O sing a new song to the Lord
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PXCVIII (1758) Lyrics: 1 O sing a new song to the LORD;
for wonders he hath done,
His right hand and his holy arm,
the victory have won.
2 His great salvation to the world,
JEHOVAH hath made known;
And to the nations all abroad,
his righteousness hath shown.
3 His mercy to his Isra'ls house
and truth, remembers He;
And now the ends of all the earth
Our God's salvation see.
4 O, to JEHOVAH all the earth,
make ye a joyful noise;
With raised voices shout aloud,
sing praises and rejoyce.
5 With tuneful harps, and hymns of praise,
now to JEHOVAH sing.
6 With trumpets and loud cornets shout,
before the LORD the King.
7 Let the sea rise, and roar for joy,
and all that is therein;
The world and all who therein dwell,
let them be joyful seen.
8 Let the floods clap their lifted hands,
their waves to praise employ;
And let the mountains spring aloft,
as leaping all for joy;
9 Before the LORD: for lo he comes
the earth, as judge to try;
With justice He'll the people judge,
the world with equity.
Scripture: Psalm 98 Languages: English
O sing a new song to the Lord
O sing ye loudly to the Lord
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PXCVI (1758) Lyrics: 1 O sing ye loudly to the LORD
new songs of sacred mirth;
O sing ye praises to the LORD,
all people through the earth,
2 O cheerfully sing to the LORD,
and bless his sacred name;
And his salvation ev'ry day
to all the world proclaim.
3 His glory in Himself and works,
among the nations show;
His works that are most marvellous
let all the people know.
4 For great, JEHOVAH is indeed,
and greatly prais'd to be;
Above all GODS to be ador'd,
and to be fear'd is He.
5 For of the heathen ail the Gods*
vain and base idols are;
But by the LORD, whom we adore,
the heav'ns created were.
6 Glory and comely majesty
appear before his face,
Excelling pow'r with beauty join'd
within his holy place.
7 O to the LORD ye people yield,
and all of ev'ry tribe;
All glory to JEHOVAH yield,
and mighty pow'r ascribe.
8 The glory to JEHOVAH give,
that to his name is due;
Come ye into his courts, and bring
an offering with you.
9 Worship the LORD in his abode,
his beauteous, holy place;
And let the universal earth
tremble before his face.
10 Thro' nations say, JEHOVAH reigns,
the world confirm'd shall be;
It shall not move, but righteously
the people judge will He.
11 O let the heav'ns at this be glad,
and let the earth rejoyce;
The sea and fulness of the same
with roaring make a noise.
12 O let the fields and all therein
with joyful triumph sing;
Then all the trees throughout the woods
with shouts of joy shall ring.
13 Before the LORD; for lo He comes,
He comes the earth to try;
He'll judge his people with his truth,
the world with equity.
Scripture: Psalm 96 Languages: English
O sing ye loudly to the Lord
O sing ye HALLELUJAH now
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCXXXV (1758) Lyrics: 1 O sing ye HALLELUJAH now,
And praise JEHOVAH's holy name;
O all ye servants of the LORD,
His praises all abroad proclaim.
2 Ye who within the house do stand,
Wherein the LORD has his abode;
And in the court-yards of his house,
Who is by covenant our God.
3 Sing HALLELUJAH; for the LORD
Is good: sing praises to his name;
For it is sweet to be employ'd
His praife in singing to proclaim.
4 For the eternal JAH hath chose,
Jacob for his propriety;
And his peculiar treasure hath,
He taken Israel to be.
5 For well we know, the LORD is great,
And that this sov'reign Lord of ours
Transcends all that are called Gods,
And reigns o'er all created powers.
6 In heav'n and earth the LORD hath done,
Whatever his own mind did please;
In the deep caverns of the earth,
And in the great and swelling seas.
7 From the wide surface of the earth
He makes the vapours to arise;
He makes the lightning for the rain,
And winds brings from his treasuries.
[2 Part]
8 Egypt's first born, both man and beast
9 He slew: and wondrous tokens He
On Pharaoh and his servants sent,
O Egypt in the midst of thee.
10 Great nations smote, great kings he slew,
11 Sihon, who was of Hashhbon king,
And Og of Bashan; and to nought
All Canaan's kingdoms he did bring.
12 And gave their land an heritage,
To his own people Israel.
13 O LORD, eternal is thy name,
LORD, endless thy memorial,
14 JEHOVAH will his people judge,
And for his servants turn again.
