XXVII]
PSALMS
- Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
- I have hated the congregation of evil doers;
- And will not sit with the wicked.
- I will wash mine hands in innocency:
- So will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
- That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
- And tell of all thy wondrous works.
- Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house.
- And the place where thine honour dwelleth.
- Gather not my soul with sinners,
- Nor my life with bloody men:
- In whose hands is mischief,
- And their right hand is full of bribes.
- But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
- Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
- My foot standeth in an even place:
- In the congregations will I bless the Lord.
XXVII
A Psalm of David
- The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
- The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
- When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh.
- They stumbled and fell.
[ 129 ]
