PREFACE.
Authorised Although various portions of Scripture have of late years
chanteerdmreIy been pointed for chanting, the Psalter itself, which, as its
name implies, was originally sung, with instrumental accompani-
ment, and which alone possesses historical, traditional, and ecclesiastical
precedent for being chanted, has hitherto, in churches using the Authorised
Version, been almost universally read. The only form in which until
quite recently the Psalms have been sung in those churches is that of
metrical versions. In such versions, however good, tha original suffers,
its dignity and breadth are impaired, or its Hebrew parallelisms are marred.
Indeed Metrical Psalmody, originating in Germany in the 15th century,
was probably derived from the earlier custom of turning into rhyme,
as an aid to the memories of Troubadours or Wandering Minstrels who
sang them, secular legends and myths ; and prior to the Reformation,
metrical versions do not seem to have been admitted into the Choral Service
pf the Church. It need hardly be urged in days of more enlightenment
that the so-called "prose" version of the Psalms is incomparably the more
poetical and beautiful ; and that as the original Hebrew was designed and
constructed by its -inspired authors for musical rendering, our translations
ought, whenever and wherever possible, to be chanted.
workCe this Our Bible Psalter according to the revision of King James, has
very rarely been pointed for chanting, and the present issue is an
attempt to meet a want now felt by supplying those who use that version with
its text so pointed, and with chants adapted to each Psalm ; and as special
adaptation had not been made for such public use, it is hoped that the book
may prove acceptable*
iv PREFACE.
S?and°f ^e *ast aat-horised version though on the whole closer to the
l535- original, -being less influenced by the Vulgate, lends itself less
well to pointing than the earlier version translated by Coverdale in 1535 for
the " Great Bible," (1540), of Henry VIII. and Edward VI.; and as that
earlier translation is the more poetical, it was preserved for daily use in the
English Prayer Book, as being " smoother and easier to sing," when in 1662
other portions of Scripture used in Divine service were made to conform to
the Revision of King James, which had gradually become authorised.
Pointing Owing to an absence of uniformity in the grouping both of
compromise. verses and 0f sentences or paragraphs, a uniform system of pointing
is obviously undesirable. To meet the many difficulties and irregularities a
system must to a certain extent be elastic and perhaps the main art of pointing
consists in making necessary compromises.
Double chants. \s regards Chants ancient and modern, in other words Single
and Double, — or, taking the two-verse Chant as the whole or developed
form, Half and Whole Chants — several reasons may be adduced in favour of the
latter. In the first place, antiphonal singing, obtained by separating a choir
into two complete portions, and by assigning to each choir alternate verses,
has from old time been found desirable. Its grand effect has been recognized
since its introduction, probably at Antioch early in the 4th century, its
encouragement by Chrysostom at Constantinople, by Ambrose in the Western,
and by Basil in the Eastern Churches ; and, to come to later times, in the
Cathedrals of the Reformed Church in England. A satisfactory Antiphon —
using the word in its more modern sense — ought to consist of a second and a
different strain musically confirming and responding to the first strain ; that
is, the melody should be proposed by one division of a choir, and should be
seconded or answered, not repeated, as in Half Chants, by the other
Their anti- division. Nothing conduces more to the good effect of Whole
phonal
character: Chants than attention to such antiphonal construction, whether
the answer is close, as on pages 1, 3, 24, 38, 39, 42, (2nd), 44, 47,
50, (1st), 79, 84, 112, 131, 134, 136 ; or contrapuntal, as on pages 6jt 100,
140, (2nd); or otherwise responsive, as on pages 102, 104, no, 125, 128,
and 142.
and their jn the second place, two verses can far oftener be grouped
two-verse
form. together than either one, three, or four verses ; and here again,
the more developed or two- verse Chant is obviously preferable.
PREFACE. V
Single Chants. jn Single Chants a musical close, or full stop, occurs after
every verse, which continually mars the sense, and if one of these Half Chants
be used for a long Psalm the result is tedious and monotonous. For although
a verse complete in itself is occasionally found, and, on the other hand, a
phrase or paragraph sometimes extends over three or four verses, these are
exceptional occurrences. Therefore both on the ground of antiphonal con-
struction and two- verse form, and it must be added on account of greater
musical interest, the Whole or Double has claims not possessed by the Half,
the Triple, or the Quadruple Chant.
Doiebieiochant3 ^n objection often urged against Double Chants is that the
met extensive compass of many of them renders their melodies uncon-
gregational. In this Psalter that objection is met, either by transposing to a
lower key melodies ascending above E flat, or, if the original key is retained,
by printing an alternative note in small type for voices of a low register by
which higher notes cannot be taken in the tuiison passages.
Advocates of the exclusive use of so-called Gregorian chants, the interest of
which is antiquarian rather than musical, are wont to assert that those old
melodies alone can be sung in unison. But the melody of a good Anglican
chant, whether single or double, may be, and ought occasionally to be sung
by the whole congregation. A continual use of vocal harmony only, or of
vocal melody only, is inefTective ; both rather should be employed in every
Psalm, for by such variety and interchange the fine contrast of the two uses is
fully brought out. By such an arrangement, adopted for the first time in
this work, the Psalms may be chanted according to either of the following
Three ways methods : — (i) The choir may sin^ harmonized verses the people
of using this & r r
Psalter. joining in the unison verses, — perhaps the nearest approxi-
mation to the original mode in the Temple, in which the majority
of the verses was sung by the Levites, with instrumental accompaniments
of their brother Levites, the people occasionally joining or responding, as the
Psalm required. Or, (2) harmonised, as well as unison passages, may
be chanted, by all who are able to sing in parts. Or, (3) the whole
congregation may join throughout in unison, according to the most ancient
use in the Christian Church, — at a time, albeit, when cultivation of music,
vocal or instrumental, was impossible to those who had to hide themselves in
dens and caves of the earth.
VI PREFACE.
To those who prefer eongregational chanting throughout, the last mode
suggested of using this Psalter may seem the most desirable, and for such use the
book will be found eminently suited, as it contains no chant which, with the
modifications suggested, may not be sung in unison by any person who has voice
and understands its management.
Old Melodies £ few specimens of old melodies, not in their usual modern dress,
and Single *
Chants. are introduced, and also some Half Chants. Most of the latter are
assigned to Psalm cxix., which being broken up into short divisions, as well
as for other reasons, seems less to require the musical illustration and anima-
tion obtained by the use of Whole Chants.
Pointing. Regarding the Pointing of this Psalter, it has been considered
that the less the type is disturbed the better. Indeed the only marks
necessary under this head are lines to show the bars, and a comma or
apostrophe to indicate the point of the subdivision of bars, when that point
might otherwise be equivocal.
Recited Chants consist of two distinct divisions : one portion is recited or
portion. x
chanted, the other portion is sung. The recited portion ought to
approach as nearly as possible to good monotoning, the words not hurried
over, but no stops or breaks made excepting those shewn by the punctuation.
A prevalent fault is to hesitate, although no stop occurs in the text, just before
the barred or strict time commences. This cacoethes has been encouraged by
two illusions of quite recent years — firstly, "imaginary bars," generally thus
indicated \ , supposed to exist before the real bars commence ; and secondly,
accentuation of some word before the real or musical accent can commence,
generally indicated by larger type, or sometimes by a downward stroke over
., Ima Lnar that word. These two ideas seem detrimental to good chanting, of
Bars."&c wnicri) perhaps, the chief point is smoothness in reciting, un-
disturbed and undistracted excepting by punctuation. A strong emphasis
whilst reciting on one note — answering to a sort of sforzando — so far from
adding to clearness and smoothness, injures both. The real accent cannot
commence before the real bar, previous to which, distinct enunciation, as in
good reading, and great care in punctuation should be the aims. If it be
necessary to call attention to some special point in reciting, this can be
indicated by the choirmaster, although, if the two points of excellence just
PREFACE. vii
mentioned are kept in view, it will be found, as in the ages before such
innovations as " imaginary " bars or accents, that good chanting is attainable
without misleading hieroglyphics.
Barred portion* Referring to the other portion sung in bars, sometimes called
Mediation and Ending, the lines correspond with the bars, thus: —
(Ps. ii.6.)Yet have I | set my | King ||uponmy| ho - ly | hill of | Zion.
In the case of three syllables in a bar : —
(A.) If they belong to the same word, the subdivision, or second minim
of the bar occurs where the second accent naturally falls in reading the word,
thus : —
-4-
$
3
(Ps. viii. 4.) And the son of man I that thou | visit - est | him.
Should there be any ambiguity as to the second accent or division of
syllables of a word, the comma ('), which, always indicates the point of sub-
division, is placed between the strong and the weaker accent, thus : —
'<&, 1 \-
(Ps. vii. 3.) Iftherebein- | iqui
my J hands.
(B.) If two of the three syllables form alone one of the words, the
division, as in the text, occurs between the two words : —
$
gg
=£
I
(Ps. ii. 4.) He that sitteth in the | heavens shall j laugh.
(C.) When three syllables in a bar are each different words, the
apostrophe marks the subdivision, thus : —
(Ps. i. 2.) But His delight is in the J law of ' the | Lord.
Or (verse 5), Therefore the ungodly shall not | stand ■ in the | judgment
Vlll
PREFACE.
In the rare case of three syllables in consecutive bars, a dactyllic effect is
obviated by variation of subdivision, thus : —
m
* r-
(Ps. xi. i.) How say ye to my soul | "Flee ' as a | bird to ' your | mountain?"
In the case of only one syllable in the bars of Mediation or Ending, both
minims, or their equivalent, are sung to that monosyllable, thus : —
m
^
i
(Ps. v. 2.) for unto
thee
will I [ pray.
$
=^=
zgz
Or (verse 10), for they have re- | belled a - | gainst I thee.
-I 1
f
3=2=
* J
Or (Ps. xciv. 5), and af
I flict
thine
heritage.
If the two minims happen to be the same note on the monosyllable, they
are, of course, sung as one semibreve, thus : —
P
=P=
=t
=t
(Ps. i. 1.) nor sitteth in the | seat j of
the
scornful.
m
Or (Ps. ii. 1), and the people i- | magine a | vain
I thing.
The interjection " O " is generally thus pointed when it occurs after a comma
in the second or ninth bar : —
#
=J=
Give ear unto my words,
Lord.
And also in other instances the punctuation influences the pointing thus •-
P
:fc
-r
(Ps. v. 2.) my King, | and my | God.
which without the comma might be pointed —
my I King and ' my | God.
PREFACE, IX
Contractions. jrour syllables are avoided in single bars unless contraction,
indicated by a horizontal line , is employed, for instance : —
For I have | called up ' on | thee || To be chanted— call'd up ' on | »
...not de- | liveredby | „ 8, delivered,
from the | power ' of the | grave || „ „ pow'r,
awake | psaltery and | harp || „ „ psalt'ry,
his | covenant for | ever || ,, „ cov'nant,
and the word "toward " always as one syllable.
Such contraction, one of the novelties in this Psalter, is as admissible when
benefitting the rhythm of the pointing, as when aiding the rhythm in metrical
Awkward versions. Tetrasyllabic compounds, under any circumstances most
awkward to sing, such as testimonies, innocency, tabernacles, adver-
saries, sanctuary, caterpillar, &c, are, as the lesser evil, not divided
when occurring in the double bars. Unimportant words, such as " upon "
and "unto," cause continual compromises, and were they changed in the
next authorised version to "on" and " to," unnecessary obstacles in pointing
would be lessened, as well as the text improved,— for example, " He shall
set me | up tip- | on a | rock ;" or to take a more glaring instance, in which,
by the real or musical accent falling upon the preposition instead of on
the verb, the invitation to '* | sing" to the | Lord" has to be falsely
accentuated "sing | unto the | Lord."
Unison In regard to other new arrangements in this book, the verses
to be chanted in unison (according to the "8-feet or 16-feet
diapason " of the vocal register possessed,) are indicated by brackets on the
left hand of the pages, and should be sung by the whole choir and congre-
gation. When the treble part is too high to be taken by altos and contraltos
in actual unison, those voices can sing in unison with tenors and basses, whose
unison must always be one octave below the melody. When consecutive
fourths occur between treble and alto in the vocal harmony, the inversion of
the melody in the unison passages may seem to cause corresponding fifths
between the alto part of the accompaniment and the lower octaves of
vocal unison. It may however be said, in reply to some rather hypercritical
objections which have been raised on this point, that if the instrumental parts
are supposed to cross, consecutive fifths only exist on paper : or
Varied accom-
paniments, the accompaniment may be changed, by which vocal unison may
be much enhanced. The introduction into this volume of many
X. PREFACE.
varied harmonies would have more than doubled its size, but a suggestion as
to what might in this way be done in accompanying Psalm lxxviii. is given
on page 70.
Transpositions If the original keys of some well known Chants are too high
and Altera- fa J °
tions. for unison-singing they are lowered ; and if melodies are vulgarised
by too many crotchets, or harmonies disfigured by awkward pro-
gressions which can have been so long tolerated only on the ground of use
and wont, such hindrances to smooth chanting have been removed, Two
notes in the melody in double bars, only tolerable when two or more syllables
there occur, have only in such cases been retained ; and dotted notes are
avoided in the melody on reciting notes. With such modifications, some chants,
for instance on page 86 or page 95, which, either from lack of taste in the
age in which they were made, or from gradual deterioration in melody as well
as in harmony, probably caused by reproduction in numberless collections,
have not undeservedly come under the ban of modern purists, — are here re-in-
troduced in a more devotional form, and in one which it is hoped their
composers would have approved had they lived in a rather later period when
views and tastes as to "Anglican " Chants have changed.
menfofPsSms Some Psalms require special treatment, e.g., xxiii., xxiv., pclii.,
and xliii., lxxviii., cvii., and exxxvii. At the 9th verse of Psalm
xxix., the 17th of lxxii., the nth of lxxiv., and the 37th and 52nd verses of
lxxxix., the second half of the chant is repeated for paragraph reasons. In all
2co£dtHaiflf otner Psaims with an uneven number of verses sung to Whole
of chants. Chants, excepting cvii., the second half of the chant is repeated at
the final verse. As in other pointed Psalters, it has been deemed inadvisable to
crowd the type by continual reminders of this important rule, but its ob-
servance may be secured by choirmasters at rehearsals.
" Doxoiogics." The ascription of praise which occurs at the end of each of the
five "books" into which the Hebrew Psalter is divided, namely, after Psalms
xli., lxxii, lxxxix., cvi., and cxlix., — cl. being throughout a doxology — is
printed in italics, implying that in chanting such verses all should join, like the
olu^wff1011 " consomes undarum fragor" of the Early Church. It may be
^"-Prayef10 added that both the selection of Chants and their adaptation to
psalms have been made from long and wide experience of those
which have most commended themselves in the principal "choirs and places
PREFACE. XI
where they sing" in the kingdom ; and also that the sequence of keys, &c, is
so arranged as to make this selection equally suitable to our older Bible version
printed in 1 539, and above referred to as having been ordered to be retained
for daily use in the " Booke of Common Prayer. ':
For courteous permission to reprint, the best thanks of Publishers and Editor
are due to Messrs. Mills & Co., Bond Street, for use of chants by Dr. Crotch ;
to Messrs. Novello, Ewer & Co., for those by Sir John Goss, Mr. Turle, Sir
George Elvey, and Dr. Wesley (Single in F sharp minor) ; to Miss Havergal,
for those by Rev. W. H. Havergal ; to Mr. Paul Rimbault, for that by Dr.
Rimbault ; to Sir George Elvey, for those by Dr. Stephen Elvey ; to Rev. F.
Wesley, for the Double Chants by Dr. Wesley ; and to Professor the Rev. Sir
Frederick A. Gore Ouseley, Bart., for one of his Single Chants.
Without such kind co-operation any collection of Chants would be imperfect ;
and although the Editor is well aware that all collections and systems of
pointing must be far from perfect, and also that any novelty of plan or system
is liable to engender mistrust, he earnestly hopes that, on its being fairly tried,
this Psalter may be found useful, and so, in some degree, may tend ad majorem
Dei gloriam.

