Preface
The prime distinction of this Psalter is its use of the metrical version of
the Psalms approved September 22d, 1909, by a Joint Committee from
nine Churches of the Presbyterian family in Canada and the United States.
These Churches are as follows: the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Reformed Church in
America, the United Presbyterian Church of North America, the Reformed
Presbyterian Church, Synod, the Reformed Presbyterian Church, General
Synod, the Christian Reformed Church in North America, the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church, and the Associate Presbyterian Church.
There had been a long-felt desire for a version of the Psalms which would
satisfy modem literary standards and be recognized as the mutual property
of the Churches. A movement in this direction was started in 1893, the
General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church then appointing a
Committee to bring the project before the various ecclesiastical bodies.
The outcome was the creation of a Joint Committee in 1895. After being
enlarged, it met in Philadelphia on April 8th, 1897, for organization and the
adoption of a plan of procedure. Though meanwhile there was much prep-
aration on the part of some of its members, the Committee was not con-
vened again until 1900, when on April 20th the first session for actual work
began in New York City, lasting six days. From that date lengthy meetings
were held twice a year until April, 1905, when the Revision wa3 finish«l
and sent to the interested Churches for action thereon. Most of these
Churches commended the progress made, but desired the Joint Committee
to continue its efforts toward a version of still greater excellence. The
Joint Committee, to aid it in this matter, waited for reports from the Com-
mittees representing the Churches, with the criticisms and suggestions they
might convey.
The Committee of the United Presbyterian Church, increased and defi-
nitely instructed by the General Assembly of 1905, set itself very earnestly
to its duty, proposing practically a new metrical translation of the Psalms.
The Committee as now constituted consisted of David A. McClenahan, D.D.,
LL.D., Chairman, David R. Miller, D.D., William E. McCuUoch, D.D.,
John McNaugher, D.D., LL.D., William J. Reid, D.D., and William L
Wishart, D.D. It had the invaluable help of Edward A. Collier, D.D., of
the Reformed Church in America, and of Charles E. Craven, D.D., of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, both of whom had
shown already superior poetic gifts as members of the Joint Committee.
Three years were spent on the undertaking, the Committee meeting weekly,
except during the vacation periods. The Committees of the other Churches
did little in the meantime, being informed of the work that was being prose-
cuted on so large a scale by the United Presbyterian Committee. In April,
1909, proof sheets of the Version were forwarded to the members of the
Joint Committee, who offered emendations and additions, many of which
were accepted. On September 21st, 1909, the Joint Committee gathered
in the All^heny Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, where two days were
Preface
occupied with a review of the Version. With some slight retouching, it
was submitted to the Churches by almost unanimous agreement as the
Joint Committee's final report.
The Version was presented to the General Assembly of the United Pres-
byterian Church at Knoxville, Tennessee, in May, 1909, subject to such
minor changes as might still be made by the Joint Committee. The Gen-
eral Assembly overtured it to the Presbyteries, where an overwhelming vote
in its favor was recorded. In pursuance of this legal approval by the Pres-
byteries, the General Assembly of 1910, meeting in Philadelphia, formally
authorized the Version as The Book of Praise of the United Presbyterian
Church of North America.
In this Version the inspired Psalms have been rendered into choice
English verse, while yet the freshness and strength and sober dignity of
the Hebrew originals have been preserved. Besides the familiar meters, a
number of more recent type have been introduced, permitting an ampler
drawing from the copious stores of church music of the past and present.
The Psalms that are prized most highly have special treatment, there being
two or more renditions of them, differing metrically. In the thought of
many this versification of the Divine Hymnal, because of its merit and its
undenominational character, is destined to* receive broad acceptance and
become historic.
Confidently anticipating the indorsement of the Version by the Church,
the Board of Publication in 1909 appointed an Editorial Committee to pre-
pare a Psalter, and on November 29th of that year the initiative was taken
in a task only now happily concluded. In this new manual of praise the
Psalms are divided into four hundred and thirteen sections. By such par-
titioning many passages of peculiar interest which otherwise would be un-
sung are brought under observation. In every instance the Psalm numeral
and the meter signature are printed prominently. Instead of numbering
the stanzas of a Psalm consecutively through several sections, the stanzas
are counted over again in each, and the continuous order is indicated in
brackets below the music. Supplementing the entire Psalm, there is an
occasional selection of stanzas that frame up into a good unity. Some of
these selections belong to the text of the Version; others have been drafted
by the Editorial Committee. A few choruses, nine in all, are employed.
The headings on every page embody the keynote or leading strain of the
several sections, and are designed to contribute meaning to the service of
song.
In the search for tunes the Committee has made an exhaustive study
of the best collections of congregational music in America and Great Britain.
The tests constantly applied were harmony with the lofty sentiment and
spiritual utterance of the Psalms, genuinely musical quality, promise of
permanence, and popular adaptation. Many of the old Psalm tunes retain
their place, not because of any prescriptive right, but by reason of their
intrinsic value. Seventeen tunes appear for the first time, having been
written especially for this book. Each tune is set but once. This rule
secures a wealth of music, so that this Psalter contains no less than four
hundred and thirty-six tunes, inclusive of twenty-three alternates. A fixed
association between tune and words is also gained thereby. Commonly
marks of expression or speed have been avoided, it being judged better
Preface
that organists and choirs should themselves seek such a musical interpreta-
tion of the Psalms as will be edifying. The Committee was exceedingly
fortunate in obtaining the co-operation, as expert musical editor, of Mr.
Charles N. Boyd, Instructor in Church Music in the Western Theological
Seminary, Pittsburgh. To his skill and painstaking care very much is
owing. The Committee takes this opportunity to thank the composers and
publishers who have granted free permission for the use of copyright mate-
rial.
Together with the ordinary indexes, a topical index, analyzing and
classifying the rich content of the Psalms, has been provided. This sup-
plies a ready reference for both doctrinal and practical themes. The Psalter
has been made more complete as a service book by the insertion of Respon-
sive Readings. It is believed that the growing number of congregations
which have a responsive exercise in their order of worship will welcome this
new feature. To the Responsive Readings are appended two doxologies
and the Apostles' Creed for public repetition.
With this brief preface the book is sent forth upon its sacred mission.
It presents anew the immortal songs of the Holy Spirit, those matchless
hymns of the Bible which have been sung in far-off countries and centuries,
which were chanted by our Lord and His disciples, and which with their
measured language of religious feeling and devotion will abide until the
end. In submitting the results of its labor the Committee expresses the
earnest hope that the Church may be able, more worthily than ever, to
fulfil the injunction: '*Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all
wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.**

2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
His portion and delight,
And meditates upon that law
With gladness day and night.
3 That man is nourished like a tree
Set by the river's side;
Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure.
And thus his works abide.
4 The wicked like the driven chaflE
Are swept from off the land;
They shall not gather with the just.
Nor in the judgment stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well.
Their way to Him is known;
The way of sinners, far from God,
Shall surely be overthrown.

Sore displeased He will reply:

And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain,
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,

All the earth at Thy request

Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear;
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear,
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take.

They stumble and perish because Thou art near;
For Thou hast defended my right and my cause,

Their memory perished, their dwelling-place void;
Enthroned and eternal, Jehovah shall reign.
The peoples to judge and the right to maintain.

All trust Thee who know Thee, and trusting are blest;
For never, O Lord, did Thy mercy forsake

Of Him to Whom justice and vengeance belong,
Who visits the lowly and overthrows wrong.

