IT is a good thing to give thanks | unto-the | Lord,

And to sing praises unto thy | na-me, | OMost High:

To show forth thy lovingkindness | in-the| morning,

And thy faithful-ness | ev-ery | night,

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and up| on-the psaltery;

Upon the harp-with a so-lemn | sound.
For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through-
thy work:

I will triumph | in-the | works of-thy | hands.
O Lord, how great are-thy | works!
And thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man-knoweth | not;

Neither doth a fo―ol | un-der | stand this.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when
all the workers of iniquity-do | flourish,
It is that they shall | be-de | stroyed-forever:
But th-ou, Lord,

Art most high-for | ev-er | more.

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine | enemies-shall | perish;

All the workers of iniquity | shall-be | scattered.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the | horn of— an unicorn:

I shall be anointed-with | fresh | oil.

Mine eye also shall see my desire | on-mine | enemies,

And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that | ri-se | up-against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm

tree;

He shall grow-like a | cedar-in | Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the | Lord

Shall flourish in-the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth | fruit in-old | age; They shall be | fat-and | flourishing;

To show that the Lord-is | upright: He is my rock, and there is | no-un | righteousness in him.

31.

O COME, let us sing | unto-the Lord; Let us make a joyful noise to the | rock-of our-salvation.

Let us come before his presence with | tha—nks | giving,

And make a joyful | noise-unto | him—with | psalms.

For the Lord is a-great | God,

And a great | King—a | bove—all | gods.

In his hand are the deep places-of the earth; The strength of the hills-is | hi-s | also.

The sea is his and-he | made it :

And his hands formed-the | dr―y | land.
O come, let us worship | and-bow | down:
Let us kneel be | fore—the | Lord—our | Maker.

For he is our God;

And we are the people of his pasture, and the | sheep-of | his hand.

To-day if ye will | hear his voice,
Har-den not-your heart,

As in the pro-vo | cation,

And as in the day of tempt | a-tion | in—the | wilderness :

When your fathers | tempt-ed | me,

Proved me,-and | saw-my | work.

Forty years long

Was I grieved with] this-gene | ration,—and | said,

It is a people that do | err in-their | heart,
And they have-not known-my ways:

Unto whom I sware in-my | wrath,

That they should not | en-ter | into-my | rest.

LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in | all-generations.

Before the mountains-were brought | forth,

Or ever thou hadst formed the | earth-and the | world,

Even from everlasting to ever | last-ing, thouart | God.

Thou turnest man-to de | struction;

And sayest, Re | turn,-ye children—of | men. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when-it is past,

And as a watch-in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they | are as a sleep:

In the morning they are like | grass-which | grow-eth up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and | grow-eth |

up;

In the evening | it is-cut | down,—and | withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath-are we | troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret | sins-in the light of-thy | countenance. For all our days are passed away | in--thy | wrath :

We spend our years-as a | tale that--is | told.

The days of our years are threescore | years— and [ten;

And if by reason of strength-they be fourscore years,

Yet is their strength | labour-and | sorrow; For it is soon cut | off,—and we | fly—a | way.

Who knoweth the power of-thine anger? Even according to thy | fear, so is-thy | wrath.

So teach us to number-our | days,

That we may apply our hearts-unto |

wisdom.

Return, O Lord,-how | long?

And let it repent thee-con | cerning-thy |

servants.

O satisfy us early | with-thy | mercy;

That we may rejoice and be gla-dall-our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein | thou hast-afflicted us,

And the years where | in-we | have-seen [ evil.

Let thy work appear | unto thy | servants,
And thy glo-ry | unto-their children.

And let the beauty

Of the Lord-our | God-be up on us; And establish thou the work of our | handsupon us;

Yea the work of our | hands-es | tablish-thou | it.