Psalm i., and also iii. from verse 3,
A. Bennett.
f BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the un-
godly, nor standeth in the | way of | sinners, || nor sitteth in the | seat |
of the I scornful.
2 But his delight is in the | law of the | Lord; || and in his law doth
he I medi ' tate | day and | night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring-
eth forth his fruit | in his | season; || his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatso- I ever he | doeth shall | prosper.
p 4 The ungodly | are not | so : 1 1 but are like the chaff which the \
wind I driveth a- | way.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not | stand ' in the | judgment, || nor sin-
ners in the congre- | gation | of the | righteous.
/ 6 For the Lord knoweth the | way ' of the | righteous : 1 1 but the way
of the un- | god- | ly shall | perish.

f WHY do the | heathen | rage, || and the people i- | magine a | vain |
thing ?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take | counsel
to- I gether, [| against the Lord, and a- | gainst ' his an- | ointed, j saying,
3 ' ' Let us break their | bands a- | sunder, || and cast a- | way their j
cords I from us."
4 He that sitteth in the | heavens shall | laugh : |] the Lord shall | have
them I in de- | rision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them | in his | wrath, || and vex t: :m | in his
sore dis- | pleasure.
6 "Yet have I | set my \ king || upon my | holy | hill of | Zjon."
r^t— r
7 I will declare the decree : the Lord hath said | unto | me, || Thou art
my Son ; this j day have | I be- | gotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for | thine in- | heri-
tance, || and the uttermost parts of the | earth for | thy pos- | session.
9 Thou shalt break them with a | rod of | iron ; |] thou shalt dash them
in pieces | like a | potter's | vessel.
io Be wise now therefore, | O ye | kings : |j be instructed, ye | judges |
of the | earth.
p II Serve the | Lord with | fear, || and re- | joice with | tremb- | ling,
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when
his wrath is kindled | but a | little. || Blessed are all they that | put their J
trust in | him.
PSALM III.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
p LORD, how are they in- | creased that | trouble me ! || many are they
that | rise | up a- | gainst me,
2 Many there be which | say of ' my | soul, |[ There is no | help for |
him in | God.
/3 But thou, O Lord, art a | shield for | me ; || my glory, and the \
lifter | up of ' mine | head.
4 I cried unto the ] Lord ' with my | voice, || and he heard me | out
of his | holy | hill.
p S'l laid me | down and | slept; || / I awaked; | for the | Lord
sus- I tained me.
6.1 will not be afraid of ten | thousands of | people, || that have set
themselves a- | gainst me | round a- | bout.
7 Arise, O Lord ; save me, | O my | God : || for thou hast smitten all
mine enemies upon the cheek bone : thou hast broken the | teeth | of the '
un- | godly.
8 Salvation belongeth j unto the | Lord : || thy blessing | is up- | on thy |
people.
Psalms Lv. and v.
PSALM IV.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Dr. Cooke.
p HEAR me when I call, O | God ' of my | righteousness : || thou
hast enlarged me when I was in distress ; have mercy upon me, | and |
hear my | prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory | into | shame? ||
how long will ye love vanity, | and seek | after | leasing ?
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly | for him- |
self: || the Lord will | hear when ; I | call unto | him.
x i 4 Stand in | awe, and | sin not : 1 1 commune with your own heart
upon your | bed, | and be | still.
5 Offer the sacri- | fices of | righteousness, | [ and | put your | trust ' in
the | Lord.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us | any | good? || Lord,
lift thou up the light of thy | counte- | nance up- j on us.
7 Thou hast put gladness | in my | heart, || more than in the time
that their | corn ' and their | wine in- | creased.
8 I will both lay me down in | peace, and | sleep : || for thou, Lord,
only | makest me | dwell in | safety.
PSALM V.
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
;> GIVE ear to my words, | O | Lord, || con- I sider my | medi- | ration.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, | and my | God : ||
for unto | thee | will I | pray.
/ 3 My voice shalt " thou hear in the morning, | O | Lord ; | [ in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto | thee, and | will look | up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath | pleasure in | wickedness: ||
Lneither shall | evil | dwell with | thee.
5 The foolish shall not | stand in ' thy | sight : || thou hatest all | work-
ers | of in- | iquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy | them that ' speak | leasing ; || the Lord will abhor
the bloody | and de- | ceitful | man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude | of thy |
mercy ; || and in thy fear will I worship | toward thy | holy | temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness be- | cause of ' mine | ene-
mies ; 1 1 make thy way | straight be- | fore my | face.
9 For there is no faithfulness | in their | mouth ; || their inward part is
very wickedness ; their throat is an open sepulchre ; they | flatter | with
their | tongue.
io Destroy thou them, O God ; let them fall by their | own | counsels ; ||
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions ; for they have re- j
belled a- | gainst | thee.
ii But let all those that put their trust in | thee re- | joice : || let them ever
shout for joy, because thou defendest them : let them also that love thy |
name be | joyful in | thee.
12 For thou, Lord, wilt | bless the | righteous ; |j with favour wilt thou |
compass him | as ' with a | shield.

