Who stillest the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, PRAISE waiteth for thee, O and the tumult of the people. God, in Zion: And unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. My iniquities are heavy upon me; but thou wilt forgive our transgressions. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts. Ó, satisfy us with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. By wonderful things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: Who in thy strength makest fast the mountains, being girded with power: They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are awed by thy wonders: Thou makest the regions of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: Thou preparest corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness; and the little hills rejoice on every side. resort thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. By thee have I been holden up ever since I was born; my praise shall be continually of thee. Let my mouth be filled with all the day. thy praise and with thy honor Cast me not off in the time when my strength faileth. of old age; forsake me not O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Also when I am old and My tongue also shall 'alk of gray-headed, O God, forsake thy righteousness all taie day me not; until I have showed long. thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to those that are to come. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God, Be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen. SELECTION FIFTEENTH. PSALM 84. HOW lovely are thy dwellings, O Lord of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth, for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Even the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, by thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they are still praising thee. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy ways. Passing through the valley of sorrow they make it full of fountains, and the latter rain Bow PSALM 86. OH down thine ear, O poor and needy. Preserve my soul; O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplication. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O Lord: I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: And I will glorify thy name for evermore. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O, turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God, Be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen. SELECTION SIXTEENTH. PSALM 85.
