'I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." — 1 Cor. liv. 15.

Wffi. S. REI^TOUL, m. 25 KORTH SIXTH STREET.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by

WM. W. KEYS,

in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States in and for the

Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Stereotyped by William W. Harding. Peixtod bt William S. Yonxo.

PEEFACE.

In presenting this work to the Church, the compiler believes that it is the
most effectual means by which Congregational singing can be improved and
kept at any thing like the proper standard. The practice of the Psalms to
music adapted to them, facilitates a proper regard to expression, and the
music being always before the eye, the time and tone is better preserved.

The music used has been carefully selected from lists received from pre-
centors of churches in all parts of the Union where the Psalms of David are
used in public worship.

The harmony has been carefully revised by Prof. Leopold Meignen, of
Philadelphia, and, we believe, will be found in all cases free from imperfec-
tion. Several new Tunes of Dr. Meignen's composition appear in this book,
having been composed for it, viz : Standbridge, S. M., Melville and
Keys, C. M., and Stevenson, C. M., Double ; the first and last named
composed expressly for the Psalms to which they are attached.

The division of the Psalms into portions of similar sentiment has been done
by Rev. Prof James M. Willson, which, it is believed, will be a sufficient
guarantee that this portion of the work has been well done. The appropri-
ateness of the adaptation of the music to the text is, of course, submitted to
the judgment of the public. It has been a subject of study for more than
three years, and we trust will meet the approbation of all. We feel certain
that none of the music can be justly termed inappropriate.

The superiority of this book over any other Psalm-Book heretofore pub-
lished consists in the music being printed along with each Psalm, or portion
of Psalm, throughout the entire book.

The advantage of this is two-fold : 1st. The precentor is not compelled to
hurriedly select a tune at the same time that he is searching for the Psalm
which has been announced. He knows that having found the Psalm, suita-
ble music to be sung to it is there also, and all he has to think of is to
have the tune properly pitched. 2d. There is no doubt or hesitation on the
part of the congregation in commencing to sing, as all know precisely what
tune is to be sung, and are prepared to commence as soon as the first note is
given.

To those who have aided me, by permitting the use of their compositions,
in furnishing lists of music, or otherwise assisting me in the production of
this book, I present my thanks.

I trust my efforts have been well directed and that the book may tend to the
honour and glory of God, and to the delight of his people, by causing all
who use it to " sing with the spirit and the understanding," and " with a
loud noise skilfully." If so, then my design will be accomplished.

Philadelphia, October 1, 1863. WM. W. KEYS.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

In less than one month the first edition has been exhausted, — a
gratifying evidence of the need of such a book, and of its accepta-
bility.

The second edition is now presented to the Church. The few errors
■which appeared in the first edition have been corrected ; and, in ad-
dition, the number of the Psalm has been placed at the top of each
page. With these exceptions, the first and second editions are iden-
tical.

The many favourable notices which the Book has received from
the Press and from individuals have been very gratifying to the
author. He trusts he will be pardoned for inserting here a portion
of a review of it which appeared in the Presbyterian Standard,
from the pen of Rev. Dr. William Blackwood ; whose thorough
knowledge of the subject, and eminent musical taste, render his opi-
nion peculiarly valuable : —

" Every congregation in the country in which the ' Old Psalms'
are used, will thank the author and publisher for this beautiful and
admirably designed volume. * * * ^j^g airs are selected with
taste and judgment. The harmony is delightful ; and the general
circulation of this book in churches would unquestionably promote
in a very powerful manner the extension of congregational singing
of a very high order. Every Psalm, and, in many of the longer ones,
the portions of them suitable for a service, are provided with a pro-
per air ; and thus the book may be used in the pew, the lecture-room,
or in the family, as well as by a precentor or leader."

The success of the work seems no longer to be in doubt. The
author is convinced that it will be an efiicient agent in promoting a
general improvement in the Congregational Music of the churches
that shall adopt and faithfully use it.

PSALM 1.

1 That man hath perfect blessedness,

who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,

nor stands in sinners' way;
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair;

2 But placeth his delight
Upon God's law, and meditates

on his law day and night.

3 He shall he like a tree that grows

near planted by a river,
AVliich in his season yields his fruit,
and his loaf fadclh never :

HENRY. C. M.

And all he doth shall jirosper well ;

4 The wicked are not so ;

But like they are unto the chaff,
which wind drives to and fro.

5 In judgment, therefore, shall not stand

such as ungodly are ;
Nor in th' assembly of the just
shall wicked men appear.

6 For why ? the way of godly men

unto the Lord is known :
"Whereas the waj' of wicked men
shall quite be overthrown.

PSALM 2.

1 Why rage the heathen ? and vain things

why do the people mind ?

2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,

and princes are combin'd
To plot against the Lord, and his
Anointed, saying thus;

3 Let a,s asunder break their bands

and cast their cords from us.

4 He that in heaven sits, shall laugh ;

the Lord shall scorn them all.

5 Then shall ho speak to them in wrath,

in rage he vex. them shall.

6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have him

to be my King ajjpointed;
And o'er Sion, my holy hill,
I have him King anointed.
7 The sure decree I will declare:
the Lord hath said to me.

Thou art mine onlj- son
I have begotten thee.

this day

8 Ask of me, and for heritage
the heathen I'll make tliine;
And, for possession, I to thee
will give earth's utmost line.

9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod

of iron, break them all ;
And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt
them dash in pieces small.

10 Now,therefore,king5.be wise; bctaui

j-e judges of the earth :

11 Serve God in fear, and see that ye

join trembling with your mirth.

12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire

ye perish from the way.
If once his wrath begin to burn :
bloss'd all that on him stay.

How long my glory turn to shame,

Repeat 3d line or each verse.

5 Off'rings present of righteousness,

and in the Lord trust ye.

6 O who will show us any good ?

is tliut which many say ;
But of thy countenance the light,
Lord, lift on us alway.

7 Upon my heart, bestow'd by thee,

more gladness I have found, [wine

8 I will both lay me down in peace,

and quiet sleep will take:

Because thou only me to dwell

PSALM 5.

GiVK ear unto my words, O Lord,

my meditation weigh.
Hear my loud cr3% my King, my God,

for I to thee will pray.
Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice ;

I early will direct
My pray'r to thee ; and, looking up,

an answer will expect.
For thou art not a God that doth

in wickedness delight :
Neither shall evil dwell with thee ;

Nor fools stand in thy sight.
All that ill-doers are thou hat'st ;

Cutt'st off that liars Le ;
The bloody and deceitful man

abhorred is by thee.
But I into thine house will come

in thine abundant grace;
And I will worshij) in thy fear,

toward thy holy place.

8 Because of those mine enemies,

Lord, in thy righteousness
Do thou me lead ; do thou thy way
make straight before my tiice.

9 For in their mouth there is no truth,

their inward part is ill ;
Their throat's an open sepulchre,
their tongue doth Hatter still.

10 O God, destroy them ; let them be

by their own counsel quell'd ,•
Them, for their many sins, cast out,
for they 'gainst thee rebell'd.

11 But let all joy that trust in thee,

and still make shouting noise,
For them thou sav'st; let all that love
thy name in thee rejoice.

12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man
thou wilt thy blessing yield :

With favour thou wilt compass him
about, as with a shield.

3 My soul is also vexed sore :

but, Lord, how tony stay will thou make?

4 Return, O Lord, my soul set free :

5 Because those that deceased are

of thee shall no remembrance have ;

1 Ho"W excellent in all the earth.

Lord, our Lord, is thy name !
Who hast thy glorj' far advanc'd
above the starry frame.

2 From infants' and from sucklings' mouth

thou didest strength ordain.
For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st
th' avenging foe restrain.

which thine own fingers fram'd.
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
which were by thee ordain'd ;

4 Then say I, What is man, that he

remember'd is by thee ?

Or what the son of man, tliat thou
so kind to him should'st be ?

5 For thou a little lower hast

him than the angels made,
With glory and with dignity

thou crowned hast his head. [lord,

6 Of thj' hands' works thou mad'st him

all under's feet didst lay ;

7 All sheep and oxen, j-ea and beasts

that in the field do stray ;

all that pass through the same.

1 Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart,

thy wonders all proclaim.

2 In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy,

unci sing unto thy name.
S AVhen back my foes wereturn'd, they fell
and perish'd at thy sight;

4 For thou maintain'dst my right and cause

on throne sat'st judging right.

5 The heathen tbou rebuked hast,

the wicked overthrown ;
Thou hast put out their names, that they
may never more be known.
C O en'my ! now destructions have
an end perpetual ;
Thou cities raz'd ; perish'd with them
is their memorial.
7 God shall endure for aye; he doth
for judgment set his throne ;

CHIMES.

8 In righteousness to judge the world,

justice to give each one.

9 God also will a refuge be

for those that are oppress'd ;
A refuge will he be in times
of trouble, to distress'd.

10 And they that know thy name, in thee

their confidence will place;
For thou hast not forsaken them
that truly seek thy face.

11 O sing ye praises to the Lord,

that dwells on Sion hill;

And all the nations among

his deeds record ye still.

12 When he inquireth after blood,

he then rememb'reth them ;
The humble folk he not forgets
that call upon his name.

n \-^-\ r

13 Lord, pity me; behold the grief

which I from foes sustain ;
Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death
dost raise me up again.