PSALM VI.
Tc rfie chief Musician, on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David,
Psalms vi. and vii. Dr. Crotch.
f p O LORD, rebuke me not | in thine | anger, || neither chasten me | in
thy | hot dis- | pleasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; | for 7 1 am | weak : || O Lord, heal
Lme : | for my | bones are | vexed.
3 My soul is also | sore | vexed : || but | thou, O | Lord, how | Ionfr *"
4 Return, O Lord, de- | liv ' er my | soul : || oh, save me | for thy |
i mercies' | sake.
5 For in death there is no re- | membrance of | thee : || in the grave | who
| shall | give thee | thanks ?
6 I am weary with my groaning ; all the night make I my | bed to |
Jswim ; || I | water my | couch ' with my | tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed be- | cause of | grief; || it waxeth old be- | cause
{of | all mine | enemies.
f 8 Depart from me, all ye workers | of in- | iquity ; || for the Lord hath |
heard the | voice of ' my | weeping.
f 9 The Lord hath heard my | suppli- | cation ; || the Lord | will re- |
| ceive my ] prayer.
io Let all mine enemies be ashamed and | sore j vexed : || let them return
l^and | be a- j shamed | suddenly.
PSALM VII.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
p O LORD my God, in thee do I I put my | trust : || save me from all
them that perse- | cute me, | and de- | liver me :
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending | it ' In. | pieces, || while j
^there is | none ' to de- | liver,
3 O Lord my God, if I have | done | this ; || if there be in- | iqui J ty | b\
my | hands ;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that | was at | peace with me ; || (yea, I
have delivered him that without | cause | is mine | enemy :)
5 Let the enemy peisecute my | soul, and | take it ; || yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine | honour | in the | dust.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the j rage ' of
mine | enemies : || and awake for me to the judgment | that thou | hast" com- i
inanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass | thee a- | bout : || for
their sakes therefore re- | turn | thou on | high-
8 The Lord shall | judge the | people : || judge me, O Lord, according to
my righteousness, and according to mine in- | tegri ' ty I that is I in me.
f 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end ; but e- | stablish
the | just :|| for the righteous God | trieth the | hearts and | reins.
10 My de- | fence Ms of | God, || which saveth the | up- | right in |
[heart.
11 God | judgeth the | righteous, || and God is angry with the | wicked |
every | day.
12 If he turn not, he will | whet his | sword ; || he hath bent his | bow and I
made it | ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instru- | ments of | death ; || he
ordaineth his arrows a- 1 gainst the | perse- | cutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth | with in- | iquity, || and hath conceived | mischief,
and I brought forth | falsehood.
f 15 He made a | pit, and | digged it, || and is fallen into the | ditch |
J which he | made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his | own | head, || and his violent
[^dealing shall come down up- | on his | own | pate.
/17 I will praise the Lord according | to his | righteousness : || and will sing
praise to the | name of ' the | Lord most | high.

Dr. Randall.
(* The notes In small type may be taken if the upper part is too high.)
/O I LORD our | Lord, || how excellent is thy name in all the earth !
who hast set thy | glory a | -bove the | heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength
be- I cause of ' thine | enemies, || that thou mightest still the |ene'my|
and ' the a- | venger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the | work of ' thy | fingers, || the moon and
the stars, | which thou | hast or- | dained ;
4 What is man, that thou art | mindful ' of | him ? || and the son of man, |
that thou I visit ' est | him ?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower | than the | angels, || and hast
crowned | him with | glory and | honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the | works of ? thy | hands ; ||
thou hast put | all things | under his | feet :
f 7 All I sheep and | oxen, || yea, | and the | beasts ' of the | field ;
8 The fowl of the air, and the | fish J of the | sea, || and whatsoever
^passeth | through the | paths ' of the | seas.

2 I will be glad and re- | joice in | thee : || I will sing praise to thy |
l^name, O | thou most | High.
3 When mine enemies are | turned | back, || they shall fall and | perish at |

Zion : || I will re- | joice in | thy sal- | vation.

/"I WILL | love | thee, || O | Lord, | my | strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer ; my God, my
strength, in | whom ' I will | trust ; || my buckler, and the horn of my salva-
_ tion, | and my | high | tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy | to be | praised : || so shall I be |
saved | from mine | enemies.
p 4 The sorrows of death | com ' passed | me, || and the floods of ungodly
men | made | me ' a- | fraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed | me a- | bout : || the | snares of | death
pre- | vented me.
cres. 6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried | unto my | God : ||
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, | even | into
his | ears.
f 7 Then the earth | shook and | trembled ; || the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, be- | cause | he was | wroth.
8 There went up a smoke | out ' of his | nostrils, || and fire out of his
mouth devoured : | coals were | kindled | by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, | and came | down : || and | darkness was |
under his | feet.
io And he rode upon a cherub, | and did
the | wings | of the | wind.
1 1 He made darkness his | secret | place ; |
were dark waters | and thick | clouds ' of the
12 At the brightness that | was be- j
hail stones ; and | coals of | fire.
13 The Lord also thundered | in the | heavens,
his voice ; | hail stones ' and | coals of | fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his | arrows, and | scattered them ;
^lightnings, | and dis- | comfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world
were discovered at thy rebuke, | O | Lord, || at the | blast ' of the | breath
of ' thy I nostrils.
16 He sent from a- | bove, he | took me, || he drew me | out of | many |
waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from | them which | hated
me : || for they were | too | strong | for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of | my ca- | lamity : || but the | Lord | is
my I stay,
fly : || yea, he did fly upon
I his pavilion round about him
I skies,
fore him || his thick clouds passed, |
and the Highest gave
and he shot out |
13
19 He brought me forth also into a | large | place ; jj he delivered me,
be- | cause' he de- | lighted | in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according | to my | righteousness ; || according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he | recom- | pensed | me.
21 For I have kept the | ways ' of the | Lord, || and have not wickedly
dc- | parted | from my | God.
22 For all his judgments | were be- | fore me, jj and I did not put a- | way
his | statutes | from me.
23 I was also up- | right be- | fore him, || and I kept my- | self from | mine
in- I iquity.
24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according | to my | righteous-
ness, || according to the cleanness of my | hands | in his | eyesight.
1" 25 With the merciful thou wilt | shew thy ' self | merciful ; || with an up-
right man | thou wilt | shew thy ' self | upright ;
26 With the pure thou wilt | shew thy ' self | pure ; || and with the fro-
(^ ward I thou wilt | shew thy ' self | froward.
27 For thou wilt save the af- | flicted | people ; || but | wilt bring | down
high I looks.
28 For thou wilt | light my | candle : || the Lord my | God ' will en- |
lighten my | darkness.
29 For by thee I have | run ' through a | troop ; || and by my God have I |
leaped | over a | wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect : the word of the | Lord is | tried : || he is
a buckler to all | those that | trust in | him.
f 31 For who is God | save the | Lord? || or who is a | rock save | our I
God?
32 It is God that girdeth | me with | strength, || and | maketh my |
(^ way I perfect.
33 He maketh my | feet like | hinds' feet, || and setteth me up- | on my |
high I places.
34 He teacheth my | hands to | war, || so that a bow of steel is | broken |
by mine | arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of | thy sal- | vation, || and thy right
hand hath holden me up, and thy gentle- | ness hath | made me | great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my | steps | under me, || that my | feet | did not ]
slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and | over- | taken them : || neither did I
turn again | till they | were con- | sumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not | able to | rise : || they are |
fallen | under my | feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength | unto the | battle : || thou hast
subdued under me | those that | rose up ' a- | gainst me.
40 Thou hast also given me the | necks ' of mine | enemies ; || that I might
de- I stroy | them that | hate me.
p 41 They cried, but there was | none to I save them : |j even unto the Lord, |
but he I answered them | not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust be- j fore the | wind : || I did
cast them out as the I dirt I in the I streets.
»4
mf 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people ; and thou
hast made me the | head ' of the | heathen : || a people whom I | have not |
known shall | serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, | they ' shall o- | bey me : || the strangers
shall sub- | mit them- | selves unto | me.
p 45 The strangers shall | fade a- | way, || and be afraid | out of ' their |
close | places.
f / 46 The Lord liveth ; and blessed | be my | rock ; || and let the God of
J my sal- | vation | be ex- | alted.
I 47 It is God I that a- | vengeth me, || and sub- | dueth the | people |
l^unto me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies : . yea, thou liftest me up above
those that rise | up a- | gainst me : || thou hast delivered me | from the |
violent | man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, a- | mong the |
heathen, || and sing | praises | unto thy | name.
50 Great deliverance giveth | he ' to his | king ; || and sheweth mercy to his
anointed, to David, and to his | seed for | ever- | more.

2 Thou hast given him his | heart's de- | sire, || and hast not withholden
Lthe re- | quest of | his | lips.

PSALM XXII.

Psalm xxii. (verses i — 21). T. Purcell.
pp MY God, my God, why hast | thou for- | saken me ? || why art thou
so far from helping me, and | from the | words of ' my | roaring ?
2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou | hearest | not ; || and in the
knight season, | and am | not | silent.
/3 But I thou art | holy, || O thou that inhabitest the | praises of | Isra- | el.
4 Our fathers | trusted in | thee : || they trusted, | and thou | didst de- |
liver them.
5 They cried unto thee, | and 'were de- | livered : || they trusted in thee, |
and were | not con- | founded.
p 6 But I am a worm, | and no j man ; [| a reproach of men, and de- |
spised I of the | people.
7 All they that see me | laugh me ' to | scorn : |j they shoot out the lip, they |
shake the | head | saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that | he' would de- | liver him : || let him deliver
him, seeing | he de- | lighted | in him.
C fg But thou art he that took me | out of ' the | womb : || thou didst make
j me hope when I was up- | on my | mother's | breasts.
10 I was cast upon | thee ' from the | womb : || thou art my | God ' from
1 my I mother's | belly.
/ n Be not far from me ; for | trouble is | near ; || for | there is | none to
help.
12 Many bulls have ] compassed | me : || strong bulls of Bashan | have be-
set me I round.
13 They gaped upon me | with their | mouths, || as a ravening | and a
roaring | lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are | out of | joint : || my
heart is like wax ; it is melted in the | midst | of my | bowels.
1 5 My strength is dried up like a potsherd ; and my tongue cleaveth | to my
jaws : || and thou hast brought me j into the | dust of | death.
16 For dogs have compassed me : the assembly of the wicked | have in-
closed me : || they | pierced my | hands ' and my | feet.
17 I may tell | all my | bones : || they | look and | stare up- | on me.
18 They part my | garments a- | mong them, || and cast | lots up- | on my
vesture.
cres 19 But be not thou far from me, | O | Lord ; || Q my strength, | haste
thee to I help me.
20 Deliver my | soul ; from the | sword \ || my darling from the ] power | of

the
/The Lord is my light and my salvation ; | whom ' shall I | fear ?
Lord is the strength of my life ; of | whom ' shall I | be a- ] fraid ?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to |
[ eat up ' my | flesh, || they | stum- | bled and | fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart | shall not | fear : ||
though war should rise against me, in | this will | I be | confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I | seek | after ; || that I
may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty
of the Lord, and to en- | quire in | his | temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in | his pa- | vilion : || in
the secret of his tabernacle shall lie hide me ; he shall set me | up up- | on a |
rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies | round a- j
bout me : || therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy ; I -will sing,
yea, I will sing J praises | unto the | Lord,
p 7 Hear, O Lord, when I | cry ' with my | voice : || have mercy also upon
me, | and | answer | me.
8 When thou saidst, | Seek ye ' my | face ; || my heart said unto thee, |
Thy face, | Lord, ' will I | seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me ; put not thy servant a- | way in | anger : ||
thou hast been my help ; leave me not, neither forsake me, O | God of | my
sal- | vation.
io When my father and my | mother for- | sake me, || then the | Lord will I
take me | up.
1 1 Teach me thy way, | O | Lord, || and lead me in a plain | path, be- !
cause of ' mine | enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the | will of ' mine | enemies : || for false wit-
nesses are risen up against me, and | such as | breathe out | cruelty.
13 I | had J fainted, || unless I had believed to see the goodness of the |
Lord ' in the | land of ' the | living.
f f 14 Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall | strengthen
(^thine | heart : || wait, I | say, | on the | Lord.
PSALM XXVIII.
A Psalm of David.
p UNTO thee will I cry, O | Lord my | rock ; || be not silent to me : lest
if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go | down | in ' to the | pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I | cry unto | thee, || when I
lift up my hands | toward thy | holy | oracle.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers | of in- |
iquity, || which speak peace to their neighbours, but | mischief | is ' in their j
hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of |
their en- | deavours : || give them after the work of their hands ; | render to |
them ' their de- | sert.
5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of | his |
hands, || he shall destroy them, | and not | build them | up.
/ 6 Blessed | be the | Lord, [| because he hath heard the | voice of ' my I
suppli- I cations.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield ; my heart trusted in him, J
and ' I am I helped : || therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth ; and with my I
song I will I I praise him.
8 The Lord | is their | strength, || and he is the saving | strength of | his
^a- I nointed.

lift them | up for | ever.

