O Lord, my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. DURING THE SECOND CIRCUIT. (Vu3m XT.ni.) Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength ; why dost thou cast me off ?^ why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ? O send out thy light and thy truth ; let them lead me ; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Unless the Lord do build the house, in vain labour they that build it ou it: unless the Lord guard the city, in vain is the watchman wakeful. It is in vain for you to be earlv in rising, to be late in sitting up, eating the bread of painful toils ; (for) so duth he give unto his beloved during sleep. Lo, children are an inheritance from the Lord: a reward is the fruit of the body. Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. Happy is the man that bath his quiver filled with them: they shall not be put to shame, when they do speak with the enemies in the gate. i DURING THE FIFTH CIRCUIT. (PMlm CXYU.) O praise the Lord, all ye nations : praise him all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us : and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. DURING THE SIXTH CIRCUIT. (PMlm CXXZ.) A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord hear my voice : let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand ? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that #atch for the morning: I say more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in theLCid: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquiteis. — 10 — n » V 3 ^ n h E) p n .n"3 D-bnn T T T h ^V "IIDID • t; T ******** T'liii T** ^ • — ■• I** rlT 't* It * T* ^ ' T : V • • •• v: •• I T T : t; •• •• t t : : rbo 3"pj?: TpyD ^p^y? «D^i ably '•nns =)^t:^3m OD'-i^^^^n i onyii^ ^^v' ub)v ^nns * 1^5t:^1 " uymi i onyc^ iy t^ : nonSo T : t: t - Iv V V *. t - r.^ v t: : rbo ilDsn tod ^^n TV T - !'.• V The ark is opened aad the Miuister and Choristers chant : i^Dji ;^.

Praise God in his sanctuary ; praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts : praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him with psaltery and harp." Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise hmi with stringed instruments and organs.

It is incumbent upon us to praise the Lord of all ; to magnify the Creator of the beginning: for he hath not made us like unto nations of other countries, nor disposed of us in the manner of other families of the earth; neither hath he appointed our portion like unto theirs, nor our lot like all their multitude. For we bend the knee, worship, and make our acknowledg- ments to the presence of the supreme King of Kings! the holy and blessed Being ; he who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, the throne of whose glory is in the heavens above, and the residence of whose might is in the celestial heights. He is our God, and there is no other. Our King is truth, and there is none besides bim ; as it is written in his law, "Know, therefore, this day, and reflect in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath: there is none else." We will, therefore, place our hope in thee, O Lord, our God! speedily to behold thy glorious power; removing the abomin- ations out of the earth, and causing all the idols to be utterly destroyed, that the universe may be established under the Al- mighty government; all flesh invoke thy name, and all the wicked of the earth turn unto thee : then shall all the in- ). ^ H ^ *T)^ ^3 ynDH 71^-^2 .^DH ^'Dtt^r b 1J?T1 .n''3'' ?1 >>^ nD>??n ^5 . -lyi D^ir'^ nnnp an^^y. ^i^pni • ?in-]lra '3^023 nlDDs T]6pn -ly ^pbiy^i .n^i b2 bv Tj'^D^ ;; n;ni -)dn:i nyj D^iy^ Tjbp:, ;^ LiiaN toc^^i nn^< ^^ mT*«^nn DVD vn^^ri T ••• : T V t: V ; • - - ) vt t : ^^"ipj i^v^ ^?

For the kingdom is thine, and in eternal glory wilt thou reign ; as it is written in thy law, 'The Lord shall reign for ever and ever." And it is also expressed, "And the Lord simil be King over all the earth," on that day will it be acknowledged that the Lord is One, "and his name One," Universal Lord ! who the Sceptre swayed , Ere creations first wond'rous form was framed 1 When by his will divine, all things were made.
