Is ra el his throne.

I When Isr'el out of Egypt went,
And from a speech unknown;
He Judah made his dwelling-place,
And Israel his throne.

2 The sea beheld and fled away;
The Jordan turned its flow.

Like rams the mountains and like lambs
The hills skipped to and fro.

3 O sea, why fled'st thou? Jordan stream,
Why didst thou turn thy tide?
Ye mountains and ye little hills,
Why leap on ev'ry side?

O tremble, earth, before the Lord, The God of Jacob fear,

Who made the rock a water pool, The flint a fountain clear.

I Lord, not to us, not unto us,
But do thou glory take

To thine own name, ev'n for thy truth
And for thy mercy's sake.

2 O wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God now gone?
But our own God is in the heav'ns;
What pleased him he hath done.

3 Of gold and silver are their gods

Which human hands have wrought. But with their mouths they do not speak, And with their eyes see nought.

4 No smell their nostrils have discerned; No sound their ears have heard; They never move their hands and feet; Their throat emits no word.

5 And like to them shall all become

By whom these gods are made;
Yea, ev'ry one becomes like them
Whose trust on them is stayed.
6 O Isr'el, trust ye in the Lord;
He is their help and shield.

O house of Aaron, trust the Lord; He is their help and shield.

7

ye that do Jehovah fear—
He is their help and shield--
Upon Jehovah put your trust;
He is their help and shield.

8 The Lord of us hath mindful been
And he will bless us still;

He will the house of Isr' el bless,
Bless Aaron's house he will.

9 Both small and great that fear the Lord He will them surely bless.

The Lord will you, you and your seed,
Still more and more increase.

10 O blessed are ye of the Lord

Who made the earth and heav'n,
The heavens are the Lord's, but he
The earth to men hath given.

II The dead who down to silence, go
No song to God can raise;
But we will bless him evermore.
O do Jehovah praise.

En

I I love the Lord because he heard
My supplicating plea;

I while I live will call on him
Who bowed his ear to me.

2 The cords of death on ev'ry side
Encompassed me around;
The sorrows of the grave took hold
I grief and trouble found.

3 Then called I on Jehovah's name
And unto him did say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.

4 The Lord is gracious and is just;
Our God will mercy show,

The Lord preserves the meek in heart;
He saved me when brought low.

5 O thou my soul, do thou return

To thine own quiet rest,

Because the Lord hath dealt in grace,
His bounty hath thee blessed.

7 I have believed and therefore spake; I did affliction see;

I said when I was in my haste
That all men liars be.

8 What shall I render to the Lord,
What shall my off'ring be,
For all the gracious benefits

He hath bestowed on me?

9 I'll take salvation's cup, O Lord,
And on thy name will call.
I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
Before his people all.

10 The death of every saint of thine
Is precious, Lord, to thee;
Thy servant, I, thy handmaid's son,
Thou, Lord, hast set me free.

II Thank-off' rings, Lord, to thee I'll
And on thy name will call. [give
I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
Before his people all.

Even in the midst of thee,

O city of Jerusalem.

Praise to the Lord give ye.

That render help to me, And therefore my desire on those Who hate me I shall see.

6 'Tis better far to trust the Lord
Than on man's aid rely;
Yea, better far to trust the Lord
Than trust in princes high.

Where'er the righteous dwell;

The right hand of the mighty Lord In valor doth excel.

12 The right hand of the mighty Lord Exalted is on high;

The right hand of the mighty Lord Doth ever valiantly.