PSALM XXX.
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
Psalm xxx., and xxxi. from verse 19. Rev. R. P. Goodenough.
f / I WILL extol thee, | O j Lord ; || for thou hast lifted me up, and hast
I not made my | foes ' to re- | joice | over me.
^ 2 O Lord my God, I cried | unto | thee, || and | thou hast | healed | me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my | soul ' from the | grave : || thou hast
kept me alive, that I should | not go | down ' to the | pit.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye | saints of | his, j| and give thanks at the re- j
..membrance I of his I holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment ; in his | favour is | life : || weeping
may endure for a night, but | joy cometh | in the | morning.
6 And in my pros- | perity I | said, || I shall | never be | mo- j ved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to | stand | strong : |[
p thou didst hide thy | face, and | I was | troubled.
8 I cried to thee, | O | Lord ; [| and unto the | Lord I | made suppli- |
cation.
9 " What profit is there in my blood, when I go j down ' to the | pit ? ||
Shall the dust praise thee ? Shall | it de- | clare thy | truth ?
io Hear, O Lord, and have | mercy up- | on me : || Lord, | be | thou my j
helper."
f 1 1 Thou hast turned for me my mourning | into | dancing : || thou hast
put off my sackcloth, and | girded | me with | gladness ;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and | not be |
V silent. |l O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto | thee for | e- | ver.
PSALM XXXI.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Psalm xxxi., to verse 18. (Minor.)
p IN thee, O Lord, do I put my trust ; let me never J be a- | shamed :
de- | liver me | in thy | righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me ; dc- | liver me | speedily : || be thou my
^strong rock, for an | house of ' de- | fence to | save me.
3 For thou art my | rock ' and my | fortress ; || therefore for thy | name's
sake | lead me, ' and \ guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid | privily | for me : || for | thou j
art my | strength.
pp 5 Into thine hand I com- | mit my | spirit : || thou hast redeemed me, |
O Lord | God of | truth.
6 I have hated them that regard | lying | vanities ; || / but I | trust | in
the I Lord.
25
7 I will be gtad and re- | joice in } thy | mercy : || for thou hast considered
my trouble ; thou hast | known my | soul 5 in ad- | versities ;
8 And hast not shut me up into the | hand ' of the | enemy : || thou hast
set my | feet ' in a | large | room.
/ 9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I | am in | trouble : || mine eye is
consumed with grief, | yea, my [ soul ' and my | belly.
io For my life is spent with grief, and my | years with | sighing : || my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, | and my | bones ' are con- | sumed.
ill was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my
neighbours, and a fear to | mine ac- | quaintance : |l they that did see me
with- | out | fled | from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man | out of | mind : [] I am | like a | broken |
vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many : fear was on | every | side : ||
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to | take a- | way
my I life.
/14 But I trusted in thee, | O | Lord : j| I said, | Thou | art my | God.
15 My times are in | thy | hand : || deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from | them that | perse- | cute me.
16 Make thy face to shine up- | on thy | servant : || save me | for thy |
^.mercies' | sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord ; for I have | called up ' on | thee : ||
let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be | silent | in the | grave.
18 Let the lying lips be | put to | silence ; || which speak grievous things
proudly and contemptuously a- | gainst the | right- | eous.
(Major.)
/19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for | them
that I fear thee ; || which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee be- |
fore the | sons of j men !
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the | pride of I
man : || thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion | from the | strife of |
tongues.
21 Blessed | be the | Lord : || for he hath shewed me his marvellous kind-
ness I in a I strong | city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from be- | fore thine | eyes : ||
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I | cried | unto |
thee.
23 O love the Lord, all [ ye his | saints : || for the Lord preserveth the
faithful, and plentifully re- | wardeth the j proud | doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall | strengthen your | heart, l| all | ye
that I hope in ' the | Lord.

A Psalm of David, Maschil.

* The small notes may be omitted at verses 5, 6, 8, & 9.
f BLESSED is he whose transgression | is for- | given, || whose | sin is I
I cover- I ed.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth | not in- | iquity, || and
I in whose | spirit ' there is [ no | guile.
3 When I I kept | silence, || my bones waxed old through my | roaring | all
the ' day | long.
4 For day and night thy hand was | heavy up- | on me : || my moisture is
turned | into the | drought of | summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity | have I ' not | hid. ||
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord ; and thou forgavest the
in- I iquity | of my | sin.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou j
mayest be | found : || surely in the floods of great waters they shall not | come
nigh I unto | him.
f 7 Thou art my hiding place ; thou shalt pre- | serve me ' from |
I trouble ; || thou shalt compass me a- | bout with | songs ' of de- | liverance.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which | thou shalt J go ; |j
[ I will I guide thee | with mine | eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no \ under- | stand-
ing ; || whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, | lest they | come
near | unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall | be ' to the | wicked : || but he that trusteth in the
Lord, mercy shall | compass | him a- | bout.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and re- | joice, ye | righteous : || and shout for joy.
all ye | that are | upright in | heart.

PSALM XXXIII.
(Or in D flat.)
Randall.
t The small notes may be taken by those who find the upper notes too high.
r /REJOICE in the Lord, | O ye | righteous : [| for praise is | comely | foi
i the | upright.
2 Praise the ] Lord with | harp : |j sing unto him with the psaltery and
t an instru- | ment of | ten | strings.
3 Sing unto him a | new | song ; [( play skilfully | with a | loud | noise.
4 For the word of the | Lord is | right ; || and all his | works are | done in |
truth.
5 He loveth righteous- | ness and j judgment : [I the earth is full of the |
goodness | of the | Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the | heavens | made ; || and all the host of
ihem by the | breath of | his | mouth.
7 He gathered the waters of the sea together | as an | heap : || he layeth
up the | depth in | store- | houses.
8 Let all the earth | fear the | Lord : || let all the inhabitants of the world |
stand in | awe of | him.
9 For he spake, | and ' it was | done ; || he commanded, | and it | stood '
fast.
io The Lord bringeth the counsel of the | heathen to | nought : || he
[ maketh the devices of the | people of | none ef- | feet.
1 1 The counsel of the Lord | standeth for | ever, ty the thoughts of his heart
to | all | gene- | rations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose | God ' is the j Lord : || and the people
whom he hath chosen | for his [ own in- | heritance.
13 The Lord | looketh from | heaven ; || he beholdeth | all the | sons of |
men.
14 From the place of his | habi- | tation || he looketh upon all the in- |
habi ' tants j of the | earth.
15 He fashioneth their | hearts a- | like ; || he con- | sider ' eth | all their |
works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude | of an | host : || a mighty man
is not de- | livered by | much | strength.
17 An horse is a | vain thing ' for | safety : || neither shall he deliver any | by
his I great | strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon | them that ( fear him, || upon |
them that | hope in ' his | mercy ;
19 To deliver their j soul from | death, || and to | keep them ' a- | live in j
famine.
(" 20 Our soul waiteth | for the | Lord : || he is our | help | and our | shield.
21 For our heart shall re- | joice in | him, || because we have trusted in |
this I holy | name.
p 22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, | be up- | on us, || according | as we | hope
in I thee.
PSALM XXXIV.
A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech ; who drove
him away, and he departed.
I
f I WILL bless the | Lord at | all times : || his praise shall con- | tinual '
ly | be ' in my | mouth.
2 My soul shall make her | boast ' in the | Lord : || the humble shall hear
there- | of, | and be | glad.
3 O magnify the | Lord with | me, f| and let us ex- | alt his | name to- |
, gether.
4 I sought the Lord, | and he | heard me, || and delivered | me from | all
my | fears.
5 They looked unto him, | and were | lightened : || and their | faces were |
not a- | shamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the | Lord | heard him, [| and saved him | out
of | all his | troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about | them that | fear him, ||
and | . . . . de- | livereth | them.
8 O taste and see that the | Lord is | good : || blessed is the | man that ]
trusteth in | him.
9 O fear the Lord, | ye his I saints : || for there is no | want to | them that I
fear him.
io The young lions do lack, and | suffer | hunger : || but they that seek the
Lord shall not want | any | good | thing.
n Come, ye childreri, hearken | unto | me : || I will teach you the | fear |
of the | Lord.
12 What man is he that de- 1 sireth | life, || and loveth many days, [ that ' he
may | see | good?
13 Keep thy | tongue from | evil, || and thy | lips from | speaking | guile.
14 Depart from evil, | and do | good ; || seek | peace, | and pur- | sue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are up- | on the | righteous, || and his ears are |
open I unto their | cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against | them that ' do | evil, || to cut off the
re- I membrance of | them ' from the | earth.
1 7 The righteous cry , and the | Lord | heareth, || and delivereth them | out
of I all their | troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a | broken | heart ; || and saveth
such as I be ' of a I contrite | spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions | of the | righteous : || but the Lord de- | livereth
him I out of ' them | all.
20 He keepeth | all his | bones : || not | one of | them is | broken.
21 Evil shall | slay the | wicked : || and they that hate the | righteous | shall
be I desolate.
22 The Lord redcemeth the | soul of ' his | servants : || and none of them
that I trust in I him ' shall be I desolate.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek | after my | soul : ||

5 Let them be as chaff be- | fore the | wind : || and let the angel of the |
Lord | chase | them.
6 Let their way be | dark and | slippery ; || and let the angel of the | Lord |

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares ; and let his net that he hath
hid | catch him- | self: || into that very de- | struction | let him | fall.
/9 And my soul shall be joyful | in the | Lord : || it shall re- | joice in |

