PEEFAOE. npHE Book of Worship now offered to the New Church, has been prepared, under the direction of the Executive Com- mittee of the General Convention, by a commitee of nine, repre- senting the views and practices of the several parts of the Church. As the Committee believed the commonly accepted version of the Word to be, on the whole, better adapted to the uses of worship in the New Church than any other translation at pres- ent attainable, it has been adopted as the basis of the present work, such corrections only having been made as were obvi- ously necessary. The Morning and Evening Services have been arranged with a view to their use in a variety of ways conforming with the various usages in the Church. The rubrics are therefore mostly optional, leaving the choice of matter and the order of the several parts to be determined by the wants of the different congregations. These services are followed by the variable portions referred to in the rubrics, of which a liberal provision is made in order to meet as far as practicable the various requirements of different congregations. They consist of music for the Sanctus and Doxologies ; seventeen Eesponsive Services ; pas- sages from the Word to be read when desired in the place of IV PREFACE. those inserted in the services ; Prayers ; Selections from the Psalms, arranged for responsive reading ; Selections with Chants ; Anthems, and Hymns. Nothing has been omitted which is known to be wanted ; and nothing inserted which is not desired by some. Three editions of the book are published. The first, desig- nated, for convenience, the "Boston Edition," preserves the name Jehovah in its original forms, wherever it occurs in pas- sages from The Word ; in the second, to be known as the " New York Edition," the name Lord is used for Jehovah, as in the English Bible; the third, called the "Psalter Edition," is like the New York Edition, but contains a fuller collection of Prayers, including the Litany, also the entire book of Psalms, divided into portions for daily morning and evening readings, and arranged to be read in alternate verses. The other editions con- tain twenty-one selections from the Psalms, arranged to be read by alternate lines. The first thirteen of these selections may be used for the Morning Service on the thirteen Sundays of each quarter ; leaving the next three for occasional Evening Ser- vices. The seventeenth lesson is suitable for Thanksgiving Day, the eighteenth for Christmas, the nineteenth for Good Friday, the twentieth for Easter. The use of the lessons is not limited, however, to this arrangement. Those who prefer to have the reading of the Commandments preceded by a short introductory lesson, will find the following selections useful for that purpose. Thirteen lessons are recom- mended, to correspond to the number of Sundays in each quar- ter. These may be abbreviated, if shorter lessons are preferred, by omitting some of the verses. They are all from the Book of Deuteronomy, (1) iv. 1-14, 40 ; (2) iv. 23-40 ; (3) v. 22-33 ; (4) vi. 1-13, 17 ; (J) vi. 17-25 ; (G) vii. 1-11 ; (7) vii. 11— viii. 1 ; (8) PREFACE. V viii ; (9) x. 12— xi. 1 ; (10) xi. 8-21 ; (11) xi. 22-32 ; (12) xxx. 1-10 ; (13) xxx. 11-20. The Selections include all that were in general use in the Liturgy, with a few additions. The Chants also are in great part from the Liturgy ; but they have been thoroughly revised, and many excellent chants, new and old, have been added, by Prof. George J. Webb, to whom the Church has been indebted almost from the beginning tor guidance in the appro- priate singing of sacred words The Selections and Chants are followed by a number of Chant Anthems by Mr. Webb, which offer a new and promising musical form for the words of Scripture songs ; also by a small collection of good Anthems, selected with special reference to congregational use. A carefully chosen collection of Hymns, the most suitable for the New Church that could be found, is printed with appro- priate music, which also has been revised and approved by Mr. W T ebb.

