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:
I have ordained a lantern for mine An-ointed.
19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame :
But upon him-self shall his crown flourish.

BEHOLD,

PSALM CXXXIII. Ecce, quam bonum!

EHOLD, how good and joyful a thing it is:
Brethren, to dwell to-gether in unity!

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 :
Praise it, O ye ser-vants 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:
And his mercy en-dureth for ever.

2 O give thanks unto the God of all gods :
For his mercy en-dureth for ever.
3 O thank the Lord of all lords:
For his mercy en-dureth for ever.
4 Who only doeth great wonders :

6 Who laid out the earth a-bove the waters:

For his mercy en-dureth for ever.

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 :
For his mercy en-dureth for ever.

23 Who remembered us when we were in trouble:
For his mercy en-dureth for ever;
24 And hath delivered us from our enemies :
For his mercy en-dureth for ever.

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.

PSALM CXXXVII. Super flumina.

Y the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept :
When we re-member-ed thee, O Sion.

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.
