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

Self-Aquaintance
by John Newton (1725-1807)

ear Lord, accept a sinful heart,
Which of itself complains,
And mourns, with much and frequent smart,
The evil it contains.

There fiery seeds of anger lurk,
Which often hurt my frame
And wait but for the tempter’s work,
To fan them to a flame.

Legality holds out a bribe
To purchase life from Thee;
And discontent would fain prescribe
How Thou shalt deal with me.

Whil unbelief withstands Thy grace,
And puts Thy mercy by,
Presumption, with a brow of brass,
Says, “Give me, or I die.”

How eager are my thoughts to roam
In quest of what they love;
But, ah, when duty calls them home,
How heavily they move!

Oh, cleanse me in a Savior’s blood,
Transform me by Thy pow’r;
And make me Thy beloved abode,
And let me rove no more.

salme 103 (Geneva Bible)
A Psalme of Dauid.

1 My soule, prayse thou the Lorde, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
2 My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
3 Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
6 The Lord executeth righteousnes & iudgement to all that are oppressed.
7 He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
21 Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
22 Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lorde.