And back from death's portals restore me, O Lord,
That I in the gates of Thy Zion may raise
My song of salvatiop and show forth Thy praise.
7 The sins of the nations their ruin have wrought,
Their own evildoing destruction has brought;
Li this the Lord's justice eternally stands,
That sinners are snared in the work of their hands.
8 The wicked shall perish, the nations shall fall,
Forgetting their God, Who is God over all;
But God will remember the prayer of the weak,
Most surely fulfilling the hope of the meek.
9 Arise in Thy justice, O Lord, and Thy might.
No longer let sinners prevail in Thy sight;
Great Judge of the nations, in judgment appear
To humble the proud and to teach them Thy fear.

2 Come, O Lord, my soul deliver,
In Thy loving-kindness save.
Shall the dead Thy Name remember ?
Who shall praise Thee in the grave ?
3 Pity, Lord, my sad condition;
I am weary and distressed;
Many adversaries vex me.
Weeping, I can find no rest.
4 Now the foes that seek to harm me,
Quickly put to shame, shall flee.
For the Lord hath heard my weeping.
And He will regard my plea.

2 My prayer to God shall still be raised
When troubles thick around me close;
The Lord, most worthy to be praised,
Will rescue me from all my foes.
3 When, floods of evil raging near,
Down nigh to death my soul was
brought,
I cried to God in all my fear;
He heard and great deliverance
wrought.
4 He came: the earth's foimdations
quake,
The hills are shaken from their place,
Thick smoke and fire devouring break
In anger dread before His face.
5 Descending through the bending skies,
With gloom and darkness imder
Him,
Forth through the storm Jehovah flies
As on the wings of cherubim.
6 Thick darkness hides Him from the
view, [veil,
And swelling clouds His presence
Until His glorious light breaks through
In lightning flash and glistening hsul.
7 Jehovah's thimders fill the heaven,
The dreadful voice of God Most
High; [riven,
With shafts of light the clouds are
His foes, dismayed, in terror fly.
8 The raging torrents overflow.
And sweep the world's foundations
bare,
Because Thy blasts of anger blow,
O Lord of earth and sea and air.
9 He took me from the whelming waves
Of bitter hate and sore distress;
The Lord, my stay and helper, saves,
Though mighty foes around me
press.
ID From direful straits He set me free.
He saved the man of His delight;
For good the Lord rewarded me.
Because I kept His ways aright*

2 A kingly crown Thou givest Him,
Thy blessings meet Him on His ways;
He asked for Ufe, and imto Him
Thou gavest endless length of days.
3 With majesty and honor crowned,
How great His glory in Thy grace I
Forever blest, Thou makest Him
With joy to live before Thy face.

His loving-kindness He hath proved;
Confiding in the Lord Most High
He standeth evermore unmoved.

2 But Thou art holy in Thy ways,
Enthroned upon Thy people's praise;
Our fathers put their trust in Thee,
Believed, and Thou didst set them free.
3 They cried,and, trusting in Thy Name,
Were saved, and were not put to
shame;
But in the dust My honor lies.
While all reproach and all despise.
4 My words a cause for scorn they make.
The lip they curl, the head they shake,
And, mocking, bid Me trust the Lord
Till He salvation shall afford.
5 My trust on Thee I learned to rest
When I was on My mother's breast;
From birth Thou art My God alone,
Thy care My life has ever known.
7 Unnumbered foes would do Me wrong,
They press about Me, fierce and
strong.
Like beasts of prey theirrage they vent.
My courage fails. My strength is spent.
8 Down imto death Thou leadest Me,
Consumed by thirst and agony;
With cruel hate ancj anger fierce
My helpless hands and feet they
pierce.
9 While on My wasted form they stare,
The garments torn from Me they share,
My shame and sorrow heeding not,
And for My robe they cast the lot.
lo O Lord, afar no longer stay;
Thou My helper, haste, I pray;
From death and evil set Me free;
1 live, for Thou didst answer Me.
6 O let Thy strength and presence cheer, ii I live and will declare Thy fame
For trouble and distress are near; Where brethren gather in Thy Name;
Be Thou not far away from Me, Where aU Thy faithful people meet,
I have no soxurce of help but Thee. I will Thy worthy praise repeat.

Who unto Km for succor turned;
From him He has not hid His face,
But answered his request in grace.
3 O Lord, Thy goodness makes me
raise
Amid Thy people songs of praise;
Before all them that fear Thee, now
I worship Thee and pay my vow.
4 For all the meek Thou wilt provide,
They shall be fed and satisfied;
All they that seek the Lord shall live
And never-ending praises give.
5 The ends of all the earth shall hear
And turn unto the Lord in fear;

The Lord will not despise;
He has not turned from those that
mourn,
He hearkens to their cries.
His goodness makes me join the throng
Where saints His praise proclaim,
And there will I fulfil my vows

And satisfies the meek,
And they shall live and praise the

2 O search me, Lord, and prove me now;
Thy mercy I adore;
I choose Thy truth to be my guide,
And sinful ways abhor.
3 My hands I wash in innocence
And seek Thy altar, Lord,
That there I may with thankful voice
Thy wondrous works record.
4 The liabitation of Thy house
Is ever my delight; pLord,
The place where dwells Thy glory,
Is lovely in my sight.
5 Let not the judgment fall on me
For evil men decreed,
For cruel men and violent.
Inspired by bribes and greed.
6 But I in my integrity
Will humbly walk with Thee;
O my Redeemer and my Lord,
Be merciful to me.
7 Redeemed by Thee, I stand secure
In peace and happiness;
And in the Church, among Thy saints,
Jehovah I will bless.

To make my life their prey,
They stumbled in their shame
And fell in sore dismay;
Though hosts make war on every side,
Still fearless I in God confide.
3 My one request has been,
And still this prayer I raise,
That I may dwell within
God's house through all my days,
Jehovah's beauty to admire,
And in His temple to inquire.

Uplifted on a rock
Above my foes aroimd.
Amid the battle shock
My song shall still resound;
Then joyful offerings I will bring,

Rolls over the waters, the thunders awake;
The voice of Jehovah, majestic and mighty,
Is heard, and the cedars of Lebanon break.

Wild beasts are affrighted, the forests laid bare.
And through all creation, His wonderful temple,
All things He has fashioned His glory declare.

A King Whose dominion is never to cease;
The Lord will give blessing and strength to His people.

2 His holy Name remember,
Ye saints, Jehovah praise;
His anger lasts a moment.
His favor all our days;
For sorrow, like a pilgrim,
May tarry for a night,
But joy the heart will gladden
\^en dawns the morning light
3 In prosperous days I boasted,
Unmoved I shall remain.
For, Lord, by Thy good favor
My cause Thou didst maintain;
I soon was sorely troubled.
For Thou didst hide Thy face;
I cried to Thee, Jehovah,
I sought Jehovah's grace.
4 What profit if I perish.
If life Thou dost not q>are ?
Shall dust repeat Thy praises.
Shall it Thy truth declare ?
O Lord, on me have mercy.
And my petition hear;
That Thou mayst be my helper.
In mercy, Lord, appear.
5 My grief is turned to gladness.
To Thee my thanks I raise.
Who hast removed my sorrow
And girded me with praise;
And now, no longer silent.
My heart Thy praise will sing;
O Lord, my God, forever
My thanks to Thee I bring.

