verse 33 He makes my feet like as the roe, And on my high place makes me stand. ⟨p. 56⟩verse 34 Mine arms do break the brazen bow; So well to war he learns my hand. verse 35 And of thy saving health the shield Thou hast bestowed upon me: And thy right hand hath me upheld, Thy meekness made me great to be.

Thou hast subdued under me Th•se that did up against me rise, verse 40 My foes their necks thou gavest me, That I might waste mine enemies. verse 41 They cried; but none to save they find: To God, but with no answer meet. verse 42 I beat them then as dust i' th' wind, And cast them out as dirt i' th' street.
