1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for David. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
