6 Happy are the people whose strength is in thee.

7 Who, passing the ways through the valley of Bacah, drink of the spring; whose pools are filled with water.

8 They travel from strength to strength, till every one of them appear before GOD in Zion.

9 O JEHOVAH! GOD of hosts! hear my prayer; bearken, O GOD of Jacob ! IO O GOD! our shield! behold and regard the face of thine anointed.

11 For one day spent in thy courts is better than a thousand upon earth.

12 Therefore, I would choose rather to be in the porch of the house of GOD, than to dwell within the tents of the wicked:

13 For JEHOVAH, the GOD of hosts, is a guard and a fhield: JEHOVAH bestoweth favour and honour; nor doth he with-hold any good thing from those who live an holy

life.

14 O JEHOVAH! GOD of hosts! happy is the man who placeth his trust in thee.

PSALM

PSALM LXXXV.

DOST thou become favourable unto the land, O JEHOVAH? Dost thou bring back the captive sons of Jacob?

2 Dost thou take away the iniquity of thy people? Hast thou forgiven all their sin?

3 Hast thou withdrawn all thy wrath? Dost thou turn from the fierceness of thine anger?

4 Restore us, O GOD! Our saviour, and stay thine indignation against us.

5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath through all generations?

6 Wilt not thou turn and revive us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

7 Show us thy mercy, O JEHOVAH! and grant us thy salvation.

8 I will hearken what JEHOVAH, Our GOD, will say, when he shall speak peace to such of his people, and his servants, as shall cease to return to folly.

9 Truly his saving power is near to those who fear him, when his glory dwell eth in our land:

10 Mercy and truth meet together; justice and peace embrace each other :

II Truth

11 Truth springeth from the earth; and justice looketh down from heaven :

12 Yea, JEHOVAH giveth prosperity; and our land yieldeth its increase:

13 The just prospereth in his presence; because he placeth his footsteps in the way of Jehovah.

PSALM LXXXVI.

INCLINE thine ear, O JEHOVAH ! and answer me; for I am afflicted and indigent.

2 Preserve my life, for I am merciful: O GOD! Save thy servant, who trusteth in thee.

3 Have compassion on me, O JEHOVAH! for I call upon thee all the day long.

4 Rejoice the heart of thy servant, for unto thee, O JEHOVAH! I raise my soul :

5 For thou, O JEHOVAH! art good and forgiving, and abounding in mercy toward all who call upon thee.

6 Hearken unto my prayer, O JEHOVAH! and attend to the voice of my supplication.

7 In the day of my distress I call upon thee, for thou answerest me..

8 Among

8 Among the GODS there is none, O JEHOVAH ! like unto thee; neither any of their works like unto thy works.

9 All nations, whom thou hast made, shall come, and shall worship before thee, O JEHOVAH! and glorify thy name :

10 For thou art great, and doest wonderful things; thou alone art GOD.

II Teach me thy way, O JEHOVAH! and I will walk in thy truth; mine heart shall rejoice in the fear of thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O JEHOVAH! my GOD! with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.

13 For thy mercy hath been great toward me; and thou hast delivered my life from the grave beneath.

14 The proud, o GOD! rise up against me, and an assembly of violent men seek my. life; they set not thee before them.

15 But thou, O JEHOVAH ! art a compassionate and gracious GOD; slow to anger, and abounding in mercy and truth:

16 Look towards me, and be gracious unto me; give strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Show in my favour a token of thy goodness,

goodness, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; and be convinced that thou, O JEHOVAH ! dost help and comfort

me.

PSALM LXXXVII.

THE foundations of Jerusalem are upon the holy mountains: JEHOVAH loveth the gates of Zion better than all the dwellings of Jacob.

2 Extraordinary things are related of thee, o thou city of GOD!

3 I will celebrate Rahab and Babylon for men of knowledge; lo! Philistia also, and Tyre with Chaldea:

"Such

4 But of Zion it shall be said, an one was born there; this man and that man were born in her; and this samedid lay her foundations.”

5 The most high, JEHOVAH, when he enrolleth the nations, shall record that such an one was born there :

6 Singers, as well as players on instruments, shall celebrate Zion; all their springs of praise shall be exhausted on thee.

PSALM LXXXVIII.

O JEHOVAH GOD of my salvation! I
