Part 293 (1/2)

Be glad in the Lord, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy name.

--_Psalm 97_.

{114}

LET THE SEA ROAR

O sing unto the Lord a new song; For he hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him.

The Lord hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.

He hath remembered his mercy and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our G.o.d.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

Sing praises unto the Lord with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.

With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein; Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together Before the Lord, for he cometh to judge the earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.

--_Psalm 98_.

{115}

HOLY IS THE LORD

The Lord reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

The Lord is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name: Holy is he.

The king's strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Exalt ye the Lord our G.o.d, And wors.h.i.+p at his footstool: Holy is he.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon the Lord, and he answereth them.

He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.

Thou answeredst them, O Lord our G.o.d: Thou wast a G.o.d that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

Exalt ye the Lord our G.o.d, And wors.h.i.+p at his holy hill; For the Lord our G.o.d is holy.

--_Psalm 99_.

{116}

THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is G.o.d: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy endureth for ever; And his faithfulness unto all generations.

--_Psalm 100_.

{117}

G.o.d IS UNCHANGEABLE

I said, O my G.o.d, 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 thy years shall have no end.

--_Psalm 102:24-27_.
