PSALM 28. L. M. Prayer and praise, for deliverance from Enemies. Lest, like the sons of guilt become, With hopeless wretches to the tomb. 3 Oh save my soul from shame and sin; Where harden'd wretches swift decline Down the broad way to endless woe. 4 While peace their flatt'ring lips proclaim, And love profess, and hope impart ; They blast their neighbour's honest fame, And wing their arrows to his heart. 5 But, while they plant the secret snare, Thy searching eyes their path regard : Thy hands their dreadful doom prepare, And mete their guilt its just reward. 6 Because their hearts thy works despise, 8 In the dark hour of deep distress, My foes beset, of death afraid; 9 O blest Redeemer, great and kind! 1 GIV PSALM 29. L. M. Storm and Thunder. 1; IVE to the Lord, ye sons of fame, 2 The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud, His voice divides the wat❜ry cloud, 6 In gentler language there the Lord זי PSALM 30. L. M. Sickness healed. WILL extol thee, Lord, on high, At thý command diseases fly : Who, but a God, can speak, and save. From the dark borders of the grave? 2 Sing to the Lord, ye saints of his, And tell how large his goodness is; Let all your pow'rs rejoice and bless, While you record his holiness. 3 His anger but a moment stays; His love is life and length of days: Tho' grief and tears the night employ,. The morning-star restores the joy. 4 Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I presum'd 'twould ne'er be night : Fondly I said within my heart, "Pleasure and peace shall ne'er depart." 5 But I forgot thine arm was strong, Which made my mountain stand so long; Soon as thy face began to hide, My health was gone, my comforts died. 6 I cried aloud to thee, my God: "What can'st thou profit by my blood? "Deep in the dust can I declare "Thy truth, or sing thy glories there? 7 "Hear me, O God of grace," I said, "And bring me from among the dead :" Thy word rebuk'd the pains I felt ; Thy pard'ning love remov'd my guilt. 1 PSALM 31. Third Part. L. M. HT mark the mercies of thy hand! How many pray'rs have reach'd thy throne! How often has thy grace been shown! 2 When sorrows rise and pains prevail, Or angry foes my peace assail; When dangers thicken all around; In thee alone my help is found. 3 Thro' all the road, each day, each hour, Some new complaint, some painful case, 1 PSALM 32. First Part. L. M. Justification and sanctification. BLEST is the man, for ever blest, Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God; Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd, And cover'd with his Saviour's blood. 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord, Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward, And, not on works, but grace, relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free; His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree ; 1 PSALM 32. Second Part. L. M. WHILE I keep silence and conceal My heavy guilt within my heart, What torments doth my conscience feel! 2 I spread my sins before the Lord, Works of creation and providence. 1 REJOICE, ye righteous, in the Lord; This work belongs to you: Sing of his name, his ways, his word, 2 His mercy and his righteousness |
