 The second volume, compiled by the Rev. Mr. van Der 
 Werp, of the Christian Reformed Church, draws its text 
 largely from the version of the Joint Committee, with many 
 additions however from other sources and including a con- 
 siderable number of new renderings especially prepared 
 for this volume. Its characteristic feature is the repro- 
 duction of certain peculiar meters familiar for centuries 
 to Hollander's, and associated with much loved music by 
 such masters as L. Bourgeois, Maitre Pierre and Mattheus 
 Greiter. Fine music it is, and we are not surprised that 
 our Holland brethren in this country, to some extent at 
 least, wish to sing these old songs of Zion as they have 
 been sung for generations in the Fatherland. It is to be 
 presumed that such will welcome this volume which en- 
 ables them to retain this music with English words. The 
 music is in variety and well chosen. There are also many 
 pleasing compositions by the accomplished compiler. These 
 last, including possible repetitions (there is no index), are 
 over eightv in number. E. A. C.

 NEW METRICAL VERSION 
 
 WITH 
 
 TUNES NEW AND OLD 
 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 This New Metrical Version of tiie Psalms — tiie result of nine years of conscientious 
 labor — has been prepared by a Joint Committee, representing nine Reformed and 
 Presbyterian Churches in the United States and Canada, afterwards carefully revised 
 by a Committee of the United Presbyterian Church, with the assistance of the Rev. 
 Ed)yard A. Collier D.D. of the Reformed Church in America, and of the Rev. Charles 
 E. Craven D.D. of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, both of 
 whom had shown exceptional gifts as members of the Joint Committee. 
 
 This version has been unanimously approved by the afore-mentioned Churches and 
 either recommended or adopted for use in their Public Worship. 
 
 We owe especial thanks to the United Presbyterian Board of Publication, which 
 kindly allowed us the use of some beautiful renderings of the psalms, as found in 
 "Lyrics from the Psalter" by the Rev. Edward A. Collier D.D., as also to the doctor 
 himself for assisting us in the translation of some psalms, to be sung to those favorite 
 Dutch tunes, which are found in this collection. 
 
 His name accompanies the psalms he expressly wrote for this publication. 
 
 The tunes, we trust, will find favor with those, who desire simplicity combined 
 with solemnity in the Lord's praise. 
 
 Only the new tunes are marked with the initials of the compiler, the others being 
 well known and classic. 
 
 The tunes to Pss. 6, 25, 42, 66, 68, 89, 98, 100, 116, 118, 124 and 134 are used by 
 the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, with the music as sung in the days 
 of Calvin. L. Bourgeois, Maitre Pierre and Mattheus Greiter were the composers. 
 Mr. H. P. Steenhuis, a Dutch composer of the present day, arranged them for organ 
 or piano. — 
 
 May the blessing of the Most High accompany the following pages to the glory of 
 His Name!

 They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared.

 PSALM 10 (I). 
 
 1. Why standestThou a - far, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? 
 
 The wielded per-se - cute the poor In haughty pride and reck-less power. 
 
 Let their devices work their fall , 
 For in their shame is all their pride; 
 
 And while they seek unrighteous gain 
 The Lord of justice is defied. 
 
 Arise , O Lord , lift up Thy hand , 
 O God, protect the poor and meek; 
 
 Why should the proud Thy justice doubt. 
 And words of bold defiance speak ? 
 
 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, 
 There is no God Who will repay ; 
 
 He has no fear of God or man 
 Because God's judgments long delay. 
 
 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite. 
 The sin and sorrow Thou dost see ; 
 
 The helpless and the fatherless 
 Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 
 
 Unmoved by fear of coming doom , 
 On fraud and wickedness intent , 
 
 With craft he lurks and waits to catch 
 The helpless and the innocent. 
 
 5. 
 
 A lion crouching for his prey. 
 He waits the poor to overthrow ; 
 
 He thinks that God remembers not, 
 Or hides His face and will not know. 
 
 Break Thou the power of wicked men 
 And let their works no longer stand ; 
 
 The Lord is King forevermore , 
 Who drove the nations from His land. 
 
 Lord, Thou hast heard' the lowly prayer, 
 The fainting heart Thou wilt restore. 
 
 The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain. 
 That mortal man may boast no more.

 The wicked in his pride 
 
 Has said, He'll not requite; 
 He thinks there is no God 
 
 To vindicate the right; 
 He prospers in his ways , 
 
 He thinks Thy judgments cease; 
 He puffs at all his foes ; 
 
 He looks for endless peace. 
 
 Do Thou , Lord , arise , 
 
 O God, lift up Thy hand. 
 Do not forget the poor , 
 
 The humble in the land. 
 Why does the wicked man 
 
 Contemn the God of might, 
 And say within his heart 
 
 Thou never wilt requite ? 
 
 3. 
 
 His mouth is ever full 
 
 Of cursing, lies, and wrong 
 Iniquity and fraud 
 
 Are underneath his tongue. 
 He sits in village dens, 
 
 In coverts he abides , 
 To slay the innocent 
 
 Himself in secret hides. 
 
 7. 
 
 But Thou hast seen it all , — 
 
 Their mischief and their spite; 
 Thy piercing eye beholds, 
 
 And Thou wilt soon requite. 
 The helpless and the poor 
 
 Commit themselves to Thee ; 
 The helper Thou hast been 
 
 Of those that orphans be. 
 
 His eyes unseen are set 
 
 The helpless to ensnare ; 
 He lurks in coverts dark 
 
 As lion in his lair ; 
 He watchful lies in wait 
 
 To catch the helpless poor, 
 He takes him in his net 
 
 And holds him fast and sure. 
 
 Break Thou the sinner's arm : 
 
 Subdue the evil one; 
 Seek out his wickedness 
 
 Until Thou findest none. 
 The Lord is king for aye , 
 
 And firm His throne shall stand. 
 The nations are destroyed , 
 
 Are perished from His land. 
 
 Himself he humbles low ; 
 
 He crouches down withal , 
 That so the helpless poor 
 
 May by his strong ones fall. 
 He says within his heart 
 
 That God has quite forgot 
 And turned away His face ; 
 
 His eye will see it not. 
 
 The longing of the meek, 
 
 Jehovah, Thou dost hear; 
 Their heart Thou wilt confirm , 
 
 And wilt incline Thine ear. 
 To judge the fatherless , 
 
 And end oppression sore , 
 That man who is of earth 
 
 May terrify no more.

 2. With steadfast courage I design 
 
 No wrong to speak or do; 
 Thy path of life 1 choose for mine 
 
 And walk with purpose true. 
 For help, O God, 1 cry to Thee, 
 Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 
 
 3. Thou that ever savest those 
 
 Whose trust on Thee is stayed, 
 Preserving them from all their foes 
 
 By Thine almighty aid, 
 Let me Thy loving-kindness see, 
 Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 
 
 4. O guard me well as one doth guard 
 
 The apple of the eye; 
 While deadly foes are pressing hard, 
 
 To Thee, to Thee 1 cry. 
 Do Thou my rest and refuge be, 
 O let Thy wings o'ershadow me. 
 
 My enemy, grown strong in pride. 
 
 Would take my life away, 
 A lion lurking by my side. 
 
 Most greedy for his prey. 
 Confront and cast him down, O Lord, 
 From evil save me by Thy sword. 
 
 Defend me from the men of pride. 
 
 Whose portion is below, 
 Who, with life's treasures satisfied, 
 
 No better portion know; 
 They, with earth's joys and wealth content, 
 Must leave them all when life is spent. 
 
 But I in righteousness at last 
 
 Thy glorious face shall see; 
 When all the weary night is past. 
 
 And I awake with Thee 
 To view the glories that abide. 
 Then, then I shall be satisfied.

 2. When, floods of evil raging near, 
 
 Down nigh to death my soul was brought, 
 I cried to God in all my fear ; 
 
 He heard and great deliverance wrought. 
 He came; the earth's foundations quake. 
 
 The hills are shaken from their place , 
 Thick smoke and fire devouring break 
 
 In anger dread before His face. 
 
 3. Descending through the bending skies, 
 
 With gloom and darkness under Him, 
 Forth through the storm Jehovah flies 
 
 As on the wings of cherubim. 
 Thick darkness hides Him from the view. 
 
 And swelling clouds His presence veil , 
 Until His glorious light breaks through 
 
 In lightning flash and glistening hail. 
 
 4. Jehovah's thunders fill the heaven , 
 
 The dreadful voice of God Most High; 
 With shafts of light the clouds are riven , 
 
 His foes, dismayed, in terror fly. 
 The raging torrents overflow , 
 
 And sweep the world's foundations bare. 
 Because Thy blasts of anger blow , 
 
 O Lord of earth and sea and air. 
 
 5. He took me from the whelming waves 
 
 Of bitter hate and sore distress ; 
 The Lord, my stay and helper, saves, 
 
 Though mighty foes around me press. 
 From direful straits He set me free , 
 
 He saved the man of His delight : 
 For good the Lord rewarded me , 
 
 Because 1 kept His ways aright. 
 
 Since with my God with perfect heart 
 
 1 walk and make His word my guide, 
 And from iniquity depart. 
 
 The Lord His blessing will provide. 
 The merciful shall know Thy grace , 
 
 The perfect Thy perfection see, 
 The pure shall see Thine own pure face. 
 
 The froward find a foe in Thee. 
 
 To smite the proud and bring them low , 
 
 To save the poor is Thy delight. 
 The Lord will cause my lamp to glow. 
 
 My God will make my darkness light. 
 From God the victory I receive; 
 
 Most perfect is His holy way; 
 His word is tried, they who believe 
 
 Will find the Lord their shield and stay. 
 
 For who is God, and strong to save, 
 
 Beside the Lord, our God of might? 
 'Tis He that makes me strong and brave. 
 
 The Lord Who guides my steps aright. 
 Thy free salvation is my shield. 
 
 My sure defense in every strait ; 
 Thy hand upholds me, lest 1 yield; 
 
 The gentleness has made me great. 
 
 As Thou , O Lord , hast made me strong 
 
 To overcome my mighty foe , 
 So now to fight against the wrong 
 
 And conquer in Thy Name 1 go. 
 From strife Thou wilt deliver me, 
 
 And make the nations own my sway; 
 Strange peoples, when my power they see. 
 
 Shall come with trembling and obey. 
 
 10. Jehovah lives, and blest is He, 
 
 My rock, my refuge and defense, 
 My Saviour Who delivers me , 
 
 And will the wicked recompense. 
 For grace and mercy ever near. 
 
 For foes subdued and victories won , 
 All nations of the earth shall hear 
 
 My praise for what the Lord has done.

 Rejoicing his circuit to run. 
 He tells through the length of the heavens 
 
 His Maker's great wisdom and might , 
 And nothing in all of the earth 
 
 Is hid from his heat and his light. 
 
 The law that the Lord has ordained 
 
 is perfect, the soul to restore; 
 His truth makes the simple most wise , 
 
 The truth that is sure evermore. 
 His precepts are righteous and just, 
 
 Rejoicing the heart and the mind ; 
 And all His commandments are pure , 
 
 Enlightening the eyes of the blind. 
 
 The fear of the Lord is most clean , 
 
 Forever unmoved it has stood ; 
 His judgments are perfectly true , 
 
 In all things most righteous and good. 
 Such treasure no gold can supply , 
 
 Such sweetness no honey afford ; 
 Their warnings none heed and obey 
 
 But find most abundant reward. 
 
 who can his errors discern ? 
 
 From hidden faults. Lord, keep me free 
 Let pride never reign in my heart , 
 And clear of great sin I shall be. 
 
 1 pray that my words and my thoughts 
 May all with Thy precepts accord , 
 
 And ever be pleasing to Thee , 
 
 My Rock, my Redeemer, my Lord.

 Reproached of men, by all despised, 
 A worm and not a man am 1; 
 
 Ail they that see me laugh in scorn , 
 They nod, shoot out the lip, and cry, 
 
 "He trusts the Lord, let Him defend 
 
 And save him since He is his friend." 
 
 Thou gavest life, Thou mad'st me trust 
 When 1 was on my mother's breast; 
 
 From birth dependent on Thy care. 
 Thou art my God , in Thee 1 rest. 
 
 Be not far off, for grief is nigh; 
 
 There's none on whom 1 can rely. 
 
 5. 
 
 As herds of bulls that roam the wild 
 My cruel foes about me throng; 
 
 They compass and beset me round. 
 Like bulls of Bashan fierce and strong; 
 
 Like lions roaring on their prey. 
 
 Their mouths they open wide to slay. 
 
 My life like water is poured out; 
 
 My bones all out of joint do part; 
 And like a shard my strength is dried; 
 
 Like wax so melted is my heart; 
 My tongue and jaws together cling, 
 And Thou to death my soul dost bring. 
 
 7. 
 
 Like dogs the wicked close me in , 
 Yea, they have pierced my hands and feet, 
 
 And I may number all my bones; 
 They look and stare who round me meet; 
 
 My garments 'mong them they divide, 
 
 And on my robe by lot decide. 
 
 8. 
 
 But be not far from me , O Lord ; 
 
 Haste, O my Strength, give help to me: 
 My soul deliver from the sword; 
 
 My life from dogs, from lions free, 
 From oxen's horns, lest I be rent. 
 Thou hast to me an answer sent. 
 
 To all my brethren I'll declare 
 
 The glory of Thy holy name; 
 III praise Thee where the people meet. 
 
 Who fear the Lord, His praise proclaim; 
 Ye seed of Jacob, praise His grace; 
 And stand in awe , all Israel's race. 
 
 10. 
 
 For He hath not despised the poor. 
 Nor hath abhorred their wretched state; 
 
 He hath not turned away His face 
 From those who are in trouble great; 
 
 But when they cried to Him in grief, 
 
 He heard their prayer and sent relief. 
 
 11. 
 
 Amid the assembly of the saints 
 My praises shall arise to Thee; 
 
 I'll pay my vows with them that fear; 
 The meek shall eat and filled shall be; 
 
 Who seek the Lord shall Him adore; 
 
 Your heart shall live for evermore. 
 
 12. 
 
 All ends of earth, remembering Him. 
 
 Shall turn, repending, to the Lord; 
 The kindreds of the nations then 
 
 To Him their homage shall accord; 
 Because the Lord all empire owns, 
 And rules above all earthly thrones. 
 
 13. 
 
 The rich and mighty of the earth 
 Shall eat and low before Him bend; 
 
 And in His presence all shall bow 
 Who helpless to the dust descend. 
 
 Yea, even the very poor who strive. 
 
 But cannot keep their souls alive. 
 
 14. 
 
 A seed shall serve Him evermore; 
 
 And of the Lord it shall be told 
 To every age; yea, they shall come 
 
 And shall His righteousness unfold 
 To peoples that are yet unknown, 
 That this was done by Him alone.

 But Thou art holy in Thy ways, 
 Enthroned upon Thy people's praise; 
 Our fathers put their trust in Thee, 
 Believed, and Thou didst set them free. 
 
