All blest are men upright of way
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PCXIXa (1742) Lyrics: A
1 All blest are men upright of way,
Walk in Jehovah's law who do.
2 Who keep his records, blest are they,
With all their heart, who seek him too.
3 And that work no iniquity,
But in his ways do walk indeed.
4 Thou charged hast attentively
Unto thy precepts to give heed.
5 O that my ways thou would'st direct
To keep thy statutes heedfully.
6 When I all thy commands respect,
Then be ashamed shall not I.
7 When thy just judgments I shall know
With hearts uprightness I'll thee praise.
8 Me utterly forsake not thou.
I will observe thy statute-ways.
[2] B
9 By what may youth redress his way?
Thy word by heeding thereunto.
10 I sought thee with whole heart, me stray
Therefore let not thy precepts fro.
11 Thy word I hid within my heart,
That sin I might not against thee.
12 O thou Jehovah blessed art,
Thy statutes therefore teach thou me.
13 I with my lips did forth display
The judgments of thy mouth, ev'n all
14 I in thy testimonies way
Rejoyce more than in riches all.
15 I'll in thy precepts meditate,
And have respect unto thy ways.
16 Me in thy laws I'll recreate,
And not forget what thy word says.
[3] C
17 Confer this grace thy servant to,
That I may live thy word to keep,
18 Unveil mine eyes that I may see
Out of thy law the wonders deep.
19 On earth I am a sojourner;
Hide not thy laws therefore me fro.
20 My soul is broken with desire
In seasons all thy judgments to.
21 Thou hast rebuk'd the proud, the same
Are curst who from thy statutes swerve.
22 Roll off from me reproach and shame
For I thy records do observe.
23 Ev'n princes sat, and 'gainst me spake,
But on thy laws thy servant mus'd.
24 Thy records for my joy I take,
And them men of my counsel us'd.
[4] D
25 Down to the dust my soul cleaves fast,
O quicken me after thy word,
26 I shew'd my ways, thou heard me hast,
Thy statutes learning me afford.
27 Make me to know thy precepts way;
So I'll muse on thy wondrous ways:
28 My soul with grief doth melt away
According to thy word me raise.
29 The way of lying from me take,
And thy law grant me graciously.
30 The way of truth my choice I make,
Thy laws before me laid have 1.
31 Thy records I do closely heed:
O Lord, on me shame do not cast.
32 I'll run thy precepts way with speed,
When thou my heart enlarged hast.
[5] E
33 Enform me Lord, in thy laws ways,
And I will keep it to the end.
34 Light give me and I'll keep thy law,
Yea, it with all my heart attend.
35 In thy laws path make me to go,
Because that I delight therein
36 My heart unto thy records bow,
And bow it not to coveting.
37 From vain fights turn away mine eyes,
And in thy way revive thou me.
38 Unto thy servant ratify
Thy word, who stands in awe of thee.
39 The slander which I fear remove:
Because thy judgments good they be.
40 Lo for thy laws I longing love:
O in thy justice quicken me.
[6] F
41 Find me, Lord, let thy mercies all,
After thy words salvation too.
42 So I my scorners answer shall,
Because thy word I trust unto
43 Truth's words my mouth quite take not fro
Because ( on thy judgments stay.
44 And I continually shall so,
Thy laws keep to perpetual aye.
45 Yea I will walk at liberty
Because I do thy precepts seek.
46 Nor will before kings blush when I
Shall of thy testimonies speak.
47 Also my self in thy commands
Which I have lov'd, delight I will.
48 And to thy precepts dear my hands
Lift up, and mind thy precepts still.
[7] G
49 Good to thy servant make thy word,
On which to hope thou didst me give,
50 In grief this did me joy afford,
Because thy word doth make me live.
51 The proud have much derided me,
Yet have I not thy law declin'd
52 Thy judgments Lord of old that be,
I did recall and comfort find.
53 Me caught hath dreadful trembling.
For wicked men thy laws forsake.
54 I in my house of my wandering,
My songs did of thy statutes make.
55 O Lord, thy name I mind by night,
And kept with care thy laws have I.
56 This had I, for 1 kept arignt
Thy precepts very heedfully.
[8] H
57 He ev'n the Lord is my choice part,
I said that I will keep thy word.
58 Thy favour beg'd with all my heart,
Thy promis'd mercies me afford.
59 When as I thought upon my ways
I turn'd my feet thy records to
60 I hasted and made no delays,
To keep with heed thy statutes so.
61 The bands of wicked men robb'd me,
Yet did I not forget thy laws.
62 I'll rise at midnight to praise thee,
Thy righteous judgments are the caufs.
63 Companion to them all am I
That fear thee, and thy laws keep too,
64 Tj' earth's full cf thy benignity;
O Lord, thy statutes let me know.
[9] J
65 Jehovah with thy servant thou
After thy word right well hast done.
66 Good taste and knowledge teach me now.
For I believe thy precepts on.
67 I stray'd e'er thou didst me chastise:
But I thy word observ'd have now.
68 Thou art good, good thou dost likewise
Thy statutes cause thou me to know,
69 The proud against me lies do raise,
Thy laws I'll keep with my heart's might.
70 The heart of them is fat as grease;
But in thy laws I do delight.
71 It's good for me I was chastis'd,
That so thy statutes learn I should.
72 Laws of thy mouth I more have priz'd,
Than siver thousands of and gold.
[10] K
73 Knowledge me give, to keep thy law:
Thy hands me formed have and made.
74 Who fear thee, me shall see and joy:
For hope I in thy word have had.
75 Thy judgments Lord are just I know
And faithfully thou chastendst me.
76 As thou hail spoke thy servant to,
Now let thy grace my comfort be.
77 Send me thy grace that live may I,
For as my joy thy law I chuse.
78 Shame proud ones that me wrongfully
Do harm, who on thy precepts muse,
79 Let them that fear thee turn to me,
And such as have thy records known.
80 Sound in thy laws my heart let be,
That so I shame may suffer mone.
[11] L
81 Look for thy word I do, likewise
My soul doth faint for help from thee.
82 And for thy word have fail'd mine eyes:
I said when wilt thou comfort me?
83 I like a smoke-dry'd bottle am,
Yet do I not thy laws forego.
84 What are thy servants days? O when
Wilt judgment on thy troublers do?
85 The proud have digged pits for me
Which do not to thy precepts suit.
86 All thy laws faithful are: Help me
Whom wrongfully they persecute.
87 On earth they almost did me waste,
But I thy laws did not forsake.
88 The law of thy mouth to hold fast
Me in thy mercy lively make.
[12] M
89 Made fast thy word in heaven is
O Lord for ever to endure
90 From age to age thy faithfulness:
Thou form'd the earth, and it stands sure.
91 They stand as thou didst set them right,
For all are servants thee unto
92 Had not thy law been my delight,
Then had I perish'd in my wo .
93 Thy precepts ne'er forget will I,
Because by them thou quicknedst me.
94 Thine own am I, save me, for why?
I sought thy precepts studiously.
95 The wicked watch, me to destroy,
But I thy testimonies mind.
96 Of ail perfection end I see,
But very large thy law I find.
[13] N
97 Now O how much thy law I prize?
It is my study all the day.
98 Thou than my foes mad'st me more wise,
By thy law, for it's with me aye.
99 More than my teachers all I know,
Because thy laws my study are.
100 I know more than the ancients do,
Because I keep thy laws with care.
101 From each ill path my feet I stay,
That so I may thy word observe.
102 Because thou hast me taught the way,
I did not from thy judgments swerve.
103 Thy words are to my taste how sweet!
More to my mouth than honey they.
104 I from thy precepts wisdom get,
I therefore hate each lying way.
[14] O
105 Of my feet is the lamp thy word,
And to my path the shining light.
106 I sware, and to perform accord,
That I will keep thy judgments right.
107 I am afflicted very sore.
Lord, quicken me after thy word.
108 My mouth's free off'ring own therefore,
And me thy judgments teach O Lord,
109 My soul is in my hand alway,
But I have not thy law forgot.
110 Vile men for me a snare did lay,
Yet from thy precepts stray'd I not.
111 Thy records I inherit do
For aye, for my heart's joy they be.
112 My heart to do thy laws I bow,
To th' end ev'n to eternity.
[15] P
113 Pursue vain thoughts with hate I do,
But dearly love thy law do I.
114 My covert and my shield art thou,
I on thy word wait hopefully.
115 Depart from me vile men that I
May keep my God's commandments just.
116 By thy word stay me, live shall I:
Nor shame me for my hopeful trust.
117 I shall be safe if thou me stay,
And still with joy thy laws I'll eye.
118 Thou tread'st down from thy laws who stray,
For their deceit is vanity.
119 Earth's lewd like dross thou put'st away,
Thy laws I dearly love therefore.
120 My flesh doth quake for fear of thee,
And I do dread thy judgments sore.
[16] Q
121 Quite to oppressors leave not me.
I judgment do and righteousness.
122 For good thy servant's surety be,
Let not the proud ones me oppress.
123 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail,
As also for thy righteous word.
124 In mercy with thy servant deal,
And thy laws learning me afford.
125 I am thy servant make me wise,
Thy testimonies for to know.
126 Time for thee Lord to work it is;
For men thy law do overthrow.
127 Therefore do I thy precepts love
Above gold, yea the finest gold.
128 All false ways hate I, for above
All things thy laws most right I hold.
[17] R
129 Right wondrous, Lord, thy records be
Therefore my soul keeps them with care,
130 Light thy words entrance gives to me,
Them prudent makes that simple are.
131 With open mouth I panted for
Thy laws, I longed for the same;
132 Look on me, and such grace confer
As thou on them that love thy name.
133 Guide by thy words my steps, and let
No wickedness bear rule in me.
134 From men's oppression free me set,
And keeper of thy laws I'll be.
135 Thy face let on thy servant shine,
And me to learn thy statutes cause.
136 For water floods flow from mine eyes
Because men do not keep thy laws.
[18] S
137 Sincerely just art thou O Lord,
Thy judgments upright are also.
138 The precepts which thou dost record
Are right; yet very faithful too.
139 My zeal consumed me, for why?
Mine enemies thy word forget,
140 Thy word is pure exceedingly,
Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 Small am I and despis'd therefore'
Let thy commands forget not I.
142 Thy justice is for evermore
The same, thy law is verity.
143 On me seiz'd anguish and distress,
Yet thy commands delight me give
144 Aye lasts thy records righteousness;
Make thou me wise, and I shall live.
[19] T
145 To thee with all my heart I cry

