Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
