{A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise against me.

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field,

Therefore shalt thou put them to flight, and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them.

The LORD sitteth above the water-flood, and the LORD remaineth a King forever.

The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling of the most highest.

I know all the fowls upon the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight; whereby I know that thou art my God.

{To the Chanter, Destroy Not, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave} Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee: and under the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be overpast.

For lo, they lie in waiting for my soul; the mighty men are gathered together against me, without any offense or fault of me, O LORD.

They run and prepare themselves, without my fault; Arise thou therefore to help me, and behold.

Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

His dominion shall be from the one sea to the other, and from the flood unto the world's end.

Marvelous things did he in the sight of our forefathers; in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.

how he had wrought his miracles in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

And for the blasphemy wherewith our neighbours have blasphemed thee, reward them, O LORD, seven fold into their bosom.

The wild boar out of the wood hath rooted it up, and the beasts of the field have devoured it.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it, let all the trees of the wood leap for joy before the LORD, {TYNDALE: And let the fields rejoice and all that is therein. Moreover, let the trees of the wood ring at the presence of the LORD:}

that a man in his time is but as grass, and flourisheth as a flower of the field.

that all the beasts of the field may have drink, and that the wild asses may quench their thirst.

The sea saw that, and fled, Jordan turned back.