14 That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,

may all thy praise advance ;
And that I may rejoice always
in thy deliverance.
1.5 The heathen are sunk in the pit

which they themselves prepar'd,
And in the net which they have hid,
their own feet fast are snar'd.
16 The Lord is by the judgment known,
which he himself hath wrought :

The sinners' hands do make the snares
wherewith themselves are caught.

17 They who are wicked, into hell

each one shall turned be ;
And all the nations that forget
to seek the Lord most high.

18 For they that needy are, shall not

forgotten be alway ;
The expectation of the poor
shall not be lost for aye.

19 Arise, Lord, let not man prevail ;

judge heathen in thy sight, [men ;

20 That they may know themselves but

the nations, Lord, affright.

1 "Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord,

dost stiind from us afar ?
And wherefore hidest thou thyself,
when times so troublous are?

2 The wicked, in his loftiness,

doth persecute the poor :
In these devices they have fram'd,
let them be taken sure.

3 The wicked, of his heart's desire,

doth talk with boasting great;
He blesseth him that's covetous,
whom yet the Lord dotli hate.

4 The wicked, through his pride of face,

on God he doth not call ;
And in the counsels of his heart
the Lord is not at all.

5 His ways they always grievous are;

thy judgments from his sight
liemoved are ; at all his foes
he puffeth with despite.

6 Within his heart he thus hath said,

I shall not moved be;

And no adversity at all
shall ever come to me.

7 His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit,

is fill'd abunduntly ;
And underneath his tongue there is
mischief and vanitj'.

8 He closely sits in villages ;

he slays the innocent;
Against the poor, that pass him by,
his cruel eyes are bent.

9 He, lion-like, lurks in his den ;

ho waits the poor to take :
And when he draws him in his net,
his prey he doth him make.

10 Himself he humbleth very low,

he croucheth down withal.
That so a multitude of poor
may by his strong ones full.

11 He thus hath said within his heart,

The Lord hath quite forgot:
He hides his countenance, and he
for ever sees it not.

PSALM 14.

1 That there is not a God, the fool

doth in his heart conclude:
They are corrupt, their works are vile ;
not one of them do'th good.

2 Upon men's sons the Lord from heav'n

did cast his eyes abroad.

To see if any understood,

and did seek after God.

3 They altogether filthy are:

they all aside are gone ;
And there is none that docth good,
yea, sure there is not one.
2

4 These workers of iniquity,

do they not know at all,
That they my people eat as bread,
and on God do not call ?

5 There fear'd they much ; for God is with

the whole race of the just,
G You shame the counsel of the poor,
because God is his trust.

PSALM 15.

1 Within thy tabernaclo, Lord,

who shrtU abide with thee ?
And in thy high and holy hill
who shall a dweller be ?

2 The man that walketh uprightly

and worketh righteousness :
And as he thinkcth in his heart,
so doth he truth express.

3 "Who doth not slander with his tongue,

nor to his friend do'th hurt ;

MEDFIELD. C. M.

Nor yet against his neighbour doth
take up an ill report.

4 In whose eyes vile men are despis'd;

but those that God do fear
He honouroth : and changeth not,
though to his hurt he swear.

5 His coin puts not to usury,

nor take reward will he
Against the guiltless. Who do'th thus,
shall never moved be.

PSALM 16.

1 Lord, keep me : for I trust in thee

2 To God thus was my speech :
Thou art my Lord, and unto thee

my goodness doth not reach :

3 To saints on earth, to th' excellent

where my delight's all plac'd.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied,

to other gods that haste:
Of their drink-otf'rings of blood

I will no off'ring make;
Yea, neither I their very names

up in my lijjs will take.

5 God is of mine inheritance

and cup the portion :
The lot that fiiUen is to me
thou dost maintain alone.

6 Unto me happily the lines

in pleasant jdaces fell ;
Yea, the inheritance I got,
in beauty doth excel.

7 I bless the Lord, because he doth

by counsel me conduct;
And in the seasons of the night
my reins do me instruct.

8 Before me still the Lord I set ;

since it is so, that he
Doth ever stand at my right hand,
I shall not moved be.

9 Because of this my heart is glad,

and joy shall be exprest
Ev'n by my glory ; and my flesh
in confidence shall rest.

10 Because my soul in grave to dwell,

shall not be left by thee ;
Nor wilt thou give thine holy One
corruption to see.

11 Thou wilt me show the path of life;

of joys there is full store
Before thy face ; at thy right hand
are pleasures evermore.

6 In my distress I call'd on God,

cry to my God did I ;
He from his temple heard my voice,
to his ears came my cry.

7 Th' earth, as affrighted, then did shake,

trembling upon it seiz'd ;
The hills' foundations moved were,
because he was displeas'd.

8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke,

and from his mouth there came
Devouring fire ; and coals by it
were turned into flame.

9 He also bowed down the heav'ns,

and thence he did descend;
And thickest clouds of darkness did

under his feet attend.
.0 And he upon a cherub rode,

and thereon he did fly ;
Yea, on the swift wings of the wind

his fli^jht was from on hitrh.

Repeat last line «f each vei s^-.

11 He darkness made his secret place :

about him, for his tent.
Dark waters were, and thickest clouds
of th' airy firmament.

12 And at the brightness of that light

which was before his eye.
His thick clouds pass'd away; hailstones
and coals of fire did fly.

13 The Lord God also in the heav'ns

did thunder in his ire ;
And there the Highest gave his voice ;
hailstones and coals of fire.

14 Tea, he his arrows sent abroad,

and them he scattered ;
His lightnings also he shot out,
and them discomfited.

15 The waters' channels then were seen,

the world's foundations vast
At thy rebuke discover'd were,
and' at thy nostrils' blast

PSALM 18.

IG And from abov-e the Lord sent down,
and took me from below ;
From many waters he me drew
which would me overflow.

17 He me reliev'd from my strong foes,

and such as did me hate ;
Because he saw that thoy for me
too strong were, and too great.

18 They me prevented in the day

of my calamity;
But even then the Lord himself
a stay was unto me.

19 He to a place v^here liberty

and room was, hath me brought;
Because he tool< delight in me,
he my deliv'rance wrought.

20 According to my righteousness

he did me recompense ;
He me repaid according to
my hands' pure innocence.

21 For I God's ways kept, from my God

did not turn wickedly.

22 His judgments were before me, I

his laws put not from me.

23 Sincere before him was my heart,

with him upright was I;
And watchfully I kept myself
from mine iniquity.

24 After my righteousness the Lord

hath recompensed me.
After the cleanness of my hands
appearing in his eye.

35 The shield of thy salvation

Thy right hand held me up, and great
thy kindness made me grow.

41 They cried out, but there was none

that would or could them save ;
Yea, they did cry unto the Lord,

3 There is no speech, nor tongue, to which

their voice doth not extend.

6 Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
From 's chamber, as a strong man doth

6 From hoav'n's end is his going forth,

circling to th' end again :
And there is nothing from his heat
that hidden doth remain.

7 God's law is perfect, and converts

the soul in sin that lies :

God's testimony is most sure,
and makes the simple wise.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right,

and do rejoice the heart :
The Lord's command is pure, and doth
light to the eyes impart.

9 Unspotted is the fear of God,

and doth endure for ever :
The judgments of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.

10 They more than gold, yea, much fine

to be desired are ; [g"lj.

PSALM 22.

1 My God, my God, why hast thou me

forsaken ? why so far
Art thou from helping me, and from
my words that roaring are ?

2 All day, my God, to thee I cry,

yet am not heard by thee ;
And in the season of the night

I cannot silent be.
;5 But thou art holy, thou that dost

inhabit Isr'el's praise.
4 Our fathers hop'd in thee; they hop'd,

and thou did'st them release.
•3 When unto thee they sent their cry,

to them deliv'rance came;
Because they put their trust in thee,

they were not put to shame.
G But as for me, a worm I am,

and as no man am priz'd ;

Keproach of men I am, and by
the people am despis'd.

7 All that me see laugh me to scorn ;

shoot out the lip do they ;
They nod and shake their heads at me,
and, mocking, thus do say :

8 This man did trust in God, that he

would free him by his might;
Let him deliver him, since he
had in him such delight.

9 But thou art he out of the womb

that did'st me safely take ;
When I was on mj- mother's breasts,
thou me to hope did'st make.
10 And I was cast upon thy care,
ev'n from the womb till now ;
And from my mother's belly, Lord,
my God and guide art thou.

PSALM 22.

11 Be not far off, for grief is near,

and none to help is found.

12 Bulls manj' compass me ; strong bulls

of Bashan me surround.

13 Their mouths they open'd wide on me,

upon mo gape did they ;
Like to a lion ravening,
and roaring for his prey.

14 Like water, I'm pour'd out, my bones

all out of joint do part;
Amidst my bowels, as the wax,
so melted is my heart.

15 My strength is like a potsherd dried:

my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws ; and to the dust
of death thou brought me hast.

BEDFORD. CM.

16 For dogs have compass'd me about;

the wicked, that did meet
In their assembly, me enclos'd ;
they pierc'd my hands and feet.

17 I all my bones may tell ; they do

Upon me look and stare.

18 Upon my vesture lots they cast,

and clothes among them share.

19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength ;

haste to give help to me. [dogs,

20 From sword my soul, from pow'r of

my darling set thou free.

