OXFORD SELECTION. PSALM 1. How blest are they who ne'er consent Nor stand in sinners' ways, nor sit But make the perfect law of God Their business and delight; Devoutly read therein by day, Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, They still shall flourish, and success PSALM 3. My God how many are my fears, But thou my glory, and my strength, Salvation to the Lord belongs, Why troubled, why cast down, my soul? Trust God, and he'll employ His aid for thee, and change thy sighs To thankful hymns of joy. PSALM 5. LORD, hear the voice of my complaint, Thou in the morn my voice shalt hear; And, with the dawning day, To thee devoutly I'll look up, To thee devoutly pray. And when thy boundless grace shall me To thy lov'd courts restore; On thee I'll fix my longing eyes, There let all those, who trust in thee, With shouts their joy proclaim; Let them rejoice whom thou preserv'st, And all that love thy name. |
