Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Some observe that most of the psalms that are entitled Maschil--psalms of instruction, are sorrowful psalms; for afflictions give instructions, and sorrow of spirit opens the ear to them. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest and teachest.
