Out of the mouth of the very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And what is the son of man that thou visitest him?

While mine enemies are driven back, they fall and perish at thy presence.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, and destroyed the ungodly; thou hast put out their name forever and ever.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above, out of his sight. Therefore defieth he all his enemies.

He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God, while he doth say in his heart, "Tush, thou God careth not for it?"

Surely thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong, that thou mayest take the matter into thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendless.

{A Prayer of David} Hear the right, O LORD; consider my complaint, and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.

They have children at their desire, and leave the rest of their substance for their babes. But as for me, I shall behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.

In my trouble I will call upon the LORD, and complain unto my God. So he shall hear my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint shall come before him: it shall enter even into his ears. {TYNDALE: In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.}

There went a smoke out in his presence, and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it. {TYNDALE: Smoke went up out of his nostrils, and consuming fire out of his mouth, that coals were kindled of him.}

He bowed the heavens, also, and came down, and it was dark under his feet. {TYNDALE: And he bowed heaven and came down, and darkness underneath his feet.}

At the brightness of his presence, his clouds removed hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: Of the brightness that was before him, coals were set on fire.}

The LORD also thundered out of the heaven, and the highest gave his thunder, with hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice.}

He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them. {TYNDALE: And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them.}

The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding, O LORD, at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasures. {TYNDALE: And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils.}

He shall send down from on high to fetch me, and shall take me out of many waters. {TYNDALE: He sent from on high and fetched me, and plucked me out of mighty waters.}

He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he brought me forth, even because he had a favor unto me. {TYNDALE: And he brought me out into roomth, and delivered me, because he delighted in me.}

For I have an eye unto all his laws, and will not cast out his commandments from me. {TYNDALE: But I had all his laws in my sight, and I turned my face from none of his ordinances.}

For in thee I can discomfit a host of men, and with the help of my God I shall leap over the wall. {TYNDALE: With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall.}

It is God that girdeth me with strength of war, and maketh my way perfect. {TYNDALE: God is my strength in war, and riddeth the way clear before me.}

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}

The strange children shall fail, and be afraid out of their prisons. {TYNDALE: And the aliens that shrink away shall tremble for fear in their defended places.}

Even the God that seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. {TYNDALE: It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.}

It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies, and setteth me up against mine adversaries: thou shalt rid me from the wicked man. {TYNDALE: And delivereth me from mine enemies: thou liftest me up on high from them that rise against me, and deliverest me from the wicked men.}

Their sound is gone out into all lands, and their words in to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.

It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Send thee help from the Sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; thy righthand shall find out them that hate thee.

His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.

Mine eyes are ever looking unto the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

The sorrows of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my troubles.

Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope hath been in thee.

Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his trouble.

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me: try out my reins and my heart.

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though a host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid; and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.

It is the LORD that commandeth the waters: It is the glorious God that maketh the thunder. It is the LORD that ruleth the sea.

Thou, LORD, hast brought my soul out of hell: thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down into the pit? Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? Or shall it declare thy truth?

Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me, for thou art my strength.

I am clean forgotten, as a dead man, out of mind; I am become like a broken vessel.

And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Lo, the poor crieth, and the LORD heareth him, yea, and saveth him out of all his troubles.

What man is he that lusteth to live, and would fain see good days?

Eschew evil, and do good; seek peace, and ensue it.

But the face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of all.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother; I went heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: Yea, the very lame came together against me unawares, making mouths at me, and ceased not.

They gape upon me with their mouths, saying, "There! There! We see it with our eyes!"

Let them not say in their hearts, "There! There! So would we have it!" Neither let them say, "We have devoured him."
