Thou hast subdued under me those that rose Heb. caused up against me. 40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me. 41 They cried, but there was none to save: Even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did 'cast them out as the mire of the streets. 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; 5 Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: The strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places. 46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation : 47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me. to bow. 1 Heb. salvations. 2 Heb. tent.

That is, The A Psalm of David. 1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou answerest not; 3 And in the night season, 3 and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, 4 O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. They trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: They trusted in thee, and were not ashamed. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: 5 They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8' Commit thyself unto the LORD; let him deliver 9 him: Let him deliver him, seeing he delighteth in him. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: Thou art my God from my mother's belly. II Be not far from me; for trouble is near; 12 Many bulls have compassed me: Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: hind of the morning. 2Or, Far from my help are the words of my roaring. |