From all temptation rescue me,

And send my soul relief;
My life is spent with bitterness.
My strength consumed with grief.

Friends turn in dread away;
Reproached am I and terrified,
While foes conspire to slay.

Thou art my God, I cried;
My life,- my times are in Thy hand,

Thy gracious help I crave;
O smile upon Thy servant. Lord,
And in Thy mercy save.

But let the wicked be ashamed.

Who words of falsehood seek.

And from my fears He set me free.

With joy their faces shall be bright.
Distressed, they cried; the Lord arose
And saved them out of all their woes.

Encamps the angd of the Lord;
That God is good, O taste and see,
Who trusts in Him shall blessed be.

Who seek long life and happy days
Must learn to walk in wisdom's ways.

To contrite spirits help imparts. Their condemnation shall be great.

But God will bring them safe through
From harmful stroke He will defend,
And sure and full deliverance send.
5 The Lord redemption will provide
For all who in His grace confide;
From condenmation they are clear
Who trust in Him with holy fear.

Who seek my ruin and disgrace;

Without a cause their plots they laid;

And be my crafty foes dismayed.

God Our Advocate and Judge
3 My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,
Defender of the poor and meek?
The needy Thy salvation see
When mighty foes their ruin seek.
4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood
And told of crimes beyond belief;
Returning evil for my good.
They overwhelm my soul with grief.
When in affliction they were sad,
I wept and made their grief my own;
But in my trouble they are glad
And strive that I may be o'erthrown.
5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?
My soul for Thy salvation waits;
My thankfulness I will display
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.
Let not my enemies rejoice
And wrongfully exult o'er me;
They speak not peace, but lift their voice
To trouble those that peaceful be.
6 My foes with joy my woes survey.
But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;
O be no longer far away.
Nor silent when on Thee I call.
O haste to my deliverance now,
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;
My Lord and God alone art Thou;
Awake, and make Thy justice plain.
7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee.
Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;
Let not my foes exult o'er me
And laugh with joy at my dismay.
With shame and trouble those requite
Who would my righteous cause destroy;
But those who in the good delight,
Let them be glad and shout for joy.
8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified,
Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;
And I, from mom till eventide,
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.
My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.

6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for ?
I have no hope except in Thee;
Let not ungodly men reproach,
From all transgression set me free.
7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb,
I spoke no word of rash complaint;
Remove Thy stroke away from me,
Beneath Thy chastisement I faint
8 When Thou for his iniquity
Rebukest and correctest man,
His beauty is consiuned away.
How weak his strength, how vain
his plan.
5 Man's life is passed in vain desire 9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry.
If troubled years be spent for gain; I weep, be Thou my comforter;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be, I am a stranger here below.
And all his toil is but in vain. A pilgrim as my fathers were.

Deal gently with me, I implore,
That I may yet recover strength
E'er I go hence and be no more.

The while I mused the fire increased.

Teach me the measure of my days.
That I may know how frail I am
And turn from pride and sinful ways.

Yea, truly at his best estate,

With burning thoughts suppressed; My days are but a span;
My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire To Thee my years appear as nought,

2 Far from the courts of God, my tears
Have been my food by night and
day,
While constantly with bitter sneers,
Where is thy God, the scoffers say.
3 With grief I think of days gone by,
When oft I trod the hallowed way
To Zion, praising God on high
With throngs who kept the holy day.
4 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou
be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol.
Who gives His saving help to me.
5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed,
In exile far, with bitter grief,
I turn my thoughts to Thy abode
For consolation and relief.
6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep,
While raging storms Thy judg-
ments tell;
The angry billows o'er me leap,
The waves of sorrow near me swell.
7 Though troubles surge, yet through
the day
The Lord His gracious help will give.
And in the night my heart shall pray
And sing to Him in Whom I live.
8 To God my Rock I cry and say,
why hast Thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning on my way,
expressed by foes that know not
Thee?
9 With anguish as from piercing sword
Reproach of bitter foes I hear.
While day by day, with taunting word
Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer
lo O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me.

2 Like sheep to the slaughter Thy people are given.
Dispersed through the nations afar we are driven;
Thou sellest Thy people to strangers for naught,
Their price to Thy treasure no increase has brought.
3 Thou makest our neighbors reproach us in pride,
And those that are near us to scoff and deride;
A by-word the nations have made of our name,
With scorn and derision they put us to shame.
4 Yea, all the day long I behold my disgrace,
And covered am I with confusion of face;
The voice of blasphemers and scoffers I hear,
The foe and avenger against me appear.
5 All this have we suffered, and never forgot
To serve Thee, Jehovah, nor falsely have wrought;
Our heart is not turned and our steps have not strayed.
Though crushed amid ruins and under death's shade.

2 We all the day long for Thy sake are consumed,
Defeated and helpless, to death we are doomed;
Then why dost Thou tarry? Jehovah, awake.
Nor spurn us forever; arise for our sake.

Forgetting our burden of grief and disgrace?
Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust;
Rise, help, and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust

3 Why should I to fear give way
When I see the evil day,
When with wickedness my foes
Shall surround me and oppose?
4 They that trust in treasured gold,
Though they boast of wealth imtold,
None can bid his brother live,
None to God a ransom give.
5 If from death one would be free
And corruption never see.
Costly is life's ransom price,
Far beyond all sacrifice.

The Issues of Life
Watchman
Lowell Mason
I Dust to dust, the mor-tal dies, Both the fool-ish and the wise ; None for-ev - er can re-maun.
Each must leave his hoard-ed gain. Yet with- in their heart they say That their hous- es
iDiii i ' JJJJ
are for aye, That their dwell -ing pla-ces grand Shall for gen - er - a -lions stand.
H f t f: i
2 To their lands they give their name
In the hope of lasting fame,
But man's honor quickly flies,
Like the lowly beast he dies.
Though such folly mark their way,
Men approve of what tbey say;
Death their shepherd, they the sheep
He within his fold will keep.
[ Stanias 6-13 ]
3 O'er them soon shall rule the just,
All their beauty turn to dust; '
God my waiting soul shall save,
He will raise me from the grave.
Let no fear disturb your peace
Though one's house and wealth in-
crease;
Death shall end his fleeting day,
He shall carry naught away.
4 Though in life he wealth attained,
Though the praise of men he gained.
He shall join those gone before,
Where the light shall shine no more.
Crowned with honor though he be,
Highly gifted, strong and free,
If he be not truly wise,
Man is like the beast that dies.

-J
H^^H^
From beau-teous Zi
on God shines forth, He comes and will not si - lent be;
De- vour - ing flame be - fore Him goes, And dark the tem-pest round Him grows.
2 He calls aloud to heaven and earth
That He may justly judge His own;
My chosen saints togetiier bring
Who sacrifice to Me alone;
The heavens His righteousness
declare,
For God Himself as Judge is there.
3 Hear, O my people, I will speak,
Against thee I will testify;
Give ear to Me, O Israel,
For God, thy covenant God, am I;
I do not spurn thy sacrifice.
Thy offerings are before My eyes.
4 I will receive from out thy fold
No offering for My holy shrine;
The cattle on a thousand hills
And all the forest beasts are Mine;
Each mountain bird to Me is
known.
Whatever roams the field I own.
5 Behold, if I should hungry grow,
I would not tell My need to thee,
For'all the world itself is Mine,
And all its wealth belongs to Me;
Why should I aught of thee re-
ceive.
My thirst or himger to relieve?
6 Bring thou to God the gift of thanks,
And pay thy vows to God Most High;
Call ye upon My holy Name
In days when sore distress is nigh;
Deliverance I will send to thee,
And praises thou shalt give to Me.

