 Preface
The prime distinction of this Psalter is its use of the metrical version of
the Psalms approved September 22d, 1909, by a Joint Committee from
nine Churches of the Presbyterian family in Canada and the United States.
These Churches are as follows: the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Reformed Church in
America, the United Presbyterian Church of North America, the Reformed
Presbyterian Church, Synod, the Reformed Presbyterian Church, General
Synod, the Christian Reformed Church in North America, the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church, and the Associate Presbyterian Church.
There had been a long-felt desire for a version of the Psalms which would
satisfy modern literary standards and be recognized as the mutual property
of the Churches. A movement in this direction was started in 1893, the
General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church then appointing a
Committee to bring the project before the various ecclesiastical bodies.
The outcome was the creation of a Joint Committee in 1895. After being
enlarged, it met in Philadelphia on April 8th, 1897, for organization and the
adoption of a plan of procedure. Though meanwhile there was much prep-
aration on the part of some of its members, the Committee was not con-
vened again until 1900, when on April 20th the first session for actual work
began in New York City, lasting six days. From that date lengthy meetings
were held twice a year until April, 1905, when the Revision was finished
and sent to the interested Churches for action thereon. Most of these
Churches commended the progress made, but desired the Joint Committee
to continue its efforts toward a version of still greater excellence. The
Joint Committee, to aid it in this matter, waited for reports from the Com-
mittees representing the Churches, with the criticisms and suggestions they
might convey.
The Committee of the United Presbyterian Church, increased and defi-
nitely instructed by the General Assembly of 1905, set itself very earnestly
to its duty, proposing practically a new metrical translation of the Psalms.
The Committee as now constituted consisted of David A. McClenahan, D.D.,
LL.D., Chairman, David R. Miller, D.D., William E. McCulloch, D.D.,
John McNaugher, D.D., LL.D., William J. Reid, D.D., and William L
Wishart, D.D. It had the invaluable help of Edward A. Collier, D.D., of
the Reformed Church in America, and of Charles E. Craven, D.D., of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, both of whom had
shown already superior poetic gifts as members of the Joint Committee.
Three years were spent on the undertaking, the Committee meeting weekly,
except during the vacation periods. The Committees of the other Churches
did little in the meantime, being informed of the work that was being prose-
cuted on so large a scale by the United Presbyterian Committee. In April,
1909, proof sheets of the Version were forwarded to the members of the
Joint Committee, who offered emendations and additions, many of which
were accepted. On September 21st, 1909, the Joint Committee gathered
in the Allegheny Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, where two days were
 Preface

occupied with a review of the Version. With some slight retouching, it

was submitted to the Churches by almost unanimous agreement as the
Joint Committee's final report.
The Version was presented to the General Assembly of the United Pres-
byterian Church at Knoxville, Tennessee, in May, 1909, subject to such
minor changes as might still be made by the Joint Committee. The Gen-
eral Assembly overtured it to the Presbyteries, where an overwhelming vote
in its favor was recorded. In pursuance of this legal approval by the Pres-
byteries, the General Assembly of 1910, meeting in Philadelphia, formally
authorized the Version as The Book of Praise of the United Presbyterian
Church of North America.
In this Version the inspired Psalms have been rendered into choice
English verse, while yet the freshness and strength and sober dignity of
the Hebrew originals have been preserved. Besides the familiar meters, a
number of more recent type have been introduced, permitting an ampler
drawing from the copious stores of church music of the past and present.
The Psalms that are prized most highly have special treatment, there being
two or more renditions of them, differing metrically. In the thought of
many this versification of the Divine Hymnal, because of its merit and its
undenominational character, is destined to receive broad acceptance and
become historic.
Confidently anticipating the indorsement of the Version by the Church,
the Board of Publication in 1909 appointed an Editorial Committee to pre-
pare a Psalter, and on November 29th of that year the initiative was taken
in a task only now happily concluded. In this new manual of praise the
Psalms are divided into four hundred and thirteen sections. By such par-
titioning many passages of peculiar interest which otherwise would be un-
sung are brought under observation. In every instance the Psalm numeral
and the meter signature are printed prominently. Instead of numbering
the stanzas of a Psalm consecutively through several sections, the stanzas
are counted over again in each, and the continuous order is indicated in
brackets below the music. Supplementing the entire Psalm, there is an
occasional selection of stanzas that frame up into a good unity. Some of
these selections belong to the text of the Version; others have been drafted
by the Editorial Committee. A few choruses, nine in all, are employed.
The headings on every page embody the keynote or leading strain of the
several sections, and are designed to contribute meaning to the service of
song.
In the search for tunes the Committee has made an exhaustive study
of the best collections of congregational music in America and Great Britain.
The tests constantly applied were harmony with the lofty sentiment and
spiritual utterance of the Psalms, genuinely musical quality, promise of
permanence, and popular adaptation. Many of the old Psalm tunes retain
their place, not because of any prescriptive right, but by reason of their
intrinsic value. Seventeen tunes appear for the first time, having been
written especially for this book. Each tune is set but once. This rule
secures a wealth of music, so that this Psalter contains no less than four
hundred and thirty-six tunes, inclusive of twenty-three alternates. A fixed
association between tune and words is also gained thereby. Commonly
marks of expression or speed have been avoided, it being judged better
 Preface

that organists and choirs should themselves seek such a musical interpreta-
tion of the Psalms as will be edifying. The Committee was exceedingly
fortunate in obtaining the co-operation, as expert musical editor, of Mr.
Charles N. Boyd, Instructor in Church Music in the Western Theological
Seminary, Pittsburgh. To his skill and painstaking care very much is
owing. The Committee takes this opportunity to thank the composers and
publishers who have granted free permission for the use of copyright mate-
rial.
Together with the ordinary indexes, a topical index, analyzing and
classifying the rich content of the Psalms, has been provided. This sup-
plies a ready reference for both doctrinal and practical themes. The Psalter
has been made more complete as a service book by the insertion of Respon-
sive Readings. It is believed that the growing number of congregations
which have a responsive exercise in their order of worship will welcome this
new feature. To the Responsive Readings are appended two doxologies
and the Apostles' Creed for public repetition.
With this brief preface the book is sent forth upon its sacred mission.
It presents anew the immortal songs of the Holy Spirit, those matchless
hymns of the Bible which have been sung in far-off countries and centuries,
which were chanted by our Lord and His disciples, and which with their
measured language of religious feeling and devotion will abide until the
end. In submitting the results of its labor the Committee expresses the
earnest hope that the Church may be able, more worthily than ever, to
fulfil the injunction: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all
wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God."