12 They rewarded me | evil for | good || to the | spoiling | of my | soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my | clothing was | sackcloth: ||
I humbled my soul with fasting ; and my prayer returned | into mine I own I
bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my | friend or | brother : ||
I bowed down heavily, as one that | mourneth | for his | mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered them- | selves to- !

knew it not ; they did | tear me, ' and | ceased | not :
16 With hypocritical I mockers in I feasts, [j they gnashed up- I on me I with

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
Psalm xxxvi. (Major.)
mf THE transgression of the wicked saith with- | in my | heart,
there is no fear of | God be- | fore his | eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his | own | eyes, || until his iniquity be |
. found I to be | hateful .
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity j and de- | ceit : || he hath left off to
be I wise, ' and to | do | good.
4 He deviseth mischief up- | on his | bed ; || he scttcth himself in a way
that is not good ; | he ab- | horreth not | evil.

f / 5 Thy mercy, O Lord, | is ' in the | heavens ; j| and thy faithfulness i
J reacheth | unto the | clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains ; thy judgments are a j
I great | deep : || O Lord, thou pre- | servest | man and | beast.
7 Plow excellent is thy lovingkindness, | O | God : || therefore the children
of men put their trust under the | shadow of | thy | wings.
S They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of | thy | house ; |) and
thou shalt make them drink of the | river of | thy | pleasures.
9 For with thee is the | fountain of | life : || in | thy light | shall we '
see | light.
io O continue thy lovingkindness unto | them that | know thee ; || and
- thy righteousness | to the | upright in | heart.
1 1 Let not the foot of pride | come a- | gainst me, || and let not the | hand '
of the | wicked re- | move me.
12 There are the workers of in- | iquity | fallen : || they are cast down, and j

and I heard my | cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the | miry | clay, ||
and set my feet upon a rock, | and e- | stablished my | goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise | unto our | God : ||
many shall see it, and fear, | and shall | trust J in the | Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the | Lord his | trust, || and respecteth
not the proud, nor such as | turn a- | side to | lies.
* 5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done,
and thy thoughts which | are to | us-ward : || they cannot be reckoned up in
order unto thee : if I would declare and speak of them, they are | more than |
can be | numbered.
* 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire ; mine | ears hast ' thou |
opened : || burnt offering and sin offering | hast thou | not re- | quired.
7 Then said I, | Lo, I | come : || in the volume of the | book ' it is !
written | of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, | O my | God : || yea, thy | law ' is with- | in
vmy I heart.
* 9 I have preached righteousness in the great | congre- | gation : || lo, I
have not refrained my lips, | O | Lord, thou | knowest.
* 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart ; I have declared
thy faithfulness and | thy sal- | vation : || I have not concealed thy loving-
kindness and thy truth from the | great | congre- | gation.
rp 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, | O | Lord : || let thy
j lovingkindness and thy truth con- | tinu ' al- | ly pre- | serve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about : mine iniquities have
taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to | look | up : || they are more
^than the hairs of mine head : | therefore my | heart | faileth me.
* 13 Be pleased, O Lord, | to de- | liver me : || O | Lord, make | haste to J
help me.
* 14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my j
soul ' to de- I stroy it ; || let them be driven backward and put to | shame
that j wish me | evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a re- | ward of ' their | shame || that say unto |
me, " A- I ha, a- | ha."
C 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be | glad in | thee : || let such
las love thy salvation say continually, "The | Lord be | magni- | fied."

2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and | plantedst |

their | own arm | save them : || but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light
of thy countenance, because thou | hadst a | favour | unto them.

will we tread them under that | rise | up a- | gainst us.

PSALM LXVIII.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.
J. Tukle (from Purcexl).
r f LET | God a- | rise, || let his enemies be scattered : let them also
that | hate him | flee be- | fore him.
| 2 As smoke is driven away, so | drive them ' a- | way : || as wax melteth
Lbefore the fire, so let the wicked perish | at the | presence of | God.
3 But let the righteous be glad ; let them re- | joice be ' fore | God : || yea,
let them ex- | ceeding- | ly re- | joice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to | his | name : || extol him that rideth upon
the heavens by his name | J AH, ' and re- | joice be- | fore him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a | judge ' of the | widows, || is God in
his | holy | habi- | tation.
6 God setteth the solitary in families : he bringeth out those which are |
bound with | chains : || but the rebellious | dwell in ' a | dry j land.
- 7 O God, when thou wentest forth be- | fore thy | people, || when | thou
didst | march ' through the | wilderness ;
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the | presence of | God: ||
..even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the | God of | Isra- | el.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a | plenti ' ful | rain, || whereby thou didst con-
firm thine in- | heritance, | when ' it was | weary.
io Thy congregation hath | dwelt there- | in : || thou, O God, hast prepared
of thy j goodness | for the | poor.
C II The Lord | gave the | word : || great was the company of | those
I that | pub ' lished | it.
12 Kings of armies did | flee a- | pace : || and she that tarried at | home
Ldi- | vided the | spoil.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a
dove I covered with | silver, || and her | feathers with | yellow | gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered | kings in | it, || it was | white as | snow
in I Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the | hill of | Bashan ; || an high hill | as the | hill
of I Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God de- | sireth to |
dwell in ; || yea, the Lord will | dwell in | it for | ever.
- ff 17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even | thousands of |
angels : || the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, j in the | holy | place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive : thou
hast received | gifts for | men ; || yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord |
I God might | dwell a- 1 mong them.

Lord be- | long the | issues from | death.
21 But God shall wound the | head of ' his | enemies,
of such an one as | goeth on | still ' in his | trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring a- | gain from | Bashan,
people again | from the | depths ' of the | sea :
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the | blood of ' thine |
the I tongue of ' thy | dogs ' in the | same.
24 They have seen thy goings, | O | God ; || even the goings of my
my I King, ' in the | sanctuary.
f 25 The singers went before, the players on instruments j followed |
I after ; || among them were the | damsels | play ' ing with | timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the | congre- | gations, || even the Lord, from the )
(^fountain of f Isra- | el.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah j and
their | council, || the princes of Zebulun, | and the | prin ' ces of | Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath com- | manded thy
that which | thou hast ' wrought | for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Je- | rusa- |
unto I thee.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the
calves of the people, till every one submit himself with | pieces of j silver : ||
scatter thou the people | that de- | light in | war.
31 Princes shall | come out ' of | Egypt ; || Ethiopia shall soon | stretch
out ' her | hands unto | God.
ff 32 Sing unto God< ye kingdoms | of the | earth ; || O sing | praises I
unto the | Lord ;
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which | were of |
_old ; || lo, he doth send out his voice, and | that a | mighty | voice.
34 Ascribe ye | strength unto | God : || his excellency is over Israel, and
his I strength is | in the | clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy | holy | places : || the God of

1 clean I heart.

fi 2 But as for me, my feet were \ almost | gone ; || my | steps had |
well nigh | slipped.
3 For I was envious | at the | foolish, || when I saw the pros- | perity | of
the I wicked.
4 For there are no bands in | their | death : || but | their | strength is |
firm.
5 They are not in trouble as | other | men .; || neither are they | plagued
like I other | men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about | as a | chain ; || violence | covereth |
them ' as a | garment.
7 Their eyes stand | out with [ fatness : || they have | more than | heart
could j wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly con- | cerning op- | pression : |l
they 1 speak | lofti- | ly.
9 They set their mouth a- | gainst the | heavens, || and their tongue |
walketh | through the | earth.
10 Therefore his people re- | turn | hither : || and waters of a full | cup
are | wrung out | to them.
11 And they say, " How doth | God | know? || and is there | know-
ledge I in the ' most | High ? "
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper | in the | world : || they
^ in- I crease in | rich- | es.
13 Verily I have cleansed my | heart in j vain, || and | washed my | hands
in I innocency.
14 For all the day long have | I been | plagued. || and | chasten ' ed I
eve ' ry | morning.
65
15 If I say, I will | speak | thus ; || behold, I should offend against the
gene- | ration | of thy | children.
16 When I I thought to | know this, || it | was too | painful | for me ;
17 Until I went into the sanctu- | ary of | God; || then | under- | stood
I ' their | end.
iS Surely thou didst set them in | slippery | places : || thou castedst them j
down I into de- | struction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, | as ' in a | moment ! || they arc
utterly con- | sum- | ed with | terrors.
20 As a dream | when ; one a- | waketh ; || so, O Lord, when thou
awakest, | thou ' shalt de- | spise their | image.
21 Thus my | heart was | grieved, || and I was | pricked | in my | reins.
22 So foolish I was I, ' and | ignorant ; || I was | as a | beast be- | fore
thee.
- f 23 Nevertheless I am con- | tinual ' ly | with thee : || thou hast holden
me I by my | right | hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me | with thy | counsel, || and afterward re- J
ceive | me ; to | glory.
25 Whom have I in | heaven but | thee ? || and there is none upon earth
that I de- | sire be- | side | thee.
26 My flesh and my | heart | faileth : || but God is the strength of my
Lheart, | and my | portion for | ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from | thee shall | perish : || thou hast de-
stroyed all them that | go a | whoring | from thee.
28 Cut it is good for me to draw | near to | God : || I have put my trust in
the Lord God, that I may de- | clare | all thy | works.

6 But now they break down the carved | work there- | of || at | once with \
axes and | hammers.
7 They have cast fire | into thy j sanctuary, ]| they have defiled by casting
down the dwelling place of thy | name | to the | ground.
8 They said in their hearts, " Let us de- | stroy them ' to- | gether : " ||
they have burned up all the synagogues of | God | in the | land.
9 We see not our signs : there is no more | any | prophet : || neither is
there among us | any that j knoweth how | long.
10 O God, how long shall the adver- | sary re- | proach? || shall the enemy
bias- | pheme thy | name for | ever ?
{Repeat -2nd half 'of 'chant .)
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, | even ' thy | right hand? || pluck it |
out | of thy | bosom.
/ 12 For God is my | King of | old, || working salvation | in the | midst '
of the | earth.
13 Thou didst divide the | sea by ' thy | strength : || thou brakest the
heads of the | dragons | in the | waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of le- | viathan ' in | pieces, || and gavest him
to be meat to the people in- | habit- | ing the | wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain | and the | flood : || thou | driedst up |
mighty | rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night | also is | thine : || thou hast pre- | pared
.the I light ' and the | sun.
67
17 Thou hast set all the borders | of the | earth : jj thou hast | made | sum
mer and | winter.
iS Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, | O | Lord, || and that
the foolish people | have bias- | phemed thy | name.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude | of the |
wicked : || forget not the congregation | of thy | poor for | ever.
20 Have respect | unto the | covenant : !| for the dark places of the earth
are full of the | habi- | tations of | cruelty.
_2i O let not the oppressed re- | turn a- | shamed : || let the poor and I
needy | praise thy | name.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine | own | cause : || remember how the foolish |
man re- | proacheth thee | daily.