21 Out of the roaring lion's mouth

do thou me shield and save ;
For from the horns of unicorns
an ear to me thou gave.

22 I will show forth thy name unto

those that my brethren are ;
Amidst the congregation
,thy praise I will declare.

23 Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear ;

him glorify, all ye
The seed of Jacob : fear him, all
.that Isr'el's children be.

24 For he despis'd not, nor abhorr'd

the afflicted's misery ;
Nor from him hid his face, but heard
when he to him did cry.

25 Within the congregation great

• my praise shall be of thee ;
My vows before them that him fear,
shall be perform'd by me.
j^Q The meek shall eat, and shall be fill'd ;
.they also praise shall give
'Unto the Lord th«t do him seek ;
your heart shall ever live.

27 All ends of th' earth remember shall

and turn the Lord unto ;
All kindreds of the nations
to him shall homage do.

28 Because the kingdom to the Lord

doth appertain as his ;
Likewise among the nations
the Governor he is.

29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall :

all who to dust descend
Shall bow to him ; none of them can
his soul from death defend.

30 A seed shall service do to him;

unto the Lord it shall
Bo for a generation
reckon'd in ages all.

31 They shall come, and they shall declare

his truth and righteousness
Unto a people yet unborn,
and that he hath done this.

1 The Lord's my light and saving health,

who shall make me dismay'd ?
My life's strength is the Lord ; of whom
then shall I be afraid ?

2 When as mine enemies and foes,

most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fall.

3 Against me though a host encamp,

my heart j'et fearless is :
Though war against me rise, I will
be confident in this.

4 One thing I of the Lord desir'd,

and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God's house remain ;

MEDPIELD

Bepeat 3d line of each veiDC.

That I the beauty of the Lord

behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place

may rev'rently inquire.
For he in his pavilion shall

me hide in evil days ;
In secret of his tent me hide,

and on a rock me raise.
And now, ev'n at this present time

mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,

and round encompass me :
Therefore unto his tabernacle

I'll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness ; I'll sing, yea, I

to God will praises sing.

7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice,

when I do cry to thee ;

Upon me also mercy have,

and do thou answer me.

8 "When thou didst say. Seek ye my face

then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, Above all things
thj' face. Lord, seek will I.

9 Far from me hide not thou thy face ;

put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath : thou hast
a helper been to me.
' O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake :
10 Though me my parents both should
the Lord will me up take. [leave,

110 Lord, instruct me in thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.

12 Give me not to mine en'mies' will;

for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
As breathe out cruelty.

13 I fainted had, unless that I

believed had to see
The Lord's own goodness in the land
of them that living be.

and ho shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,

According to thy righteousness,
do thou deliver me.

2 Bow down thine ear to me, with speed

send me deliverance :
To save me, my strong rock be thou,
and my house of defence.

3 Because thou art my rock, and thee

I for my fortress take ;
Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
ev'n for thine own name's sake.

4 And since thou art my strength, therefore

pull me out of the net,
Which they in subtilty for mo
so privily have set.

Into thine hands I do commit

my sp'rit : for thou art he,
O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,

that hast redeemed me.
Those that do lying vanities

regard, I have abhorred :
But as for me, my confidence

is fixed on the Lord.
I'll in thy mercy gladly joy;

for thou my miseries
Consider'd hast; thou hast my soul

known in adversities:
And thou hast not enclosed me

within the en'my's hand ;
And by thee have my feet been made

my years with sighs and groans:
My strength doth fail ; and for my sin
consumed are my bones.

and to my friends a fear ;
And 'specially reproach'd of those

that were my neighbours near :
"When they me saw, they from me fled.

Ev'n so I am forgot,
As men are out of mind when dead:

fear compass'd me, while they
Against me did consult, and plot

to take my life away.

From their hands that mine enemies
and persecutors be.

16 Thy countenance to shine do thou

upon thy servant make:
Unto me give salvation,
for thy great mercies' sake.

17 Let me not be asham'd, O Lord,

for on thee call'd I have:
Let wicked men be sham'd, let theifi
be silent in the grave.

18 To silence put the lying lips,

that grievous things do say,
And hard reports, in pride and scorn,
on righteous men do lay.

imputnth not his sin,
And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,

3 When as I did refrain my speech,

and silent was my tongue,
My bones then waxed old, because
I roared all day long:

4 For upon me both day and night

thine hand did heavy lie;
So that my moisture turned is
to summer's drought thereby.

5 I thereupon have unto thee

my sin acknowledged.
And likewise mine iniquity

I have not covered.
I will confess unto the Lord

my trespasses, said I,
And of my sin thou freely didst

forgive th' iniquity.

6 For this shall ev'ry godly one

his prayer make to thee ;

KEYS. C. M.

In such a time he shall thee seek,

as found thou mayest be.
Surely, when floods of waters great

do swell up to the brim,
They shall not overwhelm his soul,

nor once come near to him.

7 Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt

from trouble keep me free:
Thou, with songs of deliverance,
about shalt compass mc.

8 I will instruct thoc, and thee teach

the way that thou shalt go ;
And, with mine eye upon thee set,
I will direction show.

9 Then be not like the horse or mule,

which do not understand ; [thee.
Whose mouth, lest they come near to
a bridle must command.

10 Unto the man that wicked is,

his sorrows shall abound ;
But him that trusteth in the Lord
mercy shall compass round.

11 Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad,

in him do ye rejoice:
All ye that upright are in heart,
for joy lift up your voice.

it comely is and right.
That upright men, with thankful voice,
should praise the Lord of might.

2 Praise God with harp, and unto him

sing with the psaltery ;
Upon a ten string'd instrument
make ye sweet melody.

3 A new song to him sing, and play

with loud noise skilfully:

4 For right is God's word, all his works

are done in verity.

5 To judgment and to righteousness

a love he beareth still :
The loving-kindness of the Lord
the earth throughout doth fill.

Until the hatefulness be found

He to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.

4 He mischief, lying on his bed,

most cunningly doth plot:
He sets himself in ways not good;
ill he abhorreth not.

5 Thy mercy. Lord, is in the heavens ;

thy truth doth reach the clouds:

6 Thy justice is like mountains great ;

thy judgments deep as floods :

Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

7 How precious is thj' grace !
Therefore in shadow of thy wings

men's sons their trust shall place.

8 They with the fatness of thy house

shall be well satisfied ;
Prom rivers of thy pleasures thou
wilt drink to them provide.

9 Because of life the fountain pure

remains alone with thee ;

And in that purest light of thine
we clearly light shall see.

10 Thy loving-kindness unto them

continue that thee know ;
And still on men upright in heait
thy righteousness bestow.

11 Let not the foot of cruel pride

come, and against me stand ;
And let me not removed be,
Lord, by the wicked's hand.

Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.

Fret not thyself in any wise,

shall be cut off and fall :

23 A good man's footsteps by the Lord

are ordered ariglit ;
And in the way wherein he walks
he greatly doth delight.

24 Although he fall, yet shall he not

be cast down utterly ;
Because the Lord with his own hand
upholds him mightily.

25 I have been young, and now am old ;

yet have I never seen
The just man left, nor that his seed
for bread have beggars been.

26 He's ever merciful, and lends ;

his seed is bless'd therefore.

27 Depart from evil, and do good,

and dwell for evermore.

28 For God loves judgment, and his saints

leaves not in any case ;
They are kept ever ; but cut off
shall be the sinner's race.

29 The just inherit shall the land,

and ever in it dwell.

1 In thy great indignation,

O Lord, rebuke me not:
Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand,
in thy displeasure hot.

2 For in me fast thine arrows stick,

thine hand doth press me sore :
And in my flesh there is no health,
nor soundness any more.

3 This grief I have, because thy wrath

is forth against me gone;
And in my bones there is no rest
for sin that I have done.

4 Because gone up above mine head
my great transgrsssions be;

And, as a weighty burden, they
too heavj' are for me.

5 My wounds do stink, and are corrupt;

my folly makes it so.

6 I troubled am, and much bow'd down,

all day I mourning go.

7 For a disease that loathsome is

so fills my loins with pain,
That in my weak and wt'ary flesh
no soundness doth remain.

8 So feeble and infirm am I,

and broken am so sore.

9 O Lord, all that I do desire
is still before thine eye ;
And of my heart the secret groans
not hidden are from thee.

10 My heart doth pant incessantly,

my strength doth quite decay :
As for mine eyes, their wonted light
is from me gone away.

11 M)' lovers and my friends do stand

at distance from my sore ;
And those do stand aloof that were
kinsmen and kind before.

12 Yea, they that seek my life lay snares

who seek to do me wrong
S])oak things mischievous, and deceits
imagine all day long.

13 But, as one deaf, that heareth not,

I siiflfor'd all to pass;
I as a dumb man did become,
whose mouth not open'd was.

14 As one that hears not, in whose mouth

are no reproofs at all.

And they that hate me wrongfully
are greatly multiplied.

20 And they for good that render ill,

Yea, ev'n for this, because that I

Though hills amidst the seas be cast:

3 Though waters roaring make.

And troubled be ; yea, though the hills
by swelling seas do shake.

4 A river is, whose streams do glad

the city of our God ;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
most high hath his abode.

5 God in the midst of her doth dwell;

nothing shall her remove :
The Lord to her a helper will,

and that right early prove.
G The heathen rag'd tumultuously,

the kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,

the earth did melt for fear.

doth constantly remain :

have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations
ho on the earth hath brought.

