O my soul, thou hast SAID un- |-to the Lord: || Thou art my GoD, my | goods are nothing unto thee. 3. All my delight is upon the saints, that ARE | inthe | earth: || and upon SUCH | ex--cel in virtue. as 5. Their drink-offerings of BLOOD will | I not | offer : || neither make mention of their names with- |-in my lips. 6. The Lord himself is the portion of mine inheri-TANCE, AND of my | cup: || THOU shalt main- | -tain my | lot. 7. The lot is fallen unto ME | in a fair | ground: || YEA, I | have a good--ly | heritage. 8. I will thank the LORD for giving me warning: || my reins al-so | chasten me | IN the night | season. 10. Wherefore my heart was glad, AND my | glory re- | -joiced: || my FLESH | also shall rest in hope. 11. For why? thou shalt not LEAVE my soul in hell || neither shalt thou suffer thy Ho-ly | One to see cor- | -ruption. 12. Thou shalt shew me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness joy: || and at thy right hand THERE is | pleasure for | ev- -er more. Swell Diaps. Gt. 0. D. 3. Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season; thou hast tried me, and shalt FIND no wicked- -ness in me: || for I am utterly purposed THAT my mouth shall not of- | -fend. 4. Because of men's works that are done a-GAINST the | WORDS of thy | lips: || I have kept me FROM the ways OF the de- | -stroyer. 5. O hold thou up my go-INGS | in thy | paths: || THAT | -·my | foot- · -steps | slip not. 6. I have called upon thee, O GOD, for | thou shalt | hear me : || incline thine ear to ME, and hearken un- | -to my words. 7. Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of THEM which | put their trust | in thee: || FROM | such as re- | -sist thy right | hand. 8. Keep me as the ap-PLE | of of thy wings. 9. From the UN an eye: || hide me un-DER the | sha- -dow -godly that trouble me : || mine enemies compass me round a-BOUT to take a--way my soul. 10. They are inclos-ED in their own | fat: || AND | their mouth | speaketh · proud things. 11. They lie waiting in our way on | eve- -ry | side: || turn-ING | their DOWN to the ground; eyes | 12. Like as a lion that is GREE-dy | of his | prey: || and as it were a lion's WHELP, | lurking in se- -cret places. · | · 13. Up, Lord, disappoint HIM, and | cast him | down : || deliver my soul from the ungod-LY, which is a sword of | thine; 14. From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I say, aud FROM the e- • -vil | world : || which have their portion in this life, whose bel-LIES thou | fillest with thy hid | treasure. Sw. Prin.

But as for me, I will be-HOLD thy | presence in | righteousness: || and when I awake up after thy like-NESS, 1 | shall be | satis-· -fied with it. 1. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength; the Lord is my stoney ROCK, and | de- |-fence; || my Saviour, my God, and my might, buckler, the horn also of MY sal- | -va-· -tion, and my my in whom I will trust; my refuge. 2. I will call upon the Lord, which is wor-thy | to be praised: || so shall | I be SAFE from mine enemies. 6. So shall he hear my voice out of his | ho- -ly temple | and my complaint shall come before him, IT shall | enter even | into his ears. 7. The EARTH | trembled and quaked: || the very foundations also of the hills shook, and WERE re- |-moved, be- | -cause he was wroth. 8. There went a SMOKE | out in his presence: | and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that | coals were | kin--dled | at it. 9. He bowed the heavens al-so, | and came | down: || AND it was dark | under his feet. Gt.O.D. S.H. Gt. O. D. Sw. Diaps. Sw. Prin. Crescendo. Do. Hautboy 10. He rode upon the cheru-BIMS, | and did | fly: || he came fly-ING up- |-on the wings of the wind. 11. He made dark-NESS his | se- -cret place || his pavilion round about him with dark wa-TER, | and thick | clouds to cover him.= 12. At the brightness of his pre-SENCE his | clouds re- |-moved: || HAIL- 1 -stones and coals of | fire. 13. The Lord also thundered out of heaven, and the HIGH-est gave thunder: || HAIL- |-stones and | coals of | fire. 14. He sent out his his arrows, and scattered them: || he CAST forth | light- · -nings, | AND · de- | -stroyed them. 15. The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered, AT thy | chiding, O Lord: || at the blasting of the | breath · of | thy dis--pleasure.= 16. He shall send down FROM on | high to fetch me: || and shall TAKE me | out of ma 17. He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, AND from | them hate me : || FOR they are too | migh--ty | for me. 18. They prevented me IN the day of my trouble: || BUT the | Lord was my up--holder. 19.
