psalms.<br />

Psalm 95, v. 1<br />

In his hand are all the corners <strong>of</strong> the earth: and the strength <strong>of</strong> the hills is his also.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land.<br />

O come, let us worship and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker.<br />

For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people <strong>of</strong> his pasture, and the sheep <strong>of</strong> his hand.<br />

To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day<br />

<strong>of</strong> temptation in the wilderness;<br />

When your fathers tempted me: proved me, and saw my works.<br />

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their<br />

hearts, for they have not known my ways;<br />

Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.<br />

Psalm 95, v. 4<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lord is King, the earth may be glad there<strong>of</strong>: yea, the multitude <strong>of</strong> the isles may be glad<br />

there<strong>of</strong>.<br />

Praise the Lord upon the harp: sing to the harp with a psalm <strong>of</strong> thanksgiving.<br />

With righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with equity.<br />

earth never so unquiet.<br />

Psalm 99, v. 1<br />

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his<br />

presence with a song.<br />

Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his<br />

people, and the sheep <strong>of</strong> his pasture.<br />

Psalm 100, v. 1.<br />

I am become like a pelican in the wilderness: and like an owl that is in the desert.<br />

I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow: that sitteth alone upon the house-top.<br />

Psalm 102, v. 6<br />

Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation <strong>of</strong> the earth: and the heavens are the work<br />
