Psalm XIII
PSALM XIII. A Psalm of Solomon: ‘To comfort the righteous.’ 1 The right hand of the LORD overshadowed me: the right hand of the LORD spared us. 2 The arm of the LORD saved us from the sword that passed through : from famine and from the plague of the sinners. 3 Noisome beasts ran upon them: with their teeth they rent the flesh of them, and with their jaws they brake their bones in pieces ; and out of all these things did the LORD save us. 4 The ungodly man was troubled because of his transgres- sions: lest he should be taken along with the sinners. 5 For fearful is the overthrow of the sinner: and of all these things nothing shall touch the righteous. 6 For the chastening of the righteous which have sinned ignorantly, and the overthrow of the sinners are not alike. 7 The righteous is chastened secretly; that the sinner may not rejoice over the righteous. 8 For he will admonish the righteous as a beloved son: and his chastening is as a man chasteneth his firstborn. 9 For the LORD will spare his saints, and will blot out their transgressions with his chastening: for the life of the righteous is for ever. 10 But sinners shall be taken away unto destruction: and the memorial of them shall no more be found. 11 But upon the saints is the mercy of the LORD: yea upon them that fear him is his mercy.

About this edition
Recorded completeness: Known missing English opening repaired using approved same-edition Wisconsin copy. Main English translation is represented from I.1 through the source bracketed [XIX.], with nineteen historical divisions and one separate editorial notice. 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..