May keep thy testimonies still.
147 The dawning I prevent and cry:

148 Mine eyes prevent the watch, that I
Upon thy word may meditate.
149 My voice Lord of thy mercy hear,
After thy judgments quicken me.

[20] V
153 View mine affliction, and me free:
For I thy law do not forget.

Since they do for thy laws ne'er strive:
156 Thy tender mercies Lord great are;
After thy judgments me revive.
157 Great my pursuing enemies:
Yet nothing from thy laws I swerve.
158 I sinners saw, was griev'd likewise,
For they thy word do not obfsrve.
159 See Lord, thy precepts love do I:
Grant of thy grace that live I may.
160 Thy word, from first, is verity,
And all thy judgments right for aye.
[21] W
161 Without cause princes do me wound,
But of thy word my heart's in awe,

So I rejoice do in thy law.

But dearly love thy law do I.
164 Sev'n times a day I praise thee, for
The judgments of thy equity.
165 Who love thy law, great peace have they,
And such shall find no stumbling stone.
166 Lord, I for thy salvation stay;
And thy commandments I have done.
167 My soul thy testaments doth keep,
And them abundantly love I.
168 Thy records and thy laws I keep,
For all my ways before thee lie.
[22] Y
160 Yield Lord my cry t' approach thy face
X As thou haft spoke, me prudent make
170 To thee let my request for grace
Approach: free me for thy word's sake.
171 My lips shall utter praise when thou
Thy statutes hast made known to me.
172 And forth thy word my tongue shall show,
For all thy precepts righteous be.
173 To help me let thy hand be near,
For thy commandment chose have I.
174 I long for thy salvation dear,
Lord, and my joys in thy law lie.
175 Let my soul live to shew thy praise,
And let thy judgments give me aid.
176 Because I have not left thy laws
Thy servant seek like lost sheep stray'd.

