1 BLEST is the man whose heav'n-taught mind Disdains the paths which scorners find,

The Law of GOD, his chief delight

He meditates by day and night.

2 Like some fair tree with clust'ring fruit,
Where richest soil supports its root;
No fatal blast its bud attends;

Its fruit in sure perfection ends.

3 Thrice happy man! his branch shall rise, Stored with rich foliage to the skies; With streams supplied, from injury free, 'Till glory crown the fruitful tree.

4 The ungodly are to woe consign'd, Swept like the chaff before the wind; While saints rejoice to endless days,

God hears their prayers, and knows their ways. *B

Appointed by the Church for Easter-Day: the opposition of Jew and Gentile against the Messiah -his victory and exaltation. Compare Acts iv.25.

1 WHY do the nations furious rage?
Why vain attempts combine?

Kings of the earth against the LORD,
And His ANOINTED join.

2 He, who in heav'n sits, derides:
He bids their wrath be still,
"MESSIAH, I have made my King
"On Zion's holy hill."

3 Hear the decree !Jehovah speaks,
"This day, my equal SON,
"In homage every knee shall bow,
"And Thy dominion own."

4"Ask; and the utmost parts of earth
Thine heritage shall be :

The heathen lands shall own Thee LORD,
And be possess'd by Thee."

5 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings, Serve ye the LORD with fear,

Seek

peace

with Him; His sceptre own;

His pow'r and grace revere.

6 On His great day, His foes shall feel
The terror of His word;

Then, O how blest, thrice blest are they,
Who trust in CHRIST the LORD.

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son, expressing his great confidence and security in the protection of God.

1 ORD, how are they increased, who rise
In numbers great, in malice strong!
Bent to destroy, combined, they rage,

With pow'rful hand with venom'd tongue.
2 But Thou, O LORD, art still my shield,
My buckler, tho' distrest and low;
Do Thou with glory crown my head,
Do thou subdue the cruel foe.

3 Thy mercy doth my soul sustain,
In former straits so oft exprest;

I cried to Thee; nor cried, in vain;

Thou heard'st from heaven; and I was blest.

4 Peaceful to sleep I give my eyes,
In Thee, my FATHER, I confide;
Preserved by Thee, from sleep I rise,
Nor fear ten-thousand foes beside.

5 Rise, Sovereign GoD! salvation shew,
Salvation doth to GOD belong!
Be calm, my soul, surmount thy woe,
And praise JEHOVAH in thy song.

PSALM 4.

The same subject continued.

10 GOD of truth and righteousness,

Attend my cry to Thee!

In former scenes and sad distress
Thou hast delivered me.

(C.M.)

2 Have mercy, LORD, and hear my prayer;
My trust is in thy name.

Save me from those, who seek to turn
My glory into shame.

3 Know that the LORD hath set apart,
He hears, and he defends,
The godly man, who trusts in Him,
And on His grace depends.

4 Then stand in awe; sin not; and learn
To tremble at His word;

Explore thy heart, hope and be still;
And wait upon the LORD.

5 In vain the sons of men enquire,
Who, who will shew us good?
Oh! fix on Thee my soul's desire,
Feed me with heavenly food.

6 With light of thy salvation, LORD,
O let me thus be blest;

'Tis joy divine, far more than gold,
Or a whole world possest.

7 Replenish'd, fed, protected, blest,
What more can I desire ?
Thy name, Thy all-sufficient word
Gladness of heart inspire.

8 Peaceful amidst surrounding foes,
I'll lay me down to sleep.

Great Guardian, with thy watchful eyes
My soul in safety keep.

PSALM 5.

1 PONDER my words, O LORD, give ear, My meditations weigh;

(C.M.)
