\cl PSALM 1
\p
\v 1 Blessed \em is\em* the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence.
\p
\v 2 But his will \em is\em* in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night.
\p
\v 3 And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity.
\p
\v 4 Not so wicked men, not so; but \em they be\em* as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth.
\p
\v 5 Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men \add [nor the sinful in the council of the rightwise]\add*.
\p
\v 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of just men \add [or the rightwise]\add*; and the way of wicked men shall perish.
\c 2
\cl PSALM 2
\p
\v 1 Why gnashed with teeth heathen men; and peoples thought vain things?
\p
\v 2 The kings of earth stood together; and princes came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
\p
\v 3 Break we the bonds of them; and cast we away the yoke of them from us.
\p
\v 4 He that dwelleth in heavens shall scorn them; and the Lord shall bemock them.
\p
\v 5 Then he shall speak to them in his wrath; and he shall trouble them in his strong vengeance.
\p
\v 6 Soothly I am ordained of him a king upon Zion, his holy hill;
\p
\v 7 preaching his commandment. The Lord said to me, Thou art my son; I have begotten thee today.
\p
\v 8 Ask thou of me, and I shall give to thee heathen men \em for\em* thine heritage; and \em for\em* thy possession the terms of earth.
\p
\v 9 Thou shalt govern them in an iron rod; and thou shalt break them altogether as the vessel of a potter.
\p
\v 10 And now, ye kings, understand; ye that deem the earth, be ye learned.
\p
\v 11 Serve ye the Lord with dread; and make ye full out joy to him with trembling.
\p
\v 12 Take ye lore \em of chastising\em*; lest the Lord be wroth sometime, and ye perish from the just way. When his wrath shall burn out in short time; blessed \em be\em* all they, that trust in him.

\cl PSALM 3
\p
\v 1 \em The psalm of David, when he fled from the face of Absalom, his son\em*. Lord, why be they multiplied that trouble me? many men rise against me.
\p
\v 2 Many men say of my soul, None health there is to him in his God.
\p
\v 3 But thou, Lord, art mine up-taker; my glory, and enhancing mine head.
\p
\v 4 With my voice I cried to the Lord; and he heard me from his holy hill.
\p
\v 5 I slept, and rested, and I rose up; for the Lord received me.
\p
\v 6 I shall not dread thousands of people encompassing me;
\p
\v 7 Lord, arise thou; my God, make me safe. For thou hast smitten all men being adversaries to me without cause; thou hast all-broken the teeth of sinners.
\p
\v 8 Health is of the Lord; and thy blessing \em is\em* on thy people.
\c 4
\cl PSALM 4
\p
\v 1 \em To the victory, in organs, the psalm of David\em*. When I inwardly called, God of my rightwiseness heard me; in tribulation thou hast alarged to me. Have thou mercy on me; and hear thou my prayer.
\p
\v 2 Sons of men, how long \em be ye\em* of heavy heart? why love ye vanity, and seek leasing?
\p
\v 3 And know ye, that the Lord hath made marvellous his holy man; the Lord shall hear me, when I shall cry to him.
\p
\v 4 Be ye wroth, and do not ye sin; and \em for those evils to\em* which ye say in your hearts and in your beds, be ye compunct.
\p
\v 5 Sacrifice ye the sacrifice or Offer ye an offering of rightfulness \add [or right-wiseness]\add*, and hope ye in the Lord;
\p
\v 6 many say, Who showed good things to us? Lord, the light of thy cheer is marked upon us;
\p
\v 7 thou hast given gladness in mine heart. They be multiplied of the fruit of wheat, \em and\em* of wine; and of their oil.
\p
\v 8 In peace in the same thing; I shall sleep, and take rest. For thou, Lord; hast set me singularly or only in hope.
\c 5
\cl PSALM 5
\p
\v 1 \em To the overcomer, on the heritages, the psalm of David\em*. Lord, perceive thou my words with ears; understand thou my cry.
\p
\v 2 My King, and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;
\p
\v 3 hear thou early my voice. Early I shall stand nigh to thee, and I shall see;
\p
\v 4 for thou art God not desiring wickedness. Neither an evil-willed man shall dwell beside thee;
\p
\v 5 neither unjust \add [or unrightwise]\add* men shall dwell before thine eyes. Thou hatest all \em them\em* that work wickedness;
\p
\v 6 thou shalt lose \em them\em* that speak leasing. The Lord shall hold abomin-able a man-queller, and a guileful man.
\p
\v 7 But \em Lord\em*, in the multitude of thy mercy, I shall enter into thine house; I shall worship toward thine holy temple in thy dread.
\p
\v 8 Lord, lead thou forth me in thy rightwiseness for mine enemies; dress thou my way in thy sight.
\p
\v 9 For truth is not in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues;
\p
\v 10 God, deem thou them. Fall they down from their thoughts; after the multitude of their wickednesses, \em or un-piousnesses\em*, cast thou them down; for, Lord, they have stirred thee to wrath.
\p
\v 11 And all that hope in thee, be they glad; they shall make full out joy \add [into]\add* without end, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all that love thy name shall have glory in thee;
\p
\v 12 for thou shalt bless the just \add [or right-wise]\add* man. Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