15 The heathen idols silver are
And gold; the handy work of men.
16 Mouths have they, yet they cannot speak;
And they have eyes, but never saw;
17 Ears have they, yet they nothing hear;
Their mouths no breath can ever draw.
18 Such senseless flocks are they themselves,
Who did these senseless idols frame;
And such are all who to them pray,
And put their confidence in them.
19 O house of Isr'el bless the LORD:
The LORD bless--who of Aaron's are:
20 The LORD, O house of Levi bless:
The LORD bless ye, the LORD who fear.
21 From Zion-hill his sacred seat,
O let JEHOVAH blessed be;
Who dwells within Jerusalem:
O sing, sing HALLELUJAH ye. Scripture: Psalm 135 Languages: English
O sing ye HALLELUJAH now
O thank the LORD for he is good
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCXXXVI (1758) Lyrics: 1 O thank the LORD; for he is good,
For ever are his mercies sure:
2 Thanks give ye to the God of God's;
His mercies evermore endure.
3 Thanks give ye to the Lord of Lords:
For ever are his mercies sure:
4 Him who alone does wonders great;
His mercies evermore endure.
5 To Him whose wisdom made the heav'ns;
For ever are his mercies sure:
6 Who o'er the waters spread the earth;
His mercies evermore endure.
7 To Him who made great lights to shine;
For ever are his mercies sure.
The sun to guide and rule the day,
His mercies evermore endure.
9 The moon and stars to rule the night;
For ever are his mercies sure.
10 Who the first born of AEgypt smote;
His mercies evermore endure.
11 Who from among them Isr'el brought;
For ever are his mercies sure.
12 With a strong hand and stretch'd out arm;
His mercies evermore endure.
13 Who the red sea asunder clave;
For ever are his mercies sure.
14 And thro' the midst made Isr'el go;
His mercies evermore endure.
15 But there drown'd Pharoah and his host;
For ever are his mercies sure.
16 His people thro' the desart led,
His mercies evermore endure.
17 To Him who mighty kings did smite;
For ever are his mercies sure.
18 And famous kings in battle slew;
His mercies evermore endure.
19 King Sihon of the Amorites;
For ever are his mercies sure.
20 And Ogg of bashan mighty king;
His mercies evermore endure.
21 And gave their land an heritage:
For ever are his mercies sure.
22 To his dear servant Israel;
His mercies evermore endure.
23 Who minds us in our low estate;
For ever are his mercies sure.
24 And who redeems us from our foes,
His mercies evermore endure.
25 Who to all flesh gives proper food;
For ever are his mercies sure.
26 O to the God of heav'n give thanks,
His mercies evermore endure. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English
O thank the LORD for he is good
O that thou as my brother wert
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #SSVIII (1758) Lyrics: The Church:
1 O that Thou as my brother wert,
sucking my mother's breasts!
I would Thee find abroad and kiss,
and none should me disgrace:
2 I'd lead Thee to my mother's house,
where skill she would me show:
spic'd wine of my pomgranate juice
to drink I'd make Thee too.
33 His soft left hand should underneath
my ravish'd neck intwine;
His right hand should around me bend,
as one most dearly mine.
4 O daughters of Jerusalem,
I charge you make no noise,
To wake or to disturb my Love,
till He shall please to rise.'
[Daughters of Jerusalem]
5 But who is this that comes up now
out of the wilderness,
Leaning on her Beloved one?
a pleasing sight is this!
Christ to the Church:
Thence, where thy mother thee did bear,
beneath the apple-tree,
Where she with pain had brought thee forth,
ev'n thence I raised thee.
The Church:
6 O set me then as a dear seal
upon thy very heart;
As a seal fix'd upon thine arm,
that we may never part!
For heav'nly love as strong as death;
and no relenting knows,
No more than the devouring grave;
like burning coals it glows:
7 It's flames are like the flames of JAH,
which many waters high
Can never quench, nor flowing floods
can drown, or e'r destroy.
And if the wealthiest man on earth
wou'd for thy love of me
Give all the substance of his house,
it quite despis'd shou'd be.
8 But we've a little sister fair,
whose breasts are not yet grown:
The day when su'd for she shall be,
what shall for her be done?
Christ:
9 Is she firm as a wall, we'll build
on her silver tow'r:
Or as an open door expos'd;
with cedar boards secure.
The Church:
10 Did He not see me like a wall?
my breasts as tow'rs to rise?
O then like one who favour found
appear'd I in his eyes!
