7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to thee:

Upon me alfo mercy have,

and do thou answer me.

8 When thou didst fay, Seek ye my face, then unto thee reply

9

Thus did my heart, Above all things thy face, Lord, feek will I.

Far from me hide not thou thy face,
put not away from thee

Thy fervant in thy wrath: thou haft
an helper been to me.

O God of

my falvation,

leave me not, nor forfake.

10 Though me my parents both fhould leave,
the Lord will me uptake.

II O Lord, inftruct me in thy way,

In a plain path, because of thofe
that hatred bear to me.

12 Give me not to mine en'mies will;
for witneffes that lie,

Against me risen are, and fuch
as breathe out cruelty.

believed had, to see

The

The Lord's own goodness in the land of them that living be.

14 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong, and he shall strength afford

Unto thine heart: yea, do thou wait
I fay, upon the Lord.

PSALM

'T°

XXVIII.

O thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock,
hold not thy peace to me:

Left, like those that to pit descend,
I by thy filence be,

2 The voice hear of my humble pray'rs, when unto thee I cry:

When to thy holy oracle

I lift mine hands on high.

3 With ill men draw me not away, that work iniquity:

That speak peace to their friends, while in their hearts doth mischief lie.

4 Give them according to their deeds,
and ills endeavoured:

And as their handy-works deferve,
to them be rendered,

5 God fhall not build, but them destroy, who would not understand

The Lord's own works, nor did regard the doing of his hand.

G 2

6 For ever bleffed be the Lord, for graciously he heard The voice of my petitions, and prayers did regard.

The Lord's my ftrength and fhield, my upon him did rely:

And I am helped, hence my heart

doth joy exceedingly,

[heart

And with my fong I will him praise.
Their ftrength is God alone:
He alfo is the faving ftrength
of his anointed One.

9 O thine own people do thou fave,
bless thine inheritance:

I

Them alfo do thou feed, and them for evermore advance.

GI

IVE ye unto the Lord, ye fons,
that of the mighty be,

All strength and glory to the Lord
with cheerfulness give ye.

2 Unto the Lord the glory give, that to his name is due;

And in the beauty of holiness
unto JEHOVAH bow.

The Lord's voice on the waters is;
the God of majesty

Doth

Doth thunder, and on multitudes
of waters fitteth he.

4 A powerful voice it is, that comes
out from the Lord most high;
The voice of that great Lord is full
of glorious majesty,

5 The voice of the Eternal doth

afunder cedars tear:

Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break that Lebanon doth bear. 6 He makes them like a calf to skip, ev'n that great Lebanon, And, like to a young unicorn, the mountain Sirion.

7

God's voice divides the flames of fire:

8 The defart it doth shake:

9

The Lord doth make the wilderness

of Kadesh all to quake.

God's voice doth make the hinds to calve, it makes the foreft bare:

And in his temple ev'ry one

his glory doth declare',

10 The Lord fits on the floods: the Lord fits King, and ever shall.

11 The Lord will give his people ftrength, and with peace bless them all.

LORD, I will thee extol, for thou

And over me thou to rejoice

With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou haft healed me.

O Lord, my foul thou haft brought up,
and refcu'd from the grave:

That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didft me fave.

4 O ye

fing praise unto the Lord,

And give unto him thanks, when you

his holiness record.

5 For but a moment lafts his wrath,
life in his favour lies:
Weeping may for a night endure,
at morn doth joy arise.

6 In my prosperity, I faid,

that nothing shall me move.

7 O Lord, thou haft my mountain made
to stand strong by thy love:

But when that thou, O gracious God,
didft hide thy face from me,

Then quickly was my profp'rous state
turn'd into misery,