2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
His portion and delight,
And meditates upon that law
With gladness day and night.

3 That man is nourished like a tree

Set by the river's side;
Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
And thus his works abide.

4 The wicked like the driven chaff

Are swept from off the land;
They shall not gather with the Just,
Nor in the judgment stand.

5 The Lord will guard the righteous well,

Their way to Him is known
The way of sinners, far from God,
Shall surely be o'erthrown.

Who delightest not in sin; To Thy house I will repair,
Evil shall not dwell with Thee, Bowing toward Thy holy place,
Nor the proud Thy favor win. In Thy fear will worship there.
Evildoers Thou dost hate, Lead me in Thy righteousness.

Loved and visited by Thee, All Thy wondrous works proclaim;
Raised to an exalted height, Thine the Name of matchless worth,
Crowned with honor in Thy sight ? Excellent in all the earth.

enemies turn and are scattered in

ps
They stumble and perish because Thou art near;
For Thou hast defended my right and my cause,
Thou sittest in judgment, upholding Thy laws.
3 Rebuked are the nations, the wicked destroyed,
Their memory perished, their dwelling-place void;
Enthroned and eternal, Jehovah shall reign,
The peoples to judge and the right to maintain.
4 Thou, Lord, art a refuge for all the oppressed;
All trust Thee who know Thee, and trusting are blest;
For never, Lord, did Thy mercy forsake
The soul that has sought of Thy grace to partake.
5 Give praise to Jehovah, the mighty deeds tell
Of Him Who
has chosen in Zion to dwell.
Of Him to Whom
justice and vengeance belong,
Who visits the lowly and overthrows wrong.
6 Behold my Thy mercy accord,
affliction.
And back from death's portals restore me, O Lord,
That I in the gates of Thy Zion may raise
My song of salvatiop and show forth Thy praise.

7 The sins of the nations their ruin have wrought,

Their own evildoing destruction has brought;
In this the Lord's justice eternally stands.
That sinners are snared in the work of their hands.
8 The wicked shall perish, the nations shall fall.
Forgetting their God, Who is God over all
But God will remember the prayer of the weak,
Most surely fulfilling the hope of the meek.
9 Arise in Thy justice, O Lord, and Thy might,
No longer let sinners prevail in Thy sight;
Great Judge of the nations, in judgment appear
To humble the proud and to teach them Thy fear.

2 From heaven the Lord with searching 4 Has knowledge with the wicked failed,
eye That they My people have assailed,
Looked down the sons of men to try, That they delight in works of shame,
To see if any understood And call not on Jehovah's Name ?
And sought for God, the only good.

3 From righteousness they all depart. 5 Thy lowly servant they despise.
Corrupt are all, and vile in heart; Because he on the Lord relies;
Yea, every man has evil done; But they shall tremble yet in fear,
Not one does good, not even one. For to the righteous God is near.

Salvation were on us bestowed!

2 The merciful shall know Thy grace,

The perfect Thy perfection see,
The pure shall see Thy own pure fuce,
The froward find a foe in Thee.

3 To smite the proud and bring them low,

To save the poor is Thy delight.
The Lord will cause my lamp to glow,
My God will make my darkness light.
4 From God the victory I receive;
Most perfect is His holy way;
His word is tried, they who believe
Will find the Lord their shield and stay.

5 For who is God, and strong to save.

Beside the Lord, our God of might?
'Tis He that makes me strong and brave,
The Lord Who guides my steps aright.

6 Thy free salvation is my shield.

My sure defense in every strait;
Thy hand upholds me, lest I yield;
Thy gentleness has made me great.

Enduring evermore; Nor let them o'er me reign;
His statutes, let the world confess. And then I upright shall appear
Are wholly truth and righteousness. And be from great transgressions clear.
3 They are to be desired 5 When Thou dost search my Ufe,
Above the finest gold; May all my thoughts within

More sweetness far they hold; Thy full approval win.
With warnings they Thy servant guard. O Lord, Thou art a rock to me,
In keeping them is great reward. And my Redeemer Thou shalt be.

3 The fear of God is undefiled

The statutes of the Lord are truth
And righteousness most pure.

4 They warn from ways of wickedness

Displeasing to the Lord,
And in the keeping of His word
There is a great reward.

5 What man can know his evil heart,

Discerning all his sin ?

O cleanse me, Lord, from hidden faults,

And make me pure within.

6 From wilful sins Thy servant keep,

No vantage let them

From great transgression thus made free,
I upright shall remain.

Our fathers put their trust in Thee, strong,

3 They cried,and, trusting in Thy Name,
Were saved, and were not put to 8 Down unto death Thou leadest Me,

But in the dust My

The garments torn from Me they share,
And, mocking, bid Me trust the Lord
Till He salvation shall afford.

And for My robe they cast the lot.

When I was on My mother's breast; Q Thou My helper, haste, I pray;
From birth Thou art My God alone. From death and evil set Me free;
Thy care My life has ever known. i Uve, for Thou didst answer Me.

For trouble and distress are near; Where brethren gather in Thy Name;
Be Thou not far away from Me, Where all Thy faithful people meet,

2 When evil-doers came 4 When troubles round me swell.
To make my life their prey, When fears and dangers throng,
They stumbled in their shame Securely I will dwell
And fell in sore dismay; In His pavilion strong;
Though hosts make war on every side. Within the covert of His tent
Still fearless I in God confide. He hides me till the storm is spent.
3 My one request has been, 5 Uplifted on a rock
And still this prayer I raise. Above my foes around,
That I may dwell within Amid the battle shock
God's house through all my days, My song shall still resound;
Jehovah's beauty to admire, Then joyful offerings I will bring,
And in His temple to inquire. Jehovah's praise my heart shall sing.

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

3 His voice makes the mountains and deserts to tremble,

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

4 The Lord ruled in might at the flood of great waters,

A
King Whose dominion is never to cease;
The Lord will give blessing and strength to His people,
The Lord all His people will comfort with peace.