IN Judah is | God | known : [| his name is | great in | Isra- | el.
2 In Salem also | is his | tabernacle, || and his | dwelling | place in |
Zion.
3 There brake he the arrows | of the | bow, || the shield, and the |
sword, | and the | battle.
4 Thou art more glorious and | excel- | lent || than the | moun- | tains of |
V.prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have | slept their | sleep ; f| and none
of the men of | might have | found their | hands,
* 6 At thy rebuke, O | God of | Jacob, || both the chariot and horse are
cast | into a | dead | sleep,
f _ 7 Thou, even thou, | art to ' be | feared : [| and who may stand in thy |
| sight when | once ' thou art | angry ?
I 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be | heard from | heaven ; || the earth |
Lfeared, | and was | still,
9 When God a- | rose to | judgment, || to save | all the | meek ' of the |
earth.
io Surely the wrath of | man shall | praise thee : || the remainder of | wrath
shalt | thou re- | strain.
1 1 Vow, and pay unto the | Lord your | God : || let all that be round about
him bring presents unto | him that | ought to ' be | feared.
12 He shall cut off the | spirit of | princes : || he is terrible to the I kings I
of the I earth.

PSALM L X X V I I I .
Maschil of Asaph.
f GIVE ear, O my people, | to my | law : || incline your ears to the | words | of my |
mouth.
2 I will open my | mouth ' in a | parable : [] I will utter | dark | sayings of | old :
3 Which we have | heard and | known, || and our | fa- | thers have | told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the
vpraises | of the | Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful | works that | he hath | done.
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a lav/ in | Isra- | el, || which he
commanded our fathers, that they should make them | known to | their j children :
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which | should be |
born : |j who should arise and de- | clare them ' to | their | children :
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the | works of | God, || but | keep I
his com- I mandments :
8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious | gene- | ration ; || a gene-
ration that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit | was not | stedfast with | God.
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and | carrying | bows, || turned | back ' in the |
day of j battle.
10 They kept not the | covenant of | God, || and refused to | walk in | his | law ;
11 And for- | gat his | works, [! and his | wonders | that ' he had | shewed them.
ff 12 Marvellous things did he in the | sight of ' their | fathers, || in the land of Egypt, j
in the | field of | Zoan.
/ 13 He divided the sea, and caused them to | pass | through; |J and he made the |
waters to ] stand ' as an | heap.
14 In the daytime also he led them J with a | cloud, || and all the | night ' with a |
light of I fire.
15 He clave the | rocks ' in the | wilderness, || and gave them drink as j out ' of the j
great | depths.
16 He brought streams also | out ' of the | rock, || and caused waters to | run | down
1 like I rivers.
p 17 And they sinned yet j more a- | gainst him || by provoking the most | High | in
the I wilderness.
18 And they tempted [ God ' in their | heart j| by asking | meat | for their | lust.
19 Yea, they spake a- | gainst | God ; || they said, " Can God furnish a | table | in the |
wilderness ?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams | over- j
flowed ; \ can he give bread also ? can he provide | flesh | for his | people ? "

C f 21 Therefore the Lord heard this, | and was | wroth : || so a fire was

not I his I testimonies :
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully | like their | fathers : || they were
turned aside | like a ' de- | ceitful | bow.
58 For they provoked him to anger with their | high | places, || and moved
him to jealousy | with their | graven | images.
59 When God heard this, | he was | wroth, || and greatly ab- | horred j
Isra- I el :
60 So that he forsook the taber- | nacle of | Shiloh, || the tent | which he |
placed a ' mong | men ;
pp 61 And delivered his strength | into cap- | tivity, || and his glory | into

PSALM LXXIX.
A Psalm of Asaph.
H. Skeats.
p O GOD, the heathen are come into | thine in- | heritance ; || thy holy
temple have they defiled ; they have laid Je- | rusa- | lem on | heaps.
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the |
Lfowls ' of the | heaven, || the flesh of thy saints unto the | beasts | of the | earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Je- | rusa- | lem ; ||
and | there was | none to | bury them.
4 We are become a re- | proach ' to our | neighbours, || a scorn and
derision to them | that are | round a- | bout us.
/ 5 How long, Lord ? wilt thou be | angry for | ever ? || shall thy |
jealous ' y | burn like | fire ?
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that | have not | known thee, ||
and upon the kingdoms that have not | called up- | on thy | name.
7 For they have de- | voured | Jacob, || and laid | waste his | dwelling | place.
/ 8 O remember not against us | former in- | iquities : || let thy tender
mercies speedily prevent us : for we are | brought | very | low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name : | and de- |
liver us, || and purge away our sins, | for thy | name's | sake.
io Wherefore should the heathen say, | Where is ' their | God? || let him
be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of
thy | servants | which is | shed.
(" ii Let the sighing of the prisoner | come be- | fore thee ; || according to
the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that | are ap- 1 pointed to | die.
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom | their re- |
Lproach, || wherewith they have re- | proached | thee, O | Lord.
f 13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee | thanks for |
ever : || we will shew forth thy praise to | all | gene- | rations.

6 "I removed his shoulder | from the | burden : || his hands were de- |

PSALM LXXXV.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
r / LORD, thou hast been favourable | unto thy | land : || thou hast
brought back the cap- | tivi- | ty of | Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity | of thy | people, || thou hast | cov
v er ' ed | all their | sin.
3 Thou hast taken away | all thy | wrath : [| thou hast turned thyself from
the | fierceness | of thine j anger.
p 4 Turn us, O God of | our sal- | vation, || and cause thine | anger
toward | us to | cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with | us for | ever ? || wilt thou draw out thine
anger to | all | gene- | rations ?
6 Wilt thou not re- | vive ' us a- | gain : || that thy people | may re- j joice
in | thee ?
7 Shew us thy mercy, | O | Lord, || and | grant us | thy sal- | vation.
8 I will hear what God the | Lord will | speak : || for he will speak
peace unto his people, and to his saints : but let them not | turn a- | gain
to | folly.
f 9 Surely his salvation is nigh | them that | fear him ; || that | glory may j
dwell in ' our | land.
io Mercy and truth are | met to- | gether ; || righteousness and | peace

11 Truth shall spring | out ' of the | earth; j| and righteousness shall |

12 Yea, the Lord shall give | that ' which is | good ; || and our | land shall I
yield her | increase.

f f, and slow. LORD, thou hast been our | dwelling | place || in | all |
gene- | rations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
the | earth ' and the | world, || even from everlasting to ever- | lasting, |
thou art | God.
p 3 Thou turnest | man ' to de- | struction ; || and sayest, Re- | turn,
ye | children of | men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday | when it '
is | past, || and | as a | watch ' in the | night.
5 Thou earnest them away as with a flood ; they are ] as a | sleep : ||
in the morning they are like | grass which | groweth | up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and | groweth | up ; || in the evening it
is | cut | down, and | witheretb.
r* 7 For we are consumed | by thine | anger, || and by thy | wrath | are
we | troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniqui- 1 ties be- | fore thee, || our secret | sins ' in the \
flight of ' thy | countenance.
pp 9 For all our days are passed a- | way in ' thy | wrath : || we spend
our | years ' as a | tale that ' is | told.
io The days of our years are threescore years and ten ; and if by
reason of strength they be | fourscore | years, || yet is their strength labour
and sorrow ; for it is soon cut off, | and we | fly a- | way.
11 Who knoweth the power | of thine | anger? || even according to thy |
fear, | so is ' thy | wrath.
12 So teach us to | number our | days, || that we may ap- | ply our |
hearts ' unto | wisdom.
f vif 13 Return, O | Lord, how | long? || and let it re- | pent thee '
I con- I cerning ' thy j servants.
14 O satisfy us early | with thy | mercy ; || that we may rejoice and
Lbe I glad | all our | days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou | hast af- | dieted
us, || and the years where- | in ' we have | seen | evil.
16 Let thy work appear j unto thy | servants, || and thy | glory | unto
their | children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God | be up- | on us: |j and
establish thou the work of our hands upon us ; yea, the work of our |
hands e- I stablish thou I it.

abide under the | shadow | of the ■ Al- | mighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge | and my | fortress : || my

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the | snare ' of the | fowler, || and |
from the | noisome | pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his | wings ' shalt thou |
trust : || his truth shall | be thy | shield and | buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the | terror by | night ; || nor for the | arrow
that | flieth by | day ;
6 Nor for the pestilence that | walketh in | darkness ; || nor for the de- |
struction that | wasteth at | noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at j thy right |
hand ; || but it | shall not | come nigh | thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt | thou be- | hold || and see the re- | ward | of
the | wicked.
r 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, | which is ' my | refuge, [| even the
most | High, thy | habi- | tation ;
io There shall no | evil be- | fall thee, || neither shall any | plague come |
Lnigh thy | dwelling.
pp n For he shall give his angels charge | over | thee, || to | keep thee '

12 They shall bear thee | up in ' their | hands, || lest thou dash thy | foot
a- | gainst a | stone.
r f 13 Thou shalt tread upon the | lion and | adder : || the young lion and

I him : || I will set him on high, be- | cause ' he hath | known my | name.

4 How long shall they utter and | speak hard | things? || and all the

6 They slay the widow | and the | stranger, || and | mur- | der the |

8 Understand, ye brutish a- | mong the | people : || and ye fools, | when

9 He that planted the ear, shall | he not | hear ? || he that formed the |
eye, shall | he not | see ?
io He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not | he cor- | rect ? || he that
teacheth man knowledge, | shall not | he | know ?

PSALM XCVIII.
A Psalm.
From J. Battishill.
r / O SING unto the Lord a new song ; for he hath done | marvel ' lous I
things : || his right hand, and his holy arm, hath | gotten | him the |
victory.
* 2 The Lord hath made | known ' his sal- | vation : || his righteousness
hath he openly shewed in the | sight ' of the | hea- | then.
3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of I
Isra- | el : || all the ends of the earth have seen the sal- | vation of I our i
God.
* 4 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, | all the | earth : || make a loud
noise, and re- | joice, and | sing | praise.
5 Sing unto the | Lord ' with the | harp ; || with the harp, | and the |
voice ' of a | psalm.
6 With trumpets and | sound of | cornet || make a joyful noise be- | fore
the | Lord, the | King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the | fulness there- | of ; [| the world, and | they
that | dwell there- | in.
8 Let the floods | clap their | hands : || let the hills be joyful to- | gether
be- | fore the | Lord ;
p 9 For he cometh to | judge the | earth : |i with righteousness shall he
Judge the world, | and the | people with | equity.

