13 And the daughter of Tyre | of God; the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.

shall be there with a gift; like as the rich also among the people shall make their fupplication before thee.

14 The King's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold.

15 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework; the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee. 16 With joy and gladness shall they be brought, and shall enter into the King's palace.

17 Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children, whom thou mayest make princes in all lands.

18 I will remember thy Name from one generation to another; therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without end.

PSALM 46.

OD is our hope and
a very present

Gftrength;

help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear though the earth be moved, and though the hills be carried into the midst of the fea.

3 Though the waters thereof rage and swell, and though the mountains shake at the tempeft of the fame.

5 God is in the midft of her, therefore shall she not be removed; God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved; but God hath fhewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

8 O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord, what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease in all the world; he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in funder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 Be still then, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.

3 He 3 He shall fubdue the peo- things; they were astonished, ple under us, and the nations and suddenly caft down. under our feet.

4 He shall choose out an heritage for us; even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved. 5 God is gone up with a merry noise, and the Lord with the found of the trump.

60 ling praises, fing praises unto our God; O fing praises, fing praises unto our King.

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

8 God reigneth over the heathen; God fitteth upon his holy feat.

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

PSALM 48.

Reat is the Lord, and in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.

Ghighly to be praised

2 The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the joy of the whole earth; upon the north-fide lieth the city of the great King; God is well known in her palaces as a fure refuge.

3 For lo, the kings of the earth are gathered, and gone by together.

5 Fear came there upon them, and forrow; as upon a woman in her travail.

6 Thou shalt break the ships of the fea, through the east-wind.

7 Like as we have heard, fo have we feen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God; God upholdeth the fame for ever.

8 We wait for thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midft of thy temple.

9 O God, according to thy Name, so is thy praise unto the world's end; thy right hand is full of righteousness.

10 Let the mount Sion rejoice, and the daughter of Ju. dah be glad, because of thy judgments.

11 Walk about Sion, and go round about her, and tell the towers thereof.

12 Mark well her bulwarks, fet up her houses, that ye may tell them that come after.

13 For this God is our God for ever and ever, he shall be our guide unto death.

PSALM 49.

Hear ye this, all ye people, ponder it with your ears, all ye that dwell in the world.

2 High and low, rich and

4 They marvelled to fee fuchpoor, one with another.

:

3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and my heart shall muse of understanding.

4 I will incline mine ear to the parable, and shew my dark fpeech upon the harp.

5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of wickedness, and when the wickedness of my heels compasseth me round about?

6 There be some that put their trust in their goods, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.

7 But no man may deliver his brother, nor make agreement unto God for him;

8 For it cost more to redeem their fouls; so that he must let that alone for ever;

9 Yea, though he live long, and fee not the grave.

10 For he seeth that wife men also die, and perish together; as well as the ignorant and foolish, and leave their riches for other.

11 And yet they think that their houses shall continue for ever, and that their dwellingplaces shall endure from one generation to another, and call the lands after their own

names.

12 Nevertheless, man will not abide in honour, feeing he may be compared unto the beasts that perish; this is the way of them.

13 This is their foolishness, and their pofterity praise their faying.

14 They lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have dominion over them in the morning; their beauty shall confume in the fepulchre out of their dwelling.

15 But God hath delivered my foul from the place of hell; for he shall receive me.

16 Be not thou afraid, though one be made rich; or if the glory of his house be increased;

17 For he shall carry nothing away with him, when he dieth; neither shall his pomp follow him.

18 For while he lived, he counted himself an happy man, and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

19 He shall follow the generation of his fathers, and shall never fee light.

20 Man being in honour hath no understanding; but is compared unto the beasts that perish.

PSALM 50.

HE Lord, even the most

I mighty God, hath spoken,

and called the world, from the D 4 rifing

rifing up of the fun, unto the going down thereof.

2 Out of Sion hath God appeared, in perfect beauty.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep filence; there shall go before him a confuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him.

4 He shall call the heaven from above, and the earth, that he may judge his people. 5 Gather my faints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me with facrifice.

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God is judge himself.

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; I myself will testify against thee, O Ifrael; for I am God, even thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee because of thy facrifices, or for thy burnt offerings, because they were not alway before me. I will take no bullock out of thine house; nor he-goat out of thy folds.

10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

II I know all the fowls upon the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are in my fight.

12 If I be hungry, I will not tell thee; for the whole

world is mine, and all that is therein.

13 Thinkest thou that I will eat bulls flesh, and drink the blood of goats ?

14 Offer unto God thankfgiving, and pay thy vows unto the most Highest.

15 And call upon me in the time of trouble; fo will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me.

16 But unto the ungodly faid God, Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my covenant in thy mouth;

17 Whereas thou hateft to be reformed, and haft caft my words behind thee?

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst unto him, and haft been partaker with the adulterers.

19 Thou hast let thy mouth speak wickedness, and with thy tongue thou hast set forth deceit.

20 Thou fattest and spakest against thy brother; yea, and hast slandered thine own mother's fon.

21 These things haft thou done, and I held my tongue, and thou thoughtest wickedly, that I am even fuch a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

22 O confider this, ye that forget God; lest I pluck you

PSALM 51.

Ave mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

2 Wash me throughly from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my fin.

3 For I acknowledge my faults, and my fin is ever before me.

4 Against thee only have I finned, and done this evil in thy fight; that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.

5 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness; and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

6 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts, and shalt make me to understand wifdom secretly.

7 Thou shalt purge me with hyffop, and I shall be clean; thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Turn thy face from my sins, and put out all my misdeeds.

10 Make me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy prefence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.

12 O give me the comfort of thy help again, and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

13 Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health, and my tongue shall fing of thy righteousness.

15 Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall shew thy praise.

16 For thou defirest no facrifice, else would I give it thee; but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.

17 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

18 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion; build thou the walls of Jerufalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleafed with the facrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations; then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.