 They cried, and, trusting in Thy Name, 
 Were saved , and were not put to shame ; 
 But in the dust My honor lies, 
 While ail reproach and all despise. 
 
 My words a cause for scorn they make. 
 The lip they curl, the head they shake. 
 And, mocking, bid Me trust the Lord 
 Till He salvation shall afford. 
 
 My trust on Thee 1 learned to rest 
 When 1 was on My mother's breast; 
 From birth My life has ever known 
 Thy care: Thou art My God alone. 
 
 O let Thy strength and presence cheer , 
 For trouble and distress are near; 
 Be Thou not far away from Me, 
 For I have none to help but Thee. 
 
 Unnumbered foes would do Me wrong; 
 They press about Me, fierce and strong; 
 Like beasts of prey their rage they vent; 
 My courage fails. My strength is spent. 
 
 Down unto death Thou leadest Me, 
 Consumed by thirst and agony; 
 With cruel hate and anger fierce 
 My helpless hands and feet they pierce. 
 
 9. 
 
 While on My wasted form they stare. 
 The garments torn from Me they share, 
 My shame and sorrow heeding not, 
 And for My robe they cast the lot. 
 
 10. 
 
 O Lord, afar no longer stay; 
 
 Thou My helper, haste, 1 pray; 
 From death and evil set Me free. 
 
 1 live! for Thou didst answer Me.

 Where brethren gather in Thy Name; 
 Where all Thy faithful people meet, 
 I will Thy worthy praise repeat.

 All ye that fear Jehovah's Name, 
 His glory tell , His praise proclaim ; 
 Ye children of His chosen race, 
 Stand ye in awe before His face. 
 
 13. 
 
 The suffering one He has not spurned 
 Who unto Him for succor turned; 
 From him He has not hid His face. 
 But answered his request in grace. 
 
 14. 
 
 Lord, Thy goodness makes Me raise 
 Amid Thy people songs of praise; 
 Before all them that fear Thee, now 
 
 1 worship Thee and pay My vow. 
 
 15. 
 
 For all the meek Thou wilt provide, 
 They shall be fed and satisfied ; 
 All they that seek the Lord shall live 
 And never-ending praises give. 
 
 16. 
 
 The ends of all the earth shall hear 
 And turn unto the Lord in fear; 
 All kindreds of the earth shall own 
 And worship Him as God alone. 
 
 17. 
 
 For His the kingdom, His of right; 
 He rules the nations by His might; 
 All earth to Him her homage brings, 
 The Lord oi lords, the King of kings. 
 
 18. 
 
 Both rich and poor, both bond and free, 
 Shall worship Him with bended knee, 
 And children's children shall proclaim 
 The glorious honor of His Name.

 The Lord's unfailing righteousness 
 
 All generations shall confess; 
 
 From age to age shall men be taught 
 
 What wondrous works the Lord has wrought.

 Lord, Thy ways of love revealing, 
 
 All Thy paths make known to me; 
 in Thy truth guide Thou my footsteps 
 
 And therein my Teacher be. 
 All day long- for Thee I wait; 
 
 God my Savior I adore Thee ; 
 Former mercies, free and great, 
 
 Be remembered, 1 implore Thee. 
 
 3. 
 
 All my sins of youth forgetting. 
 
 Do not Thou their guilt record; 
 Bui remember me in mercy 
 
 For Thy goodness' sake , o Lord. 
 Thou art upright, good and kind, 
 
 Sinners in Thy way instructing, 
 And all those of lowly mind 
 
 in Thy righteous paths conducting. 
 
 All Thy paths are truth and kindness 
 
 For Thy saints who for Thee wait. 
 For Thy name's sake grant me pardon, 
 
 For my sin is very great. 
 Unto him that feareth Thee 
 
 Thou wilt teach the way of blessing; 
 Happy days his eyes shall see, 
 
 And his sons the land possessing. 
 
 With His saints abides His friendship. 
 
 They His faithful covenant share. 
 Unto Him mine eyes are looking 
 
 For deliverance from the snare. 
 Turn to me . O Lord , return 
 
 With Thy mercy's benediction ; 
 Desolate , for Thee I yearn , 
 
 Sore cast down by my affliction. 
 
 Troubles of my heart relieving , 
 
 Help from my distress accord ; 
 See my pain and my affliction , 
 
 And forgive my sins , O Lord. 
 O consider Thou my foes ! ' 
 
 Many they who would not spare me : 
 Without cause do they oppose , 
 
 And a cruel hatred bear me. 
 
 7. 
 
 Keep, oh keep my soul and save me; 
 
 Let me not be put to shame. 
 Truth and honor still preserveme , 
 
 Taking refuge in Thy name.' 
 Trusting in Thy power supreme , 
 
 Lord , I wait for Thy salvation ; 
 For Thou wilt Thy church redeem 
 
 Out of all her tribulation.

 3. Lord, to me Thy ways make known 
 
 Guide in truth and teach Thou me; 
 Thou my Saviour art alone, 
 All the day I wait for Thee. 
 
 4. Lord, remember in Thy love 
 
 All Thy mercies manifold. 
 Tender mercies from above. 
 Changeless from the days of old. 
 
 5. Sins of youth remember not. 
 
 Nor my trespasses record : 
 Let not mercy be forgot , 
 For Thy goodness' sake . O Lord. 
 
 6. Just and good the Lord abides. 
 
 He His way will sinners show, 
 He the meek in justice guides. 
 Making them His way to know. 
 
 7. Grace and truth shall mark the way 
 
 Where the Lord His own will lead, 
 If His word they still obey 
 And His testimonies heed. 
 
 8. For Thy Name's sake hear Thou me. 
 
 For Thy mercy, Lord, I wait; 
 Pardon my iniquity. 
 For my sin is very great. 
 
 9. He who walks in godly fear 
 In the path ot truth shall go; 
 Peace shall be his portion here. 
 And his sons all good shall know. 
 
 10. They that fear and love the Lord 
 
 Shall Jehovah's friendship know; 
 He will grace to them accord. 
 And His faithful covenant show. 
 
 11. Ever are my longing eyes 
 
 Toward the Lord, Whose watchful care, 
 When my foes their plots devise, 
 Keeps my feet from every snare. 
 
 12. Turn to me. Thy grace impart; 
 
 1 am desolate indeed; 
 Great the troubles of my heart; 
 Save Thou me, O Lord, I plead. 
 
 13. Look on my afflicted state. 
 
 Freely all my sins forgive; 
 Mark my foes, their cruel hate; 
 Keep my soul and let me live. 
 
 14. Shame me not, 1 hide in Thee; 
 
 Truth and right preserve me still; 
 Let, O God, Thy people be 
 Now redeemed from everv ill.

 O hear Thou the voice of my cry, 
 
 Deal kindly and answer in grace; 
 My heart to Thy call makes reply — 
 
 „I will, o my Lord, seek Thy face." 
 But hide not that face from my tears, 
 
 Nor put me in anger away ; 
 Thou hast been my help in past years. 
 
 Nor leave nor forsake me, 1 pray ! 
 
 2. 
 
 When father and mother forsake, 
 
 And all earthly comforts depart, 
 Then Thou, Lord, wilt tenderly take 
 
 Thy child to thy pityful heart. 
 O teach me Thine own perfect way. 
 
 And lead me in paths plain and straight. 
 For, watchful as beasts for their prey. 
 
 My foes for my soul lie in wait.

 Except 1 had trusted in Thee; 
 Expecting Thy goodness e'en here

 Then wait, o my soul, for the Lord! 
 
 Be strong and be brave in His might! 
 Yea, patiently wait for the Lord, 
 
 The Lord, thy salvation and Light.

 When evil-doers came 
 To make my life their prey,

 And fell in sore dismay; 
 
 Though hosts make war on every side. 
 
 Still fearless I in God confide. 
 
 Lord, hear me when I pray.

 Oft as I hear Thee say, 
 
 Come ye and seek My face. 
 My heart and lips their answer speak. 
 Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.

 My one request has been , 
 And still this prayer I raise , 
 
 That I may dwell within

 Jehovah's beauty to admire , 
 
 And in His temple to inquire. 
 
 Hyde not Thy face from me. 
 
 In wrath turn not away,

 Forsake me not, I pray, 
 Should father, mother, both forsake, 
 The Lord on me will pity take.

 When troubles round me swell. 
 When fears and dangers throng, 
 
 Securely 1 will dwell 
 In His pavilion strong ; 
 
 Within the covert of His tent 
 
 He hides me till t^e storm is spent. 
 
 Teach me, O Lord, Thy way. 
 Make plain to me my path; 
 
 Because of foes, I pray. 
 Protect me from their wrath; 
 
 To false accusers, cruel foes, 
 
 O Lord, do not my soul expose. 
 
 Uplifted on a rock 
 
 Above my foes around. 
 Amid the battle shock 
 
 My song shall still resound ; 
 Then joyful offerings I will bring, 
 Jehovah's praise my heart shall sing. 
 
 Faint-hearted would I be. 
 Didst Thou not promise. Lord, 
 
 I shall Thy goodness see 
 While Thou dost life accord. 
 
 Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear; 
 
 Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near.

 While I kept guilty silence, 
 
 My strength was spent with grief; 
 Thy hand was heavy on me, 
 
 My soul found no relief. 
 But when I owned my trespass. 
 
 My sin hid not from Thee, 
 When 1 confessed transgression, 
 
 Then Thou forgavest me. 
 
 I graciously will teach thee 
 
 The way that thou shall go, 
 And with Mine eye upon thee 
 
 My counsel make thee know. 
 But be ye not unruly. 
 
 Or slow to understand; 
 Be not perverse, but willing 
 
 To heed My wise command. 
 
 So let the godly seek Thee 
 
 In times when Thou art near; 
 No whelming floods shall reach them, 
 
 Nor cause their hearts to fear. 
 In Thee, Lord, 1 hide me. 
 
 Thou savest me from ill; 
 And songs of Thy salvation 
 
 My heart with rapture thrill. 
 
 The sorrows of the wicked 
 
 In number shall abound, 
 But those that trust Jehovah, 
 
 His mercy shall surround. 
 Then in the Lord be joyful, 
 
 In song lift up your voice; 
 Be glad in God, ye righteous; 
 
 Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice.

 2. For upright is Jehovah's word, 
 And all the doings of the Lord 
 
 In justice have their birth. 
 In judgment and in deeds of right 
 The Lord forever takes delight; 
 
 His goodness fills the earth. 
 
 3. Jehovah speaks, the heavens appear; 
 
 He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere 
 
 In splendor stands arrayed. 
 He rolls the waters heap on heap, 
 He stores away the mighty deep 
 
 In garners for it made. 
 
 4. Let all the earth Jehovah fear. 
 
 Let all that dwell both far and near 
 
 In awe before Him stand; 
 For lo. He spake and it was done, 
 And all with sovereign power begun 
 
 Stood fast at His command. 
 
 5. He makes the nations' counsels vain, 
 The plans the peoples would maintain 
 
 Are thwarted by His hand. 
 Jehovah's counsel stands secure, 
 His purposes of heart endure. 
 
 For evermore they stand. 
 
 6. O truly is the nation blest 
 
 Whose God before the world confessed 
 
 Jehovah is alone; 
 And blest the people is whom He 
 Has made His heritage to be, 
 
 And chosen for His own. 
 
 7. Jehovah from his throne on high 
 
 Looks down with clear and searching eye 
 
 On all that dwell below; 
 And He that fashioned heart and mind 
 Looks ever down on all mankind. 
 
 The works of men to know. 
 
 8. Not human strength or mighty hosts. 
 Not charging steeds or warlike boasts 
 
 Can save from overthrow; 
 But God will save from death and shame 
 All those who fear and trust His Name, 
 
 And they no want shall know. 
 
 9. Our hope is on Jehovah stayed, 
 
 In Him our hearts are joyful made. 
 
 Our help and shield is He. 
 Our trust is in His holy Name; 
 Thy mercy. Lord, in faith we claim. 
 
 As we have hoped in Thee.

 Around about His own,

 Ye children come , give ear to me 
 
 And learn Jehovah's fear; 
 He who would long and happy live. 
 
 Let him my counsel hear. 
 Restrain thy lips from speaking guile, 
 
 From wicked speech depart. 
 From evil turn and do the good , 
 
 Seek peace with all they heart. 
 
 taste and see that God is good 
 
 To all that seek His face; 
 Yea, blest the man that trusts in Him, 
 
 Confiding in His grace. 
 O fear the Lord , all ye His saints: 
 
 No want shall bring distress; 
 The lions young may pine for food; 
 
 The saints all good possess. 
 
 Jehovah's eyes are on the just. 
 
 He hearkens to their cry; 
 Against the wicked sets His face; 
 
 Their very name shall die. 
 The Lord may suffer many griefs 
 
 Upon the just to fall, 
 But He will bring them safely through, 
 
 Delivering them from all.

 Ashamed, confounded let them be 
 
 Who seek my ruin and disgrace; 
 O let Thine angel fight for me, 
 
 And drive my foes before his face. 
 Without a cause my life they sought. 
 
 Without a cause their plots they laid; 
 Themselves within their snares be caught, 
 
 And be my crafty foes dismayed. 
 
 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay? 
 
 My soul for Thy salvation waits; 
 My thankfulness I will display 
 
 Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates. 
 Let not my enemies rejoice 
 
 And wrongfully exult o'er me; 
 They speak not peace, but lift their voice 
 
 To trouble those that peaceful be. 
 
 My soul is joyful in the Lord , 
 
 In His salvation I rejoice; 
 To Him my heart wil praise accord 
 
 And bless His Name with thankful voice. 
 For who, Lord, is like to Thee, 
 
 Defender of the poor and meek? 
 The needy Thy salvation see 
 
 When mighty foes their ruin seek. 
 
 My foes with joy my woes survey. 
 
 But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all ; 
 O be no longer far away. 
 
 Nor silent when on Thee 1 call. 
 O haste to my deliverance now, 
 
 O Lord, my righteous cause maintain; 
 My Lord and God alone art Thou; 
 
 Awake, and make Thy justice plain. 
 
 Unrighteous witnesses have stood 
 
 And told of crimes beyond belief; 
 Returning evil for my good, 
 
 They overwhelm my soul with grief. 
 When in affliction they were sad, 
 
 I wept and made their grief my own ; 
 But in my trouble they are glad 
 
 And strive that I may be o'erthrown. 
 
 O Lord my God, 1 look to Thee ; 
 
 Be Thou my righteous Judge, 1 pray ; 
 Let not my foes exult o'er me 
 
 And laugh with joy at my dismay. 
 With shame and trouble those requite 
 
 Who would my righteous cause destroy; 
 But those who in the good delight. 
 
 Let them be glad and shout for joy.

 The words he utters with his mouth

 He shuns not to transgress.

 Since Thou art ever kind ,

 And in the brightness of Thy light

 And may Thy justice still protect 
 And bless the upright heart.

