I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalme 122:1, (Geneva Bible)

DIVINE MERCIES

Thou Eternal God,

hine is surpassing greatness, unspeakable
goodness, super-abundant grace;
I can as soon count the sands of ocean’s ‘lip’
   as number thy favours towards me;
I know but a part, but that part exceeds all praise.
I thank thee for personal mercies,
   a measure of health, preservation of body,
   comforts of house and home, sufficiency of food
      and clothing,
   continuance of mental powers,
   my family, their mutual help and support,
      the delights of domestic harmony and peace,
      the seats now filled that might have been vacant,
   my country, church, Bible, faith.
But, O, how I mourn my sin, ingratitude, vileness,
   the days that add to my guilt,
   the scenes that witness my offending tongue;

All things in heaven, earth, around, within, without,
      condemn me–
   the sun which sees my misdeeds,
   the darkness which is light to thee,
   the cruel accuser who justly charges me,
   the good angels who have been provoked to leave
      me,
   thy countenance which scans my secret sins,
   thy righteous law, thy holy Word,
   my sin-soiled conscience, my private and
      public life,
   my neighbours, myself–
         all write dark things against me.
I deny them not, frame no excuse, but confess,
   ‘Father, I have sinned’;
Yet still I live, and fly repenting to thy outstretched
      arms;
   thou wilt not cast me off, for Jesus brings me near,
   thou wilt not condemn me, for he died in
      my stead,
   thou wilt not mark my mountains of sin,
      for he levelled all,
   and his beauty covers my deformities.
O my God, I bid farewell to sin by clinging
      to his cross,
   hiding in his wounds, and sheltering in his side.

salme 29 (Geneva Bible)
A Psalme of Dauid.
1 Giue vnto the Lord, ye sonnes of the mightie: giue vnto the Lord glorie and strength.
2 Giue vnto the Lorde glorie due vnto his Name: worship the Lorde in the glorious Sanctuarie.
3 The voyce of the Lord is vpon the waters: the God of glorie maketh it to thunder: the Lord is vpon the great waters.
4 The voyce of the Lorde is mightie: the voyce of the Lord is glorious.
5 The voyce of the Lorde breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lorde breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to leape like a calfe: Lebanon also and Shirion like a yong vnicorne.
7 The voice of the Lord deuideth the flames of sire.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the wildernes to tremble: the Lord maketh the wildernes of Kadesh to tremble.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hindes to calue, & discouereth the forests: therefore in his Temple doth euery man speake of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth vpon the flood, and the Lord doeth remaine King for euer.
11 The Lord shall giue strength vnto his people: the Lord shall blesse his people with peace.

Grace and peace to you this Lord’s Day.