9 Unto the ends of all the earth

wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
in fire the chariot burns.

10 Be still, and know that I am God ;

among the heathen I
Will be exalted ; I on earth
will be exalted high.

11 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,

is still upon our side:
The God of Jacxsb our refuge
for ever will abide.

PSALM 48.

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly he

is to be praised still.
AVithin the city of our God,
upon his holy hill.

2 Mount Sion stands most beautiful,

the joy of all the land ;
The city of the mighty King
on her north side doth stand.

3 The Lord within her palaces

is for a refuge known.

4 For, lo, the kings that gather'd were,

together, by have gone.

5 But, when they did behold the same,

they, wond'ring, would not stay ;

r-

But, being troubled at the sight,
they thence did haste away.

Great terror there took hold on them,
they were possess'd with fear;

Their grief came like a woman's pain
when she a child doth bear.

Thou Tarshish ships with east wind
As we have heard it told, [break's! ;

So in the city of the Lord,
our eyes did it behold ;

In our God's city which his hand

for ever 'stablish will.
We of thy loving-kindness thought,

Lord, ill thy temple still.

BEATTLE STREET. CM. 8 lines.

10 0 Lord, according to thy name.

through all the earth's thy praise.
And thy right hand, O Lord, is full
of righteousness always.

1 1 Because thyjudgments are made known

let Sion mount rejoice ;
Of Juduh let the diiugliters nil
send forth a cheerful voice.

13

14

Walk about Sion, and go round ;

the high tow'rs thereof tell :
Consider ye lier palaces,

and mark her bulwarks well ;
That ye may tell posterity.

For this God doth abide
Our God for evermore ; he will

ev'n unto death us guide.

PSALM 49. 49

PSALM 49.
Hear this, all people, and give ear,

all in the world that dwell :
Both low and high, both rich and poor.

My mouth s-hall wisdom tell:
My heart shall knowledge meditate.

I will incline mine ear
To parables; and on the harp

my sayings dark declare.
Amidst those days that evil be,
why should I, fearing, doubt;
"When of my heels th' iniquity

shall compass me about?
Whoe'er they be that in their wealth

their confidence do pitch,
And boast themselves, because they are
become exceeding rich ;
Yet none of these his brother can

redeem by any way ;
Nor can he unto God for him

sufficient ransom pay:
(Their soul's redemption precious is,
and it can never be,)
That still he should for ever live,

and not corruption see.
For why? he seeth that wise men die,
and brutish fools also
Do perish; and their wealth, when dead,
to others they let go.
Their inward thought is, that their
and dwelling places shall [house

Stand through all ages: they their lands
by their own names do call.

12 But yet in honor shall not man

abide continually ;
But passing hence, may be compar'd
unto the beasts that die.

13 Thus brutish folly plainly is

their wisdom and their way ;
Yet their posterity approve
what they do fondly say.

14 Like sheep they in the grave arc laid,

and death shall them devour;
And in the morning upright men

shall over them have pow'r :
Their beauty frcjm their dwelling shall

consume within the grave.

15 But from boll's hand God will me free,

for he shall me receive.
IG Be thou not then afraid, when one
enriched thou dost see,
Nor wlien the gloi-y of his house
advanced is on high :

17 For he shall carry nothing hence,

when death his days doth end ;
Nnr sliall his glory after him
into the grave descend.

18 Although he his own soul did bless,

whilst he on earlh did live;
(And when thou to th^'self dost well,
men will thee praises give;)

19 He to his fathers race shall go;

they never shall see light.

20 Man honoured, wanting knowledge, is

like beasts that perish quite.

The words from verse 12 (of Psalm 49) may be used for the followiug Tuue.

The earth, from rising of the sun,
to where he hath his fall.

2 From out of Sion hill,

which of excellency
And beauty the perfection is,
God shined gloriously.

3 Our God shall surely come,

keep silence shall not he :
Before him fire shall waste, great storms
shall 7-ound about him be.

4 Unto the heavens clear

he from above shall call.
And lo the earth likeivise that he
may judge his people all :

5 Together let my saints

unto me gathered be ;
Those that by sacrifice have made
a covenant with me.

6 And then the heavens shall

his righteousness declare:

Because the Lord himself is he

by whom men judged are.

No blame will on thee lay :

are all to me well known :

ev'n they are all mine own.

Then, if I hungry were,
I would not tell it thee ;

Because the world, and fulness all
thereof, belongs to me.

Will I eat flesh of bulls?
or goal's blood drink will I?

14 Thanks offer thou lo God. and pay

2 From out of Sion, his own hill,

That so these very hones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.

9 All mine iniquities blot out,

thy face hide from my sin.

10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew

a right sp'rit me within.

11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take

thy holy Sp'rit away.

12 Restore me thy salvation's joy,

15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee

let them be opened ;
Then shall thy praises by my mouth

else would I give it thee ;
Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering
at all delighted be.

To see if any one there was
that sought God, and was wise.

they all are backward gone;
And there is none that doetb good,
no, not so nauch as one.

i These workers of iniquity,

That they my people eat as bread,
and on God do not call ?

5 Ev'n there they were afraid, and stood

Por God his bones that thee besieg'd,

1 O Lord, thou bast rejected us,

and sc'iitler'd us abroad ;
Tbou justly hast displeased been :
return to us, O God.

2 The earth to tremble tbou bast made;

therein didst breaches make:
Do tbou thereof the breaches heal,
because the land doth shake.

3 Unto thy people thou hard things

hast show'd, and on them sent;

And thou hast caused us to drink
wine of astonishment.

4 And yet a. banner thou hast g'lv'n

to them who thee do fear;
That it by them, because of truth,
displayed may appear.

5 That thy beloved people may

deliver'd be from thrall,
Save with the power of thy right hand,
and hear me when I call.

PSALM 62.

1 My soul with expectation

depends on God indeed ;
My strength and my salvation doth
from him alone proceed.

2 He only my salvation is,

and my strong Rock is he ;
He only is my sure defence:
much mov'd I shall not be.

3 IIiiw long will ye against a man

plot mischief? ye shall all
Be slain ; ye as a tott'ring fence
shall be, and bowing wall.

4 Tliey only plot to cast him down

from his excellency :
They joy in lies ; with mouth they bless,

but they curse inwardly.
[) My soul, wait thou with patience

upon tliy God nlimi; ;
On him dependeth all my hope

and expectation.
G He only my salvation is,

and my strong rock is he;
He only is my sure defence:

1 shall not moved be.

7 In God my glory placed is,

and my salvation sure;
In God the rock is of my strength,
my refuge most secure.

8 Ye people, place your confidence

in him continually ;
Before him pour ye out j'our heart,
God is our refuge high.

9 Surely mean men are vanity,

and great men are a lie ;
In balance laid, they wholly are
more light than vanity.

10 Trust yp not in oppression,

in robb'ry be not vain ;
On wealth set not your hearts, when as
increased is your gain.

11 God hath it spoken once to me,

yea, this I heard again.
That power to Almighty God
alone doth appci-tain.

12 Yea, mercy also unto thee

belongs, O Lord, alone:
For thou according to his work
rewardest every one.

1 Lord, thee, my G-od, I'll early seek ;

my soul doth thirst for thee ;
My flesh longs in a dry, pareh'd land,
wherein no waters be:

2 That I thy power may behold,

and brightness of thy face,
As I have seen thee heretofore
within thy holy place.

3 Since better is thy love than life,

my lips thee praise shall give.

4 I in thy name will lift my hands,

and bless thee while I live.

5 Ev'n as with marrow and with fat

my soul shall filled be;
Then shall my mouth with joyful lips
sing praises unto thee ;

Bcpeat 3d Uoe of each verse.

6 When I do thee upon my bed

remember with delight.
And when on thee I meditate
in watches of the night.

7 In shadow of thy wings I'll joy,

for thou mine help hast been.

8 My soul thee follows hard ; and mo

thy right hand doth sustain.

9 Who seek my soul to spill shall sink

down to earth's lowest room.

10 They by the sword shall be cut off,

Lord, to my voice give ear;

of whom I stand in fear.

2 Me from their secret counsel hide

who do live wickedly;
From insurrection of those men
that work iniquity;

3 Who do their tongues with malice whet,

and make them cut like swords;
In whose bent bows are arrows set,
ev'n sharp and bitter words :

4 That they may at the perfect man

in secret aim their shot;
Yea, suddenly they dare at him
to shoot, and fear it not.
6 In ill encourage they them=elvea,
and their snares close do lay :

Together conference they have ;
Who shall them see ? they say.

6 They have search'd out iniquities,

a perfect search they keep:
Of each of them the inward thought,
and very heart is deep.

7 God shall an arrow shoot at them,

and wound them suddenly;

8 So their own tongue shall them con-

all who them see shall fly. [found,

9 And on all men a fear shall fall,

God's work they shall declare:
For they shall wisely notice take

what these his doings are.

and trust upon his might;

in heart that are upright.

And hitherto I have declared
the wonders thou hast wrought.

18 And now. Lord, leave me not, when I

who is like unto thee ? [God,

20 Thou, Lord, who great adversities,

and sore, to me didst show,
Shalt quicken, and bring me again
from depths of earth below.

21 My greatness and my pow'r thou wilt

increase and far extend :
On ev'ry side against all grief
thou wilt me comfort send.

