TO THE NEW EDITION. IN reprinting this selection of Psalms and Hymns the Supplement published last year has been placed at the end. Tate and Brady's Version of the 133rd Psalm has been adopted, the poetry being superior and more consonant to the original than the version formerly given in this selection. In the 104th Psalm (Dr. Vincent's Version) a different verse has been inserted instead of the one, "Rejoice then, O Lord, &c." The 14th Hymn in the former editions, has been omitted it being considered too enthusiastic. A Hymn for a funeral printed last year in the supplement has been inserted in its place. September, 1838.

IMMORTAL King! thro' earth's wide frame, 2. When, wrapt in thought, with wakeful eye, I view the wonders of the sky; Whose frame thy fingers o'er our head 3. Lord, what is man, that in thy care, 4.