 Are fallen utterly ; 
 They shall not triumph in their pride ,

 5. The evil-doer soon shall die , 
 But those that on the Lord rely 
 
 Shall all the land obtain.

 That wicked men cut off shall be ; 
 
 They shall be sought in vain. 
 
 6. Yea, thou shalt soon consider well 
 
 The place where they were wont to dwell, 
 
 And it shall not be found ; 
 But saints shall all the land possess. 
 And find delight and happiness 
 
 Where fruits of peace abound. 
 
 7. The vile may plot against the just 
 Who in the Lord Jehovah trust. 
 
 But God will scorn them all ; 
 The Lord their coming day shall see , 
 When broken all their power shall be. 
 
 And ruin on them fall. 
 
 8. A little that the righteous hold 
 Is better far than wealth untold 
 
 Of many wicked men ; 
 Destroyed shall be their arm of pride, 
 But they who in the Lord confide 
 
 Shall be upholden then. 
 
 9. He knows the days the perfect live , 
 To them a heritage will give 
 
 Which ever shall abide. 
 In evil times no shame they know, 
 And in the days of famine's woe 
 
 They shall be satisfied. 
 
 10. Although the wicked prospered seem, 
 At last they vanish like a dream 
 
 And perish in a day. 
 Jehovah's foes shall soon appear 
 Like fields once fair, now brown and sere ; 
 
 Like smoke they fade away. 
 
 11. They borrow oft and pay not back; 
 But righteous men do nothing lack, 
 
 And give with gracious hand. 
 Those cursed by Him shall be destroyed ; 
 But such as have His grace enjoyed , 
 
 They shall possess the land. 
 
 12. The good man's steps are led aright. 
 His way is pleasing in God's sight; 
 
 Established it shall stand. 
 He shall not perish though he fall ; 
 The mighty Lord Who rules o'er all 
 
 Upholds him with His hand. 
 
 13. Though 1 am old who young have been. 
 No saint have I forsaken seen , 
 
 Nor yet his home in need. 
 He ever lends in gracious ways , 
 His life true charity displays , 
 
 His sons are blest indeed. 
 
 14. Depart from evil , do thou well , 
 And evermore securely dwell ; 
 
 Jehovah loves the right. 
 His faithfulness His saints have proved. 
 Forever they shall stand unmoved , 
 
 But sinners God will smite. 
 
 15. The righteous, through His favoring hand. 
 Shall yet inherit all the land 
 
 And dwell therein for aye; 
 He talks of wisdom and of right, 
 In God's pure law is his delight , 
 
 His steps go not astray. 
 
 16. The wicked, watching for their prey. 
 Desire the righteous man to slay , 
 
 But God is on his side ; 
 He will not leave him in their hands , 
 Nor count him guilty when he stands 
 
 In judgment to be tried. 
 
 17. Wait on the Lord and keep His way; 
 He will exalt thee, nor delay 
 
 To give the land to thee ; 
 And when the wicked are cut off. 
 The wicked who against thee scoff. 
 
 Their judgment thou shalt see. 
 
 18. The wicked in great power are seen , 
 Like spreading tree with foliage green 
 
 That grows in native ground. 
 I looked again , they were no more ; 
 I sought the men so proud before , 
 
 But they could not be found. 
 
 19. Mark thou the upright day by day. 
 Behold the perfect in his way: 
 
 His journey ends in peace. 
 Destroyed at once shall rebels be ; 
 Cut off from all posterity. 
 
 Their very name shall cease. 
 
 20. Salvation is from God alone. 
 
 Whom as their covert saints have known 
 
 When by sore troubles tried ; 
 The Lord Who helped in troubles past 
 Will save them to the very last. 
 For they in Him confide.

 Lord, in Thee am I confiding; 
 
 Thou wilt answer when I call, 
 Lest my foes, the good deriding, 
 
 Triumph in Thy servant's fall. 
 
 I am prone to halt and stumble; 
 
 Grief and sorrow dwell within; 
 Shame and guilt my spirit humble; 
 
 I am sorry for my sin. 
 
 Foes about my soul are closing, 
 Full of hatred, false and strong; 
 
 Choosing good, I find opposing 
 All who love and do the wrong. 
 
 Darkness gathers, foes assail me, 
 But 1 answer not a word; 
 
 All my friends desert and fail me; 
 Only Thou my cry hast heard. 
 
 Lord, my God, do not forsake me: 
 Let me know that Thou art near; 
 
 Under Thy protection take me; 
 As my Saviour now appear.

 Make me, Lord, to know my end, 
 Teach me the measure of my days, 
 
 That I may know how frail I am 
 And turn from pride and sinful ways. 
 
 My time is nothing in Thy sight; 
 
 Behold, my days are but a span; 
 Yea, truly at his best estate, 
 
 A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 
 
 Man's life is passed in vain desire 
 If troubled years be spent for gain; 
 
 He knows not whose his wealth shall be, 
 And all his toil is but in vain. 
 
 And now, O Lord, what wait 1 for? 
 
 I have no hope except in Thee. 
 Let not ungodly men reproach. 
 
 From all transgression set me free. 
 
 7. Because Thou didst it I was dumb, 
 
 I spoke no word of rash complaint; 
 Remove Thy stroke away from me. 
 Beneath Thy chastisement 1 faint. 
 
 8. When Thou for his iniquity 
 
 Rebukest and correctest man, 
 His beauty is consumed away; 
 How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 
 
 9. Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry; 
 
 I weep, be Thou my comforter; 
 I am a stranger here below, 
 A pilgrim as my fathers were. 
 
 10. O spare me. Lord, avert Thy wrath, 
 
 Deal gently with me, 1 implore: 
 That I may yet recover strength 
 E'er 1 go hence and be no more.

 A new and joyful song of praise 
 
 My thankful heart He taught, 
 A song of glory to our God 
 
 For all that He has wrought. 
 And many who behold how good 
 
 The Lord has been to me 
 Shall learn to fear, and in His Name 
 
 Their trust henceforth shall be.

 Then, O my God, I come, I come. 
 
 Thy purpose to fulfil ; 
 Thy law is written in my heart, 
 
 'Tis joy to do Thy will. 
 Before Thy people 1 will now 
 
 Thy righteousness proclaim; 
 Thou knowest, Lord, 1 will not cease 
 
 To praise Thy holy Name. 
 
 O truly blessed is the man 
 
 That on the Lord relies, 
 Respecting not the proud, nor such 
 
 As turn aside to lies. 
 O Lord my God, how manifold 
 
 The works which Thou hast wrought; 
 Ofttimes Thou hast bestowed on us 
 
 Thy care and gracious thought. 
 
 I never have within my heart 
 
 Thy faithfulness concealed, 
 But Thy salvation and Thy truth 
 
 To men I have revealed. 
 Thy tender mercies, my Lord, 
 
 Withhold not, I implore; 
 But let Thy kindness and Thy truth 
 
 Preserve me evermore. 
 
 Thy works and thoughts most wonderful, 
 
 If 1 of them would speak, 
 Cannot be numbered, and in vain 
 
 To set them forth 1 seek. 
 The offering on the altar burned 
 
 Gives no delight to Thee ; 
 The hearing ear, the willing heart. 
 
 Thou givest unto me. 
 
 For countless ills have compassed me; 
 
 My sinful deeds arise; 
 Yea , they have overtaken me ; 
 
 I dare not raise my eyes. 
 My sins are more than I can count 
 
 My heart has failed for grief. 
 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me; 
 
 O haste to my relief. 
 
 Be those who seek to hurt my soul 
 
 Dismayed and put to flight; 
 And they themselves be put to shame 
 
 Who in my woe delight. 
 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice. 
 
 Yea, glad in Thee abide, 
 And, loving Thy salvation, say. 
 
 The Lord be magnified.

 Upon the bed of suffering

 And in his sickness God will soothe 
 
 The weariness and pain. 
 
 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, 
 
 Let me Thy mercy see; 
 Heat Thou my soul, for 1 have sinned 
 
 I have offended Thee. 
 
 My enemies against me speak, 
 And they my life have scorned; 
 
 They wish my name to pass away, 
 Unhonored and unmourned. 
 
 My foe, deceitful, visits me. 
 
 By seeming kindness led. 
 His heart intent on gathering 
 
 Some hurtful news to spread.

 Disease, they say, cleaves fast to hi.n; 
 
 Laid low. he shall not rise.

 In whom I put my trust, 
 Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath 
 To crush me in the dust. 
 
 9. Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, 
 
 And raise me up again. 
 That I with justice may requite 
 These base and wicked men. 
 
 10. By this I know assuredly 
 
 That I am loved by Thee, 
 Because my foe does not e.\ult 
 In triumph over me. 
 
 11. And as for me, in uprightness 
 
 Thou dost uphold me well, 
 And settest me before Thy face 
 For evermore to dwell.

 For evermore. Amen. 
 Let age to age eternally 
 Repeat His praise. Amen.

 As the hart when noon is burn-ing Pants for springs whence wa-ters burst, 
 If fond memory seek to bor - row Com -fort from the for-mer years, 
 
 So for God my soul is yearn -ing, For the 
 These but stir a - new my sor - row, O - pen 
 
 iv - ing God a-thirst : 
 ev - ery fount of tears: 
 
 'gii^l; 
 
 When shall I, a wanderer here, In 
 Un - to Zi - on's gates with song, Oh 
 
 thy presence. Lord, ap-pear ? Dai- 
 how oft I led the throng, Who 
 
 ly by my foes de - ri - ded , Tears they for my food pro - vi - ded. 
 with joy and praise a- doreThee, Keep- ing ho - li - day be- fore Thee.

 Why art thou cast down and fearful? 
 
 O my soul, why so dismayed? 
 Hope in God , and eyes now tearful 
 
 Yet shall see His present aid. 
 
 Down, o God, my heart is cast, 
 
 Till recalling mercies passed; 
 Then to Thee, my spirit weary 
 Turns as from a desert dreary. 
 
 As Thy water-falls resounding, 
 Deep is calling unto deep: 
 
 Over me. Thine all-surrounding 
 Waves and billows wildly sweep: 
 Yet the Lord will bless my days , 
 I, His iovingkindness praise; 
 
 And His song, at midnight given. 
 
 Be my prayer to God in heaven. 
 
 Why, oh why doest Thou forget me? 
 1 will say to God, my Rock: 
 
 Foes oppress and sore beset me; 
 With reproaches keen they mock: 
 Where's thy God, they taunting say. 
 While I mourn both night and day, 
 
 Why, oh why, my God, forget me, 
 
 When my cruel foes beset me? 
 
 Why disquieted within me! 
 
 Why art Thou, my soul, cast down! 
 Hope in God, 1 yet shall praise Him, 
 
 Who with joy my life will crown. . 
 
 He, my God, whose wondrous grace. 
 
 Is the help that cheers my face. 
 Comforts me, when tears are blinding. 
 As the hart cool waters finding.

 No trust will I place in my strength to defend , 
 Nor yet on my sword as a safeguard depend ; 
 In Thee , Who hast saved us and put them to shame , 
 We boast all the day, ever praising Thy Name. 
 
 But Thou hast forsaken, to shame brought our boasts; 
 No more to the field dost Thou go with our hosts : 
 Thou turnest us back from the foe in dismay , 
 And spoilers who hate us have made us their prey. 
 
81 
 
 6. Like sheep to the slaughter, Thy people are given ; 
 Dispersed through the nations afar we are driven; 
 Thou seiiest Thy people to strangers for naught, 
 Their price to Thy treasure no increase has brought. 
 
 7. Thou makest our neighbors reproach us in pride, 
 And those that are near us to scoff and deride; 
 
 A by-word the nations have made of our name, 
 With scorn and derision they put us to shame. 
 
 8. Yea, all the day long 1 behold my disgrace. 
 And covered am I with confusion of face; 
 The voice of blasphemers and scoffers I hear, 
 The foe and avenger against me appear. 
 
 9. All this have we suffered, and never forgot 
 
 To serve Thee, Jehovah, nor falsely have wrought; 
 Our heart is not turned and our steps have not strayed, 
 Though crushed amid ruins and under death's shade. 
 
 10. If we have forgotten the Name of our God, 
 Or unto an idol our hands spread abroad, 
 Shall not the Almighty uncover this sin? 
 
 He knows all our hearts and the secrets within. 
 
 11. We all the day long for Thy sake are consumed; 
 Defeated and helpless, to death we are doomed; 
 Then why dost Thou tarry? Jehovah, awake. 
 Nor spurn us forever; arise for our sake. 
 
 12. O why art Thou hiding the light of Thy face, 
 Forgetting our burden of grief and disgrace? 
 
 Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust; 
 Rise, help, and redeem us; Thy mercy we trust.

 Enthroned in royal state, 
 
 All glorious thou shalt dwell, 
 With garments fair, inwrought with gold, — 
 
 The Church He loveth well. 
 And they that honor thee 
 
 Shall in thy train attend, 
 And to the palace of the King, 
 
 Shall joyfully ascend. 
 
 8. 
 
 O King of royal race, 
 
 Thy sons of heavenly birth 
 Thou wilt endow with kingly gifts

 Mount Zion, glorious and fair, 
 Gives joy to people in all lands; 
 
 The city of the mighty King 
 in majesty securely stands.

 Where'er Thy Name, O God, is known, 
 Where'er Thy glorious fame extends. 
 
 There also is Thy praise proclaimed, 
 Far as the earth's remotest ends. 
 
 .3. 
 
 Within her dwellings for defense 
 Our God has made His presence known, 
 
 And hostile kings, in sudden fear, 
 Have fled as ships by tempests blown. 
 
 Thy hand is full of righteousness: 
 Let Zion's gladness then be great. 
 
 And let her daughters sing for joy 
 And all Thy judgments celebrate. 
 
 With our own eyes we have beheld 
 What oft our fathers told before. 
 
 That God Who in His Zion dwells 
 Wil keep her safely evermore. 
 
 Encompass Zion, count her towers, 
 And mark her strong defenses well; 
 
 Consider all her palaces. 
 And to your sons her glory tell. 
 
 Within Thy temple's sacred courts, 
 With loving and adoring thought, 
 
 We contemplate Thy grace, O God, 
 And all Thy deeds with mercy fraught. 
 
 This mighty God forever lives 
 Our God and Saviour to abide; 
 
 And till our pilgrim days shall end 
 Will ever be our faithful guide.

 5. If from death one would be free . 
 And corruption never see , 
 Costly is life's ransom price , 
 
 Far beyond all sacrifice. 
 
 6. Dust to dust, the mortal dies, 
 Both the foolish and the wise ; 
 None forever can remain ; 
 
 Each must leave his hoarded gain. 
 
 7. Yet within their heart they say 
 That their houses are for aye , 
 That their dwelling-places grand 
 Shall for generations stand. 
 
 8. To their lands they give their name 
 In the hope of lasting fame ; 
 
 But man's honor quickly flies. 
 Like the lowly beast he dies. 
 
