PsA1.Ms 59. 60.
By their m0uth’s sin, and speech of their lips,-—
Let them thus be all caught in their pride.
Let the cursing and lies they relate.
Be consumed in a fire and destroyed {
And teach them that Gon has the ruie,
To the furthest of bounds of the earth.
Smuza 4.
At dusk, they come back with their growls :-·
Like dogs they encircle the house.
16
They yell for the food they get not;
But I myself sing of Your power,
And am cheered by Your mercy till mom,-
For You are a. Fortress to me,
And a refuge in times of distress.
18
My GOD as my Strength I will chant,
For GQD is my fortress, my Gob is my Trust!

DAVID°S PRAYER.
GOD, in Your wrath You abandoned and routed.--
'1`urn to us again l
You shook the earth, till it broke,
And like rotten wood shattered l-
You have shown to Your people aliliction,
We have drunk of the staggering wine ;
You abandoned Your standard to terrors,
To flight from the face of a rout!
That Your darlings may not meet destruction.
Let Your hand help and ar swer to me.

AVlZD°S 'ORDER ron. Barr;.
I will divide in the morning,
And lower the tents for advance;
Take Gilad, and Manasseh with me,
And Ephraim to strengthen my Van,
And judah shall serve as my Guard l
I will charge on the Moabite Hank,
Over Edom will march in my boots,
And over Philistia cheer il
Srlmza 3.
Who will storm for me the fort?
And. who against Edom will charge?
Gon will not our armies forsake!
Will not GOD advance with our troops?
And give to us strength in distress,
Where vain would be victory by men?
With GOD we will gallantly work,
Our enemies HR will defeat!