Ye glory in your brother's shame.
Your mother's son do ye defame.
3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept,
And this has been your secret thought,
That I was wholly as yourselves.
To take your evil deeds as nought;
I will reprove you and array
Your deeds before your eyes this day.
4 Consider this, who God forget.
Lest I destroy with none to free;
Who offers sacrifice of thanks,

To him who orders well his way

2 From Zion His abode,
Where perfect beauty dwells,
The Lord His glory has displayed
In brightness that excels.
3 Our God shall surely come,
Nor silence shall He keep;
Devouring fire shall herald Him,
About Him storms shall sweep.
4 Then to the heavens above
He from His throne shall call,
The earth His kingly voice shall hear,
He is the Judge of all.
5 Let all My chosen saints
Before Me gathered be.
Those that by sacrifice have sealed
Their promise unto Me.
6 Then shall the heavens declare
His righteousness abroad,
Because the Lord Himself is Judge,
Yea, none is Judge but God.

Will ever hope in Thy good Name.

To see if any imderstood,

There is not one that doeth good.

Will they no knowledge gain.
Who feed upon my people's woes,
And prayer to God disdain?
5 The day is drawing nigh
When they shall fear and quail,
For God shall scatter and destroy

And make them flee away,
For He will cast them off in wrath
And fill them with dismay.

In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
6 Lord, their malice recompense,
Their wicked tongues confound.
For in the dty violence
And bitter strife abound.
7 They walk her walls both night and
day,
Within all vices meet; [sway.
Oppression, fraud, and crime hold
Nor leave the crowded street.

But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
^d recompense their sin.

2 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait;
Shall they by wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness.
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are they not in Thy book.
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know.
That God is still for me.
5 In God, the Lord, I rest.
His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear.
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
6 Upon me are Thy vows,
O God, in Whom I live;
The sacrifice of praise
To Thee I now will give;
For Thou hast saved from death.
From falling kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee.

A bitter cup Thou givest us
Of misery and dread.

And from their foes set free.

Grow arrogant and bold;
Conspiring secretly they think
That God will not behold;
They search out more iniquity,
Their thoughts and plans are deep,
But God will smite, for He is near
His saints to guard and keep.
3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome,
Shall soon be brought to shame;
The hand of God shall yet appear,
And all shall fear His Name.

And utters forth His voice of might.

His might transcendent fills the sky;
His glory and omnipotence
Remain His people's sure defense.

Thy people's strength is all from Thee;

Our heavy burden bears,
The God of our salvation
Who for His people cares.
Our God is near to help us,
Our God is strong to save;
The Lord alone is able
To ransom from the grave.

2 My constant calling wearies me,
My throat is paiched and dried;
My eyes grow cUm while for my God
Still waiting I abide.
3 The foes who hate me unprovoked
Are strong and still increase,
Though to disarm their enmity
My right I yield for peace.
4 O God, my folly and my sin
Thy holy eye can see;
Yet save from shame. Lord God of Hosts,
Thy saints that wait on Thee.
5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God,
That those who seek Thy face
Should see Thy servant put to shame
And share in my disgrace.
6 It is for Thee I am reproached.
For Thee I suffer shame,
Until my brethren know me not.
And hated is my name.
7 It is my zeal for Thy abode
That has consumed my life;
Reproached by those reproaching Thee,
I suffer in the strife.
8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul,
Yet that was made my shame;
When I in sackcloth clothed myself,
Their byword I became.
9 The men who sit within the gate
With slander do me wrong,
And they who linger at their cups
Make me their jest and song.

6 My heart is broken by reproach,
My soul is full of grief;
I looked in vain for comforters.
For pity and relief.
7 They gave me bitter gall for food,
And taunting words they spake;
They gave me vinegar to drink,
My burning thirst to slake.
8 Their peace and plenty be their snare,
In blindness let them grope;
Thy indignation on them pour,
And desolate their hope.
9 Because they proudly persecute
Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite,
Let them be blotted from Thy book
And banished from Thy sight.
2 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray.
From tides of hatred save;
Let not the waters overflow,
Redeem me from the grave.
3 Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good,
O answer me in grace,
And in the riches of Thy love
O turn to me Thy face.
4 Hide not Thy face from my distress,
A speedy answer send;
Draw near to me, my soul redeem.
From all my foes defend.
5 Well known to Thee is my reproach,
My shame and my disgrace;
The adversaries of my soul
Are all before Thy face.

And this shall please Jehovah more For Zion God will surely save,
Than offered sacrifice. Her broken walls will raise.

Ye saints, no more be sad;
For lo, Jehovah hears the poor

Let Thy salvation set my soul on high;
Then I will sing and praise Thy holy Name,

Your heart shall live, ye saints that seek the Lord;
He helps the needy and regards their cries.

And He shall rule alone.

His rule all nations haU;
He will regard the poor man's cry
When other helpers fail.
3 The kings shall come from distant
lands 5 The poor and needy He shall spare.
And islands of the sea; And save their souls from fear;
Oblations they shall bring to Him He shall redeem them from all wrong,
And wait on bended knee. Their life to Him is dear.
6 So they shall live, and bring to Him
Their gifts of finest gold;
For Him shall constant prayer be made,
His praise each day be told.

3 The wicked are prospered and firm in their strength,
No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length;
They are not in trouble as other men are,
The plagues of their fellows they view from afar.

With wealth more abimdant than heart could expect.

A Vindication of God's Ways
4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain
The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain;
They question God's knowledge and boldly defy
The might and the justice of God the Most High.
5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort ^d peace,
While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase.
And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain,
That dean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain.
6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled,
The end of life's journey I clearly beheld;
I saw in what peril ungodly men stand
With sudden destruction and ruin at hand.
7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream.
So God will despise them, though great they may seem;
My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought.
Because I was faithless, and foolish my thou^t.

205 The Church in Trial
PSALM 74 C. M. Cowpsr
Lowell Maaon
art Thou an • gry with Thy sheep, The sheep of Thy own fold* The sheep of Thy own fold?
>AffppinfMP^
2 Remember Thy inheritance,
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;
Remember Zion's mount profaned,
Thy ancient dwelling-place.
3 In ruin long Thy temple lies;
Arise, O God of grace,
And see the ruin foes have wrought
Within Thy holy place.
4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high
The standards of the foe,
And impious hands with axe and fire
Have laid Thy temple low.
5 They have profaned the holy place
Where Thou hast set Thy Name,
Tlie sanctuaries of our God
Are given to the flame.
6 We see no signs of power divine.
No prophet speaks for Thee,
And none can tell, and none can know.
How long these woes shall be.
7 How long, God, shall blasphemy
And shame reproach our land ?
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes
With Thy ahnighty hand ?
8 O God, Thou art our King of old,
Salvation Thou hast wrought;
In safety through the mighty sea
Our fathers Thou hast brou^t.
9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man.
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran.
ID The day is Thine, and Thine the
night,
And Thine the shining sun; [set
At Thy command earth's bounds are
And changing seasons run.
11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord,
Against Thee proudly speak;
Preserve Thy saints from wickedmen,
Be mindful of the meek.
12 Fulfil, Lord, Thy covenant,
Our strong protector be.
For in the earth are dark abodes
Of crime and cruelty.
13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame.
No longer in Thy sight
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
Lord, vindicate the right.