 9. Though such folly mark their way , 
 Men approve of what they say ; 
 Death their shepherd , they the sheep 
 He within his fold will keep. 
 
 10. O'er them soon shall rule the just, 
 All their beauty turn to dust; 
 
 God my waiting soul shall save , 
 He will raise me from the grave. 
 
 11. Let no fear disturb your peace 
 Though one's house and wealth increase 
 Death shall end his fleeting day , 
 
 He shall carry naught away. 
 
 12. Though in life he wealth attained. 
 Though the praise of men he gained , 
 He shall join those gone before , 
 Where the light shall shine no more. 
 
 13. Crowned with honor though he be, 
 Highly gifted , strong and free , 
 
 If he be not truly wise , 
 
 Man is like the beast that dies.

 He calls aloud to heaven and earth 
 That He may justly judge His own; 
 
 My chosen saints together bring 
 Who sacrifice to Me alone. 
 
 The heavens His righteousness declare, 
 
 For God Himself as judge is there. 
 
 Bring thou to God the gift of thanks, 
 And pay thy vows to God Most High: 
 
 Call ye upon My holy Name 
 In days when sore distress is nigh; 
 
 Deliverance I will send to thee, 
 
 And praises thou shalt give to Me. 
 
 Hear, O my people, I will speak; 
 
 Against thee I will testify; 
 Give ear to Me, O Israel, 
 
 For God, thy covenant God, am I. 
 I do not spurn thy sacrifice; 
 Thine offerings are before Mine eyes. 
 
 7. 
 
 Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men: 
 My statutes why do ye declare? 
 
 Why take My covenant in your mouth, 
 Since ye for wisdom do not care? 
 
 For ye My holy words profane 
 
 And cast them from you in disdain. 
 
 4. 
 
 I will receive from out thy fold 
 No offering for My holy shrine; 
 
 The cattle on a thousand hills 
 And all the forest beasts are Mine; 
 
 Each mountain bird to Me is known. 
 
 Whatever roams the field 1 own. 
 
 Ye have consented with the thief. 
 Ye have partaken with the vile, 
 
 Your mouths to evil words ye give. 
 Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile, 
 
 Ye glory in your brother's shame. 
 
 Your mother's son do ye defame. 
 
 Behold , if 1 should hungry grow, 
 I would not tell My need to thee, 
 
 For all the world itself is Mine, 
 And all its wealth belongs to Me. 
 
 Why should I aught of thee receive, 
 
 My thirst or hunger to relieve? 
 
 Thus have ye done; I silence kept, 
 And this has been your secret thought. 
 
 That I was wholly as yourselves, 
 To take your evil deeds as nought; 
 
 I will reprove you and array 
 
 Your deeds before your eyes this day. 
 
 10. 
 
 Consider this, who God forget. 
 Lest I destroy with none to free. 
 
 Who offers sacrifice of thanks, 
 He glorifies and honors Me. 
 
 To him who orders well his way 
 
 Salvation free I will display.

 4. Broken, humbled to the dust 
 
 By Thy wrath and judgment just, 
 Let my contrite heart rejoice

 5. Gracious God, my heart renew, 
 Make my spirit right and true; 
 Cast me not away from Thee, 
 Let Thy Spirit dwell in me; 
 Thy salvation's joy impart, 
 Steadfast make my willing heart. 
 
 6. Sinners then shall learn from me 
 And return, O God, to Thee. 
 Saviour, all my guilt remove, 
 
 And my tongue shall sing Thy love; 
 Touch my silent lips, O Lord, 
 And my mouth shall praise accord. 
 
 7. Not the formal sacrifice 
 
 Hath acceptance in Thine eyes; 
 Broken hearts are in Thy sight 
 More than sacrificial rite; 
 Contrite spirit, pleading cries. 
 Thou, O God, wilt not despise. 
 
 8. Prosper Zion in Thy grace 
 And her broken walls replace; 
 Then our righteous sacrifice 
 Shall delight Thy holy eyes; 
 Free-will offerings, gladly made. 
 On Thine altar shall be laid.

 Though ways of trial and distress 
 
 Thy people Thou hast led; 
 A bitter cup Thou givest us 
 
 Of misery and dread. 
 A glorious banner Thou hast given 
 
 To those who fear Thy Name. 
 A banner to display abroad , 
 
 And thus the truth proclaim. 
 
 That Thy beloved may be saved 
 
 And from their foes set free, 
 Help with the might of Thy right hand

 All heathen lands 1 claim as Mine, 
 
 And they shall bow to Me. 
 
 Now, therefore, who will lead us on 
 
 Sin's strongholds to possess? 
 No longer cast us off, God, 
 
 But give our hosts success. 
 Give Thou Thy help against the foe. 
 
 For help of man is vain; 
 Through God we shall do valiantly. 
 
 The victory He shall gain.

 Forever blessed be. 
 Who has not turned my prayer from Him,

 Lord, all the earth shall bow before Thee, 
 
 And praises to Thy Name shall bring; 
 Yea, with Thy mighty works and wonders 
 
 Make all the gates of Zion ring ! 
 Come and behold with admiration 
 
 What God hath wrought, His doings see; 
 In dealing with our race and kindred, 
 
 A Qod most terrible is He ! 
 
 He checked the sea's tempestuous foaming, 
 
 He stilled the angry billows roar. 
 As on dry land His people passing, 
 
 Rejoiced to see their perils o'er. 
 Almighty God, He rules forever; 
 
 His piercing eyes the nations try; 
 No proud rebellious one shall ever 
 
 Prevail against our God most High! 
 
 Bless, bless our God, o all ye peoples! 
 
 Proclaim His praises far and wide; 
 Our soul in life He safely keepeth. 
 
 And suffereth not our feet to slide. 
 Thou, o our God, hast proved us often; 
 
 Yea, Thou hast tried us o'er and o'er 
 As silver; in the net hast brought us, 
 
 And laid on us a burden sore. 
 
 Oft o'er our heads our foes were riding; 
 
 Through fire and water we have passed 
 But Thou into a place of plenty 
 
 Hast brought Thy people home at last. 
 My vows I'll pay, as 1 have spoken. 
 
 Burnt-offering to Thee I'll bring, 
 Which in distress my lips have promised; 
 
 And ever of Thy mercy sing. 
 
 Burnt-offerings of the best of cattle 
 
 I gladly to Thy courts will bring; 
 The choicest incense of Thine altars 
 
 I'll make to Thee an offering. 
 Come, hear all ye that fear Jehovah, 
 
 What He has done unto my soul: 
 He heard my cry to Him in trouble. 
 
 And so my tongue did Him extol. 
 
 If in my heart I sin do cherish. 
 
 The Lord will hide from me His face; 
 But to my prayer my God attended, 
 
 And satisfied me with His grace. 
 O blessed be the Lord, our Helper, 
 
 Who hath not turned my prayer away; 
 Who hath not turned from me His mercy: 
 
 blessed be the Lord for aye!

 And songs of gladness ring ; 
 For Thou shalt judge the people 
 
 In truth and righteousness, 
 And through the earth the nations 
 
 Shall Thy just rule confess. 
 
 3. 
 
 O God , let people praise Thee , 
 
 Lett all the nations sing. 
 For earth in rich abundance 
 
 To us her fruit shall bring. 
 The Lord our God shall bless us 
 
 Our God shall blessing send ; 
 And all the earth shall fear Him 
 
 To its remotest end.

 A father of the fatherless, 
 
 A judge of widows in distress 
 
 Is God, where He abideth. 
 To those in solitude who live, 
 He doth a happy household give, 
 
 In homes that He provideth. 
 The captives He from prison doth bring. 
 And prosper them, that they may sing 
 
 Of Him and His salvation. 
 But they, who wickedly rebel, 
 He causeth in His wrath to dwell 
 
 In lands of desolation. 
 
 When Thou. God, didst lead the way. 
 Before Thy people day by day, 
 
 In pathless wilds assembled. 
 Earth shook with fear; the heavens were bowed 
 Before Thy presence in the cloud; 
 
 The base of Sinai trembled. 
 Thou ; God, didst send a plenteous rain, 
 To cheer Thy weary parched domain, 
 
 With blessing overflowing. 
 Thy people dwelt therein and shared 
 Thy goodness for Thy poor prepared. 
 
 The gifts of Thy bestowing. 
 
 The Lord Himself gave forth the word; 
 From hosts of women was it heard 
 
 How He to victory guided: 
 And they who tarried, when in dread 
 Defeated kings of armies fled, 
 
 At home the spoils divided. 
 When ye among the sheepfolds rest. 
 No longer by your foes distressed, 
 
 There shall to you be given 
 The beauty of a dove, arrayed 
 In silver-white, with wings o'erlaid 
 
 With golden rays from heaven. 
 
 When God smote kings that here had been, 
 it was as when the snow was seen 
 
 In Zalmon's dark recesses. 
 O mighty Bashan, though so high. 
 Why look askance with envious eye 
 
 On Zion that He blesses! 
 Of all the mountains far and near. 
 Mount Zion is to God most dear. 
 
 All other hills excelling. 
 In this the Lord delight doth take, 
 And this He hath desired to make 
 
 Forevermore His dwelling. 
 
 God's chariots, on His peoples' side 
 Are myriads, myriads multiplied, 
 
 With Him among them dwelling, 
 As once He dwelt with veiled face 
 In Sinai as His holy place, 
 
 in glory all excelling. 
 Thou hast ascended gloriously. 
 And captive led captivity; 
 
 Thine arm hath brought salvation. 
 They come with gifts who did rebel. 
 That God The Lord with them may dwell 
 
 And be their consolation. 
 
 Blest be the Lord, for us He cares 
 And day by day our burden bears. 
 
 The God of our salvation. 
 God is to us a God of love. 
 Who sends deliverance from above 
 
 From death and desolation. 
 But those who will in sin delight, 
 He will with swift destruction smite. 
 
 And make His saints victorious; 
 Yea, them I'll bring — He saith to me — 
 From lands remote, from depths of sea, 
 
 And make thy triumph glorious. 
 
 My God, my King, Thou God of grace. 
 They saw Thine entrance to Thy place 
 
 Of holy habitation. 
 The singers led , and then a throng 
 Of minstrel maidens came with song 
 
 And timbrels' jubilation. 
 O bless ye God , your praises bring , 
 Amid the congregation sing, 
 
 Jehovah's praises voicing. 
 The praises of the Lord recount. 
 All ye that spring from Israel's fount. 
 
 Always in God rejoicing. 
 
 Oh sing, ye kingdoms, far and wide 
 To Him that on the heavens doth ride. 
 
 And speaketh as with thunder. 
 Ascribe ye power to God , whose might 
 The heavens reveal by day and night 
 
 In every flaming wonder. 
 Though fearful in His holy place, 
 With 'joy the saints behold His grace 
 
 And glory all transcending. 
 Oh God, Thy peoples' strength confessed. 
 Thou givest power. Let God be blessed 
 
 To ages never ending.

 Blest be the Lord ! For us He cares 
 And daily all our burden bears; 
 Our God is mighty, strong to save ; 
 Jehovah frees us from the grave. 
 God's unrelenting enemies 
 -No peace shall find in earth or seas; 
 His people shall triumphant go 
 Victorious over every foe. 
 
 3. 
 
 God saved His people from distress 
 And led them through the wilderness; 
 Then mountains trembled in their place , 
 The heavens were bowed before His face. 
 With copious showers Thou didst assuage 
 The thirsting of Thy heritage ; 
 Thy congregation dwelt secure ; 
 Thou, God, art gracious to the poor. 
 
 With glorious pomp our King and God 
 
 Has entered into His abode 
 
 With sacred minstrelsy and song, 
 
 While maidens with their timbrels throng. 
 
 Assemble ye before His face. 
 
 All ye that spring from Israel's race; 
 
 Ye chosen tribes , with one accord 
 
 Come ye, and bless your God, the Lord. 
 
 4. 
 
 The Lord sent forth His mighty word , 
 
 And shouts of victory were heard ; 
 
 The women came , a mighty throng , 
 
 To join the glad triumphant song. 
 
 When God His chosen people led, 
 
 The kings and armies turned and fled; 
 
 The hosts of God victorious fought, 
 
 And home their spoils and trophies brought. 
 
 O Zion , 'tis thy God's command 
 That thou in strength securely stand ; 
 O God, confirm and strengthen still, 
 Thy purposes in us fulfil. 
 O Thou , Whose glorious temple stands 
 In Zion, famed through heathen lands,— 
 Kings shall Thy power and glory see , 
 And bring their presents unto Thee. 
 
 5. 
 
 God's people rested, free from care, 
 In glorious peace and beauty fair; 
 Their mighty King did overthrow 
 The hostile kings like driven snow. 
 All mountains unto God belong, 
 But Zion's holy mountains strong 
 Above them all the Lord loves well. 
 And there He will forever dwell. 
 
 10. 
 
 Thou wilt rebuke the fierce and strong 
 
 Who hate the right and choose the wrong. 
 
 And scatter those who peace abhor, 
 
 The nations that delight in war. 
 
 The heathen princes yet shall flee 
 
 From idols and return to Thee; 
 
 Earth's sinful and benighted lands 
 
 To God shall soon stretch out their hands. 
 
 Great hosts to holy wars have trod. 
 
 The armies of the living God; 
 
 Among them He reveals His face, 
 
 The God of justice and of grace. 
 
 Thou hast ascended up on high 
 
 And captive led captivity; 
 
 They come with gifts,, who did rebel. 
 
 That with them God the Lord might dwell. 
 
 n. 
 
 Praise God and sing His matchless worth; 
 Ye kings and kingdoms of the earth; 
 He dwells within the heavenly height, 
 And utters forth His voice of might. 
 Ascribe ye strength to God on high; 
 His might transcendent fills the sky; 
 His glory and omnipotence 
 Remain His people's sure defense. 
 
 12. 
 
 Forth from Thy dwelling-place, O God. 
 Thine awful glory shines abroad; 
 Thy people's strength is all from Thee; 
 Blest be Thy Name eternally.

 In full assurance of Thy grace 
 
 To Thee my prayers ascend ; 
 In Thine abounding love and truth , 
 
 O God , salvation send. 
 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray, 
 
 From tides of hatred save ; 
 Let not the waters overflow ; 
 
 Redeem me from the grave. 
 
 They gave me bitter gall for food , 
 
 And taunting words they spake ; 
 They gave me vinegar to drink, 
 
 My burning thirst to slake. 
 Their peace and plenty be their snare; 
 
 In blindness let them grope; 
 Thine indignation on them pour, 
 
 And desolate their hope. 
 
 Because Thy mercy , Lord , is good , 
 
 O answer me in grace ; 
 And in the riches of Thy love 
 
 turn to me Thy face. 
 Hide not Thy face from my distress, 
 
 A speedy answer send ; 
 Draw near to me , my soul redeem , 
 
 From all my foes defend. 
 
 9. 
 
