He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;

He burneth the chariots in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted in the earth.
Jehovah of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

HAVE mercy upon me, O God, accord

ing to thy lovingindness:

According to the multitude of thy tender
mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions;
And my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
And done that which is evil in thy sight;
That thou mayest be justified when thou
speakest,

And be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;

And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than

Hide thy face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence;
And take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salva-
tion;

And uphold me with a willing spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

And sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;

And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips;

And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it:

Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

be merciful unto us, and bless us, And cause his face to shine upon us; That thy way may be known upon earth. Thy salvation among all nations. Let the peoples praise thee, O God; Let all the peoples praise thee.

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,

And govern the nations upon earth.
Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
The earth hath yielded its increase:
God, even our own God, will bless us.
God will bless us;

And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

And shall declare thy mighty acts.

Of the glorious majesty of thine honor, And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts;

And I will declare thy greatness.
They shall utter the memory of thy great
goodness,

And shall sing of thy righteousness.
Jehovah is gracious, and merciful;
Slow to anger, and of great lovingkind-

ness.

Jehovah is good to all;

And his tender mercies are over all his works.

All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah;

And thy saints shall bless thee.

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,

And talk of thy power;

Goodness and Power.

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,

And the glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

Jehovah upholdeth all that fall,

And raiseth up all those that are bowed down.

The eyes of all wait for thee;

And thou givest them their food in due

season.

Thou openest thy hand,

And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Jehovah is righteous in all his ways,
And gracious in all his works.
Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call
upon him,

To all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him;

He also will hear their cry and will save them.

Jehovah preserveth all them that love him;

But all the wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah;

And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
