Psalm XXXIV.

1

In ev'ry Season of my Days

The Lord, my God, I'll bless;
My Mouth shall never ceasing praise
In grateful Strains express.

2

My Soul deliver'd now from Fear,

Shall glory in the Lord;
The Humble shall rejoyce to hear,
That I am thus restor'd.

3

O, magnify the Lord with me,

Let us his Fame display:

4

I sought him in my Streights, and He

Chac'd all my Fears away.

5

To him the Righteous in Distress

Did look and flow apace;
He did his gracious Care express
And sav'd from Shame their Face.

6

This helpless Man, of me they said,

His Pray'r to God rehears'd;
He heard, the Troubles round him spread
In Mercy he dispers'd.

7

Angels that grasp immortal Arms

To guard the Righteous fly,
And to resist invading Harms,
Encamp'd around him ly.

69

8

Repeat your Tryals, taste and see

How good you'll find the Lord;
To all, who trust his Mercy, He
His Blessing will afford.

9

O ye, his Saints, the Almighty fear,

None worship Him in vain;
And few or none of Heart sincere,
Of Poverty complain.

10

Young Lyons often hungry roar,

And seek in vain their Food;
But they, who God in Truth adore,
Shall Want no needful Good.

Part II.

11

Come, Children, my Instruction hear,

And hearken to my Voice,
I'll teach you how the Lord to fear,
And make his Ways your Choice.

12

What Man in earnest covets Life,

And would good Days prolong;

13

Let him preserve his Lips from Strife,

And from Deceit his Tongue.

14

Depart from Evil, be to all

Full of good Works, and kind;
If Discord happens, Peace recall,
And shew a friendly Mind.

15

Jehovah keeps, on all that fear

His Name, a watchful Eye,
And when they pray, his gracious Ear
Is open to their Cry.

70

16

The Lord against the wicked Band

In Anger sets his Face,
He'll cut them off, and from the Land
Their vile Remembrance rase.

17

The Just the Lord in Trouble seek,

Their mournful Cry he hears;
With tender Care he saves the Meek,
And eases all their Fears:

18

The Lord is nigh, to succour those,

Who by Contrition bleed:

19

The Righteous is involv'd in Woes,

But by the Lord is freed.

20

The Lord do's keep the Bones, that bear

His Body, firm and sound;
And guards them with such watchful Care,
Not one is broken found.

21

Destructive Pains and Grief of Mind

The Wicked shall endure,
And they, that hate the Just, shall find
Their Condemnation sure.

22

The Lord redeems the Souls of those,

Who just and upright are;
None, who their Trust in Him repose,
Shall desolate despair.
