3 Rejoice in His almighty name,
Alone to be ador'd;

And let their hearts o'erflow with joy,
That humbly seek the LORD.

4 Seek ye the LORD, His saving strength
Devoutly still implore;

And, where He's ever present, seek
His face for evermore.

5 His Cov'nant GOD has kept in mind,
For num'rous ages past;

His Cov'nant, thousand ages more,
Eternally shall last.

6 His statutes then may we observe,
His sacred laws obey;

For benefits so vast, may we
Eternal praise display.

PSALM 106.

(C. M.) The Psalmist commemorates the Divine benefits, reproves the ingratitude and idolatry of the people, and prays for their recovery.

1 PRAISE ye the LORD, give thanks and raise Your sacred themes above;

What tongue can speak JEHOVAH's praise,
Or celebrate His love?

2 How blest are they who keep His word
In truth and righteousness!

With mercy visit me, O LORD,
With Thy salvation bless.

3 Grant me Thy favour, LORD, to see,
Elate with joy divine;
That I in full felicity,

In endless praise may join.

4 Alas, we have Thy laws despis'd,
Averse to Thy command;

Nor judgments fear'd, nor mercies priz'd,
Forgetful of Thy hand.

5 Prest by affliction, oft we fear'd;
Thy hand deliv’rance gave;

On Thee we call'd; Thy voice was heard,
Omnipotent to save.

6 Then we believ'd Thy sacred word,
And joyful sang Thy praise;
But soon, alas, forgot our LORD,
Regardless of Thy ways,

7 Thy just displeasure then, O God,
Ordain'd our pain and grief;
Successive changes mark our road,
Oh, haste to our relief!

8 Save us, O God, exalt Thy name;
Thy mercies we'll record;
AMEN, let all the earth proclaim,
Praise ye, oh, praise the LORD.

PSALM 106. II. Metre. (L. M.)

10 RENDER thanks to God above,

The fountain of eternal love,

Whose mercy firm through ages past
Has stood, and shall for ever last.

2 Who can His mighty deeds express,
Not only vast, but numberless!
What mortal eloquence can raise
His tribute of immortal praise?
3 Happy are they, and only they,
Who from Thy judgments fear to stray,
Who know what's right, not only so,
But aim to practise what they know.
4 Extend to me that favour, Lord,
Thou to Thy chosen dost afford;
When Thou return'st to set them free,
Let Thy salvation visit me.

5 0! may I in Thy presence see
Thy saints in full felicity!

That I the joyful choir may join,
And count Thy people's triumph mine.

3 Let Israel's Gon be ever blest;
His name eternally confest ;

Let all His saints with full accord,
Sing loud AMENS. Praise ye the LORD.

PSALM 107.

(Old 148)

The redeemed of the LORD are exhorted to praise Him for his goodness, in various instances.

1 GIVE thanks unto the LORD,

Your noblest anthems raise;

His mighty deeds record

In sacred themes of praise:

Let the redeem'd of GOD proclaim
The triumphs of JEHOVAH's name.

2 Exiles in foreign land,
Confess with grateful lays,
The guidance of His hand
Through solitary ways:

Obscure the way, yet right the road,
It led to Canaan's blest abode.

3 Ye who in darkness sit,

Or sink in shades of death,
Praise Him who gives you light,
With your expiring breath;
He burst the bonds, He set you free,
The heirs of life and liberty.

4 Ye who, afflicted, feel
Diseases of the soul,

He sends His word to heal,

And make the wounded whole; Praise ye the LORD; adore, and raise Your sacrifice of grateful praise.

5 Ye who in ships behold

The seas like mountains rise,

By swelling billows told,

GOD rules o'er seas and skies; When tempests rage, and surges swell, His mighty pow'r what tongue can tell! 6 To heav'n ascends your prayer; Gop hears, and whispers peace; Relieves your anxious care;

The furious billows cease;

In harbour safe the anchor's cast;
The storm subsides, the danger past,

7 JEHOVAH spake the word,

Tremendous waves were still;

The ocean saw its LORD,
Submissive to His will:
JEHOVAH praise, exalt His name;
His goodness, grace, and pow'r proclaim.
8 When rich and fruitful lands

Are turn'd to barren ground,
His blessing GOD commands,
And water-springs abound:

Fields, flocks, and vineyards yield increase,
And pastures crown'd with fruits of

9 The saints of GoD shall hear,
Consider, and rejoice;

Iniquity shall fear,

And stop her impious voice:
He who is wise shall understand,
Observe and own JEHOVAH's hand.

peace.

PSALM 107. II. Metre.

(L. M.) 1 GIVE thanks to GoD: He reigns above; Kind are His thoughts, His name is Love;

His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD

The wonders of His grace record; Israel, the nation whom He chose, And rescued from their mighty foes. 3 In their distress to GoD they cried, GOD was their SAVIOUR and their Guide; He led their march far wand'ring round, 'Twas the right path to Canaan's ground.