 Because they proudly persecute 
 
 Those whom Thou , Lord , dost smite , 
 Let them be blotted from Thy book 
 
 And banished from Thy sight. 
 Though I am poor and sorrowful , 
 
 Hear Thou , God , my cry ; 
 Let Thy salvation come to me 
 
 And lift me up on high. 
 
 7. 
 
 Well known to Thee is my reproach , 
 
 My shame and my disgrace ; 
 The adversaries of my soul 
 
 Are all before Thy face. 
 My heart is broken by reproach , 
 
 My soul is full of grief; 
 1 looked in vain for comforters , 
 
 For pity and relief. 
 
 10. 
 
 Then will I praise my God with song. 
 
 To Him my thanks shall rise, 
 And this shall please Jehovah more 
 
 Than offered sacrifice. 
 The meek shall see it and rejoice; 
 
 Ye saints , no more be sad ; 
 For lo , Jehovah hears the poor 
 
 And makes His prisoners glad. 
 
 11. 
 
 Let heaven and earth and seas rejoice , 
 
 Let all therein give praise ; 
 For Zion God will surely save. 
 
 Her broken walls will raise. 
 In Zion they that love His Name 
 
 Shall dwell from age to age; 
 Yea, there shall be their lasting rest. 
 
 Their children's heritage.

 My ceaseless praise is Thine ;

 Of truth and grace divine. 
 Yea , I will tell the mighty acts 
 
 Performed by God the Lord ; 
 Thy righteousness , and Thine alone 
 
 With praise I will record. 
 
 Though troubles great o'ershadow me. 
 
 Thou art my refuge strong; 
 My mouth shall praise Thee all the day,

 Cast me not off when hoary age 
 
 Becomes my weary lot. 
 And in the days of failing strength 
 
 Do Thou forsake me not.

 For from my early youth , O God , 
 
 By Thee have I been taught, 
 And faithfully have I declared 
 
 The wonders Thou hast wrought. 
 O gracious God , forsake me not 
 
 When I am old and gray , 
 That unto those that follow me 
 
 I may Thy might display. 
 
 My foes are strong and confident, 
 
 For I to them appear 
 As one forsaken by his God , 
 
 With none to help me near. 
 My God , be Thou not far from me , 
 
 Make haste to hear my call ; 
 Ashamed, consumed be all my foes. 
 
 Dishonored let them fall. 
 
 Thy perfect righteousness , God 
 
 The height of heaven exceeds ; 
 O who is like to Thee, Who hast 
 
 Performed such mighty deeds ? 
 Thou Who hast sent me many griefs 
 
 Wilt yet my soul restore. 
 And out of sorrow's lowest depths 
 
 Wilt bring me forth once more. 
 
 O turn again and comfort me , 
 
 My waning strength increase. 
 And for Thy faithfulness , O God , 
 
 My praise shall never cease. 
 Thou Holy One of Israel, 
 
 To Thee sweet songs I raise ; 
 The soul Thou hast redeemed from death 
 
 Shall give Thee joyful praise. 
 
 My enemies that seek my hurt 
 Thy help has put to shame : 
 
 My thankful tongue will ceaselessly 
 Thy righteousness proclaim.

 Then the very hills shall yield 
 
 Fruits of peace and righteousness, 
 He Thy needy ones will shield , 
 
 Save their children in distress. 
 Breaker of the oppressor's pride! 
 
 All to Thee in fear shall bend , 
 While the sun and moon abide. 
 
 Through all ages till the end. 
 
 6. 
 
 They shall live and , thankful , bring 
 
 Sheba's gold in offering meet. 
 Ceaselessly for Zion's King 
 
 Prayer shall rise as incense sweet. 
 Constant as His gifts descend , 
 
 Shall return the gladsome song ; 
 Praise of earth and heaven blend , 
 
 Blessing Him the whole day long. 
 
 He will come as gentle rains 
 
 On the new-mown grass distilled ; 
 And, as on the thirsty plains 
 
 Fall the showers with blessing filled. 
 In His days, with glory crowned, 
 
 Righteousness shall wide prevail ; 
 Peace through all the earth abound 
 
 Till the light of moons shall fail. 
 
 Yea, upon the mountain height 
 
 Plenteous fields of grain shall stand; 
 Rustling in the winds of night. 
 
 As old Lebanon's cedars grand. 
 And in Zion , happy place, 
 
 Numerous sons shall spring to birth , 
 Flourishing in princely grace, 
 
 As the grass that decks the earth. 
 
 He shall reign from sea to sea , 
 
 Through all lands to earth's far end 
 Wildest tribes shall bow the knee , 
 
 Foes to dust their faces bend. 
 Kings of distant lands shall lay 
 
 Rich oblations at His feet; 
 All earth's kings shall tribute pay , 
 
 Nations render service meet. 
 
 Ever shall His name endure 
 
 And increase while shines the light; 
 Scattering wide its blessings pure , 
 
 Till the sun shall sink in night. 
 Yea, though sun and stars grow dim, 
 
 Fade away to shine no more , 
 Men shall still be blessed in Him , 
 
 Call Him happy and adore. 
 
 When the poor and needy cry 
 
 In their helplessness and grief , 
 Then the pitying Lord is nigh , 
 
 And will grant them swift relief. 
 From the oppressor's wrath and power 
 
 He'll redeem them by His might: 
 And their blood, in life's last hour, 
 
 Shall be precious in His sight. 
 
 9. 
 
 Blessed be the King of kings ! 
 
 Blessed Thou , Jehovah God ! 
 Who alone dost wondrous things , 
 
 God of Israel and our God. 
 Blessed be thy glorious name ! 
 
 Name of all surpassing worth — 
 Jesus Christ fore'er the same — 
 
 Let Thy glory fill the earth !

 In garments of boasting and violence decked, 
 With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, 
 They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress; 
 The heavens and the earth they assume to possess. 
 
 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain 
 The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; 
 They question God's knowledge and boldly defy 
 The might and Ihc justice of God the Most High. 
 
141 
 
 The wicked , grown wealthy, have comfort and peace , 
 While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, 
 And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain. 
 That clean hands are worthless , and pure hearts are vain. 
 
 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled; 
 The end of life's journey I clearly beheld. 
 I saw in what peril ungodly men stand 
 With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 
 
 7. As when one awaking forgetteth his dream , 
 
 So God will despise them, though great they may seem; 
 My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought. 
 Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought. 
 
 Lo, I, though afflicted, am ever with Thee; 
 
 My hand is in Thy hand, Thou carest for me; 
 
 My soul with Thy counsel through life Thou wilt guide, 
 
 And afterward make me in glory abide. 
 
 In glory Thou only ray portion shalt be. 
 On earth for none other I long but for Thee ; 
 My flesh and heart falter, but God is my stay, 
 The strength of my spirit, my portion for aye. 
 
 10. All they that forsake Thee must perish and die, 
 But near to my Saviour most blessed am I. 
 1 make Thee my refuge, my Lord and my God; 
 Thy grace and Thy glory I publish abroad.

 Arise , O God of grace , 
 And see the ruin foes have wrought 
 
 Within Thy holy place. 
 Amid Thy courts are lifted high 
 
 The standards of the foe , 
 And impious hands with axe and fire 
 
 Have laid Thy temple low. 
 
 3. They have profaned the holy place 
 
 Where Thou hast set Thy Name ; 
 The sanctuaries of our God 
 
 Are given to the flame. 
 We see no signs of power divine , 
 
 No prophet speaks for Thee. 
 And none can tell, and none can know, 
 
 How long these woes shall be. 
 
 4. How long, O God, shall blasphemy 
 
 And shame reproach our land? 
 Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes 
 
 With Thine almighty hand? 
 O God , Thou art our King of old , 
 
 Salvation Thou hast wrought ; 
 In safety through the mighty sea 
 
 Our fathers Thou hast brought. 
 
 5. With mighty arm Thou didst destroy 
 
 The pride of boastful man , 
 And for Thy people made a path

 The day is Thine, and Thine the night, 
 
 And Thine the shining sun ; 
 At Thy command earth's bounds are set 
 
 And changing seasons run.

 2. The thought of God brought me no peace. 
 But rather made my fears increase ; 
 
 With sleepless eyes and speechless pain 
 My fainting spirit grieved in vain ; 
 The blessedness of long ago 
 Made deeper still my present woe. 
 
 3. Recalling days when faith was bright. 
 When songs of gladness filled my night, 
 1 pondered o'er my grievious woes 
 
 And searching questioning arose : 
 Will God cast off, and nevermore 
 His favor to my soul restore ? 
 
 4. 1 asked in fear and bitterness, 
 Will God forsake me in distress ? 
 Shall 1 His promise faithless find? 
 Has God forgotten to be kind? 
 Has He in anger hopelessly 
 Removed His love and grace from me ? 
 
 5. These doubts and fears that troubled me 
 Were born of my infirmity; 
 
 Though I am weak, God is most high, 
 
 And on His goodness I rely ; 
 
 Of all His wonders I will tell , 
 
 And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell. 
 
 6. O God , most holy are Thy ways , 
 
 And who like Thee deserves my praise ? 
 Thou only doest wondrous things ; 
 The whole wide world Thy glory sings; 
 Thine outstretched arm Thy people saved, 
 Though sore distressed and long enslaved. 
 
 7. O God, from Thee the waters fled. 
 
 The depths were moved with mighty dread. 
 The swelling clouds their torrents poured , 
 And o'er the earth the tempest roared ; 
 'Mid lightning's flash and thunder's sound 
 Great trembling shook the solid ground. 
 
 8. Thy way was in the sea, O God, 
 Through mighty waters, deep and broad; 
 None understood but God alone , 
 
 To man Thy footsteps were unknown; 
 But safe Thy people Thou didst keep , 
 Almighty Shepherd of Thy sheep.

 The story be told, to warn and restrain, 
 
 Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain, 
 
 Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, 
 
 Who kept not God's covenant nor walked in His fear. 
 
 God's wonderful works to them He had shown , 
 His marvelous deeds their fathers had known ; 
 He made for their pathway the waters divide, 
 His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 
 
 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, 
 And forth from the rock caused water to burst ; 
 Yet faithless they tempted their God , and they said. 
 Can He Who gave water supply us with bread ? 
 
149 
 
 7. Jehovah was wroth because they forgot 
 
 To hope in their God , and trusted Him not; 
 Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky 
 And rained down the manna in richest supply. 
 
 8. With bread from on high their need He supplied , 
 And more did He do when thankless they sighed ; 
 
 The strong winds commanding from south and from east, 
 He sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 
 
 9. Though well they were filled, their folly they chose, 
 Till God in His wrath o'erwhelmed them with woes ; 
 He slew of their strongest and smote their young men , 
 But still unbelieving they sinned even then. 
 
 10. Because of their sin He smote with His rod , 
 And then they returned and sought for their God ; 
 Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High, 
 Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie. 
 
 11. Not right with their God in heart and in will. 
 They faithlessly broke His covenant still ; 
 
 But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay. 
 Forgave them and oft turned His anger away. 
 
 12. His pity was great , though often they sinned , 
 For they were but flesh , a swift passing wind ; 
 Yet though His compassion and grace they beheld. 
 They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled. 
 
 13. They limited God, the Most Holy One, 
 
 And hindered the work His grace had begun; 
 The hand that was mighty to save they forgot, 
 The day of redemption remembering not. 
 
 14. Ungrateful and blind , no longer they thought 
 
 Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought, 
 
 Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red , 
 
 And plagues in God's anger were heaped on their head. 
 
 15. They thought not of how, their freedom to gain, 
 in Egypt's abodes the first-born were slain , 
 
 And how all God's people were led forth like sheep. 
 The flock He delighted in safety to keep. 
 
 16. Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe. 
 He caused them with ease and safety to go; 
 
 His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought 
 To dwell in the mountain the Lord's hand had bought. 
 
 17. He gave them the land , a heritage fair ; 
 The nations that dwelt in wickedness there 
 
 He drove out before them with great overthrow . 
 And gave to His people the tents of the foe. 
 
 18. Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord , 
 Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred; 
 
 And God in His anger withdrew from them then , 
 No longer delighting to dwell among men. 
 
 19. He gave them to death in battle , although 
 
 His glory and strength were scorned by the foe ; 
 Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed, 
 Their priests slain in battle , none wept for the dead. 
 
 20. Then mercy awoke , the Lord in His might 
 Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight; 
 Again to His people His favor He showed , 
 And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode. 
 
 21. His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep, 
 t-ro'i tending his flock, the people to keep; 
 
 So David , their shepherd , with wisdom and might 
 Protected and fed them and led them aright.

 When they were dead. 
 Our very names as a reproach 
 
 On neighbors' lips are found; 
 We are a scorn and laughing stock 
 
 To all around. 
 
 3. How long Jehovah ? Nevermore 
 
 Wilt Thou from anger turn ? 
 And shall Thy fervent jealousy 
 
 Forever burn? 
 On heathen kingdoms pour Thy wrath. 
 
 That call not on Thy name, 
 For Jacob they devour, and waste 
 
 His fields with flame. 
 
 4. Lay not on us our fathers' sins ; 
 
 Thy tender mercies show; 
 quickly send relief to us 
 
 Now brought so low. 
 O God, our Saviour, give us help; 
 
 To Thy name glory take. 
 Deliver us and cleanse from sin 
 
 For Thy name's sake. 
 
 5. The heathen say, „Where is their God?" 
 
 But let it now be shown 
 Thou dost avenge the blood of those 
 
 Who are Thine own. 
 O let the prisoners' sighs ascend 
 
 Before Thee, throned on high; 
 According to Thy might preserve 
 
 Those doomed to die. 
 
 6. And to our neighbors' bosom turn , 
 
 In seven-fold reward , 
 All their reproach which they have cast 
 
 On Thee, O Lord. 
 So we Thy people, Thine own flock, 
 
 Will ever bless Thy name; 
 And unto every age will we 
 
 Thy praise proclaim.

 O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore , 
 
 And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. 
 
 A place for Thy people Thou , Lord , didst prepare ; 
 Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care ; 
 Its branches like cedars , majestic and free , 
 Spread over the mountains from river to sea. 
 
 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows , 
 Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes. 
 O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, 
 Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine. 
 
 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down , 
 Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown ; 
 The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, 
 The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do. 
 
 When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name we will praise , 
 
 And nevermore , turning , depart from Thy ways ; 
 
 Lord God Almighty , in mercy restore , 
 
 And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

 Behold their throngs who violence employ!

 Full of compassion as in days of old. 
 Slow unto wrath, withholding long Thy rod. 
 Rich in Thy truth and mercies manifold.

 Hide not Thy face away from me in scorn; 
 Thy fainting servant with Thy strength restore. 
 And save the son of Thine own handmaid born.

 To praise Thy wondrous worl<s, O Lord; 
 Thy faithfulness shall praise command 
 Where holy ones assembled stand. 
 
 7. O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts, 
 
 What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? 
 In all Thy works and vast designs 
 Thy faithfulness forever shines. 
 
