PSALM 2. First Part. L.M.
A Morning Psalm. (cont.)

4	He rais'd my head to see the light, And makes his praise my morning song.

PSALM 3. Second Part. C.M.
God our defence from Sin and Satan.

1	MY God, the temper would persuade,    There's no relief in heaven; And all my swelling sins appear    Too big to be forgiven.
2	But thou, my righteousness and strength,    Shalt on the tempter tread; Shalt silence all my threat'ning guilt,    And raise my drooping head.
3	I cry'd, and from his holy hill    He bow'd a list'ning ear; I call'd my Father, and my God,    And he subdu'd my fear.
4	He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes,    In spite of all my foes; I 'woke, and wonder'd at the grace    That guarded my repose.
5	What, tho' the hosts of death and hell    All arm'd against me stood; Terrors no more shall shake my soul;    My refuge is my God.
6	Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace,    While I thy glory sing: For Christ hath broke the serpent's teeth,    And death has lost his sting.
7	Salvation to the Lord belongs,    His arm alone can save; Blessings attend thy people here,    And reach beyond the grave.

PSALM 4. First Part. L.M.
God our portion and Christ our hope.

1	GOD of grace and righteousness, Hear and attend when I complain; Thou hast enlarged me in distress, Bow down a gracious ear again.
2	Ye sons of men, in vain ye try To turn my glory into shame; How long will scoffers love to lie, And dare reproach my Saviour's name!
3	Know that the Lord divides his saints From all the tribes of men beside: He hears the cry of penitents, For the dear sake of Christ that dy'd.
4	When our obedient hands have done A thousand works of righteousness. We put our trust in Christ alone, And glory in his pard'ning grace.
5	Let the unthinking many say, "Who will bestow some earthly good?" But, Lord, thy light and love we pray; Our souls desire this heavenly food.
6	Then shall my cheerful pow'rs rejoice At grace and favours so divine. Nor will I change my happy choice. For all their corn, and all their wine.

PSALM 4. Second Part. C.M.
An Evening Psalm.

1	LORD, thou wilt hear me when I pray;    I am for ever thine: I fear before thee all the day,    Nor would I dare to sin.
2	And while I rest my weary head,    From cares and bus'ness free,