11 A vineyard in a fruitful soil
had Solomon; and there
The vineyard leafed out to them
who vineyard-keepers were
Each one a thousand silverlings
for it's rare fruit repays.
12 My vineyard is before mine eyes
and in my view always.
Thy part, Solomon to Thee
a thousand justly bares;
And they who keep the fruit thereof
two hundred have for theirs.
13 O thou who in the gardens dwel'st!
they who companions are,
To thy delightful voice attend:
O cause Thou me to hear!
14 Make haste, O my Beloved one,
like a swift roe to me;
And like a fawn of harts upon
the spicy mountains be!
Scripture: Song of Solomon 8 Languages: English
O that thou as my brother wert
Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the House to kill him
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PLIX (1758) First Line: O Thou my God, deliver me Lyrics: 1 O Thou my God, deliver me
from all mine enemies;
And raise me up above all those
who up against me rise.
2 Do thou deliver me from them
who work iniquity;
And do thou save me from the men
of blood and cruelty.
3 For lo, they for my soul lay wait:
the mighty men combine
Against me, LORD, not for my sin,
nor any fault of mine.
4 They run and ready make themselves,
for no offence in me:
Bot O do Thou behold, and rise,
and meet me speedily.
5 Awake therefore, LORD GOD of hosts,
Thou God of Israel,
To judge the nations: favour none
who impiously rebel. (Selah)
6 At ev'ry ev'ning they return,
and like the rav'nous hound,
They make a noise on ev'ry side,
and range the city round.
7 Behold they belch out of their mouths:
within their lips are swords:
'For who is he that hears us speak?'
are their disdainful words.
8 Yet Thou, O LORD< wilt laugh at them,
the heathen all deride.
9 But GOD my strength is, and my tow'r,
and in Thee I confide.
[2 Part]
10 The God of all my mercies will
prevent and succour me;
And GOD will give me on my foes
my just desire to see.
11 Them slay not, lest thy people should
forget thy favour soon:
But by thy pow'r, O Lord, our shield,
disperse and bring them down.
12 Because their mouths and lips abound
with sins; thou wilt surprize,
And take them in their pride, who speak
such curses and such lies.
13 Thou wilt consume them in thy wrath,
and make them understand,
That GOD rules over all the earth,
who rules in Jacob's land. (Selah.)
14 When ev'ning comes shall they return;
and like a rav'nous hound,
A discontented noise shall make,
and range the city round.
15 With hunger they shall roam about,
in seeking food to eat;
And murmur as their hunger grows,
and howl for want of meat.
16 But ev'ry morn I'll sing thy pow'r
thy mercy loud confess;
Who art my refuge, and my tow'r,
in days of my distress.
17 Therefore to Thee, O Thou my strength,
I praise will ever sing:
For GOD is my high tow'r, the God,
whence all my mercies spring. Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English
Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the House to kill him
O thou, my soul, Jehovah bless for thou art great
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCIV (1758) Lyrics: 1 O Thou my soul, JEHOVAH bless;
for Thou art great and high,
O LORD my God, with honour cloath'd,
and comely majesty.
2 With shining robes of purest light
Thou dost thy self array;
And like a curtain to thy throne
Thou dost the heav'ns display.
3 His chamber-beams on waters lays,
and clouds his chariot makes,
And on the wings of mighty winds
his steps serenely takes.
4 His angels active spirits makes,
who glad before Him stand;
His ministers as lightning fly
to compass his command,
5 The deep foundations of the earth
so firmly did he lay,
That never From their fixed place
shall they be mov'd away.
6 A$ with a robe Thou o'er the earth
didst spread the spacious flood:
Above the mountains highest heads,
the mighty waters flood.
7 But then at thy rebuke they fled,
they dare no longer stay,
And at thy thunders dreadful voice
they hasted quick away.
8 As down they rush, the mountains rise,
the vallies sink below;
And to the deeps Thou mad'ft for them
tumultuously they flow.
9 There hast Thou set their certain bound,
which they may not pass o'er;
That they to overwhelm the earth
may turn again no more.
[2 Part]
10 He sends the springs and streaming rills
along the vales to glide;
Which running all among the hills,
refresh on every side.
11 Thence drink to the field-beasts he gives,
their thirst wild asses slake:
12 And on their bord'ring boughs the birds
their sweetest musick make.
13 From his high chambers plenteous stores
He waters all the hills;
And with the fruit of those his works
the earth He richly fills.
