The following may be sung at the end of each Psalm:

Glory be to the Father, | and' to the | Son: || and | to the | Holy | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever | shall be: || world | without end. |

A. | men.

f BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, || nor sitteth in the seat | of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of' the | Lord; || and in his law doth Che medi' tate | day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit | in his season; || his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: | but are like the chaff which the | wind driveth a- | way.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand' in the | judgment, || nor sinners in the congre- gation | of the righteous.

f6 For the Lord knoweth the way' of the righteous: || 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-gether, against the Lord, and a-gainst his an- | ointed, | saying, 3 "Let us break their | bands a- | sunder, || and cast a-way their | cords | from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall | laugh: || the Lord shall | have them in de- | rision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his | wrath, || and vex them | in his | sore dis-pleasure.

6 "Yet have I set my | king || upon my | holy | hill of | Zion."

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said | unto me, || Thou art my Son; this day have I be- | gotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine in- | heritance, || 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.

10 Be wise now therefore, | O ye kings: ||be instructed, ye | judges of the earth.

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 | trust in him.

PSALM III.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

LORD, how are

they that rise | up a

they in- | creased that | trouble me! || many are gainst me.

2 Many there be which say of' my soul, || There is no | help for | him in God.

f 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.

sus

5 I laid me down and
| tained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten

slept; || f I awaked; | for the Lord

thousands of people, || that have set

themselves against 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 ' -| godly.

Salvation belongeth | unto the | Lord: || thy blessing | is up- | on thy!

PSALM IV.

Psalms iv. and v. To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

Dr. COOKE.

HEAR me when I call, O God' of my righteousness: || thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and I 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.

4 Stand in awe, and | sin not: || 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 | countenance up- 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- | sider my | medi- | tation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: || for unto thee will I pray.

f 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, |O| Lord; || in the morning will I direct my prayer unto | thee, and I will look | up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath | pleasure in | wickedness: || neither shall evil | dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not | stand in' thy | sight: || thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

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 | enemies; || 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.

10 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- 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; || with favour wilt thou | (compass him as with a shield.

To the chief Musician, on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Psalms vi. and vii.

Dr. CROTCH.

O LORD, rebuke me not | in thine | anger, || neither chasten me | in thy hot dis- | pleasure.

2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; | for ' I am | weak: || O Lord, heal me; for my | bones are | vexed.

3 My soul is also | sore | vexed: | but | thou, O Lord, how long? 4 Return, O Lord, de- liv' er my | soul: || oh save me | for thy | 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 | swim; || 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.

9 The Lord hath heard my suppli- cation; || the Lord | will receive my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: || let them return and be a- | shamed suddenly.

PSALM VII.

Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do 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 | there is none' to de- | liver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done | this; ||if there be in- | iqui'ty | in 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 persecute 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 rage of mine enemies: || and awake for me to the judgment | that thou hast commanded.

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 my righteousness, and according to mine in- tegri' ty that is in me.
