Or son of man, that thou of him
So great account dost make?
-4 Man is like vanity; his days,
As shadows, pass away.

5 Lord, bow thy heav'ns, come down, touch thou The hills, and smoke shall they.

6 Cast forth thy lightning, scatter them;
Thine arrows shoot, them rout.

7 Thine hand send from above, me save;
From great depths draw me out;
And from the hand of children strange.
Whose mouth speaks vanity;
And their right hand is a right hand
That works deceitfully.

8

9 A new song I to thee will sing,
Lord, on a psaltery;

I on a ten-string'd instrument
Will praises sing to thee.

10 Ev'n he it is that unto kings
Salvation doth send;

Who his own servant David doth
From hurtful sword defend.

11 O free me from strange children's hand,
Whose mouth speaks vanity;

And their right hand a right hand is
That works deceitfully.

12 That as the plants, our sons may be
In youth grown up that are;
Our daughters like to corner-stones,
Carv'd like a palace fair.

13 That to afford all kind of store
Our garners may be fill'd;

That our sheep thousands, in our streets
Ten thousands they may yieid;

14 That strong our oxen be for work,
That no in breaking be,

Nor going out; and that our streets
May from complaints be free.

15 Those people blessed are who be
In such a case as this;
Yea, blessed all those people are,
Whose God JEHOVAH is.

PSALM CXLV.

MESSIAH glorified, sings to God with all his saints around. See Psal. civ. cviii. &c.

1

The triumph of the Son of God,
Who gloriously triumphant rode,
In chariots of salvation grand,
Victorious o'er the hellish band,
Ascribing to his Father's praise
The glory of his Father's ways,
And teaching all his saints along,
To join him in his joyful song.

I'LL

'LL thee extol, my God, O King;
I'll bless thy name always.

2 Thee will I bless each day, and will
Thy name for ever praise..

3 Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd;
His greatness search exceeds.
4 Race unto race shall praise thy works,
And shew thy mighty deeds.

5 I of thy glorious majesty

The honour will record;

I'll speak of all thy mighty works,
Which wondrous are, O Lord.

6 Men of thine acts the might shall show,
Thine acts that dreadful are;'

And I thy glory to advance,
Thy greatness will declare.

7 The mem'ry of thy goodness great
They largely shall express;

With songs of praise they shall extol
Thy perfect righteousness.

8 The Lord is very gracious,
In him compassions flow;
In mercy he is very great,
And is to anger slow.

9 The Lord JEHOVAH unto all
His goodness doth declare,

And over all his other works

His tender mercies are.

10 Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord,
And thee thy saints shall bless;
11 They shall thy kingdom's glory show,
Thy pow'r by speech express:

12 To make the sons of men
men to know
His acts done mightily,

And of his kingdom th' excellent
And glorious majesty.

13 Thy kingdom shall for ever stand,
Thy reign through ages all.

14 God raiseth all that are bow'd down, Upholdeth all that fall.

15 The eyes of all things wait on thee, The giver of all good;

And thou in time convenient, HOW YAT

Bestow'st on them their food: 16 Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally, And of thy bounty gives

In truth that on him call.tola-qmoɔ

19 He will accomplish the desire Of those that do him fear: He also will deliver them,

And he their cry will hear.

20 The Lord preserves all who him love,
That nought can them annoy:
But he all those that wicked are
Will utterly destroy.

21 My mouth the praises of the Lord
To publish cease shall never
Let all flesh bless his holy name.
For ever and for ever.

Another of the same.

LORD, thou art my God and King,
Thee will I magnify and praise

I will thee bless, and gladly sing
Unto thy holy name always.

2 Each day I rise I will thee bless,"
And praise thy

name time without end. 3 Much to be prais'd, and great God is; His greatness none can comprehend.

4 Race shall thy works praise unto race,
The mighty acts show done by thee.
5 I will speak of the glorious grace,
And honour of thy majesty:
adT
Thy wondrous works I will record.
6 By men the might shall be extoll'd
Of all thy dreadful acts, O Lord;
And I thy greatness will unfold.

7 They utter shall abundantly ot dyre
The mem'ry of thy goodness great :
And shall sing praises cheerfully, I
Whilst they thy righteousness relate.
8 The Lord our God is graciousToS
Compassionate is he also dis

In mercy he is plenteous,

But unto wrath and anger slow,

9 Good unto all men is the Lord; O'er all his works his mercy is. 10 Thy works all praise to thee afford; Thy saints, O Lord, thy name shall bless. 11 The glory of thy kingdom show

Shall they, and of thy power tell:

12 That so men's sons his deeds may know, His kingdom's grace that doth excel.

13 Thy kingdom hath none end at all,
It doth through ages all remain.
14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
The cast-down raiseth up again.
15 The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,
And on thee wait that here do live,
And thou, in season due, dost send
Sufficient food them to relieve.

16 Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,
And ev'ry thing dost satisfy

That lives, and doth on earth abide,
Of thy great liberality.

17 The Lord is just in his ways all,
And holy in his works each one.
18 He's near to all that on him call,
Who call in truth on him alone.

19 God will the just desire fulfil

Of such as do him fear and dread:
Their cry regard, and hear he will,
And save them in the time of need.
20 The Lord preserves all, more and less,
That bear to him a loving heart :
But workers all of wickedness
Destroy will he, and clean subvert.