Thou shalt have none other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth be- neath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them : for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me ; and show- ing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me, and keep my commandments. 18 RESPONSIVE SERVICES. Holy, holy, holy, Lord j God Al| mighty ; Who was, and who | is, and who J is to | come. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain : for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Who shall not fear | Thee, O | Lord, • And glorify thy name? for | Thou a | lone art | holy. Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work ; but the seventh day is the Sab- bath of the Lord thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man- servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ; that thy man-servant and thy maid- servant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm : therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sab- bath day. This is the day which the | Lord hath | made : We will re|joice * and be | glad in | it. Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee ; that thy days may be pro- longed, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

THE TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS. \TOW these are the commandments, the statutes, and m the judgments, which the Lord your God com- manded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye pass over to possess it ; that thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his stat- utes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life ; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do ; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel ; the Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength : this is the first commandment. m d: q 1 § -&- -&- -&- 721 -&- 321 2£ -&- m& JZ- &- -£—£-&- t -ffi- -&- &- & -&- ~JBL P-0 & -&- e -» — »- BE -(9- -&- r 1 Thou art | worthy, | Lord, To receive | glory, and | honor, and | power : 2 For Thou hast cre|ated all | things ; And for thy pleasure they | are, and | were cre|ated. , And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

And these words which I command thee this day- shall be in thy heart ; and thou shalt teach them dili- gently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. 1 Behold, the | Lord our | God Hath showed us his | glory | and his | greatness : 2 And we have | heard his | voice Out of the | midst | of the | fire : 3 We have | seen this | day, That God doth | talk with | man, and he | liveth. 4 And the Lord commanded us to do | all these | statutes.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way ; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty their soul fainted in them.

Such as sit in darkness and the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron : because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High : therefore He brought down their heart with labor ; they fell down, and there was none to help.

Fools because of their transgression and because of their iniquities are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat ; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

For He commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to heaven, they go down again to the depths : their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel and stagger like a drunken man, and all their wisdom is brought to naught. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they are quiet ; and He bringeth them unto the haven of their desire.

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sins of my soul ? He hath showed thee, man, what is good ; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God ?

INTRODUCTORY PRAYERS. 45 O Lord, open Thou my lips ; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For Thou desirest not sacrifice ; else would I give ; Thou delightest not in burnt offering.

Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me ; for I am meek, and lowly in heart ; and ye shall find rest to your souls. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth ; and he that seeketh, findeth ; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 46 SENTENCES INTRODUCTORY TO PRAYER. The hour cometh, nnd now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth ; for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit ; and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and in truth. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found : surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one cometh unto the Father but by Me. If ye had known Me ye would have known my Father also : and from henceforth ye know Him and have seen Him. He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father. I am the vine, ye are the branches ; he that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit : for without Me ye can do nothing If ye abide in Me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children ; how much more shall the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in Heaven : for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any : that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

UNTO Thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in Thee : let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies tri- umph over me. Show me thy ways, Lord ; teach me thy paths.

Teach me thy way, Lord ; I will walk in thy truth : unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart : and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 48 THE LORD'S PRAYER AND CONFESSIONS. THE LORDS PRATER.

In our trials and temptations, leave us not comfortless, but make thy presence so known and felt, that thy joy may be in us and that our joy may be full. Amen. If In Preparation for the Holy Supper. Have mercy upon us, God, according to thy loving-kind- ness ; according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out our transgressions. For we acknowledge our transgressions, and our sins are ever before us. We confess that we have sinned against Thee, in thought, word, and deed, and are not worthy to be called thy children. But Thou, O Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy to all them that call upon Thee. To the broken in heart Thou hast promised to be near, and to save such as be of a contrite spirit. Grant us a spirit of sincere contrition, that, searching our hearts by the light of thy truth, we may be enabled to see and acknowledge our evils, and to shun them as sins against Thee. And may we be thus deliv- ered, Lord, from all idolatry of self and the world, from all pride and self-will, from all prejudice, blindness, and hardness of heart, from covetousness and ambition, from all feelings of animosity and resentment, and contempt for those whom we dis- like. And give us that sense of our own weakness, which com- pels us to seek help from Thee, that we may be thus led to look for strength and support to those means which Thou hast pro- vided. And by such sincere repentance and humility, may we be prepared, O Lord, for thy Holy Supper, that our hearts may be opened to receive of thy Divine Body and Blood, and that we may be brought thereby not only into thy presence, but into that conjunction with Thee which is eternal life. Amen. 56 PRAYERS AND THANKSGIVINGS. H Prayers for the Close of Worship.