\cl PSALM 6
\p
\v 1 \em To the overcomer in psalms, the psalm of David, on the eighth\em*. Lord, reprove thou not me in thy strong vengeance; neither chastise thou me in thine ire.
\p
\v 2 Lord, have thou mercy on me, for I am sick; Lord, make thou me whole, for all my bones be troubled.
\p
\v 3 And my soul is troubled greatly; but thou, Lord, how long?
\p
\v 4 Lord, be thou converted or turned again, and deliver my soul; make thou me safe, for thy mercy.
\p
\v 5 For none there is in death, that is mindful of thee; but in hell who shall acknowledge to thee?
\p
\v 6 I travailed in my wailing, I shall wash my bed by each night; I shall moisten, \em either make wet\em*, my bedstraw with my tears.
\p
\v 7 Mine eye is troubled of strong vengeance; I waxed eld \em or old\em* among all mine enemies.
\p
\v 8 All ye that work wickedness, depart from me; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
\p
\v 9 The Lord hath heard my beseech-ing; the Lord hath received my prayer.
\p
\v 10 All mine enemies be ashamed, and be troubled greatly; be they turned altogether, and be they ashamed full swiftly.
\c 7
\cl PSALM 7
\p
\v 1 \em For the ignorance of David, which he sang to the Lord, on the words of Ethiopian, the son of Benjamin\em*. My Lord God, I have hoped in thee; make thou me safe from all that pursue me, and deliver thou me.
\p
\v 2 Lest any time he as a lion ravish my soul; while none there is that again-buyeth, neither that maketh safe.
\p
\v 3 My Lord God, if I did this thing, if wickedness is in mine hands, \em or works\em*;
\p
\v 4 if I yielded to men yielding to me evils, fall I by deserving void from mine enemies;
\p
\v 5 mine enemy pursue he my soul, and take he, and defoul my life in earth; and bring my glory into dust.
\p
\v 6 Lord, rise thou up in thine ire; and be thou raised \em up\em* in the coasts of mine enemies. And, my Lord God, rise thou up in the commandment, which thou hast commanded;
\p
\v 7 and the synagogue of peoples shall encompass thee. And for this go thou again on high;
\p
\v 8 the Lord deemeth peoples. Lord, deem thou me by my rightfulness \add [or rightwiseness]\add*; and by mine innocence on me.
\p
\v 9 The wickedness of sinners be ended; and thou, God, seeking the hearts, \em that is, thoughts\em*, and reins, \em that is, delightings\em*, shall dress a just \add [or rightwise]\add* man.
\p
\v 10 My just \add [or rightwise]\add* help \em is\em* of the Lord; that maketh safe rightful men in heart.
\p
\v 11 The Lord \em is\em* a just \add [or rightwise]\add* judge, strong and patient; whether he is wroth by all days?
\p
\v 12 If ye be not converted, he shall flourish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
\p
\v 13 And therein he hath made ready the vessels of death; he hath fully made his arrows with burning things.
\p
\v 14 Lo! \em the wicked\em* hath conceived sorrow; he painfully hath brought forth unrightfulness \add [or unrightwiseness]\add*, and he hath childed wickedness.
\p
\v 15 He opened a pit, and digged it out; and he fell into the ditch which he made.
\p
\v 16 His sorrow shall be turned into his head; and his wickedness shall come down into his neck.
\p
\v 17 I shall acknowledge to the Lord by his rightfulness \add [or rightwiseness]\add*; and I shall sing to the name of the highest Lord.
\c 8
\cl PSALM 8
\p
\v 1 \em To the overcomer, for\em*\add [the]\add*\em pressers\em*\add [or wine presses]\add*, \em the psalm of David\em*. Lord, \em thou art\em* our Lord; thy name is full wonderful in all \add [the]\add* earth. For thy great doing is raised up, above heavens.
\p
\v 2 Of the mouth of young children, not speaking and sucking milk, thou hast made perfect praising, for thine enemies; that thou destroy the enemy and the avenger.
\p
\v 3 For I shall see thine heavens, the works of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast founded.
\p
\v 4 What is a man, \em that is mankind\em*, that thou art mindful of him; either the son of a virgin \add [or the son of man]\add*, for thou visitest him?
\p
\v 5 Thou hast made him a little less than angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour,
\p
\v 6 and thou hast ordained him above the works of thine hands. Thou hast made subject all things under his feet;
\p
\v 7 all sheep and oxen, furthermore and the beasts of the field;
\p
\v 8 the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, \em and all the other creatures\em* that pass by the paths of the sea.
\p
\v 9 Lord, our Lord; how wonderful is thy name in all \add [the]\add* earth.
