A SINGLE VOICE. 8 Who is He, this King of Glory? ANOTHER VOICE. Jehovah strong and mighty, SEMICHORUS. 9 O ye gates lift up your heads, A SINGLE VOICE. 10 Who is He, this King of Glory? GRAND CHORUS. Jehovah of Hosts.* He is the King of Glory. * "The Lord of Hosts," literally "Jehovah of Hosts," i. e. He who is the principle and foundation of existence to the whole assemblage of created being. The same expression occurs in other places. ד PSALM XXV. [A] 1 Unto thee, O Jehovah, I lift up my soul, Thee I have anxiously-looked-for all the day. 2 In thee, O my God, I have-placed-my-trust, let-me not be-brought-to-shame, Let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3 Yea, let none be-brought-to-shame, who anxiously-look-for thee; * Let the revolters to vanity be-brought-to shame. 4 Shew me thy ways, O Jehovah, Teach me thy paths. 5 Guide me according to thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation. * Idolaters and Infidels. 6 And pardon thou my iniquity, because of thy goodness, $ O Jehovah Truly that is great! 7 Remember thy tender-mercies, O Jehovah, л 8 The 8 The trespasses of my youth and my ences remember not; disobedi Remember thou me according to thy mercy. 9 Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. ⚫ 10 He will guide the meek according-to-the-planof-judgement, t And he will teach the meek his way. *« That," namely, "thy goodness." + I think the word own here, and in some other places, signifies the settled plan by which God will finally judge the world,-the Constitution of his Moral Kingdom. 11 All the paths of Jehovah are mercy and truth,* To such as obserye his covenant and his re velations, 12 For the sake of thy name, O Jehovah, Redeem Israel out of all his distresses. 13 What man is this that feareth Jehovah ? Him-he-shall-instruct in the way which he chooseth. 14 His soul shall rest in bliss, [B] And his seed shall inherit the earth. 15 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, And his covenant is to give-them-knowledge.[C] 16 Mine eyes are ever towards Jehovah, 17 Turn thee toward me, and take-pity-upon me, For I am deserted and afflicted. [D] * Rather, constancy or immutability. Mercy, or kindness, and immutability, i. e. constant, never failing kindness. 18 Set-at-large the sorrowful-contractions of my heart, And bring me out of my difficulties. [E] P 19 Cut short my affliction and vexation, 20 Behold mine enemies, for they are mighty;* And with a cruel hatred they hate me. 21 Guard my soul, and deliver me; Let-me not be-brought-to-shame, for-that Ihave-taken-shelter with thee. ♫ 22 Let loyalty and integrity preserve me: Truly, anxiously-I-have-looked-for thee. Thou art my God. PSALMS XXVI. AND XXVII. DR KENNICOTT divides the 27th psalm into two, * Or, numerous. |
