- And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
- His mischief shall return upon his own head,
- And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
- I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness:
- And will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

To the chief Musician upon Gittith
A Psalm of David
- O Lord our Lord,
- How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
- Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
- Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength
- Because of thine enemies,
- That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
- When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers.
- The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
- What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
- And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
- For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels.
- And hast crowned him with glory and honour.
- Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
- Thou hast put all things under his feet:
[ 101 ]
