PSALMS. Boox VII. Psnus :39, :4o. You are there if I dive to the Grave ¥ Should I lift up Dawu’s Veil, And plunge under the Sea., xo Your hand there could seize, Your righbhaud could hold I xx The darkness will hide, Night shines not to betray} yq Then Dark, is not Darkness to You, And Night is as bright as the Day! So Darkness and Light are the same! For You have created my members, You arranged me in my Mother’s Womb. I praise You because You enlighten, My mind knows the Wonders You do. My thoughts are not hidden from You, Who made, and in secret Who weve, When preparing for earth; :6 Your eyes saw me, as I was evolving, The whole was inscribed on Your Plan, And You formed my days when not one of them were! How precious Your thoughts are to me! How powerful, GOD, their results! 18 If I counted the sands they are more, When I wakeu, I stand before You! Oh! cut oH the Bad, Gon of Truth, And from me drive 0H men of Blood Who meditate only revolt, And contrive for Your Cities distress! 21 Those who hate You, Loan, do I not hate? And loathe those who rise against You ? Those who hate You, I perfectly hate, As enemies they are to me!

GOD, try me and {ind out my heart, Examine, and find out my ways, And see if I stray in my path, And for ever lead me on Your road! PSALM 140. To his Bandrnaster. Q ¥sal1n hg Qnhih. S·rANza 1. Deliver me, LORD, from Bad Men, Preserve me from those who oppress; Who meditate crime in their hearts, Who daily assemble for Wars! They dart out their tongue like a snake, Adder venom is under their lips. Srauza 2. LORD, guard from the hand of the Bad, Snatch me from the men who oppress! Who are trying to trip up my steps; The proud who lay traps for my feet, And spread out their cord-woven nets, And lay snares at the side of my road! I said, O LORD, You are my GOD, 77 3 22
