¹⁴Yea, he sent out his arrowes, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

¹⁵Then the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the world were discouered: at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

^16‖He sent from aboue, he tooke me, he drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷He deliuered me from my strong enemie, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁸They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the LORD was my stay.

^26‖With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shew thy selfe froward.

²⁷For thou wilt saue the afflicted people: but wilt bring downe high lookes.

^28‖For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkenesse.

^29‖For by thee I haue run through a troupe? and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.

^30*‖ As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
