Rh :With songs of deliverance Thou wilt compass me about.
 * 'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go;
 * I will give counsel, Mine eye being upon thee.'
 * Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
 * Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
 * That they come not near unto thee.


 * Many are the sorrows of the wicked;
 * But he that trusteth in the, mercy compasseth him about.
 * Be glad in the, and rejoice, ye righteous;
 * And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.


 * Rejoice in the, O ye righteous,
 * Praise is comely for the upright.
 * Give thanks unto the with harp,
 * Sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
 * Sing unto Him a new song;
 * Play skilfully amid shouts of joy.


 * For the word of the is upright;
 * And all His work is done in faithfulness.
 * He loveth righteousness and justice;
 * The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the.
 * By the word of the were the heavens made;
 * And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
 * He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap;
 * He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.
 * Let all the earth fear the ;
 * Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
 * For He spoke, and it was;
 * He commanded, and it stood.
 * The bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;
 * He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
 * The counsel of the standeth for ever,
 * The thoughts of His heart to all generations.


 * Happy is the nation whose God is the ;
 * The people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
 * The looketh from heaven;
 * He beholdeth all the sons of men;
 * From the place of His habitation He looketh intently
 * Upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
 * He that fashioneth the hearts of them all,
 * That considereth all their doings.
 * A king is not saved by the multitude of a host;
 * A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
 * A horse is a vain thing for safety;
 * Neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
 * Behold, the eye of the is toward them that fear Him,
 * Toward them that wait for His mercy;
 * To deliver their soul from death,
 * And to keep them alive in famine.


 * Our soul hath waited for the ;
 * He is our help and our shield.
 * For in Him doth our heart rejoice,
 * Because we have trusted in His holy name.