For their deceit's a lie.
119 Earth's lewd ones off as dross thou throw'st,
Thy laws I love therefore,
120 My flesh doth quake for fear of thee:
I dread thy judgments fore.
[16] Ayn
121 I Judgment do and right, leave me
To none who me distress:
122 Be surety for thy servants good,
Lest proud ones me oppress.
123 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail.
For thy just word also.
124 In mercy with thy servant deal,
Thy statutes make me know.
125 To me thy servant skill afford:
Thy records for to know.
126 It's time for thee to work, O Lord,
For men thy law o'erthrow.
127 Therefore thy laws I love much more
Than gold, yea finest gold.
128 All false ways hate I, therefore all
Thy laws all right I hold.
[17] Phe
129 For that thy, records wondrous be
My soul them keeps with care.
130 The entrance of thy words gives light,
Makes wise who simple are.
131 My mouth I open'd, and did pant
In longing for thy law.
1132 As thou dost those who love thy name,
See me, and mercy show.
133 My steps guide by thy word, o'er me
O let not sin bear sway.
13A From man's oppression set me free,
So I'll thy laws obey.
135 Thy face let on thy servant shine,
Thy laws to learn me cause.
136 The water-floods flow from mine eyes,
For men keep not thy laws.
[18] Tsaddi
137 Thou Lord art righteous, and upright
Thy judgments are also.
138 The records thou command'st are right,
And very faithful too.
339 My zeal consumed me because
Thy words my foes forget.
140 Thy word's moll pure: therefore thereon
Thy servant's love is set.
141 Small I and flighted am: thy laws
Forget yet do not I.
142 Thy justice is the same for aye,
And thy laws verity.
143 Distress and anguish on me seiz'd,
Thy laws my joys yet be.
144 Thy righteous records last for aye,
That I may live, teach me.
[19] Coph
145 Cry'd with whole heart I have, hear me,
Lord keep thy laws I will.
146 1 cried have to thee, save me,
And I'll thy laws fulfil:
147 The dawning I prevent and cry,
Thy word 1 hoped on.
148 Mine eyes prevent the watch, that I
Might muse thy word upon.
149 As thou art kind, my voice, Lord, hear,
As just, so quicken me.
150 Who follow mischief they draw near,
Far from thy law they be.
151 Jehovah thou art near, and all,
Thy precepts truth are they.
152 I of thy records knew of old,
Thou didst them found for aye.

153 Regard my trouble, and me free,
For I thy law record.
154 Plead thou my cause, deliver me,
Revive me by thy word.
166 Salvation's from the wicked far,
For thy laws seek not they.
156 Great are thy mercies, Lord, revive
Me in thy judgments way.
157 My troubles many and my foes ;
Nought from thy laws I stept.
158 I sinners saw,and griev'd because
Thy word they have not kept.
159 See how I love thy precepts, Lord,
Revve me by thy grace.
160 Thy word from first is truth, and all
Thy judgments just always.
[21] Shin
161 Strong princes causeless me pursue,
Thy word yet awes my mind.
162 Yea, in thy word I joy as one
That doth great riches find.
163 I lying hate, and do abhor,
But love thy law most dear.
164 Sev'n times a day I praise thee, for
Thy judgments just which are.
165 Great peace have they who love thy law,
And stumbhng-block have none.
166 Lord, I for thy salvation hope,
And thy commands have done.
167 My soul thy testimonies keeps,
My love to them is dear.
168 Thy rules and laws I kept, for all
My ways before thee are.
[22] Thau
169 To thee, Lord, let my cry come near,
Wise by thy word make me.
170 Thee let my humble suit approach,
Me by thy word set free.
171 Thy statutes when thou hast me taught,
My lips praise utter shall.
172 Thy word my tongue shall forth resound,
For just thy laws are all.
173 Thy precepts since I chosen have;
O help me by thy might.
174 Thy saving health I long for Lord,
Thy law is my delight.
175 Thy praise to show let my soul live,
Thy judgments help me let
176 Thy servant seek like lost sheep stray'd,
Thy laws Til not forget.

A Prayer of David
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PLXXXVIa (1742) First Line: Bow down, O Lord, thine ear Lyrics: 1 Bow down O Lord thine ear,
Hear me attentively:
For I am poor afflicted sore,
And needy too am I.
2 In safety keep my soul
For merciful am I:
My God save thou thy servant now,
That doth on thee rely.
3 Jehovah merciful
O be thou unto me;
Because that I aloud do cry
Thro' all the day to thee.
4 O make thy servant's soul
That it may joyful be?
Because that I, O Lord on high
Do lift my soul to thee.
5 For thou O Lord art good,
To pardon prone also:
And to them all on thee that call
In mercy rich art thou.
6 Jehovah to thine ear,
O let my prayer have place,
Attend unto the voice also
Of my request for grace.
7 I'th day of my distress
To thee I will complain:
Because that thou wilt me unto
An answer give again.
8 Among the gods O Lord,
Like thee not any be;
And no works are that may compare
With those perform'd by thee.
[2]
9 The nations all O Lord,
Whom thou hast made the same
Shall come adore ev'n thee before
And glorify thy name.
10 Because thou mighty art,
The things that thou hast done
They wondrous are, and do declare
That thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way O Lord,
Walk in thy truth will I:
Thine holy name to fear the same
Mine heart in union tie.
12 With all mine heart I will
O Lord my God, thee praise.
And also I will glorify
Thine holy name always.
13 Because that unto me
Thy mercy doth excell;
My soul set free hath been by thee,
Ev'n from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the violent troops
And proud against me rise:
My soul seek they to take away,
Nor have thee in their eyes.
15 But Lord, a tender God
Thou art and gracious.
Lon suff'ring too, in mercy thou,
And truth art plenteous.
16 O turn to me thy face,
And on me mercy have:
Thy strength give thou thy servant now,
Thy handmaid's son O save.
17 Show me a sign for good;
And let my haters see?
And be asham'd: because Lord, thou
Dost help and comfort me.

