10 Her riggs thou water'st plenteously,
Her furrows settlest :

With show'rs thou dost her molify,
Her spring by thee is blest.

11 So thou the year most lib'rally
Dost with thy goodness crown;
And all thy paths abundantly
On us drop fatness down.
12 They drop upon the pastures wide,
That do in deserts lie;

The little hills on ev'ry side
Rejoice right pleasantly.

13 With flocks the pastures clothed be,
The vales with corn are clad;
And now they shout and sing to thee,
For thou hast made them glad.

O glory, glory, glory sing

Unto the Lord our God alone!
Our God, our Glory is our King!

We'll join the praises of THE SON:
THE SON OF GOD conducts our song!
He leads us on to heav'nly joy:
Through floods and flames we'll sing along
And praise shall be our sole employ.

ALL lands to God, in joyful sounds
Aloft your voices raise.

2. Sing forth the honour of his name, And glorious make his praise.

* Prose Psalms of the Bible.

3 Say unto God, How terrible In all thy works art thou!

Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee
Shall be constrain'd to bow.

4 All on the earth shall worship thee,
They shall thy praise proclaim

In songs they shall sing cheerfully
Unto thy holy name.

5 Come, and the works that God hath wrought With admiration see:

In's working to the sons of men

Most terrible is he.

6 Into dry land the sea he turn'd,
And they a passage had:

Ev'n marching through the flood on foot,
There we in him were glad.

7 He ruleth ever by his pow'r :
His eyes the nations see:
O let not the rebellious ones
Lift themselves on high

up

8 Ye people, bless our God; aloud The voice speak of his praise:

9 Our soul in life who safe preserves, Our foot from sliding stays.

10 For thou did'st prove and try us, Lord, As men do silver try:

11 Brought'st us into the net, and mad'st Bands on our loins to lie.

12 Thou hast caus'd men ride o'er our heads; And though that we did pass

Through fire and water, yet thou brought'st
Us to a wealthy place.

13 I'll bring burnt-off'rings to thy house;
To thee my vows I'll pay,

14 Which my lips utter'd, my mouth spake, When trouble on me lay.

15 Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams
With incence I will bring;

Of bullocks and of goats I will
Present an offering.

16 All that fear God, come, hear, I'll tell
What he did for my soul..
17 I with my mouth unto him cry'd,
My tongue did him extol.

18 If in my heart I sin regard,

The Lord me will not hear: 19 But surely God me heard, and to My prayer's voice gave ear.

20 O let the Lord, our gracious God,
For ever blessed be,

Who turned not my pray'r from him,
Nor yet his grace from me.

PSALM LXVII.

SIMILAR to the last two and the following one; spoken by the Messiah, and expressive of the glory following, and overflowing all the world with everlasting light, joy, and praise, in consequence of his own meritorious, sin-atoning, and death-destroying passion and death, accomplished at Jerusalem without the gates, whither all his people must follow him, bearing his reproach. and counting it all joy to suffer for his name.

Spread, spread the joyful news abroad;
Let all the world re-echoing ring ;
Let all the earth resound to God

The lofty praises of her King!
The Lord, the witness, is the Judge;
He judges by the joyful news-
His gospel-which his pow'r shall lodge
In hearts of Gentiles, and of Jews.

3

ORD, bless and pity us,
Shine on us with thy face:

2 That th` earth thy way, and nations all
May know thy saving grace.
Let people praise thee, Lord;
Let people all thee praise.
4 O let the nations be glad,
In songs their voices raise:

Thou'lt justly people judge,
On earth rule nations all.

5 Let people praise thee Lord; let them
Praise thee, both great and small,
The earth her fruit shall yield, '
Our God shall blessing send.

6

7 God shall us bless; men shall him fear Unto earth's utmost end.

L

Another of the same.

ORD, unto us be merciful,
Do thou us also bless;

And graciously cause shine on us
The brightness of thy face:
2 That so thy way upon the earth
To all men may be known;
Also among the nations all
Thy saving health be shown.

30 let the people praise thee, Lord`;
Let people all thee praise.

40 let the nations be glad,

And sing for joy always:

For rightly thou shalt people judge,
And nations rule on earth.

5 Let people praise thee, Lord; let all
The folk praise thee with mirth.

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase, God, our God, bless us shall.

7 God shall us bless; and of the earth The ends shall fear him all.

PSALM LXVIII

A song of triumph, prophetic and descriptive of the resurrection, ascension, and following glory of the Lord Jesus Christ; as appears from ver. 18. Thou hast ascended on high; thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts for men,' fc. interpreted, Ephes. iv. 8. Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity f captive, and gave gifts unto men,' &c.

Lo, light and glory from the grave
Of Jesus Christ arising spring,
That we might life eternal have,

And mount to heav'n upon his wing:
Ascended he most gloriously,

Triumphing over death and hell;
Receiving gifts from God on high;

That God the Lord with us might dwell !

LET God arise, and scattered

Let all his en'mies be;

And let all those that do him hate
Before his presence flee.

2 As smoke is driv'n, so drive thou them;
As fire melts wax away,
Before God's face let wicked men

So perish and decay.

3 But let the righteous be glad:
Let them before God's sight
Be very joyful; yea, let them
Rejoice with all their might.

4 To God sing, to his name sing praise;
Extol him with your voice,
