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 modern 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 was finished
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. McCulloch, 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 Allegheny 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 chaff
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 o'erthrown.

Of the Lord his chief delight,

Meditating day and night.

All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
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.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all.
Calm He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
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,
Yea, I have begotten Thee.

But if I my neighbor maltreated and spurned,
My soul let the enemy seize for his prey,
My life and my honor in dust let him lay.
3 O Lord, in Thy wrath stay the rage of my foes;
Awake, and Thy judgment ordained interpose.
Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet.
While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat.
4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord;
To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord,
As faithful and righteous in life I have been,
And ever integrity cherished within.
5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart.
For God Who is just tries the thoughts of the heart.
In God for defense I have placed all my trust;
The upright He saves and He judges the just.

And if they repent not is ready to slay;
By manifold ruin for others prepared
They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared.

Nightly tell their Maker's might;
When Thy wondrous heavens I scan,
Then I know how weak is man.
What is man that he should be
Loved and visited by Thee,
Raised to an exalted height,
Crowned with honor in Thy sight ?
3 With dominion crowned he stands
O'er the creatures of Thy hands;
All to him subjection yield
In the sea and air and field.
Lord, our Lord, Thy glorious Name
All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
Thine the Name of matchless worth,
Excellent in all the earth.

2 My enemies turn and are scattered in fear,
They stumble and perish because Thou art near;
For Thou hast defended my right and my cause,
Thou sittest in judgment, upholding Thy laws.
3 Rebuked are the nations, the wicked destroyed,
Their memory perished, their dwelling-place void;
Enthroned and eternal, Jehovah shall reign,
The peoples to judge and the right to maintain.
4 Thou, Lord, art a refuge for all the oppressed;
All trust Thee who know Thee, and trusting are blest;
For never, 0 Lord, did Thy mercy forsake
The soul that has sought of Thy grace to partake.
5 Give praise to Jehovah, the mighty deeds tell
Of Him Who has chosen in Zion to dwell.
Of Him to Whom justice and vengeance belong,
Who visits the lowly and overthrows wrong.
6 Behold my affliction. Thy mercy accord,
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;
In 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 Let their devices work their fall, 6
For in their shame is all their pride;
And while they seek unrighteous gain
The Lord of justice is defied.
3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride.
There is no God Who will repay; 7
He has no fear of God or man
Because God's judgments long delay.
4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, g
On fraud and wickedness intent,
With craft he lurks and waits to catch
The helpless and the innocent.
Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand,
O God, protect the poor and meek;
Why should the proud Thy justice
doubt,
And words of bold defiance speak?
O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite,
The sin and sorrow Thou dost see;
The helpless and the fatherless
Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee.
Break Thou the power of wicked men
And let their works no longer stand;
The Lord is King for evermore,
Who drove the nations from His land.
5 A lion crouching for his prey, 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer,
He waits the poor to overthrow; The fainting heart Thou wilt restore.
He thinks that God remembers not. The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain.
Or hides His face and will not know. That mortal man may boast no more.

2 The Lord in His temple shall ever abide;
His throne is eternal, whatever betide.
The children of men He beholds from on high,
The wicked to punish, the righteous to try.
3 The Lord is most righteous, the Lord loves the right,
The evil He hates and will surely requite;
The wicked His anger will drive from their place,
The upright in rapture shall gaze on His face.

Because the needy are distressed.
And bitter are their cries,
The Lord will be their helper strong;
To save them from contempt and

Jehovah will arise.

The tongues of arrogance and pride.
That boastful words employ.
False-speaking tongues that boast

That own no law, that know no right,

As silver from the flame.

His saints are safe, whate'er betide.

2 O Lord my God, behold me,
And hear my earnest cries;
Lest sleep of death enfold me,
Enlighten Thou my eyes;
Lest now my foe insulting
Should boast of his success,
And enemies exulting
Rejoice in my distress.
3 But I with expectation
Have on Thy grace relied;
My heart in Thy salvation
Shall still with joy confide.
And I with voice of singing
Will praise the Lord above.
Who, richest bounties bringing.
Has dealt with me in love.

2 From heaven the Lord with searching 4 Has knowledge with the wicked failed,
eye That they My people have assailed,
Looked down the sons of men to try, That they delight in works of shame,
To see if any understood And call not on Jehovah's Name ?
And sought for God, the only good.
3 From righteousness they all depart.
Corrupt are all, and vile in heart;
Yea, every man has evil done;
Not one does good, not even one.
5 Thy lowly servant they despise.
Because he on the Lord relies;
But they shall tremble yet in fear,
For to the righteous God is near.

Salvation were on us bestowed!
When God His exiles shall restore,
They shall in song His grace adore.

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.
6 Thick darkness hides Him from the
view, [veil,
And swelUng clouds His presence
Until His glorious light breaks through
In lightning flash and glistening hail.
7 Jehovah's thvmders fill the heaven,
The dreadful voice of God Most
High; [riven,
With shafts of light the clouds are
His foes, dismayed, in terror fly.
4 He came: the earth's foundations 8 The raging torrents overflow,
quake. And sweep the world's foundations
The hills are shakenfrom theirplace, bare,
Thick smoke and fire devouring break Because Thy blasts of anger blow,
In anger dread before His face. O Lord of earth and sea and air.
5 Descending through the bending skies, g He took me from the whelming waves
With gloom and darkness under Of bitter hate and sore distress;
Him, The Lord, my stay and helper, saves.
Forth through the storm Jehovah flies Though mighty foes around me
As on the wings of cherubim. press.
lo 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 The merciful shall know Thy grace,
The perfect Thy perfection see,
The pure shall see Thy own pure fuce,
The froward find a foe in Thee.
3 To smite the proud and bring them low,
To save the poor is Thy delight.
The Lord will cause my lamp to glow,
My God will make my darkness light.
4 From God the victory I receive;
Most perfect is His holy way;
His word is tried, they who believe
Will find the Lord their shield and stay.
5 For who is God, and strong to save.
Beside the Lord, our God of might?
'Tis He that makes me strong and brave,
The Lord Who guides my steps aright.
6 Thy free salvation is my shield.
My sure defense in every strait;
Thy hand upholds me, lest I yield;
Thy gentleness has made me great.

They utter forth no word.
Nor into language break,
Their voice is never heard;
Yet through the world the truth they
bear
And their Creator's power declare.
3 The clouds of heaven are spread,
A tent to hold the sun,
And like a bridegroom fair
Comes forth the mighty one.
Rejoicing in his strength and grace
To run his wondrous daily race.
4 His daily going forth
Is from the end of heaven;
The firmament to him
Is for his circuit given;
His journey reaches to its ends,
And everywhere his heat extends.

Cleanse me from hidden stain;

May all my thoughts within
And all the words I speak

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.
7 Unnumbered foes would do Me wrong,
They press about Me, fierce and
strong,
Like beasts of prey their rage they vent,
My courage fails. My strength is spent.
8 Down unto death Thou leadest Me,
Consumed by thirst and agony;
With cruel hate and 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.
5 My trust on Thee I learned to rest lo 0 Lord, afar no longer stay;
When I was on My mother's breast; Q Thou My helper, haste, I pray;
From birth Thou art My God alone. From death and evil set Me free;
Thy care My life has ever known. i Uve, for Thou didst answer Me.
6 0 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;

2 The burden of the sorrowful
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
'Mid those who fear His Name.
[^Selected Stanzas ]
He feeds with good the humble soul
And satisfies the meek,
And they shall live and praise the
Lord
Who for His mercy seek.
The ends of all the earth take thought,
The nations seek the Lord;
They worship Him, the King of kings,
In earth and heaven adored.

2 For Thy Name's sake Thou dost guide me 3 Thou preparest me a table
In the paths of righteousness; .In the presence of the foe;
Though I walk the vale of shadows, Thou my head with oil anointest,
Fears no more my soul oppress ; Yea, my cup doth overflow.
Thou art with me, O my Saviour,
With Thy rod and staff to bless. Having Thee, no want I know.

Evermore my home shall be,

Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain.

2 When evil-doers came
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.
4 When troubles round me swell.
When fears and dangers throng,
Securely I will dwell
In His pavilion strong;
Within the covert of His tent
He hides me till the storm is spent.
5 Uplifted on a rock
Above my foes around,
Amid the battle shock
My song shall still resound;
Then joyful offerings I will bring,
Jehovah's praise my heart shall sing.