Amen. O Lord, our Heavenly Father, impress upon our minds the truths of thy Word : open our eyes to behold the wonders of thy law : shed abroad thy love in our hearts, and enable us to do thy will.

Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favor, and further us with thy continual help ; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify thy holy name, and finally, by thy mercy, obtain everlasting life. Amen. Almighty Father, the Fountain of all wisdom, who knowest our necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking : We beseech Thee to have compassion upon our infirmities ; and those things which, for our unworthiness, we dare not, and for our blindness, we can not ask, vouchsafe, O Lord, to give us, for thine own mercy's sake. Amen. O Lord our God, who hast given us grace with one accord to make our common supplications unto Thee, and hast promised that where two or three are gathered together in thy Name, Thou wilt be in the midst of them to grant their requests : Fulfill now, O Lord, the petitions of thy servants, as may be most profitable for them, granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting.

For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows : Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Thou wilt add days to the days of the king : His years as generation and generation. He shall abide before God for ever : prepare mercy and truth, let them preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever ; That I may daily perform my vows. PSALM LV. GIVE ear to my prayer, O God ; And hide not Thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me, and hear me : 1 mourn in my complaint, and make a noise : Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked : For they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger do they hate me. My heart is sore pained within me : And the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 68 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Fearf ulness and trembling are come upon me ; And horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove ! For then would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. As for me, I will call upon God ; And the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud : And He will hear my voice. He will deliver my soul in peace from the battle that was against me : For there are many with me. God shall hear, and afflict them, even He that abideth of old. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him ; He hath broken his covenant. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart : His words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee : He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. LESSON VIII. PSALM LXX. MAKE haste, O God, to deliver me : Make haste to help me, Lord. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul : Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee : And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be mag- nified. But I am poor and needy : make haste unto me, God : Thou art my help and my deliverer, Lord, make no delay. PSALM LXXI. IN Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust : Let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape : Incline thine ear unto me, and save me. LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. 69 Be Thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort : Thou hast given commandment to save me, for Thou art my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, my God, out of the hand of the wicked ; Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For Thou art my hope, Lord God : Thou hast been my trust from my youth. I am as a wonder unto many ; But Thou art my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with thy praise ; And with thy honor all the day. Cast me not off in the time of old age : Forsake me not when my strength faileth. For mine enemies speak against me : And they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together : They say, God hath forsaken him : Persecute and take him, for there is none to deliver. O God, be not far from me : my God, make haste for my help. Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul : Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. But I will hope continually ; And will yet praise Thee more and more. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day ; For I know not the numbers thereof. 1 will go in the strength of the Lord God : I will make mention of thy righteousness, of thine only. O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth : And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Now also when I am old and greyheaded, God, forsake me not ; Until I have showed thy strength unto a generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. Thy righteousness, also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things : God, who is like unto Thee ! Tbou, who hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again ; And shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Thou shalt increase my greatness ; And comfort me on every side. 70 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. I will also praise Thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: Unto Thee will I sing with the harp, Thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee ; And my soul, which Thou Jiast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long : For they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. LESSON IX. PSALM LXXII. rt IVE the king thy judgments, God ; IT And thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness ; And thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people ; And the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people ; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall crush the op- pressor. They shall fear Thee as long as the sun and moon endure ; Throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass : As showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous nourish ; And abundance of peace till the moon be no more. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea ; And from the river unto the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him : And his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents : The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall bow down to him : All nations shall serve him. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth ; The poor also, and him tJmt hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy ; And shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence : And precious shall their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba : Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