2 His holy Name remember, 4 What profit if I perish.
Ye saints, Jehovah praise; If life Thou dost not spare ?
His anger lasts a moment, Shall dust repeat Thy praises,
His favor all our days; Shall it Thy truth declare ?
For sorrow, like a pilgrim, O Lord, on me have mercy.
May tarry for a night. And my petition hear;
But joy the heart will gladden That Thou mayst be my helper,
When dawns the morning light. In mercy, Lord, appear.

3 In prosperous days I boasted. 5 My grief is turned to gladness,

Unmoved remain. I shall To Thee my thanks I raise,
For, Lord, by Thy good favor Who hast removed my sorrow
Mycause Thou didst maintain; And girded me with praise;
I soon was sorely troubled, And now, no longer silent,
For Thou didst hide Thy face; Myheart Thy praise will sing;
I cried to Thee, Jehovah, O Lord, my God, forever
I sought Jehovah's grace. Mythanks to Thee I bring.

2 Bow down Thy ear to my request. 7 Show mercy, Lord, to me distressed,
And swift deliverance send; send my soul relief;
And
Be Thou to me a rock of strength, My life is spent with bitterness.
A fortress to defend. My strength consumed with grief.
3 Since Thou my rock and fortress art, 8 I mourn and fail because of sin.

My leader be, and guide; Friends turn in dread away;

From all temptation rescue me. Reproached am I and terrified.
Thou dost my strength abide. While foes conspire to slay.

9 But, Lord, in Thee is all my trust,

4 To Thee my spirit I commend;
Redemption is with Thee, Thou art my God, I cried;
Thou Jehovah, God of truth. My life,- my times are in Thy hand,
Who hast delivered me. I in Thy strength confide.

5 I hate all those that love the false. ID From all that persecute my soul
My trust is in the Lord; .
Thy gracious help I crave;
1 will be glad, and joyfully O smile upon Thy servant, Lord,
Thy mercy will record. And in Thy mercy save.

6 For my affliction Thou hast seen. 11 Let not be ashamed, O Lord,

me
And known my many woes; with Thee to save;
I plead
Thou hast not let me be enslaved, But let the wicked be ashamed,
But freed me from my foes. And silent in the grave.

12 Yea, let their lips henceforth be mute

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

Although His face He seemed to hide,
He ever heard me when I cried,
And made my wants His care.

2 While I kept guilty silence

My strength was spent with grief,
Thy hand was heavy on me,
My soul found no relief;
But when I owned my trespass,
My sin hid not from Thee,
When I confessed transgression.
Then Thou forgavest me.

3 So let the godly seek Thee

In times when Thou art near;
No whelming floods shall reach them,
Nor cause their hearts to fear.
In Thee, O Lord, I hide me,
Thou savest me from ill.
And songs of Thy salvation

2 Ashamed, confounded let them be

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

 God Our Advocate and Judge

3 My soul is joyful in the Lord,

In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,
Defender of the poor and meek ?
The needy Thy salvation see
When mighty foes their ruin seek.

4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood

And told of crimes beyond belief;
Returning evil for my good,
They overwhelm my soul with grief.
When in affliction they were sad,
I wept and made their grief my own
But in my trouble they are glad
And strive that I may be o'erthrown.

5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?

My soul for Thy salvation waits;
My thankfulness I will display
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.
Let not my enemies rejoice
And wrongfully exult o'er me;
They speak not peace, but lift their voice
To trouble those that peaceful be.

6 My foes with joy my woes survey.

But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;
O be no longer far away,
Nor silent when on Thee I call.
O haste to my deliverance now,
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;
My Lord and God alone art Thou;
Awake, and make Thy justice plain.

7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee,

Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;
Let not my foes exult o'er me
And laugh with joy at my dismay.
With shame and trouble those requite
Who would my righteous cause destroy;
But those who in the good delight,
Let them be glad and shout for joy.

8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified,

Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;
And I, from mom till eventide.
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.
My soul joyful in the Lord,

In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.

Make me, O Lord, to know my end, I spoke no word of rash complaint;
Teach me the measure of my days. Remove Thy stroke away from me.
That I may know how frail I am Beneath Thy chastisement I faint.
And turn from pride and sinful ways. 8 When Thou for his iniquity
My time is nothing in Thy sight. Rebukest and correctest man,
Behold, my days are but a span; His beauty is constmaed away.
Yea, truly at his best estate, How weak his strength, how vain
A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. his plan.

Man's Hfe is passed in vain desire Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry,
Iftroubled years be spent for gain; I weep, be Thou my comforter;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be. I am a stranger here below,
And all his toil is but in vain. A pilgrim as my fathers were.
lo spare me. Lord, avert Thy wrath.
Deal gently with me, I implore.
That I may yet recover strength
E'er I go hence and be no more.

2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life, 7 My foes, together whispering,
On earth he shall be blest; Their evil plans devise;
The Lord will not surrender him Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
By foes to be distressed. Laid low, he shall not rise.

3 Upon the bed of suffering 8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend,

Jehovah will sustain, In whom I put my trust, [ wrath
And in his sickness God will soothe Who ate my bread, now turns in
The weariness and pain. To crush me in the dust.

4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends. 9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace.

Let me Thy mercy see; And raise me up again,
Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, That I with justice may requite
I have offended Thee. These base and wicked men.

5 My enemies against me speak, ID By this I know assuredly

And they my life have scorned; That I am loved by Thee,
They wish my name to pass away, Because my foe does not exult
Unhonored and unmoimied. In triumph over me.

6 My foe, deceitful, visits me, II And as for me, in uprightness

B5^ seeming kindness led, Thou dost uphold me well.
His heart intent on gathering And settest me before Thy face
Some hurtful news to spread. For evermore to dwell.

12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God

For evermore. Amen.
Let age to age eternally
Repeat His praise. Amen.

114 Thirstings for God
PSALM 42 L. M. Baca William 13. Bradbury

2 Far from the courts of God, my tears 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep.
Have been my food by night and While raging storms Thy judg-
day, ments tell;
While constantly with bitter sneers, The angry billows o'er me leap,
Where is thy God, the scoffers say. The waves of sorrow near me swell.
7 Though troubles surge, yet through
3 With grief I think of days gone by,
When oft I trod the hallowed way the day
To Zion, praising God on high The Lord His gracious help will give.
With throngs who kept the holy day. And in the night my heart shall pray
And sing to Him in Whom I live.

