7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted a- |-way.

8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast found--ed | for

them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to | cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys,

which runa

-mong the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses | quench their thirst. | 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which | sing · a- | -mong the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the | fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he

may bring forth | food out of the | earth:

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth | man's| heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which | he hath - | planted;

63

17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir-trees are | her - house. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the | conies.

|

19 He appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his go- -ing | down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest · do | creep forth. |

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their

| dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour un--til the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

PART SECOND.

1 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy | riches.

2 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small

⚫ and great

beasts.

64

3 There go the ships: there is whom thou hast made to

-in.

4 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their | meat in | due - | sea

son.

5 That thou givest them, they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 6 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and re- |-turn to their | dust.

7 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the | face of the | earth.

8 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall re- |-joice in his -| works.

9 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and

they | smoke. 10 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I

| have my being.

11 My meditation of | him shall be sweet: 12 I will be glad in the LORD.

PSALM CVII.

1 O GIVE thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy en- |-dureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the | hand - | of· the enemy;

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to | dwell Tin.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul | faint-· -ed |

in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them | out of | their dis--tresses.

7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of hab--|-tation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children | of· men!

9 For he satisfieth the | long-· -ing | soul, 10 And filleth the hun- -gry | soul with | goodness.

SECOND PART.

1 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

2 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his | works with re- |-joicing.

3 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in | great

waters; 4 These see the works of the LORD, and his | won--ders in the | deep.

5 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves there

-of.

6 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted · be- |-cause of | trouble.

7 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's |

end.

8 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their dis- |-tresses.

9 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves there- |-of are | still.

10 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them un- | -to their de-sir- · -ed | haven.

11 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

12 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the as- | -sem- · -bly | of the elders.

13 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs | into dry | ground;

14 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell there- |

-in.