22 Thee, ev'n thy truth, I'll also praise,

my God, with psalt'rj-.

Thou holy One of Israel,
with harp I'll sing to thee.

23 My lips shall much rejoice in thee,

when I thy praises sound ;
My soul, which thou redeemed hast,

continuing all day long;

1 0 Lord, thy judgments give the king,

his son thy righteousness.

2 "With right he shall thy people judge,

thy poor with uprightness.

3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth

unto the people peace ;
Likewise the little hills the same
shall do, by righteousness.

4 The people's poor ones he shall judge,

the needy's children save ;
And those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.

5 They shall thee fear, whilesun and moon

do last, through ages all.

6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,

or show'rs on earth that fall.

7 The just shall flourish in his days,

and prosper in his reign ;
He shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.

8 His large and great dominion shall

from sea to sea extend ;
It from the river shall reach forth
unto earth's utmost end.

9 They in the wilderness that dwell

bow down before him must;

And they that are his enemies

shall lick the very dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles

to him shall presents bring ;
And unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba's and Seba's king.

11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth

before him down shall fall ;
And all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.

12 For he the needy shall preserve,

when he to him doth call ;
The poor also, and him that hath
no help of man at all.

13 The poor man and the indigent

in mercy he shall spare ;
He shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.

14 Both from deceit and violence

their soul he shall set free;
And in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.

15 Tea, he shall live, and giv'n to him

shall be of Sheba's gold ;
For him still shall they pray, and he
shall daily be extoU'd.

1 Yet God is good to Israel,

to each pure-hearted one.

2 But as for me, my steps near slipp'd,

my feet were almost gone.
8 For I envious was, and grudg'd

the foolish folk to see,
"When I perceiv'd the wicked sort

enjoy prosperity.
4 For still their strength continueth firm,

their death of bands is free.

6 They are not toil'd like other men ;

nor plagued as others be.

C Therefore their pride, like to a chain,
them compasseth about ;
And, as u garment, violence,
doth cover them throughout.

7 Their eyes stand out with fat ; they have

more than their hearts could wish.

8 They are corrupt ; their talk of wrong

both lewd and lofty is.

9 They set their mouth against the heav'ns

in their blasphemous talk:

And their reproaching tongue through-
the earth at large doth walk. [out

10 His people oftentimes for this

look back, and turn about ;
Since waters of so full a cup
to these are poured out.

11 And thus they say. How can it be

that God these things doth know ?
Or, can there in the Highest be
knowledge of things below ?

12 Behold, these are the wicked ones,

yet prosper at their will
In worldly things ; they do increase
in wealth and riches still.

13 I, verily, have done in vain

my heart to purify ;
To no efl'ect in innocence
washed my hands have I.

14 For daily, and all day throughout

great plagues I suffered have;
Tea, every morning I of new
did chastisement receive.

1 O God, why hast thou cast us oif ?

is it for evermore ?
Against thy pasture-sheep why doth
thine anger smoke so sore?

2 O call to thy remembrance

thy congregation,
Which thou hast purchased of old ;
still think the same upon :

The rod of thine inheritance,
which thou redeemed hast,

This Zion hill, wherein thou hadst
thy dwelling in times past.

3 To these long desolations,

thy feet lift, do not tarry ;
For all the ills thy foes have done
within thy sanctuary.

4 Amidst thy congregations

thine enemies do roar:
Their ensigns they set up for signs
of triumph thee before.

5 A man was famous, and was had

in estimation.
According as he lifted up
his axe thick trees upon :

6 But all at once with axes now

and hammers they go to.
And down the carved work thereof
they break, and quite undo.

7 They fired have thy sanctuarj-,

and have dcfil'd the same,
By casting down unto the ground
the place where dwelt thy name.

8 Thus said they in their hearts. Let us

destroy them out of hand:
They burnt up all the synagogues
of God within the land.

9 Our signs we do not now behold;

there is not us among
A prophet more, nor any one
that knows the time how long.

DOWNS. C. M

10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy

thus in reproach exclaim ?
And shall the adversary thus
always blaspheme thy name?

11 Thy hand, ev'n thy right hand of might,

why dost thou thus draw back ?
O from thy bosom pluck it out,
for our deliv'rance sake.

12 For certainly God is my king,

ev'n from the times of old :
"Working in midst of all the earth
salvation manifold.

13 The sea, by thy great pow'r, to part

asunder thou didst make ;
And thou the dragons' heads, O Lord,
within the waters brake.

14 The leviathan's head thou brak'st

in pieces, and didst give
Him to be meat unto the folk
in wilderness that live.

15 Thou clav'st the fountain and the flood,

which did with streams abound :
Thou dri'dst the mighty waters up
unto the very ground.

16 Thine only is the daj-, O Lord,

thine also is the night;
And thou alone prepared hast
the sun and shining light.

BROWN . C. M.

17 By thee the borders of the earth

were settled every where :
The summer and the winter both
by thee created were.

18 That til' enemy reproached hath,

O keep it in record ;
And that the foolish people have
blasphem'd thy name, O Lord.

19 Unto the multitude do not

thy turtle's soul deliver:
The congregation of thy poor
do not forget for ever.

20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect;

for earth's dark places be
Full of the habitations
of horrid cruelty.

21 0 let not those that be oppress'd

return again with shame:
Let those that poor and needy are
give praise unto thy name.

22 Do thou, O God, arise, and plead
the cause that is thine own :

Remember how thou art reproach'd
still by the foolish one.

23 Do not forget the voice of those
that are thine enemies :

Of those the tumult ever grows
that do against thee rise.

PSALM 75.

1 To thoe, O God, do we give thanks

we do give thanks to thee;
Because thy wondrous works declare
thy great name near to be.

2 I purpose, when I shall receive

the congregation.
That I shall judgment uprightly
render to every one.

3 Dissolved is the land, with all

that in the same do dwell ;
But I the pillars thereof do
bear up, and 'stablish well.

4 I to the foolish people said,

Do not deal foolishly ;
And unto those that wicked are.
Lift not your horn on high.

5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak

6 with stubborn neck. But know
That not from east, nor west, nor sonth,

promotion doth flow.

7 But God is judge ; he puts down one,

and sets another up.

8 For in the hand of God most high

of red wine is a cup:
'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth,

and makes the wicked all
"Wring out the bitter dregs thereof;

yea, and they drink them shall.

9 But I for ever will declare,

I Jacob's God will praise.
10 All horns of lewd men I'll cut off;
but ju.st men's horns will raise.

how I might ease mj- smart.
For ever will the Lord cast off,

and gracious be no more ?
For ever is his mercy gone ?

fails his word evermore ?
Is't true that to be gracious

the Lord forgotten hath ?
And that his tender mercies he

hath shut up in his wrath V
Then did I say, That surely this

PSALM

1 Attend, my people, to my law,

thereto give thou an ear ;
The words that from my mouth proceed
attentively do hear.

2 My mouth shall speak a parable,

and sayings dark of old ;

3 The same which we have heard and

and us our fathers told. [known,

4 We also will them not conceal

from their posterity ;
Them to the generation

to come declare will we ;
The praises of the Lord our God,

and his almighty strength.
The wondrous works that he hath done,

we will show forth at length.

5 His testimony and his law

in Isr'el he did place,
And charg'd our fathers it to show
to their succeeding race;

That so the race which was to come

might well them learn and know;
And sons unborn, who should arise,

might to their sons them show :
That they might set their hope in God,

and suffer not to fixU
His mighty works out of their niiiid,

but keep his precepts all ;
And might not, like their fathers, be

a stifl', rebellious race :
A race not right in heart: with God

whose spirit not steadfast was.
The sons of Ephraim, who nor bows

nor other arms did lack,
"When as the day of battle was,

they faintlj' turned back.
They brake God's cov'nant, and refused

in his commands to go :
His works and wonders they forgot,

which he to them did show.

12 Things marvellous he brought to pass,

their fathers them beheld,
Within the land of Egypt done,
yea, cv'n in Zoan's field.

13 By him divided was the sea,

he caused them through to pass;
And made the waters so to stand,
as like a heap it was.

14 With cloud by day, with light of fire

all night, he did them guide,
1-5 In desert rocks he clave, and drink,
as from great depths, supplied.

16 He from the rock brought streams, like

made waters to run down. [floods

17 Yet, sinning more, in desert they

provok'd the highest One.

18 For in their heart they tempted God,

and speaking with mistrust,
They greedily did meat require
to satisfy their lust.

19 Against the Lord himself they spake ;

and murmuring, said thus,
A table in the wilderness
can God prepare for us ?

20 Behold, he smote the rock, and thence

came streams and waters great;
But can he give his people bread?
and send them flesh to eat?

21 The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth ;

so kindled was a flame
'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israel
up indignation came.

22 For they believ'd not God, nor trust

in his salvation had ;

23 Though clouds above he did command

and heav'n's doors open made ;
21 And manna rain'd on them, and gave

them corn of heav'n to eat.
25 Man angels' food did eat ; to them

he to the full sent meat.
20 And in the heaven he did cause

an eastern wind to blow ;
And by his power he let out

the southern wind to go.
27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made

to rain down them among ;
And feather'd fowls, like as the sand

which lieth the shore along.

28 At his command amidst their camp

these show'rs of flesh down fell.
All round about the tabernacles
and tents where they did dwell.

