PSALM 57. Miserere mei, Deus. BE E 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' over-past. 2. I will call unto the most high God: even unto the God that shall perform the' cause which I' have in hand. 3. He shall' send from heaven and save me from the reproof of' him that would' eat me up. 4. God shall send forth his' mercy and truth my soul is a'mong lions. 5. And I lie even among the children of men, that are' set on fire: whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a' sharp sword. 6. Set up thyself, O God, a'bove the heavens and thy' glory above all the earth. 7. They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed' down my soul : they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the' midst of' it themselves. 8. My heart is fixed, O God, my' heart is fixed: I will' sing,' and give praise. 9. Awake up, my glory; awake,' lute and harp I my'self will a'wake right early. 10. I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, a'mong the people and I will sing unto thee a'mong the nations. 11. For the greatness of thy mercy reacheth un'to the heavens and thy' truth un'to the clouds. 12. Set up thyself, O God, a'bove the heavens and thy glory above' all the earth. PSALM 58. Si vere utique. ARE your minds set upon righte ousness, O ye' congregation: and do ye judge the thing that is right,' O ye' sons of men? 2. Yea, ye imagine mischief in your heart up on the earth: and your hands' deal with wickedness. 3. The ungodly are froward, even from their mother's womb as soon as they are born, they go a'stray,' and speak lies. 4. They are as venomous as the' poison of a serpent even like the deaf' adder that' stoppeth her ears; 5. Which refuseth to hear the voice of the charmer : charm'- he never so wisely. 6. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouths; smite the jaw-bones of the' lions, O Lord let them fall away like water that runneth apace; and when they shoot their arrows' let them be' rooted out. 7. Let them consume away like a snail, and be like the untimely fruit of a woman and let them not' see the sun. 8. Or ever your pots be made' hot with thorns so let indignation vex him, even' as a' thing that is raw. 9. The righteous shall rejoice when he' seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his footsteps in the' blood of' the ungodly. 10. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a re'ward for the righteous : doubtless there is a God that' judgeth the earth. 7. Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are' in their lips: for who' doth hear? 8. But thou, O Lord, shalt have them' in derision and thou shalt' laugh all the' heathen to scorn. 9. My strength will I as'cribe unto thee for thou art the' God of my refuge. 10. God sheweth me his' goodness plenteously and God shall let me see my de'sire up'on mine enemies. 11. Slay them not, lest my people forget it but scatter them abroad among the people, and put them down, O' Lord, our defence. 12. For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken in their pride and why? their' preaching is of' cursing and lies. 13. Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that' they may perish : and know that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and' unto the ends of the world. 14. And in the evening they' will return grin like a dog, and will' go a'bout the city. 15. They will run here and' there for meat and' grudge if they' be not satisfied. 16. As for me, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercy be'times in the morning for thou hast been my defence and' refuge in the' day of my trouble. 17. Unto thee, O my' strength, will I sing for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my' merciful God. PSALM 60. Deus, repulisti nos. GOD, thou hast cast us out, and' scattered us abroad: thou hast also been displeased; O' turn thee un'to us again. 2. Thou hast moved the land and divided it heal the' sores thereof,' for it shaketh. 3. Thou hast shewed thy people' heavy things thou hast given us a' drink of' deadly wine. 4. Thou hast given a token for such as fear thee that they may triumph be'cause' of the truth. 5. Therefore were thy be'loved delivered help me with' thy right' hand, and hear me. 6. God hath spoken in his holiness, I will rejoice, and di'vide Sichem : and mete' out the valley of Succoth. 7. Gilead is mine, and Ma'nasses is mine: Ephraim also is the strength of my head;' Judah' is my lawgiver; : 3. O set me up upon the rock that is' higher than I for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me a'gainst the enemy. 4. I will dwell in thy' tabernacle for ever and my trust shall be under the' covering of thy wings. 5. For thou, O Lord, hast' heard my desires and hast given an heritage unto' those that' fear thy Name. 6. Thou shalt grant the King a' long life that his years may endure through'out all' generations. 7. He shall dwell before' God for ever: O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him. 8. So will I alway sing praise un'to thy Name : that I may daily perform my vows. PSALM 59. Eripe me de inimicis. ELIVER me from mine' enemies, DELIVER me from O God: defend me from' them that rise up against me. 2. O deliver me from the' wicked doers and' save me from the blood thirsty men. 3. For lo, they lie waiting for my soul the mighty men are gathered against me, without any offence or fault of' me, O Lord. 4. They run and prepare themselves with out my fault: arise thou therefore to' help me,' and behold. 5. Stand up, O Lord God of hosts, thou God of Israel, to visit' all the heathen and be not merciful unto them that of'fend of ma'licious wicked ness. 6. They go to and fro in the evening they grin like a dog, and run a'bout' through the city. 10. God sheweth me his' goodness plenteously and God shall let me see my de'sire up'on mine enemies. 11. Slay them not, lest my people forget it but scatter them abroad among the people, and put them down, O' Lord, our defence. 12. For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken' in their pride and why? their' preaching is of' cursing and lies. 13. Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that' they may perish : and know that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and' unto the ends of the world. 14. And in the evening they' will return grin like a dog, and will' go a'bout the city. 15. They will run here and' there for meat and grudge if they' be not satisfied. 16. As for me, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercy be'times in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and' refuge in the' day of my trouble. 17. Unto thee, O my' strength, will I sing for thou, O God, art my refuge, and my' merciful God. PSALM 60. Deus, repulisti nos. : GOD, thou hast cast us out, and' scattered us abroad thou hast also been displeased; O' turn thee un'to us again. 2. Thou hast moved the land and divided it: heal the' sores thereof,' for it shaketh. 3. Thou hast shewed thy people' heavy things thou hast given us a drink of' deadly wine. 4. Thou hast given a token for such as fear thee that they may triumph || be'cause' of the truth. 5. Therefore were thy beloved delivered help me with' thy right' hand, and hear me. 6. God hath spoken in his holiness, I will rejoice, and di'vide Sichem : and mete' out the' valley of Succoth. 7. Gilead is mine, and Ma'nasses is mine Ephraim also is the strength of my head;' Judah' is my lawgiver; HEA EAR my crying, O God give' ear un'to my prayer. 2. From the ends of the earth will I' call upon thee: when my heart' is in heaviness. 3. O set me up upon the rock that is' higher than I for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me a'gainst the enemy. 4. I will dwell in thy' tabernacle for ever: and my trust shall be under the' covering of thy wings. 5. For thou, O Lord, hast' heard my desires and hast given an heritage unto' those that fear thy Name. 6. Thou shalt grant the King a long life that his years may endure through'out all' generations. 7.
