- he leadeth me

in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Yea,

though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:- for thou art with me,
thy rod and thy | staff.. they | comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies :-
thou anointest my head with oil;

my cup.. runneth | over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord.. for- | ever.

slow to anger,

and plenteous..in | mercy.

9 He will not always chide,

neither will he keep his | anger.. for- | ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,

so great is his mercy toward | them.. that | fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

so far hath he removed our trans- | gres..sions | from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

so the Lord pitieth | them.. that I fear him.

4 BLESSED is the man whom thou choosest,·
and causest to approach unto thee,
that he may dwell.. in thy | courts:

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, — even of thy | ho..ly | temple.

5 By terrible things in righteousness

wilt thou answer us,

O God of..our sal- ] vation,

Who art the confidence of all the earth,

and of them that are afar | off.. upon the sea.

8 They that dwell in the uttermost parts
are a- fraid.. at thy | tokens;
I

Thou makest the outgoings of the morning
and evening..to re-
e-joice.

9 Thou visitest the earth and waterest it;

thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, —
which is full.. of water.

Thou preparest them corn

when thou hast so pro- | vi..ded | for it.

10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly;
thou settest the furrows.. there- | of;
Thou makest it soft with showers;

thou blessest the | springing.. there- | of.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;.
and thy paths.. drop | fatness.

13 The pastures are clothed with flocks,
the valleys also with corn;-
they shout for | joy.. and | sing.

there is no un- | righteousness..in | him.

1 THE heavens declare the glory of God;-
and the firmament showeth his | handy | work.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech,

and night unto | night..showeth | knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language where their voice.. is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end.. of the | earth.

5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run..a | race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, — and his circuit to the ends of it,

and there is nothing hid from the heat.. of the | sun

7 The law of the Lord is perfect,

con- verting.. the soul.

The testimony of the Lord is sure, —
making wise.. the | simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, -
re-joicing.. the heart.

The commandment of the Lord is pure,
en- lightening.. the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean,-
en- during.. for- | ever.

The judgments of the Lord are true,-
and righteous.. alto- | gether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, -
yea, than much fine gold;-

sweeter also than honey and the | honey

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned; and in keeping of them there is great.. re- | ward.

3 My voice thou shalt hear in the morning, O Lord;-in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will..look | up. 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; neither shall | evil..dwell | with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight;.
thou hatest all | workers.. of in- iquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:-
the Lord will abhor the de- [ ceit..ful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house;
and in thy fear will I worship
toward thy ho..ly | temple.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness,
because of mine enemies;

make thy way straight be- fore..my | face.

But let all those that put their

trust in thee.. re-joice;

Let them also that love thy name

be | joyful..in | thee
