Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

And in keeping of them there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?

Cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous

sins;

Let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright,

And I shall be innocent from the great transgres

sion.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

Psalm xxiii.

HE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green

pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still

waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth

over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

LXV

THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S

Psalm xxiv.

HE earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon the

seas,

And established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,
Nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek thy face, O Jacob.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

He is the King of glory.

LXVI

THE LORD IS MY LIGHT

Psalm xxvii.

HE Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to

eat up my flesh,

They stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear:

Though war should rise against me,

In this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:

In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
He shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:

Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said

unto thee,

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

M

Hide not thy face far from me;

Put not thy servant away in anger:

Thou hast been my help;

Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my

salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me,

Then the Lord will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord,

And lead me in a plain path,

Because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord:

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine

heart:

Wait, I say, on the Lord.

GIVE UNTO THE LORD, O YE MIGHTY Psalm xxix.

IVE unto the Lord, O ye mighty,

Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name;

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters:

The God of glory thundereth:

The Lord is upon many waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful;

The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars;
Yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; The Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, And discovereth the forests:

And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. The Lord sitteth upon the flood;

Yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.

The Lord will give strength unto his people;
The Lord will bless his people with peace.

LXVIII

REJOICE IN THE LORD

Psalm xxxiii.

EJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous:
For praise is comely for the upright.
Praise the Lord with harp:

Sing unto him with the psaltery and
an instrument of ten strings.
Sing unto him a new song;

Play skilfully with a loud noise.

For the word of the Lord is right;

And all his works are done in truth.

He loveth righteousness and judgment:

The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an

heap:

He layeth up the depth in storehouses.
