{\b {\i A Psalm} of David.}\par\par\tab Jehovah is my light and my salvation;\par\tab Whom shall I fear?\par\tab Jehovah is the strength of my life;\par\tab Of whom shall I be afraid?
{\b A Song of Ascents; of Solomon.}\par\par\tab Except Jehovah build the house,\par\tab They labor in vain that build it:\par\tab Except Jehovah keep the city,\par\tab The watchman waketh but in vain.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
{\b A Song of Ascents; of David.}\par\par\tab Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty;\par\tab Neither do I exercise myself in great matters,\par\tab Or in things too wonderful for me.
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