With Thy trophies from the fray;
Thou hast slain the valiant-hearted,
Wrapt in sleep of death are they;
When Thy anger once is risen,
Who can stand in that dread day ?
3 When from heaven Thy sentence
sounded,
All the earth in fear was still,
While to save the meek and lowly
God in judgment wrought His will;
Even the wrath of man shall prabe
Thy designs it shall fulfil. [ Thee,
4 Vow and pay ye to Jehovah,
Him your God forever own;
All men, bring your gifts before Him,
Worship Hun, and Him alone;
Mighty kings obey and fear Him,
Princes bow before His throne.

To Him Whom all the world should fear;

2 In long-continued grief I stand
And seek the Lord with outstretched
hand;
I find no comfort for my soul,
The clouds of darkness o'er me roll.
3 I think of God and call to mind
His goodness, yet no peace I find;
I still pour out my sad complaints,
My burdened spirit almost faints.
4 With sleepless eyes and speechkss
grief
I search the past to find relief,
The former years when days were
bright
And songs of gladness cheered my
night.
5 My constant meditations bring
My heart to anxious questioning:
Has God cast off, and will He be
No longer merciful to me?
6 Has God forgotten to be kind?
Shall I His promise faithless find?
For me shall wrath henceforth replace
His tender mercies and His grace?

In weakness I was pressed with fear,
But better hopes my ^irit cheer;
Past mercies lead me to rely
Upon the help of God Most Hi^
Thy deeds, Lord, will I relate
And on Thy wonders meditate;
Thy way, O God, is just and right,
And none is like to Thee in might.
Among the nations Thou hast shown
Thy wondrous power and made it
known;
Thou art the God that mightily
Redeemed and set Thy people free.
At sight of Thee the waters fled.
The quaking clouds their torrents
shed.
The lightnings flashed, the thunder
pealed,
The trembling earth her fear revealed.
Thy way, God, was in the sea,
But, though Thy paths mysterious
be.
Thy people Thou didst safely keep
As shepherds lead their helpless sheep.

2 The thought of God brought me no

But rather made my fears increase;
With sleepless eyes and speechless pain
My fainting spirit grieved in vain;
The blessedness of long ago
Made deeper still my present woe.
3 Recalling days when faith was bright,
When songs of gladness filled my
night,
I pondered o'er my grievous woes
And searching questioning arose:
Will God cast o£F, and nevennore
His favor to my soul restore ?
4 I asked in fear and bitterness,
Will God forsake me in distress ?
Shall I His promise faithless find ?
Has God forgotten to be kind ?
Has He in anger hopelessly
Removed His love and grace from me?
5 These doubts and fears that troubled
me
Were bom of my infirmity;
Though I am weak, God is most high,
And on His goodness I rely;
Of all His wonders I will teU,
And on His deeds my thoughts shall

2 Instructing our sons we gladly record
The praises, the works, the might of the Lord,
For He hath commanded that what He hath done
Be passed in tradition from father to son.
3 Let children thus learn from history's light
To hope in our God and walk in His sight.
The God of their fathers to fear and obey.
And ne'er like their fathers to turn from His way.
4 The story be told, to warn and restrain.
Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain.
Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near.
Who kept not God's covenant nor walked in His fear.
5 God's wonderful works to them He had shown,
His marvelous deeds their fathers had known;
He made for their pathway the waters divide,
His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide.
6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst.
And forth from the rock caused water to burst;
Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said.
Can He Who gave water supply us with bread?
i8o
Lessons from the Past
7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot
To hope in their God, and trusted I£m not;
Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky
And rained down tlie manna in richest supply.
•
8 With bread from on high their need He supplied,
And more did He do when thankless they sighed;
The strong winds commanding from south and from east,
He sent them abimdance of quail for their feast
9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose.
Till God in His wrath o'erwhelmed them with woes;
He slew of their strongest and smote their young men,
But still unbelieving they sinned even then.
ID Because of their sin He smote with His rod.
And then they returned and sought for their God;
Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High,
Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie.
II Not right with their God in heart and in will,
They faithlessly broke His covenant still;
But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay,
Forgave them and oft turned His anger away.
12 His pity was great, though often they sinned,
For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind;
Yet though His compassion and grace they beheld,
Th^ tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled.
13 They limited God, the Most Holy One,
And hindered the work His grace had begun;
The hand that was mighty to save they forgot,
The day of redemption remembering not
14 Ungrateful and blind, no longer they thought
Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought,
Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red,
And plagues in God's anger were heaped on their head.
15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain.
In Egypt's abodes the first-bom were slain,
And how all God's people were led forth like sheep,
The flock He delighted in safety to keep.

2 Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe,
He caused them with ease and safety to go;
His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought
To dwcdl in the moimtain the Lord's hand had bought
3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair;
The nations that dwelt in wickedness diere
He drove out before them with great overthrow,
. And gave to His people the tents of the foe.
4 Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord,
Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred,
And God in His anger withdrew from them then,
No longer delighting to dwell among men.
5 He gave them to death in battle, although
His glory and strength were scorned by the foe;
Their young men were fallen, their maidens imwed.
Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead.

Reminders from Israel's History
6 Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might
Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight;
Again to His people His favor He showed.
And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode.
7 His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep.
From tending his flock, the people to keep;
So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might
Protected and fed them and led them aright.

And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share;
The nations round us mock with scornful jeers.
O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore;

3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egjrpt's land;
The nations were thrust out to give it room;
It took deep root, it spread on every hand.
The hills were covered with its shade and bloom;
Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide;
They reached the sea, its roots the riverside.
4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
Tliat they may pluck who pass along the way?
Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all
And feed upon Thy vine by night and day.
O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine
Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand.
The branch Thou n^est strong and owned it Thine,
For it is burned with fire, no more to stand;
Thy people perish in Thy anger sore
Because lliy face now shines on them no more.

2 Let the trumpet, far resounding,
This our festal day proclaim.
By our fathers' God appointed.
When from bondage Israel came.
3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens,
When thou calledst, set thee free,
Proved thee in the thirsty desert,
In the thunder answered thee.
4 O My people, hear My pleadings;
that thou wouldst hearken now;
No strange worship shalt thou oflFer,
Nor to idols shalt thou bow.
5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee,
And from cruel bondage freed;
Open wide thy mouth of longing;
1 will satisfy thy need.
6 But My people would not hearken,
Yea, they would not yield to Me;
So I left them in their blin^jhiess,
Their own counselors to be.
7 If My people would obey Me,
Gladly walking in My ways,
Soon would I, their foes subduing,
Fill their lips with songs of praise.
8 All the haters of Jehovah
Shall His clemency implore,
And the days of those that love Him
Shall endure for evermore.
9 Yea, with wheat the very finest
I their himger will supply,
Bid the very rocks yield honey
That shall fully satisfy.

3 The Most High God has called you
And set you up on high,
But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, O God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Through all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth.
Copyright, X901, by United Presbyterian Board of Publicatioa
2 Do justice for the helpless,
The orphan's cause maintain.
Defend the poor and needy,
Oppressed and wronged for gain.
When rulers walk in darkness,
When judges truth forsake,
The comer-stones are crumbled,
The firm foundations shake.