14 For beasts He makes the grass to grow,
and herbs for human use;
He makes the earth for ev'ry one
their various food produce.
15 To glad man's heart He makes the earth
to bring forth grapes for wine;
Heart-strengthning bread, and suppling oyl
to make his face to shine.
16 JEHOVAH's great and lofty trees,
with sap thence filled are;
The cedars of mount Lebanon,?
which He hath planted there.
17 Upon their branches cheerful birds
quite fearless build their nest;
And lodg'd aloft on stately firs
the storks securely rest.
18 The tow'ring mountains for wild goats
places of refuge are;
The clefts of rocks for feebler tribes,
who make their dwelling there.
19 The changing moon He constitutes
the seasons forth to show;
The sun his time of going down
exactly makes to know.
20 Thou dost the earth with darkness spread,
and night succeeds the day;
When wild beasts creeping from the wood«,
are bold thro' fields to stray.
21 Young lions then range here and there,
and hunt for prey abroad:
But when they find no prey, they roar,
and call for meat to God.
22 But when the sun begins to rise
and makes the shades to fly,
They all retire to hide themselves
and close in dens they lie.
23 Then man goes forth with chearfulness
his labours to begin;
And plies his work throughout the day,
till evening calls him in.
[3 Part]
24 How various are thy works, O Lord
and With what wisdom made!
Thy riches fill the earth within,
and ev'n all over spread.
15 So is this great and spacious sea,
where swarms of creatures creep;
And shoals of fish both small and great,
which traverse through the deep.
26 There sail the ships amidst the waves,
[thy winds give them their way.]
And there's the great Leviathan,
Thou mad'st therein to play.
27 All these on Thee submissive wait,
and on thy care depend,
That Thou their vigour to renew,
may'st food in season send.
28 That which Thou kindly giv'st to them
they gather for their food;
Thy lib'ral hand Thou op'nest wide,
and they are fill'd with good.
29 But when from them Thou hid'ft thy face,
they troubled are and mourn;
Thou tak'st away their breath, they die,
and to their dust return.
30 Thou send'st thy spirit forth, and we
a new creation view;
And with fresh animals the earth
dost constantly renew.
[4 Part]
31 The glory of JEHOVAH shall
last to eternity:
JEHOVAH shall in all his works
rejoyce exceedingly.
32 If on the earth He turns his eye,
it trembles at his look:
If He the mountains does but touch,
they rise into a smoke.
33 I'll to the LORD sing chearfully
throughout my life always;
Yea while I have my being, I
will to my God sing praise.
34 With meditations upon Him
I shall be sweetly fed;
And ever in JEHOVAH I
shall be exceeding glad.
35 Sinners from earth shall be consum'd,
no more the wicked be:
O thou my soul JEHOVAH bless:
sing HALLEUJAH, ye.
Scripture: Psalm 104 Languages: English
O thou, my soul, Jehovah bless for thou art great
A Song of Degrees
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCXXIII (1758) First Line: O Thou who in the heavens dost dwell Lyrics: 1 O Thou who in the heavn's dost dwell,
I lift mine eyes to Thee.
2 Behold, as servants eyes intent
their masters hand to see;
As maids eyes to their mistress hand;
to Thee our eyes are so;
To Thee the LORD our God, till Thou
wilt mercy on us show.
3 O LORD, be merciful to us,
to us, O gracious be!
For filled with contempt and scorn
exceedingly are we.
4 Our souls are fill'd exceedingly
with scoffs of men at ease;
And with the scorns of proud men who
from scoffing never cease. Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English
A Song of Degrees
O to Jehovah give ye thanks, and call
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCV (1758) Lyrics: 1 O To JEHOVAH give ye thanks,
and call upon his name;
Among the people show his deeds
and spread abroad his fame.
2 To Him with raised voices sing,
sing psalms to Him with joy:
In telling ail his wondrous works
your grateful tongues employ.
3 To glory in his holy name
with due respect accord:
And let the hearts of all rejoyce
who humbly seek the LORD.
4 Seek ye the LORD mod earnestly,
his saving pow'r implore:
O seek the shinings of his face,
and seek them evermore!
5 Recall to mind what He hath wrought,
each admirable deed,
His wonders, and the judgments which
did from his mouth proceed.
[2 Part]
6 O ye the seed of Abraham,
his servant and his friend,
And ye the chosen race who from
his Jacob dear descend.
7 JEHOVAH the Almighty is
by covenant our God:
And his most righteous judgments are
in all the earth abroad.
