19:044:015 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my
face hath covered me,
19:044:016 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
reason of the enemy and avenger.
19:044:017 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
19:044:018 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined
from thy way;
19:044:019 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and
covered us with the shadow of death.
19:044:020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our
hands to a strange god;
19:044:021 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of
the heart.
19:044:022 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
counted as sheep for the slaughter.
19:044:023 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for
ever.
19:044:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction
and our oppression?
19:044:025 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
unto the earth.
19:044:026 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
19:045:001 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things
which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a
ready writer.
19:045:002 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
19:045:003 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory
and thy majesty.
19:045:004 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things.
19:045:005 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
whereby the people fall under thee.
19:045:006 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy
kingdom is a right sceptre.
19:045:007 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.
19:045:008 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of
the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
19:045:009 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy
right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
19:045:010 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
19:045:011 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy
Lord; and worship thou him.
19:045:012 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the
rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
19:045:013 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of
wrought gold.