4 O why art thou cast down, my soul, 8 To God my Rock I cry and say,
And why so troubled shouldst thou why hast Thou forgotten me ?
be? Why go I mourning on my way.
Hope thou inGod, and Him extol, Oppressed by foes that know not
Who gives His saving help to me. Thee?

5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed. 9 With anguish as from piercing sword

In exile far, with bitter grief, Reproach of bitter foes I hear.
I turn my thoughts to Thy abode While day by day, with taunting word,
For consolation and relief. Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer.
lo O why art thou cast down, my soul,
And why so troubled shouldst thou be ?
Hope thou in God, and Him extol,
Who gives His saving help to me.

2 They gained not the land by the edge of the sword,
Their own arm to them could no safety afford,
But Thy right hand saved, and the light of Thy face,
Because of Thy favor and wonderful grace.

3 Command, and Thy word shall deliverance bring,

O God, to Thy chosen, for Thou art our King;
Through Thee we will surely defeat all our foes.
Through Thy Name will triumph o'er those that oppose.

Nor yet on my sword as a safeguard depend;

2 Like sheep to the slaughter Thy people are given,

Dispersed through the nations afar we are driven
Thou sellest Thy people to strangers for naught,
Their price to Thy treasure no increase has brought.

3 Thou makest our neighbors reproach us in pride,

And those that are near us to scoff and deride;
A by-word the nations have made of our name,
With scorn and derision they put us to shame.

4 Yea, all the day long I behold my disgrace.

And covered am I with confusion of face;
The voice of blasphemers and scoffers I hear,
The foe and avenger against me appear.

5 All this have we suffered, and never forgot

To serve Thee, Jehovah, nor falsely have wrought;
Our heart is not turned and our steps have not strayed.
Though crushed amid ruins and under death's shade.

2 We all the day long for Thy sake are consumed,

Defeated and helpless, to death we are doomed;
Then why dost Thou tarry ? Jehovah, awake,
Nor spurn us forever; arise for oiu: sake.

Forgetting our bin-den of grief and disgrace?
Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust;

2 Mount Zion, glorious and fair, 3 Within her dwellings for defense [known,
Gives joy to people in all lands; Our God has made His presence
The city of the mighty King And hostile kings, in sudden fear,
In majesty securely stands. Have fled as ships by tempests blown.

4 With our own eyes we have beheld

What oft our fathers told before,
That God Who in His Zion dwells
Will keep her safely evermore.

2 Where'er Thy Name, O God, is known, 4 Encompass Zion, count her towers,
Where'er Thy glorious fame extends, And mark her strong defenses well
There also is Thy praise proclaimed, Consider allher palaces,
Far as the earth's remotest ends. And to your sons her glory tell.

3 Thy hand is full of righteousness; 5 This mighty God

forever lives
Let Zion's gladness then be great, Our God and Saviour
to abide.
And let her daughters sing for joy And till our pilgrim days shall end
And all Thy judgments celebrate. Will ever be our faithful guide.

That ye her strength may know, This mighty God of grace
Mark her defenses well; Is ours forevermore;
Her royal palaces behold Yea, He our Saviour will abide.

Let them with thankfulness proclaim That to the sons that follow you
The judgments of their King. Her glories you may tell;

And my mouth shall wisdom speak; Though they boast of wealth imtold,
Hearken while in lyric strain None can bid his brother live,
I make hidden wisdom plain. None to God a ransom give.

3 Why should I to fear give way If from death one would be free
When I see the evil day, And corruption never see,
When with wickedness my foes Costly is life's ransom price,
Shall surround me and oppose? Far beyond all sacrifice.

Your mouths to evil words ye give,
Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile,
Ye glory in your brother's shame.
Your mother's son do ye defame.

3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept,

And this has been your secret thought,
That I was wholly as yourselves,
To take your evil deeds as nought;

In brightness that excels.

Nor silence shall He keep;
Devouring fire shall herald Him,
About Him storms shall sweep.

4 Then to the heavensabove

He from His throne shall call,
The earth His kingly voice shall hear,
He is the Judge of all.

5 Let all My chosen saints

Before Me gathered be.
Those that by sacrifice have sealed

For then I would fly far away And He thy petition will hear.
And seek for the rest that I love,
Thy burden now cast onthe Lord,
Where trouble no more could dismay. 4

3 Nay, soul, call on God all the day; The righteous who trust in His word
The Lord for thy help will appear; Unmoved shall forever remain.

 Prayer for Deliverance
2 What time I am afraid My foes shall backward turn
I put my trust in Thee; When I appeal to Thee,
In God I rest, and praise For this I surely know,
His word, so rich and free; That God is still for me.
In God I put my trust,
In God, the Lord, I rest,
I neither doubt nor fear,
His word of grace I praise,
For man can never harm
His promise stands secure,
With God my helper near.
Nor fear nor foe dismays;
3 All day they wrest my words. In God I put my trust,
Their thoughts are full of hate; I neither doubt nor fear,
They meet, they lurk, they watch, For man can never harm
As for my soul they wait; With God my helper near.
Shall they by wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
Upon me are Thy vows,
OGod of righteousness, God, in Whom I live;

Destroy them in Thy might.

The sacrifice of praise
To Thee I now will give;
4 Thou knowest all my woes, For Thou hast saved from death,
Thou my tears;
treasure From falling kept me free.
Are they not in Thy book, That in the light of life
Where all my life appears ? My walk may be with Thee.

From|Thy abundant store The earth Thy mercy fills,
The waters of the spring-time, The wilderness is fruitful,
Enriching it once more. And joyful are the hills;
The seed by Thee provided With corn the vales are covered,
Is sown o'er hill and plain, The flocks in pastures graze;
And Thou with gentle showers All nature joins in singing
Dost bless the springing grain. A
joyful song of praise.

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

Redeem me from the grave. For pity and relief.

O answer me in grace, And taunting words they spake;
And in the riches of Thy love They gave me vinegar to drink,
O turn to me Thy face. My burning thirst to slake.

