Wilt thou to generations all thine anger forth extend? 6 That in thee may thy people joy, wilt thou not us revive? 7 Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us do thy salvation give. 8 I'll hear what God the Lord will speak: to his folk he'll speak peace, And to his saints; but let them not return to foolishness. 9 To them that feat him surely near is his salvation; That glory in our land may have 10 Truth met with mercy, righteousness and peace kiss'd mutually; 11 Truth springs from earth, and right 8 Lord, there is none among the gods that may with thee compare; And like the works which thou has not any work is there.

St. Mary, Evan. Chant. Flintoft. UPON the hills of holiness he his foundation sets. God, more than Jacob's dwellings all, delights in Sion's gates. Things glorious are said of thee, this man was born therein. And it of Sion shall be said, This man and that man there Was born; and he that is most High himself shall stablish her. When God the people writes, he'll count that this man born was there. There be that sing and play; and all my well-springs in thee are. 38 PSALM LXXXVIII. C.

[were C. M. London New, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock, 3 For troubles great do fill my soul; 89 6 Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves. 7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast me press'd with all thy waves. 8 Thou hast put far from me my friends, thou mad'st them to abhor me; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me. 9 By reason of affliction mine eye mourns dolefully: 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? 1 GOD's mercies I will ever sing; 2 For mercy shall be built, said I, Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ns, 3 I with my chosen One have made a cov'nant graciously; And to my servant, whom I lov'd, 4 That I thy seed establish shall And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain, 5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, And in the congregation 6 For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are! 7 Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev'rence be ador'd. 8 0 thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee? who compass'd round art with thy faithfulness. 9 Ev'n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; And when the waves thereof do thou stillest them again.

My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be ; And in my name his horn and pow'r His hand and pow'r shall reach afar, And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thou art my God alone; And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27 I'll make him my first-born, more than kings of any land.

But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth. Thou hast thy servant's covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan'd his crown, while cast on the ground doth lie. Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. He to all passers-by a spoil, to neighbours is a scorn.
