Psalm III
PSALM III. Concerning the Righteous. 1 Why sleepest thou, O my soul, and blessest not the LORD? 2 Sing a new song unto God who is worthy to be praised. 1 Sing, yea shout unto him with a joyful noise, ae for it is good to sing praises unto God with the whole heart. 3 The righteous ever make mention of the LORD with praise, and justify the judgements of the LORD [with thanksgiving] ; 4 The righteous man despiseth not the chastening of the LORD ; his good pleasure is continually before the LORD. 5 The righteous stumbleth and justifieth the LORD; he falleth and looketh to see what God will do unto him : 6 He gazeth earnestly to see from whence cometh his help. 7 The confidence of the righteous cometh from God their Saviour. There lodgeth not in the dwelling of the righteous sin upon sin. 8 The righteous man maketh inquisition continually in his own house to the end that he may put away iniquity ; With his trespass offering 9 he maketh atonement for that wherein he erreth unwittingly, and with fasting he afflicteth his soul. 10 And the LORD purifieth every man that is holy and his house. 11 The sinner stumbleth and curseth his own life, the day of his birth and his mother’s pangs. 12 While he liveth, he addeth sin to sin. 13 He falleth; verily grievous is his fall, and he shall not rise again: the destruction of the sinner is for ever. 14 And the LORD shall not have him in remembrance, when he visiteth the righteous. 15 This is the portion of sinners for evermore. 16 But they that fear the LORD shall rise again unto life eternal, and their life shall be in the light of the LORD, and it shall fail no more.

About this edition

This is not the complete book apparatus, not a full Wisconsin transcription, and not a word-perfect edition. Toronto printed 2–3 remain absent in the unchanged original scan..
