PSALM 28. L.M.
Prayer and praise, for deliverance from Enemies. (cont.)

9	O blest Redeemer, great and kind! Thy shield, thy saving strength, shall be The shield, the strength, of ev'ry mind, That loves thy name, and trusts in thee.
10	Remember, Lord, thy chosen seed; Israel defend from guilt and woe: Thy flock in richest pastures feed, And guard their steps from ev'ry foe.
11	Zion exalt, her cause maintain; With peace and joy her courts surround: In show'rs let endless blessings rain, And saints eternal praise resound.

PSALM 29. L.M.
Storm and Thunder.

1	GIVE to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and pow'r: Ascribe due honours to his name, And his eternal might adore.
2	The Lord proclaims his pow'r aloud, Upon the ocean and the land: His voice divides the wat'ry cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command.
3	He speaks, and tempest, hail and wind, Lay the wide forest bare around: The fearful hart, and frighted hind, Leap at the terror of the sound.
4	To Lebanon he turns his voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise, The vallies roar, the desarts quake.
5	The Lord sits sov'reign on the flood; The Thund'rer reigns for ever king; But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing.

PSALM 29. L.M.
Storm and Thunder. (cont.)

6	In gentler language there the Lord The counsels of his grace imparts: Amid the raging storm, his word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

PSALM 30. Second Part. L.M.
Sickness healed.

1	I WILL extol thee, Lord, on high, At thy command diseases fly: Who, but a God, can speak, and save From the dark borders of the grave?
2	Sing to the Lord, ye saints of his, And tell how large his goodness is; Let all your pow'rs rejoice and bless, While you record his holiness.
3	His anger but a moment stays; His love is life and length of days: Tho' grief and tears the night employ, The morning-star restores the joy.
4	Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I presum'd 'twould ne'er be night: Fondly I said within my heart, "Pleasure and peace shall ne'er depart."
5	But I forgot thine arm was strong, Which made my mountain stand so long; Soon as thy face began to hide, My health was gone, my comforts died.
6	I cried aloud to thee, my God: "What can'st thou profit by my blood? "Deep in the dust can I declare "Thy truth, or sing thy glories there?
7	"Hear me, O God of grace," I said, "And bring me from among the dead:" Thy word rebuk'd the pains I felt; Thy pard'ning love removed my guilt.
