4 For there is mercy with thee: There-fore shalt thou be feared. 5 I look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him : In his word is my trust. 6 My soul fleeth un-to the Lord: Before the morning watch, I say, be-fore the morn-ing watch. 7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy : And with him is plenteous re-demption. 8 And he shall re-deem Israel: From all his sins. PSALM CXXXI. Domine, non est. LORD, I am not high-minded : I have no proud looks. 2 I do not exercise myself in great matters: Which are too high for me. 3 But I refrain my soul, and keep it low, like as a child that is weaned from his mother: Yea, my soul is even as a wean-ed child. 4 O Israel, trust in the Lord: From this time forth for ev-er-more. DAY 28.] Morning Prayer. PSALM CXXXII. Memento, Domine. LORD, re-mem-ber David: And all his trouble; 2 How he sware un-to the Lord : And vowed a vow unto the Al-migh-ty God of Jacob; 3 I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house : Nor climb up in-to my bed; 4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eyelids to slumber : Neither the temples of my head to take any rest ; 5 Until I find out a place for the temple of the Lord : An habitation for the might-y God of Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of the same at Ephrata: And found it in the wood. 7 We will go in-to his tabernacle : And fall low on our knees be-fore his footstool. 8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest-ing-place: Thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness: And let thy saints sing with joyfulness. 10 For thy servant Da-vid's sake : Turn not away the presence of thine An-ointed. 11 The Lord hath made a faithful oath un-to David: And he shall not shrink from it; 12 Of the fruit of thy body: Shall I set up-on thy seat. 13 If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall learn them : Their children also shall sit upon thy seat for ev-er-more. 14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion to be an habitation for him-self: He hath long-ed for her. 15 This shall be my rest for ever : Here will I dwell, for I have a de-light there-in.. 16 I will bless her victuals with increase: And will satis-fy her poor with bread. 17 I will deck her priests with health: And her saints shall re-joice and sing. 18 There shall I make the horn of David to flourish: BEHOLD, PSALM CXXXIII. Ecce, quam bonum! EHOLD, how good and joyful a thing it is: 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down un-to the beard: Even unto Aaron's beard, and went down to the skirts of his clothing. 3 Like as the dew of Hermon : Which fell up-on the hill of Sion. 4 For there the Lord promised his blessing: B And life for ev-er-more. PSALM CXXXIV. Ecce nunc. EHOLD now, praise the Lord : All ye ser-vants of the Lord; 2 Ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord : Even in the courts of the house of our God. 3 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary: And praise the Lord. 4 The Lord that made heaven and earth : Give thee bless-ing out of Sion. PSALM CXXXV. Laudate Nomen. PRAISE the Lord, laud ye the Name of the Lord : 2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord: In the courts of the house of our God. 3 O praise the Lord, for the Lord is gracious: O sing praises unto his Name, for it is lovely. 4 For why? the Lord hath chosen Jacob un-to him-self: And Israel for his own pos-session. 5 For I know that the Lord is great: And that our Lord is a-bove all gods. 6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth: And in the sea, and in all deep places. 7 He bringeth forth the clouds from the ends of the world: And sendeth forth lightnings with the rain, bringing the winds out of his treasures. 8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt: Both of man and beast. 9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt: Upon Pharaoh, and all his servants. 10 He smote di-vers nations: And slew might-y kings ; 11 Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: And all the kingdoms of Canaan ; 12 And gave their land to be an heritage: Even an heritage un-to Israel his people. 13 Thy Name, O Lord, en-dureth for ever: So doth thy memorial, O Lord, from one gene-ra-tion to an-other. 14 For the Lord will a-venge his people: And be gracious un-to his servants. 15 As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold : The work of men's hands. 16 They have mouths, and speak not: Eyes have they, but they see not. 17 They have ears, and yet they hear not : Neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like un-to-them : And so are all they that put their trust in them. 19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: Praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron. 20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Levi: Ye that fear the Lord, praise the Lord. 21 Praised be the Lord out of Sion: Who dwell-eth at Je-rusalem. Evening Prayer. PSALM CXXXVI. Confitemini. GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: 2 O give thanks unto the God of all gods : For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 5 Who by his excellent wisdom made the heavens : For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 6 Who laid out the earth a-bove the waters: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 7 Who hath made great lights: For his mercy en-dureth for ever; 8 The sun to rule the day: · For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 9 The moon and the stars to govern the night: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 10 Who smote Egypt with their firstborn : For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 11 And brought out Israel from a-mong them : For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 12 With a mighty hand, and stretched out arm : For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 13 Who divided the Red sea in two parts: For his mercy en-dureth for ever; 14 And made Israel to go through the midst of it: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 15 But as for Pharaoh and his host, he overthrew them in the Red sea: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 16 Who led his people through the wilderness : For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 17 Who smote great kings: For his mercy en-dureth for ever; 18 Yea, and slew migh-ty kings: For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 19 Sehon king of the Amorites : For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 20 And Og the king of Basan : For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 21 And gave away their land for an heritage : For his mercy en-dureth for ever ; 22 Even for an heritage unto Israel his servant : 23 Who remembered us when we were in trouble: 25 Who giveth food to all flesh: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. 27 O give thanks unto the Lord of lords: For his mercy en-dureth for ever. B PSALM CXXXVII. Super flumina. Y the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept : 2 As for our harps, we hanged them up: Upon the trees that are there-in. 3 For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody, in our heaviness: Sing us one of the songs of Sion. 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song: In a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Je-rusalem : Let my right hand for-get her cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth : Yea, if I prefer not Je-rusa-lem in my mirth. 7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Je-rusalem: How they said, Down with it, down with it, ev-en to the ground. 8 O daughter of Babylon, wasted with misery: Yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serv-ed us. 9 Blessed shall he be that taketh thy children: And throweth them a-gainst the stones.