A Prayer of David
By water floods of Babylon
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PCXXXVIIb (1742) Lyrics: 1 By water floods of Babylon,
There when we sat us down;
We mourned bitterly when we
Dear Sion thought upon.
2 Our harp in midst of her we did
Hang willow trees among.
3 For there they us who captive led
Requir'd of us a song.
Who laid us waste, ask'd mirth, sing us
A Sion's song do ye.
4 How in a land of strangers sing
Jehovah's song shall we?
5 O thou Jerusalem, if I
Of thee forgetful be:
Then let my right hand quite forget
Her own dexterity.
6 If I thee mind not, let my tongue
Not from my palate move:
If I set not Jerufalem
My chiefest joy above.
7 Remind, Lord, Edom's sons, who on
Jerusalem her day,
Raze it to her foundation,
Raze it again, said they.
8 Thou Babel's daughter must be waste,
That man shall happy be,
Who like as thou us served hast,
So recompenseth thee.
9 Yea happy he shall surely be,
Who strongly up doth take
Thy little ones, and on the stones
Doth them in pieces break. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English

Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXLVII (1742) First Line: Clap hands all people, shout for joy Lyrics: 1 Clap hands all people, shout for joy
To God with voice of singing mirth.
2 For dreadful is the Lord an high,
A king most great o'er all the earth.
3 To us the people he subdues,
And nations at our feet do lie.
For us our her'tage he will chuse;
His loved Jacob's glory high.
5 God is ascended with a shout,
Jehovah with the trumpet's noise.
6 Sing praises to our king with voice.
7 For God of ll the earth is king,
Praise him each understanding one.
8 Over the heathen God doth reign:
God sits upon his holy throne.

Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXIX (1742) First Line: Declare abroad the heavens do Lyrics: 1 Declare abroad the heavens do
The majesty of God;
And forth the firmament doth show
His handy work abroad.
2 Day speaks to day, night hath likewise
Knowledge to night declar'd.
3 There neither speech nor language is
Where their voice is not heard.
4 The coasts of all the earth throughout
Their line is gone unto;
The ends of all the world about,
Their words do reach unto.
5 A tabernacle he in those
hath pitched for the sun;
Who bridegroom like from's chamber goes
Glad giants race to run.
6 The utmost end of heavens fro
His course and compassing,
To th' ends thereof; from's heat also
There hidden is no thing.
[2]
7 Jehovah's law is perfect pure,
And doth the soul convert:
Jehovah's testimony sure
Makes wise the simple heart.
8 The statues of the Lord are right
And do rejoice the heart;
The Lord's command is pure, and light
Doth to the eyes impart.
9 Clean is Jehovah's awful fear,
And doth abide for aye:
The truth Jehovah's judgements are
And wholly right are they.
10 Than gold, than much refined gold
More to be prized far;
Than honey sweeter manifold,
And honey comb they are.
11 Thy servant he moreover is
Admonished from hence,
In keeping of the same likewise
Great is the recompence.
12 Who can his errors throughly know;
From secret faults cleanse me,
And from presumptuous sins also,
Keep thou thy servant free.
13 O let them never over me
Usurp dominion:
Then clear and upright shall I be
From great transgression.
14 Words of my mouth, thoughts of my heart,
Let acceptable be.
Lord in thy sight, my rock who art
And my redeemer free.

Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PCXXVII (1742) First Line: Except the Lord the house doth build Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord the house do build,
The builders work in vain.
Except the Lord the city keep
The watchman wakes in vain.
2 It's vain for you to rise betimes,
Watch late, to feed upon
The bread of griefs; sure he gives sleep
To his beloved one.
3 The fruitful womb is God's reward,
Children his heritage.
4 As arrows in a strong mans hand,
Are sons of youthful age.

They shall not in the gate be sham'd
In speaking with their foes. Scripture: Psalm 127 Languages: English
A Song of Degrees for Solomon
A Psalm of David
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXXXVII (1742) First Line: Fret not thy self because of them Lyrics: 1 Fret not thy self because of them
That evil workers be;
Nor envious be against the men
That work iniquity.
2 For even like unto the grass,
Cut quickly down are they;
And like unto the tender herb,
They wither shall away.
3 Upon Jehovah put thy trust,
And be thou doing good:
So shalt thou dwell within the land,
And faith shall be thy food.
4 See that thou set thy hearts' delight
Also upon the Lord:
And then the wishes of thine heart
To thee he will afford.
5 Rowl on the Lord thy way; trust him,
And he'll it bring to pass.
6 As light thy justice he'll bring forth,
Thy judgment at noon days.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and for him
With patience do thou stay;
Fret not thy self because of him
Who prospers in his way;
Nor at the man who brings to pass
The crafts he doth devise.
8 Cease ire and wrath, leave to do ill,
Thy self fret in no wise.
9 For evil doers shall be made
By cutting down to fall;
But those that wait upon the Lord,
The land inherit shall.
[2]
10 For yet a little while and then,
The wicked shall not be:
Yea thou shall diligently mark
His place and it not see.
11 But humble men th'inheritance
Shall of the earth possess;
Also they shall themselves delight
In multitude of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just
Gnashing at him his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him because
His Day at hand he seeth.
14 The wicked have drawn out their sword,
And bent their bow have they
To cast the poor and needy down,
To kill th' upright in way.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
Their bows shall broken be.
16 The just man's little better is,
Than wicked's treasury.
17 For th' arms of wicked shall be broke,
The Lord the just doth stay.
18 The Lord doth know upright men's days
And their lot is for aye.
19 They never shall ashamed be
In any time of ill;
And when the days of famine come,
Then shall they have their fill.
20 But wicked men, Jehovah's foes,
As lambs fat shall decay:
They shall consume, yea into smoke
They shall consume away.
[3]
21 The man ungodly borrow doth,
And never doth repay;
Whereas the just man mercy shows,
And freely gives away.
22 For such as of him blessed be,
The earth inherit shall:
And they that of him cursed are
By cutting down shall fall.
23 The footsteps of a godly man
Are ordered aright,
Ev'n by the Lord, and also he
Doth in his way delight.
24 Although he fall, yet shall he not
Be utterly down cast,
Because Jehovah with his hand
Doth yet uphold him fast.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
Yet have I never seen
The just man left, so that his seed
For bread have beggars been.
26 But ev'ry day he's merciful,
And lends: his seed is blest.
27 Depart from evil, and do good,
And ever dwell at rest.
28 Because the Lord doth judgment love,
His saints forsakes not he:
Kept ever are they; but cut off
The sinner's seed shall be
29 The just inherit shall the land,
And therein ever dwell.
30 The just man's mouth doth wisdom speak
His tongue doth judgment tell.
31 The law of his God is in's heart,
None of his steps shall stray.
32 The wicked watcheth for the just,
And seeketh him to slay.
33 Jehovah will not such an one
Leave up into his hand:
Nor any such will he condemn
When judge he doth stand.
[4]
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
And he shall thee exalt,
Th' earth to inherit, when cut off
The wicked see thou shalt.
35 The wicked man I have beheld
In might power to be;
And spreading so himself abroad
Like as a green bay-tree.
36 Nevertheless he past away,
And lo then was not he;
Moreover, I did seek for him,
But found he could not be.
37 Take notice of the perfect man,
And th' upright one attend?
Because that unto such a man
Peace is the latter end.
36 But such men as transgressors be
Together perish shall:
The latter end shall be cut off
Of Men ungodly all.
39 But the salvation of the just
Doth of Jehovah come:
He is their strength to them in times
That are most troublesome.
40 Yea help and free them will the Lord;
He shall deliver them
From wicked men, because that they
Do put their trust in him.

Of all the saints the praise.

Of Isra'l dear, his people near,
The Lord praise ye. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English
