1 How long wilt thou forget me, O | LORD? for- ever?

2 How long wilt thou hide thy | face, thy | face - from me?

[blocks in formation]

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.

But I have trusted in thy mercy,

My heart shall rejoice in | thy sal- vation.
I will sing unto the Lord,

Because he hath dealt | bounti..fully | with | me.

Unless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had almost | dwelt in | silence.

When I said, My foot slippeth,

{
Thy mercy, O | LORD, held | - me | up.

In the multitude of thy thoughts within me
Thy comforts de- light my | soul.

The LORD is my defence;

:

And my | God..is the | rock of..my | refuge.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard
My voice, and my | sup-pli- cations.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,

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:

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.
For thou hast preserved my soul from death,

Mine eyes from | tears..and my | feet from | falling.

What shall I render unto the LORD

For all his | bene..fits | toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation,

[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.
Precious in the sight of the LORD

Is the death of | his - saints.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant;

5 I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid;

Thou hast | loosed..my | bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will | call up..on the | name.. of the | LORD

I will pay my vows unto the LORD

Now, in the presence of all his | people.
In the courts of the LORD's house,

8 In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
| Praise - | ye the | LORD.

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;

Strength and | beauty..are | in his | sanctuary.

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people,
Give unto the LORD | glory..and | strength:
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name;
Bring an
offering, and | come in- to his | courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
Fear before him, ❘ all the | earth.

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;

For he cometh,

14

For he cometh to | judge the | earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the | people | with his | truth.

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.

He loveth righteousness and judgment,

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made;

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:
He layeth up the | depth in | storehouses.

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;
He maketh the devices of the | people..of | none ef- fect.

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.
