366 Ev'n those that be 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 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 Let them with timbrel and with harp 4 For God doth pleasure take in those 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 To execute the vengeance due And make deserved punishment 8 And ev❜n with chains as pris'ners, bind 9 On them the judgment to perform 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, O praise him as he doth excel 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. FFNIS. Blessed is he that wisely doth 110 Biess God, my soul; O Lord, my God 262 By Babel's streams we sat and wept Do ye, O congregation Except the Lord doth build the house For evil-doers fret thou not Give ear unto me when I call 24 25 271 266 Give thanks to God, for good is he 337 Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons 78 God is our refuge and our strength 123 127 90 226 246 32 129 209 40 235 32 41 217 I in the Lord do put my trust I said, I will look to my ways Lord from the depths to thee I cry'd Lord hear my pray'r, and let my cry Lord thee I'll praise with all my heart 34 Lord thee, my God I'll early seek 160 Lord thou hast been our dwelling place 232 Lord unto us be merciful 167 |
