9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.
2I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.
3In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul with strength.
4O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.
5And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great is the honour of Jehovah.
6For high is Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.
7If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.
8Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness is to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