29 So they did eat abundantly,

and had of meat their fill ;
For he did give to them what was,
their own desire and will.

30 They from their lust had not cstrang'd

their heai-t and their desire ;
But while lU,^ meat was in their mouths
which they did so require,

31 God's wrath upon them came, and slew

the fattest of them all ;
So that the choice of Israel,
o'erthrown by death, did fall.

32 Tet, notwithstanding of all this,

they sinned still the more ;
And tho' he had groat wonders wrought,
believ'd him not therefore.

33 Wherefore their days in vanity

he did consume and waste ;
And by his wrath their wretched years

away in trouble past.
84 But when he slew them, then they did

to seek him show desire ;
Yea, they return'd, and after God

right early did inquire.

35 And that the Lord had been their Kock

they did remember then ;
Ev'n that the high almighty God
had their Kedeemer been.

36 Yet with their mouth they flatter'd him,

and spake but feignedly ;
And they unto the God of truth
with their false tongues did lie.

37 For though their words were good, their
with him was not sincere: [heart

Unsteadfast and perfidious
they in his cov'nant were.

38 But, full of pity, he forgave
their sin, them did not slay;

Nor stirr'd up all his wrath, but oft
his anger turn'd away.

39 For that they were but fading flesh
to mind he did recall ;

A wind that passeth soon away,
and not returns at all.

STEPHENS

40 How often did they him provoke

within the wilderness!
And in the desert did him grieve
with their rebelliousness !

41 Tea, turning back, they tempted God,

and limits set upon
Him, who in midst of Isr'el is
the only holy One.

42 They did not call to mind his pow'r,

nor yet the day when he
Deliver'd them out of the hand
of their fierce enemy:

43 Nor how great signs in Egypt land

he openly had wrought;
What miracles in Zoan's field
his hand to pass had brought.

44 How lakes and rivers every where

he turned into blood;
So that nor man nor beast could drink
of standing lake or flood.

45 He brought among them swarms of flies,

which did them sore annoy ;
And divers kinds of filthy frogs
he sent them to destroy.

46 He to the caterpillar gave

the fruits of all their toil ;
Their labours he deliver'd up
unto the locust's spoil.

47 Their vines with hail, their sycamores

he with the frost did blast.

48 Their beasts to hail he gave, their flocks

hot thunderbolts did waste.

49 Fierce burning wrath he on them cast,

and indignation strong.
And troubles sore, by sending forth
ill angels them among.

50 He to his wrath made way ; their sOuls

from death he did not save ;
But over to the pestilence
the lives of them he gave.

51 In Egypt land the first-born all
he smote down ev'ry where ;
Among the tents of Ham, ev'n these
chief of their strength that were.
62 But his own people, like to sheep,
thence to go forth he made;
And he, amidst the wilderness,
them, as a flock, did lead.

53 And he them safely on did lead,

so that they did not fear:
Whereas their en'mies by the sea
quite overwhelmed were.

54 To borders of his sanctuary

the Lord his people led,
Ev'n to the mount which his right band
for them had purchased.

55 The nations of Canaan,

by his almighty hand.
Before their face he did expel

out of their native land ;
Which for inheritance to them,

by line he did divide,
And made the tribes of Israel

within their tents abide.

56 Yet God most high they did provoke,

and tempted ever still,

And to observe his testimonies
did not incline their will.

57 But, like their fathers, turned back,

and dealt unfaithfully ;

Aside they turned like a bow

that shoots deceitfully.

58 For they to anger did provoke

him with their places high ;
And with their graven images
mov'd him to jealousy.

59 When God heard this, he waxed wroth,

and much loath'd Isr'el then ;

60 So Shiloh's tent he left, the tent

which he had plac'd with men.

61 And he his strength delivered

into captivity ;
He left his glory in the hand
of his proud enemy.

62 His people also he gave o'er

unto the sword's fierce rage ;
So sore his wrath inflamed was
against his heritage.

63 The fire consum'd their choice young men,

their maids no mnrriase had ;

64 And when their priests M\ hy the sword,

their wives no niourniii'' made.

And like a giant that, by wine

refresh'd, a shout doth make.

66 Upon his en'mies' hinder parts

he made his stroke to fall ;
And so upon them he did put
a shame perpetual.

67 Moreover he the tabernacle

of Joseph did refuse ;
The mighty tribe of Ephraim
he would in no wise choose :

68 But he did choose Jehudah's tribe

to be the rest above;

71 From waiting on the ewes with young,

he brought him forth to feed
Israel, his inheritance,
his peojile, Jacob's seed.

72 So after the integrity

he of his heart them fed ;
And by the good skill of his hands
them wisely governed.

PSALM 80.

1 Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd, like a flock

thou that dost Joseph guide ;
Shine forth, O thou that dost between
the cherubims abide.

2 In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's,

and in Manasseh's sight,
0 come for our salvation,
stir up thy strength and might.
8 Turn us again, O Lord our God,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.

4 O Lord of hosts. Almighty God,

how long shall kindled bo
Thy wrath against the prayer made
by thine own folk to thee?

5 Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them

instead of bread to eat ;
Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st
to them in measure great.

6 Thou makcst us a strife unto

our neighbours round about;
Our enemies among themselves
at us do laugh and flout.

7 Turn us again, O God of hosts,

and upon us vouchsafe
11

Repeat last line of each i

To make thy countenance to shine,

8 A vine from Egypt brought thou hast,

by thine outstretched hand ;
And thou the heathen out didst cast,
to plant it in their land.

9 Before it thou a room didst make

where it might grow and stand ;
Thou caused'i-t it deep root to take,
and it did fill the land.

10 The mountains veil'd were with its shade

as with a covering ;
Like goodly cedars wore the biuighs
which out from it did spring.

11 Upon the one hand to the sea

her boughs she did out send :
On th' other side unto the flood
her branches did extend.

12 "Why hast thou then thus broken down

and ta'cn hor hedge away ;
So that all passengers do pluck,
and make of her a prcj' ''

13 The boar who from tlie forest comes,

doth waste it at his pleasure;
The wild beast of the Held aNo
devours it out of measure.

return now unto thine :
Look down from heav'n in love, behold,
and visit this thy vine:

15 This vineyard, which thine own right

hath planted us among; [hand

And that same branch, which for thyself

thou hast made to bo strong.

16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire,

They utterly are perished,

17 O let thy hand be still upon

the man of thy right hand,

O do thou quicken us, and we

upon thy name will call.

PSALM 81.

1 Sing loud to God our strength ; with joy

to Jacob's God do sing.

2 Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp

timbrel and psalt'ry bring.

3 Blow trumpets at new-moon, what day

our feast appointed is :

4 For charge to Isr'el, and a law

of Jacob's God was this.
0 To Joseph this a testimony

he made, when Egypt land
He travell'd thro', where speech I heard

I did not understand.
G His shoulder I from burdens took,

his hands from pots did free.

7 Thou didst in trouble on me call,

and I deliver'd thee:
In secret place of thundering

I did thee answer make ;
And at the streams of Meribah

of thee a proof did take.

8 O thou, my peojilo, give an ear,

I'll testify' to thee;
To thee, O Isr'el, if thou wilt
but hearken unto me.

9 In midst of thee there shall not be

any strange god at all ;

Nor unto any god unknown
thou bowing down shalt fall.

10 I am the Lord thy God, which did

from Egypt land thee guide:
I'll fill thy mouth abundantly,
do thou it open wide.

11 But yet my people to my voice

would not attentive be ;
And ev'n my chosen Israel,
he would have none of me.

12 So to the lust of their own hearts

I them delivered;
And then in counsels of their own
they vainly wandered.

13 O that my people had me heard,

Isr'el niy ways had chose !

14 I had their en'mies soon subdu'd,

my hand turn'd on their foes.

15 The haters of the Lord to him

submission should have feign'd :
But as for them, their time should havo
for evermore remain'd.

16 He should have also fed them with

the finest of the wheat;
Of honey from the rock, thy fill
I should have made thee eat.

12 Who said, For our possession

let us God's houses take.

14 As fire consumes thS wood, as flame

doth mountains set on fire;

15 Chase and affright tliem with the storm

and tempest of thine ire.

that they may seek thy name.

17 Let them confounded be, and vex'd,

PSALM 92 & 93.

PSALM 92.
To render thanks unto the Lorcl,

it is a comely thing.
And to thy name, O thou most high

due praise aloud to sing :
Thy loving-kindness to show forth,

when shines the morning light ;
And to declare thy faithfulness

with pleasure ev'ry night.
On a ten-stringed instrument,

upon the psaltery ;
And on the harp with solemn sound,

and grave sweet melody.
For thou, Lord, by thy mighty work,

hast made my heart right glad ;
And I will triumph in the works

which by thine hands were made.
How great, Lord, are thy works! each

of thine a deep it is : [thought

A brutish man it knoweth not;

fools understand not this.
When those that lewd and wicked are

spring quickly up like grass,
And workers of iniquity

do flourish all apace ;
It is that they for ever rnay

destroyed be and slain :
But thou, O Lord, art the most High,

for ever to remain.

GENEVA. C. M.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,
thine en'mies perish shall ;
The workers of iniquity
shall be dispersed all.

10 But thou shalt, like unto the horn

of th' unicorn, exalt
Jly horn on high: thou with fresh oil
anoint me also shalt.

