PSALM 92. (C. M.) A Psalm of praise for the Sabbath Day. 1 How pleasant and how good it is To thank the LORD Most High! And with repeated hymns of praise His Name to magnify. 2 With every morning's early dawn And of His constant truth each night 3 For through Thy wondrous works, O LORD, 4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, And shall be evermore. PSALM 93. (L. M.) The majesty, power, and glory of the Eternal King, are celebrated in this Psalm, which the Jews acknowledge to be predictive of the kingdom of the Messiah. 1 WITH glory clad, with strength array'd, 2 How surely 'stablish'd is Thy throne, Which shall no change or period see; 3 The floods, O LORD, lift up their voice, 4 Thy promise, LORD, is ever sure; And they, that in Thy house would dwell, That happy station to secure, Must still in holiness excel. PSALM 94. (C. M. D.) The blessedness of the righteous, and their support under afflictions. 1 BLEST is the man, whom Thou, O LORD, In kindness dost chastise; And by Thy sacred rules to walk Dost lovingly advise. For he shall rest and safety find, Whilst God prepares a pit for those, 2 For God will never from His saints PSALM 95. (L. M.) An exhortation to praise and worship God. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews teaches us to consider this Psalm as an address to believers under the Gospel. 1 O COME, loud anthems let us sing, Loud thanks to our Almighty King; To thank Him for His favours past: And bow with adoration there, 4 For He's our God, our Shepherd He; PSALM 96. (L. M. D.) An exhortation to sing the praises of the Messiah, and the glory and blessings of his kingdom. 1 SING to the LORD a new-made song: Her common Patron's praise resound. Who us has with salvation crown'd. 6 2 Proclaim aloud, Messiah reigns! And for this triumph find a voice. 3 For joy let fertile vallies sing, His circuit through the earth to take : From heav'n to judge the world He's come,, With justice to reward and doom. PSALM 97. (L. M.) The spiritual reign of Messiah. 1 JEHOVAH reigns, let all the earth 2 Ye who to serve the LORD aspire, 3 For seeds are sown of glorious light, 4 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the LORD: Deep in your faithful breasts record, And with your thankful tongues confess. PSALM 98. (C. M.) The Prophet extols the miracles and salvation of the Redeemer, and calls upon man, and the whole creation, to rejoice and praise the LORD. 1 SING to the LORD a new-made song, Who wondrous things has done ; 2 The LORD has through the astonish'd world And made His righteous acts appear 3 Of Israel's house His love and truth Wide earth's remotest parts the power 4 Let therefore earth's inhabitants PSALM 99. (C. M.) Under images borrowed from the Old Dispensation, the Psalmist celebrates the holiness, power, and justice of Messiah's spiritual kingdom. 1 JEHOVAH reigns, let therefore all The guilty nations quake; On cherub's wings He sits enthron'd; |
