Until these {Or, wickedness}calamities be overpast.

Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

Let thy glory be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down:
They have digged a pit before me;
They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. [Selah

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:

I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples:
I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens,
And thy truth unto the skies.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let thy glory be above all the earth.
