3 Though floods tremendous rise,
And lift their awful voice;
The LORD on high rules earth and skies,
Let all the saints rejoice.

4 Zion shall still endure,

Though waves and storms assail;
His testimonies all are sure;
His promise cannot fail.

5 His name for ever bless,

His grace and truth adore; Thy house is peace and holiness, O LORD, for evermore.

PSALM 93. II. Metre. (L.M.)
1 WITH glory clad, with strength array'd,'
The LORD, that o'er all nature reigns,
The world's foundation strongly laid,
And the vast fabric still sustains.

2 Firm and establish'd is Thy throne!
Which shall no change or period see;
For Thou, O LORD, and Thou alone,
Art GoD from all eternity.

3 The floods, O LORD, lift up their voice,
And toss the troubled waves on high;
But GoD above can still their noise,
And make the angry sea comply.
4 Thy testimonies, LORD, are sure;
Thy promises our fears dispel;
O let Thy saints, in Thee secure,
In truth and holiness excel.

The Psalmist prageth for the overthrow of prospe rous wickedness; extolleth the blessedness of the righteous and their support in adversity.

10 LORD our GOD, the sword is Thine,
Ordain'd with equity divine;

Thine all-sufficient pow'r display;
Vengeance is Thine;-Thou wilt repay.

2 Great Judge of all the earth, arise,
Reward the proud, Thine enemies;
Who dare insult Thy saints, and say,
That GOD regardeth not their way.

3 Hear, ye unwise, and understand,
God holds the sceptre in His hand;
The GOD, who form'd the eye, the ear,
Shall He not know? shall He not hear?

4 Blest is the man, whom Thou, O Lord, With chast'ning teachest in Thy word; Train'd by adversity he's blest,

And finds in Thee his long-sought rest.

5 Thou, LORD, wilt not forsake Thy flock,
Thou art our Shepherd, Shield, and Rock;
And when my feet seem'd high to fall,
Thou wast my help, Thou heard'st my call.

6 Oft when my thoughts tumultuous roll,
Thy comforts, LORD, delight my soul;
And lead me to Thy blest abode,
My refuge, my defence, my God.

An exhortation to praise JEHOVAH. The Epistle to the Hebrews quotes this Psalm as an address to believers under the Gospel.

1

O COME, let us sing the praise of the LORD, Loud anthems combine, his goodness record; Our Rock of salvation, in Him we rejoice,

In psalms of thanksgiving, exalt your glad voice. 2 O LORD our great GoD, O great King on high, Thy praises supreme replenish the sky;

The angelic choirs Thy goodness record.

The earth, seas, and heav'ns, sustain'd by Thy
word.

3 His presence approach, and shew forth His praise,
While prostrate ye fall, his honour to raise;
J. C
The LORD is our Shepherd, His mercies behold,
And we are His people, the sheep of His fold.
4 To-day hear His voice, submit to His word,"
Nor tempt ye His power, acknowledge your LORD:
Believe and obey Him-His saints shall be blest,
Thro' Him they shall triumph, and enter His rest.

PSALM 95. II. Metre. (L. M.) 10 COME, loud anthems let us sing,

Loud thanks to our almighty King:
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's Rock we praise.
2 Into His presence let us haste,
To thank Him for His favours past;
To Him address, in joyful songs,
The praise that to His name belongs.

3 For God the LORD, enthron'd in state,
Is with unrivall'd glory great;
A King superior far to all

Whom gods the heathens falsely call.

4 O let us to His courts repair,
And bow with adoration there;
Down on our knees devoutly all
Before the LORD our Maker fall.

PSALM 95. III. Metre. (s M.)

1 COME, sound His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;

JEHOVAH is the sov'reign God,
The universal King.

2 He form'd the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The wat'ry worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at His throne,
Come, bow before the LORD;
We are His work, and not our own,
He form'd us by His word.

4 With humble souls adore,

Come, kneel before His face: O may the creatures of His power Be children of His grace.

An exhortation to sing the praises of MESSIAH, and to publish the glad tidings of his kingdom. This Psalm was composed by King David on the occasion of bringing the ark of GOD to Jerusalem, 1 Chron. xvi.

10SING unto the LORD;

New songs of glory raise ;
Let all the earth His grace record,
In one great act of praise.

2 His great salvation shew,
Exalt His sacred name;
From day to day the theme renew,
His mighty deeds proclaim.

3 Glorious is His abode;

The heav'ns and earth He made ; Declare the glory of our GOD, 'Midst heathen lands display'd, 4 His throne is righteousness; Your sacred off" rings bring; In beauteous robes of holiness, Worship the LORD your King.

Proclaim MESSIAH, King;

All pow'r to Him is giv'n;
Earth, seas, and fields, rejoice and sing,
Adore the LORD of heav'n.

6 To judge the world he comes,
In righteousness divine :

His foes shall hear their awful dooms,
His saints in bliss shall shine,