4 Hide not Thy face from my distress, 8 Their peace and plenty be their snare,
A speedy answer send; In blindness let them grope;
Draw near to me, my soul redeem, Thy indignation on them pour,
From all my foes defend. And desolate their hope.

5 Well known to Thee is my reproach. 9 Because they proudly persecute

My shame and my disgrace; Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite,
The adversaries of my soul Let them be blotted from Thy book
Are all before Thy face. And banished from Thy sight.

2 Cast me not off when hoary age

Becomes my weary lot,
And in the days of failing strength
Do Thou forsake me not.

3 My foes are strong and confident,

For I to them appear
As one forsaken by his God,
With none to help me near.

4 My God, be Thou not far from me,

Makehaste to hear my call;
Ashamed, consumed be all my foes,
Dishonored let them fall.

5 But I will ever hope in Thee.

My ceaseless praise is Thine;
I will declare Thy countless deeds
Of truth and grace divine.

6 Yea, I will tell the mighty acts

Performed by God the Lord;
Thy righteousness, and Thine alone,
With praise I will record.

7 For from my early youth, O God,

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

2 Thy perfect righteousness, God, O

The height of heaven exceeds;
O who is like to Thee, hast Who
Performed such mighty deeds ?

3 Thou Who hast sent me many griefs

Wilt yet my soul restore.
And out of sorrow's lowest depths
Wilt bring me forth once more.

4 O turn again and comfort me,

My waning strength increase,
And for Thy faithfulness, O God,
My praise shall never cease.
5 Thou Holy One of Israel,
To Thee sweet songs I raise;
The soul Thou hast redeemed from death
Shall give Thee joyful praise.

6 My enemies that seek my hurt

Thy help has put to shame;
My thankful tongue will ceaselessly
Thy righteousness proclaim.

Shall bow before His throne; His rule all nations hail;

And He shall rule alone. When other helpers fail.

While endless generations run

And evermore shall peace extend;
From sea to sea shall be His sway.

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

3 In garments of boasting and violence decked,

With wealth more abundant than heart could expect,
They scoflf, and the helpless they proudly oppress.
The heavens and the earth they assume to possess.

 A Vindication of God's Ways
4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain
The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain;
They question God's knowledge and boldly defy
The might and the justice of God the Most High.

5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace,

While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase.
And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain.
That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain.

6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled,

The end journey I clearly beheld;
of life's

I saw in what peril ungodly men stand

With sudden destruction and ruin at hand.

7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream.

So God will despise them, though great they may seem;
My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought,
Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought.

Remember Zion's mount profaned, In safety through the mighty sea
Thy ancient dwelling-place. Our fathers Thou hast brought.

3 In ruin long Thy temple lies; 9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
Arise, O God of grace. The pride of boastful man,
And see the ruin foes have wrought And for Thypeople made a path
Within Thy holy place. Where mighty waters ran.

Amid Thy courts are lifted high 10 The day is Thine, and Thine the

Have laid Thy temple low.
And changing seasons run.

Where Thou hast set Thy Name, Against Thee proudly speak;
The sanctuaries of our God Preserve Thy saints from wickedmen,
Are given to the flame. Be mindful of the meek.

6 We see no signs of power divine, 12 Fulfil, O Lord, Thy covenant,

No prophet speaks for Thee, Our strong protector be.
And none can tell, and none can know. For in the earth are dark abodes
How long these woes shall be. Of crime and cruelty.

7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy 13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame,
And shame reproach our land ? No longer in Thy sight
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes -
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
With Thy almighty hand ? Lord, vindicate the right.

Excellent and glorious art Thou, When from heaven Thy sentence
With Thy trophies from the fray; sounded,
Thou hast slain the valiant-hearted, All the earth in fear was still,
Wrapt in sleep of death are they; While to save the meek and lowly
When Thy anger once is risen, God in judgment wrought His will;
Who can stand in that dread day ? Even the wrath of man shall praise
Thy designs it shall fulfil. [ Thee,

4 Vow and pay ye to Jehovah,

Him your God forever own;
Allmen, bring your gifts before Him,
Worship Him, and Him alone;
Mighty kings obey and fear Him,
Princes bow before His throne.

To save the meek from wrong and shame.
The earth stood still and greatly feared;
Then forth from heaven His sentence came.

3 The wrath of man shall praise the Lord,

Restrained by His almighty will;
Your vows to God the King record.
Your covenant made with Him fulfil.

4 Let all to Him their presents bring,

To Him Whom all the world should fear;
Ye kings and princes, own your King,

2 My heart inquired with anxious care, 4 These doubts are my infirmity,
Will God forever spurn? My thoughts at once reply;
Shall we no more His favor see? I call back years of God's right hand,
Will mercy ne'er return? The years of God Most High.

3 Forever shall His promise fail? 5 I will commemorate, O Lord,

Has God forgotten grace? Thy wondrous deeds of old,
Has He withdrawn His tender love, And meditate upon Thy works
In anger hid His face? Of power and grace imtold.

6 O God, most holy is Thy way.

Most perfect, good, and right;
Thou art the only living God,
The God of wondrous might.

The might of the Lord,
praises, the works, the
For hath commanded that what He hath done
He
Be passed in tradition from father to son.

3 Let children thus learn from history's light

To hope in our God and walk in His sight.
The God of their fathers to fear and obey.
And ne'er like their fathers to turn from His way.

4 The story be told, to warn and restrain.

Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain,
Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near.
Who kept not God's covenant nor walked in His fear.

5 God's wonderful works to them He had shown,

His marvelous deeds their fathers had known;
He made for their pathway the waters divide,
His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide.

6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst,

And forth from the rock caused water to burst;
Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said,
Can He Who gave water supply us with bread?
i8o
 Lessons from the Past

7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot

To hope in their God, and trusted Him not;
Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky
And rained down the manna in richest supply.

8 With bread from on high their need He supplied,

And more did He do when thankless they sighed;
The strong winds commanding from south and from east,
He sent them abundance of quail for their feast.

9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose,

Till God in His wrath o'erwhelmed them with woes;
He slew of their strongest and smote their young men,
But still imbelieving they sinned even then.

ID Because of their sin He smote with His rod,

And then they returned and sought for their God
Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High,
Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie.

II Not right with their God in heart and in will,

They faithlessly broke His covenant still;
But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay.
Forgave them and oft turned His anger away.

