David trusts in the Lord and rejoices in his mercy—Speaking Messianically he says: Into thine hand I commit my spirit—He counsels: O love the Lord, all ye his saints, for the Lord preserveth the faithful.

 IN thee, O LORD, do I put my ^atrust; let me never be ^bashamed: deliver me in thy ^crighteousness^•.

 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy ^aname^•’s sake lead me, and guide me.

 Pull me out of the ^anet^• that they have laid ^bprivily^• for me: for thou art my strength.

 Into thine hand I commit my ^aspirit^•: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my ^abelly^•.

 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without ^afled^• from me.

 I am ^aforgotten^• as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken ^bvessel^•.

 For I have heard the ^aslander^• of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

 But I ^atrusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

 Make thy face to ^ashine^• upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

 Let me not be ^aashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

 Let the ^alying lips be put to ^bsilence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

 Oh how great is thy ^agoodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a ^apavilion^• from the ^bstrife of tongues.

 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

 For I said in my ^ahaste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

 O ^alove the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD ^bpreserveth the ^cfaithful^•, and plentifully ^drewardeth the proud doer.

 Be of good ^acourage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that ^bhope^• in the LORD.