8 His covenant He ever minds,
the word He did command,
Even to a thousand ages down
unshaken still to stand.
9 The covenant which first He made
with faithful Abraham;
And then to Isaac with an oath
did He renew the same;
10 And then to Jacob for a law,
He made it firm and sure,
A covenant to Israel
which ever should endure.
11 Wherein He said, 'I will to you
'the land of Canaan give,
'The lot of your inheritance,
'where you and your's shall live.'
12 And when in number they were small
against their foes to stand;
Yea at the first but very few,
and strangers in the land;
13 When they thro' various nations went,
from realm to realm remov'd;
14 He suffer'd none to do them wrong,
but Kings for them reprov'd.
15 He said to those who sat on thrones,
let no presumptuous arm
Dare touch my dear anointed ones,
nor do my prophets harm.
[3 Part]
16 He call'd a famine on the land,
and break the staff of bread.
17 But he before had sent a man
by whom they should be fed:
Joseph was into Egypt sold,
and there a slave was made;
18 Whose feet with fetters hurt, his soul
was pierc'd, in irons laid.
19 Till in due time the blessed word
of inspiration came,
A revelation from the LORD
that try'd and clear'd his name:
20 And then the King commandment gave,
that he enlarg'd should be;
The sov'reign of the nation sent
and set him fully free.
21 Yea made him ruler of his house,
the chief of all his land;
And all the substance he possess'd
committed to his hand.
22 With full commission, at his will
his princes to controul,
And teach his wisest senators
the wisdom how to rule.
23 His father Isr'el with his house
then into Egypt came;
And Jacob was a sojourner
within the land or Ham.
[4 Part]
24 His people then exceedingly
He multiplied there,
And made them mightier than those
who their oppressors were.
25 Their hearts then turn'd, that they to hate
his people, did arise;
And with his servants craftily
to deal, did they devise.
26 His servant Moses then He sent,
Aaron his chosen too;
27 Who did within the land of Ham
His signs and wonders show.
28 He darkness sent, and made it dark:
all things his word obey:
29 He turn'd their waters into blood,
and He their fish did slay.
30 Great swarms of frogs spread o'er their land;
Yea chambers of their kings:
31 His word ail sorts of flies and lice
in all their borders brings.
32 For rain he pour'd down storms of hail;
flames on their land he sent:
33 When He their vines and fig-trees smote,
yea all their trees He rent.
34 He spake, and caterpillars came,
and locusts swarm'd around;
35 Which eat the herbs of all their fields,
and fruits of all their ground.
36 Then in one dreadful night He slew
their first-born thro' the land,
The chief of all their strength, ev'n by
a mighty angel's hand.
[5 Part]
37 But thence with gold and silver He
His people made to pass;
Nor had they one among their tribes
that faint 'or feeble was.
38 All Egypt was exceeding glad,
to see them thence depart;
So great a fear of Jacob's race,
had seiz'd on ev'ry heart.
39 By day He for a cov'ring spread
a cloud; and in the night
He made it like a shining fire,
to give them kindly light.
40 He brought them living quails for food
when flesh they ask'd to have;
And satisfy'd them with the bread
which then from heav'n He gave.
41 He open'd wide the flinty rock,
there gushed out a stream;
Which through the dry and desart land
in rivers follow'd them.
42 He on his holy promises,
and servant Abr'ham thought:
43 With joy his people, and with songs
He forth his chosen brought.
44 And then to them the pleasant lands
He of the heathen gave,
That of the nations labours they
inheritance might have.
45 That they his statutes might observe
in perfect purity;
And in full freedom keep his laws:
sing HALLELUJAH ye!
Scripture: Psalm 105 Languages: English
O to Jehovah give ye thanks, and call
The Goodness of the LORD
Hymnal: PHSS1758 #PCVII (1758) First Line: O to Jehovah give ye thanks Lyrics: [1 To Captives and Travellers.]
1 O To JEHOVAH give ye thanks,
because most good is He,
Because his mercy doth endure
ev'n to eternity.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD
thus of his mercy say;
Whom He hath from the hand of foes
redeem'd and brought away.
3 From all the lands wherein they were
dispersed and distress'd,
Hath gather'd from the north, the sea,
the east and from the west.
4 They wandred thro' the wilderness
in an untrodden way;
No habitable town they found,
nor place wherein to stay.
5 With hunger were they famished,
with thirst extremely dry;
Their souls were in them overwhelm'd.
and ready were to die.