I am counted with them that go down into the pit : I am as a man that hath no strength : I am neglected among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more : And they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit : In darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me ; And Thou hast afflicted me with cdl thy leaves. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me ; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them : lam shut up, and I cannot come forth. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction : / have ccdled daily upon Thee, Lord, I have stretched out my hands unto Thee. Wilt Thou show wonders to the dead ? Shall the dead arise and praise Thee ? Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave ? Or thy faithfulness in destruction ? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark ? And thy righteousness in the land of forgetful ness f But unto Thee have I cried, Lord ; And in the morning shall my prayer come before Thee. LESSON X. PSALM LXXXV. THOU hast been favorable, O Lord, to thy land : Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people : Thou hast covered cdl their sin. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath : Thou hast turned airay from the burning of thine anger. Restore us, O God of our salvation ; And turn away thine anger from us. 72 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Wilt Tliou be angry with us for ever ? Wilt Thou prolong thine anger to all generations ? Wilt Thou not revive us again : That thy 'people may rejoice in Thee ? Make us to see thy mercy, LORD ; And grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the Lord will speak ; for He will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints : But let them not turn again to folly. Surely his salvation is near them that fear Him ; That glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together ; Righteousness and peace ham kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth ; And righteousness shall look down from the heavens. Yea, the Lord shall give good ; And our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before Him ; And shall set us in the way of his steps. PSALM LXXX. &IVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock : Thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength; And come and save us. Turn us again, God, and cause thy face to shine ; and we shall be saved. Lord God of hosts, how long icilt Thou be angry against the prayer of thy people. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears ; And givest them tears to drink in great measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors : And our enemies laugh among themselves. Turn us again, God of hosts ; And cause thy face to shine, and ice shall be saved. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt : Thou hast cast out the nations and planted it. Thou preparedst room before it ; And didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it ; And the boughs thereof were like the cedars of God. She sent out her boughs unto the sea ; And her branches unto the river. LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. 73 Why hast Thou then broken down her hedges ; So that all they which pass by the way do pluck her f The boar out of the wood doth waste it ; And the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Keturn, we beseech Thee, God of hosts : Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine : And the vineyard 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 countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand ; Upon the son of man ichom Thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from Thee : Quicken us, and ice will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts ; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. LESSON XI. PSALM CVII. OGIVE thanks unto the Lord, for He is good : For his mercy is for ever. Thus shall the redeemed of the Lord say ; Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy : And hath gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west ; From the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way ; They found no city of habitation. They were hungry and thirsty ; Their soul did faint within them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble ; He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by a straight way ; To go to a city of habitation. Let them confess to the Lord his mercy. And his wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul ; And filleth the hungry soul icith good. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death ; Being bound in affliction and iron : Because they rebelled against the words of God ; And contemned the counsel of the Most High : 74 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Therefore He brought down their heart with labor : They fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble ; He saved them out of their distresses.

For He hath broken the gates of brass And cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools because of their transgression, and because of their in- iquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat, and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble ; He saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them ; And delivered them from their destructions. Let them confess to the Lord his mercy ; And his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving ; And declare his works with rejoicing. They that go down to the sea in ships ; That do business in great waters. These see the works of the Lord ; And his wonders in the deep. For He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind ; Which lifteth up the leaves tliereof. They mount up to heaven, they go down again to the depths : Their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel and stagger like a drunken man ; And all their wisdom is brought to naught. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble ; And He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm ; And the leaves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they are quiet ; And He bringeth them unto the haven of their desire. Let them confess to the Lord his mercy ; And 7iis wonderful works to the children of men ! Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people ; And praise Him in the assembly of the elders. He turneth rivers into a wilderness ; Springs of water into dry ground : LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. 75 A fruitful land into barrenness ; For tlie wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turnetli the wilderness into a pool of waters ; And dry land into water-springs. And there He niaketh the hungry to dwell ; That they may prepare a city for habitation : And sow the fields, and plant vineyards ; Which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, and they are multiplied greatly ; And He suffereth not their cattle to decrease. Again, they are minished and brought low ;. Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. He poureth contempt upon princes ; And causeth them to wander in a pathless waste. Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction ; And maketh him families like a flock. The righteous shall see, and rejoice : And all iniquity shall stop her mouth. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things ; Even they slmll understand the loving -kindness of the Lord. LESSON XII. PSALM CXIX. THOTJ art my portion, Lord : I have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated thy favor with all the heart : Be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought upon my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimo- nies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me : But I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee ; Because of the judgments of thy justice. I am a companion of all them that fear Thee ; And of them that keep thy precepts. The earth, Lord, is full of thy mercy : Teach Thou me thy statutes. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me : Make me to understand, that I may learn thy commandments. 76 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS.

