Part 85

19:142:004 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

19:142:005 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

19:142:006 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

19:142:007 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

19:143:001 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

19:143:002 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

19:143:003 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

19:143:004 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

19:143:005 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

19:143:006 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

19:143:007 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

19:143:008 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

19:143:009 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

19:143:010 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

19:143:011 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

19:143:012 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

19:144:001 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

19:144:002 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

19:144:003 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

19:144:004 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

19:144:005 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

19:144:006 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

19:144:007 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

19:144:008 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

19:144:009 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

19:144:010 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

19:144:011 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

19:144:012 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
