PSALM 50. v. 10, 11, 14, 15, 23. Second Part. (C. M.) Obedience is better than Sacrifice.
I
Thus saith the Lord, ‘The spacious fields,‘And flocks and herds, are mine;
‘O'er all the cattle of the hills
‘I claim a right divine.
II
‘I ask no sheep for sacrifice‘Nor bullocks burnt with fire;
‘To hope and love, to pray and praise,
‘Is all that I require.
III
‘Call upon me when trouble's near,‘My hand shall set thee free;
‘Then shall thy thankful lips declare
‘The honour due to me.
IV
‘The man that offers humble praise,‘He glorifies me best;
‘And those that tread my holy ways
‘Shall my salvation taste.’
