1 THE heav'ns God's glory do declare, the skies his hand-works preach: 2 Day utters speech to day, and night to night doth knowledge teach.

3 There is no speech nor tongue to which their voice doth not extend:

4 Their line is gone through all the earth, their words to the world's end. In them he set the sun a tent; 5 Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes From 's chamber, as a strong man doth to run his race rejoice.

9 Unspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 They more than gold, yea, much fine
to be desired are:
[gold,

Than honey, honey from the comb
that droppeth, sweeter far.

11 Moreover, they thy servant warn
how he his life should frame:

A great reward provided is
for them that keep the same.

12 Who can his errors understand?
O cleanse thou me within

6 From heav'n's end is his going forth, 13 From secret faults. Thy servant keep

circling to th' end again;
And there is nothing from his heat
that hidden doth remain.

7 God's law is perfect, and converts
the soul in sin that lies:
God's testimony is most sure,
and makes the simple wise.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right,
and do rejoice the heart:

The Lord's command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart.

from all presumptuous sin:

And do not suffer them to have
dominion over me:
Then, righteous and innocent,

I from much sin shall be.

14 The words which from my mouth ceed,

pro

the thoughts sent from my heart, Accept, O Lord, for thou my strength and my Redeemer art.

Display our banners: and the Lord thy prayers all fulfil.

6 Now know I God his king doth save: he from his holy heav'n

Will hear him, with the saving strength by his own right hand giv'n.

7 In chariots some put confidence,
some horses trust upon :
But we remember will the name
of our Lord God alone.

8 We rise, and upright stand, when they are bowed down, and fall.

9 Deliver, Lord; and let the King us hear, when we do call.

1 THE king in thy great strength, O Lord, shall very joyful be:

[In thy salvation rejoice

how veh❜mently shall he!

2 Thou hast bestowed upon him

all that his heart would have; And thou from him didst not withhold whate'er his lips did crave.

3 For thou with blessings him prevent'st of goodness manifold;

And thou hast set upon his head
a crown of purest gold.

4 When he desired life of thee,
thou life to him didst give;
Ev'n such a length of days, that he
for evermore should live.

5 In that salvation wrought by thee
his glory is made great;
Honour and comely majesty
thou hast upon him set.

6 Because that thou for evermore
most blessed hast him made;

And thou hast with thy countenance made him exceeding glad.

7 Because the king upon the Lord his confidence doth lay; And through the grace of the most shall not be mov'd away.

1 MY God, my God, why hast thou me forsaken? why so far

Art thou from helping me, and from my words that roaring are?

2 All day, my God, to thee I cry, yet am not heard by thee; And in the season of the night I cannot silent be.

3 But thou art holy, thou that dost inhabit Isr'el's praise.

4 Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'd, and thou didst them release.

5 When unto thee they sent their cry, to them deliv'rance came: Because they put their trust in thee, they were not put to shame.

6 But as for me, a worm I am, and as no man am priz'd: Reproach of men I am, and by the people am despis'd.

7 All that me see laugh me to scorn; shoot out the lip do they ;

They nod and shake their heads at me, and, mocking, thus do say,

8 This man did trust in God, that he
would free him by his might:
Let him deliver him, sith he
had in him such delight.

9 But thou art he out of the womb
that didst me safely take;
When I was on my mother's breasts
thou me to hope didst make.

10 And I was cast upon thy care, ev'n from the womb till now; And from my mother's belly, Lord, my God and guide art thou.

11 Be not far off, for grief is near,

and none to help is found.

12 Bulls many compass me, strong bulls of Bashan me surround.

13 Their mouths they open'd wide on me, upon me gape did they, Like to a lion ravening

and roaring for his prey.

14 Like water I'm pour'd out, my bones all out of joint do part: Amidst my bowels, as the wax so melted is my heart.
