thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy Selection 14. PSALM 95. COME, let us sing unto Jehovah: Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms. 3 For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods. 4 In His hand are the deep places of the Earth; The heights of the mountains are His also. 5 The sea is His, and He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker: 7 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 hear His voice! 8 "Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted Me, Proved Me, and saw My work. 10 Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known My ways: 11 Wherefore I sware in My wrath, That they should not enter into My rest." name; Show forth His salvation from day to day. 3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. 4 For great is Jehovah, and highly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Jehovah made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before Him: Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. 7 Give unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength. 8 Give unto Jehovah the glory due unto His name: Bring an offering, and come into His courts. 9 O worship Jehovah in the beauty of holiness: Tremble before Him, all the Earth. 10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is estab lished that it cannot be moved: He shall judge the peoples with equity. 11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the Earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; 12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy; 13 Before Jehovah, for He cometh; For He cometh to judge the Earth: HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE PEOPLES WITH HIS TRUTH. 3 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. 4 Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the Earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises. 5 Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody. 6 With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah. 7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein; 8 Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together; 9 Before Jehovah, for He cometh to judge the Earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity. Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know ye that Jehovah He is God: It is He that hath made us, and we are His; We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise: Give thanks unto Him, and bless His name. 5 For Jehovah is good; His lovingkindness endureth for ever; And His faithfulness unto all generations. PSALM 103. B that is within me, bless His holy LESS Jehovah, O my soul; And all name. 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies: 5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things; So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle. 6 Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed. 7 He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel. 8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness. 9 He will not always chide; Neither will He keep His anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the Earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward them that fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far hath He removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear Him. 14 For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, And His righteousness unto children's children; 18 To such as keep His covenant, And to those that remember His precepts to do them. 19 Jehovah hath established His throne in the heavens; And His kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless Jehovah, ye angels of His: Ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, Hearkening unto the voice of His word. 21 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts; Ye ministers of His, that do His pleas ure. 22 BLESS JEHOVAH, ALL YE HIS WORKS, IN ALL PLACES OF HIS DOMINION: BLESS JEHOVAH, O MY SOUL! Selection 16. PSALM 104. LESS Jehovah, O my soul. O Je Bhovah my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty. 2 Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds His chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4 Who maketh winds His messengers; Flames of fire His ministers: 5 Who laid the foundations of the Earth, That it should not be moved for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains. 7 At Thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away; 8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank;) Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the Earth. 10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains: 11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, They sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the mountains from His chambers: The Earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works. 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth: 15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart. 16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture; The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; 17 Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies. 19 He appointed the Moon for seasons: The Sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night; Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. 22 The Sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening. 24 O Jehovah, how manifold are Thy works! In wisdom hast Thou made them all: The Earth is full of Thy creatures. 25 There is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to take his pastime therein. 27 These wait all upon Thee, That Thou mayest give them their food in due season. 28 That Thou givest unto them they gather; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. 29 Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created; And Thou renewest the face of the ground. 31 Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in His works: 32 Who looketh on the Earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. 33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. 34 Let my meditation be sweet unto Him: I will rejoice in Jehovah. 35 Let sinners be consumed out of the Earth, And let the wicked be no more. BLESS JEHOVAH, O MY SOUL. HALLELUJAH. Selection 17. PSALM 107. GIVE thanks unto Jehovah, for He is good: For His lovingkindness endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation. 8 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for His lovingkindness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For He satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul He filleth with good. 10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High: 12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bonds in sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for His lovingkindness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For He hath broken the gates of |
