An intermixt Jefu miferere! with ANTHEMS Out of the BIBLE. He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation: my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war: The LORD is his name. Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, O Lord, hath dafhed in pieces the enemy. The enemy faid, my luft fhall be fatisfied upon them, my hand fhall destroy them: Thou didst blow with thy wind, they fank as lead. Who is like unto thee, O LORD! glorious in holinefs, fearful in praifes, doing wonders? Thou in thy mercy haft led forth the people which thou haft redeemed: Thou haft guided them in thy ftrength unto thy holy habitation. The nations fhall hear and be afraid fear and dread fhall fall upon them, till thy people pafs over, O Lord, till the people pafs over whom thou haft purchased. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the fanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have eftablished: The LORD fhall reign for ever and ever. 4. Strong is thy dwelling-place: and The original rehearsal of the divine thou putteft thy neft in a rock *. Attributes, Exod. xxxiv. LORD, LORD God! merciful and gracious long-fuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth; Keeping mercy for thoufands: Forgiving iniquity and tranfgrention and fin, and that will by no means clear the guilty. • Cant. ü. 14. Balaam's homage, (Rev. iii. 9.) dwell in fafety: The LORD fhall cover him all the day long, and he fhall dwell between his fhoulders. Rejoice in thy going out And in thy tents. I alone: alfo his heavens fhall drop down dew. Happy art thou, O Ifrael, who is like unto thee? O people faved by the LORD, the fhield of thy help, and who is the fword of thy excellency. Thine enemies fhall be found liars unto thee, and thou shalt tread upon their high places. 8. Deborah's Pfalm, Judg. v. Raife ye the LORD for the a venging of Ifrael, when the people willingly offered themselves. Hear, O ye kings, give ear, O ye princes: I, even I will fing unto the Lord, I will fing praise to JehoOvah, the God of Ifrael. The inhabitants of the villages - ceased, they ceased in Ifrael: Until = that I arofe a mother in Ifrael. My heart is towards the governors of Ifrael, that offered themselves I willingly among the people. They fhall rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts towards the inhabitants of his viliages in Ifrael: Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles. These were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death: Curfe ye (faid the angel of the Lord) thofe that came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. But let them that love the Lord, be as the fun when he goeth forth in his might. 9. Mofes's Hymn, Pf. xc. ORD, thou hast been our dwell Ling-place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made, thou art God from everlafting and world without end. Thou turneft man to deftruction : Again thou fayeft, Return, ye children of men. For a thousand years in thy fight are but as yesterday when it is past; and as a watch in the night. Thou carrieft them away as with a flood, they are as a fleep, in the morning they are like grafs which groweth up: In the morning it is green and groweth up, but in the evening it is cut down, dried up and withered. The days of our age are threefcore years and ten, and though men be fo ftrong, that they come to fourfcore years: Yet is their strength then but labour and forrow; fo foon paffeth it away, and we are gone. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Turn thee again, O Lord, at the laft, and be gracious unto thy fervants: O fatisfy us with thy mercy, and that foon, fo fhall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life. Comfort us again now after the time that thou haft afflicted us, and for the years wherein we have fuffered adverfity: Shew thy fervants thy work, and their children thy glory. And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: Profper thou the work of our hands upon O profper thou our handy work. There is none holy as the LORD: For there is none befide thee, neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly: Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth. For the LORD is a God of knowledge; and by him actions are weigh'd. The bows of the mighty men are broken: and they that tumbled, are girt with ftrength. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich He bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raifeth up the poor out of the duft; and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, To fet them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory. He will keep the feet of his faints. The Lord fhall judge the ends of the earth. And he fhall give ftrength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. HO am I, O Lord God! Wand what is my houfe, that thou haft brought me hitherto? And this was yet a fmall thing in thy fight, O Lord God: But thou haft fpoken alfo of thy fervant's houfe for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God? And what can David fay more unto thee? For thou, Lord God, knoweft thy fervant. For thy word's fake, and according to thine own heart haft thou done all these great things. to make thy fervant know them. Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: For there is none like thee, neither is there any God befide thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Ifrael: whom God went to redeem for a people to himself? For thou haft confirmed to thyself thy people to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. |