12 His pity was great, though often they sinned.

For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind;
Yet though His compassion and grace they beheld,
They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled.

13 They limited God, the Most Holy One,

And hindered the work His grace had begim;
The hand that was mighty to save they forgot,
The day of redemption remembering not.

14 Ungrateful and blind , no longer they thought

Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought,
Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red,
And plagues in God's anger were heaped on their head.

15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain,

In Egypt's abodes the first-born were slain,
And how all God's people were led forth like sheep.
The flock He delighted in safety to keep.

2 Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe,

He caused them with ease and safety to go;
His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought
To dwell in the mountain the Lord's hand had bought.

3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair;

The nations that dwelt in wickedness there
He drove out before them with great overthrow,
And gave to His people the tents of the foe.

4 Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord,

Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred.
And God in His anger withdrew from them then.
No longer delighting to dwell among men.

5 He gave them to death in battle, although

His glory and strength were scorned by the foe;
Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed,
Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead.
182
 Reminders from Israel's History
6 Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might
Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight;
Again to His people His favor He showed,
And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode.
7 His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep.
From tending his flock, the people to keep;
So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might
Protected and fed them and led them aright.

2 My mouth shall speak in parables
Of hidden truths of old,
Which, handed down from age to age,
To us our fathers told.

3 We will not from their children hide

Jehovah's worthy praise,
But tell the greatness of His strength,
His wondrous works and ways.
4 A testimony and a law
The Lord our God decreed,
And bade our fathers teach their sons,
That they His ways might heed.
5 He willed that each succeeding race
His deeds might learn and know.
That children's children to their sons
Might all these wonders show.
6 Let children learn God's righteous ways
And on Him stay their heart,
That they may not forget His works
Nor from His ways depart.

Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
That they may pluck who pass along the way?
Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all
And feed upon Thy vine by night and day.
O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine
Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand.
The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine,
For it is burned with fire, no more to stand;
Thy people perish in Thy anger sore
Because Thy face now shines on them no more.

4 O My people, hear pleadings; My
that thou wouldst hearken now;
No strange worship shalt thou offer.
Nor to idols shalt thou bow.
5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee,
And from cruel bondage freed;
Open wide thy mouth of longing;

6 But My
people would not hearken,
Yea, they would not yield to Me;
So I left them in their blindness,
Their own counselors to be.
7 If My people would obey Me,
Gladly walking in My ways,
Soon would I, their foes subduing,
Fill their lips with songs of praise.

8 All the haters of Jehovah

Shall His clemency implore,
And the days of those that love Him
Shall endure for evermore.

9 Yea, with wheat the very finest

I their hunger will supply.
Bid the very rocks yield honey
That shall fully satisfy.

2 A single day within Thy courts, A sun and shield is God, the Lord,

Where I Thy beauty see, To lighten and defend;

Is better than a thousand days, The Lord to such as look to Him
My God, apart from Thee. Will grace and glory send;
A lowly station in Thy house To those that walk in righteousness
Were dearer to my heart No good will He deny;
Than in the tents of wickedness O Lord of Hosts, how blest are they
To claim the chiefest part. Who on Thy grace rely.

Has found where she may build her nest
And brood her young in safety there;
Thy altars as my rest I sing,
O Lord of Hosts, my God, my King.

3 Blest they who in Thy house abide.

They still to Thee shall render praise;
Blest they who in Thy strength confide.
And in whose hearts are Zion's ways;
Though passing through the vale of tears.
Like springs of joy Thy grace appears.

4 Advancing still from strength to strength.

They onward go where saints have trod,
Tillevery one appears at length
In Zion's courts before his God;
Jehovah, God of Hosts, give ear,
Our fathers' God, in mercy hear.

Upon us look, O God, our shield, 6 Jehovah, God our Shield and Sun,
The face of Thy anointed see; Will grace and glory surely give;
A thousand other days can yield No good will He withhold from one
No gladness like one day with Thee; Who in His sight shall rightly live;
Though only at Thy door I wait, O Lord of Hosts, most blest is he
No tents of sin give joy so great. Who puts his steadfast trust in Thee.

Didst turn Thy dreadful wrath away, To men of faith and godly fear,
In grace Thy people. Lord, return, And glory in our land shall dwell [well.
And let Thy wrath no longer bum. When we shall heed God's precepts

3 O will Thy anger never cease. 6 Now truth agrees with mercy mild,
Forever shall Thy wrath increase ? Now law and peace are reconciled;
Revive and quicken us once more, Behold the truth from earth arise,
And Thy salvation's joy restore. With justice shining from the skies.

And show us Thy salvation, Lord; And harvests all our land shall crown;
Yea, Thou wilt answer us in peace, Before Him righteousness abides,

To those His holy Name that fear;
Thus glory dwells in all our land.
Now heavenly truth unites with grace,
And righteousness and peace embrace,
In full accord they ever stand.

3 Truth springing forth the earth shall crown,

And righteousness from heaven look down,
And God on us His goodness shed;
Our land shall then with plenty flow,
Before Him righteousness shall go,
And cause us in His steps to tread.

'Neath Thy wrath I am oppressed; Hear, Lord, my sup'plication,
All the billows of affliction Hear and save me e'er I die.
Overwhelm my soul distressed. Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders
Thou hast made my friends despise me, And Thy mercy to the dead ?
And companionless I go, Let me live to tell Thy praises,
Bound, and helpless in my bondage. By Thy loving-kindness led.

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

My arm his strength shall well sustain. When sun and moon have passed

Death, with swift and sudden warning, Lord, return, regard our sadness,
Calls us from life's dream away. With Thy servants now abide;
Like the grass, green in the morning, Fill our days with joy and gladness,
Withered e'er the close of day. With Thy mercy satisfied.

In Thy wrath our spirits languish.

Sinful 'neath Thy

All our days are passed in anguish. Bless us now with gladsome days;
In Thy wrath we pine and die. Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Threescore years and ten we tarry. Let their children learn Thy praise.
Fourscore years the strong may On us let the grace and beauty

Long the load of grief to carry, Strengthen us for noble duty

And newborn generations rise; And unto grief and sorrow doomed;
A thousand years are passed away, Before Thy clear and searching sight
And all to Thee are but a day; Our secret sins are brought to light;
Yea, like the watches of the night, • Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die,

Before the wonders of Thy hands; With royal strength and dignity;

For in the day when sinners fall

Nor His inheritance forsake;
Just judgment shall at length prevail,
And upright hearts shall courage take.

