PSALM 16. Third Part. C.M.
Support in death, and hope of the resurrection. (cont.)

4	There streams of endless pleasure flow; And full discov'ries of thy grace (Which we but tasted here below) Spread heav'nly joys thro' all the place.

PSALM 16. Fourth Part. C.M.
Divine goodness and counsel.

1	SAVE me, O Lord, from ev'ry foe;    In thee my trust I place: Tho' all the good, that I can do,    Can ne'er deserve thy grace.
2	Yet, here, thy children to sustain    Shall be my lov'd employ; Thy children, first and best of men,    My friends, my highest joy.
3	Let heathens to their idols haste.    And worship wood, or stone; But my delightful lot is cast    Where the true God is known.
4	The Lord provides my constant food,    He fills my daily cup; Much am I pleas'd with present good,    But more rejoice in hope.
5	God is my portion and my joy,    His counsels are my light: He gives me sweet advice by day,    And gentle hints by night.
6	My soul would all her thoughts approve    To his all-seeing eye: Not death nor hell my hope shall move,    While such a friend is nigh.

PSALM 17. First Part. S.M.
The Portion of Saints and Sinners.

1	ARISE, my gracious God,    And make the wicked flee:

PSALM 17. First Part. S.M.
The Portion of Saints and Sinners. (cont.)

1	They are but thy chastising rod,    To drive thy saints to thee.
2	Behold the sinner dies,    His haughty words are vain: Here in this life his pleasure lies.    And all beyond is pain.
3	Then let his pride advance,    And boast of all his store: The Lord is my inheritance.    My soul can wish no more.
4	I shall behold the face    Of my forgiving God; And stand complete in righteousness,    Wash'd in my Saviour's blood.
5	There's a new heav'n begun    When I awake from death, Drest in the likeness of thy Son,    And draw immortal breath.

PSALM 17. Second Part. L.M.
The hope and heaven of believers.

1	LORD, I am thine; but thou wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love: When men of spite against me join. They are the sword, the hand is thine.
2	Their hope and portion lie below; 'Tis all the happiness they know; 'Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs.
3	What sinners value I resign: Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine. I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness.
4	This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go,
