compassed me about the snares of death prevented me in my distress i called upon the lord and cried unto my god he heard my voice out of his temple and my cry came before him even into his ears then the earth shook and trembled the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken because he was roth there went up a smoke out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured coals were kindled by it he bowed the heavens also and came down and darkness was under his feet and he rode upon a cherub and did fly yea he did fly upon the wings of the wind he made darkness his secret place his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies at the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed hailstones and coals of fire the lord also thundered in the heavens and the highest gave his voice hailstones and coals of fire yea he sent out his arrows and scattered them and he shot out lightnings and discomforted them then the channels of waters were seen and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke oh lord at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils he sent from above he took me he drew me out of many waters he delivered me from my strong enemy and from them which hated me for they were too strong for me they prevented me in the day of my calamity but the lord was my stay he brought me forth also into a large place he delivered me because he delighted me the lord rewarded me according to my righteousness according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me for i have kept the ways of the lord and have not wickedly departed from my god for all his judgments were before me and i did not put away his statutes from me i was also upright before him and i kept myself from mine iniquity therefore hath the lord recompensed me according to my righteousness according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight with the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful with an upright man that will show thyself upright

gentleness hath made me great thou hast enlarged my steps under me that my feet did not slip i have pursued mine enemies and overtaken them neither did i turn again till they were consumed i have wounded them that they were not able to rise they are fallen under my feet for thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies that i might destroy them that hate me they cried but there was none to save them even unto the lord but he answered them not then did i beat them small as the dust before the wind i did cast them out as the dirt in the streets thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people and thou hast made me the head of the heathen a people whom i have not known

consider his place and it shall not be but the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace the wicked plotteth against the just and gnasheth upon him with his teeth the lord shall laugh at him for he seeth that his day is coming the wicked have drawn out the sword and have bent their bow to cast down the poor and needy and to slay such as be of upright conversation their sword shall enter into their own heart and their bows shall be broken a little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked for the arms of the wicked shall be broken but the lord upholdeth the righteous the lord knoweth the days of the upright and their inheritance shall be forever they shall not be ashamed in the evil time and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied but the wicked shall perish and the enemies of the lord shall be as the fat of lambs they shall consume into smoke shall they consume away the wicked borroweth and payeth not again but the righteous showeth mercy and giveth for such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off the steps of a good man are ordered by the lord and he