6 But then they to JEHOVAH cry'd
in their extreme distress;
And He them set at liberty
from all their anguishes.
7 For then along He led them in
a right tho' trackless way,
Glad to a town inhabited,
where they might safely stay.
8 O that men would JEHOVAH praise
for his great goodness then,
And for his many wondrous works
wrought for the sons of men.
9 For he the thirsty, longing soul
refreshing satisfies:
And He the hungry soul with good
ev'n to the full supplies.
[2 To Prisoners]
10 Such as shut up, in darkness dwell,
and in death's shade abide;
Who are in great affliction bound,
and fast in irons ty'd.
11 Because against the words of God
they did as rebels rise,
And counsels of the highest One
did daringly despise:
12 Therefore with slavish labour He
their hearts brought wholly down:
Under their burthens down they fell,
and helper there was none.
13 But then they to JEHOVAH cry
in their extreme distress;
And He them sets at liberty,
from all their anguishes.
14 He them out of their darkness brought,
and from death's shade He took;
And all the chains which bound them fast
He all to pieces broke.
15 O that men would JEHOVAH praise
for his great goodness then,
And for his many wondrous works
wrought for the sons of men.
16 For He hath into shivers broke
the gates of solid brass,
Asunder cut the iron bars,
and let the pris'ners pass.
[3 To the Sick]
17 Fools for their bold iniquities,
and sins, afflicted are:
18 Their souls ail meat abhor, and they
to gates of death draw near.
19 But then they to JEHOVAH cry
in their extreme distress;
And He them sets at liberty
from all their anguishes.
20 He sent his word of sov'reign pow'r,
and to them healing gave;
And graciously deliver'd them
from death and from the grave.
21 O that men would JEHOVAH praise
for his great goodness then,
And for his many wondrous works
wrought for the sons of men.
22 And of their thanks the sacrifice
let them with pleasure bring;
And while his works they tell abroad,
with gladness shout and sing.
[4 To those who go to Sea]
23 All those who down into the seas
in floating ships descend,
And venture on the waters great
their business to attend;
24 They there JEHOVAH's mighty works
with waking eyes behold,
And in the moving deeps they see
his wonders manifold.
25 For He commands, and instantly
the stormy winds arise,
Which drive the swelling waves along,
and raise them to the skies.
26 They mount to heav'n, and down they row!
to dreadful depths again;
Their souls quite faint and melt away
with anxiousness and pain.
27 As drunkards stagger to and fro,
they reel, with tempests toss'd;
They are as men of sense bereft,
and all their skill is lost,
28 But then they to JEHOVAH cry
in their extreme distress,
And He then brings them speedily
from all their anguishes.
29 He turns the storm into a calm,
at his almighty will;
So that the raging waves thereof
grow peaceable and still.
30 Then they rejoyce, because at rest
they find themselves to be:
So them He to the haven brings,
which they had long'd to see.
31 O that men would JEHOVAH praise,
for his great goodness then
And for his many wondrous works,
wrought for the sons of men.
32 In all the congregations great
Him let them highly raise;
And where th' assembled elders sit
unite to spread his praise.
[5 To Husbandmen]
33 He to a desart turns a land,
where rivers did abound;
And where the springs of water flow'd,
into a thirsty ground.
34 A fruitful land to barrenness
He turns because of sin,
For the provoking wickedness
of those who dwell therein.
35 Then He the barren wilderness
with pools enriching fills,
And turns the dry and thirsty land
to springs and flowing rills.
36 And there for dwelling He a place
does to the hungry give;
Where they may social towns prepare,
and pleasantly may live.
37 Where they may fruitful vineyards plant,
and sow the fertile fields,
And may receive the rich increase,
which ev'ry harvest yields.
38 Yea He so greatly blesses them;
He multiplies their race,
And in his goodness suffers not
their cattle to decrease.
39 And when they are diminished,
and for their sins brought low.
Beneath oppression, tyranny
and grief are made to bow;
40 Then He on princes pours contempt,
and causes them to stray,
And wander in a wilderness
wherein they find no way.
41 But He from deep affliction makes
the poor on high to rise,
And like to multiplying flocks
He makes their families.
42 All this the righteous shall behold,
and will rejoyce to view:
But all, asham'd, shall stop their mouths,
who wickedness will do.
43 Whoso is wise and will observe
these things attentively,
He shall the goodness of the LORD
with pleasing wonder see.
