10 For thou art great, and doeft wondrous things: thou art God alone.

II Teach me thy way, O Lord, I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praife thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou haft delivered my foul from the loweft hell.

14 O God, the proud are rifen against me, and the affemblies of violent men have fought after my foul: and have not fet thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compaffion, and gracious: long-fuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

PSALM LXXXVIII. Lord God of my falvation, I have cried day and night before thee. 2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry.

3 For my foul is full of troubles and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no ftrength.

5 Free among the dead, like the flain that lie in the grave, whom thou remembereft no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

14 Lord, why cafteth thou off my foul? why hideft thou thy face from me?

15 I am afflicted and ready to die, from my youth up: while I fuffer thy terrors, I am diftracted.

16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me, thy terrors

have cut me off.

4 For a thoufand years in thy fight are but as yefterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

5 Thou carrieft them away as with a flood, they are as a fleep: in the morning they are like grafs which groweth up.