Let the proud be ashamed ; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause : I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear Thee turn unto me ; And those that know thy testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes ; That I may not be ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation : But I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word ; Saying, When wilt Thou comfort me? For I am become like a bottle in the smoke ; Yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant ? When wilt Thou execute judgment on them that persecute me ? The proud have digged pits for me ;~ Which are not according to thy law. All thy commandments are faithfulness : They persecute me icith falsehood ; help Thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth ; But I did not forsake thy precepts. Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness ; And I will keep the testimony of thy mouth. how I love thy law ! It is my meditation all the day. Thou hast made me wiser than mine enemies, through thy com- mandments : For they are ever with me. 1 have more understanding than all my teachers : For thy testimonies are my meditation.

I have not departed from thy judgments : For Thou hast taught me. LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. 77 How sweet are thy words to my taste ! Sweeter than honey unto my mouth !

I cried unto Thee : O save rue ; And I shall keep thy testimonies. I prevented the dawn and cried : I hoped in thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches ; That I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice according unto thy loving-kindness : Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw near that follow mischief : They are far from thy laic. Thou art near, Lord, and all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them for ever. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me : For I do not forget thy laic. Plead my cause, and deliver me : Quicken me according to thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked : For they seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord : Quicken me according to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies : Yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 1 beheld the transgressors, and was grieved : Because they did not keep thy tcord. Consider how I love thy precepts : Quicken me, Lord, according to thy loving -kindness. Thy word is true from the beginning : And every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Princes have persecuted me without a cause : But my heart doth tremble at thy icord. I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. Falsehood do I hate and abhor ; but thy law do Hove. 78 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Seven times a clay do I praise Thee ; Because of the judgments of thy justice. Great peace have they who love thy law : And no stumbling block have they. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation ; And thy commandments have I done.

Let my cry come near before Thee, Lord : Make me to understand according to thy word. Let my supplication come before Thee : Deliver me according to thy word. I have longed for thy salvation, Lord ; And thy law is my delight. I have gone astray, like a lost sheep : Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments. LESSON XIV. PSALM LXXXIX. I WILL sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever : With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all gen- erations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever : Thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen ; I have sworn unto David my servant : Thy seed will I establish for ever ; And build up thy throne to all generations. And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord : Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in heaven can be compared to the Lord ? Who among the sons of the Gods can be likened to the Lord ? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints ; And to be reverenced by all them that are about Him. O Lord God of Hosts, who is like unto Thee, mighty Lord ? Or to thy faithfulness round about Thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea : When the leaves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

The heavens are thine, the earth is also thine : The icorld and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them. The north and the south, Thou hast created them : Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. Thou hast a mighty arm : Strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the foundation of thy throne : Mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound : They shall walk, Lord, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day : And in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For Thou art the glory of their strength : And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. For the Lord is our defence ; And the Holy One of Israel our King. Then Thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty ; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. I have found David my servant ; With my holy oil have I anointed him : With whom my hand shall be established ; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not beset him ; Nor the son of loickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face ; And I will smite them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him : And in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea ; And his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father ; My God, and the rock of my salvation. I will also make him my first-born ; Higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore ; And my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever ; And his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments ; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments : 80 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Tlien will I visit their transgression with the rod ; And their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him : Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break ; Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon ; And as a faithful icitness in heaven. Blessed be the Lord for evermore ; Amen and Amen. LESSON XV. PSALM CXIX. THY word is a lamp unto my feet ; And a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform ; That Iicill keep the judgments of thy justice. I am afflicted very much : Quicken me, Lord, according to thy word.

