1 How long wilt thou forget me, O | LORD? for- ever? 2 How long wilt thou hide thy | face, thy | face - from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my | heart | daily? 4 How long shall mine enemy be ex- alted | over | me? 5 Consider and hear me, O | LORD my | God; 6 Lighten mine eyes, lest I | sleep the | sleep of death. 7 Lest mine enemy say, I have pre- vailed..a- gainst him; 8 And those that trouble me re- joice when | I am | moved. 9 10 } But I have trusted in thy mercy, My heart shall rejoice in | thy sal- vation. Because he hath dealt | bounti..fully | with | me. [From Ps. 94.] 1 2 3 4 SELECTION 15. Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul had almost | dwelt in | silence. When I said, My foot slippeth, { In the multitude of thy thoughts within me The LORD is my defence; : And my | God..is the | rock of..my | refuge. 1 2 I love the LORD, because he hath heard Therefore will I call upon | him, as long..as I live. The sorrows of death encompassed me, 3 And the pains of hell got hold upon me: 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 I found | trouble..and | sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, de- liver..de- liver..my | soul. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous, Yea, our | God is | merciful. The Lord preserveth the simple; I was brought | low, and | he - | helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For the Lord hath dealt | bounti..fully | with thee. Mine eyes from | tears..and my | feet from | falling. SELECTION 17. What shall I render unto the LORD For all his | bene..fits | toward me? [Ps.cxvi.12-19.] And | call up..on the | name..of the | Lord. I will pay my vows unto the LORD Now, in the presence of | all his ❘ people. Is the death of | his - saints. O LORD, truly I am thy servant; 5 I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid; 6 7 Thou hast | loosed..my | bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, I will pay my vows unto the LORD Now, in the presence of all his | people. 8 In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. 2 { 3 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name: Show forth his sal- vation..from | day to | day. Declare his glory among the heathen, His wonders a- mong all | people. 4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised, He is to be | feared a- bove all | gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are idols; But the LORD..made the | heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; 6 7{ 8 9 10 { Strength and | beauty..are | in his | sanctuary. Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: Say among the heathen, that the Lord reigneth: The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: He shall | judge the | people | righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; 11 Let the sea roar, and the | fulness..there- of. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: Then shall all the trees of the wood Re-joice be- fore the LORD; 13 For he cometh, 14 For he cometh to | judge the | earth. SELECTION 19. Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous; For praise is | comely..for the | upright. Praise the Lord with harp, A men. [Ps. xxxiii.1-12.] 2 Sing unto him with the psaltery, and an | instru-ment | of ten | strings. 3 Sing unto him a new song: Play skilfully with a | loud - - | noise: 4 For the word of the LORD is right, And all his | works are | done in | truth. 5 He loveth righteousness and judgment, By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; 6 7 8 The earth is full of the | goodness.. of the | LORD. And the host of them by the | breath of | his - | mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the | world..stand in | awe of | him. For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and | it stood | fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought; 9 10 The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, 11 The thoughts of his heart to | all..gene- rations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD: 12 And the people whom he hath chosen for his own in- heri tance. |