 5. Who in the heavenly dwellings fair 
 Can with the Lord Himself compare? 
 Or who among the mighty shares 
 The likeness that Jehovah bears? 
 
 The swelling sea obeys Thy will, 
 Its angry waves Thy voice can still; 
 Thy mighty enemies are slain. 
 Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. 
 
167 
 
 9. The heavens and earth, by right divine, 
 The world and all therein, are Thine; 
 The whole creation's wondrous frame 
 Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name. 
 
 10. Almighty God, Thy lofty throne 
 Has justice for its corner-stone; 
 And shining bright before Thy face 
 
 Are truth and love and boundless grace. 
 
 11. With blessing is the nation crowned 
 Whose people know the joyful sound; 
 They in the light, O Lord, shall live, 
 The light Thy face and favor give. 
 
 12. Thy Name with gladness they confess, 
 Exalted in Thy righteousness; 
 
 Their fame and might to Thee belong, 
 For in Thy favor they are strong. 
 
 13. All glory unto God we yield, 
 Jehovah is our help and shield; 
 All praise and honor we will bring 
 To Israel's Holy One, our King. 
 
 14. In vision to His saints God spake: 
 From out the people one 1 take 
 
 A mighty leader, true and brave. 
 Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 
 
 16. My chosen servant 1 appoint, 
 With holy oil his head anoint; 
 My hand with him shall still remain, 
 My arm his strength shall well sustain. 
 
 16. No enemy shall him affright. 
 His adversaries I will smite. 
 
 My faithfulness to him will prove, 
 And nevermore My grace remove. 
 
 17. Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, 
 And great shall be his power and fame; 
 From sea to sea his mighty hand 
 
 Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 
 
 18. Thou art my Father, he shall cry. 
 My God, my rock of refuge high; 
 My firstborn son shall he be owned, 
 Above the kings of earth enthroned. 
 
 19. For him My mercy shall endure. 
 My covenant made with him is sure; 
 His throne and race I will maintain 
 Forever, while the heavens remain. 
 
 20. Should sons of his my laws forsake. 
 My just commands and statutes break, 
 Then, though My rod their sins reprove, 
 My mercy I will not remove. 
 
 21. Though they be chastened sore and tried. 
 My faithfulness shal yet abide; 
 
 My plighted word I will not break. 
 Nor change the promise that I spake. 
 
 22. My oath is steadfast, ever sure. 
 My servant's race shall still endure; 
 His throne forever firm shall stay 
 When sun and moon have passed away. 
 
 23. On Thine anointed wrath is poured 
 As if Thy covenant were abhorred; 
 Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, 
 His matchless strength is broken down. 
 
 24. He is reproached and spoiled of all. 
 His enemies upon him fall; 
 
 His beauty is consumed away. 
 Forgotten is his kingly sway. 
 
 25. Cut off in youth, his sacred name 
 
 Is covered now with deepest shame; 
 How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide, 
 Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 
 
 26. Think on my life! O Lord, take thought! 
 Hast Thou created man for nought? 
 What man that lives has power to save 
 His soul from death, and from the grave? 
 
 27. Where are Thy mercies which of old 
 Were in Thy promises foretold? 
 Remember, Lord, the bitter shame 
 Heaped on Thine own anointed's name. 
 
 28. Blest be the Lord forevermore, 
 
 Whose promise stands from days of yore. 
 His word is faithful now as then ; 
 Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

 With Thine own chosen One a cov'nant Thou hast made, 
 
 And to Thy Servant sworn, in truth to ail displayed. 
 
 That evermore His seed Thou wilt establish surely, 
 
 And unto every age wilt build His throne securely. 
 
 The wonders of Thy grace the heavens, O Lord, are telling, 
 
 And to Thy faithfulness the saints their praises swelling. 
 
 Who in the skies, O Lord, with Thee compared can be? 
 Among the mighty ones who is there like to Thee? 
 A God most greatly to be feared where saints assemble; 
 Lord God of Hosts Thou art, let all the people tremble. 
 Who is there like to Thee, in might the ocean stilling. 
 With faithfulness about Thee, all Thy word fulfilling? 
 
 Thy foes are crushed by Thee; as slain they all appear; 
 Thine arm of strength alone hath scatterred them in fear. 
 The heavens, the earth, the world and all its fulness golden 
 Are Thine who foundedst it of old and hast upholden. 
 The north, the south, the mountains, hills, and valleys lowly 
 Rejoicing sing their great Creator's name Most Holy. 
 
 Thou hast a mighty arm and strong is Thy right hand; 
 On justice and on righteousness Thy throne doth stand: 
 Before Thy face are truth and grace as heralds going, 
 And blest the people are the joyful tidings knowing. 
 They walk in light, o Lord, that from Thy face is shining. 
 And in Thy name rejoice from dawn to day's declining. 
 
 r 
 
 On high exalted in Thy righteousness are they; 
 The glory of their strength Thou art and all their stay. 
 Of Thy good favor, Lord, have we our exaltation. 
 To Thee alone belongs the shield of our salvation; 
 And unto Thee who art Thy people's God Most Holy, 
 Belongs our King, who yet in heart is meek and lowly. 
 
 Then in a vision Thou to saints didst speak and say — 
 
 Help on a chosen mighty One is laid this day; 
 
 My Servant 1 have found, with holy oil anointed. 
 
 And with my hand will strengthen Him for work appointed. 
 
 No foe shall on Him seize, nor wicked men distress Him; 
 
 I will smite down all those who hate and would oppress Him.

 9. Forever will I keep my mercy for his sake, 
 
 And faithful shall be proved the cov'nant word I spake 
 Of endless years unto his children's children given, 
 And that his throne shall be as are the days of heaven: 
 But only, if his sons do not, my law forsaking, 
 Walk their own ways of sin, my holy statutes breaking. 
 
 10. But if my law they break and my commands despise. 
 With rod and stripes that grieve will I their sin chastise. 
 And yet from him my grace shall not be wholly taken; 
 Good faith shall fail him not nor he be quite forsaken. 
 My cov'nant with him made shall not by me be broken, 
 Nor will I change one word that 1 to him have spoken. 
 
 By mine own holiness I once have sworn — saith He, 
 
 Nor can my plighted word to David faithless be, 
 
 That unto endless years shall be his children's story. 
 
 His throne be as the sun unfading in its glory. 
 
 And 'stablished as the moon that faithful witness beareth, 
 
 And in the starry skies my faithfulness declareth. 
 
 12. Yet Thine anointed one Thou hast in wrath cast down; 
 Thou hast abhorred Thy word; to dust profaned his crown: 
 His strongholds are to ruin brought, his hedges broken: 
 Despoiled by all, he hears contempt by neighbors spoken. 
 His foes, by Thee made strong, behold with exultation 
 How vain his sword amid the battle's desolation. 
 
 13. His throne Thou hast brought down and dimmed his glory's fame; 
 His youth Thou hast made short and covered him with shame. 
 How long O Lord? Wilt Thou thus hide Thyself forever? 
 Shall wrath burn like the fire that can be quenched never? 
 Remember Thou my life, so short and desolated: 
 For what vain end hast Thou the sons of men created? 
 
 14. What man is he that lives who shall not soon see death? 
 And who can save himself when fails life's fleeting breath? 
 O Lord, in that great day let not Thy mercy fail us! 
 Let loving kindnesses of old once more avail us! 
 What Thou in faithfulness hast sworn to Thine anointed. 
 Remember Thou when comes the time for all appointed. 
 
 15. Remember how for Thee we bear reproach and shame. 
 When mighty foes of Thine reproach us for Thy name. 
 Since Thy reproach is ours who live with Thee in union, 
 Remember us for good, who sing in glad communion — 
 BLEST BE FOREVERMORE THE LORD BY ALL CONFESSED ! 
 AMEN! YE PEOPLE SAY, AMEN! THE LORD BE BLESSED.

 1. Lord, through all the ge - ne - ra-tions Of the chil-dren of our 
 
 race, In our fears and tri - bu - la-tions, Thou hast been our dwel-ling- 
 
 place. E'er the vast and wide ere - a - tion By Thy word was caused to 
 
 Or 
 
 moun-tains held their sta-tion, Thou art God 
 
 ter - nal-ly. 
 
 Each succeeding generation 
 
 At thy mighty word appears; 
 Thou dost count in time's duration 
 
 One day as a thousand years. 
 Death, with swift and sudden warning, 
 
 Calls us from life's dream away, 
 Like the grass, green in the morning, 
 
 Withered e'er the close of day. 
 
 In Thy wrath our spirits languish. 
 
 Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; 
 All our days are passed in anguish, 
 
 In Thy wrath we pine and die. 
 Three-score years and ten we tarry, 
 
 Four-score years the strong may stay, 
 Long the load of grief to carry, 
 
 Till at last we fly away. 
 
 4. Who can weigh Thy just displeasure. 
 
 Who can fear Thee as he ought? 
 Teach us now our days to measure 
 
 And to wisdom turn our thought. 
 Lord, return, regard our sadness. 
 
 With Thy servants now abide; 
 Fill our days with joy and gladness. 
 
 With Thy mercy satisfied. 
 
 5. Long the clouds of evil lower; 
 
 Bless us now with gladsome days; 
 Let Thy servants see Thy power. 
 
 Let their children learn Thy praise. 
 On us let the grace and beauty 
 
 Of the Lord our God remain; 
 Strengthen us for noble duty 
 
 That our work be not in vain.

 What wicked men's reward shall be. 
 
 Though fierce and treacherous foes assail, 
 Their power and wrath shall not prevail; 
 Their cruel strength, their venomed spite. 
 Thou Shalt o'ercome with conquering might. 
 Because on Me he set his love,

 As oft as he shall call on Me , 
 Most gracious shall Mine answer be;

 Abundant life 1 will bestow, 
 To him My full salvation show.

 They slay the widow and the helpless stranger; 
 
 With murderous hand the orphan put to death: 
 And yet they say, "Jehovah shall not see it: 
 
 The God of Jacob ne'er considereth." 
 Consider this, ye brutish of the people. 
 
 Ye foolish ones, when will ye wisdom learn? 
 He who the ear hath planted shall He hear not? 
 
 Who formed the eye, shall not His eyes discern? 
 
 He that chastiseth nations, shall He judge not? 
 
 Even He that teacheth knowledge unto man? 
 The Lord doth know the thoughts of man within him. 
 
 For they are vanity, his life a span. 
 How blest the man whom Thou, O Lord, dost chasten; 
 
 Whom Thou from out Thy law dost teach Thy ways; 
 That till the pit be digged for all the wicked. 
 
 Thou may'st give rest to him from troublous days. 
 
 For never will the Lord cast off His people , 
 
 Nor His inheritance will He forsake ; 
 For judgment shall return to right and justice, 
 
 And all the true of heart its way shall take. 
 Who'll rise for me against the evil doers ? 
 
 Who will for me against the wicked stand? 
 Unless the Lord Himself had been my helper. 
 
 Soon had I dwelt within the silent land. 
 
 When I, with trembling, said, "My foot now slippeth," 
 
 Thy lovingkindness help me up , O Lord ; 
 Yea, in the multitude of thoughts within me. 
 
 Thy consolations great delight afford. 
 Shall throne of evil have with Thee communion. 
 
 Which frameth mischief under law's pretence? 
 Against the righteous gather they together. 
 
 And even condemn the blood of innocence. 
 
 But yet Jehovah hath been my high tower. 
 And God my rock of refuge still hath been. 
 
 And He hath brought upon them their own evil ; 
 The Lord our God will slay them in their sin.

 And upright hearts shall courage take. 
 
 8. Who will arise for my defense 
 
 Against the wicked in the land? 
 Against iniquity and wrong 
 What man for me will valiant stand? 
 
 9. Unless the Lord had been my help. 
 
 My life had quickly passed away; 
 
 But when my foot had almost slipped, 
 
 O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 
 
 10. Amid the doubts that fill my mind 
 
 Thy comforts. Lord, bring joy to me. 
 
 Can wickedness, though throned in might, 
 
 Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 
 
 11. The wicked, in their might arrayed. 
 
 Against the righteous join their power. 
 But to the Lord I flee for help; 
 He is my refuge and my tower. 
 
 12. Our God, the refuge of His saints, 
 
 Will fight against iniquity ; 
 Avenger of the innocent 
 The Lord omnipotent will be.

 Be-fore Him come with thankful song, In joy-ful psalms His praise pro-long. 
 
 
 Almighty power the Lord maintains, 
 
 Exalted over all He reigns; 
 
 He holds the valleys in His hand, 
 
 He makes the mighty mountains stand ; 
 
 To Him belong both land and sea , 
 
 Creator of the world is He. 
 
 O come and let us worship now , 
 
 Before our Maker let us bow ; 
 
 We are His sheep and He our God , 
 
 He feeds our souls in pastures broad ; 
 
 He safely leads us in the way ; 
 
 O come and heed His voice today. 
 
 Take heed and harden not your heart 
 As did your fathers, nor depart 
 From God to follow in their ways; 
 For with complaints instead of praise, 
 With doubt instead of faith confessed , 
 They put His mercy to the test. 
 
 Take heed that ye provoke Him not 
 As did your fathers, who forgot. 
 With erring heart, God's holy ways 
 And grieved Him all their sinful days; 
 To whom in wrath Jehovah sware, 
 My promised rest they shall not share.

 My heart is withered lii<e the grass, 
 
 And I forget my daily bread ; 
 In lonely grief my days I pass 
 
 And sad my thoughts upon my bed. 
 My foes reproach me all the day, 
 
 My drink is tears, my bread is grief; 
 For in Thy wrath I pine away. 
 
 My days are like a fading leaf. 
 
 The Lord has heard and answered prayer 
 
 And saved His people in distress; 
 This to the coming age declare, 
 
 That they His holy Name may bless. 
 The Lord, exalted on His throne, 
 
 Looked down from heaven with pitying eye 
 To still the lowly captive's moan 
 
 And save His people doomed to die. 
 
 3. Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure. 
 
 Thy throne forever is the same; 
 And to all generations sure 
 
 Shall be Thy great memorial Name. 
 The time for Zion's help is near, 
 
 The time appointed in Thy love; 
 O let Thy gracious aid appear. 
 
 Look Thou in mercy from above. 
 
 All men in Zion shall declare 
 
 His gracious Name with one accord, 
 When kings and nations gather there 
 
 To serve and worship God the Lord. 
 Before my journey is complete 
 
 My vigor fails, my years decline; 
 My God, O spare me, I entreat; 
 
 The days of life are wholly Thine. 
 
 O Lord, regard the prayer of those 
 
 Who love the walls of Zion well, 
 Whose hearts are heavy for her woes. 
 
 Who sad amid her ruins dwell. 
 Thy power and glory shall appear. 
 
 And Zion's walls shall be restored; 
 Then all the kings of earth shall fear 
 
 And heathen nations serve the Lord. 
 
 O cut not short my life's brief day, 
 
 O Thou Whose years eternal run, 
 Thou Who didst earth's foundations lay. 
 
 Creator of the stars and sun. 
 The earth and heavens shall pass away. 
 
