God is in His holy temple In the pure and holy mind; In the reverent heart and simple j In the soul from sense refined. Then let every low emotion Banished far and silent be. And our souls, in pure devotion, Lord, be temples worthy Thee. FATHER, HEAR THE PRAYER. Father, hear the prayer we offer ! Not for ease that prayer shall be, But for strength that we may ever Live our lives courageously. Not for ever by still waters Would we idly quiet stay, But would smite the living fountains From the rocks along our way. Be our strength in hours of weakness. In our wanderings be our guide ; Through endeavor, failure, danger. Father, be Thou at our side! S9 HYMNS YEARNING FOR GOD. How lovely are Thy dwellings fair, O Lord of Hosts, how dear, The pleasant tabernacles are Where Thou dost dwell so near. My soul doth long, yea, even faint, Thy courts, O Lord, to see; My heart and flesh are crying out, O living God, for Thee. Behold, the sparrow findeth out A house wherein to rest; The swallow also for herself Hath found a peaceful nest. Blest all who dwell within Thy house. They ever give Thee praise; And blest the man whose strength Thou art. In whose heart are Thy ways. GOD OF OUR FATHERS. God of our fathers ! in whose sight The thousand years that sweep away Man and the traces of his might. Are like the break and close of day.

Thy mercy may be given, That we may find most blissful rest Eternally in heaven. THOU SHALT REST.

Teach us the divine behest: Thou shalt rest. HYMNS HOLY SABBATH-REST. Holy Sabbath-rest! Pious lips hail thy advent; With thee God His love hath sent. Mind and heart of man to guard. And to lead him heavenward. Holy Sabbath-joy! O ! our yearning soul inspire ; Warm us with thy heavenly fire, That in sacred hymns of praise We to God our hearts upraise. Father Everlasting! From Thy holy throne of grace To Thy children turn Thy face; Bless this day — preferred by Thee — Emblem of eternity. GOD EVER GLORIOUS. God ever glorious, Sov'reign of nations, Waving the banner of peace o'er our land, Thine is the victory, Thine the salvation, Strong to deliver, own we Thy hand. Still may Thy blessing rest. Father most holy, Over each mountain, rock, river and shore, Sing hallelujah, shout in hosannas, God keep our country free evermore. 57 ANTHEMS 56 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy; long suf- f'ring and of great goodness. He will not always be chiding, neither keepeth His anger forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor re- warded ut: according to our wickedness. For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth, So great is His mercy also toward them that fear Him. Look how wide also the East is from the West, so far hath He set our sins from us. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, long suf- f'ring and of great goodness. O praise the Lord ye angels of His, ye that excel in strength. O praise the Lord all ye His hosts, O praise the Lord ye servants of His that do His pleasure. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits Praise the Lord ! Praise thou the Lord. Amen. XIV HE SHALL COME DOWN LIKE RAIN He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth ; In His days shall the righteous flourish and abund- ance of peace. So long the moon endureth, His Name shall endure forever, and men shall be blessed in Him, Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, and blessed be His glorious name forever. Amen. 55 ANTHEMS XI AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY And it shall come to pass in that day, That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time To recover the remnant of His people. And He shall set up an ensign for the nations, And He shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. And in that day ye shall say: Praise the Lord, call upon His name, Declare His doings among the people. Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing unto the Lord, for He hath done excellent things ; This is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. XII I LOVE THE LORD I love the Lord, for He hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because He hath inclined His ear to me. Therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.

Praise the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits : Praise the Lord, O my soul, praise the Lord.

