11 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath | made · in the earth. 12 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he | burneth the |

chariot in the fire.

13 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be ex-alted in the | earth.

14 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of | Jacob is our refuge.

PSALM XLVIII.

1 GREAT is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the | mountain · of his holiness.

2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great | King. 3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 4 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will es- |-tablish it for

ever.

5 We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy | temple. 6 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 7 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, be- | -cause of thy | judg

ments.

8 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers · there- | -of.

9 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the gene- | -ra- tion following.

10 For this God is our God for ever and ever:

1 THE mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going | down · there--of.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of | beau- · -ty, God hath shined.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous | round a--bout him.

4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that | he · may | judge · his | people.

5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is | judge him- | -self. |

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O. Israel, and I will testify against thee: I - God.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy | folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle up--on a a | thou--sand | hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the | field are | mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the | fulness · there--of.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the | blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy | VOWS un- -to the Most | High.

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt | glori- • -fy me.

16 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the ·-sal- | -vation · of | God.

PSALM LI.

1 HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lov-· -ing | kindness.

2 According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies | blot out | my trans- | -gres

sions.

3 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me | from my sin.

4 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever be- |-fore me.

5 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

6 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I | shall be | whiter than

| snow.

7 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken | may ·

re- | -joice.

8 Hide thy face from my sins, and | blot out | all mine in- | -iquities.

9 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right | spirit with- |-in me. 10 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy | ho- · -ly | spi- · -rit | from

me.

11 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free | spirit. 12 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be con- |-ver- · -ted | un- -to thee. |

13 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my sal- | -vation:

14 And my tongue shall sing a- | -loud · of | thy righteousness.

15 O LORD, Open thou my lips, and my mouth

shall shew forth thy | praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest | not in | burnt--offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a | bro- · -ken | spirit:

18 A broken and a contrite heart, O God, | thou wilt | not des- | -pise.

PSALM LXII.

1 TRULY my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my sal- | -vation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be great- ·-ly moved.

3 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from | him.

4 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

5 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, | is

in God.

6 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a | refuge for us.

7 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree | are 8 To be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. | |