\c 9
\cl PSALM 9
\p
\v 1 \em Into the end, for the privates of the son, the psalm of David\em*. Lord, I shall acknowledge to thee in all mine heart; I shall tell all thy marvels.
\p
\v 2 Thou Highest, I shall be glad, and I shall be fully joyful \add [or full out joy]\add* in thee; I shall sing to thy name.
\p
\v 3 For thou turnest mine enemy aback; they shall be made feeble, and shall perish from thy face.
\p
\v 4 For thou hast made my doom, and my cause; thou, that deemest rightfulness \add [or rightwiseness]\add*, hast set on the throne.
\p
\v 5 Thou hast blamed heathen men, and the wicked perished; thou hast done away the name of them into the world, and into the world of world.
\p
\v 6 The swords of the enemy have failed into the end; and thou hast destroyed the cities of them. The mind of them hath perished with sound;
\p
\v 7 and the Lord dwelleth without end. He hath made ready his throne in doom;
\p
\v 8 and he shall deem the world in equity, he shall deem peoples in rightfulness \add [or rightwiseness]\add*.
\p
\v 9 And the Lord is made refuge, \em either help\em*, to a poor man; an helper in covenable times in tribulation.
\p
\v 10 And they, that know thy name, have hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
\p
\v 11 Sing ye \add [psalms]\add* to the Lord, that \em dwelleth\em* in Zion; tell ye his studies among heathen men.
\p
\v 12 God forgetteth not the cry of poor men; for he hath mind \em of them\em*, and he seeketh the blood of them.
\p
\v 13 Lord, have thou mercy on me; see thou my meekness of mine enemies. Which enhancest me from the gates of death;
\p
\v 14 that I tell all thy praisings in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I shall be fully joyful or joy fully in thine health;
\p
\v 15 heathen men be fast-set in the perishing, which they made. In this snare, which they hid, the foot of them is caught.
\p
\v 16 The Lord making dooms shall be known; the sinner is taken in the works of his hands.
\p
\v 17 Sinners be turned altogether into hell; all folks, that forget God.
\p
\v 18 For the forgetting of a poor man shall not be into the end; the patience of poor men shall not perish into the end.
\p
\v 19 Lord, rise thou up, a man be not comforted; \add [the]\add* folks be deemed in thy sight.
\p
\v 20 Lord, ordain thou a law-maker upon them; know folks, that they be men.
\c 10
\cl PSALM 10
\p
\v 1 Lord, why hast thou gone far away? thou despisest us in covenable times in tribulation.
\p
\v 2 While the wicked man waxeth proud, the poor man is burnt; they be taken in the \em wicked\em* counsels, which they thinked.
\p
\v 3 For why the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul; and the wicked is blessed. The sinner hath stirred the Lord to wrath;
\p
\v 4 after the multitude of his wrath, he shall not seek \em after God\em*. God is not in his sight;
\p
\v 5 his ways be defouled in all time. Thy dooms be taken away from his face; he shall be lord of all his enemies.
\p
\v 6 For he said in his heart, I shall not be moved, from generation into gener-ation without evil.
\p
\v 7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of guile; travail and sorrow \em is\em* under his tongue.
\p
\v 8 He sitteth in ambushes with rich men in privates; to slay the innocent man. His eyes behold \em cruelly\em* on the poor man;
\p
\v 9 he setteth ambushes in hid place, as a lion in his den. He setteth ambushes, for to ravish a poor man; for to ravish a poor man, while he draweth \em in\em* the poor man. In his snare he shall make meek the poor man;
\p
\v 10 he shall bow himself down, and he shall fall, when he hath been lord of poor men.
\p
\v 11 For he said in his heart, God hath forgotten; he hath turned away his face, that he see not into the end.
\p
\v 12 Lord God, rise thou up, and thine hand be enhanced; forget thou not poor men.
\p
\v 13 For what thing stirred the wicked man God to wrath? for he said in his heart, \em God\em* shall not seek.
\p
\v 14 Thou seest, for thou beholdest travail and sorrow; that thou take them into thine hands. The poor man is left to thee; thou shalt be an helper to the fatherless and motherless.
\p
\v 15 All-break thou the arm of the sinner, and evil-willed; his sin shall be sought, and it shall not be found.
\p
\v 16 The Lord shall reign without end, and into the world of world; folks, ye shall perish from the land of him.
\p
\v 17 The Lord hath heard the desire of poor men; thine ear hath heard the making ready of their heart.

