Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time.

Which laid out the earth above the waters! For his mercy endureth forever.

Thou hast fashioned me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

I have chosen the way of truth, thy judgments have I laid before me.

Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another; thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

The ungodly lay wait for me to destroy me, but I consider thy testimonies.

The ungodly have laid a snare for me; but yet swerve I not from thy commandments.

It is time for thee, O LORD, to lay to thine hand; for they have destroyed thy law.

The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread a net abroad with cords, yea and set traps in my way. Selah.

Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me, and from the traps of the wicked doers.

When my spirit is in heaviness, thou knowest my path: in the way wherein I walk have they privily laid a snare for me.
