Description
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. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. Verse 6.--And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. What an appropriate termination to this most beautiful Psalm! The sentiment here expressed by the Psalmist surpasses all that the imagination can conceive, or that the heart can possibly desire. "And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

At the banquet of my heavenly host I rejoice to present myself as an invited guest.

He had hitherto spoken of the unnumbered benefits which the most high conferred upon him. Every succeeding verse enumerated some additional kindness which he had received from his faithful Shepherd and...
