\/span>
\n16\u00a0<\/sup>For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;<\/span>
\nand the place thereof shall know it no more.<\/span>
\n17\u00a0<\/sup>But the mercy of the Lord<\/span> is<\/i> from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,<\/span>
\nand his righteousness unto children\u2019s children;<\/span>
\n18\u00a0<\/sup>to such as keep his covenant,<\/span>
\nand to those that remember his commandments to do them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

19\u00a0<\/sup>The Lord<\/span> hath prepared his throne in the heavens;<\/span>
\nand his kingdom ruleth over all.<\/span>
\n20\u00a0<\/sup>Bless the Lord<\/span>, ye his angels,<\/span>
\nthat excel in strength, that do his commandments,<\/span>
\nhearkening unto the voice of his word.<\/span>
\n21\u00a0<\/sup>Bless ye the Lord<\/span>, all ye<\/i> his hosts;<\/span>
\nye<\/i> ministers of his, that do his pleasure.<\/span>
\n22\u00a0<\/sup>Bless the Lord<\/span>, all his works in all places of his dominion:<\/span>
