The Ohio Independent Baptist, February 1971

i\ .aaltn auh i\ nrm By Ralph T. Nordlund (Read Psa lm XXXIV in y our Bible first) I will ever bless the Lord, Let His praise my lips employ, Boast of Him until my word Gives the humble hearer joy. Come, yet lowly, join with me; Let His ame exalted be! Once I sought the Lord, and H e Saved my heart from all it feared; Others looked who could not see - Looked to Him - and light appear ed. Yes a poor man raised his cry, Saw his troubles lift and fly! Round about them, circling h igh, Those who fear the Lord will fi nd Great Jehovah's Angel nigh, With deliverance close behind. Taste and see, the Lord is good: Oh, to trust Him as we should! Lions lose their livelihood, But the saints who fear their King Claim a promise that has stood, ' 'They hall lack no needful thing." Would ye, children, live long while? Speak no evil, lisp no guile. : hurch Basketball rournaments at Cedarville Turn from evil's dark defile, Where the wicked disappear: Seek for peace mile after mile Where God's favoring sun shines clear. Come, ye faithful, join with me: Let His ame exalted be! The Thirty-fourth calls for prai e to God even as the Thirty-third ; but ince it is Davidic we expect it will be from the personal tandpoint of blessings experienced, and o it i . everthele , it i univer al in thi ense, that Dav id takes for granted that all of God's people can join with him in such prai e, for they all experience God's favor. We have not followed thi p alm as closely in our ver ificat1on a n1anv of the other , but have rather tried ., to enter into it exalted mood. To make our praise livelier, we have u ed trochaic meter and hort line ; and to bind the truth tog ther, we have u ed chain ver e in our rhyme schedule; but we are free to confe s we feel we have failed to do justice to thi wonderful p alm. However, we hope it will hies your heart and in pire you to magnify the Lord for YOUR per onal ble ing . How good God is! Tournament time is here again at :edarville College!
