SELECTION 7.

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

He that slandereth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, and who honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. I have said to the Lord, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness but in thee!

The holy in the earth, and the excellent, in them is all my delight.

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my heart also admonishes me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before me because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave; neither wilt thou suffer thy beloved to see corruption.

Thou wilt show me the path of life in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for

SELECTION 8.

O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer that goeth not out of false lips.

Let me receive my sentence from thy presence; may thine eyes behold uprightness.

Prove my heart; try me,-my thoughts shall not vary from my speech.

Support my steps in thy paths, that my feet may not slip. I call upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

Show thy marvellous loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand those who put their trust in thee.

Guard me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and AMEN.

ever.

SELECTION 9.

I WILL love thee, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I trust; my buckler, and my high tower.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised.

When the waves of death compassed me, and the floods of destruction filled me with dismay;

The sorrows of the grave compassed me about: the toils of death overtook me ;

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him.

God;

He bowed the heavens also, and came down and darkness was under his feet.

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; to the upright thou showest thyself upright.

To the pure thou wilt appear pure; and to the wrathful man thou wilt appear wrathful.

For thou wilt save the afflicted, but wilt bring down the haughty countenance.

For thou causest my light to shine: the Lord my God enlighteneth my darkness.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast made a large path for my steps, so that my feet might not slip.

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people, and sing praises unto thy name.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and ΑΜΕΝ.

ever.

SELECTION 10.

THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth the work of his hands.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their sound is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

He goeth forth from one end of the heaven, and his circuit is to the other end of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the

eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, thạn much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned; and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me; then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.

SELECTION 11.

THE Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy protection, and we will triumph in the name of our God; the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

Save, Lord; O king of heaven, hear us when we call. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and AMEN.

ever.
