Hymn VII. Psal. 127.1, 2.

—37.4, 5. Therefore delight thy self in God, To him by Faith retire, And he shall wisely bring about Thy very heart's desire. Commit thy way unto the Lord, On him by Faith depend, And he shall bring thy just designs Unto a happy end.
16.23, 24 A little that the Just enjoys Is better far to them Than all the ill-got, ill-spent wealth Of many wicked men. ⟨p. 7⟩