2 O Lord, regard me when I cry,
In mercy hear me when I speak;
Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I,
O Lord, with willing heart reply,
Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
3 Hide not Thy face afar from me,
For Thou alone canst help afford;
O cast me not away from Thee
Nor let my soul forsaken be.
My Saviour and my Lord.
[ Selected Stanzas ]
4 Though earthly friends no pity take, ;
Yet Thy compassion knows no end;
E'en though my father shall forsake.
E'en though my mother's love shall
break,
The Lord will be my friend.
5 My heart had failed in fear and woe
Unless in God I had believed,
Assured that He would mercy show
And that my life His grace should know,
Nor was my hope deceived.
6 Fear not, though succor be delayed.
Still wait for God, and He will hear;
Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed,
Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid,
Yea, trust and never fear.

2 The voice of Jehovah, the God of all glory.
Rolls over the waters, the thunders awake;
The voice of Jehovah, majestic and mighty.
Is heard, and the cedars of Lebanon break.
3 His voice makes the mountains and deserts to tremble,
Wild beasts are affrighted, the forests laid bare,
And through all creation, His wonderful temple.
All things He has fashioned His glory declare.
4 The Lord ruled in might at the flood of great waters,
A King Whose dominion is never to cease;
The Lord will give blessing and strength to His people,
The Lord all His people will comfort with peace.

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
When 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 spare ?
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.

While foes conspire to slay.

O smile upon Thy servant, Lord,
And in Thy mercy save.

But let the wicked be ashamed,
And silent in the grave.

Who words of falsehood seek.
The lips which with contempt and pride
Against the righteous speak.

In Thee they find a hiding-place
When foes their plots devise;
A sure retreat Thou wilt prepare,
And keep them safely sheltered there.
When strife of tongues shall rise.
3 Blest be the Lord, for He hath showed.
While giving me a safe abode.
His love beyond compare;
Although His face He seemed to hide,
He ever heard me when I cried,
And made my wants His care.
4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve,
For He the faithful will preserve,
And shield from men of pride;
Be strong and let your hearts be brave,
All ye that wait for Him to save.
In God the Lord confide.

2 Ashamed, confounded let them be
Who seek my ruin and disgrace;
O let Thy angel fight for me,
And drive my foes before his face.
Without a cause my life they sought,
Without a cause their plots they laid;
Themselves within their snares be caught,
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.

2 He cherishes the empty hope,
Although his sin be great,
It never shall be brought to light
And viewed with righteous hate.
3 The words he utters with his mouth
Are wickedness and lies;
He keeps himself from doing good,
And ceases to be wise.

To planning wickedness;
He sets himself in evil ways,
He shuns not to transgress.

The Love and Justice of God
2 Lord, Thou preservest man and beast; 4 The fountain of eternal life
Since Thou art ever kind, Is found alone with Thee,
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings And in the brightness of Thy light
We may a refuge find. We clearly light shall see.
3 With the abundance of Thy house
We shall be satisfied,
From rivers of unfailing joy
Our thirst shall be supplied.
5 From those that know Thee may Thy
And mercy ne'er depart, [love
And may Thy justice still protect
And bless the upright heart.

6 The workers of iniquity
Are fallen utterly;
They shall not triumph in their pride,
Or drive my soul from Thee.

While I was dumb my grief was stirred.
My heart grew hot with thought
suppressed;
The whUe I mused the fire increased.
Then to the Lord I made request.
Make me, O Lord, to know my end,
Teach me the measure of my days.
That I may know how frail I am
And turn from pride and sinful ways.
My time is nothing in Thy sight.
Behold, my days are but a span;
Yea, truly at his best estate,
A breath, a fleeting breath, is man.
6 And now, 0 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 constmaed away.
How weak his strength, how vain
his plan.
Man's Hfe is passed in vain desire
If troubled years be spent for gain;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be.
And all his toil is but in vain.
Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry,
I weep, be Thou my comforter;
I am a stranger here below,
A pilgrim as my fathers were.
lo 0 spare me. Lord, avert Thy wrath.
Deal gently with me, I implore.
That I may yet recover strength
E'er I go hence and be no more.

2 A new and joyful song of praise
He taught my thankful heart to raise;
And many, seeing me restored,
Shall fear the Lord and trust;
And blest are they that trust the Lord,
The humble and the just.
3 0 Lord my God, how manifold
Thy wondrous works which I behold,
And all Thy loving, gracious thought
Thou hast bestowed on man;
To count Thy mercies I have sought,
But boimdless is their span.
4 Not sacrifice deUghts the Lord,
But he who hears and keeps His word;
Thou gavest me to hear Thy will,
Thy law is in my heart;
I come the Scripture to fulfil,
Glad tidings to impart.

2 Withhold not Thou Thy grace from me, 3 Let all who seek to see Thy face
O Lord, Thy mercy let me see,
To me Thy loving-kindness show,
Thy truth be still my stay;
Let them preserve me where I go.
And keep me every day.
Be glad and joyful in Thy grace;
Let those who Thy salvation love
For evermore proclaim,
O praise the Lord Who dwells above,
And magnify His Name.
4 Although I poor and needy be,
The Lord in love takes thought for me;
Thou art my help in time of need.
My Saviour, Lord, art Thou ;
Then, O my God, I pray, I plead,
Stay not, but save me now.

2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life,
On earth he shall be blest;
The Lord will not surrender him
By foes to be distressed.
3 Upon the bed of suffering
Jehovah will sustain,
And in his sickness God will soothe
The weariness and pain.
4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends.
Let me Thy mercy see;
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned,
I have offended Thee.
5 My enemies against me speak,
And they my life have scorned;
They wish my name to pass away,
Unhonored and unmoimied.
6 My foe, deceitful, visits me,
B5^ seeming kindness led,
His heart intent on gathering
Some hurtful news to spread.
7 My foes, together whispering,
Their evil plans devise;
Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
Laid low, he shall not rise.
8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend,
In whom I put my trust, [ wrath
Who ate my bread, now turns in
To crush me in the dust.
9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace.
And raise me up again,
That I with justice may requite
These base and wicked men.
ID By this I know assuredly
That I am loved by Thee,
Because my foe does not exult
In triumph over me.
II And as for me, in uprightness
Thou dost uphold me well.
And settest me before Thy face
For evermore to dwell.
12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God
For evermore. Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise. Amen.

Thirstings for God
L. M.
Baca
William 13. Bradbury
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,
0 why hast Thou forgotten me ?
Why go I mourning on my way.
Oppressed 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.

Trust God, Who will employ
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.

Their own arm to them could no safety afford,
But Thy right hand saved, and the light of Thy face,
Because of Thy favor and wonderful grace.

Through Thee we will surely defeat all our foes.
Through Thy Name will triumph o'er those that oppose.

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.

Since God is in the midst of her,

For God will be her early help,
When trouble is at hand.

The troubled earth was stilled to peace
Before His mighty word.

2 God's city is forever blest
With living waters welling;
Since God is there she stands unmoved
'Mid tumults round her swelling;
God speaks and all is peace,
From war the nations cease;
The Lord of Hosts is nigh,
Our fathers' God Most High
Is our eternal dwelling.
3 Behold what God has done on earth;
His wrath brings desolation,
His grace, commanding wars to cease,
Brings peace to every nation;
Be still, for He is Lord,
By all the earth adored;
The Lord of Hosts is nigh,
Our fathers' God Most High
Is our strong habitation.

The city of the mighty King And hostile kings, in sudden fear,
In majesty securely stands. Have fled as ships by tempests blown.

2 Where'er Thy Name, O God, is known, 4 Encompass Zion, count her towers,
Where'er Thy glorious fame extends, And mark her strong defenses well ;
There also is Thy praise proclaimed, Consider all her palaces,
Far as the earth's remotest ends. And to your sons her glory tell.
3 Thy hand is full of righteousness;
Let Zion's gladness then be great,
And let her daughters sing for joy
And all Thy judgments celebrate.
5 This mighty God forever lives
Our God and Saviour to abide.
And till our pilgrim days shall end
Will ever be our faithful guide.

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

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 they say;
Death their shepherd, they the sheep
He within his fold will keep.
[Stanzas 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.

2 He calls aloud to heaven and earth
That He may justly judge His own;

Who sacrifice to Me alone;

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 hunger 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.

About Him storms shall sweep.

