That adversaries should be stilled
And vengeful foes restrained.

the wondrous heavens,
Thy handiwork on high,

in Thy regard
To hold so large a place,
And what the son of man, that Thou
Dost visit him in grace.

wisdom hath bestowed
A power well nigh divine;
With honor Thou hast crowned his head
With glory like to Thine.

subjected all to him,
And lord of all is he,

And all within the sea.

How excellent Thy Name.

Who will not trust Him and obey.

Depend on God alone,
Like Zion's mount abiding,
Shall ne'er be overthrown.
Like Zion's city bounded
By guarding mountains broad,
His people are surrounded
Forever by their God.

oppression
Shall hold unbroken sway,
Lest unto base transgression
The righteous turn away.
Thy favor be imparted
To godly men, O Lord;
Bless all that are pure-hearted,
The good with good reward.
3.The men who

Forsaking truth and right,
With wicked men shall perish,
God will their sin requite.
From sin Thy saints defending,
Their joy, O Lord, increase
With mercy never ending
And everlasting peace.

Though wasting grief I know;
Thy servant's days are few, O Lord;
When wilt Thou judge my foe?

disdainful of Thy law,
Entrap me wrongfully;
O Thou, Whose law is just and true,
Help and deliver me.

consumed, yet from Thy law
I have not turned away;
In lovingkindness give me strength,
That I may still obey.

In ecstasy we sang for joy,
By grace and wondrous love restored.

greatly blessing us
Before the world His power displays;
Yea, great things God has done for us,
And filled our hearts with joy and praise.

us by Thy grace,
Revive and quicken all our powers,
As failing streams are made to flow,
Replenished by abundant showers.

bearing precious seed
May weep as in his toil he grieves,
But he shall come again with joy
In harvest time with golden sheaves.

The everlasting God.

Above the raging sea.

spoken o'er and o'er,

And Thou according to his work
Dost every man reward.

hast dealt well with Thy servant,
Thy promise is faithful and just;
Instruct me in judgment and knowledge,
For in Thy commandments I trust.
2.
But now Thy good word I obey;
O Thou, Who art holy and gracious,
Now teach me Thy statutes, I pray.
3.The proud have
assailed me with slander;
The precepts shall still be my guide;
Thy law is my joy and my treasure,
Though sinners may boast in their pride.

been for my profit,
That I to Thy statutes might hold;
Thy law to my soul is more precious
Than thousands of silver and gold.

my joyful heart
Will give Thee praise forevermore,
For rich in grace to me Thou art,
My soul from death Thou didst restore.
2.O God, the
proud against me rise,
The wicked who delight in strife;
They set not Thee before their eyes,
They seek to take away my life.
3.In Thee, O
Lord, all grace is found,
Thy people shall Thy mercy know;
Thy truth and goodness still abound,
To wrath and anger Thou art slow.
4.In mercy turn
and look on me,
Thy servant true, Thy chosen one;
Let me Thy great salvation see,
And strengthen me my course to run.
5.Some token of
Thy love bestow,
Which they who hate me now may see;
Let all, O Lord, be brought to know
That Thou dost help and comfort me.