 Like vesture worn and laid aside, 
 But changeless Thou shall live for aye. 
 
 Thy years forever shall abide. 
 
 Thy servants' children shall remain 
 
 Forevermore before Thy face; 
 Enduring honor they shall gain. 
 
 Established ever in Thy grace. 
 Thy servants' children shall remain 
 
 Forevermore before Thy face; 
 Enduring honor they shall gain. 
 
 Established ever in Thy grace.

 He with tender mercies crowns thee, 
 
 Satisfies thy full request, 
 So that lii<e the tireless eagle 
 
 Thou with youth renewed art blessed. 
 Righteous is the Lord in judgment 
 
 Unto all that are oppressed; 
 To His people He has ever 
 
 Made His goodness manifest. 
 
 5. 
 
 Mindful of our human frailty 
 
 Is the God in Whom we trust; 
 He, Whose years are everlasting — 
 
 He remembers we are dust. 
 Man is like the tender flower. 
 
 And his days are like the grass, 
 Withered where it lately flourished 
 
 By the blighting winds that pass. 
 
 3. 
 
 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy 
 
 And compassion for distress. 
 Slow to anger and abundant 
 
 In His grace and tenderness. 
 He will not be angry alway. 
 
 Nor will He forever chide; 
 Though we oft have sinned against Him, 
 
 Still His love and grace abide. 
 
 Changeless is Jehovah's mercy 
 
 Unto those who fear His Name, 
 From eternity abiding 
 
 To eternity the same. 
 All the faithful to His covenant 
 
 Shall behold His righteousness; 
 He will be their strength and refuge. 
 
 And their children's children bless. 
 
 4. 
 
 As the heavens are high above us. 
 
 Great His love to us has proved; 
 Far as east from west is distant, 
 
 He has all our sins removed. 
 As a father loves his children, 
 
 Feeling pity for their woes. 
 So the Lord to those who fear Him 
 
 Mercy and compassion shows. 
 
 In the heavens the Lord Almighty 
 
 Fi.xed His everlasting throne ; 
 Over all is His dominion; 
 
 He is God, and He alone. 
 Bless the Lord, ye mighty angels. 
 
 Ye that hearken to His voice. 
 All His gracious word fulfilling; 
 
 Ever bless Him and rejoice. 
 
 Bless the Lord, all ye His servants. 
 
 Ministers of God Most High; 
 Ye His hosts, that do His pleasure, 
 
 God your Maker glorify. 
 Bless the Lord, all things created; 
 
 Be His holy Name adored 
 All throughout His wide dominion. 
 
 O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

 Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion, 
 Most slow to wrath, abundant in His love; 
 
 Rich in His grace to all that humbly seek Him, 
 Boundless and endless as the heavens above. 
 
 His love is like a father's to his children, 
 Tender and kind to all who fear His name. 
 
 For well He knows our weakness and our frailty. 
 He knows that we are dust. He knows our frame. 
 
 4. 
 
 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty, 
 Like tender grass that soon will disappear; 
 
 But evermore the love of God is changeless. 
 Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. 
 
 5. 
 
 High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever, 
 His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole; 
 
 Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion; 
 Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul.

 2. He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, 
 The lightning and wind His mission perform; 
 The earth He has founded her station to keep, 
 And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 
 
 3. O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged ; 
 His voice they obeyed; the floods were assuaged. 
 Uplifting the mountains He stablished a bound, 
 Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 
 
 4. He causes the springs of water to flow. 
 
 In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below ; 
 Beside them with singing the birds greet the day, 
 And there the beasts gather their thirst to allay. 
 
 5. He waters the hills with rain from the skies, 
 And plentiful grass and herbs He supplies. 
 Supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil 
 With bread in abundance, with wine and with oil. 
 
 6. The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, 
 And over the earth their branches are spread; 
 They keep in their shelter the birds of the air; 
 The life of each creature the Lord makes His care. 
 
 7. The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine; 
 
 The slow changing moon shows forth God's design; 
 
 The sun in his circuit his Maker obeys, 
 
 And running his journey hastes not nor delays. 
 
 8. The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair, 
 The lions creep forth, God's bounty to share; 
 
 The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away 
 And men are beginning the work of the day. 
 
 9. How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord ! 
 The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored; 
 The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro. 
 And creatures unnumbered it shelters below. 
 
 10. Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food ; 
 Thy hand opens wide; they gather the good; 
 Thy face Thou concealest: in anguish they yearn; 
 Their breath Thou withholdest: to dust they return. 
 
 11. Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound; 
 The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground ; 
 To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might; 
 Let God is His creatures forever delight. 
 
 12. Before the Lord's might earth trembles and quakes; 
 The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks ; 
 The Lord I will worship through all of my days. 
 
 Yea, while I have being my God I will praise. 
 
 13. Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, 
 While sinners depart in ruin complete. 
 
 My soul, bless Jehovah, His name be adored; 
 Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord.

 Ye children of God's covenant. 
 
 Who of His grace have heard, 
 Forget not all His wondrous deeds 
 
 And judgments of His word. 
 The Lord our God is God alone; 
 
 All lands His judgments know; 
 His promise He remembers still, 
 
 While generations go. 
 
 While yet our fathers were but few, 
 
 Sojourners in the land , 
 He sware that Canaan should be theirs , 
 
 And make His covenant stand. 
 He suffered none to do them wrong 
 
 In all their pilgrim way; 
 Yea, for their sake were kings reproved 
 
 And covered with dismay. 
 
 6. 
 
 To Egypt Israel followed then , 
 
 And there grew great and strong. 
 Until their friends became their foes 
 
 And did them grievous wrong. 
 God sent His servant Moses then , 
 
 And Aaron, whom He chose; 
 Great signs and wonders they displayed 
 
 To terrify their foes. 
 
 7. 
 
 In darkness they were thaught to fear 
 
 God's great and holy Name : 
 On man and beast, on vine and field. 
 
 His awful judgment came. 
 He smote the first-born in the land. 
 
 The chief of all their strength , 
 Enriched His people with the spoil 
 
 And brought them forth at length. 
 
 His stern command restrained their foes 
 
 And filled them with alarm: 
 Touch not Mine own anointed ones . 
 
 Nor do My prophets harm. 
 He wholly broke the staff of bread 
 
 And called for famine sore, 
 And He prepared His people's way 
 
 By sending one before. 
 
 5. 
 
 Then Joseph, sold to slaverny, 
 
 With cruel chains was bound; 
 Till his prediction came to pass. 
 
 Distress and grief he found. 
 The king released him from his bonds 
 
 And made him rule the land. 
 Subjecting chiefs and senators 
 
 To his controlling hand. 
 
 He led them forth in health and strength. 
 
 None weak in all their band, 
 And Egypt, filled with fear, rejoiced 
 
 To see them leave the land. 
 He spread a cloud to cover them. 
 
 Most glorious and bright. 
 And made a fiery pillar shine 
 
 To give them light by night. 
 
 9. 
 
 At their request He sent them quails. 
 
 And bread of heaven bestowed; 
 And from the rock, to quench their thirst, 
 
 The living waters flowed. 
 His sacred word to Abraham 
 
 He kept, though waiting long. 
 And brought His chosen people forth 
 
 With joy and thankful song. 
 
 10. 
 
 The lands and toil of wicked men 
 He gave them to possess , 
 
 That they might keep His holy laws. 
 Jehovah praise and bless.

 The Lord will bless and prosper those- 
 
 Yea, blest indeed are they— 
 Whose ways are just, who constantly 
 
 His righteous law obey. 
 O Lord, remember me in grace, 
 
 Let me salvation see; 
 The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, 
 
 That grace reveal to me. 
 
 7. 
 
 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, 
 
 The promised land of Qod, 
 And tempted Him to make them fall 
 
 And scatter them abroad. 
 They sacrificed to heathen gods, 
 
 And God their sin repaid ; 
 Then holy wrath avenged the wrong. 
 
 And so the plague was stayed. 
 
 Let me behold Thy people's good 
 
 And in their joy rejoice; 
 With Thy triumphant heritage 
 
 Let me lift up my voice. 
 In evil we have gone astray, 
 
 And sinful is our race ; 
 Rebelliously our fathers walked, 
 
 Forgetful of Thy grace. 
 
 4. 
 
 Though they rebelled, yet for their help 
 
 In saving strength He came 
 To make His power almighty known 
 
 And glorify His Name. 
 He brought them safely through the sea 
 
 And overwhelmed their foes ; 
 Their faith was stirred, and for the time 
 
 Their songs of praise crose. 
 
 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, 
 
 Nor for His counsel cared; 
 He sent them leanness in their souls. 
 
 Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 
 With envy they regarded those 
 
 Whom God to them had sent; 
 The opening earth, the kindling flame. 
 
 Brought awful punishment. 
 
 6. 
 
 A golden image they adored. 
 
 And worshiped at its shrine; 
 Thus they despised the living God 
 
 And scorned His love divine. 
 Their God and Saviour they forgot. 
 
 Their helper and their stay. 
 But Moses plead the promised grace 
 
 And, turned God's wrath away. 
 
 The Lord approved the righteous act 
 
 Of him who sin abhorred, 
 And honored him forevermore 
 
 With just and great reward. 
 By wicked strife they angered God, 
 
 His wrath they did provoke; 
 And, stirred by their rebellious cries, 
 
 Their leader rashly spoke. 
 
 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods. 
 
 And by them were beguiled ; 
 The blood of children sacrificed 
 
 The very land defiled. 
 Against His own inheritance 
 
 Jehovah's wrath arose ; 
 His chosen people He condemned 
 
 To serve their heathen foes. 
 
 10. 
 
 Though from their harsh ..oppressors' hand 
 
 Ofttimes He set them free. 
 Rebellious still, they were brought low 
 
 In their iniquity. 
 When unto God they cried, He heard 
 
 And turned again His face, 
 In boundless love remembering 
 
 The covenant of His grace. 
 
 11. 
 
 He even touched their captors' hearts. 
 
 And made their very foes 
 Compassionate aud pitiful 
 
 To feel His people's woes. 
 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, 
 
 From alien lands reclaim. 
 That we may triumph in Thy praise 
 
 And bless Thy holy Name. 
 
 12. 
 
 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, 
 
 All praise to Him accord; 
 Let all the people say. Amen. 
 
 Praise ye, praise ye the Lord.

 3. 
 
 Wandering in the wilderness, 
 Far they roamed the desert way, 
 
 Found no settled dwelling-place 
 Where in peace secure to stay. 
 
 Till with thirst and hunger pressed 
 
 Courage sank within their breast. 
 
 To Jehovah then they cried 
 in their trouble, and He saved; 
 
 He Himself became their guide. 
 Led them to the rest they craved 
 
 By a pathway straight and sure. 
 
 To a city strong, secure. 
 
 5. 
 
 Sons of men, awake to praise 
 God the Lord Who reigns above,

 Hungry hearts with good supplies.

 6. 
 
 Rebels, who had dared to show 
 Proud contempt of God Most High, 
 
 Bound in iron and in woe, 
 Shades of death and darkness nigh. 
 
 Humbled low with toil and pain, 
 
 Fell, and looked for help in vain. 
 
 13. 
 
 By the billows heavenward tossed, 
 Down to dreadful depths again, 
 
 Troubled much, their courage lost, 
 Reeling, they like drunken men 
 
 Find their skill and power o'erthrown 
 
 None can save but God alone. 
 
 To Jehovah then they cried 
 In their trouble, and He saved, 
 
 Threw the prison open wide 
 Where they lay to death enslaved. 
 
 Bade the gloomy shadows flee, 
 
 Broke their bonds and set them free. 
 
 Sons of men, awake to praise 
 God the Lord Who reigns above. 
 
 Gracious in His works and ways. 
 Wondrous in redeeming love. 
 
 Iron bars He breaks like clay, 
 
 And the brazen gates give way. 
 
 14. 
 
 To Jehovah then they cry 
 In their trouble, and He saves, 
 
 Drives the darkness from the sky, 
 Calms the storm and stills the waves, 
 
 Makes their sad forebodings cease, 
 
 To their haven guides in peace. 
 
 15. 
 
 Sons of men, awake to praise 
 God the Lord Who reigns above, 
 
 Gracious in His works and ways. 
 Wondrous in redeeming love. 
 
 Praise Him where the people meet. 
 
 Praise Him in the elders' seat. 
 
 Men who walk in folly's way. 
 
 And to evil turn aside. 
 Find that sorrow will repay 
 
 Those who wisdom's laws defied: 
 Down to death's dark portals led. 
 They abhor their daily bread. 
 
 10. 
 
 To Jehovah then they cry 
 In their trouble, and He saves, 
 
 Sends compassionate reply, 
 Gives the health their spirit craves. 
 
 Rescues them with gracious aid 
 
 Frow the snares their folly laid. 
 
 16. 
 
 Springs and streams no longer bless 
 All the dry and thirsty land; 
 
 Fertile fields in verdant dress 
 God converts to desert sand; 
 
 For that they who dwell therein 
 
 Turn to wickedness and sin. 
 
 17. 
 
 Once again the waters well; 
 
 All the desert blossoms fair; 
 There He makes the hungry dwell, 
 
 There a city they prepare, 
 Plant their vines and sow their fields. 
 And the earth her increase yields. 
 
 11. 
 
 Sons of men, awake to praise 
 God the Lord Who reigns above, 
 
 ■Gracious in His works and ways, 
 Wondrous in redeeming love. 
 
 Let them all thank-offerings bring. 
 
 Celebrate His deeds, and sing. 
 
 12. 
 
 They that traffic on the sea. 
 While unceasing watch they keep. 
 
 See Jehovah's majesty 
 And His wonders in the deep; 
 
 For He bids the storm-wind fly, 
 
 Lifting ocean's waves on high. 
 
 20. 
 
 18. 
 
 Now He blesses them indeed: 
 They are greatly multiplied; 
 
 On the hills their cattle feed. 
 Fast increasing, spreading wide: 
 
 Then again ihey are brought low 
 
 Through oppression; grief, and woe. 
 
 19. 
 
 His contempt the princes taste; 
 
 Driven out they helpless fly, 
 Wandering in the trackless waste; 
 
 But He lifts the needy high. 
 Where no evil shall annoy. 
 And with children gives him joy. 
 
 When His righteous judgments come. 
 Strong to bless and to destroy. 
 
 All iniquity is dumb, 
 All the righteous sing for joy. 
 
 Who Jehovah wisely heed. 
 
 In His works His mercy read.

 Since love appeals to him in vain, 
 The slave of sin let him remain ; 
 Against him let his foe be turned, 
 His sin be judged, his prayer be spurned. 
 
 5. 
 Let sudden death upon him break, 
 His office let another take. 
 His children and his widowed wife 
 Pursue the homeless beggar's life. 
 
 6. 
 Let creditors consume his toil 
 And strangers make his wealth their spoil, 
 Let none in pity heed his claim , 
 Cut off his race, blot out his name. 
 
