O come hither: and behold the works of the LORD. Psalm xlvi. I God is our hope and strength : a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved : and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea. 3 Though the waters thereof rage and swell : and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same. 4 The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God: the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest. 5 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us the God of Jacob is our refuge. 8 O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord what destruction he hath brought upon the earth. : 9 He maketh wars to cease in all the world he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire. 10 Be still, then, and know that I am God : I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.

Their sound is gone out into all lands : and their words unto the ends of the world. Psalm xix. I The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth his handywork. : 2 One day telleth another and one night certifieth another. 3 There is neither speech nor language: but their voices are heard among them. 4 Their sound is gone out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world. 5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun : which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course. 6 It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7 The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth for ever the judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold : sweeter also than honey, and the honey-comb. II Moreover, by them is thy servant taught : and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can tell how oft he offendeth : O cleanse thou me from my secret faults. 13 Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart : be alway acceptable in thy sight. 15 O Lord my strength, and my Redeemer. Glory be to the FATHER, &C. |