Will grace and glory surely give;
No good will He withhold from one
Who in His sight shall rightly live;
O Lord of Hosts, most blest is he
Who puts his steadfast trust in Thee.

Now law and peace are reconciled;

For He has faithfid covenant made,

4 The heavens shall join in glad accord
To praise Thy wondrous works,0 Lord;

Where holy ones assembled stand.
5 Who in the heavenly dwellings fair
Can with the Lord Himself compare ?
Or who among the mighty shares
The likeness that Jehovah bears ?
6 With fear and reverence at His feet
God's holy ones in council meet;
Yea, more than all about His tJirone
Must He be feared, and He alone.
7 O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts,
What mighty one Thy likeness boasts?
In all Thy works and vast designs
Thy faithSfidness forever shines.
8 The swelling sea obeys Thy will,
Its angry waves Thy voice can still;
Thy mighty enemies are slain.
Thy foes resist Thy power in vain.

My servant's race shall still endure;
His throne forever firm shall stay
When sun and moon have passed
away.
10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured
As if Thy covenant were abhorred;
Thou hast profaned his kingly crown.
His matchless strength is broken
down.
1 1 He is reproached and spoiled of all.
His enemies upon him fall;
His beauty is consumed away.
Forgotten is his kingly sway.
13 Cut off in youth, his sacred name
• Is covered now with deepest shame;
How long,0 Lord, shall wrath abide?
Thy face forever wilt Thou hide?
13 Think on my life; O Lord, take
thought;
Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to
save [grave?
His soul from death, and from the
14 Where are Thy mercies which of old
Were in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thy own anointed's
name.
15 Blest be the Lord for evermore,[yore.
Whose promise stands from days of
His word is faithful now as then;
Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered e'er the close of day.
3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish.
Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye;
All our days are passed in anguish,
In Thy wrath we pine and die.
Threescore years and ten we tarry.
Fourscore years the strong may
stay.
Long the load of grief to carry.
Till at last we fly away.
4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure,
Who can fear Thee as he ought?
Teach us now our days to measure
And to wisdom turn our thought.
Lord, return, regard our sadness.
With Thy servants now abide;
Fill our days with joy and gladness,
With Thy mercy satisfied.
5 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain.

2 At Thy command man fades and dies
And newborn generations rise;
A thousand years are passed away,
And all to Thee are but a day;
Yea, like the watches of the night.
With Thee the ages wing their flight.
3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath
Before the swelling tide of death;
like transient sleep his seasons pass,
His life is like the tender grass,
Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun.
And withered e'er the day is done.
4 Man in Thy anger is consumed.
And unto grief and sorrow doomed;
Before Thy clear and searching sight
Our secret sins are brought to light;
Beneath Thy vrrath we pine and die,
Our life expiring like a sigh.
5 For threescore years and ten we wait,
Or fourscore years if strength be
great;
But grief and toil attend life's day.
And soon our spirits fly away;
O who with true and reverent
thought
Can fear Thy anger as he ought?

2 O Lord, with joy my heart expands
Before the wonders of Thy hands;
Great works, Jehovah, Thou hast
wrought,
Exceeding deep Thy every thought;
A foolish man knows not their
worth.
Nor he whose mmd is of the earth.
3 When as the grass the wicked grow,
When sinners flourish here below,
Then is there endless ruin nigh, [high;
But Thou, O Lord, art throned on
Thy foes shall fall before Thy might.
The wicked shall be put to flight.
4 Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me
With royal strength and dignity;
With Thy anomting I am blest,
Thy grace and favor on me rest;
I thus exult o'er all my foes,
O'er all that would my cause op-
pose.
The righteous man shall flourish well.
And in the house of God shall dwell;
He shall be like a goodly tree.
And all his life shall fruitful be;
For righteous is the Lord and just.
He is my Rock, in Him I trust.

3 The widow and the fatherless
They slay, and helpless strangers smite;
The faithful God they do not fear,
They say the Lord will not requite.
4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men;
Shall not He see Who formed the eye?
Shall not He hear Who formed the ear,
And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High?
5 The Lord will judge in righteousness.
From Him all truth and knowledge flow;
The foolish thoughts of wicked men,
How vain they are the Lord doth know.
6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord,
With chastening hand dost teach Thy will,
For in the day when sinners fall
That man in peace abideth still.
7 The Lord will not cast off His own,
Nor His inheritance forsake;
Just judgment shall at length prevail.
And upright hearts- shall courage take.
8 Who will arise for my defense
Against the wicked in the land?
Against iniquity and wrong
What man for me will valiant stand?
9 Unless the Lord had been my help.
My life had quickly passed away;
But when my foot had almost slipped,
O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay.
10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind
Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness, though throned in might,
Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee?
11 The wicked, in their might arrayed.
Against the righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I flee for help.
He is my refuge and my tower.
12 Our God, the refuge of His saints.
Will fight against iniquity;
Avenger of the innocent
The Lord omnipotent will be.

As did your fathers, nor depart
From God to follow in their ways;
For with complaints instead of praise,
With doubt instead of faith confessed,
They put His mercy to the test.

As did your fathers, who forgot,
With erring heart, God's holy ways
And grieved Him all their sinful days;
To whom in wrath Jehovah sware.
My promised rest they shall not share.

And compassion for distress,
Slow to anger and abundant
In His grace and tenderness.
He will not be angry alway,
Nor will He forever chide;
Though we oft have sinned against Him,
Still His love and grace abide.
4 As the heavens are high above us,
Great His love to us has proved;
Far as east from west is distant,
He has all our sins removed.
As a father loves his children.
Feeling pity for their woes.
So the Lord to those who fear Him
Mercy and compassion shows.

Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him,
Boundless and endless as the heavens above.
3 His love is like a father's to his children,
Tender and kind to all who fear His Name,
For well He knows our weakness and our frailty,
He knows that we are dust. He knows our frame.
4 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty,
Like tender grass that soon will disappear;
But evermore the love of God is changeless,
Still shown to those who look to Him in fear.

Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him,
Boundless and endless as the heavens above.
3 His love is like a father's to his children,
Tender and kind to all who fear His Name,
For well He knows our weakness and our frailty,
He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame.

The Wonders of Divine Grace
4 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty,
Like tender grass that soon will disappear;
But evermore die love of God is changeless,
Still shown to those who look to Him in fear.
5 High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever,
His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole;
Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion.
Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul.

jes - tic His state ; The light is His gar- ment, the skies are His shade,
2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm,
The lightning and wind His mission perfonn;
The earth He has founded her station to keep,
And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep.
3 O'er moimtain and plain the dark waters raged;
His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged;
Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound.
Forbidding the waters to cover the ground.
4 He causes the springs of water to flow
In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below;
Beside them with singing the birds greet the day.
And there the beasts gather their thirst to allay.

2 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed,
And over the earth their branches are spread;
They keep in their shelter the birds of the air,
The life of each creature the Lord makes His care.
3 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,
The slow changing moon shows forth God's design;
The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor dela}rs.
4 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair.
The lions creep forth, God's boimty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.
5 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!
The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro.
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.
6 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;
Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they rettun.

