Who art thou that shouldest be a- fraid of man ?1

He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down;

He fleeth as a shadow and con- tinueth | not.2 Trust in him who liveth | for ever. 3

Fear ye not the reproach of men,

Neither be ye a- fraid of their re- | vilings;

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment. Trust in him who liveth for ever.3

Boast not thyself | of to- |

The light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his | fire shall not | shine.

He shall be driven from light into darkness.1 Trust in him who | liveth | for ever.2

Take no thought for the morrow:

For the morrow shall take thought for the ❘ things | of it-self.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil there- | of.3 Trust in him who liveth | for ever.2

What is your life, it is even a vapour,

That appeareth | for a | little time,

And then vanish- | eth a | way.4

Trust in him who | liveth | for ever.2

Trust ye in the Lord forever.

The eternal

thy refuge.5

God is

Underneath are the ever- -1

lasting | arms.6

Trust in him who | liveth | forever.2

Blessing and honor and | glory and power,

Be unto him that | sitteth up- on the throne, And unto the Lamb, For ever and ever.A- | men.1

Habernacles, O Lord

OW amiable are thy

of hosts;

Blessed are they that | dwell in thy house, They will be still praising thee.

A day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house | of my God,

Than to dwell in the 1 tents of wicked-ness.

For the Lord God is a 1 Isun and shield:

The Lord will give | grace and glory:

No good thing will he with-hold

perfection? it is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? the measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable:2 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? with whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding ?3

Congregation.

There is no searching of his understanding.4 Wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.5

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 6 who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth

in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance ?1 who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell ?2

Congregation.

Who is so great a God as our God? thou art the God that doest wonders.3

Minister.

[God's Unsearchableness in
nature.]

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened or who laid the corner stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy 24