Amen. IX BEHOLD ! HOW GOOD AND HOW PLEASANT Behold ! how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity. Like the dew of Hermon that cometh down upon the mountain of Zion. For there the Lord commandeth His blessing, Even life forever more. X . THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He shall restore my soul and lead me forth in the paths of righteousness, for His Name's Sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me: Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 53 ANTHEMS V THE LORD IS EXALTED The Lord is exalted, for He dwelleth on high : He hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. The earth mourneth and languisheth, Now will I rise, saith the Lord, now will I be ex- alted ; now will I lift up myself. VI THE KING OF GLORY Lift up your heads and open full wide, Ye gates of the world that the King of Glory may enter. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord the King, strong and mighty. The King of Glory, God Sabaoth, He is the King of Glory, God Sabaoth. VII REJOICE IN THE LORD Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, For praise is comely for the upright. Praise the Lord with harp. Sing unto Him with psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song, play skillfully with a loud noise ; For the word of the Lord is right, and all His works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ; And the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. ANTHEMS 52 II PRAISE THE LORD, O JERUSALEM Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, praise thy God, O Zion, For He hath made fast the bars of thy gates, and hath blessed thy children within thee. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great goodness. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. All Thy works praise Thee, O Lord, and Thy saints give thanks unto Thee. The valleys stand so thick with corn, that they laugh and sing. Ill PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL Praise the Lord, O my soul, And all that is within me, Praise His holy name. O come hither and behold the works of the Lord. How wonderful He is in His doing toward the chil- dren of men. The valleys stand so thick with corn that they laugh and sing. Praise the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits. Amen. IV O HOW AMIABLE ARE THY DWELLINGS O how amiable are Thy dwellings, Thou Lord of hosts! My soul hath desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: Even Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. ANTHEMS FEAR NOT, O ISRAEL Behold! there shall be day when the watchman upon the mountain shall cry aloud: ''Arise ye! Get ye up unto Mount Zion, unto the Lord your God!" For thus saith the Lord: Fear not now, O Israel, neither be thou dismayed, . Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears ; For I, the Lord, am with thee, and will save thee, I have loved thee with everlasting love, and have re- deemed thee. Why criest thou in thine affliction? Why mournest thou in nightly watches? I have redeemed thee. Therefore, thus saith the Lord: Sing ye aloud with gladness ! Thy mourning is turned into joy! I, even I, have redeemed thee. Be glad and rejoice! Thy sorrows are ended, and great shall ht thy peace. Rejoice, be glad and rejoice! Then fear ye not, O Israel, neither be thou dismayed, I have redeemed thee. Then fear not, fear not, O Israel. 51 49 RESPONSES How manifold are Thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; The earth is full of thy creatures. Yonder sea, great and wide, Therein are creeping things innumerable, Living creatures, both small and great. There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein. All of them wait for Thee, That Thou mayest give them their food in due season. Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, And return to their dust. Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; And Thou renewest the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; Let the Lord rejoice in His works! Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth ; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. Let my musing be sweet unto Him ; As for me, I will rejoice in the Lord. Let sinners cease out of the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah. RESPONSES 4a They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, From among the branches . they sing. Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers ; The earth is full of the fruit of Thy works. Who causest the grass to spring up for the cattle, And herb for the service of man ; To bring forth bread out of the earth. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Making the face brighter than oil. And bread that stayeth man's heart. The trees of the Lord have their fill, The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; Wherein the birds make their nests ; As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house. The high mountains are for the wild goats ; The rocks are a refuge for the conies. Who appointedst the moon for seasons ; The sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night. Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their 'food from God. The sun ariseth, they slink away. And couch in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening. 47 RESPONSES EIGHTH RESPONSIVE READING PSALM CIV Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, Thou art very great ; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty. Who coverest Thyself with light as with a gar- ment, Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; Who lay est the beams of Thine upper cham- bers in the waters, Who makest the clouds Thy chariot, Who walkest upon the wings of the wind; Who makest winds Thy messengers, The flaming fire Thy ministers. W^ho didst establish the earth upon its foundations. That it should not be moved for ever and ever ; Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture ; The waters stood above the mountains. At Thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away — The mountains rose, the valleys sank down — Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them; Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, That they might not return to cover the earth. Who. sendest forth springs into the valleys; They run between the mountains; RESPONSES 46 She sent out her branches unto the sea, And her shoots unto the River, Why hast Thou broken down her fences, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, That which moveth in the fiefd feedeth on it. O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; Look from heaven, and behold, and be mind- ful of this vine. And of the stock which thy right hand hath planted, And the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Thy counten- ance. Let thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself. So shall we not turn back from Thee; Quicken Thou us, and we will call upon Thy name. O Lord God of hosts, restore us; Cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. 45 RESPONSES SEVENTH RESPONSIVE READING PSALM LXXX . Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon, the cherubim, shine forth. Before ^phraim and Benjamin and Manas- seh, stir up Thy might, And come to save us. O God, restore us; And cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. O Lord God of Hosts, How long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people? Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears. And given them tears to drink in large measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors. And our enemies mock as they please. O God of hosts, restore us ; And cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it. Thou didst clear a place before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land. The mountains were covered with the shad- ow of it, And the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof. RESPONSES 44 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; Tremble before Him, all the earth. Say among the nations: "The Lord reigneth." The world also is established that it cannot be moved ; He will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof ; Let the field exult, and all that is therein ; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy; Before the Lord, for He is come; For He is come to judge the earth ; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples in his faithfulness, PSALM C Shout unto the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness ; Come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God ; It is He that hath made us, and we are His. His people and the flock of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise; Give thanks unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy endureth forever ; And his faithfulness unto all generations. « RESPONSES He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder ; He burneth the chariots in the fire. Let be and know that I am God ; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is with us, The God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah. SIXTH RESPONSIVE READING PSALM XCVI O sing unto the Lord a new song ; Sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim his salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations. His marvellous works among all the peoples. For great is the Lord, and highly to be praised.; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought ; But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him ; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Ascribe unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the peoples, - Ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto His name ; Bring an offering and come into His courts. RESPONSES 42 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; That the King of Glory may come in. Who then is the King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts ; He is the King of Glory. PSALM XLVI God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas ; Though the waters thereof roar and foam, Though the mountains shake at the swell- ing thereof. Selah, There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holiest dwelling-place of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved ; God shall help her, at the approach of morn- ing. Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved ; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. '^he Lord of Hosts is with us ; The God of Jacob is our high tower. Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who hath made desolations in the earth. 41 RESPONSES For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; The Lord giveth grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Happy is the man that trusteth in Thee. FIFTH RESPONSIVE READING PSALM XXIV The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof ; The world and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, • And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? And who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not taken my name in vain, And hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his sal- vation. Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, That seek Thy face, even Jacob. Lift up your heads, O y€ gates, And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors ; ' That the King of Glory may come in. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty. The Lord mighty in battle. RESPONSES 40 PSALM LXXXIV How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts ! My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the Lord ; My heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself. Where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O Lord of Hosts, My King, and my God Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, They are ever praising Thee. Selah. Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; In whose heart are the highways. Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs ; Yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings. They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. Behold, O God our Shield, and look upon the face of Thine annointed. For a day in Thy courts is better than a thou- sand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ili RESPONSES Keep back Thy servant also from presump tuous sins, That they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, And I shall be clear from great transgres- sion. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, FOURTH RESPONSIVE READING PSALM XXIII The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 1 will fear no evil, For Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou hast annointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for- ever. RESPONSES 38 Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. His going forth is from the end of the heaven. And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart ; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlight- ening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever; The ordinances of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether; More to be desired, are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold ; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned : In keeping of them there is great reward. Who can discern errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults. S7 RESPONSES PSALM LXIII O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; My soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is. So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, To see Thy power and Thy glory. For thy loving kindness is better than life; My lips shall praise Thee. So will I bless Thee as long as I live; In Thy name will I lift up my hands. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fat- ness; And my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips; When I remember Thee upon my couch, And meditate on Thee in the night watches. For Thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice. My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast. THIRD RESPONSIVE READING PSALM XIX The heavens declare the glory of God, And the firmament showeth. His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night revealeth knowledge; There is no speech, there are no words, Neither is their voice heard. RESPONSES 36 SECOND RESPONSIVE READING PSALM VIII O Lord, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in ail the earth ! Whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries ; That Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers. The moon and the stars which Thou hast established ; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him? Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands ; Thou hast put all things under his feet: Sheep and oxen, all of them, Yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea ; Whatsoever passeth through the path of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, How glorious is Thy name in all the earth! 35 RESPONSES That hath no slander upon his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his fellow, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neigh- bor; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honoreth them that fear the Lord ; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not ; He that putteth not out his money on interest, Nor taketh a bribe against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. PSALM CXI I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come? My help cometh from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved ; He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper; The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day. Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul. The Lord shall guard thy going out and thy com- ing in, From this time forth and for ever. RESPONSES 34 I FIRST RESPONSIVE READING I' PSALM I Reader — Happy is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stood in the way of sinners, Nor sat in the seat of the scornful. Cong. — But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season. And whose leaf doth not wither; And in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper. Not so the wicked; But they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judg- ment. Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous ; But the way of the wicked shall perish. PSALM XV Lord, who shall sojourn in Thy Tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon Thy holy mountain? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh right- eousness, And speaketh truth in his heart; RESPONSIVE READINGS 31 EVENING SERVICE FOR THE SABBATH A Redeemer shall He send, when good shall seem.

