3 Riches and wealth shall ever be
Within his house in store;
And his unspotted righteousness
Endures for evermore.

4 Unto the upright light doth rise,
Though he in darkness be:
Compassionate, and merciful,
And righteous is he.

5 A good man doth his favour shew,
And doth to others lend:
He with discretion his affairs
Will guide unto the end.

6 Surely there is not any thing
That ever shall him move:
The righteous man's memorial
Shall everlasting prove.

7 When he shall evil tidings hear,
He shall not be afraid:

His heart is fix'd, his confidence
Upon the Lord is stay'd.
8 His heart is firmly stablished,
Afraid he shall not be,

Until upon his enemies

He his desire shall see.

9 He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor; His righteousness shall be

Το

ages all; with honour shall
His horn be raised high.

10 The wicked shall it see, and fret,
His teeth gnash, melt away:
What wicked men do most desire
Shall utterly decay.

PSALM CXIII.

SING, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate, than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord-For thy Maker is thine Husband-As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, 'so shall thy God rejoice over thee;' Isa. liv.—Explained by the apostle, Gal. iv. 28, &c. Now, we brethren, as Isaac was, are children of the promise -So then, brethren, we are not children of the 'bondwoman, but of the free-Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.'-For the Lord our Redeemer, as it is written in this Psalm, now fulfilling in his mercy to the church, gathered from all nations, maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful • mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.'

1

Chant, chant aloud, O church, thy joy;
Let praise and love be thy employ ;
Thy Lord, thy Husband, makes thee shine,
And reign with him in light divine!

PRAISE

DRAISE God: ye servants of the Lord,
O praise, the Lord's name praise.

2 Yea, blessed be the name of God
From this time forth always.

3 From rising sun to where it sets,
God's name is to be prais'd.

▲ Above all nations God is high,
'Bove heav'ns his glory rais'd.

5 Unto the Lord our God that dwells
On high, who can compare?

6 Himself that humbleth things to see In heav'n and earth that are.

7 He from the dust doth raise the poor,
That very low doth lie;

And from the dunghill lifts the man
Oppress'd with poverty.

8 That he may highly him advance,
And with the princes set;
With those that of his people are
The chief, ev'n princes great.
9 The barren woman house to keep
He maketh, and to be

Of sons a mother full of joy.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

PSALM CXIV.

THE redemption of Israel from the land of Egypt, and from the house of bondage, here described, was a pledge and token of the eternal redemption of all the Israel of God from the bondage of sin, death, and hell; perfectly to be fulfilled, when all the ransomed of the Lord, in one body, shall come to Sion with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads.

As mountains, seas, and rocks, gave way,
When Jesus led his chosen race;
So sin, and death, and hell, to-day,
Fly from the brightness of his face.

1 WHEN Isr'el out of Egypt went,
And did his dwelling change,

When Jacob's house went out from those
That were of language strange,

2 He Judah did his sanctuary,

His kingdom Isr'el make:

3 The sea it saw, and quickly fled, Jordan was driven back.

4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs The hills skipp'd to and fro.

50 sea, why fledd'st thou? Jordan, back
Why wast thou driven so?

6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
That ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
That ye did leap like lambs ?

70 at the presence of the Lord,
Earth, tremble thou for fear,
While as the presence of the God
Of Jacob doth appear:

8 Who from the hard and stony rock
Did standing water bring;
And by his pow'r did turn the flint
Into a water-spring.

PSALM CXV.

PARALLEL to the song of the angels, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will 'towards men,' Luke ii. 14. and to the apostolic confession, We are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit,' (explained by the next words,) and rejoice in Christ Jesus,' (who is the Lord the Spirit, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. the only Way to the Father,) and have no confidence in the flesh;' Phil. iii. 3.

To God alone the glory be,

From whom all grace and glory spring!From ev'ry idol, now, set free,

Ye saints, to God your Saviour sing!

JOT unto us, Lord, not to us,

NOT

But do thou glory take

Unto thy name, ev n for thy truth,
And for thy mercy's sake.

20 wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God now gone?

3 But our God in the heavens is,

What pleas'd him he hath done. 4 Their idols silver are and gold,

Work of men's hands they be.

5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak ; And eyes, but do not see;

6 Ears have they, but they do not hear; Noses, but savour not;

7 Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
Nor speak they through their throat.

8 Like them their makers are, and all
On them their trust that build.
9 O Isrel, trust thou in the Lord,
He is their help and shield.

10 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
Their help and shield is he.

11 Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord, Their help and shield he'll be.

12 The Lord of us hath mindful been,
And he will bless us still:

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

13 Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
He will them surely bless.
14 The Lord will you, you and your seed,
Aye more and more increase.

15 O blessed are ye of the Lord,

Who made the earth and heav'n.

16 The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he Earth to men's sons hath giv'n.

17 The dead, nor who to silence go, God's praise do not record.

18 But henceforth we for ever will

Bless God. Praise ye the Lord,
