Which pure offering is accompanied with illustrations, digging for hidden treasures in it; and rules to employ it upon the glorious and various intentions of it. : Whereunto are added, some other portions of the sacred Scripture, to enrich the cantional.

9 And the ETERNAL God will be ‖ a refuge for the poor; ‖ a refuge in the proper times, ‖ when trouble comes on him. ‖
10 And they that know thy Name will place ‖ their confidence in thee: ‖ For thou •orsak'st not them that seek ‖ Thee, O ETERNAL God. ‖
11 To the ETERNAL God, who dwells ‖ in Zion, sing with praise: ‖ Among the People tell abroad ‖ the things which He has wrought. ‖
12 When He inquireth after Blood, ‖ He will remember them: ‖ He's not unmindful of the cry ‖ made by the humbled poor. ‖
