Rh :His days are as a shadow that passeth away.
 * O, bow Thy heavens, and come down;
 * Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
 * Cast forth lightning, and scatter them;
 * Send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.
 * Stretch forth Thy hands from on high;
 * Rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters,
 * Out of the hand of strangers;
 * Whose mouth speaketh falsehood,
 * And their right hand is a right hand of lying.


 * O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee,
 * Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;
 * Who givest salvation unto kings,
 * Who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword.
 * Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers,
 * Whose mouth speaketh falsehood,
 * And their right hand is a right hand of lying.


 * We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth;
 * Whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;
 * Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store;
 * Whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
 * Whose oxen are well laden;
 * With no breach, and no going forth,
 * And no outcry in our broad places;
 * Happy is the people that is in such a case.
 * Yea, happy is the people whose God is the.

[A Psalm of] praise; of David.


 * I will extol Thee, my God, O King;
 * And I will bless Thy for name ever and ever.
 * Every day will I bless Thee;
 * And I will praise Thy name for ever and ever.
 * Great is the, and highly to be praised;
 * And His greatness is unsearchable.
 * One generation shall laud Thy works to another,
 * And shall declare Thy mighty acts.
 * The glorious splendour of Thy majesty,
 * And Thy wondrous works, will I rehearse.
 * And men shall speak of the might of Thy tremendous acts;
 * And I will tell of Thy greatness.
 * They shall utter the fame of Thy great goodness,
 * And shall sing of Thy righteousness.
 * The is gracious, and full of compassion;
 * Slow to anger, and of great mercy.
 * The is good to all;
 * And His tender mercies are over all His works.
 * All Thy works shall praise Thee, O ;
 * And Thy saints shall bless Thee.
 * They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom,
 * And talk of Thy might;
 * To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
 * And the glory of the majesty of His kingdom.
