PSALMS
[XXIX
- Which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
- Give them according to their deeds,
- And according to the wickedness of their endeavours:
- Give them after the work of their hands;
- Render to them their desert.
- Because they regard not the works of the Lord,
- Nor the operation of his hands,
- He shall destroy them, and not build them up.
- Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
- The Lord is my strength and my shield;
- My heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
- Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
- And with my song will I praise him.
- The Lord is their strength,
- And he is the saving strength of his anointed.
- Save thy people,
- And bless thine inheritance:
- Feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
XXIX
A Psalm of David
- Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty.
- Give unto the Lord glory and strength.
- Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name;
- Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
