the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the remotest seas!

6 Thou who fixest the mountains by thy power; and art girded with mighti

ness:

7 Thou who stillest the roaring of the seas, and the noise of their waves; and the turbulence of the peoples!

8 The inhabitants of the remotest parts of the earth stand in awe of the tokens of thy power thou makest the returns of morning and evening to sing for joy :

9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it; thou greatly enrichest it: by distributing the fullness of the waters, thou, O GOD! preparest its corn;

10 Thou waterest its furrows, and breakest its clods; thou moistenest it with showers, and blessest its increase.

11 Thou crownest the year with thy bounty; and thy clouds drop fatness:

12 They drop it upon the pastures of the desert; and the hills are begirt with. joy.

13 The mountains are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered with corn; they shout and sing for joy.

PSALM

PSALM LXVI.

SING Unto GOD with joyful melody, all ye earth; sing psalms unto the honour of his name: make his glory the subject of your praise.

2 Say unto GOD; "How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power, thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee.

3

"All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; and shall praise thy name."

4 Come, and see the works of GOD, who is awful in his conduct toward the sons of man.

5 He turned the sea into dry land, so that our forefathers went through the" waters on foot; for this let us rejoice in him.

6 He ruleth with his power for ever, and his eyes watch over the nations; therefore, let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

7 Praise our GOD, ye people! pro

claim his praise aloud.

8 It is he who preserveth our lives, and suffereth not our feet to slip.

9 Thou hast, indeed, tried us, O GOD! thou hast smelted us, as silver is smelted: 10 Thou broughtest us into a snare, and laidest an heavy load upon our loins.

11 Thou madest men to ride over our heads, and we have gone through fire and water; but, at length, thou hast brought us forth into a land plenteously refreshed with

streams.

12 I will enter thine house with sacrifices; and perform the vows, which, with open lips, my mouth uttered when I was in distress.

13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices with incense; I will sacrifice rams and oxen, and goats.

14 Come, and hearken, all ye who revere GOD, while I relate what he hath done for me.

15 I called unto him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue :

16 And if I had regarded iniquity in mine heart, JEHOVAH Would not have heard me.

17 But GOD did hear me, and listened to my supplication.

18 Praised, therefore, be GOD, who rejected

jected not my prayer; neither withdrew his mercy from me.

PSALM LXVII.

In the Evening prayer, p. 29.

PSALM LXVIII.

WHEN GOD ariseth, his enemies are scattered; and they, who hate him, flee before his face.

12 Like a drift of smoke, they are driven away like as wax melteth before the fire, so perish the wicked before the face of GOD:

3 While the righteous rejoice in his presence, and are transported with excess of joy.

4 Sing unto GOD; sing praise unto his name extol him, who rideth in the skies, by his name, JEHOVAH; and be joyful in his presence.

5 GOD, in his holy habitations, is the father of the fatherless, and the protector of widows.

6 GOD restoreth the solitary to their homes; yea, he releaseth the captives from their bonds: but the rebellious he leaveth to inhabit a barren land.

70 GOD! when thou formerly wentest forth before thy people; when thou marchedst through the wilderness :

8 The earth trembled, the heavens were dissolved; the clouds were dissolved into water:

The mountains melted at thy pre9 sence, o GOD! even Sinai itself melted at the presence of the GOD of Israel.

10 Thou, O GOD! didst send a copious rain to refresh thine exhausted inheritance: 11 Thy reviving presence dwelt among them; for thy goodness provided for the distressed.

12 JEHOVAH hath now given the subject of these glad tidings, concerning a numerous host.

13 The kings of those hosts have fled, they have fled; and the people at home shall share in the spoils.

14 What, though ye were placed between hostile ranks, between banners bearing the wings of a dove bedeck'd with silver, and whose pinions were streak'd with gold?

15 When the almighty dispersed the kings, then confusion, like snow, covered the image.
