 and cup the portion sure ; 
 The lot that fallen is to me 
 thou dost maintain secure. 
 
 2. Unto me happily the lines 
 
 in pleasant places fell ; 
 Yea, the inheritance I have 
 in beauty doth excel. 
 
 3. I bless the Lord, because he doth 
 
 by counsel me conduct ; 
 And in the seasons of the night 
 my reins do me instruct. 
 
 4. Before me still the Lord I set : 
 
 sith it is so that he 
 Doth ever stand at my right hand, 
 1 shall not moved be. 
 
 5. Because of this my heart is glad, 
 
 and joy shall be exprest 
 Ev'n by my glory ; and my flesh 
 in confidence shall rest. 
 
 6. Because my soul unto the grave 
 
 shall not be left by thee ; 
 And thou wilt not thine Holy One 
 corruption give to sqe. 
 
 7. Thou wilt me shew the path of life : 
 
 of joys there is full store 
 Before thy face ; at thy right hand 
 are pleasures evermore.

 and doth endure for ever : 
 The judgments of the Lord are true

 to be desired are : 
 Than honey, honey from the comb 
 that droppetli, sweeter far.

 how he his life should frame : 
 A great reward provided is 
 for them that keep the same. 
 
 PSALM XXIIL

 1. The Lord's my shejjherd, I'll not want. 
 
 He makes me down to lie 
 In pastures green : he leadeth me 
 the quiet waters by. 
 
 2. My soul he doth restore again ; 
 
 and me to walk doth make 
 Within the paths of righteousness, 
 ev'n for his own name's sake. 
 
 3. Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, 
 
 yet will I fear none ill : 
 For thou art with nie ; and thy rod 
 and staff me comfort still. 
 
 5. 
 
 4. My table thou hast furnished 
 
 in presence of my foes ; 
 My head thou dost with oil anoint, 
 ^ and my cup overflows. 
 
 5. Goodness and mercy all my life 
 
 shall surely follow me : 
 And in God's house for evermore 
 my dwelling-place shall be,

 then shall I be afraid ? 
 
 2. Against me though an host encamp, 
 
 my heart yet fearless is : 
 Though war against me rise, I will 
 be confident in this. 
 
 3. One thing I of the Lord desir'd, 
 
 and will seek to obtain. 
 That all days of my life I may 
 within God's house remain ; 
 
 4. That I the beauty of the Lord 
 
 behold may and admire. 
 
 And that I in his holy place 
 
 may rev'rently enquire.

 In secret of his tent me hide, 
 and on a rock me raise.

 If that the Lord 
 
 had not our right sustaine'd, 
 When cruel men 
 
 against us furiously 
 Rose up in wrath, 
 
 to make of us their prey; 
 
 2. Then certainly 
 
 they had devour'd us all, 
 And swallow'd quick, 
 
 for ought that we could deem ; 
 Such was their rage, 
 
 as we might well esteem. 
 And as fierce floods 
 
 before them all things drown. 
 So had they brought 
 
 our soul to death quite down. 
 
 3. The raging streams, 
 
 with their proud swelling waves. 
 Had then our soul 
 
 o'erwhelmed in the deep. 
 But bless'd be God,

 us for a living prey 
 Unto their teeth,

 out of the fowler's snare 
 Escapes away,

 Who heav'n and earth

 Him therefore famous make ; 
 Yon all created were. 
 
 When he the word but spake. 
 And from that place. 
 Where fix'd you be 
 By his decree, 
 You cannot pass. 
 
 3. O let God's name be prais'd 
 
 Above both earth and sky ; 
 For he his saints hath rais'd, 
 And set their horn on high : 
 Ev'n those that be 
 Of Irs'el's race, 
 Near to his grace, 
 The Lord praise ye.
