All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them as a garment;

As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.

And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

As well the singers as the dancers shall say, All my springs are in thee.

I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:

But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.

Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
