Rh :To Thy name and to Thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
 * With my soul have I desired Thee in the night;
 * Yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly;
 * For when Thy judgments are in the earth,
 * The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
 * Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness;
 * In the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully,
 * And will not behold the majesty of the.


 * , Thy hand was lifted up, yet they see not;
 * They shall see with shame Thy zeal for the people;
 * Yea, fire shall devour Thine adversaries.
 * , Thou wilt establish peace for us;
 * For Thou hast indeed wrought all our works for us.
 * O our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us;
 * But by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.
 * The dead live not, the shades rise not;
 * To that end hast Thou punished and destroyed them,
 * And made all their memory to perish.
 * Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O ,
 * Yea, exceeding great honour with the nations;
 * Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.


 * , in trouble have they sought Thee,
 * Silently they poured out a prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
 * Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery,
 * Is in pain and crieth out in her pangs;
 * So have we been at Thy presence, O.
 * We have been with child, we have been in pain,
 * We have as it were brought forth wind;
 * We have not wrought any deliverance in the land;
 * Neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life.
 * Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise—
 * Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust—
 * For Thy dew is as the dew of light,
 * And the earth shall bring to life the shades.


 * Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,
 * And shut thy doors about thee;
 * Hide thyself for a little moment,
 * Until the indignation be overpast.
 * For, behold, the cometh forth out of His place
 * To visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity;
 * The earth also shall disclose her blood,
 * And shall no more cover her slain.

In that day the with His sore and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent; and He will slay the dragon that is in the sea.


 * In that day sing ye of her:
 * 'A vineyard of foaming wine!'
 * I the do guard it,