\p
\v 1 \em To the victory\em*, \add [the psalm]\add*\em of David\em*. I trust in the Lord; how say ye to my soul, Pass thou over into the hill, as a sparrow \em doeth\em*?
\p
\v 2 For lo! sinners have bent a bow; they have made ready their arrows in an arrow case; that they shoot in darkness the rightful men in heart.
\p
\v 3 For they have destroyed, whom thou hast made perfect; but what did the rightful \add [or rightwise]\add* man?
\p
\v 4 The Lord \em is\em* in his holy temple; \em he is\em* Lord, his seat \em is\em* in heaven. His eyes behold on the poor man; his eyelids ask the sons of men.
\p
\v 5 The Lord asketh a just \add [or right-wise]\add* man, and an unfaithful man; but he, that loveth wickedness, hateth his soul.
\p
\v 6 He shall rain snares upon sinners; fire, and brimstone, and the spirit of tempests \em be\em* the part of the cup of them.
\p
\v 7 For the Lord \em is\em* just \add [or rightwise]\add*, and loveth rightfulnesses \add [or rightwise-ness]\add*; his cheer hath seen evenness, \em or equity\em*.

\cl PSALM 12
\p
\v 1 \em To the victory, on the eighth, the song of David\em*. Lord, make thou me safe, for the holy \em man\em* failed; for truths be made little from the sons of men.
\p
\v 2 They spake vain things, each man to his neighbour; \em and they having\em* guileful lips, spake in their heart, and with their heart.
\p
\v 3 The Lord destroy all guileful lips; and the great speaking tongue.
\p
\v 4 Which said, We shall magnify \em with\em* our tongue, our lips be of us-selves; who \em else\em* is our lord?
\p
\v 5 For the wretchedness of needy men, and for the wailing of poor men; now I shall rise up, saith the Lord. I shall set \em him\em* in health; I shall do trustily in him.
\p
\v 6 The speeches of the Lord be chaste speeches; silver assayed by fire, proved from the earth, purged sevenfold.
\p
\v 7 Thou, Lord, shalt keep us; and thou shalt keep us from this gener-ation without end.