289 The Unfailing Faithfulness of God
PSALM 105 C. M. BOARDMAN Arranged from L. Devereux

I O praise the Lord, His deeds make known, And call up - on His Name;
2 Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord, 4 The Lord our God is God alone.
His holy Name adore;
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength,
Seek Him for evermore.
3 Ye children of God's covenant.
Who of His grace have heard.
Forget not all His wondrous deeds
And judgments of His word.
All lands His judgments know;
His promise He remembers still,
While generations go.
S While yet our fathers were but few,
Sojourners in the land.
He sware that Canaan shouldbetheirs.
And made His covenant stand.
250
The Unfailing Faithfulness of God
6 He suffered none to do them wrong
In all their pilgrim way; [proved
Yea, for their sake were kings re-
And covered with dismay.
7 His stem command restrained their
foes
And filled them with alarm:
Touch not My own anointed ones,
Nor do My prophets harm.
8 He wholly broke the staff of bread
And called for famine sore,
And He prepared His people^s way
By sending one before.
9 Then Joseph, sold to slavery,
With cruel chains was bound;
Till his prediction came to pass,
Distress and grief he foimd.
10 The king released him from his bonds
And made him rule the land.
Subjecting chiefs and senators
To his controlling hand.
11 To Egypt Israel followed then.
And there grew great and strong.
Until their friends became their foes
And did them grievous wrong.
12 God sent His servant Moses then.
And Aaron, whom He chose;
Great signs and wonders they dis-
played
To terrify their foes.
13 In darkness they were taught to fear
God's great and holy Name;
On man and beast, on vine and field.
His awful judgment came.
14 He smote the first-bom in the land.
The chief of all their strength.
Enriched His people with the spoil
And brought them forth at length.
15 He led them forth in health and
strength.
None weak in all their band,
And Egypt, filled with fear, rejoiced
To see them leave the land.
16 He spread a cloud to cover them,
Most glorious and bright,
And made a fiery pillar shine
To give them light by night.
17 At their request He sent them quails,
And bread of heaven bestowed;
And from the rock, to quench their
thirst,
The living waters flowed.
18 His sacred word to Abraham
He kept, though waiting long,
And brought His chosen people forth
With joy and thankful song.
19 The lands and toil of wicked men
He gave them to possess,
That Uiey might keep His holy laws;
Jehovah praise and bless.

2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds,
His wondrous works and ways?
O who can show His glory forth,
Or utter all His praise?
3 The Lord will bless and prosper those.
Yea, blest indeed are they,
Whose ways are just, who constantly
His righteous law obey.
4 O Lord, remember me in grace.
Let me salvation see;
The grace Thou showest to Thy saints,
That grace reveal to me.
5 Let me behold Thy people's good
And in their joy rejoice;
With Thy triumphant heritage
Let me lift up my voice.
6 In evil we have gone astray,
And sinful is our race;
Rebelliously our fathers walked.
Forgetful of Thy grace.
7 Though they rebelled, yet for their
help
In saving strength He came
To make His power almighty known
And glorify His Name.
8 He brought them safely through the
sea
And overwhelmed their foes; [time
Their faith was stirred, and for the
Their songs of praise arose.
9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God,
Nor for His counsel cared;
He sent them leanness in their souls,
Whilst they earth's bounties shared.
ID With envy they regarded those
Whom God to them had sent;
The opening earth, the kindling
flame,
Brought awful punishment.

And worshiped at its shrine;
Thus they despised the living God
And scorned His love divine.

2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
The promised land of God,
And tempted Him to make them fall
And scatter them abroad.
3 They sacrificed to heathen gods,
And God their sin repaid;
Then holy wrath avenged the wrong,
And so the plague was stayed.
4 The Lord approved the righteous act
Of him who sin abhorred.
And honored him for evermore
With just and great reward.
5 By wicked strife they angered God,
His wrath they did provoke;
And, stirred by their rebellious cries,
Their leader rashly spoke.
6 Ensnared, they served the heathen
gods,
And by them were beguiled;
The blood of children sacrificed
The very land defiled.

7 Against His own inheritance
Jehovah's wrath arose,
His chosen people He condemned
To serve their heathen foes.
8 Though from their harsh oppressors'

Of ttimes He set them free, [low
Rebellious still, they were brought
In their iniquity.
9 When unto God they cried. He heard
And turned again His face.
In boundless love remembering
The covenant of His grace.

And made their very foes
Compassionate and pitiful
To feel His people's woes.

From alien lands reclaim,
That we may triumph in Thy praise
And bless Thy holy Name.

Found no settled dwelling-place
Where in peace secure to stay,
Till with thirst and hunger pressed
Courage sank within their breast.

He Himself became their guide.
Led them to the rest they craved
By a pathway straight and sure.
To a city strong, secure.

From many a false and lying tongue;
Without a cause men hurl at me
The shafts of deadly enmity.
3 My good with evil they repay,
My love turns not their hate away;
The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine,
To pray, and only pray, is mine.
4 Since love appeals to him in vain,
The slave of sin let him remain;
Against him let his foe be turned.
His sin be judged, his prayer be spumed.
5 Let sudden death upon him break.
His office let another take.
His children and his widowed wife
Pursue the homeless beggar's life.
6 Let creditors consume his toil
And strangers make his wealth their spoil;
Let none in pity heed his claim.
Cut off his race, blot out his name.
7 His parents' sins be not forgot
Till Thou from earth his memory blot,
Since he remembered not to show
Compassion to the sons of woe.
8 He cursing loved and blessing loathed;
Unblest, with cursing he is clothed;
For thus the justice of the Lord
My adversaries will reward.

Let me of Thy good grace partake;
My need is great, and great Thou art

In Thy great loving-kindness save;
Before my foes Thy merqr show;
That Thou dost help me make them know.
12 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless?
Then joy shall banish my distress.
And shame shall overwhelm the foes
Who would Thy servant's way oppose.
13 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise,
The multitude shall hear my praise,
For by the needy God will stand
To save them from oppression's hand.

When Thou shalt come in might
Like dawning day, like hopeful youth,
With holy beauty bright.
A priesthood that shall never end
The Lord hath given Thee;
This He hath sworn, and evermore
Fulfilled His word shall be.
Thou shalt subdue the kings of earth
With God at Thy right hand;
The nations Thou shalt rule in might
And judge in every land, [streams.

Shall neither faint nor fall,

The wealth of nations has conferred.

Let all revere His holy Name [know;

His trust is in the Lord alone;
His heart is steadfast, undismayed,
For he shall see his foes overthrown.

For their distress his gifts provide;
His righteousness shall thus endure.
His name in honor shall abide.

While righteous men shall favor

Unrighteous hopes shall come to

Our God is merciful indeed,
Delighting ever to afford
IBs help to me in time of need.
4 Return imto thy rest, my soul,
The Lord has richly dealt with thee,
Delivered thee from death's control.
From sin and sorrow set thee free.
5 Since He has freed my eyes from
tears
And kept my feet from evil ways.
Redeemed from life's distressing fears,
With Him I walk, and Him I praise.
6 In my affliction and my pain,
When fears alarmed and hopes deceived,
I found all human helpers vain,
But in the Lord my sold believed.

2 The Lord with me, I will not fear
Though human might oppose;
The Lord my helper, I shall be
Triimiphant o'er my foes.
No trust in men, or kings of men.
Can confidence afford,
But they are strong, and sure their
trust,
Whose hope is in the Lord.
3 Though nations compass me about,
The swarming hosts of sin.
Yet in the Name of God the Lord
I shall the victory win.
The Lord hath helped and kept me
safe
When foes were fierce and strong;
The Lord my Saviour is become.
He is my strength and song.
4 Salvation's jo3rful song is heard
Where'er the righteous dwell;
For them God's hand is strong to save
And doeth all things well.
I shall not die, but live and tell
The wonders of the Lord;
He hath not given my soul to death.
But chastened and restored.

