PsA1.u 18.
PSALMS.
Boox I.
SrANzA 5.
He sent from high and took,
He snatched from mighty seas,
He rescued from strong foes,
More powerful foes than I.
He led me in my day of need,
And was my guardian power.
To freedom brought me out,
Released because He loved!
The Lone paid me my due,
My work returned to me;
For I had kept the living paths,
And not deserted GOD.
For all His rules I kept,
I turned not from His laws;
And I was straight with Him
And kept myself from vice.
The Loan returned my due,
My work was in His sight,
S·rANzA 6.
You are kind tothe kind,
With straight men You are straight,
With rtniiians You are rough,
And to the false resist;
For You would save the poor,
And throw down haughty eyes.
You are my shining light,
My Lrvmc Gov, who drives my gloom.
S·rANzA 7.
By You I stormed the breach,
And from GoD scaled the wall;
By GOD whose paths are straight,
The LORD whose words are true,
To all who trust, a shield;
For what is GOD but LIFE ?
What strong; except my GOD P
The GOD who girds my strength,
And makes my pathways smooth?
Makes my legs like a stag’s,
And helped me on the hills ;
Who taught my hands to tight,
My arms to break steel bows.
Gave victory to my shield,
And Your right hand has helped,
And Your gift has increased.
Srimza 8.
You stretched my strides beneath,
They never failed or shook.
I chased my foes, and caught,
Nor turned till I destroyed.
I crushed, they could not rise,
They fell beneath my feet.
You girthed my waist for war,
Held up my knees beneath.
You gave to me my foes,
My haters, chased, and crushed
. They shrieked, but no one saved,
