5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that there'in is: who | keepeth' his | promise' for |

ever;

6 Who helpeth them to right that | suf'fer | wrong: who feed'eth | the hungry.

7 The Lord looseth men | out of prison the Lord giveth' sight | to' the | blind.

8 The Lord helpeth them | that' are | fallen: the Lord car'eth for the righteous.

9 The Lord careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless' and | widow as for the way of the ungodly, he | turneth' it | up'side | down.

10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for | ev'er more and through out' all | generations.

PSALM CXLVII. Laudate Dominum.

PRAISE the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises un to' our | God: yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it' is | to' be thankful.

2 The Lord doth build up' Jerusalem and gather together the' out casts' of Israel.

4 He telleth the number of the stars and calleth them' all | by' their | names.

5 Great is our Lord, and great | is' his | power : yea, and his wisdom' is infinite.

6 The Lord setteth | up' the | meek: and bringeth the ungodly | down - | to' the | ground.

7 O sing unto the Lord | with' thanksgiving sing praises upon the harp' un to' our | God;

8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, and prepareth rain | for′ the | earth: and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb | for′ the | use' of | men ;

9 Whọ giveth fodder unto the | cattle : and feedeth the young | ravens' that | call' up│on him. 10 He hath no pleasure in the strength | of' an | neither delighteth | he' in any man's

horse legs.

14 He maketh peace | in' thy | borders and filleth thee | with' the | flour' of | wheat.

15 He sendeth forth his commandment | up'on | earth and his word | run'neth | ve'ry | swiftly.

:

16 He giveth snow' like | wool: and scattereth | the' hoar-frost' like | ashes.

17 He casteth forth his | ice' like | morsels : who is able to abide' his frost?

18 He sendeth out his word,' and | melteth

:

them he bloweth with his wind, | and' the | wa'ters | flow.

19 He sheweth his word | un'to | Jacob his statutes and ordi'nances | un'to | Israel.

20 He hath not dealt so with | a'ny | nation : neither have the heathen | know'ledge of his | laws.
