PSALMS 134:3

thee, O LORD. 2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my 1 supplications. 3 2 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniqui- ties, O Lord, who shall stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 7 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

9 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righ- teousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 10 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; 11 Of the 12 FRUIT of thy body will I set upon 13 THY throne. PP 12 14 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, 15 their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. P 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for 16 HIS habitation. P 14 This is my rest for ever: here will 10 I dwell; for I have desired it. P 15 13 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. P 16 13 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. P 17 13 There will I make 16 the HORN OF DAVID to bud: 15 I have ordained a lamp for mine 17 anointed. P P 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: 18 but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