There is not one that doeth good,
Not even one is found.
4 These men of evil deeds.
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
Those who His saints assail.
6 Yea, God will put to shame
And make them flee away,
For He will cast them off in wrath
And fill them with dismay.
7 O would that Israel's help
Were out of Zion come!
0 would that God might early bring
His captive people home!
8 When God from distant lands
His exiled ones shall bring,
His people shall exultant be.
And gladly they shall sing.

Earnest Appeal Against Enemies
4 O had I wings, I sigh and say,
Like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away
And find a peaceful home.
5 Lo, wandering far my rest should be
In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
6 O Lord, their malice recompense.
Their wicked tongues confound,
For in the city 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.
8 No foreign foe provokes alarm,
But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
And recompense their sin.

And break their plighted troth,
Who hide their hate with honeyed

With such the Lord is wroth.
5 Upon the Lord thy burden cast.
To Him bring all thy care;
He will sustain and hold thee fast,
And give thee strength to bear.
2 He has redeemed my soul in peace.
From conflict set me free;
My many foes are made to cease.

Prayer for Deliverance
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,
0 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.
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.
Upon me are Thy vows,
0 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.

To help me, O awake;

Arise, and vengeance take.
4 My enemies with deadly rage
Renew their fierce attack;
They think the Lord will not regard,
But Thou wilt turn them back.
6 O God, our shield, let wickedness
And pride be put to shame,
Till all shall know that Thou dost rule
And all shall fear Thy Name.
7 Let wickedness that raged in power
Now rage in impotence;
But I will glory in Thy strength,
My refuge and defense.

And morning dawns at length.
Then I shall praise Thy grace, O God,

2 The wicked in their base designs
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.
The just shall triumph in the Lord,
Their trust shall be secure,
And endless glory then shall crown
The upright and the pure.

2 Against us sin has battled hard;
For help we look to Thee and pray;
Thou our transgressions wilt forgive,
Yea, Thou wilt take them all away.
3 How blest are they whom Thou dost choose
To come and in Thy courts abide;
Communing in Thy holy house,
With good we shall be satisfied.
4 By mighty deeds in righteousness
Prayer's answer surely comes from Thee,
O God our Saviour, God the trust
Of all Thy saints on land or sea.
5 Thy power has set the mountains firm,
O God Almighty, girt with strength;
At Thy command the waves are still.
The nations cease from war at length.

Lead men in every clime to fear;
From east to west through all the earth
Thou sendest gladness far and near.

2 How great my trespasses appear,
But Thou from guilt my soul wilt clear,
And my transgressions hide.
How blest Thy chosen, who by grace
Are brought within Thy dwelling-
place
That they may there abide.
3 The goodness of Thy house, O Lord,
The joys Thy holy courts afford,
Our souls shall satisfy;
By deeds of might, in justice wrought.
The Lord will grant us what we sought,
Our Saviour, God Most High.
On Thy sustaining arm depend.
To earth's and sea's remotest end,
All men in every age;
Thy strength establishes the hills,
Thy word the roaring billows stills.
And calms the peoples' rage.
The tribes of earth's remotest lands
Behold the tokens of Thy hands
And bow in godly fear;
The east, where beams the morning
light.
The west, in evening glories bright,
Rejoice, for Thou art near.

With copious showers Thou didst as-
The thirsting of Thy heritage, [suage
Thy congregation dwelt secure;
Thou, God, art gracious to the poor.
The Lord sent forth His mighty word,
And shouts of victory were heard;
The women came, a mighty throng,
To join the glad triumphant song.
When God His chosen people led.
The kings and armies turned and fled;
The hosts of God victorious fought.
And home their spoils and trophies
brought.
God's people rested, free from care,
In glorious peace and beauty fair;
Their mighty King did overthrow
The hostile kings like driven snow.
All mountains unto God belong.
But Zion's holy mountains strong
Above them all the Lord loves well,
And there He will forever dwell.
Great hosts to holy wars have trod,
The armies of the living God;
Among them He reveals His face.
The God of justice and of grace.
Thou hast ascended up on high
And captive led captivity ;
They come with gifts, who did rebel.
That with them God the Lord might

Still waiting I abide.

Though to disarm their enmity
My right I yield for peace.

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.

With slander do me wrong.
And they who linger at their cups
Make me their jest and song.

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.
[Stanzas 10-18]
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.

Let all therein give praise,
For Zion God will surely save.

Yea, there shall be their lasting rest,

2 Let them be turned back in confusion, O Lord,
Who in my destruction would joy;
Let shame and defeat be their only reward
Who sneers and derision employ.
3 May all those who seek Thee, and make Thee their choice,
Great gladness and blessedness see;
May all those who love Thy salvation rejoice
And constantly magnify Thee.
4 I cry in deep need and Thy help I implore;
Make haste to the rescue, I pray;
My Saviour Thou art, and my strength evermore,
No longer Thy coming delay.

With none to help me near.
4 My God, be Thou not far from me,
Make haste to hear my call;
Ashamed, consumed be all my foes,
Dishonored let them fall.
5 But I will ever hope in Thee.
My ceaseless praise is Thine;
I will declare Thy countless deeds
Of truth and grace divine.
6 Yea, I will tell the mighty acts
Performed by God the Lord;

With praise I will record.

By Thee have I been taught,
And faithfully have I declared
The wonders Thou hast wrought.

Shall bow before His throne;
His enemies shall be subdued,
And He shall rule alone.
4 Yea, all the kings shall bow to Him,
His rule all nations hail;
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.

2 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 abundant 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 and peace,
While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase.
And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain.
That clean 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 thought.

My flesh and heart falter, but God is my stay,

Shall guide me and control,
And then to glory afterward
Thou wilt receive my soul.
3 Whom have I, Lord, in heaven but
Thee, 5
To Whom my thoughts aspire ?
And, having Thee, on earth is nought
That I can yet desire.
Though flesh and heart should faint

All shall be well with me,
Held by Thy hand;
And Thou wilt guide my feet
By Thy own counsel sweet,
Till I, for glory meet,
In glory stand.

Who is there that I love
Compared with Thee?

Shall be in praise confessed
For evermore.

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,
The sanctuaries of our God
Are given to the flame.
8 O God, Thou art our King of old,
Salvation Thou hast wrought;
In safety through the mighty sea
Our fathers Thou hast brought.
9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man,
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran.
10 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.
6 We see no signs of power divine, 12 Fulfil, O Lord, Thy covenant,
No prophet speaks for Thee, Our strong protector be.
And none can tell, and none can know. For in the earth are dark abodes
How long these woes shall be. Of crime and cruelty.
7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy
And shame reproach our land ?
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes -
With Thy almighty hand ?
13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame,
No longer in Thy sight
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
Lord, vindicate the right.

Zion's Glory and Safety
Excellent and glorious art Thou,
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 ?
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 praise
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 Him, and Him alone;
Mighty kings obey and fear Him,
Princes bow before His throne.

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 speechless
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?
7 In weakness I was pressed with fear,
But better hopes my spirit cheer;
Past mercies lead me to rely
Upon the help of God Most High.
8 Thy deeds, 0 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Thy way, O 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
peace,
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 off, and nevermore
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 born of my infirmity;
Though I am weak, God is most high,
And on His goodness I rely;
Of all His wonders I will tell.
And on His deeds my thoughts shall
dwell.

2 My heart inquired with anxious care, 4 These doubts are my infirmity,
Will God forever spurn? My thoughts at once reply;
Shall we no more His favor see? I call back years of God's right hand,
Will mercy ne'er return? The years of God Most High.
3 Forever shall His promise fail?
Has God forgotten grace?
Has He withdrawn His tender love,
In anger hid His face?
5 I will commemorate, O Lord,
Thy wondrous deeds of old,
And meditate upon Thy works
Of power and grace imtold.

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 Him not;
Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky
And rained down the 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 abundance 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 imbelieving 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,
They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled.
13 They limited God, the Most Holy One,
And hindered the work His grace had begim;
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-born 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 dwell in the mountain the Lord's hand had bought.
3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair;
The nations that dwelt in wickedness there
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 unwed,
Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead.
182
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.

How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer?
For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears,
And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share;
The nations round us mock with scornful jeers.
O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt'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.
Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
That 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.
Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine
Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand.
The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine,
For it is burned with fire, no more to stand;
Thy people perish in Thy anger sore
Because Thy face now shines on them no more.

2 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain.
The son of man Thou madest strong to be;
So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain ;
Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee.
Jehovah, God of Hosts, again restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.

