, that
shaketh

hands
from
taking
a bribe, that
stoppeth
his ears from
hearing
of

looking
upon
evil :

; the
mountain
fortress
will
be
his refuge
; his food
will
be provided
and
his water
assured
.

dwell on high
; his place
of
defence
shall
be
the
munitions
of
rocks
; his bread
shall
be given
`him';
his waters
shall
be
sure

on
the terror: Where is he that

feasts.

eyes will

tent
pegs
will
not be pulled
up, nor
will
any of its
cords be broken.

ropes
are slack

abundance
of spoils
will
be
divided ,
and
even

carry
off
plunder
.

tacklings
are loosed
; they could
not
strengthen
the foot
of
their
mast ,
they
could
not
spread the sail :

the
prey
of a
great
spoil
divided ;
the lame took
the
prey
.

resident
of

say, I am sick :
the people that
dwell therein
shall
be forgiven their
iniquity.
