PSALMS. i Boox IV. PsA1.M 8g 44 45 47 49 You have thrown down the walls of his vine. All who travel the Highway can rob, And he is to his neighbours a scorn; His oppressors raise up their right hzmd, And all of his foemen rejoice You have turned back the edge of his sword, And he cannot prevail in the War. His splendour You bring to an end, And have thrown down his throne to the Earth! You have cut off the days of his manhood, And covered him up with contempt! suuza g. Till when will You hide, LORD, for ever? Like {ire, will Your anger consume? Remember how short is my life, Why create in vain all Aclam’s Sons? What man lives, and never sees Death ? Can his body escape the Grave’s hand? Sunza ro. LORD where are Your Mercies of old, That to David You swore by Your Truth ? Loran, remember the griefs of Your slave, With such great Peoples loading my breast! How Your foemen insult You, O LORD, When the steps of Your Chosen they curse. (N ore sv AN Aucuznr Emron.)