PSALM XCIX.
/ THE Lord reigneth ; let the | people | tremble : || he sitteth between
the cherubims ; | let the | earth be | moved.
2 The Lord is | great in | Zion ; || and he is | high a- | bove ' all the |
people.
*3 Let them praise thy great and | terri ' ble | name; \\ ftp fox | it is | ho- | ly.
f 4 The king's strength also | loveth | judgment ; || thou dost establish
equity, thou executest judgment and | righteous- | ness in | Jacob.
*5 Exalt ye the | Lord our | God, || and worship at his footstool ; | pp for
he is | ho- | ly.
/6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that
call up- | on his | name ; || they called upon the Lord, | and he | answered |
them.
7 He spake unto them in the | cloudy | pillar : || they kept his testimonies,
and the | ordi ' nance | that he | gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them, O | Lord our | God : || thou wast a God that
forgavest them, though thou tookest | vengeance of | their in- | ventions.
*9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his [ holy | hill ; || for the

2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I | am in | trouble, ||
incline thine ear unto me : in the day when I | call | answer me i

5 By reason of the | voice of ' my | groaning || my | bones | cleave ' to

great ; thou art | clothed with I honour and | majesty.
2 Who coverest thyself with light | as ' with a | garment : || who
stretchest out the | heavens | like a | curtain.
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers | in the | waters : || who
maketh the clouds his chariot : who walketh on the | wings | of the |

4 Who maketh his | angels | spirits ; || his ministers a | flaming |
Lfi- | re :
5 Who laid the foundations | of the | earth, || that it should not be re- |

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep | as ' with a | garment : || the waters |
stood a- | bove the | mountains.
7 At thy re- | buke they | fled ; H at the voice of thy | thunder they |
hasted a- | way.
8 They go | up ' by the | mountains ; || they go down by the valleys
unto the place which | thou hast | founded | for them.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may | not pass | over; || that they
turn not a- | gain to | cover the | earth.
io He sendeth the springs | into the | valleys, || which | run a- | mong

quench their | thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their | habi- | tation, ||
which | sing a- | mong the | branches.
13 He watereth the | hills from ' his | chambers : || the earth is satisfied
with the I fruit | of thy | works.
14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the | service
of I man : || that he may bring forth | food | out of ' the | earth ;
If the unison passages are too high for the basses, accompany in D flat.

8 He hath remembered his | covenant for | ever, || the word which he

9 Which covenant he | made with | Abraham, || and his | oath | unto |
Isaac ;
io And confirmed the same unto Jacob | for a | law, || and to Israel
for an | ever- | lasting | covenant :
1 1 Saying, Unto thee will I give the | land of | Canaan, || the | lot of |

and | strangers | in it.
13 When they went from one nation | to an- | other, || from one kingdom |
to an- I other | people ;
14 He suffered no man to | do them | wrong : || yea, he reproved | kings
for I their | sakes ;
15 Saying, Touch not | mine an- | ointed, || and | do my | prophets no |
harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine up- | on the | land : || he | brake the '
whole I staff of | bread.
17 He sent a | man be- | fore them, || even Joseph, | who was | sold '
for a I servant :
18 Whose feet they | hurt with | fetters : || he | was | laid in | iron :
19 Until the time that his | word | came: || the | word ' of the | Lord |

20 The king | sent and | loosed him ; || even the ruler of the | people,

103
21 He made him | lord ' of his | house, || and | ruler of | all his | sub-
stance :
22 To bind his princes | at his | pleasure ; j| and | teach his | senators |

23 Israel also came | into | Egypt ; || and Jacob sojourned | in the | land

24 And he increased his | people | greatly ; || and made them | stronger |
than their | enemies.
p 25 He turned their heart to | hate his | people, || to deal | subtil ' ly |
with his I servants.
f 26 He sent | Moses his | servant ; || and | Aaron | whom ' he had | chosen.
r 27 They shewed his | signs a- | inong them, || and wonders | in the | land

28 He sent darkness, and | made it | dark ; || and they rebelled | not

29 He turned their waters | into | blood, || and | slew | their | fish.
30 Their land brought forth | frogs ' in a- | bundance, || in the | cham-
bers I of their | kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers | sorts of | flies, || and | lice in | all
their | coasts.
32 He gave them | hail for | rain, || and flaming | fire | in their | land.
33 He smote their vines also | and their | fig trees : || and | brake the |
trees of ' their | coasts.
34 He spake, and the | locusts | came, || and caterpillars, | and that |
without I number.
35 And did eat up all the | herbs ' in their | land, || and devoured the |

36 He smote also all the first-born | in their | land, || the | chief of |

37 He brought them forth also with | silver and | gold : || and there was
not one feeble | person a- | mong their | tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when | they de- | parted : || for the | fear of ' them |
fell up- I on them.

41 He opened the rock, and the waters | gushed | out, || they ran in

p 6 We have sinned | with our | fathers, || we have committed iniquity, |
we have | done | wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ; they remembered

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his | name's | sake, || that he might
make his mighty | power j to be | known.
f 9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was | dried | up : || so he led
them through the | depths, | as ' through the | wilderness.
io And he saved them from the hand of | him that | hated them, ||
and redeemed them | from the | hand of ' the | enemy.
ii And the waters | covered ' their | enemies : || there | was not | one

in the | desert.

24 Yea, they despised the | pleasant | land, |j they be- 1 lieved | not his | word :
p 25 But murmured | in their | tents, || and hearkened not | unto the

26 Therefore he lifted up his | hand a- | gainst them, |j to over- ! throw
them I in the | wilderness.
27 To overthrow their seed also a- | mong the | nations, || and to j
scatter them | in the | lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto | Baal- | peor, || and ate the sacri- |

the I plague brake j in up- | on them.

ill with I Moses | for their | sakes :
33 Because they pro- | voked his | spirit, || so that he spake unad- i
visedly | with his | lips.
34 They did not de- | stroy the | nations, || concerning | whom the |
Lord com- | manded them :
* 35 But were mingled a- | mong the | heathen, || and | learned | their J

36 And they | served ' their | idols : || which | were a | snare un- 1 to thenv

land ' was pol- | luted with | blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their | own | works, || and went a whor-

f p HOLD I not thy | peace, || O | God | of my | praise ;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are |
Lopened a- 1 gainst me : |j they have spoken against me | with a | lying | tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with | words of |' hatred ; || and fought a- i
gainst me ' with- | out a | cause.
4 For my love they | are mine | adversaries : || but I j give my ' self | unto | prayer.
109
5 And they have rewarded rne | evil for | good, [| and | hatred | for my | love.
6 Set thou a wicked man | over | him : |[ and let Satan | stand at | his
right | hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him | be con- | demned : || and | let his |
prayer be ; come | sin.
8 Let his | days be | few ; || let an- | other | take his | office.
9 Let his | children be | fatherless, || and | .... his | wife a | widow.
io Let his children be continually vaga- | bonds, and | beg : || let them
seek their bread also | out of ' their | deso ' late | places.
1 1 Let the extortioner catch | all that ' he | hath : || and let the | strang-
ers | spoil his | labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy | unto | him : || neither let there
be any to | favour his | fatherless | children.
13 Let his posterity be | cut | off; || and in the generation following let
their | name be | blotted | out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered | with the | Lord ; ||
and let not the sin of his | mother be | blotted I out.
15 Let them be before the | Lord con- | tinually, || that he may cut off
the memory | of them | from the | ea.rth.
16 Because that he remembered not to | shew | mercy, || but persecuted
l^the poor and needy man, that he might even | slay the | broken in | heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it | come unto | him : || as he delighted
not in blessing, so let | it be | far from | him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like | as ' with his | garment, || so
let it come into his bowels like water, and like | oil | into his | bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the | garment which | covereth him, || and for
a girdle wherewith he is | gird- | ed con- | tinually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries | from the | Lord, || and
of them that speak | evil a- | gainst my | soul.
mf 21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, | for thy | name's sake : ||
because thy memory is | good, de- | liver thou | me.
p 22 For I am | poor and | needy, || and my | heart is | wounded with- \
Lin me,
23 I am gone like the shadow | when ' it de- | clineth : || I am tossed |
up and I down ' as the | locust.
24 My knees are | weak through | fasting ; || and my flesh | fail- | eth of |
fatness.
25 I became also a reproach | unto | them : || when they looked upon |
me they | shaked their | heads.
26 Help me, O | Lord my | God : || O save me ac- 1 cording | to thy | mercy :
27 That they may know that | this is ' thy | hand ; (| that | thou, | Lord,
hast I done it.
28 Let them curse, | but bless | thou : || when they arise, let them be
ashamed ; but | let thy | servant re- | joice.
29 Let mine adversaries be | clothed with | shame, || and let them cover
themselves with their own con- | fusion, | as with a | mantle.
/ 30 I will greatly praise the | Lord ' with my | mouth ; || yea, I will
^praise | him a- j mong the | multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right | hand ' of the | poor, || to save him

John Davy.
f WHEN the Lord turned again the captivity of | Zi- | on, || we were j
like | them that | dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our | tongue with |
singing : || then said they among the heathen,'The Lord hath | done great |
Lthings for | them."
3 The Lord hath done great | things for | us ; || where- | of | we are |
glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, | O | Lord, || as the | streams | in the |
south.
p 5 They that | sow in | tears ||/ shall | reap | in | joy.
p 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing | precious | seed, || f shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, | bringing his | sheaves | with him.
PSALM CXXVII.
A Song of degrees for Solomon.
/ EXCEPT the Lord build the house, they labour in | vain that | build
it : || except the Lord keep the city, the watchman | waketh | but in | vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the | bread
Lof j sorrows : || for so he giveth | his be- | loved | sleep,
3 Lo, children are an heritage | of the | Lord : || and the fruit of the |
Womb is | his re- | ward.
4 As arrows are in the hands of a | mighty | man ; || so are | children | of
the | youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his | quiver | full of them : |j they shall
not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the | enemies | in the | gate.
PSALM CXXVIII.

f /BLESSED is every one that

2 For thou shalt eat the labour | of thine
be, | and it | shall be | well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the | sides of ' thine | house : ||
thy children like olive plants | round a- | bout thy | table.
4 Behold, that thus shall the | man be | blessed || that | fear- | eth the |
Lord.
5 The Lord shall bless thee | out of | Zion : || and thou shalt see the
good of Jerusalem | all the | days of ' thy | life.

tnf "MANY a time have they afflicted me | from my | youth," || may |
Isra- | el now | say :
2 < ' Many a time have they afflicted me | from my | youth : || yet they
have not pre- | vail- | ed a- | gainst me.
ft 3 The plowers plowed up- | on my | back : || they | made | long their |
furrows."
4. The | Lord is | righteous : || he hath cut asunder the | cords | of the |
wicked.
5 Let them | all ' be con- | founded || and turned | back that | hate | Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the | house- | tops, || which withereth
a- | fore it | groweth | up :
7 Wherewith the mower filleth | not his | hand ; || nor he that | bindeth |
sheaves, his | bosom.
8 Neither do they which go by say, " The blessing of the | Lord ' be up- |
on you : || we bless you in the | name | of the | Lord."
PSALM CXXX.