2 O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes,
Affliction our portion, despised by our foes;
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore,
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.
3 A place for Thy people Thou, Lord, didst prepare,
Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care;
Its branches like cedars, majestic and free,
Spread over the mountains from river to sea.
4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows,
Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes;
O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine,
Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine.
5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down,
Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown;
The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue,
The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do.
6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name we will praise,
And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways;
O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore.
And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once 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;
0 that thou wouldst hearken now;
No strange worship shalt thou offer.
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 blindness,
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 hunger will supply.
Bid the very rocks yield honey
That shall fully satisfy.

But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, 0 God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Through all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth.
Copyrieht, 1901, by United Presbyterian Board of Publication
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.

2 Against Thy own, whom Thou dost 4 O God, Who in our fathers' time
Their craft Thy foes employ; [love, Didst smite our foes and Thine,
They think to cut Thy people off, So smite Thy enemies to-day
Thy Church they would destroy. Who in their pride combine.
3 Thy ancient foes, conspiring still, 5 Make them like dust and stubble
With one consent agree, Before the whirlwind dire, [blown
And they who with Thy people strive In terror driven before the storm
Make war, O God, with Thee. Of Thy consuming fire.
6 Confound them in their sin till they
To Thee for pardon fly.
Till in dismay they trembling own
That Thou art God Most High.-

2 A single day within Thy courts,
Where I Thy beauty see,
Is better than a thousand days,
My God, apart from Thee.
A lowly station in Thy house
Were dearer to my heart
Than in the tents of wickedness
To claim the chiefest part.

A sun and shield is God, the Lord,
To lighten and defend;
The Lord to such as look to Him
Will grace and glory send;
To those that walk in righteousness
No good will He deny;

Who on Thy grace rely.

Has found where she may build her nest
And brood her young in safety there;
Thy altars as my rest I sing,
O Lord of Hosts, my God, my King.
3 Blest they who in Thy house abide.
They still to Thee shall render praise;
Blest they who in Thy strength confide.
And in whose hearts are Zion's ways;
Though passing through the vale of tears.
Like springs of joy Thy grace appears.
4 Advancing still from strength to strength.
They onward go where saints have trod,
Till every one appears at length
In Zion's courts before his God;
Jehovah, God of Hosts, give ear,
Our fathers' God, in mercy hear.

Days in the Sanctuary
Upon us look, O God, our shield,
The face of Thy anointed see;
A thousand other days can yield
No gladness like one day with Thee;
Though only at Thy door I wait,
No tents of sin give joy so great.
6 Jehovah, God our Shield and Sun,
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.

In grace Thy people. Lord, return,

And show us Thy salvation, Lord;
Yea, Thou wilt answer us in peace,
If from our folly we will cease.
5 The Lord's salvation will appear
To men of faith and godly fear,
And glory in our land shall dwell [well.
When we shall heed God's precepts

Now law and peace are reconciled;
Behold the truth from earth arise,
With justice shining from the skies.

And harvests all our land shall crown;

And in His steps our feet He guides.

Desires and Aspirations
Help me Thy will to do,
Thy truth I will pursue,
Teach me to fear;
Give me the single eye
Thy Name to glorify,
O Lord, rny God Most High,
With heart sincere.
How great Thy love appears
That bade death's gloomy fears
No more dismay;
O God, to anger slow.
Save me from every foe.
Thy loving-kindness show.
Thy truth display.
Show me Thy mercy true.
Thy servant's strength renew,
Deliverance send;
To me Thy goodness show.
Thy comfort. Lord, bestow;
Let those that hate me know
Thou art my friend.

2 Thou hast brought me down to dark-
ness,
'Neath Thy wrath I am oppressed;
All the billows of affliction
Overwhelm my soul distressed.
Thou hast made my friends despise me,
And companionless I go,
Bound, and helpless in my bondage.
Pining in my bitter woe.
Unto Thee with hands uplifted ,
Daily I direct my cry;
Hear, 0 Lord, my sup'plication,
Hear and save me e'er I die.
Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders
And Thy mercy to the dead ?
Let me live to tell Thy praises,
By Thy loving-kindness led.

An Outpouring of Sorrow
Still, O Lord, renewed each morning
Unto Thee my prayer shall be;
Cast me not away forever,
Let me now Thy favor see.
All my life is spent in sorrow.
Grief and terror always nigh.
Waves of wrath have surged about me;
Show Thy mercy e'er I die.
Friend and lover are departed,
Dark and lonely is my way;
Lord, be Thou my friend and helper,
Still to Thee, 0 Lord, I pray.
Lord, the God of my salvation,
Day and night I cry to Thee;
Let my prayer now find acceptance, .
In Thy mercy answer me.

2 I sing of mercies that endure.
Forever builded firm and sure.
Of faithfulness that never dies,
Established changeless in the skies.
3 Behold God's truth and grace dis-
played,
For He has faithful covenant made.
And He has sworn that David's son
Shall ever sit upon his throne.
4 The heavens shall join in glad accord
To praise Thy wondrous works,0 Lord;
Thy faithfulness shall praise command
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 throne
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 faithfulness 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.
9 The heavens and earth, by right ^
divine.
The world and all therein, are Thine;
The whole creation's wondrous frame
Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name.

2 My chosen servant I appoint,
With holy oil his head anoint;
My hand with him shall still remain,
My arm his strength shall well sustain.
3 No enemy shall him affright,
His adversaries I will smite,
My faithfulness to him will prove,
And nevermore My grace remove.
4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name,
And great shall be his power and
fame.
From sea to sea his mighty hand
Shall hold dominion o'er the land.
5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry,
My God, my rock of refuge high;
My firstborn son shall he be owned,
Above the kings of earth enthroned.
6 For him My mercy shall endure.
My covenant made with him is sure,
His throne and race I will maintain
Forever, while the heavens remain.
7 Should sons of his my laws forsake,
My just commands and statutes
break.
Then, though My rod their sins re-
prove.
My mercy I will not remove.
8 Though they be chastened sore and
tried,
My faithfulness shall yet abide;
My plighted word I will not break,
Nor change the promise that I spake.
[Stanzas 14-28 ]
9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure.
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.
11 He is reproached and spoiled of all,
His enemies upon him fall;
His beauty is consumed away,
Forgotten is his kingly sway.
12 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.

His word is faithful now as then ;
Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

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.
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.
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.

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 wrath 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 Hfe's day.
And soon our spirits fly away;
O who with true and reverent
thought
Can fear Thy anger as he ought?
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.

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight

Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

Bears all its sons away;

Dies at the opening day.

2 Angelic guards at His commands
Will bear thee safely in their hands,
Will keep thee, lest, if left alone.
Thou dash thy foot against a stone.
3 Though fierce and treacherous foes assail,
Their power and wrath shall not prevail;
Their cruel strength, their venomed spite,
Thou shalt o'ercome with conquering might.
4 Because on Me he set his love,
I will his constant Saviour prove.
And since to him My Name is known,
I will exalt him as My own.

Most gracious shall My answer be;

And in his trouble I will bless.

And honor him while he shall live;

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 fooUsh man knows not their
worth,
Nor he whose mind 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.
Thou, Lord, hast high exalted me
With royal strength and dignity;
With Thy anointing 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.

Thou hast made my life victorious,
Great Thy works and deep Thy

Thou, 0 Lord, on high exalted,
Reignest evermore in might;
All Thy enemies shall perish,
Sin be banished from Thy sight.
[Selected Stanzas ]
3 But the good shall live before Thee,
Planted in Thy dwelling-place,
Fruitful trees and ever verdant,
Nourished by Thy bovmdless grace.
In His goodness to the righteous
God His righteousness displays;
God my rock, my strength and refuge,
Just and true are all His ways.

Above the raging sea.

2 How long, 0 Lord, in boastful pride
Shall wicked men triumphant stand?
How long shall they afflict Thy saints
And devastate Thy chosen land?
2lS
God the Righteous Judge
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.

2 Almighty power the Lord maintains,
Exalted over all He reigns;
He holds the valleys in His hand,
He makes the mighty mountains

To Him belong both land and sea,
Creator of the world is He.
3 O come and let us worship now,
Before our Maker let us bow;
We are His sheep and He our God,
He feeds our souls in pastures broad;
He safely leads us in the way;
O come and heed His voice to-day.
Take heed and harden not your heart
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.
Take heed that ye provoke Him not
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.