Against the wicked in the land?
Against iniquity and wrong
What man for me will valiant stand?

9 Unless the Lord had been my help.

My life had quickly passed away;
But when my foot had almost slipped,
O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay.
10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind
Thy comforts. Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness, though throned in might,
Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee?

11 The wicked, in their might arrayed,

Against the righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I flee for help.
He is my refuge and my tower.

The heathen gods are idols vain; Tell all the world Jehovah reigns,
Jehovah made the skies. The universal King.
Great honor is before His face, The world shall therefore stand un-
And majesty divine; moved,
Within His holy dwelling-place Established by His might;
Both strength and beauty shine. And just is He to judge the wrong
And vindicate the right.
3 Let all the peoples of the earth
Give glory to the Lord, 5 Let heaven and earth and sounding sea
Give Him the glory due His Name To Him glad tribute bring;
And strength to Him accord; Let and wood and all therein

With offerings come ye to His courts, Before Jehovah sing;
Li holy beauty bow, For, lo, He comes to judge the earth,
Let all the earth with reverence come And all the world shall see
And serve Jehovah now. His everlasting faithfulness,
His truth and equity.

2 Tell all the world His wondrous ways,

Tell heathen nations far and near;
Great is the Lord, and great His praise,
And Him alone let nations fear.

3 The heathen gods are idols vain;

The shining heavens the Lord supports;
Both light and honor lead His train,
While strength and beauty fill His courts.

4 Let every tongue and every tribe

Give to the Lord due praise and sing;
All glory unto Him ascribe.
Come, throng His courts, and offerings bring.

5 O fear and bow, adorned with grace.

And each land that God is King;
tell
The earth He founded in its place,
And justice to the world will bring.

6 Let heaven be glad, let earth rejoice.

The teeming sea resound with praise;
Let waving fields lift high their voice.
And all the trees their anthem raise.

7 So let them shout before our God,

For, lo, He comes. He comes with might,
To wield the sceptre and the rod,
To judge the world with truth and right.

This to the coming age declare,
That they His holy Name may bless.

Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive's moan
And save His people doomed to die.

2 The Lord remembers we are dust, 4 Unchanging is the love of God,

And allour frailty knows; From age to age the same,
Man's days are like the tender grass, Displayed to all who do His will
And as the flower he grows. And reverence His Name.

3 The flower is withered by the wind 5 Those who His gracious covenant keep
That smites with blighting breath; The Lord will ever bless;
So man is quickly swept away Their children's children shall rejoice
Before the blast of death. To see His righteousness.

3 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy
And compassion for distress,
Slow to anger and abundant
In His grace and tenderness.
He will not be angry alway.
Nor will He forever chide;
Though we oft have sinned against Him,
Still His love and grace abide.

4 As the heavens are high above us.

Great His love to us has proved;
Far as east from west is distant,
He has all our sins removed.
As a father loves his children.
Feeling pity for their woes,
So the Lord to those who fear Him
Mercy and compassion shows.

Most slow to anger, plenteous in love;
Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him,
Boundless and endless as the heavens above.

Tender and kind to all who fear His Name,
For well He knows our weakness and our frailty,

The lightning and wind His mission perform;
The earth He has founded her station to keep,
And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep.
3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged;
His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged;
Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound.
Forbidding the waters to cover the groimd.
4 He causes the springs of water to flow
In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below;
Beside them with singing the birds greet the day,
And there the beasts gather their thirst to allay.

2 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed,

And over the earth their branches are spread;
They keep in their shelter the birds of the air,
The life of each creature the Lord makes His care.

3 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,

The slow changing moon shows forth God's design;
The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor delays.

4 The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,

The lions creep forth, God's bounty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.

5 How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!

The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro.
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.

6 Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;

Thy hand opens wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.

2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, 7 Against His own inheritance
The promised land of God, Jehovah's wrath arose,
And tempted Him to make them fall His chosen people He condemned
And scatter them abroad. To serve their heathen foes.

3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, 8 Though from their harsh oppressors'

And God their sin repaid; hand
Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, Ofttimes He set them free, [low
And so the plague was stayed. Rebellious still, they were brought
In their iniquity.
4 The Lord approved the righteous act
Of him who sin abhorred, 9 When imto God they cried. He heard
And honored him for evermore And tiuned again His face,
With just and great reward. In boimdless love remembering
The covenant of His grace.
5 By wicked strife they angered God,
His wrath they did provoke; 10 He even touched their captors' hearts,
And, stirred by their rebellious cries, And made their very foes
Their leader rashly spoke. Compassionate and pitiful
To feel His people's woes.
6 Ensnared, they served the heathen
gods. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God,
And by them were beguiled; From alien lands reclaim,
The blood of children sacrificed That we may triumph in Thy praise
The very land defiled. And bless Thy holy Name.

12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God,

All praise to Him accord;
Let all the people say. Amen.
Praise ye, praise ye the Lord.

2 From captivity released, 4 To Jehovah then they cried

From the south and from the north, In their trouble, and He saved;
From the west and from the east, He Himself became their guide.
In His love He brought them forth, Led them to the rest they craved
Ransomed out of every land By a pathway straight and sure,
From the adversary's hand. To a city strong, secure.

3 Wandering in the wilderness, 5 Sons of men, awake to praise

Far they roamed the desert way, God the Lord Who reigns above,
Foimd no settled dwelling-place Gracious in His works and ways,
Where in peace secure to stay. Wondrous in redeeming love;
Till with thirst and hunger pressed Longing souls He satisfies,
Courage sank within their breast. Hungry hearts with good supplies.

Down to dreadful depths again,
Troubled much, their courage lost.
Reeling, they like drunken men
Find their skill and power o'erthrown;
None can save but God alone.

3 To Jehovah then they cry

In their trouble, and He saves,
Drives the darkness from the sky.
Calms the storm and stills the waves,
Makes their sad forebodings cease,
To their haven guides in peace.

