LOOKING UP FOR HELP.

LESSON XXVI.

LOOKING UP FOR HELP.

8

63

S. Unto thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who dwellest in the heavens:

P. As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

S. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

P. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

S. The Lord is my portion; therefore will I hope in him:

P. The Lord is good to them that wait for him; to the soul that seeketh him.

S. While I live will I praise the Lord: P. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

S. Happy is he whose hope is in the Lord his God:

P. Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is:

S. Who keepeth truth for ever:

P. Who executeth judgment for the oppressed.

S. The Lord looseth the prisoners: the
Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
P. The Lord raiseth them that are bowed
down:

S. The Lord preserveth the strangers; he
relieveth the fatherless and the widow:
P. But the way of the wicked he turneth
upside down.

S. The Lord taketh pleasure in his people;

he will beautify the meek with salvation. P. Let the saints be joyful in glory; let the high praises of God be in their mouth. S. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:

P. For his mercy endureth for ever.

LESSON XXVII.

HOPE IN TROUBLE.

S. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord:

P. Lord, hear my voice; let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

S. If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

P. But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

S. I wait for the Lord; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope:

P. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning.

S. With the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

P. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.

S. My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly :

P. I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies, for all my ways are before thee. S. Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord; give me understanding, according to thy word:

P. Let my supplication come before thee; deliver me, according to thy word.

S. My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes:

P. My tongue shall speak of thy word; for

all thy commandments are righteousness. S. Let thy hand help thee; for I have chosen thy precepts.

P. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight.

S. Let my soul live, and it shall praise

thee:

P. Let thy judgments help thee, for I do not forget thy commandments.
