therefore under the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice. Halleluia.-Ps. lxiii. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8. 63 O HOW AMIABLE!-Richardson. HOW amiable are Thy dwellings, Thou Lord of Hosts. My soul hath a desire to enter into Thy courts my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house: they shall always be praising Thee.-Ps. lxxxiv. 1, 2, 4. 64 O LORD, OUR GOVERNOR.-Hopkins. Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength, because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the fruitless rage of the enemy and the avenger. What is a mortal, O Jehovah, that Thou art mindful of him; and the son of a mortal, that Thou visitest him? O Lord, our Governor, O how excellent is Thy Name in all the world.—Ps. viii. 1, 2, 4, 9. O LORD, TURN THY WRATH AWAY.-Bird. LORD, turn Thy wrath away from us, for Thy mercy's sake. Call to mind no more, O our God, our former sins and wickedness.

Sing unto the Lord and praise His Name : be telling of his salvation from day to day. Declare his honour with the heathen, and his wonders unto all people. Glory and worship are before Him; power and honour are in his sanctuary. The Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised: He is more to be feared than all gods. As for the gods of the heathen, they are but idols; but it is the Lord that made the heavens. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holilet the whole earth stand in awe of Alleluia. ness him.

SING unto the Lord a new song: let the congregation of saints praise Him. Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him : and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.

The lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they who seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good.-Ps. xxxiv. 8, 9, 10. 69 O WHERE SHALL WISDOM ? WHERE shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me, It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls for the price of wisdom is above rubies. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living. God understandeth the way thereof, and knoweth the place thereof. For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and He weigheth the waters by measure.