Lord of the Universie, who made The world and every living thing, When first all earth His will obeyed, Then was His name proclaimed as King. And at the end of days will He, To whom nor change nor time is known, Who was, and is, and still will be, In endless glory reign alone. He is the King of kings, and none Can share His wisdom, power, and might; The Lord our God, the Lord is One, In love and mercy infinite. My God and my Redeemer He, My Rock in sorrow's darkest day; A Help and Refuge unto me, My Portion sure, my Shield and Stay.

His praises sound Whose being, unbegun, no time can bound. A unity is He, besides him none, By mortal unconceived. Eternal One. Without similitude or corp'ral frame, Man's lips His hallowed state can ne'er proclaim. Or e'er Creation rose. He stood sublime, Alone and unsustained, before all time. To Him, Eternal Lord, all things below, As to their God supreme, allegiance owe. The gift of prophecy did He consign Unto a chosen few, of glorious line — Yet like to Moses none in Israel rose, \ 'Fore whose rapt gaze Himself did God disclose. The law of truth hath He His people given Thro' him, the prophet, proved most true to Heaven- A law God ne'er will change while time shall be. Nor alter in the least eternally. No secret from His gaze the heart enfolds. Who, ere aught is begun, the end beholds. The good man He rewards with virtue's meed, And visits on the bad each wicked deed.

The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to travail, and strippeth the for- ests bare: and in his temple everything saith, Glory. The Lord sat as king at the flood ; yea, the Lord sitteth as king for ever. The Lord will give strength unto his people ; the Lord will bless his people with peace. Reader and Congregation : Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us wel- come the presence of the Sabbath. Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us wel- come the presence of the Sabbath. "Obser\'e" and "Remember the Sabbath day," the only God caused us to hear in a single utterance : the Lord is One, and his name is One to his re- nown and his glory and his praise. Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us wel- come the presence of the Sabbath. Come, let us go to meet the Sabbath, for it is a well-spring of blessing; from the beginning, from of old it was ordained, — last in production, first in thought. Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us wel- come the presence of the Sabbath. O sanctuary of our King, O regal city, arise, go forth from thy overthrow; long enough hast thou dwelt in the valley of weeping; verily He will have compassion upon thee. Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us wel- come the presence of the Sabbath.

The Lord reigneth ; let the peoples tremble: he sitteth above the cherubim ; let the earth be moved. The Lord is great in Zion ; and he is high above all the peoples. Let them give thanks to thy great and dreaded name ; holy is he. And the strength of a king that loveth justice thou didst establish ir equity; thou hast wrought justice and righteous- ness in Jacob. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool : holy is he. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name, called upon the Lord, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud : they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them. Thou didst answer them, O Lord our God : a forgiving God thou wast unto them, though thou tookest vengeance on their misdeeds. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mount; for the Lord our God is holy. Psalm xxix. A Psalm of David. Give unto the Lord, O ye children of the mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name ; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters : the God of glory thundereth, even the Lord upon the great waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful ; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf ; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

Ashamed are all they that serve graven images, that make their boast of things of nought : worship him, all ye gods. Zion heareth and rejoiceth, and the daughters of Judah are glad because of thy judgments, O Lord. For thou, Lord, art most high above all the earth : thou art exalted far above all gods. O ye that love the Lord, hate evil ; he preserveth the souls of his - loving ones ; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name. Psalm xcviii. A Psalm. O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him. The Lord hath made known his salvation : his righteousness hath he revealed in the sight of the nations. He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel : all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy unto the Lord, all the earth ; break forth into exultation, and sing praises. Sing praises unto the Lord with the lyre ; with the lyre and the sound of song. With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout for joy before the king, the Lord. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the streams clap their hands, let the mountains exult together before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteous- ness, and the peoples with equity.

Re- count his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples. For great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised : he is to be rev^ered above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought : but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him : strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the Lord, ye families of the peoples, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name : take an offering and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; trem- ble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations, the Lord reigneth ; the world also is set firm that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad ; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof ; let the plain triumph and all that is therein ; yea, let all the trees of the forest exult before the Lord, for he cometh ; for he cometh to judge the earth : he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness. Psalm xcvii. The Lord reigneth ; let the earth be glad ; let the many coast-lands rejoice. Clouds and darkness are round about him ; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about. His lightnings illumine the world : the earth seeth and trembleth. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of the whole earth.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiv- ing: let us shout for joy unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God ,and a great king above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, and he made it ; and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hearken to his voice ! Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness. When your fathers tempted me, and proved me, although they had seen my work. Forty years long was I wearied with that genera- tion, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways. Wherefore I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Psalm xcvi. O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
