Psalm 10:6-11

A (6,7) HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

B (8) He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against THE POOR <02489>.

C (9) He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait TO CATCH THE POOR <06041>:

C1 (9) he doth CATCH THE POOR <06041>, when he draweth him into his net.

B1 (10) He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that THE POOR <02426> <02489> <02489> may fall by his strong ones.

A1 (11) HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Psalm 9:4-8

A (4) For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne JUDGING <08199> RIGHT <06664>.

B (5) Thou hast rebuked the heathen, THOU HAST DESTROYED <06> the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

C (6) O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities;

B1 (6,7) their memorial IS PERISHED <06>  with them. But Yahweh shall endure for ever:

A1 (7,8) he hath prepared his throne for judgment. And HE SHALL JUDGE < 08199> the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS <06664>, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Psalm 67*

(Ruth)

A. God be merciful unto us, and bless us;  and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

B. That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.

C. Let the people praise thee, O God;
let all the people praise thee.

D. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy:

E. for thou shalt judge the people righteously,

D’. and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

C’. Let the people praise thee, O God;
let all the people praise thee.

B’. Then shall the earth yield her increase;

A’. and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Psalm 16:8-11

A (8) I have set Yahweh always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

B (9) Therefore my heart is glad <08055>, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

C (10) For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

B1 (11) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy<08057>;

A1 (11) at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 51*

A. (1) Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.

B. (2a) Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
(2b) and cleanse me from my sin.

C. (3) For I acknowledge my transgressions:
(3b) and my sin is ever before me.

(4) Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in thy sight:

D. that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest.

C’. (5) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

( 6) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

B’. (7) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

A’. (8-9) Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.


A.(8) Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

B. (9) Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.

C. (10) Create in me a clean heart, O God;
C’. and renew a right spirit within me.

B’. (11) Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy holy spirit from me.

A’. (12) Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free spirit.

A. (13) Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

B. (14) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
B’. thou God of my salvation:

A’. and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
(15) O Lord, open thou my lips;
and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

A. (16) For thou desirest not sacrifice;
else would I give it:

B. thou delightest not in burnt offering.

C. (17) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

D. (18) Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:
D’ . build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

C’. (19) Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,

B’. with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:

A’. then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
