1 THE law of the Lord is perfect, con- | verting the soul: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 2 The statutes of the Lord are right, re- | joicing the heart: The commandment of the Lord is pure, en- lightening the eyes. 3 The fear of the Lord is clean, en- | during for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous alto-gether. 4 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the | honey| comb. 5 Moreover by them is thy | servant | warned: And in keeping of them there is great re- | ward. 9. GLORY be to thee, | glory be to thee, O Lord. 10. PSALMS. PSALM xix. (Responsive.) 1 THE heavens declare the glory of God; | and the firmament showeth his | handy 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto | night knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language where their voice.. is not | heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end. . of the | world. 5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, | which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to | run .a | race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it, thereof. 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting.. the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise.. the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, re-joicing.. the | heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, The judgments of the Lord are true, 10 More to be desired are they than gold,— yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the | honey = comb. 11 Moreover, by them is thy servant warned; and in keeping of them there is great .. re- | ward. 12 Who can understand his errors? | cleanse thou me from se..cret | faults. 13 Let the words of my mouth, 11. and the meditations of my heart, = PSALM 23. 1 THE Lord is my Shepherd; - I | shall ..not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pas He leadeth me beside the still=|waters. 3 He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff.. they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest my head with oil; — my | cup. . runneth | over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; 12. and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord.. for- | ever. PSALM 67. 1 GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us; And cause his face to shine up- on us; 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all na tions. 3 Let the people | praise thee, O God; Let all the people | praise thee. 4 Oh let the nations be glad and | sing for | joy: For thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the| na- tions | upon earth. 5 Let the people | praise thee, O | God; Let all the people | praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth | yield her increase; And God, even | our own | God, shall | bless us. 7 God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall | fear | him. Glory be to the Father, etc. 13. PSALM 90. (Responsive.) 1 LORD, thou hast been our | dwelling- | earth 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the and the world, Even from everlasting to ever- | lasting, | thou art | God. 3 Thou turnest man | to de- | struction; And sayest, Re- | turn, ye | children ⚫ of | men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is And as a watch - | in the past, night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which | groweth | up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and | groweth | up; In the evening it is cut | down, and | wither- | eth. 7 For we are consumed by thine | anger, And by thy wrath | are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before | thee, Our secret sins in the | light | of thy | countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away | in thy wrath: We spend our years as a tale that is told. |
