M.DCCC.XXVIII. SELECT PORTIONS OF THE PSALMS OF DAVID, FROM THE Metre of Tate and BRADY. HW Psalm 1. C. M. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. By ill advice to walk! Where men profanely talk. His business and delight, And meditates by night. With timely fruit doth bend, All his designs attend. No lasting root shall find ; Like chaff before the wind. To bappiness they tend; Shall both iu ruin end, Psalm 5. C. M. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 11. Accept my secret pray'r; Will I for belp repair. And with the dawning day, To thee devoutly pray, Canst never Lord approve, All evil dost remove. With shouts their joy proclaim; And all that love thy name. Verse 1, 2, 9, 10, 11. I will my heart prepare ; Thy wond'rous works declare. Exalted pleasures bring : Triumphant praise I sing. God is a constant sure defence Against oppressing rage ; In our behalf engage. Will in his truth confide, That on his help relied. From Sion, his abode, Confess no other God. Psalm 13. C. M, Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. HO OW long wilt thou forget me, Lord ? Must I for ever mourn ? Oh! never to return ? And grief my heart oppress? And I have no redress? Restore thy wonted light, In everlasting night. 'Twas their own strength o'ercame; Permit not them that vex my soul To triumph in my shame. |
