The Eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou giveft them their Meat in due Seafon. Thou openest thine Hand, and fatisfieft the Defire of every living Thing. The Lord is righteous in all his Ways, and holy in all his Works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in Truth. He will fulfil the Defire of them that fear him: He alfo will hear their Cry, and will fave them. The Lord preferveth all them that love him; but all the Wicked will he destroy. My Mouth fhall speak the Praife of the Lord: And let all Flesh bless his holy Name for ever and ever. HYMN XXIII. PRAISE ye the Lord. Praife the Lord, O my Soul. While I live, will I praife the Lord: I will fing Praifes unto my God, while I have any Being. Put not your Truft in Princes, nor in the Son of Man, in whom there is no Help. His Breath goeth forth, he returneth to his Earth; in that very Day his Thoughts perifh. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his Help, whofe Hope is in the Lord his God: Which made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and all that therein is; which keepeth Truth for ever: Which executeth Judgment for the Oppreffed, which giveth Food to the Hungry: The Lord loofeth the Prifoners, The Lord openeth the Eyes of the Blind, the Lord raifeth them that are bowed down: The Lord loveth the Righteous. The Lord preferveth the Strangers; he relieveth the Fatherlefs and Widow: But the Way of the Wicked he turneth upfide down. The Lord fhall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all Generations. Praife ye the Lord. Praise bye the Lord: for it is good to fing Praifes unto our God; for it is pleafant, and Praife is comely. Pfalm CXLVI. 1, to 10. h Pfalm CXLVII. I, to 12. The The Lord doth build up Ferufalem: He gathereth together the Out-cafts of Ifrael.. He healeth the broken in Heart, and bindeth up their Wounds. He telleth the Number of the Stars; he calleth them all by their Names. Great is our Lord, and of great Power: his Underftanding is infinite. The Lord lifteth up the Meek: He cafteth the Wicked down to the Ground. Sing unto the Lord with Thankfgiving; fing Praise upon the Harp unto our God: Who covereth the Heaven with Clouds, who prepareth Rain for the Earth, who maketh Grafs to grow upon the Mountains. He giveth to the Beast his Food, and to the young Ravens which cry. He delighteth not in the Strength of the Horfe; he taketh not Pleasure in the Legs of a Man. The Lord taketh Pleafure in them that fear him, in thofe that hope in his Mercy. Praise the Lord, O Jerufalem: Praise thy God, O Zion. HYMN XXIV. PRAISE ye the Lord.

Sing unto the Lord a new Song, and his Praife in the Congregation of Saints. Let Ifrael rejoice in him that made him; let the Children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praife his Name in the Dance; let them fing Praifes unto him with the Timbrel and Harp. For the Lord taketh Pleasure in his People; he will beautify the Meek with Salvation. Let the Saints be joyful in Glory; let them fing aloud upon their Beds. Let the high Praifes of God be in their Mouth, and a two-edged Sword in their Hand. To execute Vengeance upon the Heathen, and Punishments upon the People. To bind their Kings with Chains, and their Nobles with Fetters of Iron; To execute upon them the Judgment written; this Honour have all the Saints. Praife ye the Lord. HYMN XXV. PRAISE ye the Lord.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive Glory, and Honour and Power; for thou hast created all Things; and for thy Pleasure they are, and were created. Worthy is the Lamb that was flain, to receive Power, and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength, and Honour, and Glory, and Bleffing. I heard a great Voice of much People in Heaven, faying, ALLELUJAH; Salvation, and Glory, and Honour, and Power unto the Lord our God. Glory be to the FATHER, and to the Son, and to the HOLY GHOST. As it was in the Beginning, is now, and ever shall be; Amen. Rev. Iv. 8, 11. a Rev. V. 12. • Rev. XIX. I! |
