endureth.

9
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba
shall offer gifts.
11

him

14
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in
his sight.

made for him continually;
and
daily shall he be praised.
16
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit
thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and
they
of the city shall flourish like grass of the
earth.

His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and
men
shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18
Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

be
his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled
with
his glory;
Amen, and Amen.

CHAPTER 73
Truly God
is
good to Israel,
even
to such as are of a clean heart.

But as for me, my feet were
almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase
in
riches.

in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14
For all the day long have
I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
