seas:

2 For he hath founded it up- | -on the and prepared it up- | -on the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord or who shall rise up in his | holy | place?

4 Even he that hath clean hands, and a | pure | heart and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to de- | -ceive his neigh-bour.

5 He shall receive the blèssing | from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his sal--va--tion.

(XLVIII. LXVIII.)

PSALM xlviii.-Magnus Dominus.

REAT is the Lord, and highly to be prais-ed in the city of our God, even up-on his holy hill.

2 The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the joy of the whole earth: upon the north-side lieth the city of the great King; God is well known in her palaces, às a | sure | re- | -fuge.

3 For lo, the kings of the earth thered and gone | by to- | -ge- |-ther.

are ga

4 They marvelled to see such | things: they were astonished, and | suddenly cast down.

5 Fear came there upon them, and sor- |-row: as upon a woman | in her | tra- | -vail.

6 Thou shalt break the ships of the | sea: through the | east wind.

7 Like as we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our | God: God uphòldeth the | same for | e- |-ver. 8 We wait for thy loving-kindness, |O| God: in the midst of thy | tem- | -ple.

9 O God according to thy Name, so is thy pràise unto the world's end thy right hànd is full of righteous- | -ness.

10 Let the mount Sion rejoice, and the daughter of Judah be glad because of thy | judge-ments.

II Walk about Sion, and go ròund a- | -bout her and tell the towers there- | -of.

:

12 Mark well her bulwarks, set up her | hous-es: that ye may tell them that come | af- | -ter. 13 For this God is our God, for èver and | e-ver: hè shall be our guide | unto death.

PSALM lxviii.-Exurgat Deus.

LET God arise, and let his enemies be scat

ter--ed let them also that hate him

flee be- |-fore him.

2 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them a- | -way and like as wax melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly pèrish | at the presence of God.

3 But let the righteous be glàd and re- | -joice before God let them àlso be | merry and | joy-ful.

4 O sing unto God, and sing pràises | unto his Name magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse; praise him in his Name JAH, ànd re- | -joice be- | -fore him.

5 He is a Father of the fatherless, and defendeth the cause of the | wi- | -dows: even God in his holy habit--a- | -tion.

6 He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in an house, and bringeth the prisoners out of cap-|-tivi- |-ty: but letteth the runagates -tinue in scarce- --ness.
