And men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.]
PSALM 18.-3d Part. L. M. *]

Ver. 30, 31, 32, 46, &c. Rejoicing in God; or, salvation and triumph. 1 TUST are thy ways; and true thy word,

Who is a God beside the Lord ?

Or, where's a refuge like our God ?
2 'Tis he that girds me with his might,

Gives me his holy sword to wield;
And, while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
3 He lives, (and blessed be my Rock) :

The God of my salvation lives :
lhe dark designs of hell are broke ;

Sweet is the peace my Father gives. 4 Before the scoffers of the age

I will exalt my Father's name ;
Nor tremble at their mighty rage,

But meet reproach, and bear the shame. 5 To David and his royal seed

Thy grace forever shall extend;
Thy love to saints, in Christ their head,
Knows not a limit, nor an end.

PSALM 18.–1st Part. C. M. [*]
Victory and triumph over temporal enemies.

E love thee, Lord, and we adore ;

1 Wow is thine arm reveald;

Thou art our strength, our heavenly tower

Our bulwark and our shielt. 2 We fly to our eternal Rock,

And fiņd a sure defence ;

His holy name our lips invoke,

And draw salvation thence. 3 When God, our leader, shines in arms,

What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of his loud alarms,

The lightning of his spear?
4 He rides upon the winged wind,

And angels in array,
In millions wait, to know his mind,

And swift as flames obey.
5 He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke

Whole armies are dismay'd;
His voice, his frown, his angry look

Strikes all their courage dead.
6 He forms our generals for the field,

With all their dreadful skill,
Gives them his awful sword to wield,

And makes their hearts of steel. 7 [He arms our captains to the fight,

Though there his name's forgot; (He girded Cyrus with his might,

But Cyrus knew him not.) 8 Oft has the Lord whole nations blest

For his own church's sake;
The powers that give his people rest,

Shall of his care partake.]

PSALM 18.-20 Part. C. M. [*]

The conqueror's song.
TO

thine almighty arm we owe

The triumphs of the day;
Thy terrors, Lord, confound the for

And melt their strength away.

2 'Tis by thine aid our troops prevail,

And break united powers ;
Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale

The proudest of their towers.
S How have we chas'd them thro' the field,

And trod them to the ground, While thy salvation was our shield;

But they no shelter found !
la In vain to idol saints they cry,

And perish in their blood :
Where is a rock, so great, so high.

So powerful as our God ?
5 The Rock of Israel ever lives;

His name be ever blest;
'Tis his own arm the victory gives,

And gives his people rest.
6 On kings that reign as David did,

He pours his blessings down;
Secures their honours to their seed,

And well supports their crown.

PSALM 19.-1st Part. S. M. [*]

The books of nature and scripture.
FOR THE LORD'S-DAY MORNING.

EHOLD the lofty sky

1

And all his starry works on high

Proclaim his power abroad. 2 The darkness and the light

Still keep their course the same; While night to and day to night,

Divinely teack Lis namo.

3 In every different land

Their general voice is known;
They shew the wonders of his hand,

And orders of his throne. .
Ye christian lands, rejoice!

Here he reveals his word ;
We are not left to nature's voice

To bid us know the Lord.
5 His statutes and commands

Are set before our eyes ;
He puts his gospel in our hands,

Where our salvation lies.
6 His laws are just and pure ;

His truth without deceit:
His promises forever sure,

And his rewards are great. 7 [Not honey to the taste

Affords so much delight;
Nor gold that has the furnace pass'd

So much allures the sight. 8 While of thy works I sing,

Thy glory to proclain,
Accept the praise, my God, my King,

In my Redeemer's name.]

PSALM 19.-2d Part. S. M. [*] God's word most excellent ; or, sinuerity and

walchfulness.
FOR THE LORD'S-DAY MORNING.
1 EHOLD the morning sun

Begins his glorious way!
His beams through all the nations rub,

And life and light convey.

But where the gospel comes,

It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,

And gives the blind their sight. 3

How perfect is thy word!

And all thy judgments just ;
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,

And men securely trust.
4 My gracious God, how plain

Are thy directions givea!
O may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven.

PAUSE.
I hear thy word with love,

And I would fair obey ;
Send thy good Spirit from above,

To guide me, lest I stray. 6 () who can ever find

The errors of his ways ?
Yet with a bold presumptuous mind

I would not dare transgress 7 Warn me of every sin ;

Forgive my secret faults ;
And cleanse this guilty soul of mine,

Whose crimes exceed my thoughts. 8 While with my heart and tongue

I spread thy praise abroad,
Accept the worsbip and the song,
My Saviour and my God.

PSALM 19.-L. M. (*]
The books of nature ind of scripture compared ;

or, the glory and success of the gospel. 1

THE heavens declare thy glory, Lord ;