\v 1 \em To the victory\em*, \add [the psalm]\add*\em of David\em*. Lord, how long forgettest thou me, into the end? how long turnest thou away thy face from me?
\p
\v 2 How long shall I set counsel in my soul; sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be raised up on me?
\p
\v 3 My Lord God, behold thou, and hear thou me. Lighten thou mine eyes, lest any time I sleep in death;
\p
\v 4 lest any time mine enemy say, I had the mastery against him. They, that trouble me, shall have joy, if I shall be stirred;
\p
\v 5 but I hoped in thy mercy. Mine heart shall fully have joy in thine health;

\v 3 All bowed away, altogether they be made unprofitable; none is that doeth good, none is till to one. The throat of them is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues; the venom of snakes \em is\em* under their lips. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet \em be\em* swift to shed out blood. Sorrow and cursed-ness \em is\em* in the ways of them, and they knew not the way of peace; the dread of God is not before their eyes.
\p
\v 4 Whether all men that work wicked-ness shall not know; that devour my people, as meat of bread? They called not the Lord;
\p
\v 5 they trembled there for dread, where was no dread; for the Lord is in a rightful \add [or rightwise]\add* generation.
\p
\v 6 Thou hast shamed the counsel of a poor man; for the Lord is his hope.

\p
\v 35 And it ate all the hay in the land of them; and it ate all the fruit of the land of them.
\p
\v 36 And he killed each the first engen-dered thing in the land of them; the first fruits of all the travail of them.
\p
\v 37 And he led out them with silver and gold; and none was sick in the lineages of them.
\p
\v 38 Egypt was glad in the going out of them; for the dread of them lay on Egyptians.
\p
\v 39 He spreaded abroad a cloud, into the covering of them; and fire, that it shined to them by night.
\p
\v 40 They asked, and a curlew came; and he \add [ful]\add* filled them with the bread of heaven.
\p
\v 41 He brake the stone, and waters flowed; floods went forth in the dry place.
\p
\v 42 For he was mindful of his holy word; which he had to Abraham, his servant.
\p
\v 43 And he led out his people in full out joying; and his chosen men in gladness.

\p
\v 1 \em A psalm of David\em*. Blessed \em be\em* my Lord God, that teacheth mine hands to war; and my fingers to battle.
\p
\v 2 My mercy, and my refuge; my taker-up, and my deliverer. My defender, and I hoped in him; and thou makest subject my people under me.
\p
\v 3 Lord, what is a man, for thou hast made \em thyself\em* known to him; either the son of man, for thou areckonest him of some value?
\p
\v 4 A man is made like vanity; his days pass as \em a\em* shadow.
\p
\v 5 Lord, bow down thine heavens, and come thou down; touch thou \add [the]\add* hills, and they shall make smoke.
\p
\v 6 Light thou shining, and thou shalt scatter them; send thou out thine arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
\p
\v 7 Send out thine hand from on high, ravish me out, and deliver thou me from many waters; and from the hand of alien sons.
\p
\v 8 The mouth of whom spake vanity; and the right hand of them \em is\em* the right hand of wickedness.
\p
\v 9 God, I shall sing to thee a new song; I shall say psalm to thee in psaltery of ten strings.
\p
\v 10 Which givest health to kings, which again-boughtest David, thy servant; from the wicked sword ravish thou out me.
\p
\v 11 And deliver thou me from the hand of alien sons; the mouth of which spake vanity, and the right hand of them \em is\em* the right hand of wickedness.
\p
\v 12 Whose sons \em be\em* as new plantings in their youth. The daughters of them \em be\em* arrayed; adorned about as the likeness of a temple.
\p
\v 13 The cellars of them \em be\em* full; bring-ing out from this \em vessel\em* into that, or from one \em vessel\em* into another. The sheep of them \em be\em* with lambs, plenteous \add [or abounding]\add* in their goings out;
\p
\v 14 their kine \em be\em* fat. There is no falling of their wall, neither passing over \em of it\em*; neither cry \em is\em* in the streets of them.
\p
\v 15 They said, The people \em is\em* blessed, that hath these things; blessed \em is\em* the people, whose Lord is the God of it.

