Ev'n those that be
Of Isr'el's race,
Near to his grace.
The Lord praise ye,

PSALM CXLIX.

This Psalm was perhaps penned by David when he took the strong hold of Zion from the Jebusites, and represents, (1) Abundant Joys to the people of God, in his relation to delight in, and kindness towards them; ver. 1-5. (2) Abundance of terror to the proudest of their enemies, in their victory and power over them; ver. 6-9.

While I sing, let mine eyes be fixed on Jesus Christ, going forth in his chariots of salvation, subduing his enemies to himself, by the gospel-rod of his strength, in the Apostolic and Milennial period; Rev. xx. 2. and in the chariots of his vengeance, destroying his incorrigible opposers, by the iron rod of his wrath, and treading them under the feet of his saints.

RAISE ye the Lord: unto him sing
a new song and his praise,

PRA

In the assembly of his saints, in sweet psalms do ye raise. 2 Let Isr❜el in his Maker joy, and to him praises sing: Let all that Zion's children are, be joyful in their King.

3 0 let them unto his great name
give praises in the dance:

Let them with timbrel and with harp
in songs his praise advance.

4 For God doth pleasure take in those
that his own people be.

And he with his salvation

the meek will beautify.

And in his glory excellent

let all his saints rejoice:

Let them to him upon their beds alond lift up their voice.

Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd
the high praise of the Lord,
And let them have in their right hand
a sharp two-edged sword;

To execute the vengeance due
upon the heathen all;

And make deserved punishment
upon the people fall.

8 And ev❜n with chains as pris'ners, bind
their kings that them command.
Yea, and with iron fetters strong,
the nobles of their land.

9 On them the judgment to perform
found written in his word:
This honour is to all his saints.
O do ye praise the Lord.

PSALM CL.

This Psalm contains thirteen calls to praise God. It directs; (1) Who ought to praise him; ver. 6. (2) Why they should praise him, viz. that he dwells with men; and for his mighty acts; and his excellent greatness; ver. 1. 2. (3) How he ought to be praised,—in a public, earnest, and skilful manner; ver. 2, 3, 5.

Dare not, my soul, to finish thy notes, and to conclude the book, without commencing an heartiness in the work. Awake then my inward powers, let me even here, begin my high hallelujahs and hosannas to Him, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

PR

RAISE ye the Lord. God's praise within his sanctuary raise :

And to him in the firmament

of his pow'r give ye praise.

2 Because of all his mighty acts,
with praise him magnify:

O praise him as he doth excel
in glorious majesty.

3 Praise him with trumpet's sound: his praise with psaltery advance.

4 With trimbrel, harp, string'd instruments, And organs, in the dance.

5 Praise him on cymbals loud: him praise on cymbals sounding high.

6 Let each thing breathing praise the Lord, Praise to the Lord give ye.

By Babel's streams we sat and wept
David and his afflictions all

Do ye, O congregation

Except the Lord doth build the house

For evil-doers fret thou not

Give ear unto me when I call
Give ear unto my words O Lord,
Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
Give thanks to God; call on his name

God is our refuge and our strength
Great is the Lord and greatly he
God I will bless all times; his praise
God's mercies I will ever sing
God reigneth; let the earth be glad
Had not the Lord been on our side
Hear this all people and give ear
Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock
Help Lord, because the godly man
He that doth in the secret place,
How excellent in all the earth
How long wilt thou forget me Lord
How lovely is his dwelling place

I in the Lord do put my trust
I joy'd, when to the house of God,
I'll the extol, my God, O king
I love the Lord, because my voice
I mercy will and judgment sing
In God's assembly, God doth stand
In Judah's land God is well known
In my distress to God I cry'd,
In thee, O Lord, I put my trust
In thy great indignation

I said, I will look to my ways
I to the hills will lift mine eyes
I waited for the Lord my God
I with my voice cry'd to the Lord
Jehovah hear thee in the day
Judge me O God, and plead my cause
Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk'd
Keep not, O God, we thee entreat,
Let God arise, and scattered,
Like as the hart for water brooks
Lord bless and pity us

Lord from the depths to thee I cry'd
Lord from the ill and froward man
Lord God my Saviour day and night
Lord hasten me to deliver

Lord hear my pray'r, and let my cry
Lord hear my pray❜r, attend my suits
Lord hear my pray'r hide not thyself
Lord hear the right, attend my cry
Lord in thy wrath rebuke me not,
Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
Lord keep me, for I trust in thee

Lord thee I'll praise with all my heart

Lord thee, my God I'll early seek

Lord thou hast been our dwelling place

Lord unto us be merciful
