Book of Worship

Excerpt from Book of Worship: For the Christian Church The Psalter. Let us break their bands asunder, And cast away their cord from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalm III. Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me, Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; My glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, And he heard me out of his holy hill. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, That have set themselves against me round about. Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
