2.

'Tis my delight to praise the Lord,
In soul, in heart, and voice:
The humble men shall hear thereof,
And heartily rejoice.

3.

Come then and let us magnify
The ever living Lord;
Let us exalt His holy name
Always with one accord.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Immortal glory be;

As was, and is, and shall be still
To all eternity.

PSALM XXXVII.-Ver. 5, 23, 24, 28.

5.

CAST both thyself and thy affairs
On God with perfect trust;

With patience wait, and thou shalt see
Th' effect both sure and just.

23.

The Lord the just man's steps doth guide,
And all his ways doth bless:
To ev'ry thing he takes in hand
He giveth good success.

24.

Though he doth fall, yet he is sure
Not utterly to sink;

For God upholds him with His hand,

And from him will not shrink.

28.

Yea, God so loveth equity,
And shews to His such grace,
That He preserveth them, but doth
Cut off the wicked race.

PSALM XXXIX.-Ver. 6, 7, 8.

6.

LORD, Thou hast pointed out our life,
In length much like a span;
Our age is nothing unto Thee,
So vain is every man.

7.

Man walketh like a shade, and doth

In vain himself annoy

In getting goods, and cannot tell
Who shall the same enjoy.

8.

Therefore, O Lord, what wait we for,
What help do we desire ?
Truly our hope is e'en in Thee,

We nothing else require.

PSALM XLI.-Ver. 1, 2, 3.

1.

THE man is blest that doth provide
For such as needy be;

For in the season perilous,
The Lord will set him free.

B

2.

And He will keep him safe, and make

Him happy in the land,

And not deliver him into

His enemies' strong hand.

3.

And from his bed of languishing,
The Lord will him restore,
And of His goodness turn to health
His sickness and his sore.

PSALM XLIII.-Ver. 3, 4, 5, 6.

3.

O LORD, send out Thy light and truth, And lead me with Thy grace; Which may conduct me to Thy hill, And to Thy dwelling place.

4.

Then shall I to Thy altar go,

With joy to worship there;

And with my heart give thanks to Thee, O God! my God most dear.

5.

Why art thou then so sad, my soul,
And frett'st thus in my breast?
Still trust in God, for Him to praise
I hold it always best.

6.

By Him I have deliverance

From all my pain and grief; He is my God, who doth always At need send me relief.

PSALM LI.-Ver. 10, 11, 12.

10.

MAKE new my heart within my breast,
And frame it to Thy will;
And let Thy Spirit in me, Lord,
My soul with comfort fill.

11.

Cast me not from Thy sight, nor take
Thy Spirit quite away;
The comfort of Thy saving health
Give me again, I pray.

12.

With Thy free Spirit me support,
Then shall transgressors be,
By my instruction and advice,
Converted unto Thee.

PSALM LVII.-Ver. 9, 10, 11.

9.

My heart is set to praise the Lord,
In Him to joy always;

My heart doth ever well accord
To sing His laud and praise.

10.

Awake, my joy; awake, I say,

My lute, my harp, and string; And I myself, before the day,

Will rise, rejoice, and sing.

11.

Among the people I will tell

The goodness of my God;
And shew His praise that doth excel
In heathen lands abroad.

PSALM LXII.-Ver. 1, 2, 7, 8.

1.

My soul to God shall give good heed, And Him alone attend;

Because my health, my hope to speed, Doth all on Him depend.

2.

For He alone is my defence,
My rock, my health, and aid;
He is my stay, and no pretence
Shall make me much dismay'd.

7.

My glory and salvation doth

On Him alone depend;

He is my strength, my stay, my wealth, And still doth me defend.

8.

O put your trust in Him alway,

Ye saints with one accord;

Pour out your hearts to Him, and say, Our trust is in the Lord.