4 But there is for- | giveness with | thee || that thou | mayest be | fear- | ed.
5 I wait for the Lord, my | soul doth | wait, || and in | his word | do

PSALM CXXXI.
A Song of degrees of David.
ft LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine | eyes | lofty : || neither do
I exercise myself in great matters, or in | things too | high for | me.
2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned J

f vif LORD, re- | member | David, || and | all | his af- | flictions.
2 How he sware | unto the | Lord, || and vowed unto the | mighty j
[_God of | Jacob.
3 Surely I will not come unto the tabernacle | of my | house, || nor | go

4 I will not give | sleep ' to mine | eyes, j| or | slumber | to mine j

5 Until I find out a place | for the | Lord, |l an habitation for the |

6 Lo, we heard of | it at | Ephratah : [| we found it in the | fields | of
the | wood.
7 We will go | unto his | tabernacles : || we will | worship | at his | foot-

8 Arise, O Lord, | into thy | rest ; || thou, | and the | ark of ' thy | strength.
f f 9 Let thy priests be | clothed with | righteousness ; || and let thy |

io For thy servant | David's | sake || turn not away the | face of |

1 1 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David ; he will | not turn | from
it ; || "Of the fruit of thy body will I | set up- | on thy | throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that |
I shall | teach them, || their children shall also sit upon thy | throne for I
ever- | more.
13 For the Lord hath | chosen | Zion ; [| he hath desired it | for his |

14 This is my | rest for | ever : [| here will I dwell ; | for I | have de- |
sired it.
C 1 5 I will abundantly | bless ' her pro- | vision : || I will satis- | fy her j
j poor with I bread.
16 I will also clothe her | priests with ' sal- | vation : || and her saints
*^ shall I shout a- | loud for | joy.
17 There will I make the horn of ] David to | bud : || I have ordained

C vif 0 LORD, I thou hast | searched me, || and | known | | me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and | mine up- | rising, || thou under-
l^standest my | thought a- | far | off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my | lying | down, || and art ac- |
quainted with | all my j ways.
4 For there is not a | word in ' my 1 tongue, || but, lo, O Lord, thou |
knowest it | alto- | gether.
5 Thou hast beset me be- | hind ' and be- | fore, || and | laid thine |
hand up- | on me.
6 Such knowledge is too | wonderful | for me ; || it is high, I | cannot at- |
tain unto | it.
Verses 7 to 18. (Major.)
or whither shall I | flee |
if I make my bed
the I morning, || and dwell in the | utter-
cover me ; || even the | nights
/ 7 Whither shall I go | from thy | spirit ?
from thy | presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, | thou art | there :
in hell, be- | hold, | thou art | there.
9 If I take the | wings of '
most I parts ' of the | sea ;
10 Even there shall | thy hand | lead me, || and | thy right | hand
^shall I hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the | darkness shall
shall be | light a- | bout me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee ; but the night shineth | as
the I day : || the darkness and the light are | both a- | like to [ thee.
13 For thou hast pos- | sessed my | reins : || thou hast covered me |
in my | mother's | womb.
14 I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and wonder- | fully | made : ||
marvellous are thy works ; and that my | soul | knoweth right | well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was | made in | secret, |!
and curiously wrought in the | lowest | parts ' of the | earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet | being un- | perfect ; (| and
in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were
fashioned, | when as ] yet ' there was | none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, | O | God! || how |
great ' is the | sum of | them !
1 8 If I should count them, they are more in number | than the | sand: ||
when I a- | wake, ' I am | still with | thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, | O | God : || depart from me j
therefore, ye | bloody | men.
20 For they speak a- | gainst thee | wickedly, || and thine enemies |
take thy | name in | vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that | hate | thee? || and am not I
grieved with those that | rise | up a- | gainst thee ?
22 I hate them with | perfect | hatred : || I | count | them mine | enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and | know my ] heart : || try | me, and | know
my I thoughts :
24 And see if there be any wicked | way | in me, || and lead me in
the I way I ever- | lasting.

/ BLESSED be the | Lord my | strength, || which teacheth my hands
to war, | and my | fingers to | fight :
2 My goodness, and my fortress ; my high tower, and my deliverer ;
my shield, and he in | whom I | trust ; || who sub- | dueth my | people |
Lunder me.
p 3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest | knowledge of | him ! || or the
son of man, that thou | makest ac- | count of | him !
4 Man is | like to | vanity : [| his days are as a | shadow that | passeth
a- | way.
/ 5 Bow thy heavens, O Lord, | and come j down : || touch the | moun-
tains, | and they ' shall | smoke.
6 Cast forth | lightning, and | scatter them : || shoot out thine | arrows, |
^_and de- | stroy them.
7 Send thine | hand ' from a- | bove : || rid me, and deliver me out of
great waters, from the | hand of | strange | children ;
8 Whose mouth | speaketh | vanity, || and their right hand | is a ' right |
hand of | falsehood.
f 9 I will sing a new song unto thee, | O | God : || upon a psaltery and
] an instrument of ten strings will I sing | praises | unto | thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation | unto | kings : || who delivereth David
t_his servant | from the | hurtful | sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of | strange | children, || whose
mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand | is a ' right | hand of | falsehood :
12 That our sons may be as plants grown | up ' in their | youth ; || that
our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the si- | militude |
of a | palace :
f 13 That our garners may be full, affording all | manner of | store : || that
j our sheep may bring forth thousands and | ten thousands | in our | streets :
j 14 That our oxen may be | strong to | labour; || that there be no break-
Ling in, nor going out ; that there be no com- | plaining | in our | streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in | such a | case : || yea, happy is
that people, | whose God | is the | Lord.

# I WILL extol thee, my | God, O | king ; || and I will bless thy |
name for | ever and | ever.
2 Every day | will I | bless thee ; || and I will praise thy | name for |
v_ever and | ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly | to be | praised ; || and his | greatness |
is un- | searchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy j works' to an- | other, || and shall de-
clare | thy | mighty | acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of | thy | majesty, || and of | thy |
wondrous | works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy | terrible | acts : || and I
will de- | clare | thy | greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of | thy great | goodness, ||
and shall | sing of | thy | righteousness.
p 8 The Lord is gracious, and | full of ' com- | passion ; || slow to anger, |
and of | great | mercy.
m 9 The Lord is | good to | all : [] and his tender mercies are | over | all
his | works.
/ io All thy works shall praise thee, | O | Lord ; || and | thy | saints
shall | bless thee.
1 1 They shall speak of the glory of | thy | kingdom, || and | talk of j
thy | power ;
12 To make known to the sons of men his | mighty | acts, || and the
glorious I majesty | of his | kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an ever- | lasting | kingdom, || and thy dominion
I endureth through- | out all \ gene- | rations.
j 14 The Lord upholdeth | all that | fall, || and raiseth up all | those
Lthat ' be | bowed j down.
15 The eyes of all | wait up ' on | thee ; || and thou givest them their |
meat in | due | season.
16 Thou I openest thine | hand, || and satisfiest the desire of | every |
living I thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in | all his | ways, || and | holy in | all his | works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that | call up ' on | him, || to all
that I call up ' on | him in | truth.
r 19 He will fulfil the desire of | them that | fear him ; || he also will hear |
their cry, | and will | save them.
20 The Lord preserveth all | them that | love him : || but all the I
'^wicked will | he de- | stroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the | praise ' of the | Lord : || and let all flesh
bless his holy | name for | ever and I ever.

PSALM CXLVI.
f ff PRAISE | ye the | Lord. || Praise the | Lord, | O my | soul.
2 While I live will I | praise the | Lord : || I will sing praises unto
^.God | while I | have any | being.
p 3 Put not your | trust in | princes : || nor in the son of man, in | whom
there | is no | help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth | to his | earth : || in that very | day
his | thoughts | perish.
f 5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob | for his | help, || whose
hope is | in the | Lord his | God :
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that | therein | is : ||
which | keepeth | truth for | ever :
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed : which giveth | food to
Ihe | hungry. || The | Lord | looseth the | prisoners :
8 The Lord openeth the | eyes ' of the | blind : || the Lord raiseth them
that are bowed down : the | Lord | loveth the | righteous :
9 The Lord preserveth the strangers ; he relieveth the father- | less and |
widow : || but the way of the wicked he | turneth | upside | down.
io The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto | all
gene- | rations. || Praise ] | ye the | Lord.
PSALM CXLVII.
Psalms cxlvii. and cxlviii.
Dr. Crotch.
C ff PRAISE ye the Lord : for it is good to sing praises unto | our |
I God ; || for it is | pleasant ; and | praise is | comely.
j 2 The Lord doth buildup Je- | rusa- | lem~:J| he gathereth together the I
^outcasts of | Isra- | el.
/ 3 He healeth the | broken in | heart, || and | bindeth | up their | wounds.
/ 4 He telleth the number | of the | stars ; || he calleth them | all | by
their | names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of | great | power : || his | under- | standing is |
infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth | up the | meek : || he casteth the | wicked | down
to the | ground.
141
f 7 Sing unto the | Lord with ' thanks- | giving ; || sing praise upon the |
harp unto | our | God : #
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth | ram for the I
learth, || who maketh grass to | grow up | on the | mountains.
9 He giveth to the | beast his | food, || and to the | young | ravens which |
cry.
io He delighteth not in the | strength ' of the | horse : |j he taketh not
pleasure | in the | legs of a | man.
ii The Lord taketh pleasure in | them that | fear him, || in | those that j
hope in ' his | mercy.
f 12 Praise the Lord, O Je- | rusa- | lem ; || praise J thy | God, O | Zion.
I 13 For he hath strengthened the | bars of ' thy | gates ; || he hath |
t blessed thy | children with- | in thee.
14 He maketh | peace ' in thy | borders, || and filleth thee with the |
finest I of the | wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his com- | mandment on | earth : || his word | run-
neth I very | swiftly.
16 He giveth | snow like | wool : || he scattereth the | hoar | frost like | ashes.
17 He casteth forth his | ice like | morsels: || who can | stand be- | fore
his I cold?
18 He sendeth out his | word, and | melteth them : || he causeth his
wind to blow, | and the | waters | flow.
f 19 He sheweth his word | unto | Jacob, || his statutes and his judgments j
unto I Isra- | el.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation : and as for his judgments,
Jhey I have not | known them. || Praise | | ye the | Lord.

3 Praise ye him, | sun and | moon : || praise him, | all ye | stars of | light.
4 Praise him, ye | heavens of | heavens, || and ye waters that | be a- |
Ibove the | heavens.
5 Let them praise the | name ' of the | Lord : || for he commanded, | and

6 He hath also established them for | ever and | ever : || he hath made
a de- I cree which | shall not | pass.
7 Praise the | Lord ' from the | earth, || ye | dragons | and all | deeps :
8 Fire, and hail ; | snow, and | vapours ; || stormy | wind ful- | filling
\ his I word :
9 Mountains, | and all | hills : || fruitful | trees, | and all | cedars :
10 Beasts, | and all | cattle ; |j creeping | things, and | flying | fowl :
1 1 Kings of the earth, | and all | people ; || princes, and all | judges | of
the I earth :
12 Both young | men, and | maidens ; || old | men, and ( chil- | dren :
13 Let them praise the | name of ' the | Lord : || for his name alone is
excellent ; his glory is a- | bove the | earth and | heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his
I saints ; even of the children of Israel, a people | near un- | to him. fj
Praise | | ye the | Lord.
