2 The wonders He for me has wrought
Shall fill my mouth with songs of praise;
And others, to His worship brought,
To hopes of like deliv'rance raise.

PSALM XLI. (c. M.)

1 HAPPY the man, whose tender care
Relieves the poor distress'd;
When troubles compass him around,
The LORD shall give him rest.

2 The LORD his life, with blessings crown'd,
In safety shall prolong;
And disappoint the will of those
That seek to do him wrong.

3 Let therefore Israel's Lord and God
From age to age be blest;
And all the people's glad applause
With loud Amens exprest.

PSALM XLII. (c. M.)

1 As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chace,

So longs my soul, O God, for Thee
And Thy refreshing grace.

2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;

O! when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou Majesty Divine?

PSALM XLIV. (c. M.)

THIRD PART.

1 AWAKE, arise; let seeming sleep
No longer Thee detain;

Nor let us, LORD, who sue to Thee,
For ever sue in vain.

2 Arise, O LORD, and timely haste
To our deliv'rance make:

Redeem us, LORD; if not for our's,
Yet for Thy mercy's sake.

PSALM XLVI. (P.M.)

1 God is our refuge in distress;
A present help when dangers press:
In Him, undaunted, we'll confide
Tho' earth were from her centre tost,
And mountains in the ocean lost,

Torn piece-meal by the roaring tide.

2 A gentler stream with gladness still
The city of our LORD shall fill,

The royal seat of God most high.
God dwells in Sion, whose fair tow'rs
Shall mock th' assaults of earthly pow'rs,
While His Almighty aid is nigh.

PSALM XLVII. (L.M.)

10 ALL ye people clap your hands,
And with triumphant voices sing,
No force the mighty pow'r withstands
Of God the Universal King.

2 God is gone up, our LORD and King, With shouts of joy and trumpets' sound: To Him repeated praises sing,

And let the cheerful song go round.

3 Your utmost skill in praise be shown
For Him who all the world commands,
Who sits upon his righteous throne,
And spreads His sway o'er all the lands.

PSALM L. (P. M.)

1 THE LORD hath spoke; the mighty God
Hath sent his summons all abroad,

From dawning light till day declines:
The list'ning earth His voice hath heard,
And He from Sion hath appear'd

Where beauty in perfection shines.

2 Our God shall come, and keep no more Misconstru'd silence, as before;

But wasting flames before Him send: Around shall tempests fiercely rage, While He does heav'n and earth engage His just tribunal to attend.

PSALM LI. (S. M.)

FIRST PART.

1 HAVE mercy, LORD, on me,
As thou were ever kind;

Let me, oppress'd with loads of guilt,
Thy wonted mercy find.

2 Wash off my foul offence,

And cleanse me from my sin;
For I confess my crime, and see
How great my guilt has been.

3 Blot out my crying sins,
Nor me in anger view;

Create in me a heart that's clean,
An upright mind renew.

SECOND PART.

1 WITHDRAW not Thou Thy help,
Nor cast me from Thy sight;
Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take
Its everlasting flight.

2 The joy Thy favour gives
Let me again obtain !

And let Thy Spirit's firm support
My fainting soul sustain :

3 My guilt of blood remove,

My Saviour and my God:
And my glad tongue shall loudly tell
Thy righteous acts abroad.

PSALM LV. (C.M.)

1 GIVE ear, Thou Judge of all the earth, And listen when I pray;

Nor from Thy humble suppliant turn
Thy glorious face away.

2 For I will call on God, who still
Shall in my aid appear:

At morn, and noon, and night I'll pray,
And He my voice shall hear.

PSALM LVII. (L.M.)

FIRST PART.

1 O GOD, my heart is fixed, 'tis bent, Its thankful tribute to present;

And with my heart my voice I'll raise
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.

2 Be Thou, O God, exalted high;
And, as Thy glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth display'd,
Till Thou art here as there obey'd.

SECOND PART.

1 AWAKE, my glory; harp and lute,
No longer let your strings be mute;
And I, my tuneful part to take,
Will with the early dawn awake;

2 Thy praises, Lord, I will resound
To all the list'ning nations round;
Thy mercy highest heav'n transcends,
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.

3 Be Thou, O God, exalted high;
And, as Thy glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth display'd,
Till Thou art here as there obey'd.