2 For, how great a God, and glorious.
Is Jehovah Whom we sing;
Over idol-gods victorious,
Great is He, our God and King.
In His hand are earth's deep places.
His the strength of all the hills,
His the sea whose bounds He traces.
His the land His bounty fills.
3 To the Lord, such might revealing.
Let us come with reverence meet.
And, before our Maker kneeling,
Let us worship at His feet.
He is our own God and leads us,
We the people of His care;
With a shepherd's hand He feeds us
As His flock in pastures fair.
While He proffers peace and pardon
Let us hear His voice to-day,
Lest, if we our hearts should harden,
We should perish in the way;
Lest to us, so unbelieving.
He in righteous wrath shall sware:
Ye, so long My Spirit grieving,
Never in My rest can share.

2 The Lord is great above all gods,
Let glad hosannas rise;
The heathen gods are idols vain;
Jehovah made the skies.
Great honor is before His face,
And majesty divine;
Within His holy dwelling-place
Both strength and beauty shine.
3 Let all the peoples of the earth
Give glory to the Lord,
Give Him the glory due His Name
And strength to Him accord;
With offerings come ye to His courts,
Li holy beauty bow,
Let all the earth with reverence come
And serve Jehovah now.
4 To all the nations of the earth
The blessed tidings bring;
Tell all the world Jehovah reigns,
The universal King.
The world shall therefore stand un-

Established by His might;
And just is He to judge the wrong
And vindicate the right.
5 Let heaven and earth and sounding sea
To Him glad tribute bring;
Let field and wood and all therein
Before Jehovah sing;
For, lo, He comes to judge the earth,
And all the world shall see
His everlasting faithfulness,
His truth and equity.

2 Tell all the world His wondrous ways,
Tell heathen nations far and near;
Great is the Lord, and great His praise,
And Him alone let nations fear.
3 The heathen gods are idols vain;
The shining heavens the Lord supports;
Both light and honor lead His train,
While strength and beauty fill His courts.
4 Let every tongue and every tribe
Give to the Lord due praise and sing;
All glory unto Him ascribe.
Come, throng His courts, and offerings bring.
5 O fear and bow, adorned with grace.
And tell each land that God is King;
The earth He founded in its place,
And justice to the world will bring.
6 Let heaven be glad, let earth rejoice.
The teeming sea resound with praise;
Let waving fields lift high their voice.
And all the trees their anthem raise.
7 So let them shout before our God,
For, lo, He comes. He comes with might,
To wield the sceptre and the rod,
To judge the world with truth and right.

Till through the nations His Name is revered;
Praise and exalt Him, for He is almighty,
God over all let the Lord be feared.
3 Vain are the heathen gods, idols and helpless;
God made the heavens, and His glory they tell;
Honor and majesty shine out before Him,
Beauty and strength in His temple dwell.
4 Give unto God Most High glory and honor,
Come with your offerings and humbly draw near;
In holy beauty now worship Jehovah,
Tremble before Him with godly fear.
5 Make all the nations know God reigns forever;

Righteous and just is the King of the nations,
Judging the people with equity.

For God is coming, the Judge of the nations,
Coming to judge in His righteousness.

The sheep of His pasture are we.

3 With thankfulness enter His gates,
His praise in His temple proclaim;

Through ages unending extends.

2 Know that the Lord is God alone;
He made us and will keep,
For His we are, and not our own,
His people and His sheep.
3 With glad thanksgiving throng His
His goodness to proclaim; [gates,
Within His courts, where mercy waits,
Give thanks and bless His Name.
4 For He is good, and time shall prove
His mercies ever sure.
And while the ages onward move
His truth shall still endure.

I will not set my heart;
Transgressors' ways abhorring,
With them I take no part.
No froward man or evil

I will not suffer slander

All wickedness reward.

And Zion's walls shall be restored;
Then all the kings of earth shall fear
And heathen nations serve the Lord.
5 The Lord has heard and answered prayer
And saved His people in distress;
This to the coming age declare,
That they His holy Name may bless.
6 The Lord, exalted on His throne,
Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive's moan
And save His people doomed to die.
7 All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord.

And He is strong to save;
He heals thy sickness, soothes thy pain,
And ransoms from the grave.
5 The Lord will judge in righteousness
For all that are oppressed;
To all His saints His gracious acts
And ways are manifest.
6 The Lord is ever merciful,
And unto anger slow;
His loving-kindness and His grace
In rich abundance flow.
4 He crowns thee with His grace and 7 He will not chide for evermore,
And,with His strength endued,[love. He turns His wrath away;
Thou mountest up with eagle's wings. He has not strictly marked our sins,

So great His mercy proves;
As far from us as east from west
He all our sin removes.

From age to age the same,

3 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy
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.

His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged;
Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound.
Forbidding the waters to cover the groimd.

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 delays.
4 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
The lions creep forth, God's bounty 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 return.

A song to God will raise,

2 Let hearts rejoice that seek the Lord,
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,
The Lord our God is God alone.
All lands His judgments know;
His promise He remembers still,
While generations go.
While yet our fathers were but few,
Sojourners in the land,
He sware that Canaan should be theirs,
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 found.
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-born 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
19
At their request He sent them quails,
And bread of heaven bestowed ;
And from the rock, to quench their
thirst,
The hving waters flowed.
His sacred word to Abraham
He kept, though waiting long,
And brought His chosen people forth
With joy and thankful song.
The lands and toil of wicked men
He gave them to possess.
That they 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 0 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.
10 With envy they regarded those
Whom God to them had sent;
The opening earth, the kindling
flame,
Brought awful punishment.
11 A golden image they adored.
And worshiped at its shrine;
Thus they despised the living God
^ And scorned His love divine.

2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, 7 Against His own inheritance
The promised land of God, Jehovah's wrath arose,
And tempted Him to make them fall His chosen people He condemned
And scatter them abroad. To serve their heathen foes.
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.
8 Though from their harsh oppressors'
hand
Ofttimes He set them free, [low
Rebellious still, they were brought
In their iniquity.
9 When imto God they cried. He heard
And tiuned again His face,
In boimdless love remembering
The covenant of His grace.
10 He even touched their captors' hearts,
And made their very foes
Compassionate and pitiful
To feel His people's woes.
11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God,
From alien lands reclaim,
That we may triumph in Thy praise
And bless Thy holy Name.
12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God,
All praise to Him accord;
Let all the people say. Amen.
Praise ye, praise ye the Lord.

2 From captivity released,
From the south and from the north,
From the west and from the east,
In His love He brought them forth,
Ransomed out of every land
From the adversary's hand.
3 Wandering in the wilderness,
Far they roamed the desert way,
Foimd no settled dwelling-place
Where in peace secure to stay.
Till with thirst and hunger pressed
Courage sank within their breast.
4 To Jehovah then they cried
In their trouble, and He saved;
He Himself became their guide.
Led them to the rest they craved
By a pathway straight and sure,
To a city strong, secure.

Hungry hearts with good supplies.

None can save but God alone.

Makes their sad forebodings cease,

2 Once again the waters well,
All the desert blossoms fair;
There He makes the hungry dwell,
There a city they prepare,
Plant their vines and sow their fields.
And the earth her increase yields.
3 Now He blesses them indeed,
They are greatly multiplied;
On the hills their cattle feed,
Fast increasing, spreading wide;
Then again they are brought low
Through oppression, grief, and woe.

4 His contempt the princes taste;
Driven out they helpless fly,
Wandering in the trackless waste;
But He lifts the needy high,
Where no evil shall annoy,
And with children gives him joy.
5 When His righteous judgments come,
Strong to bless and to destroy.
All iniquity is dumb,
All the righteous sing for joy;
Who Jehovah wisely heed,
In His works His mercy read.

2 Against me slanderous words are flung
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
To heal my wounded, stricken heart.

In Thy great loving-kindness save;
Before my foes Thy mercy 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.

In judgment shall his cause main-

And long his memory shall remain.

His trust is in the Lord alone;
His heart is steadfast, undismayed.
For he shall see his foes o'erthrown.
5 With kind remembrance of the poor.
For their distress his gifts provide;

The idol gods of heathen lands
Are but the work of human hands;
They cannot see, they cannot speak,
Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;
Like them shall be all those who hold
To gods of silver and of gold.
Let Israel trust in God alone,
The Lord Whose grace and power are known;
To Him your full allegiance yield,
And He will be your help and shield;
All those who fear Him God will bless,
His saints have proved His faithfulness.
All ye that fear Him and adore,
The Lord increase you more and more;
Both great and small who Him confess,
You and your children He will bless;
Yea, blest are ye of Him Who made
The heavens, and earth's foundations laid.
The heavens are God's since time began,
But He hath given the earth to man;
The dead praise not the living God,
But we will sound His praise abroad,
Yea, we will ever bless His Name;
Praise ye the Lord, His praise proclaim.

