PSALM XLIII.

1 Judge and defend my cause, O Lord,
'Gainst them that evil be;

From wicked and deceitful men,
O Lord deliver me.

2 For of my strength thou art the God,
Why am I put from thee?
Why walk I heavily, whilst that
My foe oppresseth me?

3 O Lord, send out thy light and truth,
And lead me with thy grace;
Which may conduct me to thy bill,
And to thy dwelling place.

4 Then shall I to thy altar go,
With joy to worship there;
And on my harp give thanks to thee,
O God, my God most dear.

PSALM LI.

1 Make new my heart within my breast, And frame it to thy holy will; And let thy spirit in me rest,

Which may my soul with comfort fill.

2 Cast me not, Lord, out from thy sight,
But speedily my torments end:
Take not from me thy Holy Spirit,
Which may from dangers me defend.

3 Restore me to those joys again, Which I was wont in thee to find; Let me thy free Spirit retain,

Which unto thee may draw my mind.

4 Thus when I shall thy mercies know,
I shall instruct others therein;
And men that are likewise brought low,
By my example shall flee sin.

PSALM LVI.

1 I glory in the word of God,
To praise it I accord

;

With joy I will declare abroad,
The promise of the Lord.

2 I Trust in God the Lord, and say,
As I before began,

The Lord he is my help and stay,
I do not care for man.

3 I will perform with heart most free,
My vows to God always;
And I, O Lord, all times to thee,
Will offer thanks and praise.

4 My soul from death thou dost defend, And keep'st my feet upright;

That I before thee may ascend,
With such as live in light.

4 These birds full nigh thy altar may
Have place to sit and sing:
O Lord of hosts, thou art alway
My only God and King.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

PSALM XCI.

1 He that within the sacred place
Of God most high doth dwell;
Under the shadow of his grace
He shall be safe and well.

2 Thou art my hope and my strong hold,
I to the Lord will say;
My God he is, in him will I

My whole affiance stay.

3 He shall defend thee from the snare, The which the hunter laid;

And from the deadly plague and care,
Whereof thou art afraid.

4 And with his wings shall cover thee, And keep thee safely there:

His faith and truth thy fence shall be,
As sure as shield and spear.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Immortal glory be,

As was, and is, and shall be still,
To all Eternity.

PSALM C.

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear; his praise forth tell;
Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,

And for his sheep he doth us take.

3 O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host ;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