11 Mine eye shall also my desire

see on mine enemies :
Mine ears shall of the wicked hear,
that do against me rise.

12 But like the palm-tree flourishing

shall be the righteous one ;
He shall like to the cedar grow
that is in Lebanon.

13 Those that within the house of God

are ])lant('d by his grace.
They shall grow up and flourish all
in our God's holy place.

14 And in old age, when others fade,

they fruit still forth shall bring ;
They shall be fat, and full of sap,
and aye be flourishing ;

15 To show that upright is the Lord :

he is a rock to me ;
And he from all unrighteousness
is altosrether free.

The world is also 'stablished,

that it cannot depart.

2 Thy throne is fix'd (if old, and thou

3 The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,

I'ley lifted up their voice ;

The floods have lifted up their waves,
and made a mighty noise.

4 But yet the Lord, that is on high,

is more of might by far
Than noise of many waters is,

1 O Lord God, unto whom alone

all vengeance doth belong :
O mighty God, who vengeance own'st,
shine forth, avenging wrong.

2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth

the sov'reign judge that art;
And unto those that are so proud
a due reward impart.

3 How long, O mighty God, shall they

who lewd and wicked be,
How long shall they who wicked are,
thus triumph haughtil}' ?

4 How longshallthingsmost hard by them

be uttered and told ?
And all that work iniquity
to boast themselves be bold ?

5 Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord,

thine heritage oppress;
G The widow they and stranger slay,
and kill the fatherless.

nor iJod of Jacob know.

9 The Lord did plant the ear of man,

He only form'd the eye, and then
shall he not clearly see ?

10 He that the nations doth correct,

shall he not chastise you?
He knowledge unto man doth leach
and shall himself not know ?

11 Man's thoughts to be but vanity,

the Lord doth well discern.

12 Bless'd is the man thou chast'nest. Lord,

and mak'st thy law to learn :

13 That thou may'st give him rest from

of sad adversity. [daj's

Until the pit he digg'd for those
that work iniquity.

14 For sure the Lord will not cast off

those that his people be.

Neither his own inheritance

quit and forsake will he :

15 But judgment unto righteousness

shall j'et return again ;
And all shall follow after it
that are right-hearted men.

My drink I also mingled have

with tears that I did weep.
Thy wrath and indignation

For thou hast lif^t me on high,

and cast me down again.
My days are like unto a shade,

which doth declining pass;
And I am dried and withered,

nor keep his anger .still.

10 With us he dealt not as we sinn'd,

nor did requite our ill.

11 For as the heaven in its height

the earth surmounteth far;
So great to those that do him fear
his tender mercies are :

12 As far as east is distant from

the west, so far hath he
From us removed, in his love,
all our iniquity.

13 Such pity as a father hath

unto liis children dear;

Like pity shows the Lord to such

as worship him in fear.
14 For he remembers we are dust,

and he our frame well knows.
17 Frail man, his days are like the grass,

as flow'r in field he grows :

16 For over it the wind doth pass,

and it away is gone ;
And of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.

17 But unto them that do him fear

God's mercy never ends :
And to their children's children still
his righteousness extends :

and mindful are alway
Of his most just commanderncnts,

PSALM 104.

1 Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God,

tliou art exceeding great ;
With honour and with majesty
thou clothed art in state.

2 With light, as with a robe, thyself

thou coverest about ;
And like unto a curtain, thou
the heavens stretchest out.

3 Who of his chambers doth the beams

within the waters lay ;
Who doth the clouds his chariot make;
on wings of wind make way :

4 Who flaming fire his ministers,

his angels sp'rits doth make:

5 Who earth's foundations did lay

that it should never shake.

6 Thou didst it cover with the deep,

as with a garment spread :
The waters stood above the hills,
when thou the word but said.

7 But at the voice of thy rebuke

they fled, and would not stay :
They at thy thunder's dreadful voice
did haste them fast away.

8 They by the mountains do ascend,

and by the valley ground

Descend, unto that very place
which thou for them didst found.
9 Thou hast a bound unto them set,
that they may not pass over:

That they do not return again
the face of earth to cover.

10 He to the valleys sends the springs,

which run among the hills :

11 They to all beasts of fields give drink,

wild asses drink their fills.

12 By them the fowls of heav'n shall have

their habitation,
Which do among the branches sing
with delectation.

13 He from his chambers watereth

the hills, when thej' arc dried :
With fruit and increase of thy works
the earth is satisfied.

14 For cattle he makes grass to grow,

he makes the herb to spring
For th' use of man, that food to him
he from the earth may bring;

15 And wine, tliat to the heart of man

doth cheerfulness impart.
Oil that his face makes shine, and bread
that strengtheneth his heart

16 The trees of God are full of sap;

the cedars that do stand
In Lebanon, which planted were
by his almighty hand.

17 Birds of the air, upon their boughs

do choose their nests to make;
As for the stork, the fir-tree she
doth for her dwelling take.

18 The lofty mountains for wild goats

a place of refuge bo ;
The conies also to the rocks
do for their safety flee.

wherein things creeping are,
"Which number'd cannot be; and beasts
both great and small are there.

2G There ships go ; there thou mak'st to

Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally,

29 Thou hid'st thy face, they troubled are;

their breath thou tak'st awaj' ;
Then do they die. and to their dus4
return again do they.

30 Thyquick'ning spirit thousend'st forth,

then they created be ;
And then the earth's decayed face

6 O ye that are of Abr'ham's race,

his servants well approv'n ;
And ye that Jacob's children are,
whom he chose for his own.

7 Because he and he only is

the mighty Lord our God ;
And his most righteous judgments are

in all the earth abroad.
His cov'nant he remembered hath

that it may ever stand ;
To thousand generations

the word be did command.
9 "Which covenant he firmly made

with faithful Abraham,
And unto Isaac, by his oath,

he did renew the same:

10 And unto Jacob, for a law,

he made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel,

which ever should endure :

11 He said, I'll give Canaan's land

for heritage to you.

12 While they were strangers there, and

in number, very few: [few

13 While yet they went from land to land,

without a sure abode:
And while, thro' sundry kingdoms, they
did wander far abroad ;

14 Yet notwithstanding suflered he

no man to do them wrong;
Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove

kings, who were great and strong,
lo Thus did he say, Touch ye not those

that mine anointed be,
Nor do the projihets any harm

that do pertain to me.

16 He call'd for famine on the land,

he brake the staff of bread :

17 But yet he sent a man before,

by whom they should be fed ;
Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rally
sell for a slave did they ;

18 "Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,

and he in irons lay ;

19 Until the time that his word came

to give him liberty ;
The word and purpose of the Lord
did him in prison try.

20 Then sent the king, and did command

that he enlarg'd should be;
He that the people's ruler was
did ."^end t<j set him free.

21 A l(jrd,to rule his fimily, i

he rais'd him, as most fit: |

To him of all that he posse-a'd
he did the charge ci>mmit :

22 That he might at his pleasure bind

the princes of the land ;

And he might teach his senators
wisdom to understand.

23 The people then of Israel

down into Egypt came ;
And Jacob also sojourned
within the land of Ham.

24 And he did greatly by his pow'r

increase his people there :
And stronger than their enemies
they by his blessing were.
2-5 Their heart he turned to envy
his folk maliciously,
With those that his own servants were
to deal in subtilty.
2G His servant Moses he did send,
Aaron his chosen one ;

27 By these his signs and wonders great

in Ham's land were made known.

28 Darkness he sent, and made it dark ;

his word thej- did obey.

29 He turn'd their waters into blood,

and he their fish did slay.

30 The land, in plentj-, brought forth frogs

in chambers of their kings.

31 His word all sorts of files and lice

in all their borders brings.

32 He hail for rain, and flaming fire

into their land he sent :

33 And he their vines and fig-trees smote ;

trees of their coasts he rent.

34 He spake, and caterjiillars came,

locusts did much abound ;

35 Which in their land all herbs consum'd,

and all fruits of their ground.
30 He smote all first-born in their land,
chief of their strength each one.

37 With goldandsilverbroughtthemforth;
weak in their tribes were none.

38 Egypt was glad when forth they went ;
their fear on them did light.

39 He spread a cloud for covering,
and fire to shine by night.

40 Theyask'd, and he brought quails ; with
of heav'n he filled them. [hread

41 He open'd rocks, floods gush'd, and rai
in deserts like a stream.

42 For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abr'ham thought.

43 With joy his people, his elect
with gladness forth he brought.

44 And unto them the jileasant lands
he of the heathen gave ;

That of the people's labour thoy
inheritance might have;

45 That they his statutes might observd

according to his word ;
And that they might his laws obey.
Give praise unto the Lord.

PSALM 106.

1 Give p: aise and thanks unto the Lord,

for bountiful is he ;
His tender mercy doth endure
unto eternity.

2 God's mighty works who can express?

or show forth all his praise ?

3 Blessed are they that judgment keep,

and justly do always.

4 Kemomber me, Lord, with that love

which thou to thine dost bear :

MEDFIELD. C. M.

With thy salvation, O my God,
to visit me draw near ;

5 That I thy ehosen's good may see,

and in their joy rejoice :
And may with thine inheritance
triumph with cheerful voice.

6 We with our fathers sinned have,

and of iniquity
Too long we have the workers been
we have done wickedly.

