for_o my_o first_o observation_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o second_o 2._o as_o god_n be_v our_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o we_o must_v do_v he_o service_n so_o this_o service_n must_v be_v hearty_a and_o sincere_a and_o therefore_o we_o see_v here_o to_o prevent_v all_o suspicion_n of_o hypocrisy_n the_o psalmist_n bind_v himself_o with_o a_o threefold_a cord_n first_o we_o have_v a_o
