Part 7

19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

19:018:006 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.

19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
