I have said, Thou art my GOD. MOZART. PSALM XXXV. 649 1. Plead Thou my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me, and fight Thou against them that fight against me. 24.

MOZART. 650 Splendente Te, Deus, discussa tristis est nox; En feri hostes, Tartarei postes, Arenâ stamus, atque pugnamus; Da juventuti, ut fida virtuti, Quæ, virulentis non pressa ventis, Florens, fructifera sit. Tu viris lumen, gratumque sis numen, Tu doctor pusillis, tuisque pupillis, (Sometimes sung to the following words.)

O what joy, that I to be my very Father may believe Thee, and may my Father call Thee. Cherubim! Seraphim! All ye joyful choirs of angels, praise the Father Almighty, praise Him! We, His children, join you, yea, we join you in praising Him. MOZART. 652 PSALM CXlii. I. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, yea, even unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 2. I poured out my complaints before Him, and shewed Him of my trouble. [3. When my spirit was in heaviness Thou knewest my path in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.] 4. I looked also upon my right hand, and saw there was no man that would know me. 5. I had no place to flee unto, and no man cared for my soul. [6. I cried unto Thee, O LORD, and said: Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.] 7. Consider my complaint, for I am brought very low. 9. Bring my soul out of trouble, that I may give thanks unto Thy Name. Amen. 653 Croft, vv. 1–6. 654 LONGHURST, vv. 1−3, 7, 6. DUPUIS. 655 PSALM Xviii. (Old Version). 9.

Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law will he exercise himself day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, that will bring forth his fruit in due season. 4. His leaf also shall not wither; and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper. 5. As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth. 6. Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7. But the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the ungodly shall perish. DISTIN, J. C. PRING. 657 Goss, vv. 1−5. 658 PSALM ii. 1. Why do the heathen so furiously rage together? and why do the people imagine a vain thing? 2. The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed, [saying,] 3. Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4. [But] He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn; the LORD shall have them in derision. 5. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure. 6. Yet have I set My King, upon My holy hill of Zion. 7. I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee. [8. Desire of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for Thy possession. 9. Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be learned, ye that are judges of the earth. II. Serve the LORD in fear, and rejoice unto Him with reverence. 12. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and so ye perish from the right way; if His wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,) blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. Blessed are all they that put their trust in the LORD. Hallelujah.] 659 Kent, vv. 1-6. J. C. PRING. 660 PURCELL, vv. 1-12. Hallelujah. 661 PSALM XXX. 1. I will magnify Thee, O LORD, for Thou hast set me up, and not made my foes to triumph over me. 3. Thou, LORD, hast brought my soul out of hell. Thou hast delivered me from them that go down into the pit. xcvi. 2. Sing unto the LORD, and praise His Name; be telling of His salvation from day to day, XXX. 4. And give thanks unto Him for a remembrance of His holiness. Hallelujah. Amen. BATTISHILL. |
