thou, O God, didst of thy goodness provide for their need.

The Lord gave the song of victory; great was the company of those who published it.

Kings with their armies did flee and were discomfited, and she who staid at home divided the spoil.

The chariots of God's host are numberless, even thousands of thousands, and the Lord is among them, as in the holy place of Sinai.

Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts from men; yea, even from thine enemies; and here wilt thou dwell, O Lord God.

Praised be the Lord daily; even the God who helpeth us, and poureth his benefits upon us.

He is our God, even the God of whom cometh salvation; God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

The Lord hath said, I will bring my people again as I did from Bashan; mine own will I bring again as I did once from the deep of the sea.

Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord;

Who sitteth in the heavens over all, from the beginning; lo, he doth utter his voice, yea, and that a mighty voice.

Ascribe ye the power to God; his excellency is over Israel; his strength is in the clouds.

O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places; the God of Israel will give strength and power unto his people; blessed be God.

PSALM LXXVIII.

HEAR my law, O my people; incline your ears unto the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter sayings of old time;

Which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us;

That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come, but show the honor of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done.

He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children;

That their posterity might know it, and the children who were yet unborn;

To the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same;

That they might put their trust in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God;

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

O

For Thanksgiving.

PSALM XLVII.

CLAP your hands together all ye people; O sing unto God with the voice of melody. For the Lord is high, and to be feared; he is the great King over all the earth.

God is gone up with a shout, and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet.

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God; O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises with understanding.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

The princes of the heathen are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham; for God, who is high exalted, doth defend the earth as it were with a shield.

PSALM CXLVII.

PRAISE ye the Lord: for it is a good thing to

sing praises unto our God; yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.

The Lord doth build up Jerusalem and gather together the outcasts of Israel.

He healeth those who are broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

He telleth the number of the stars; and calleth them all by their names

Great is our Lord, and great is his power; yea, and his wisdom is infinite.

The Lord lifteth up the meek; and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground.

O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth, and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains;

Who giveth to the beast his food, and feedeth the young ravens that cry.

He hath no pleasure in the strength of the horse; neither delighteth he in the force of

man.

But the Lord's delight is in those who fear him, and put their trust in his mercy.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; and hath blessed thy children within thee.

He maketh peace in thy borders; and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth; and his word is instantly obeyed.

He giveth snow like wool; he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

He casteth forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?

He sendeth out his word and melteth them; he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow. He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.

He hath not dealt so with any other nation; neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws. Praise ye the Lord.

PSALM CL.

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his noble acts; praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; praise him upon the lute and harp.

Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals; praise him upon the loud cymbals.

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God;

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.
