For neither from the east, nor from the west,\par\tab Nor yet from the south, {\i cometh} lifting up.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;\par\tab My glory and the lifter up of my head.
He runneth upon him with a {\i stiff} neck,\par\tab With the thick bosses of his bucklers;
He ruleth by his might for ever;\par\tab His eyes observe the nations:\par\tab Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. {\i Selah
I know his wrath, saith Jehovah, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.
