translation : At evening they go to and fro ; They make great noise and sound Xike to a dog , and often walk About the city round . Be hold they belch out with their mouth And in their lips are swords : For they do say thus , who is he That now doth hear our words ?

retain every sentiment contained in the passages versified , and yet to avoid expressions mean or ludicrous * The 5 £ th Psalm is one which , for obvious reasons , Watts has omitted , being quite impracticable for his purpose of applying the " Psalms of David—to the