Redemption and Grateful Love
2 Brought nigh to death and full of
grief,
The Lord's salvation I besought;
He heard my cry, He sent relief,
My soul from depths of woe He
brought.
3 Most kind and righteous is the Lord,
Our God is merciful indeed,
Delighting ever to afford
His help to me in time of need.
4 Return unto 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 soul believed.

2 With deadly sorrows compassed
round,
My heart was full of grief;
Then to the Lord I made my prayer
That He would send relief,
3 The Lord is just and merciful,
And gracious to the meek;
He saved me when I cried to Him,
Though I was poor and weak.
4 Return unto thy rest, my soul,
No longer troubled be;
The Lord sustains thee, and has dealt
Most graciously with thee.
5 Before my Saviour I will live,
From death He saved my soul,
My eyes from tears, my feet from
falls.
And He has made me whole.
6 La my affliction this I found,
That human help deceived,
But ever faithful was the Lord
In Whom my soul believed.

2 The Lord with me, I will not fear
Though human might oppose;
The Lord my helper, I shall be
Triumphant 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 joyful 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.

From discontent and envy free.

And cause me in Thy ways to tread;

2 Mocked by those who are unrighteous,
Still to Thy commands I cleave;
Thinking on Thy former judgments,

Stirred my indignation strong,
For in all my pilgrim journey

And Thy law hath been my guide;
I have kept Thy righteous precepts,
And have found them true and tried.

But now Thy good word I obey;
O Thou, Who art holy and gracious,
Now teach me Thy statutes, I pray.
3 The proud have assailed me with slander;
Thy precepts shall still be my guide;
Thy law is my joy and my treasure,
Though sinners may boast in their pride.

That I to Thy statutes might hold;

2 We stand within thy sacred walls,
O Zion, blest for aye,
Wherein the people of the Lord
United homage pay.
3 They come to learn Jehovah's will,
His mighty deeds to own.
For there is judgment's royal seat,
Messiah's kingly throne.
4 O pray that Zion may be blest
And have abundant peace,
For all that love thee in their hearts
Shall prosper and increase.
5 I pray the Lord that peace may still
Within thy walls abound,
And ever in thy palaces
Prosperity be found.
6 Yea, for the sake of friends and kin,
My heart desires thy peace,
And for the house of God the Lord
My care shall never cease.

To hear His word and worship Him with praise;
The throne of justice stands eternal there,
Messiah's throne through endless length of days.
3 Let earnest prayer be made for Zion's peace;
Thy sons who hold thee dear shall prosper well;
May blessing in thy palaces increase
And peace within thy walls forever dwell.
4 For all my brethren and companions' sakes
My prayer shall be, Let peace in thee abide;
Since God the Lord in thee His dwelling makes,

Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion,
Thou hast ever loved her well;
This My resting-place forever,
Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell.
Surely I will bless and help her,
Feed her poor, her saints make glad,
And her priests shall stand before Me
In salvation's garments clad.
I will cause the might of David
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.
2 Far away God's ark was resting;
It is with His people now;
We will go into His temple,
At His footstool we will bow.
With the ark Thy might revealing,
Enter, Lord, into Thy rest;
Let Thy priests be clothed with
justice,
Let Thy joyful saints be blest.
3 Let the king behold Thy favor
For Thy servant David's sake,
Unto whom a sacred promise,
Sure and faithful. Thou didst make.
If his children keep Thy covenant
And Thy testimony own,
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised,
They shall sit upon his throne.

For Zion's good, the Lord hath said;
I will supply her daily need
And satisfy her poor with bread.

Her saints shall shout with joy di-
Messiah's power shall be revealed.
His glory in His Church shall shine.
2 Thy gracious covenant, Lord, fulfil,
Turn not away from us Thy face;
Establish Thou Messiah's throne
And let Him reign within this place.

Your praises with gratitude bring.
3 I know that the Lord is almighty,
Supreme in dominion is He,
Performing His will and good pleasure
In heaven and in earth and the sea.
4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses,
The lightning flames forth at His will,
The wind and the rain He releases
His sovereign designs to fulfil.
5 To ransom His people from bondage
Great wonders and signs He displayed;
He smote all the first-born of Egypt,
Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed.
6 Great nations and kings that opposed Him
Were smitten by God's mighty hand;
Their riches He gave to His people,
And made them inherit the land.
7 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah,
Through all generations renowned;
The Lord is the judge of His people,
His mercies forever abound.
8 Men's idols of gold and of silver
Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see;
Like them shall their makers be helpless,
Unblest shall their worshipers be.

Above all gods our Lord is great;

In Zion is His dwelling-place ;

2 0 Lord, I have confessed Thee
To be my God alone;
O hear my supplication
And be Thy mercy shown;
O God the Lord, my Saviour,
My shield amid the strife,
Let not the wicked triumph
Who plot against my life.
3 Let evil smite the evil
And cause their overthrow;
The needy and afflicted
The Lord will help, I know;
Thy saints, redeemed from evil,
Their thanks to Thee shall give;
The righteous and the upright
Shall in Thy presence live.

2 When in the morning unto Thee
I lift my voice and bring my plea,
Then let my prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned above the skies.
3 When unto Thee I look and pray
With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.
4 Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee im-
plore,
And of my lips keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my sinful heart to stray
Where evil footsteps lead the way.
5 O righteous God, Thy chastisement,
Though sent through foes, in love is
sent;
Though grievous, it will profit me,
A healing ointment it shall be.
6 While wickedness my foes devise,
To Thee my constant prayer shall rise;
When their injustice is o'erthrown
My gentleness shall still be shown.
7 Brought nigh to death and sore dis-
tressed,
O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest;
Forsake me not, I look to Thee,
Let me Thy great salvation see.
8 Themselves entangled in their snare,
Their own defeat my foes prepare;
O keep me. Lord, nor let me fall.
Protect and lead me safe through all.

2 When gloom and sorrow compass me,
The path I take is known to Thee,
And all the toils that foes do lay
To snare Thy servant in his way.
3 All unprotected, lo, I stand,
No friendly guardian at my hand.
No place of flight or refuge near,
And none to whom my soul is dear.
4 O Lord, my Saviour, now to Thee,
Without a hope besides, I flee,
To Thee, my shelter from the strife,
My portion in the land of life.
5 Be Thou my help when troubles
throng.
For I am weak and foes are strong;
My captive soul from prison bring.
And thankful praises I will sing.
6 The righteous then shall gather round
To share the blessing I have found,
Their hearts made glad because they
see
How richly God has dealt with me.

2 Lord, what is man, what hath he
wrought,
The son of man, that in Thy thought
To hold him Thou shouldst deign ?
For man is Hke a breath, a sigh.
His days on earth as quickly fly
As shadows o'er the plain.
3 Lord, bow Thy heavens, in might de-
scend.
Touch Thou the hills, the mountains
rend,
And they shall smoke and flame;
As arrows send Thy Ughtnings out
To put Thy enemies to rout.
And fill Thy foes with shame.
4 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me
From trouble's dark and raging sea,
And from the alien throng.
Whose mouth but vanity doth speak,
Whose hand of strength against the
weak
Is filled with craft and wrong.
5 Now will I sing a glad new song.
Thy praise, O God, I will prolong,
For Thou hast heard my prayer;
Salvation Thou dost give to kings.
Thy own dost keep, with sheltering
wings.
From hurtful sword and snare.
6 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee.
Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me
From all the alien throng,
Whose mouth but vanity doth speak.
Whose hand of strength against the weak
Is filled with craft and wrong.

Their rich, abundant increase yield,
And blessings multiply;
When plenty all thy people share,
And no invading foe is there,
And no distressful cry.

Yea, surely is that people blest
By whom Jehovah is confessed
To be their God alone.

Nor for help on man depend;
He shall die, to dust returning,
And his purposes shall end.
3 Happy is the man that chooses
Israel's God to be his aid;
He is blest whose hope of blessing
On the Lord his God is stayed.
4 Heaven and earth the Lord created,
Seas and all that they contain;
He delivers from oppression,
Righteousness He will maintain.
5 Food He daily gives the hungry.
Sets the mourning prisoner free,
Raises those bowed down with anguish,
Makes the sightless eyes to see.
6 Well Jehovah loves the righteous,
And the stranger He befriends.
Helps the fatherless and widow,
Judgment on the wicked sends.

