can by any means redeem his brother nor give to god a ransom for him for the redemption of their soul is precious and it ceaseth forever that he should still live forever and not seek corruption for he see it that wise men die likewise the fool and the brutish person perish and leave their wealth to others and with thought is that their houses shall continue forever and their dwelling places to all generations they call their lands after their own names nevertheless man being in honor abideth not he is like the beasts that perish this their

way is their folly yet their posterity approve their sayings selah like sheep they are laid in the grave death shall feed on them and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling but god will redeem my soul from the power of the grave for he shall receive me selah be not thou afraid when one is made rich when the glory of his house is increased for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away his glory shall not descend after him though while he

lived he blessed his soul and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself he shall go to the generation of his fathers they shall never see light man that is in honor and understandeth not is like the beasts that perish psalm 50 the mighty god even the lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof out of zion the perfection of beauty god hath shined our god shall come and shall not keep silence a fire shall devour before him and it shall be very tempestuous

he goats out of thy folds for every beast of the forest is mine and the cattle upon a thousand hills i know all the fowls of the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are mine if i were hungry i would not tell thee for the world is mine and the fullness thereof will i eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats offer unto god thanksgiving and pay thy vows unto the most high and call upon me in the day of trouble i will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me but

unto the wicked god saith what hast thou to do to declare my statutes or that thou should take my covenant in thy mouth seeing thou hatest instruction and castest my words behind thee were now sourced a thief then thou consented with him and has been partaker with adulterers thou givest thy mouth to evil and thy tongue frameth deceit thou siddist and speakest against thy brother thou slanderest thine own mother's son these things hast thou done and i kept silence thou thoughtest that i was all together such and one is thy self but i will reprove

thou lovest evil more than good and lying rather than to speak righteousness selah thou love us to all devouring words o thou deceitful tongue god shall likewise destroy thee forever he shall take thee away and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place and root thee out of the land of the living cellar the righteous also shall see in fear and shall laugh at him lo this is the man that made not god his strength but trusted in the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness but i am like a green olive tree

him blessed blessed be the lord god the god of israel who only doeth wondrous things and bless be his glorious name forever let the whole earth be filled with his glory amen and amen the prayers of david the son of jesse are ended [Music] psalm 73 truly god is good to israel even two such as are of a clean heart but as for me my feet were almost gone my steps had well nice slipped but i was envious at the foolish when i saw the prosperity of the wicked but there are no bands in their

death but their strength is firm they are not in trouble as other men neither are they plagued like other men therefore pride composite them about as a chain violence covert them as a garment their eyes stand out with fatness they have more than heart could wish they are corrupt and speak wickedly concerning oppression they speak loftily they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walk it through the earth therefore his people return hither and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them and they say how does god know and is there

knowledge in the most high behold these are the ungodly who prosper in the world they increase in riches verily i have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in for all innocence day long have i been plagued and chastened every morning if i say i will speak thus behold i should offend against the generation of thy children when i thought to know this it was too painful for me until i went into the sanctuary of god then understood i their end surely thou didst set them in slippery places thou castest them down into

destruction how are they brought into desolation as in a moment they are utterly consumed with terrors as a dream when one awaketh so o lord when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image thus my heart was grieved and i was pricked in my reigns so foolish was i and ignorant i was as a beast before thee nevertheless i am continually with thee thou hast holden me by my right hand thou shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory whom have i in heaven but thee and there is none upon earth that

i desire beside thee my flesh and my heart faileth but god is the strength of my heart and my portion forever for lo they there are far from thee shall perish thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee but it is good for me to draw near to god i have put my trust in the lord god that i may declare all thy works psalm 74 oh god why hast thou cast us off forever why doth line anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased of

old the road of thine inheritance which thou hast redeemed this mount zion wherein thou hast dwelt lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations they set up their ensigns for signs a man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees but now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers they have cast fire into thy sanctuary they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy

name to the ground they said in their hearts let us destroy them together they have burned up all the synagogues of god in the land we see not our signs there is no more any profit neither is there among us any that knoweth how long o god how long shall the adversary reproach shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever why withdrawst thou thy hand even thy right hand pluck it out of thy bosom for god is my king of old working salvation in the midst of the earth thou didst divide the sea by thy strength

thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the waters thou breakest the heads of leviathan in pieces and gave us him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness thou didst cleave the fountain in the flood thou driest up mighty rivers the day is thine the night also is thine thou hast prepared the light and the sun thou hast set all the borders of the earth thou hast made summer and winter remember this that the enemy hath reproached o lord and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name oh deliver not the soul of

thy turtle dove unto the multitude of the wicked forget not the congregation of thy poor forever have respect unto the covenant but the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty oh let not the oppressed return ashamed that the poor needy praise thy name arise oh god plead thine own cause remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily forget not the voice of thine enemies the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually psalm 75 unto thee oh god do we give thanks unto thee do we give thanks for

that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare when i shall receive the congregation i will judge uprightly the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved i bear up the pillars of it salah i said unto the fools deal not foolishly and to the wicked lift not up the horn lift not up your horn on high speak not with a stiff neck for promotion cometh neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south but god is the judge he putteth down one and seth up another for in the hand of the

lord there is a cup and the wine is red it is full of mixture and he poureth out of the same but the dregs thereof all the wicked of the earth shall ring them out and drink them but i will declare forever i will sing praises to the god of jacob all the horns of the wicked also will i cut off but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted [Music] psalm 76 in judah is god known his name is great in israel in salem also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in zion they

are breaking the arrows of the bow the shield and the sword and the battle cellar thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey the stout-hearted are spoiled they have slept their sleep and none of the men of might have found their hands and thy rebuke oh god of jacob both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep thou even thou are to be feared and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven the earth feared and was still when

god arose to judgment to save all the meek of the earth selah surely the wrath of man shall praise thee the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain vow and pay unto the lord your god that all that be round about him bring presence unto him that ought to be feared he shall cut off the spirit of princes he is terrible to the kings of the earth psalm 77 i cried unto god with my voice even unto god with my voice and he gave here unto me in the day of my trouble i sought the lord

my sore ran in the night and ceased not my soul refused to be comforted i remembered god and was troubled i complained and my spirit was overwhelmed as allah beholdest mind eyes waking i am so troubled that i cannot speak i have considered the days of old the years of ancient times i call to remembrance my song in the night i commune with mine own heart and my spirit made diligent search for the lord cast off forever and will he be favorable no more is his mercy clean gone forever does his promise fail forevermore hath

god forgotten to be gracious hathy in anger shut up his tender mercies seller and i said this is my infirmity but i will remember the years of the right hand of the most high i will remember the works of the lord surely i will remember thy wonders of old i will meditate also of all thy work and talk of thy doings thy way o god is in the sanctuary who is so great a god is our god thou art the god that doest wanders thou hast declared thy strength among the people thou hast with thine

arm redeemed to thy people the sons of jacob and joseph selah the waters saw thee oh god the waters saw thee they were afraid the depths also were troubled the clouds poured out water the skies sent out a sound thine arrows also went abroad the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven the lightnings lightened the world the earth trembled and shook thy way is in the sea and thy path in the great waters and thy footsteps are not known thou led us thy people like a flock by the hand of moses and aaron psalm

78 give ear o my people to my law incline your ears to the words of my mouth i will open my mouth in a parable i will utter dark sayings of old which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us we will not hide them from their children showing to the generation to come the praises of the lord and his strength in his wonderful works that he hath done for he established a testimony in jacob and appointed a law in israel which he commanded our fathers that they should make them known to

their children that the generation to come might know them even the children which should be born who should arise and declare them to their children that they might set their hope in god and not forget the works of god but keep his commandments and might not be as their fathers a stubborn and rebellious generation a generation that set not their heart a right and whose spirit was not steadfast with god the children of ephraim being armed and carrying bows turned back in the day of battle they kept not the covenant of god and refused to

walk in his law and forgot his works and his wonders that he had shown them marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers in the land of egypt in the field of zoan he divided the sea and caused them to pass through and he made the waters to stand as a heap in the daytime also he led them with a cloud and all the night with a light of fire he claimed the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink is out of the great depths he brought streams also out of the rock

and caused waters to run down like rivers and they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most high in the wilderness and they tempted god in their heart by asking meat for their lust yea they speak against god they said can god furnish a table in the wilderness behold he smote the rock that the waters gushed out and the streams overflowed can he give bread also can he provide flesh for his people therefore the lord heard this and was wroth so a fire was kindled against jacob and anger also came up against israel because

they believed not in god and trusted not in his salvation though he had commanded the clouds from above and opened the doors of heaven and had rained down manna upon them to eat and had given them of the corn of heaven man did eat angels of food he sent them meat to the full he caused an east wind to blow in the heaven and by his power he brought in the south wind he rained flesh also upon them as dust and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea and he let it fall in

the midst of their camp round about their habitations so they did eat and were well filled for he gave them their own desire they were not estranged from their lust but while their meat was yet in their mouths the wrath of god came upon them and slew the fattest of them and smote down the chosen men of israel for all this they sinned their still and believed not for his wondrous works therefore their days did he consume in vanity and their years in trouble when he slew them then they sought him and they returned and

inquired early after god and they remembered that god was their rock and the high god their redeemer nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth and they lied unto him with their tongues but their heart was not right with him neither were they steadfast in his covenant but he being full of compassion forgave their iniquity and destroyed them not yea many a time turned he his anger away and did not stir up all his wrath for he remembered that they were but flesh a window that passeth away and cometh not again how oft did they

provoke him in the wilderness and grieve him in the desert yea they turned back and tempted god and limited the holy one of israel they remember not his hand nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy how he had wrought his signs in egypt in his wonders in the field of zoan and had turned their rivers into blood and their floods that they could not drink he sent divers sorts of flies among them which devoured them and frogs which destroyed them he gave also their increase under the caterpillar and their labor unto the

locust he destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost he gave up their cattle also to the hail in their flocks to hot thunder he cast upon them the fierceness of his anger wrath and indignation and trouble by sending evil angels among them he made a way to his anger he spared not their soul from death but gave their life over to the pestilence and smote all the first born in egypt the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of ham but made his own people to go forth like sheep and guided

them in the wilderness like a flock and he led them on safely so that they feared not but the sea overwhelmed their enemies and he brought them to the border of his sanctuary even to this mountain which his right hand had purchased he cast out the heathen also before them and divided them an inheritance by line and made the tribes of israel to dwell in their tents yet they tempted and provoked the most high god and kept not his testimonies but turned back and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers they were turned aside like a deceitful

bow but they provoked him to anger with their high places and moved him to jealousy with their graven images when god heard this he was roth and greatly abhorred israel so that he forsook the tabernacle of shiloh the tent which he placed among men and delivered his strength into captivity in his glory into the enemy's hand he gave his people over also unto the sword and was roth with his inheritance the fire consumed their young men and their maidens were not given to marriage their priests fell by the sword and their widows made no lamentation

then the lord awake as one out of sleep and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine and he smote his enemies in the hinder parts he put them to a perpetual reproach moreover he refused the tabernacle of joseph and chose not the tribe of ephraim but chose the tribe of judah the mount zion which he loved and he built his sanctuary like high palaces like the earth which he hath established forever he chose david also his servant and took him from the sheepfolds from following the use great with young he brought him

to feed jacob his people and israel his inheritance so he fed them according to the integrity of his heart and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands psalm 79 o god the heathen are come into thine inheritance the holy temple have they defiled they have laid a jerusalem on heaps the dead bodies of thy serpents have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth their blood as they shed like water round about jerusalem and there was none to bury them we

are become a reproach to our neighbors a scorn in derision to them that are round about us how long lord will thou be angry forever shall thy jealousy burn like fire pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name for they have devoured jacob and laid waste his dwelling place oh remember not against us former iniquities let thy tender mercy speedily prevent us for we are brought very low help us oh god of our salvation for the glory of thy name and

deliver us and purge away our sins for thy name's sake wherefore should the heathen say where is their god let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed that the sighing of the prisoner come before thee according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die and render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach wherewith they have reproached thee o lord so we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever we

will show forth thy praise to all generations psalm 80 give here o shepherd of israel thou that leadest joseph like a flock thou that dwellest between the cherubims shine forth before ephraim and benjamin and manasseh stir up thy strength and come and save us turn us again o god and cause thy face to shine and we shall be saved oh lord god of hosts how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people thou fedest them with the bread of tears and give us them tears to drink in great measure thou makest us

say strife unto our neighbors in our enemies laugh among themselves turn us again o god of hosts and cause thy face to shine and we shall be saved thou hast brought a vine out of egypt thou hast cast out the heathen and planted it thou preparest room before it and ditched cause it to take deep root and it filled the land the hills were covered with a shadow of it and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars she sent out her bows under the sea and her branches unto the river why hast thou then

broken down her hedges so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her the boar out of the wood doth waste it and the wild beast of the field doth devour it return we beseech thee oh god of hosts look down from heaven and behold and visit this vine and the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted and the branch that thou mayest strong for thyself it is burned with fire it is cut down they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand upon

the son of man whom now made us strong for thyself so will not we go back from thee quicken us and we will call upon thy name turn us again o lord god of hosts cause thy face to shine and we shall be saved [Music] psalm 81 sing aloud unto god our strength make a joyful noise unto the god of jacob take a psalm and bring hither the timbrel the pleasant harp with the sultry blow up the trumpet in the new moon in the time appointed on our solemn feast day for this was a statute

for israel and a law of the god of jacob this he ordained in joseph for a testimony when he went out through the land of egypt where i heard a language that i understood not i removed his shoulder from the burden his hands were delivered from the pots thou corst in trouble and i delivered thee i answered thee in the secret place of thunder i prove thee at the waters of miraba salah hear o my people and i will testify unto thee o israel if thou wilt hearken unto me there shall no strange god be

in thee neither shalt thou worship any strange god i am the lord thy god which brought thee out of the land of egypt open thy mouth wide and i will fill it but my people would not hearken to my voice and israel would none of me so i gave them up unto their own hearts lust and they walked in their own councils oh that my people had hearkened unto me and israel had walked in my ways i should soon have subdued their enemies and turned my hand against their adversaries the haters of the lord should

have submitted themselves unto him but their time should have endured forever he should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat and with honey out of the rock should i have satisfied thee [Music] psalm 82 god standeth in the congregation of the mighty he judgeth among the gods how long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked cellar defend the poor and fatherless do justice to the afflicted needy deliver the poor needy rid them out of the hand of the wicked they know not neither will they understand they walk on

in darkness all the foundations of the earth are out of course i have said ye are gods and all of you are children of the most high but ye shall die like men and fall like one of the princes arise o god judge the earth for thou shalt inherit all nations [Music] psalm 83 keep not thou silence o god hold not thy peace and be not still o god or lo nine enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lifted up the head they have taken crafty council against thy people and consulted against

thy hidden ones they have said come and let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of israel may be no more in remembrance but they have consulted together with one consent they are confederate against thee the tabernacles of edom and the ishmaelites of moab and the hagareens gabal and oman and amalek the philistines with the inhabitants of tara asuya also has joined with them they have helped the children of lot do unto them as unto the midianites as to sisra as to jabin at the brook of kisan which perished at endor

they became his dong for the earth make their nobles like o reb and like zebe yey all their princes as zebra and as salmanna who said let us take to ourselves the houses of god in possession oh my god make them like a wheel as the stubble before the wind as the fire burneth a wood and as the flame set at the mountains on fire so persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy storm fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name o lord let them be confounded and troubled

forever yea let them be put to shame and perish that men may know that thou whose name alone is jehovah art the most high over all the earth psalm 84 how amiable are thy tabernacles or lord of hosts my so longeth yea even fainteth for the courts of the lord my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living god yay the sparrow hath founded house and the swallower nest for herself where she may lay her young even thine altars o lord of hosts my king and my god blessed are they that dwell in thy

wasteth at noon day a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand but it shall not come nigh thee only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked because thou hast made the lord which is my refuge even the most high thy habitation there shall no evil before thee neither shall any plague come neither dwelling for he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways they shall bear thee up in their hands lest thou dash thy foot against a stone

thou shalt tread upon a lion and ara the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet because he hath set his love upon me therefore will i deliver him i will set him on high because he hath known my name he shall call upon me and i will answer him i will be with him in trouble i will deliver him and honor him what long life will i satisfy him and show him my salvation psalm 92 it is a good thing to give thanks unto the lord and to sing praises unto thy name

almost high to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning and thy faithfulness every night upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the sultry upon the harp with a solemn sound for thou lord hast made me glad through thy work i will triumph in the works of thy hands o lord how great are thy works and thy thoughts are very deep a brutish man knoweth not neither doth a fool understand this when the wicked spring has the grass and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish it is that they shall be destroyed forever

courts of our god they shall still bring forth fruit in old age they shall be fat and flourishing to show that the lord is upright he is my rock and there is no unrighteousness in him psalm 93 lord reigneth he is clothed with majesty the lord is clothed with strength wherewith he hath girded himself the world also established that it cannot be moved thy throne is established of old thou art from everlasting the floods have lifted up oh lord the floods have lifted up their voice the floods lift up their waves the lord on high

out of thy law that thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity until the pit be digged for the wicked for the lord will not cast off his people neither will he forsake his inheritance but judgment shall return unto righteousness and all the upright and heart shall follow it who will rise up for me against the evil doers or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity unless the lord had been my help my soul had almost dwelt in silence when i said my foot slippeth thy mercy o lord held

me up in the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee which frameth mischief by law they gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous and condemn the innocent blood but the lord is my defense and my god is the rock of my refuge and he shall bring upon them their own iniquity and shall cut them off in their own wickedness yea the lord our god shall cut them off [Music] psalm 95 oh come let us sing unto the lord let us make

of the lord psalm 102 hear my prayer o lord and let my cry come unto thee hide not thy face from me in the day when i am in trouble inclined i near unto me in the day when i call answer me speedily for my days are consumed like smoke and my bones are burned as in hearth my heart is smitten and withered like grass so that i forget to eat my bread by reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin i am like a pelican of the wilderness i am

like an owl of the desert i watch and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top mine enemies reproach me all the day and they that are mad against me are sworn against me for i have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping because of thine indignation and thy wrath for thou hast lifted me up and cast me down my days are like a shadow that declineth and i am withered like grass but thou o lord shalt endure forever and thy remembrance unto all generations thou shalt arise and have mercy upon

zion for the time to favor her yea the set time has come but thy servants take pleasure in her stones and favor the dust thereof so the heathen shall fear the name of the lord and all the kings of the earth thy glory when the lord shall build up zion he shall appear in his glory he will regard the prayer of the destitute and not despise their prayer this shall be written for the generation to come and the people which shall be created shall praise the lord for he hath looked down from the height of

his sanctuary from heaven did the lord behold the earth to hear the groaning of the prisoner to loose those that are appointed to death to declare the name of the lord and zion and his praise in jerusalem when the people are gathered together and the kingdoms to serve the lord he weakened my strength in the way he shortened my days i said oh my god take me not away in the midst of my days thy years are throughout all generations of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work

of thy hands they shall perish but thou shalt endure yea all of them shall wax old like a garment as a vesture shalt thou change them and they shall be changed but thou art the same and our years shall have no end the children of thy servants shall continue and their seed shall be established before thee psalm 103 bless the lord o my soul and all that is within me bless his holy name bless the lord o my soul and forget not all his benefits who forgiveth all thine iniquities who healeth all thy diseases who

visit me with thy salvation that i may see the good of thy chosen that i may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation that i may glory with thine inheritance we have sinned with our fathers we have committed iniquity we have done wickedly our fathers understood not thy wonders in egypt they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies but provoked him at the sea even at the red sea nevertheless he saved them for his names a sake that he might make his mighty power to be known he rebuked the red sea also and it was

dried up so he led them through the depths as through the wilderness and he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy and the waters covered their enemies there was not one of them left then believe they his words they sang his praise they soon forgot his works they waited not for his counsel but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted god in the desert and he gave them their request but sent leanness into their soul they envy to moses also in the camp and

aaron the saint of the lord the earth opened and swallowed up dathan and covered the company of a byrom and a fire was kindled in their company the flame burned up the wicked they made a calf and horeb and worshiped the molten image thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that edith grass they forgot god their savior which had done great things in egypt wondrous works in the land of ham and terrible things by the red sea therefore he said that he would destroy them had not moses has chosen stood before

him in the breach to turn away his wrath lest he should destroy them yea they despised the pleasant land they believed not his word but murmured in their tents and hearkened not unto the voice of the lord therefore he lifted up his hand against them to overthrow them in the wilderness to overthrow their seed also among the nations and to scatter them in the lands they joined themselves also onto baal pior and ate the sacrifices of the dead thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions and the plague break in upon them then stood

up for nahas executed judgment and so the plague was stayed and that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations forevermore they angered him also at the waters of strife so that it went ill with moses for their sakes because they provoked his spirit so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips they did not destroy the nations concerning whom the lord commanded them but were mingled among the heathen and learned of their works and they served to their idols which were a snare unto them yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils

and shed innocent blood even the blood of their sons and of their daughters whom they sacrificed unto the idols of canaan and the land was polluted with blood thus were they defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions therefore was the wrath of the lord kindled against his people in so much that he abhorred his own inheritance and he gave them into the hand of the heathen and they that hated them ruled over them their enemies also oppressed them and they were brought into subjection under their hand many times did

he deliver them but they provoked him with their counsel and were brought low for their iniquity nevertheless he regarded their affliction when he heard their cry and he remembered for them his covenant and repented according to the multitude of his mercies he made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives save us o lord our god and gather us from among the heathen to give thanks unto thy holy name and to triumph in thy praise bless be the lord god of israel from everlasting to everlasting and let all the people say

their distresses and he led them forth by the right way that they might go to a city of habitation oh that men would praise the lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men for he satisfied the longing soul and fill it the hungry soul with goodness such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death being bound in affliction and iron because they rebelled against the words of god and contended the counsel of the most high therefore he brought down their heart with labor they fell down and there

the stormy wind which lifteth up the waves thereof they mount up to the heaven they go down again to the depths their soul is melted because of trouble they reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits end then they cry unto the lord in their trouble and he bringeth them out of their distresses he'd make it the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still then are they glad because they be quiet so he bringeth them unto their desired haven oh that men would praise the lord

for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders he turneth rivers into a wilderness and the water springs into dry ground a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein he turneth the wilderness into a standing water and dry ground into water springs and there he maketh the hungry to dwell that they may prepare a city for habitation and so the fields and plant vineyards which may yield fruits

of increase he blessed them also so that they are multiplied greatly and suffereth not their cattle to decrease again they are minist and brought low through oppression affliction and sorrow he poureth contempt upon princes and causeth them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way it setteth he the poor on high from affliction and maketh him families like a flock the righteous shall see it and rejoice and all iniquity shall stop her mouth whoso is wise and will observe these things even they shall understand the loving kindness of the lord [Music] psalm 108
