This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1818 edition. Excerpt: ... divine decree, though the eventual completion was yet to come. The difficulty, perhaps, may be removed, by rendering these first three verses in the present time; "lord, thou art favourable to thy "land, thou bringest back the captivity of thy peo"pie," &c. that is, Thou art the God whose property it is to do this, and to show such mercy to thy people, who therefore call upon thee for the same.

Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7. Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant Us thy salvation.
