verse 5 For he brings down who dwell on high• The lofty city low makes lye: He lays it low even to the floor Even to the dust he hath it thrown. verse 6 The poor mans feet shall tread it down, The feet and steps of the' needy poor, verse 7 Uprightness is the just mans way, Thou most upright his path dost weigh. verse 8 Yea in thy judgments way O Lord, We waited have for thee, the same Our souls desire is to thy Name, And thee in mind still to record.

verse 9 My soul hath thee desired by night; Yea, I within me with my spright; in early seeking thee do yearn: For when on earth thy judgments be, The dwellers in the world shall see, That so they righteousness may learn, verse 10 Let to the wicked grace be shown, Yet righteousness learn will he none. But in the land of uprightness He will both deal unrighteously And he Jehovahs Majesty Will not behold him to redress.
