Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. The Committee appointed by the Board of Publication in obedience to a direction of the General Assembly of 1884 to revise the Psalter, having com- pleted their work, herewith present the results of their labors. The following persons were appointed by the Board to assist the Com- mittee in the work, by correspondence, viz. : Revs. D. A. Duff, W. A. McKenzie, J. M. French, W. T. Meloy, D. D., S. G. Irvine, D. D., J. F. Hutchison, M. F. McKirahan ; Messrs. P. W. Hill and John M. Donaldson. These gentlemen entered very zealously upon the work and performed a large amount of excellent labor, but for a variety of reasons — among which was the fact that, having no opportunity to consult with each other, their work was unavoidably conflicting, each person presenting a different tune for each selection — their labor was of less service to the Committee than it otherwise would have been ; and as the correspondence was quite laborious and somewhat expensive, it was by mutual consent discontinued. The endeavor of the Committee has been to search the field of sacred music and to select only that which has highest merit and best adaptation to the sentiment and to congregational use. Tunes which have received the widest acceptance by the Church at large have been given the preference. Many of the tunes in the Psalter have been retained. Some have been transferred to other selections. Two hundred and twenty-one tunes have been added. They are all of acknowledged merit and it is believed will find general acceptance. Where divisions of Psalms have been necessary, care has been taken to draw the lines where the sentiment clearly admits of them, but occasionally arbitrary (iii) Jy PREFACE. divisions have been necessitated, as no others were possible. Each selection with its tune or tunes occupies a single page. For convenience in use each selection is numbered, and the number corresponds with the number of the page. '' A few chants, voluntaries and anthems are added. The utmost care has been taken by the Committee to give proper credit and obtain proper permission for the use of tunes from those owning the copy- right, and thanks are due to the corresponding members and many others for valuable suggestions and assistance ; also to Dr. H. R. Palmer, Prof. W. A. Laf- ferty and Judge C. C. Converse, for permission to use their valuable composi- tions without compensation. The revision has been a work of much labor, and is now submitted to the Church with the hope and prayer that it may contribute something to the ser- vice of praise, and thereby to the glory of God.

M. 1 How blest and happy is the man Who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men, Nor stands in sinners' way, 2 Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair, But places his delight Upon God's law, and meditates On his law day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree that grows Set by a river's side, Which in its season yields its fruit, And green its leaves abide. 4 And all he does shall prosper well : The wicked are not so, But like the chaff before the wind, Are driven to and fro. 5 In judgment therefore shall not stand Such as ungodly are ; Nor in th' assembly of the just Shall wicked men appear. 6 Because the way of godly men Is to Jehovah known ; Whereas the way of wicked men Shall quite be overthrown.

But in God's law he takes delight, ^ And meditates both day and night. 2 He shall be like the tree that springs Where streams of water gently glide ; Which plenteous fruit in season brings. And ever green its leaves abide. Thus shall prosperity attend The good man's work, till life shall end. Not so ungodly men, for they Like chaff before the wind are driven ; Hence they'll not stand in judgment day, Nor mingle with the saints in heaven. The Lord approves the good man's path. But sinners' ways shall end in wrath. THE PSALTER. MONORA. C. M. D. I , I , Fine. -^ -0-- -!§- -0- -#- -V- * -#- • -,s>-' psrr-c ^ — • — I • .

With deadly sorrows compassed round ; My soul with pains of hell oppressed, And in death's iron fetters bound. 4 Distressed, I called upon the Lord, And to my God addressed my prayer ; My voice he from his temple heard. My cry ascended to his ear. 5 When God in his fierce anger came, The everlasting hills did quake ; The trembling earth throughout its frame, Did from its deep foundations shake. 6 Dark clouds of smoke, dread signs of ire Up from Jehovah's nostrils came ; -f — r — ^- ^^^ His mouth sent forth devouring fire, And coals were kindled into flame. 7 He bowed the heavens, his high abode, Decending 'mid the gloom of night ; He on a cherub swiftly rode, And on the wings of wind his flight. 8 Dark watery mists in thick array And lowering clouds his presence vail. But at his brightness pass away. And burst in storms of fire and hail. 9 Then through the heaven with lightning riven, Jehovah thundered in his ire ; The voice of God Most High was given 'Mid storms of hail and coals of fire. 10 His deadly shafts around he threw.

And from the tempest haste. 6 Destroyed, Jehovah, let them be ; Divide, confuse their tongue ; For in the city, lo, I see Great strife and grievous wrong. 7 All day and night they go around Upon her circling walls, While sin and sorrow great are found Within her peopled halls. 8 Yea, crimes of violence and fraud Within the city meet ; Deceit and guile there stalk abroad, Nor leave the crowded street. 9 'Twas not a foe who did deride, For that I could endure ; No hater who thus rose in pride. Else I would hide secure. 10 But thou it was, my friend and guide. We did as equals meet ; We walked to God's house side by side, And blended counsel sweet. 11 Death shall them seize, and to the tomb Alive they shall go down ; For wickedness is in their home ; Among them sins abound. 188 THE PSALTER.

If I of thee forgetful prove, 8 Let my right hand forget its skill With grace the harp's sweet strings to If I do not remember thee, Let my parched tongue its utterance cease ; If my chief joy be dear to me Beyond Jerus'lem's joy and peace. Remember, Lord, how Edom's crowd, Glad in Jerus'lem's day of woe, Urged on the victor, shouting loud, "Down with her walls, o'erthrow, o'erthrow." O Babel's daughter, God's decree Dooms thee to wrath, a wretched prey ; And blest shall that avenger be Who shall to thee our wrongs repay. Yea, truly, shall that man be blest, And with triumphal honor crowned. Who rends thy children from the breast, To dash them bleeeding to the ground. 432 THE PSALTER. BINGHAM. C. M.
