PSALM 31. Third Part L.M.
Prayer for deliverance from unfaithful friends.

1	HOW many Ebenezers stand, To mark the mercies of thy hand! How many pray'rs have reach'd thy throne! How often has thy grace been shown!
2	When sorrows rise and pains prevail, Or angry foes my peace assail; When dangers thicken all around; In thee alone my help is found.
3	Thro' all the road, each day, each hour, Fresh evils threaten to devour: Some new complaint, some painful case, Still drives me to the throne of grace.
4	My former friends their friend forget, And change their love to cruel hate; But truth and love with thee remain; My Saviour always is the same.
5	Support me in this sharp distress, While all forsake, and some oppress; And if my ways the Lord approve, Then turn their hatred into love.

PSALM 32. First Part. L.M.
Justification and sanctification.

1	BLEST is the man, for ever blest,    Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God; Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd,    And cover'd with his Saviour's blood.
2	Blest is the man to whom the Lord,    Imputes not his iniquities: He pleads no merit of reward,    And, not on works, but grace, relies.
3	From guile his heart and lips are free;    His humble joy, his holy fear,

PSALM 32. First Part. S.M.
Waiting for pardon and direction. (cont.)

3	With deep repentance well agree;    And join to prove his faith sincere.
4	How glorious is that righteousness,    That hides and cancels all his sins! While a bright evidence of grace,    Thro' his whole life, appears and shines.

PSALM 32. Second Part. L.M.
Confession and pardon.

1	WHILE I keep silence and conceal My heavy guilt within my heart, What torments doth my conscience feel! What agonies of inward smart!
2	I spread my sins before the Lord, And all my secret faults confess: Thy gospel speaks a pard'ning word, Thy holy spirit seals the grace.
3	For this shall ev'ry humble soul Make swift addresses to thy seat: When floods of huge temptations roll, There shall they find a blest retreat.
4	How safe beneath thy wings I lie, When days grow dark, and storms appear: And when I walk, thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from ev'ry snare.

PSALM 33. First Part. C.M.
Works of creation and providence.

1	REJOICE, ye righteous, in the Lord;    This work belongs to you: Sing of his name, his ways, his word,    How holy, just and true!
2	His mercy and his righteousness    Let heav'n and earth proclaim:
