LESSON 1. REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it doth become well the just to be thankful. Praise the Lord with harp: sing praises unto him with the lute, and instruments of ten strings. Sing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lusily unto him with a good courage. For the word of the Lord is true, and all his works are faithful. LESSON II. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that hath no shame is as rottenness in his bones. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour; but the way of the wicked doth reduce them. LESSON II. I will magnify thee, O God, my king; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I give thanks unto thee; and praise thy name fore ever and ever. Great is the Lord, and marvellous; worthy to be praised there is no end of his greatness. The Lord is loving unto every man and his mercy is over all his works. LESSON IV. A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his eyes. There is gold, and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Bread of deceit is sweet to man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. Say not thou, I will recompence evil: but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee. LESSON V. The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him yea, all such as call upon him faithfully. : He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him. He also will hear their cry, and help them. The Lord doth preserve all them that love him: but scattereth abroad all the wicked men. LESSON VI. The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they hate judgment. The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous; and he that doth transgress, for the upright. A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength and confidence thereof. The slothful coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth, and spareth not.. TABLE II. Note.

THOU LESSON I. HOU, O Lord, has maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne that judgest right. Thou hast rebuked the heathen; and destroyed the ungodly thou hast put out their names for ever and ever. The Lord also will be a defence for the oppressed: even a refuge in due time of trouble. LESSON II. The rich and the poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on and are punished. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches; and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Rob not the poor, because he is poor neither oppress the afflicted in the gate. LESSON III. Why standeth thou so far off, O Lord; and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble? The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poor; let them be taken in the same craft that they have devised. For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's desire, and speaketh good of the covetous whom God abhorreth. LESSON IV. Be not amongst wine-bibbers; amongst riotous eaters of flesh. For the drunkard and the glutton, shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall cover a man with rags. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child, shall have joy of him. |
