13 Teach me thy way, O Lord: and lead me in the right way, because
of mine enemies.
14 Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries: for there
are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong.
15 I should utterly have fainted: but that I believe verily to see
the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
16 O tarry thou the Lord's leisure: be strong, and he shall
comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.
PSALM 28. _Ad te, Domine_.
Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my strength: think no scorn of me;
lest, if thou make as though thou hearest not, I become like them
that go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my humble petitions, when I cry unto thee: when
I hold up my hands towards the mercy-seat of thy holy temple.
3 O pluck me not away, neither destroy me, with the ungodly and
wicked doers: which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine
mischief in their hearts.
4 Reward them according to their deeds: and according to the
wickedness of their own inventions.
5 Recompense them after the work of their hands: pay them that they
have deserved.
6 For they regard not in their mind the works of the Lord, nor the
operation of his hands: therefore shall he break them down, and not
build them up.
7 Praised be the Lord: for he hath heard the voice of my humble
petitions.
8 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart hath trusted in
him, and I am helped: therefore my heart danceth for joy, and in
my song will I praise him.
9 The Lord is my strength: and he is the wholesome defence of his
Anointed.
10 O save thy people, and give thy blessing unto thine inheritance:
feed them, and set them up for ever.
PSALM 29. _Afferte Domino_.
Bring unto the Lord, O ye mighty, bring young rams unto the Lord:
ascribe unto the Lord worship and strength.
2 Give the Lord the honour due unto his Name: worship the Lord with
holy worship.
3 It is the Lord that commandeth the waters: it is the glorious
God that maketh the thunder.
4 It is the Lord that ruleth the sea; the voice of the Lord is
mighty in operation: the voice of the Lord is a glorious voice.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar-trees: yea, the Lord
breaketh the cedars of Libanus.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf: Libanus also, and
Sirion, like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire; the voice
of the Lord shaketh the wilderness: yea, the Lord shaketh the
wilderness of Cades.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and
discovereth the thick bushes: in his temple doth every man speak
of his honour.
9 The Lord sitteth above the water-flood: and the Lord remaineth
a King for ever.
10 The Lord shall give strength unto his people: the Lord shall
give his people the blessing of peace.
