11 My help cometh of God: who preserveth them that are true of
heart.
12 God is a righteous Judge, strong and patient: and God is
provoked every day.
13 If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword: he hath bent
his bow, and made it ready.
14 He hath prepared for him the instruments of death: he ordaineth
his arrows against the persecutors.
15 Behold, he travaileth with mischief: he hath conceived sorrow,
and brought forth ungodliness.
16 He hath graven and digged up a pit: and is fallen himself into
the destruction that he made for other.
17 For his travail shall come upon his own head: and his wickedness
shall fall on his own pate.
18 I will give thanks unto the Lord, according to his righteousness:
and I will praise the Name of the Lord most High.
PSALM 8. _Domine, Dominus noster_.
O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world:
thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength, because of thine enemies: that thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.
3 For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers:
the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
5 Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown him with glory
and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and
thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet;