 7. 
 His parents' sins be not forgot 
 Till Thou from earth his memory blot. 
 Since be remembered not to show 
 Compassion to the sons of woe. 
 
 He cursing loved and blessing loathed; 
 Unblest, with cursing he is clothed; 
 For thus the justice of the Lord 
 My adversaries will reward. 
 
 9. 
 O God, the Lord, for Thy Name's sake 
 Let me of Thy good grace partake ; 
 My need is great, and great Thou art 
 To heal my wounded, stricken heart. 
 
 10. 
 With failing strength 1 fast and pine, 
 Like shadows swift my days decline , 
 And when my foes my weakness see 
 They shake the head in scorn at me. 
 
 11. 
 O Lord my God, Thy help I crave; 
 In Thy great loving-kindness save; 
 Before my foes Thy mercy show; 
 That Thou dost help me make them know. 
 
 12. 
 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless? 
 Then joy shall banish my distress, 
 And shame shall overwhelm the foes 
 Who would Thy servant's way oppose. 
 
 13. 
 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise; 
 The multitude shall hear my praise; 
 For by the needy God will stand 
 To save them from oppression's hand.

 And here my gratitude proclaim. 
 
 Since He has freed mine eyes from tears 
 
 And kept my feet from evil ways, 
 Redeemed from life's distressing fears. 
 
 With Him 1 walk, and Him I praise. 
 In my affliction and my pain, 
 
 When fears alarmed and hopes deceived, 
 I found all human helpers vain , 
 
 But in the Lord my soul believed.

 His saints the Lord delights to save. 
 
 Their death is precious in His sight; 
 He has redeemed me from the grave. 
 
 And in His service I delight. 
 With thankful heart I offer now 
 
 My gift, and call upon God's Name; 
 Before His saints I pay my vow 
 
 And here my gratitude proclaim. 
 
 6. 
 
 Within His house, the house of prayer, 
 
 I dedicate myself to God ; 
 Let all His saints His grace declare 
 
 And join to sound His praise abroad.

 Dear to the Lord are saints through all their days ; 
 And precious is their death; they have not perished : 
 His servant born, a son His handmaid cherised, 
 I , loosed from bonds by Him, His name will praise. 
 
 Yea, I the sacrifice of thanks will bring, 
 And, in the midst of thee, o Zion holy. 
 Before assembled saints, with spirit lowly. 
 Will pay my vows. Praise ye the Lord our King !

 In a large place the Lord hath set me , 
 
 In my distress He heard my cry ; 
 I will not fear; the Lord is with me, 
 
 What can man do, when God is nigh? 
 The Lord is chief among my helpers; 
 
 And I shall see my foes o'erthrown: 
 Far better than in man or princes , 
 
 My trust I place in God alone. 
 
 The nations all around me gathered 
 
 Their enemy to scorn and scoff ; 
 They compassed me about to slay me. 
 
 But in God's Name I cut them off. 
 Although like bees aroud me swarming. 
 
 They shall be quenched like thorns on fire : 
 For in God's Name I will destroy them, 
 
 And make them feel my rightful ire. 
 
 God's help appeared when foes were near me, 
 
 And sought to lay me in the dust ; 
 With songs of triumph now are ringing 
 
 The tabernacles of the just! 
 The Lord 's my strength and my salvation 
 
 The Lord is doing valiantly; 
 The Lord's right hand in battle mighty 
 
 Gives to His own the victory. 
 
 I shall not die, but live, declaring 
 
 The works of God, who tried me sore, 
 And chastened me; but in His mercy 
 
 Not unto death hath given me o'er. 
 The gates of righteousness set open, 
 
 The gate of God! — I'll enter in 
 To praise Thee Lord, who prayer hast answered, 
 
 And savedst me from all my sin. 
 
 The stone — o Lord, it is Thy doing — 
 
 The stone, the builders did despise, 
 Is made the head-stone of the corner, 
 
 And it is marvelous in our eyes. 
 This is the day, of days most glorious , 
 
 The Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing: 
 Send now prosperity, we pray Thee; 
 
 And, o our God, salvation bring! 
 
 O blessed be our King, who cometh 
 
 From God, who made the light to rise. 
 Blest in His Name! Now to the altar 
 
 With praises bind the sacrifice. 
 Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee; 
 
 I will give thanks to Thy great Name ; 
 The Lord is good, o Zion praise Him, 
 
 His mercy ever is the same!

 The Lord my Saviour is become , 
 
 He is my strength and song. 
 
 The glorious gates of righteousness 
 
 Throw open unto me , 
 And I will enter Ihem with praise , 
 
 O Lord , my God , to Thee. 
 This is Thy temple-gate, O Lord; 
 
 The just shall enter there, 
 My Saviour, I will give Thee thanks, 
 
 Thou that hearest prayer. 
 
 4. 
 
 Salvation's joyful song is heard 
 
 Where'er the righteous dwell ; 
 For them God's hand is strong to save 
 
 And doeth all things well. 
 I shall not die, but live and tell 
 
 The wonders of the Lord : 
 He hath not given my soul to death , 
 
 But chastened and restored. 
 
 6. 
 
 The stone rejected and despised 
 
 Is now the corner-stone ; 
 How wondrous are the ways of God 
 
 Unfathomed and unknown ! 
 In this the day that Thou hast made, 
 
 Triumphantly we sing; 
 Send now prosperity, O Lord , 
 
 O Lord , salvation bring. 
 
 Hosanna ! Ever blest be He 
 
 That Cometh in God's Name, 
 The blessing of Jehovah's house 
 
 Upon you we proclaim. 
 The light of joy to shine on us 
 
 The Lord our God hath made ; 
 Now be the precious sacrifice 
 
 Upon His altar laid. 
 
 Lord , my God, I praise Thy Name , 
 
 All other names above; 
 give Him thanks, for He is good. 
 
 And boundless is His love.

 For Thy word and Thy salvation , 
 Lord , my eyes with longing fail ; 
 
 Teach Thy statutes to Thy servant. 
 Let Thy mercy now prevail. 
 
 I am Thine , give me wisdom ; 
 
 Make me know Thy truth , I pray ; 
 Sinners have despised Thy statutes: 
 
 Now , O Lord , Thy power display. 
 
 Lord, I love Thy good commandments 
 And esteem them more than gold ; 
 
 All Thy precepts are most righteous : 
 Hating sin , to these I hold.

 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, 
 
 Thou hast ever loved her well : 
 This My resting-place forever, 
 
 Here, Thou sayst, 1 choose to dwell. 
 Surely I will bless and help her, 
 
 Feed her poor, her saints make glad, 
 And her priests shall stand before Me 
 
 In salvation's garments clad. 
 
 I will cause the might of David 
 
 Ever more and more to grow, 
 On the path of Mine Anointed 
 
 I will make a lamp to glow; 
 All His enemies shall perish , 
 
 I will cover them with shame, 
 But His crown shall ever flourish , 
 
 Blessed be His holy Name.

 I know that the Lord is almighty, 
 
 Supreme in dominion is He, 
 Performing His will and good pleasure 
 
 In heaven and in earth and the sea. 
 His hand guides the clouds in their courses, 
 
 His will makes the lightnings to shine; 
 The wind and the rain do His bidding, 
 
 Fulfilling His purpose divine. 
 
 To ransom His people from bondage 
 
 Great wonders and signs He displayed; 
 He smote all the first-born of Egypt, 
 
 Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed. 
 Great nations and kings that opposed Him 
 
 Were smitten by God's mighty hand; 
 Their riches He gave to His people. 
 
 And made them inherit the land. 
 
 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah, 
 
 Through all generations renowned ; 
 The Lord is the judge of His people , 
 
 His mercies forever abound. 
 Men's idols of gold and of silver 
 
 Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see; 
 Like them shall their makers be helpless 
 
 Unblest shall their worshipers be. 
 
 Ye people who worship Jehovah, 
 
 His praises with gladness proclaim ; 
 His servants, and all ye that fear Him, 
 
 Sing praise to His glorious Name. 
 O Church of our God, sing His praises. 
 
 For with you and in you He dwells 
 O sing Hallelujahs before Him, 
 
 Whose glory all praises excels.

 O Lord , I have confessed Thee 
 
 To be my God alone ; 
 O hear my supplication 
 
 And be Thy mercy shown ; 
 O God the Lord, my Saviour,

 Let not the wicked triumph

 Let evil smite the evil 
 
 And cause their overthrow ;

 Thy saints, redeemed from evil. 
 
 Their thanks to Thee shall give ; 
 The righteous and the upright

 No refuge but in Thee 1 know,

 O let the morn return, 
 
 Let mercy light my day ; 
 For Thee in faith I yearn; 
 
 O guide me in the way. 
 
 Lord , save me from my foe , 
 
 To Thee for help I flee ; 
 Teach me Thy way to know ; 
 
 I have no God but Thee. 
 By Thy good Spirit led 
 
 From trouble and distress, 
 My erring feet shall tread 
 
 The path of uprightness. 
 
 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake 
 
 Revive my fainting heart: 
 My soul from trouble take , 
 
 For just and true Thou art. 
 Remove my enemy, 
 
 My cruel foe reward ; 
 In mercy rescue me 
 
 Who am Thy servant, Lord.

 Lord, what is man, what hath he wrought. 
 The son of man. that in Thy thought 
 
 To hold him Thou shouldst deign? 
 For man is like a breath, a sigh; 
 His days on earth as quickly fly 
 
 As shadows o'er the plain. 
 
 O Thou to Whom in trust I flee , 
 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me 
 
 From all the alien throng. 
 Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, 
 Whose hand of strength against the weak 
 
 Is filled with craft and wrong. 
 
 Lord, bow Thy heavens, in might descend; 
 Touch Thou the hills, the mountains rend. 
 
 And they shall smoke and flame ; 
 As arrows send Thy lightnings out 
 To put Thine enemies to rout, 
 
 And fill Thy foes with shame. 
 
 O happy land, whose sons in youth , 
 In sturdy strength and noble truth , 
 
 Like plants in vigor spring; 
 Whose daughters fair , a queenly race 
 Are like the corner-stones that grace 
 
 The palace of a king. 
 
 Stretch forth Thy hand and rescue me 
 From trouble's dark and raging sea. 
 
 And from the alien throng. 
 Whose mouth but vanity doth speak, 
 Whose hand of strength against the weak 
 
 Is filled with craft and wrong. 
 
 O happy land , when flock and field 
 Their rich, abundant increase yield. 
 
 And blessings multiply ; 
 When plenty all thy people share, 
 And no invading foe is there , 
 
 And no distressful cry. 
 
 Now will I sing a glad new song, 
 Thy praise, God, I will prolong. 
 
 For Thou hast heart my prayer. 
 Salvation Thou dost give to kings. 
 Thine own dost keep, with sheltering wings. 
 
 From hurtful sword and snare. 
 
 O happy people, favored land, 
 
 To whom the Lord with liberal hand 
 
 Hath thus His goodness shown ; 
 Yea, surely is that people blest 
 By whom Jehovah is confessed 
 
 To be their God alone.

 To all His works His love extends , 
 
 All men His tender mercies share. 
 
 The Lord is just in all His ways, 
 
 In all His works the Lord is kind; 
 And all that call on Him in truth 
 
 In Him a present helper find. 
 He will fulfil the heart's desire 
 
 Of those that fear Him and obey; 
 Their cry the Lord will surely hear. 
 
 And He will save them when they pray. 
 
 Thy works shall give Thee thanks, Lord 
 
 Thy saints Thy mighty acts shall show, 
 Till o'er the earth the sons of men 
 
 Thy kingdom, power, and glory know. 
 Eternal is Thy kingdom, Lord, 
 
 Forever strong and ever sure; 
 While generations rise and die 
 
 Shall Thy dominion still endure. 
 
 His great salvation they shall know 
 
 Who love the Lord's most holy Name ; 
 The wicked He will overthrow 
 
 And put His enemies to shame. 
 My mouth shall speak the glorious praise 
 
 Of Him Whom heaven and earth adore. 
 Let all exalt His holy Name 
 
 Forever and forevermore.

 In princes of the earth- 
 Sons of but mortal birth — 
 
 Put not your trust. 
 Their breath flies fast away, 
 They soon return to clay, 
 Their thoughts, that very day, 
 
 Are but as dust. 
 
 He truth forever keeps. 
 His justice never sleeps 
 
 For those oppressed; 
 The sufferer's cry He heeds, 
 With bread the hungry feeds, 
 And forth the captive leads. 
 
 With freedom blessed. 
 
 But he is ever blest. 
 
 Whose help and hope all rest 
 
 In God the Lord— 
 Who hath the heavens arrayed, 
 Who earth's foundations laid. 
 And seas and all things made 
 
 By His great word. 
 
 The blinded eye He clears, 
 Lifts those bowed down in tears. 
 
 And loves His saints. 
 The stranger He befriends, 
 The fatherless defends. 
 The widow's prayer attends. 
 
 Whose lone heart faints. 
 
 6. Soon shall the wicked learn 
 How He will overturn 
 
 Their evil ways. 
 The Lord shall ever reign. 
 And still thy God remain; 
 Praise Him with joyful strain,

 demp-tion hath won, Through Je - sus our Sa-vior and Da-vid's true Son. 
 
 God spake through the prophets, the holy of old, 
 And promised redemption from foes manifold. 
 He thought of His covenant and oath that He sware— 
 That we like our fathers His mercy should share. 
 
 And this He doth grant that delivered from fear 
 We henceforth may render a service sincere: 
 That we may In holiness live to His praise, 
 And serve Him in righteousness all of our days. 
 
 And thou, promised child, shall of God the Most High 
 A prophet be called, as In ages gone by. 
 To herald Christ's advent, of whom thou shalt say- 
 Behold, the King comeih! Prepare ye his way! 
 
 Remission of sins, through the Daysprlng from heaven 
 In mercy most tender, God Thou hast given. 
 Our feet in the pathway of peace He shall guide; 
 And through the dark valley His Love shall abide.

 Dear Dr. -Benson . . • ' 
 
 Jermlt me to thank you for your acknowledgement .dated 
 Cot. SO, of the copy of the History of the Christian Reformed 
 Church. I am much Interested In your society and what it 
 
 stands for and hence it was a pleasure to me to mall you 
 the book. 
 Now about (the late)Rev.H.Vander77erp's Psalter. It is ort of 
 print and it not likely^ to be reprinted. 
 
 The book was not generally endorsed. While it contains some 
 tunes which are historically precious tc our Dutch - salm- 
 slngers, they were considered too slow by our younger element 
 and moreover there was too much repetltlon--or as I might 
 rather; put lt--too little variety of tunes. ■. 
 .Consequently, our Synod of 1914 endorsed the new U.P.Psalter 
 instead of bro. ^ander 'erp's. 
 But although out of print, I have been able to secure two copies 
 for you, which will be nailed by the ynTi^mrnm l t n i ' i. or this 
 
 city which will also send you the bill for the same.
