MAKE a joyful noise unto God, | all-ye | lands:
Sing forth the honour | of—his | name :
!
Make his prai-se | glorious.

Say unto God, how terrible | art—thou | inthy | works!

Through the greatness-of thy | power Shall thine enemies sub | mit-themselves | un-to thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall | sing unto thee;

They shall si-ng | to-thy | name.

Come and see the | works-of | God:

He is terrible in his doing | toward—the | children-of men.

He turned the sea | into-dry | land:
They went through the | flood-on | foot:

There did we re | joice-in | him.

He ruleth by his power-forever:
His eyes behold-the | nations:

Let not the rebellious-ex | alt-themselves.

O bless our God,-ye | people,

And make the voice of his prai-se | to-be | heard:

Which holdeth our | soul-in | life,

And suffereth | not-our ] feet-to be moved.

For thou, O God, hast | prov-ed | us :
Thou hast tried | us-as | silver-is | tried.
Thou broughtest us | into-the | net:

Thou laidst affliction-up | on-our | loins. Thou hast caused men to ride | over—our | heads :

We went through | fire-and | through |

water.

But thou broughtest-us | out

In to a wealth-y | place.

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee-my | vows,

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken,-when | I was-in | trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense-of | rams:

I will | of--fer | bullocks-with | goats.

Come and hear, all | ye that-fear | God,
And I will declare what he

my soul.

hath done for

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with-my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the | Lo-rd | will-not hear me :

But verily God-hath | heard me ;

He hath attended to the | voi-ce | of-my |

prayer.

Blessed be- | God,

Which hath not turned away my | prayer,nor his mer-cy | from me.

IN Thee, O Lord, do I | put-my | trust;
Let me never-be | put-to con | fusion :
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause |
me-to escape:

Incline thine ear-unto | me,—and | save me.

Be thou my strong-habi | tation,

Whereunto I may-con | tinually-resort:
|
Thou hast given commandment-to save me;
For thou art my | ro-ck | and--my | fortress.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the | hand ofthe wicked,

Out of the hand of the un | righteous-and | cru—el | man.

For thou art my hope, | O-Lord | God:
Thou art my tru-st from-my youth.

By thee have I been holden up | from-the | womb:

Thou art he that took me out of-my | mother's bowels.

My praise shall be continually-of | thee:
I am as a wonder unto many: but | thou art-
my strong refuge.

Let my mouth be filled with-thy | praise
And with thy | ho-nour | all-the | day.
Cast me not off in the time of-old | age;
Forsake me not when-my | strength | fail-
eth.

For mine enemies | speak-against me, And they that lay wait for my | soul-take | counsel-together,

Saying, | God-hath for | saken him;

Persecute and take him, for there is noneto deliver | him.

O God, be | not-far | from me :

O my God,-make | haste-for my help. Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to-my soul;

Let them be covered with reproach and dis | honour-that seek-my | hurt.

But I will hope-continually,

And will yet praise-thee | more-and more. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation | all-the | day;

For I know not-the | numbers-there | of. 1

I will go in the strength of the | Lo-rd | God: I will make mention of thy righteousness | even -of thi-ne only.

O God, thou hast taught me | from-my | youth; And hitherto have I declared--thy | wondrous works.

Now also, when I am | old and-grey | headed, O God-for | sake-me | not;

Until I have showed thy strength unto | thisgeneration,

-that is-to |

And thy power to every | one

come.

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done-great things:

O God, who-is | like-unto thee?
Thou, which hast showed me great and sore
troubles, shalt quicken | me-a | gain,
And shalt bring me up again-from the |
depths of the earth.

Thou shalt increase-my | greatness,
And comfort me-on | ev-ery | side.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even
thy truth, | O-my | God:

Unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou |
Ho-ly | one-of | Israel.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I | singunto thee;

And my soul-which | thou hast-re | deemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness | all the-day long:

For they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame that seek-my | hurt.

25.

GIVE the king thy | judgments,—O | God, And thy righteousness | unto-the | king's |

son.

He shall judge thy | people—with | righteous

ness,

And-thy | poor-with | judgment.
