31. old Version of the One Hundredth Psalm. 1 ALL people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 The Lord, ye know, is God, indeed, Without our aid he did us make; We are his flock, he doth us feed,

And for his sheep, he doth us take.

3 Oh, enter, then, his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

3 For he's the Lord, supremely good, His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure.

34.

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving."
Psalm 100.

1 YE nations round the earth, rejoice

Before the Lord, your sovereign King: Serve him with cheerful heart and voice: With all your tongues his glory sing. 2 The Lord is God; 'tis he alone

Doth life, and breath, and being give:
We are his work, and not our own;
The sheep that on his pastures live.
3 Enter his gates with songs of joy,

With praises to his courts repair;
And make it your divine employ

To pay your thanks and honors there. 4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind, Great is his grace, his mercy sure; And the whole race of man shall find His truth from age to age endure.

DOXOLOGY.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom earth and heaven adore, Be glory as it was of old,

Is now, and shall be evermore!

13. An old Version of the Eighty-fourth Psalm.

1 How lovely are thy dwellings fair,
O Lord of hosts! how dear
The pleasant tabernacles arc,

Where thou dost dwell so near:
2 My soul doth long and, fainting, sigh
Thy courts, O Lord, to see;
My heart and flesh, aloud do cry,
O living God, for thee!

3 Happy, who in thy house reside,
Where thee they ever praise;
Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide,
And in their hearts thy ways.

4 Thy words the raging winds control,
And rule the boisterous deep;
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep.

5 Heaven, carth, and air, and sea are thine,
And the dark world of hell;
How did thine arm in vengeance shine,
When Egypt durst rebel!

6 Justice and judgment are thy throne,
Yet wondrous is thy grace;
While truth and mercy joined in one,
Invite us near thy face.

"In this will I be confident."-Psalm 46.

1 God is our refuge and our strength,
When trouble's hour is near:
A very present help is he;

Therefore we will not fear.

2 Athough the pillars of the earth
Shall clean removéd be,

The very mountains carried forth,
And cast into the sea;

52."

"Be Thou exalted, O God, above the Ileavens." Psalm 57.

1 O God, my heart is fully bent

To magnify thy name;

My tongue, with cheerful songs of praise, Shall celebrate thy fame.

2 Awake, my lute, nor thou, my harp,

Thy warbling notes delay;
While I, with early hymns of joy,
Prevent the dawning day.

3 To all the listening tribes, O Lord,
Thy wonders I will tell;
And to those nations sing thy praise
That round about us dwell;-

4 Because thy mercy's boundless height
The highest heaven transcends,
And far beyond th' aspiring clouds
Thy faithful truth extends.

5 Be thou, O God, exalted high

Above the starry frame;

And let the world, with one consent,
Confess thy glorious name.

126. The

"The Lord sitteth King for ever."-Psalm 29.

1 YE hosts of heaven, ye mighty ones,

Ascribe, with one accord,

The strength, the power, the majesty,
To your almighty Lord.

2 Give glory to his holy name,
And honor him alone;
In beauty meet of holiness
Approach his lofty throne.

3 Jehovah's voice of majesty
Is on the waters wide;
The God of glory thundereth,
And on the seas doth ride.
4 Jehovah sits upon the floods,
And tempests rage in vain;

Jehovah sits as Sovereign King,
And evermore shall reign.

167. Eternity of God's Mercy.—Psalm 186.

1 Он, praise the Lord! for he is good;
In him we rest obtain:
His mercy has through ages stood,
And ever shall remain.

2 Let all the people of the Lord
His praises spread around;

Let them his grace and love record,
Who have salvation found.

3 Now let the east in him rejoice,
The west its tribute bring,

The north and south lift up their voice
In honor of their King.

4 Oh, praise the Lord! for he is good;
In him we rest obtain:

His mercy has through ages stood,
And ever shall remain.

486. "Oh, how I love thy Law !"—Psalm 119.

1 Oн, how I love thy holy law!
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.

2 My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;

My soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel, Lord.

3 How doth thy word my heart engage! How well employ my tongue!

And in my tiresome pilgrimage
Yields me a heavenly song.

4 When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.