2 Once again the waters well, 4 His contempt the princes taste;
All the desert blossoms fair; Driven out they helpless fly,
There He makes the hungry dwell, Wandering in the trackless waste;
There a city they prepare, But He lifts the needy high,
Plant their vines and sow their fields. Where no annoy,
evil shall

And the earth her increase yields. And with children gives him joy.

3 Now He blesses them

indeed, 5 When His righteous judgments come,
They are greatly multiplied; Strong to bless and to destroy.
On the hills their cattle feed, All iniquity is dumb,
Fast increasing, spreading wide; All the righteous sing for joy;
Then again they are brought low Who Jehovah wisely heed,
Through oppression, grief, and woe. In His works His mercy read.

2 They wandered in the wilderness, O praise the Lord, ye sons of men,

By want and hunger pressed; For all His goodness shown
In trouble then they cried to God, O praise Him for the wondrous works
He saved their souls distressed. To you He has made known.
He made the way before them plain, The longing soul that turns to Him
Himself became their guide; He fully satisfies;
He brought them to a city strong He fills with good each hungering one
Wherein they might abide. That for His mercy cries.

My love turns not their hate away;
The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine,
To pray, and only pray, is mine.

The slave of sin let him remain;
Against him let his foe be turned.
His sin be judged, his prayer be spumed.
5 Let sudden death upon him break.
His office let another take.
His children and his widowed wife
Pursue the homeless beggar's life.
6 Let creditors consume his toil
And strangers make his wealth their spoil;
Let none in pity heed his claim,
Cut off his race, blot out his name.
7 His parents' sins be not forgot
TillThou from earth his memory blot, .

Since he remembered not to show

Compassion to the sons of woe.

Unblest, with cursing he is clothed;
For thus the justice of the Lord
My adversaries will reward.

Let me of Thy good grace partake;

To heal my wounded, stricken heart.

Like shadows swift my days decline,
And when my foes my weakness see
They shake the head in scorn at me.

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

Make me know Thy truth, I pray;

And esteem them more than gold;
All Thy precepts are most righteous;

From sin's dominion save my soul,
From man's oppression set me free,
That I may yield to Thy control.

And teach me

Because Thy statutes are despised,

Shall hold unbroken sway, Forsaking truth and right.
Lest unto base transgression With wicked men shall perish,
The righteous turn away. God will their sin requite.
Thy favor be imparted From sin Thy saints defending,

The good with good reward. And everlasting peace.

It is with His people now; Thou hast ever loved her well;
We will go into His temple, This My resting-place forever,
At His footstool we will bow. Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell.
With the ark Thy might revealing, Surely I will bless and help her,
Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Feed her poor, her saints make glad,
Let Thy priests be clothed with And her priests shall stand before Me
justice, In salvation's garments clad.
Let Thy joyful saints be blest.

3 Let the king behold Thy favor I will cause themight of David
For Thy servant David's sake, Ever more and more to grow,
Unto whom a sacred promise, On the path of My Anointed
Sure and faithful. Thou didst make. I will make a lamp to glow;
keep Thy covenant
If his children All His enemies shall perish,
And Thy testimony own, I will cover them with shame.
Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, But His crown shall ever flourish,
They shall sit upon his throne. Blessed be His holy Name.

Were smitten by God's mighty hand;

And made them inherit the land.

Wherein our God delights to dwell,

Let my right hand forget her skill
If I forget to love thee well.

Then let my tongue from utterance cease,
If any earthly joy to me
Be dear as Zion's joy and peace.

Required that we prepare for them a song;
Yea, there our captors asked for mirth and praise,
Required a song of Zion's happy days.

3 O how shall we thus sing at their command

Songs of the Lord, our King, in this strange land?
O Zion, if I e'er forget thy woe.
Let my right hand its skill no longer know.

4 Yea, let my tongue, I pray, all silent be,

If I do not alway remember thee;

Thy creatures look to Thee for food, Their mighty Saviour He will be
From day to day supplied, When unto Him they cry.
And Thou dost for their sustenance All those that set their love on Him
With open hand provide. Shall full salvation know.
The Lord is right in all His ways, But wicked men and wicked ways
His works His love declare, The Lord will overthrow.
And He is nigh to every one My mouth shall bless the Lord my God
That breathes the trustful prayer. And His praise proclaim;

The Lord will satisfy; To bless His holy Name.

Thy glory shall be told, His tender mercies rest;
Thy honor and Thy majesty By all His works He shall be praised,
In memory I will hold; By all His saints be blest.
Thy mighty power and greatness
Shall all mankind confess, 4 The glory of His kingdom
And tell the story of Thy love, Proclaimed abroad shall be,
And sing Thy righteousness. That all may know His mighty deeds
And glorious majesty;

Nor for help on man depend;

And his purposes shall end.

3 Happy is the man that chooses

Israel's God to be his aid;
He is blest whose hope of blessing
On the Lord his God is stayed.

4 Heaven and earth the Lord created,

Seas and all that they contain;
He delivers from oppression,
Righteousness He will maintain.

5 Food He daily gives the hungry.

Sets the mourning prisoner free,
Raises those bowed down with anguish,
Makes the sightless eyes to see.

6 Well Jehovah loves the righteous,

And the stranger He befriends.
Helps the fatherless and widow,
Judgment on the wicked sends.

Through all ages He is King;
Unto Him, thy God, O Zion,
Joyful hallelujahs sing.

The starry hosts He numbers, No human power delights Him,
He them all by name;
calls No earthly pomp or pride;
His greatness and His wisdom He loves the meek who fear Him
His wondrous works proclaim; And in His love confide;
The meek He Ufts to honor, Then praise thy God, O Zion,
He humbles sinful pride; His gracious aid confess;
Give thanks to Him and utter He gives thee peace and plenty,
His praises far and wide. His gifts thy children bless.

The heavens with clouds He covers, He sends His swift commandment,

He sends the cheering rain; And snow and ice enfold
The slopes of all the mountains The world, and none are able
He fills with grass and grain; To stand before His cold.
To beast and bird His goodness Again He gives commandment;
Their daily food supplies; The winds of summer blow.
He cares for all His creatures. The snow and ice are melted,
Attentive to their cries. Again the waters flow.

His statutes and His judgments

He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever,
And Hallelujah sing.

 Preface

The following selections of Scripture have been arranged to be read

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