11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12
Thy vows
are
upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt
not
thou deliver
my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
CHAPTER 57
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow
of thy wings will I make my refuge, until
these
calamities be overpast.
2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth
all things
for me.
3
He shall send from heaven, and save
from
the reproach of him that would swallow me up.
Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4
My soul
is
among lions:
and
I lie
even among
them that are set on fire,
even
the sons of
men, whose teeth
are
spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let
thy glory
be
above all the earth.
6
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit
before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves.
Selah.
7
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself
will awake early.
9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
let
thy glory
be
above all the earth.
CHAPTER 58
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking
lies.
4
Their poison
is
like the poison of a serpent:
they are
like the deaf adder
that
stoppeth her
ear;
5
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O
L
ORD
.
7
Let them melt away as waters
which
run continually:
when
he bendeth
his bow to shoot
his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
