8 Thou haft fet our mifdeeds before thee, and our fecret fins in the light of thy countenance.

9 For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

7 A thousand shall fall befide thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it fhall not come nigh thee.

8 Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and fee the reward of the ungodly.

9 For thou, Lord, art my hope; thou haft fet thine houfe of defence very high.

12 Bleffed is the man whom thou chafteneft, O Lord, and teacheft him in thy law.

13 That thou mayeft give patience in time of adverfity, until the pit be dig ged up for the ungodly.
