PSALMS OF PRAISE AND ADORATION.

PSALM I.

FIRST METRE.

From the 8th of David.

1 O THOU, to whom all creatures bow
Within this early frame,

Through all the world how great art thou,
How glorious is thy name!

2 In heav'n thy wondrous acts are sung,
Nfully reckon'd there;

And yet thou mak'st the infant tongue
Thy boundless praise declare.

3 When heav'n, thy beaut'ous work on high,
Employs my wond'ring sight;

The moon, that nightly rules the sky,
With stars of feebler light.

4 What's man (say I) that, Lord, thou lov'st
To keep him in thy mind?

Or what his offspring, that thou prov'st
To them so wondrous kind?

5 Him next in power thou didst create
To thy celestial train;

Ordain'd, with dignity and state,
O'er all thy works to reigu.
