Psalm 44:18

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Back from thy way our heart not turn'd; our steps no straying made;

See the chapter Copy

The men whose hearts with pride are stuff'd did greatly me deride; Yet from thy straight commandements I have not turn'd aside.

My persecutors many are, and foes that do combine; Yet from thy testimonies pure my heart doth not decline.

But, like their fathers, turned back, and dealt unfaithfully: Aside they turned, like a bow that shoots deceitfully.

But as for such as turn aside after their crooked way, God shall lead forth with wicked men: on Isr'el peace shall stay.
