PSAL. CXLIV. A Psalm of David.
O Let Jehovah blessed be, who is my Rock of might; Who d•th instruct my hands to war, my fingers eke to fight. verse 2 My goodness, fortress, my high tower. and who doth set me free: ⟨p. 353⟩My shield, my trust: which doth subdue my people under me.
verse 3 Lord, what is earthly-man, that thou dost knowledge of him take: Or son of wretched man, that thou account of him dost make. verse 4 Man's like to vanity: his days pass like a shade away. verse 5 Lord bow the heavens come down & touch the mounts, and smoke shall they.