Through all ages He is King;

He gives thee peace and plenty,
His gifts thy children bless.
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.
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 summer blow.
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
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 unsearchable,
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
j^d 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.

Preface
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
AND God spake all these words,
saying,
I am Jehovah thy God, Who
brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before
Me.
Theu shalt not make unto thee a
graven image, 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 lovingkindness unto
thousands of them that 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
imto 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 that 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,
that thy days may be long in the
land which Jehovah 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.

Psalms I, XV
BLESSED is the man that walk-
eth not in the counsel of the
wicked, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
scoffers :
But his delight is in the law of
Jehovah; and on His law doth he
meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by
the streams of water, that bringeth
forth its fruit in its season, whose
leaf also doth not wither; and what-
soever he doeth shall prosper.
The wicked are not so, but are like
the chaff which the wind drrveth
away.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand
in the judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
For Jehovah knoweth the way of
the righteous; but the way of the
wicked shall perish.
Jehovah, who shall sojourn in Thy
tabernacle? Who shall dwell in Thy
holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and
worketh righteousness, and speak-
eth truth in his heart;
He that slandereth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his friend,
nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbor;
In whose eyes a reprobate is de-
spised, but who honoreth them
that fear Jehovah ; he that swear-
eth to his own hurt, and changeth
not;
He that putteth not out his money to
interest, nor taketh reward against
the innocent. He that doeth these
things shall never be moved.

Psalm II
HY do the nations rage, and the
peoples meditate a vain thin'g?
The kings of the earth set them-
selves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against Jehovah, and
against His anointed, saying,
Let us break their bonds asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens will
laugh: the Lord will have them in
derision.
Then will He speak unto them in
His wrath, and vex them in His sore
displeasure:
Yet I have set My King upon My
holy hill of Zion.
I will tell of the decree : Jehovah said
unto Me, Thou art My Son; this day
have I begotten Thee.
Ask of Me, and I will give Thee
the nations for Thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the
earth for Thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron; Thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel.
Now therefore be wise, O ye
kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice
with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
and ye perish in the way, for His
wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed
are all they that take refuge in Him.

Psalms IV, V
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 coimte-
nance upon us.
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
joyful in thee.
For Thou wilt bless the righteous;
O Jehovah, Thou wilt compass him
with favor as with a shield.

Psalras VIII, xcni
O JEHOVAH, our Lord, how
excellent is Thy Name in all
the earth. Who hast set Thy glory
upon the heavens !
Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings hast Thou estabUshed
strength, because of Thine adver-
saries, that Thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.
When I consider Thy heavens, the
work of Thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which Thou hast ordained;
What is man, that Thou art mind-
ful of him? And the son of man,
that Thou visitest him?
For Thou hast made him but little
lower than God, and crownest him
with glory and honor.

Thou makest him to have dominion
over the works of Thy hands ; Thou
hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens, and the
fish of the sea, whatsoever passeth
through the paths of the seas.
O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is
Thy Name in all the earth !
Jehovah reigneth; He is clothed
with majesty; Jehovah is clothed
with strength ; He hath girded Him-
self therewith: the world also is
estabUshed, that it cannot be
moved.
Thy throne is established of old:
Thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Je-

Psalms XII, XIII
HELP, Jehovah ; for the godly man
ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.
They speak falsehood every one
with his neighbor: with flattering
lip, and with a double heart, do
they speak.
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that speaketh great
things ;
Who have said. With our tongue
will we prevail; our Ups are our
own : who is lord over us?
Because of the oppression of the poor,
because of the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I
will set him in the safety he panteth
for.
The words of Jehovah are pure
words ; as silver tried in a furnace
on the earth, purified seven times.
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah,
Thou wilt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
The wicked walk on every side,
when vileness is exalted among
the sons of men.
How long, O Jehovah? Wilt Thou
forget me for ever? How long wilt
Thou hide Thy face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in
my soul, having sorrow in my heart
all the day? How long shall mine
enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Jehovah
my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;
Lest mine enemy say, I have pre-
vailed against him; lest mine ad-
versaries rejoice when I am moved.
But I have trusted in Thy loving-
kindness; my heart shall rejoice in
Thy salvation.
I will sing unto Jehovah, because
He hath dealt bountifully with me.

Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I
have no good beyond Thee.
As for the saints that are in the earth,
they are the excellent in whom is all
my delight.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that give gifts for another god:
their drink-offerings of blood will

Jehovah is the portion of mine in-

The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
I will bless Jehovah, Who hath given
me counsel ; yea, my heart instructeth
me in the night seasons.
I have set Jehovah always before
me: because He is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall
dwell in safety.
For Thou wilt not leave my soul to
Sheol; neither wilt Thou suffer
Thy holy one to see corruption.
Thou wilt show me the path of life:
in Thy presence is fulness of joy;
in Thy right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend
unto my cry; give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned
lips.
Let my sentence come forth from Thy
presence; let Thine eyes look upon
equity.
Thou hast proved my heart; Thou
hast visited me in the night ; Thou
hast tried me, and findest nothing;

Psalm XIX
THE heavens declare the glory
of God; and the firmament
showeth His handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night showeth knowl-
edge.
There is no speech nor language;
their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all
the earth, and their words to the
end of the world. In them hath
He set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out
of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run his course.
His going forth is from the end of
the heavens, and his circuit unto
the ends of it ; and there is nothing
hid from the heat thereof.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, re-
storing the soul: the testimony of
Jehovah is sure, making wise the
simple.
The precepts of Jehovah are right,
rejoicing the heart: the command-
ment of Jehovah is pure, enUghten-
ing the eyes.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, endur-
ing forever: the ordinances of Jehovah
are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than
gold, yea, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and the
droppings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is Thy servant
warned: in keeping them there is
great reward.
Who can discern his errors? Clear
thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back Thy servant also from pre-
sumptuous sins; let them not have
dominion over me: then shall I be
upright, and I shall be clear from
great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the
meditation of my heart be accept-
able in Thy sight, O Jehovah, my
rock, and my redeemer.

LAY not up for yourselves treas-

But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor

thieves do not break through nor

For where thy treasure is, there will
thy heart be also.
The lamp of the body is the eye:

Ught.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole

or what ye shall drink; nor yet for

Yet I say unto you, that even Solomon

But if God doth so clothe the grass
of the field, which to-day is, and
to-morrow is cast into the oven,
shall He not much more clothe you,
O ye of Uttle faith?
Be not therefore anxious, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek; for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need
of all these things.
But seek ye first His kingdom, and
His righteousness; and all these

some seed fell by the wayside, and
the birds came and devoured it.
And other fell on the rocky ground,
where it had not much earth; and
straightway it sprang up, because
it had no deepness of earth :
And when the sun was risen, it was
scorched ; and because it had no root,
it withered away.
And other fell among the thorns,

it, and it yielded no fruit.
And others fell into the good ground,
and yielded fruit, growing up and
increasing; and brought forth, thirty-
fold, and sixty fold, and a hundredfold.
And He said. Who hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
And when He was alone, they that
were about Him with the twelve
asked of Him the parables.
And He said unto them. Unto you
is given the mystery of the kingdom
of God: but unto them that are
without, all things are done in
parables :
That seeing they may see, and not
perceive ; and hearing they may hear,
and not understand; lest haply they
should turn again, and it should be
forgiven them.
And He saith unto them. Know ye
not this parable? and how shall ye
know all the parables?

We were buried therefore with
Him through baptism into death:

newness of life.
For if we have become united with
Him in the likeness of His death, we

resurrection ;

crucified with Him, that the body
of sin might be done away, that so
we should no longer be in bondage

no more hath dominion over Him.