Truest wisdom can impart;
To my eyes Thy precepts show
Wisdom more than sages know.
3 While my heart Thy word obeys,
I am kept from evil ways;
From Thy law, with Thee to guide,

And her priests shall stand before Me
In salvation's garments clad.

Ever more and more to grow.
On the path of My Anointed
I will make a lamp to glow;
All His enemies shall perish,
I will cover them with shame.
But His crown shall ever flourish.
Blessed be His holy Name.

Come, sing us one of Zion's songs.

When Zion's walls in ruin lie;
How shall we sing Jehovah's song
While in an alien land we die?
4 O Zion fair, God's holy hill,
Wherein our God delights to dwell.
Let my right hand forget her skill
If I forget to love thee well.
5 If I do not remember thee.
Then let my tongue from utterance cease,
If any earthly joy to me
Be dear as Zion's joy and peace.

Of Zion's cruel overthrow;
How happy he who shall repay
The bitter hatred of her foe.

2 My words from Thee I cannot hide, 4 If I the wings of morning take,
I feel Thy power on every side; And far away my dwelling make,
O wondrous knowledge, awful might, The hand that leadeth me is Thine,
Unfathomed depth,unmeasured height! And my support Thy power divine.
3 Where can I go apart from Thee,
Or whither from Thy presence flee ?
In heaven ? it is Thy dwelling fair;
In death's abode ? lo, Thou art there.
S If deepest darkness cover me,
The darkness hideth not from Thee;
To Thee both night and day are
bright,
The darkness shineth as the light.

My life in all its perfect plan They speak against the Name divine,
Was ordered e'er my days began. I count God's enemies as mine.

Awaking I am still with Thee.

With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.

Though sent through foes, in love is
sent;
Though grievous, it will profit me,
A heading ointment it shall be.
6 While wickedness my foes devise,
To Thee my constant prayer shall rise;
When their injustice is overthrown
My gentleness shall still be shown.

And of my lips keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my sinful heart to stray
Where evil footsteps lead the way.

O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest;
Forsake me not, I look to Thee,

To Thee, my shelter from the strife.

2 Trust not in man who soon must die,
But on the living God rely;
Most blest the man whose help is He
That made the heaven and earth and sea.
3 His truth unchanged shall ever stand,
He saves from strong oppression's hand.
In Him the sad a helper find,
He feeds the poor and heals the blind.
4 Thy God shall reign for evermore,
Praise Him, O Zion, and adore;
The Lord is heaven's eternal King,
To Him all praise and honor bring.

2 The starry hosts He numbers,
He calls them all by name;
His greatness and His wisdom
His wondrous works proclaim;
The meek He lifts to honor,
He humbles sinful pride;
Give thanks to Him and utter
His praises far and wide.
3 The heavens with clouds He covers,
He sends the cheering rain;
The slopes of all the mountains
He fills with grass and grain;
To beast and bird His goodness
Their daily food supplies;
He cares for all His creatures,
Attentive to their cries.
4 No human power delights Him,
No earthly pomp or pride;
He loves the meek who fear Him
And in His love confide;
Then praise thy God, O Zion,
His gracious aid confess;
He gives thee peace and plenty.
His gifts thy children bless.
5 He sends His swift commandment.
And snow and ice enfold
The world, and none are able
To stand before His cold.
Again He gives commandment;
The winds of smnmer blow.
The snow and ice are melted.
Again the waters flow.
6 His statutes and His judgments
He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show;
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever.
And Hallelujah sing.

2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name
And counts the stars of night;
His wisdom is imseardiable,
And wondrous is His might.
The Lord upholds the poor and meek,
He brings the wicked low;
Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks
And all His goodness show.
3 No human might, no earthly pride,
Delights the Lord above;
In them that fear Him He delights,
In them that trust His love.
O Zion, praise the Lord thy God,
His wondrous love confess;
He is thy glory and thy strength,
He will thy children bless.

♦ ••
The following selections of Scripture have been arranged to be read
responsively by the minister and people in the church service. No effort
has been made to secure progress of thought, this being judged needless and
undesirable in a devotional exercise. The selections appear in the order in
which they occur in the Bible, excepting an occasional second Psalm in a
few numbers and the special selections at the close. It has seemed best, on
the whole, that these selections should be arranged verse by verse rather
than by unfamiliar divisions, however better adapted as responses these
might be. For fixed seasons and appointments nine particular readings
have been provided, beginning with No. loi, though there are some others
in the series which may be employed fittingly. The text is that of the
American Standard Bible, permission for its use having been given by
Thomas Nelson and Sons, the owners of the copyright. The lines printed
in Roman letter are to be read by the minister. The lines set inward from
the margin and printed in black letter are to be read by the congregation.

Exodus XX
ND God spake all these words,
saying,
I am Jehovah thy God, Who
brought tiiee out (rf the land of
Egypti out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before
Me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a
graven imagOi nor any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth :
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto
them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah
thy God am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children, upon the third and upon the
fourth generation of them that hate
Me,
And showing lovingldndness unto
thousands of them tliat love Me
and keep My commandments.
Thou shalt not take the Name of
Jehovah thy God in-vain; for Jehovah
will not hold him guiltless that taketh
His Name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all
thy work;
But the seventh day is a sabbath
unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-
servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger tliat is
within thy gates:
For in six days Jehovah made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Jehovah blessed the sab-
bath day, and hallowed it.
Honor thy father and thy mother,
tliat thy days may be long in the
land which jfehovaih thy God giveth
thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant,
nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor anything that is thy
neighbor's.

ANSWER me when I call, O God
of my righteousness; Thou hast
set me at large when I was in distress:
have mercy upon me, and hear my
prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long shall
my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and
seek after falsehood?
But know that Jehovah hath set
apart for Himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto
Him.
Stand in awe, and sin not: com-
mune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in Jehovah.
Many there are that say. Who will
show us any good? Jehovah, lift
Thou up the light of Thy counte-

Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than they have when their
grain and their new wine are in-
creased.
In peace will I both lay me down
and sleep; for Thou, Jehovah,
alone makest me dwell in safety.
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah,
consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
my King, and my God; for unto
Thee do I pray.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt
Thou hear my voice; in the morning
will I order my prayer unto Thee,
and will keep watch.
For Thou art not a God that hath
pleasure in wickedness: evil shall
not sojourn with Thee.
But as for me, in the abundance of
Thy lovingkindness will I come into
Thy house: in Thy fear will I wor-
ship toward Thy holy temple.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in Thy
righteousness because of mine
enemies; make Thy way straight
before my face.
Let all those that take refuge in Thee
rejoice, let them ever shout for joy,
because Thou defendest them; let
them also that love Thy Name be

And that He was buried; and that
He hath been raised on the third
day according to the scriptures ;
And that He appeared to Cephas;
then to the twelve;
Then He appeared to above five
hundred brethren at once, of whom
the greater part remain until now,

Then He appeared to James; then to
all the apostles;
And last of all, as to the child
untimely bom, He appeared to me
also.
For I am the least of the apostles,
that am not meet to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the
church of God.
