And the channels of waters were feene,and the foundations of the world were revealed : at thy rebuke , Jehovah , at the breath of the wind of rune anger. He rent from the high place, he Cooke me, he drew wee out of many waters. Hee rid mee from my ftrong enemie, and from my haters, for they were mightier than I. They preven- ted me in the day of my cloudy calamitie : and Jehovah was for a ftaffe unto me. And hebrought me forth to a large roomth : he releafed me becaufe bee delighted in mee. Jehovah rewarded me according to my ju- ftice : according to the pureneffe of my hands rendred he unto me. Becaufe I ob- ferved the waies ofJehovah, and did not wickedly from my God. For all his judge- ments were before me, and his decrees I did not turne away from me. And I was per. feet with him, and kept my felfe from mine iniquitie. And Jehovah rendred to me ac- cording to my juftice, according to the purencffe of my hands before his eyes. With the gracious Saint thouwilt Phew thy felfe gracious: with the perfeú man thou wilt thew thy felfe perfeâ. With the pure thouwilt thew thy felfe pure : and with the froward thou wilt thew thy felfe wry. For thou wilt fave the poore, altlifted people, and wilt bring low the lofty eyes. For thou haft lighted my candle, Jehovah my God bath brightned my darkneffe. For by thee I have broken thorow an hola, and by my God I have leaped over a wall. God his way is perfect, the Paying of Jehovah is tried,he is a fbield to all that hope for fafety in him. For whois God betides Jehovah and who is a Rocke except our God t' God that girdeth me with valour , and giveth my way perfe &. He matched] my feet as Hindes feet : and upon my high places hee maketh me Rand. He learneth my hands , to the warre, and a bow of braffe is broken with,rnine armes. And thou haft given to me the fhield of thy falvation: and thy right hand bath upheld me, and thy meekneffe hash made me to increafe. Thou bait wide- ned my paffage under me : and my legs have not flaggered. I followed mine enemies, and .overtooke them, and turned not rill I had confumcd them. I wounded them, and they could not rife up : they fell under my feet. And thou haft girded me with valour to the wane : them that role againft me thou haft made to ftoope downe under me. ' And thou haft given to mee the necke of 4t mine enemies and them that hated nie I have fuppreffed. They cried our, but there 42 ,vres none to fave ; unto Jehovah, buthe an- I fwered them not. And I did beat them 43 (mall as duff before the wind : as the clay of the ftreets, I did powre them out. Thou 44 haft delivered me from the contentions of the people: thou haft put me for the head of the heathens : a people whom I have not known doe ferve me. At the hearing ofthe care they obey me : the fops ofthe ftranger faltly denie unto me. The Eons of the (Iran- 46 ger fade away and flrinke for fore, out of their clofets. Jehovah live, and bleffed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my fal- vation. The God that giveth vengeances to 48 me, and fubdueth peoples under me.My de- 49 liverer from mine enemies, alto from them that rote up againft me , thou haft exalted me, from the man of violent wrong thou haft rid me. Therefore I will confeflè thee 50 among the heathens, Jehovah , and to thy' name I will fing Pfalme.
