PSALM II.

I.

EE that ye ferve th' anointed Lord, rulers and kings with fear,

See that with reverence ye rejoice,

Least in his wrath ye fuddenly

PSALM LXII.

The prophet here refts his foul upon God. He has been in the foregoing pfalms making many prayers, and in this he declares his perfect confidence in being heard and answered. In this faith he defies his enemies, and excites himfelf to continue waiting upon God. He rejects all creature fupports, and relies wholly upon the power of the Almighty. This is a most bleffed leffon for us. May we learn it of him, who has practifed it, and who alone can teach it, even our great prophet. By his word, and by his Spirit he can enable us to truft him at all times and in all cafes. The Lord give us this faith. The Lord increase it where it is given, that while we are now exercifing it, we may have fresh reason to thank him for it. O for an high fong of faith to day. It would redound much to the glory of a promifekeeping God. May he be greatly exalted, and then our fouls will be greatly refreshed, in finging this pfalm.

I.

TRULY my foul with waiting hope depends on God indeed,

My ftrength and my falvation do from him alone proceed.

II.

He only my falvation is

and my ftrong rock is he; He only is my fure defence, much mov'd 1 fhall not be.

III. Surely

III.

Surely my foul doth whole depend
on God my chief defire,
From ev'ry ill me to defend
none but him I defire.

PSALM LXII.

I.

GOD only my falvation is

and my strong rock is he,

He only is my fure defence,
I shall not moved be..

II.

In God my glory placed is and my falvation fure,

In God the rock is of my ftrength my refuge most fecure.

III.

put your trust in him alway

ye folk with one accord,

Pour out your hearts to him and fay, our trust is in the Lord.

IV.

To Father, Son, and holy Ghost,

the God whom we adore, Be glory as it was, is now,

and fhall be evermore.

AFTER

AFTERNOON.

PSALM LXII.

1.

SURELY mean men are vanity, and great men are a lie;

In ballance laid, they wholly are lighter than vanity.

II.

Trust not in wrong and robbery,
let vain delights be gone,
Tho' riches in abundance flow,
Set not your hearts thereon.

God hath it spoken once to me,
yea this I heard again,
That pow'r unto Almighty God
alone doth appertain.

IV.

Yea mercy alfo unto thee

belongs, O Lord, alone: For thou according to his work wilt reward ev'ry one.
