19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the lord,
Thou art my Lord: my
goodness
extendeth not to thee;
19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth,
and to the excellent,
in
whom is all my delight.
19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
hasten after another
god:
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor
take
up
their names into my lips.
19:016:005 The lord is the portion of mine inheritance
and of my cup:
thou
maintainest my lot.
19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
places; yea, I have a
goodly
heritage.
19:016:007 I will bless the lord, who hath given
me counsel: my reins
also
instruct me in the night seasons.
19:016:008 I have set the lord always before
me: because he is at my
right
hand, I shall not be moved.
19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory
rejoiceth: my flesh
also
shall rest in hope.
19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou
suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness
of
joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
19:017:001 Hear the right, O lord, attend unto
my cry, give ear unto my
prayer,
that goeth not out of feigned lips.
19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence;
let thine eyes
behold
the things that are equal.
19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast
visited me in the
night;
thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am
purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress.
19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word
of thy lips I have
kept
me from the paths of the destroyer.
19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt
hear me, O God: incline
thine
ear unto me, and hear my speech.
19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou
that savest by thy
right
hand them which put their trust in thee from those
that
rise
up against them.
19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me
under the shadow of
thy
wings,
19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my
deadly enemies, who
compass
me about.
19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat:
with their mouth they
speak
proudly.
19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps:
they have set their
eyes
bowing down to the earth;