\p
\v 1 \em The psalm of David\em*. My God, king, I shall enhance thee; and I shall bless thy name into the world, and into the world of world.
\p
\v 2 By all days I shall bless thee; and I shall praise thy name into the world, and into the world of the world.
\p
\v 3 The Lord \em is\em* great, and worthy to be praised full much; and none end there is of his greatness.
\p
\v 4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works; and they shall pro-nounce, \em either tell afar\em*, thy power.

\p
\v 7 They shall bring forth the mind of the abundance of thy sweetness; and they shall tell with full out joying \em of\em* thy rightfulness \add [or rightwiseness]\add*.
\p
\v 8 The Lord \em is\em* a merciful doer and merciful in will; patient, and much merciful.
\p
\v 9 The Lord \em is\em* sweet in all things; and his merciful doings \em be\em* above all his works.
\p
\v 10 Lord, all thy works acknowledge to thee; and thy saints bless thee.
\p
\v 11 They shall say \add [of]\add* the glory of thy realm; and they shall speak \em of\em* thy power.
\p
\v 12 That they make thy power known to the sons of men; and the glory of the magnificence of thy realm.
\p
\v 13 Thy realm \em is\em* the realm of all worlds; and thy lordship \em is\em* in all generation and into generation. The Lord \em is\em* faithful in all his words; and holy in all his works.
\p
\v 14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall down; and raiseth up all men hurtled down.
\p
\v 15 Lord, the eyes of all \em beasts\em* hope in thee; and thou givest the meat of them in covenable time.
\p
\v 16 Thou openest thine hand; and thou \add [ful]\add* fillest each beast with blessing.
\p
\v 17 The Lord \em is\em* just \add [or rightwise]\add* in all his ways; and holy in all his works.
\p
\v 18 The Lord is nigh to all that inward-ly call him; to all that inwardly call him in truth.
\p
\v 19 He shall do the will of them, that dread him; and he shall hear the beseeching of them, and he shall make them safe.
\p
\v 20 The Lord keepeth all men loving him; and he shall lose all sinners.
\p
\v 21 My mouth shall speak the praising of the Lord; and each man bless his holy name into the world, and into the world of world.

\p
\v 3 Do not ye trust in princes; neither in the sons of men, in whom is no health.
\p
\v 4 The spirit of him shall go out, and he shall turn again into his earth; in that day all the thoughts of them shall perish.
\p
\v 5 He \em is\em* blessed, of whom the God of Jacob is his helper; his hope \em is\em* in his Lord God,
\p
\v 6 that made heaven, and earth; the sea, and all things that be in those \add [or them]\add*. Which keepeth truth into the world,
\p
\v 7 \em he\em* maketh doom to them that suffer wrong; \em he\em* giveth meat to them that be hungry. The Lord unbindeth fettered men;
\p
\v 8 the Lord lighteneth blind men. The Lord raiseth men hurled or hurtled down; the Lord loveth just men.
\p
\v 9 The Lord keepeth comelings; he shall take up a motherless child, and a widow; and he shall destroy the ways of sinners.
\p
\v 10 The Lord shall reign into the worlds; Zion, thy God shall reign in generation and into generation.

\p
\v 5 Our Lord \em is\em* great, and his virtue \em is\em* great; and of his wisdom there is no number.
\p
\v 6 The Lord taketh up mild men; forsooth he maketh low sinners till to the earth.
\p
\v 7 Before sing ye to the Lord in acknowledging; say ye psalm to our God in an harp.
\p
\v 8 Which covereth heaven with clouds; and maketh ready rain to the earth. Which bringeth forth hay in hills; and herb to the service of men.
\p
\v 9 Which giveth meat to their work beasts; and to the birds of crows calling him.
\p
\v 10 He shall not have will in the strength of an horse; neither it shall be well pleasant \add [or well pleased]\add* to him in the legs of a man.
\p
\v 11 It is well pleasant \add [or well pleased]\add* to the Lord on men that dread him; and in them that hope in his mercy.
\p
\v 12 Jerusalem, praise thou the Lord; Zion, praise thou thy God.

\v 13 For he hath comforted the locks of thy gates; he hath blessed thy sons in thee.
\p
\v 14 Which hath set thy coasts peace; and filleth thee with the fatness of wheat.

\p
\v 19 Which telleth his word to Jacob; and his rightfulnesses and dooms to Israel.