7 The wonders great, which thou, 0 Lord,

didst work in Egypt land,
Our fathers, though they saw, yet them

thej' did not understand :
And they thy mercies' multitude

kept not in memory ;
But at the sea, ev'n the Ked sea,

provok'd him grievously.

8 Nevertheless he saved them,

ev'n for his own name's sake :
That so he might to be well-Jmown
his mighty power make.

9 When he the Red sea did rebuke,

then dried up it was :
Thro' depths, as thro' the wilderness,
he safely made them pass.

10 From hands of those that hated them,

he did his people save;
And from the en'my's cruel hand
to them redemption gave.

11 The waters overwhelmed their foes;

not one was left alive.

12 Then they believ'd his word, and praise

to him in songs did give.

13 But soon did they his mighty works

forget un thankfully.
And on his counsel and his will
did not wait patiently ;
14

14 But much did lust in wilderness,

and God in desert tempt.

15 He gave them what thej' sought, but to

their souls he leanness sent.
10 And against Moses in the camp
their envy did appear;
At Aaron they, the saint of God,
envious also were.

17 Therefore the earth did open wide,

and Dathan did devour,

And all Abiram's company

did cover in that hour.

18 Likewise among their company

a fire was kindled then ;
And so the hot consuming (lame
burnt up these wicked men.

19 Upon the hill of Horob they

an idol-calf did frame,
A molten image they did make,
and worshipped the same.

20 And thus their glory, and their God,

most vainly changed they
Into the likeness of an ox
that eateth grass or hay.

21 They did forget the mighty God,

that had their Saviour been.
By whom such great things brotight to
they had in Egypt seen. [pass

In Htim's liind he did wondrous works ;

When he his mighty hand and arm

stretch'd out at the Red sea.
Then said he. He would them destroy,

had not, his wrath to stay.
His chosen INIoses stood in breach,

that them he should not slay.
Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land,

believed not his word:
But in their tents they murmured,

not hoark'ning to the Lord.

BEDFORD. CM.

2G Therefore in desert them to slay
he lifted up his hand ;

27 'Mong nations to o'erthrow their seed,
and scatter in each land.

28 They unto Baal-peor did
themselves associate;

The sacrifices of the dead
they did profanely eat.

29 Thus, b}' their lewd inventions,
they did provoke his ire;

And then upon them suddenly,
the plague brake in as fire.

30 Then Phin'has rose, and justice did,

and so the plague did cease,

31 That to all ages counted was

to him for righteousness.

32 And at the waters, .where they strove,

they did him angry make.

In such sort, that it fared ill

with Moses for their sake :

33 Because they there his spirit meek

provoked bitterly.
So that he utter'd with his lips
words unadvisedly.

34 Nor, as the Lord commanded them,

did they the nations slay.
3-j But with the heathen mingled were,
and learn'd of them their way.

OG And they their idols served, which did
a snare unto them turn.

37 Their sons and daughters they to dev'ls

in sacrifice did burn.

38 In their own children's guiltless blood

their hands they did imbrue,
Whom to Canaan's idols they

for sacrifices slew :
So was the land defll'd with blood.

39 They stain'd with their own way.
And with their own inventions

a whoring they did stray.

40 Against his people kindled was

the*wrath of God therefore.
Insomuch that he did his own
inheritance abhor.

41 He gave them to the heathen's hand ;

their foes did them command.

42 Their en'mies them oppress'd, they wero

made subject to their hand.

43 He many times deliver'd them :

hut with their counsel so
They him provok'd, that for their sin
they were brought very low.

44 Yet their aflliction he beheld,

when he did hear their cry ;

45 And he for them his covenant

did call to memory.
After his mercies' multitude

46 He did repent: and made
Them to be pitied of all those

who did them captive lead.

47 0 Lord our God, us save, and gather

the heathen from among,
That we thy holy name may praise
in a triumphant song.

48 Bless'd be JEHOVAH, Israel's God,

5 The glorious and mighty Lord,

Shall, in his day of wrath, strike through
kings that do him withstand.

6 He shall among the heathen judge,

he shall with bodies dead
The places fill ; o'er many lands
he wound shall ev'ry head.

7 The brook that runneth in the way

with drink shall him supply;
And, for this cause, in triumph ho

His handy works are truth und right ;

all his commands are sure :
And, done in truth and uprightness,

they evermore endure.
He sent redemption to his folk ;

Ho did command: lioly his name

Wisdom's beginning is God's fear :

Have all that his commands fulfil :

his praise endures for aye.

his horn be raised high.

What wicked men do most desire

noses, but savour not :

7 Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;

nor speak they through their throat.

He will the house of Isr'el bless,

1 0 Lord, thou hast me search'd and

2 Tlu>u know'st my sitting down,
And rising up; yea, all my thoughts

afar to thee are known.

3 My footsteps, and my lying down,

thou compassest alwaj's ;
Thou also most entirely art
acquaint with all my ways.

4 For in my tongue, before I speak,

not any word can be,
But altogether, lo, O Lord,
it is well known to thee.

5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,

and laid on me thy hand.

6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,

too high to understand.

7 From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go ?

or from thy presence fly ?

8 Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;

there, if in hell I lie.

9 Take I the morning wings, and dwell,

in utmost parts of sea ; [lead,

10 Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me

thy right hand hold shall me.

me cover from thy sight ;

12 Tea, darkness hideth not from thee,

but night doth shine as day :
To thee the darkness and the light
are both alike alway.

13 For thou possessed hast my reins ;

and thou hast cover'd me,
"When I within my mother's womb
enclosed was by thee.

14 Thee will I praise; for fearfully

and strangely made I am :
Thy works are niarv'llous; and right
my soul doth know the same, [well

15 My substance was not hid from thee,

when as in secret I
"Was made; and in earth's lowest parts
was wrought most curiously.

16 Thine eyes my substance did behold,

yet being unperfect;
And in the volume of thy book

my members all were writ;
"Which after in continuance

were fashion'd ev'ry one,
"When as they yet all shapeless were,

and of them there was none.

IT How precious also are thy thoughts,

0 gracious God, to me !

And in their sum how passing great
and numberless they be!

18 If I should count them, than the sand

they more in number be :
"What time soever I awake,

1 ever am with thee.

19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay :

hence from me bloody men.

20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak,

and take t!iy name in vain.

21 Do not I hate all those, O Lord,

that hatred bear to thee?
"With those that up against thee rise
can I but grieved be ?

22 "With perfect hatred them I hate ;

my foes I them do hold :

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart ;

try me, my thoughts unfold :

24 And see if any wicked way

there be at all in me ;
And in thine everlasting way
to me a leader be.

give me deliverance ;
And do thou safe preserve me from
the man of violence:

2 Who in their heart mischievous things

are meditating ever ;
And they for war assembled are
continually together.

3 Much like unto a serpent's tongue

their tongues they sharp do make;
And underneath their lips there lies
the poison of a snake.

4 Lord, keep me from the wicked's hands,

from vi'lent men me save;
Who utterly to overthrow
my goings purpos'd have.

5 The proud for me a snare have hid

and cords : yea, they a net
Have by the way-side for me spread :
they gins for me have set.

6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art

my God : unto tlie cry
Of all my supplications.
Lord, do tliine ear apply.

lest they themselves should vaunt.

9 As for the head and chief of those

about that compass me,
Ev'n by the mischief of their lips
let thou them cover'd be.

10 Let burning coals upon them fall,

them throw in fiery flame,
And in deep pits, that they no more
may rise out of the same.

11 Let not an evil speaker be

on earth established :
Mischief shall haunt the vi'lent man,

1 0 Lord, I unto thee do cry,

do thou make haste to me.
And give an ear unto my voice,
when I cry unto thee.

2 As incense let my prayer be

directed in thine eyes ;
And the uplifting of my hands
as th' evening sacrifice.

3 Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth ;

keep of my lips the door.

4 My heart incline thou not unto

the ills I should abhor.
To practise wicked works with men

that work iniquity ;
And with their delicates my taste

let me not satisfy.

5 Let him that righteous is me smite,

it shall a kindness be;
Let him reprove, I shall it count

a precious oil to me;
Sucli smiting shall not break my head;

for yet the time shall fall,

When I in their calamities
to God pray for them shall :

6 When as their judges down shall be

in stony places east.
Then shall they hear my words ; for they
shall sweet be to their taste.

7 About the grave's devouring mouth •

our bones are scatter'd round.
As wood which men do cut and cleavj
lies scatter'd on the ground.

8 But unto thee, 0 God the Lord,

mine eyes uplifted be :
My soul do not leave destitute;
My trust is set on thee.

9 Lord, keep me safely from the snares

which they for me prepare :
And from the subtle gins of them

Whilst I do by tliine help escape

Because no living man can be

thirsts, as dry land, for thee.

hide not thy face from me ;

Lest like to them I do become

that go down to the dust.

8 At morn let me thy kindness hoar;

for in thee do I trust.
Teach mo the way that I should walk-
I lift my soul to thee.

9 Lord, free me from my foes ; I flee

to thee to cover me.
Because thou art my God, to do

thy will do me instruct:
Thy Sp'rit is good, me to the land

of uprightness conduct.
11 Revive and quicken me, O Lord,

ev'n for thine own name's sake ;
And do thou, for thy righteousness,

my soul from trouble take.
And of thy mercy slay my foes ;

let all destroyed be
That do afHict my soul : for I