He Uveth, He liveth unto God.

be dead unto sin, but alive unto God
in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your
mortal body, that ye should obey
the lusts thereof:
Neither present your members unto
sin as instruments of unrighteous-

the greater part remain until now,

And last of all, as to the child
untimely born. He appeared to me

THEREFORE let us also, seeing
we are compassed about with
so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth
so easily beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us.
Looking unto Jesus the author and
perfecter of our faith. Who for the
joy that was set before Him en-
dured the cross, despising shame,
and hath sat down at tiie right
hand of the throne of God.
For consider Him that hath endured
such gainsaying of sinners against
Himself, that ye wax not weary,
fainting in your souls.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin:
And ye have forgotten the exhortation
which reasoneth with you as with
sons. My son, regard not lightly the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art reproved of Him;
For whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth, and scourgeth every
son whom He receiveth.
It is for chastening that ye endure;
God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is there whom his father
chasteneth not?
But if ye are without chasterung,
whereof all have been made par-
takers, then are ye bastards, and
not sons.
Furthermore, we had the fathers of
our flesh to chasten us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much
rather be in subjection unto the
Father of spirits, and live?
For they indeed for a few days
chastened us as seemed good to
them; but He for our profit, that
we may be partakers of His holi-
ness.
All chastening seemeth for the present
to be not joyous but grievous; yet
afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit
unto them that have been exercised
thereby, even the fruit of righteous-
ness.
Wherefore lift up the hands that
hang down, and the palsied knees;
And make straight paths for your
feet, that that which is lame be not
turned out of the way, but rather be
healed.
Follow after peace with all men,
and the sanctification without
which no man shall see the Lord.

place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell His disciples.

And they departed quickly from

depart into Galilee, and there shaU

Thou foolish one, that which thou
thyself sowest is not quickened
except it die :
And that which thou sowest, thou
sowest not the body that shall be,
but a bare grain, it may chance of
wheat, or of some other kind ;
But God giveth it a body even as
it pleased Him, and to each seed a
body of its own.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but
there is one flesh of men, and another
flesh of beasts, and another flesh of
birds, and another of fishes.
There are also celestial bodies, and
bodies terrestrial; but the glory of
the celestial is one, and the glory
of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and
another glory of the moon, and an-
other glory of the stars; for one star
differeth from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the
dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption :
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in
glory: it is sown in weakness; it is
raised in power :
It is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body. If there
is a natural body, there is also a
spiritual body.

all shall not sleep, but we shall all
be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trum-
pet shall sound, and the dead shall
be raised incorruptible, and we shall
be changed.
For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortahty.
But when this corruptible shall have
put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then
shall come to pass the saying that
is written. Death is swallowed up in
victory.
O death, where is thy victory? O
death, where is thy sting?
The sting of death is sin; and the
power of sin is the law :
But thanks be to God, Who giveth
us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be
ye stedfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labor
is not vain in the Lord.

wilt Thou that we make ready?
And He said unto them, Behold, when
ye are entered into the city, there
shall meet you a man bearing a
pitcher of water; follow him into the
house whereinto he goeth.
And ye shall say unto the master of
the house, The Teacher saith unto
thee, Where is the guest-chamber,
where I shall eat the passover with
My disciples?
And he will show you a large upper
room furnished : there make ready.
And they went, and found as He
had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.
And when the hour was come. He
sat down, and the apostles with Him.
And He said unto them, With de-
sire I have desired to eat this pass-
. over with you before I suffer :
For I say unto you, I shall not eat it,
until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.
And He received a cup, and when
He had given thanks. He said.
Take this, and divide it among
yourselves :
For I say unto you, I shall not drink
from henceforth of the fruit of the
vine, until the kingdom of God shall
come.
And He took bread, and when He
had given thanks. He brake it, and
gave to them, saying. This is My
body which is given for you : this do
in remembrance of Me.
And the cup in like manner after
supper, saying. This cup is the new
covenant in My blood, even that
which is poured out for you.
Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life : he that cometh to Me
shall not hunger, and he that be-
Ueveth on Me shall never thirst.
This is the bread which cometh down
out of heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die.
I am the living bread which came
down out of heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for
ever: yea and the bread which I
will give is My flesh, for the life
of the world.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man
and drink His blood, ye have not life
in yourselves.
He that eateth My flesh and
drinketh My blood hath eternal
life ; and I will raise him up at the
last day.
For My flesh is meat indeed, and My
blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth My flesh and drink-
eth My blood abideth in Me, and
I in him.
As the living Father sent Me, and I
live because of the Father; so he
that eateth Me, he also shall live
because of Me.
This is the bread which came down
out of heaven: not as the fathers
ate, and died; he that eateth this
bread shall live for ever.

Who by His strength setteth fast
the mountains, being girded about

Who stilleth the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves, and the
tumult of the peoples.
They also that dwell in the utter-

Thou makest the outgoings of the
morning and evening to rejoice.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest
it. Thou greatly enrichest it; the
river of God is full of water: Thou
providest them grain, when Thou
hast so prepared the earth.
Thou waterest its furrows abun-
dantly; Thou settlest the ridges
thereof: Thou makest it soft with
showers ; Thou blessest the spring-

Thou crownest the year with Thy
goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.
They drop upon the pastures of the
wilderness ; and the hills are girded
with joy.
The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also- are covered over

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;
Praise thy God, O Zion.
For He hath strengthened the bars
of thy gates; He hath blessed thy
children within thee.
He maketh peace in thy borders;
He filleth thee with the finest of the
wheat.
He sendeth out His commandment
upon earth; His word runneth very
swiftly.
He giveth snow like wool; He
scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
He casteth forth His ice like morsels:
who can stand before His cold?
He sendeth out His word, and
melteth them: He causeth His
wind to blow, and the waters flow.
He showeth His word unto Jacob,
His statutes and His ordinances unto
Israel.
He hath not dealt so with any
nation; and as for His ordinances,
they have not known them. Praise

Isaiah xlii, li, lii
BEHOLD, My Servant, Whom I
uphold; My Chosen, in Whom
My soul delighteth: I have put My
Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth
justice to the Gentiles.
He will not cry, nor lift up His
voice, nor cause it to be heard in
the street.
A bruised reed will He not break,
and a dimly burning wick will He
not quench: He will bring forth jus-
tice in truth.
He will not fail nor be discouraged,
till He have set justice in the earth;
and the isles shall wait for His law.
Thus saith God Jehovah, He that
created the heavens, and stretched
them forth; He that spread abroad
the earth and that which cometh out
of it ; He that giveth breath unto the
people upon it, and spirit to them
that walk therein :
I, Jehovah, have called Thee in
righteousness, and will hold Thy
hand, and wiU keep Thee, and give
Thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles ;
To open the blind eyes, to bring out
the prisoners from the dungeon, and
them that sit in darkness out of the
prison-house.
I am Jehovah, that is My Name;
and My glory will I not give to
another, neither My praise unto
graven images.

Proverbs xx, xxin, Galatians v
WINE is a mocker, strong drink
a brawler; and whosoever err-
eth thereby is not wise.
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
who hath contentions? who hath
complaining? who hath wounds
without cause? who hath redness
of eyes?
They that tarry long at the wine ; they
that go to seek out mixed wine.
Look not thou upon the wine when
it is red, when it sparkleth in the
cup, when it goeth down smoothly:
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and
stingeth like an adder.
Thine eyes shall behold strange
things, and thy heart shall utter
perverse things.
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth
down in the midst of the sea, or as he
that lieth upon the top of a mast.
They have stricken me, shalt thou
say, and I was not hurt; they have
beaten me, and I felt it not: when
shall I awake? I will seek it yet
again.
But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh ; for these are contrary the one
to the other; that ye may not do
the things that ye would.
But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are
not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these : fornica-
tion, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,
jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions,
parties,
Envyings, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like ; of which I forewarn
you, even as I did forewarn you,
that they who practise such things

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,

Meekness, self-control; against

Proverbs ii, iii
Y son, if thou wilt receive my
M
words, and lay up my com-
mandments with thee;
So as to incline thine ear unto
wisdom, and apply thy heart to
understanding ;
Yea, if thou cry after discernment,
and lift up thy voice for under-
standing ;
If thou seek her as silver, and
search for her as for hid treasures :
Then shalt thou understand the fear
of Jehovah, and find the knowledge
of God.
For Jehovah giveth wisdom ; out of
His mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding :
He layeth up sound wisdom for the
upright ; He is a shield to them that
walk in integrity;
That He may guard the paths of
justice, and preserve the way of His
saints.
Then shalt thou understand right-
eousness and justice, and equity, yea,
every good path.
For wisdom shall enter into thy
heart, and knowledge shall be
pleasant unto thy soul ;
Discretion shall watch over thee;
understanding shall keep thee:
To deliver thee from the way of
evil, from the men that speak per-
verse things.
Happy is the man that findeth wis-
dom, and the man that getteth under-
standing.
For the gaining of it is better than
the gaining of silver, and the profit
thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and
none of the things thou canst desire
are to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand ;
in her left hand are riches and
honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that
lay hold upon her: and happy is
every one that retaineth her.

ascended into heaven; and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Al-

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy cathoUc Church; the Com-