The wicked have laid a snare for me : Yet I have not wandered from thy precepts. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever : For they are the rejoicing of my heart. I hate divided thoughts : But thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield : I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers : For I will keep the commandments of my God.

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts : And I will declare thy greatness. The memory of thy great goodness shall they proclaim ; And shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion : Slow to anger, and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all : And his mercies are over all his works.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about : The snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God : He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before Him, into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled : The foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because He was wroth. 86 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils ; And fire out of Ms mouth devoured; coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down : And darkness was under his feet. And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly : Yea, He did fly upon the icings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place ; His pavilion round about Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before Him his thick clouds passed ; IThere were hail stones and coals of fire. The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice ; There toere hail stones and coals of fire. Yea, He sent out his arrows, and scattered them ; And He shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered ; At thy rebuke, Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. He sent from above, He took me ; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy ; And from them which hated me ; for they were stronger than I. They fell upon me in the day of my calamity : But the Lord teas my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place ; He delivered me because He delighted in me. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness : According to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord ; And Mve not wickedly departed from my God. For all his judgments were before me ; And I did not put away his statutes from me. I was also upright before Him ; And I kept myself from mine iniquity. Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my right- eousness ; According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

Let not them that wait on Thee, O Lord God of Hosts, he ashamed for my sake : Let not those that seek Thee be confounded for my sake, God of Israel. Because for thy sake I have home reproach : Shame hath covered my face. I am become a stranger unto my brethren ; And an alien unto my mother's children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up : And the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon me. I made sackcloth also my garment ; And I became a by -word to them. They that sit in the gate speak against me ; And lam the song of the drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time : God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink : Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up ; And let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. Hear me, O Lord ; for thy loving-kindness is good : Turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy servant : For lam in trouble ; hear me speedily. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it : Deliver me because of mine enemies. Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor : Mine adversaries are all before Thee. 88 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness : And I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. They gave me also gall for my meat ; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a snare before them : And let their good fortune become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not ; And cause their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them ; And let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate ; And let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten ; And they talk of the pain of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity : And let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living ; And let them not be icritten with the righteous. But I am poor and sorrowful : Let thy salvation, God, set me up on high. I will praise the name of God with a song ; And will magnify Him with thanksgiving. The afflicted shall see this, and be glad : And your heart shall live that seek God. LESSON XX. PSALM XVI. 11HE Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup . Thou dost maintain my lot. The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places : Tea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel : My reins also instruct me in the nights. I have set the Lord always before me : Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : My flesh shall also rest in hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ; Neither wilt Thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS. 89 Thou wilt show me the path of life : In thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. PSALM XXX. I WILL extol Thee, Lord, for Thou hast lifted me up ; And hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried unto Thee ; And Thou hast healed me. Lord, Thou hast brought up my soul from the grave : Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the Lord, ye saints of his ; And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger is but for a moment ; in his favor is life : Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Lord, by thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong : Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 1 cried unto Thee, Lord ; And unto the Lord I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit ? Shall the dust praise Thee f shall it declare thy truth. Hear, Lord, and have mercy upon me : Lord, be Thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing : Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness : Therefore shall my glory sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. Lord my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever. LESSON XXI. PSALM LXVL MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all the earth : Sing forth the honor of his name ; make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in thy works ! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, and sing unto Thee : They shall sing unto thy name. Come and see the works of God : He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 90 LESSONS FROM THE PSALMS.

He ruleth by his power for ever ; his eyes behold the nations : Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. bless our God, ye people ; And make the voice of his praise to be heard : Who holdeth our soul in life ; And suffereth not our feet to be moved. For Thou, O God, hast proved us : Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net ; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads ; we went through fire and through water : But Thou broughtest us out into a place of abundance. 1 will go into thy house with burnt offerings : I will pay Thee my vows, which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto Thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the in- cense of rams : Twill offer bullocks tcith goats. Come and hear, all ye that fear God ; And I will declare what He hath done for my soul. I cried unto Him with my mouth ; And He icas extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me : But verily God hath heard me ; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. SELECTIONS AND CHANTS.
