3 He will assuredly deliver thee from the net of the ensnaring speaker of evil. 4 He will overspread thee with his wings, and under his feathers thou shalt be protected his truth shall be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid of alarm by night; neither of the arrow that flicth by day: 6 Of the pestilence that walketh in midnight-darkness; neither of the destruction that wasteth at noon-day. 7 These shall destroy a thousand on thy left side, and ten thousand on thy righthand; but they shall not touch thee: 8 Nevertheless, with thine eyes thou shalt behold, and see the recompence of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast said, "JEHOVAH is my refuge;" and hast made the most high thy protection : 10 No evil shall befall thee; neither any calamity approach thy dwelling. II For he shall charge his angels concerning thee, to guard thee in a thy ways: 12 In their hands they shall support thee, lest lest thou shouldest strike thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the viper and the aspic with safety; thou shalt trample upon the serpent and the adder without burt. 14 "Because he hath set his affections on me," saith Jehovah, "I will deliver him; I will exalt him, because he acknowledgeth my name: 15"When he calleth upon me, I will answer him; when he is in distress, I will be present with him; I will deliver him, and raise him to honour: 16" With length of days I will satisfy him, and show him my saving power." PSALM XCII. IT is good to give thanks unto JEHOVAH, and to praise thy name, o most high ! 2 To declare thy mercy early in the morning, and thy truth every night; 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and the lute; upon a melodious instrument, and upon the harp. 4 Because thou, O JEHOVAH! hast made made me to rejoice through thy works and through the operation of thine hands: 5 I sing loudly, saying; "How great, o JEHOVAH! are thy works! thy thoughts are exceedingly deep." 6 The foolish man doth not know, and the perverse man will not understand this; 7 While the wicked flourish like grass, and the workers of iniquity prosper, neither until they be destroyed for ever. 8 But thou, o JEHOVAH! shalt be exalted for ever; for, lo! thine enemies shall perish, and all the workers of iniquity shall be dispersed. 9 But thou shalt exalt mine horn, like that of the rhinoceros; and nine old age shall be vigorous with fatness: 10 Mine eye shall see what befalls those who lie in wait for me; mine ear shall hear what becomes of those who rise up against me. II The righteous man shall flourish like a palm-tree; he shall grow like the cedar of Lebanon. of 12 Those who are planted in the house JEHOVAH, shall flourish in the courts of Our GOD: 13 In old age, they shall continue to bear fruit; they shall be full of sap and vigorous; 14 To show that JEHOVAH, my defender, is just; and that there is no iniquity in him.

O JEHOVAH! thou reignest; thou art clothed with majesty: O JEHOVAH! thou art clothed with strength; thou art girded with might. 2 The world also thou hast established, that it can never be removed.. 3 Thy throne was established before all time; thou, O JEHOVAH! didst exist from all eternity. 4 O JEHOVAH! the floods lift up, the floods lift up their voice; the floods lift up their waves: 5 But JEHOVAH, who dwelleth on high, is more majestic than the sound of great waters, than the majestic waves of the sea. 6 Thy testimonies, O JEHOVAH! are very faithful; holiness becometh thine house for ever. PSALM PSALM XCIV. O JEHOVAH! thou, GOD, to whom vengeance belongeth; thou, GOD, to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. 2 Arise, thou judge of the earth; and recompense the proud according to their deserts. 3 How long shall the wicked, O JEHOVAH! how long shall the wicked exult? 4 How long shall all the workers of iniquity boast, and continue to utter perverse speeches ? 5 How long shall they smite thy people, O JEHOVAH! and afflict thine inheritance? 6 How long shall they slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless; 7 And say; JEHOVAH doth not see it, neither doth the GOD of Jacob regard it? 8 Attend to instruction, ye simple ones among the people! o ye perverse! when will ye learn wisdom? 9.
