THRICE happy he who shuns the way That leads ungodly men astray; Who fears to stand where sinners meet, 2 The law of God is his delight; 3 His works shall prosper;-he shall be 4 Not so the wicked;-they are cast 5 For God hath spied their secret path, 2 1 PSALM II. S. M. C. E WA THAT though the people rage, B 2 3 4 5 The anointed Son shall still 3 1 Zion long lov'd and own'd. All empires shall be claim'd For Him this beauteous world was fram'd, Those who resist His sway His anger shall devour; And broken, like the potter's clay, Kings! rulers! men! be wise; PSALM III. C. M. WAY LORD! when troublous billows roll, My foes exclaim against my soul- 2 Though they be many, Thou, O Lord, 3 I cry to Thee with inward voice, 4 I laid me down in peace, and slept, In strength renew'd, in safety kept, 5 He heard me from His holy hill; 6 Arise and save me, O my God! 4 PSALM IIL L. M. MONTGOMERY. 1 THE Tempter to my soul hath said, "There is no help in God for thee;" Lord, lift Thou up Thy servant's head, My glory, shield, and solace be. 2 Thus to the Lord I rais'd my cry; 3 I laid me down and slept;-I woke ; 4 I will not fear, though armed throngs Compass my steps in all their wrath; Salvation to the Lord belongs; 5 1 His presence guards His people's path. PSALM IV. C. M. WATTS LORD, Thou wilt hear me when I pray, I am for ever Thine; I fear before Thee all the day, 2 And while I rest my weary head, 3 I pay this evening sacrifice; 4 Thus with my thoughts compos'd to peace, 6 1 PSALM V. C. M. WATTS. LORD, in the morning Thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To Thee will I direct my prayer, 2 Up to the hills, where Christ is gone 3 Thou art a God before whose sight 4 But to Thy house will I resort, 5 O may Thy Spirit guide my feet |
