In the midst of the congre-ga-tion will I praise thee. 23 O praise the Lord, ye that fear him : Magnify him, all ye of the seed of Jacob, and fear him, all ye seed of Israel; 24 For he hath not despised, nor abhorred, the low estate of the poor: He hath not hid his face from him, but when he called un-to him he heard him. 25 My praise is of thee in the great con-gre-gation : My vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him. 26 The poor shall eat, and be satisfied: They that seek after the Lord shall praise him; your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember themselves, and be turned un-to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the nations shall wor-ship be--fore him. 28 For the kingdom is the Lord's : And he is the Governour a-mong the people. 29 All such as be fat up-on earth: Have eaten, and worshipped. 30 All they that go down into the dust shall kneel be-fore him : And no man hath quicken-ed his own soul. 31 My seed shall serve him : They shall be counted unto the Lord for a gen-er-ation. 32 They shall come, and the heavens shall de-clare his righteousness: Unto a people that shall be born, whom the Lord hath made. PSALM XXIII. Dominus regit me. THE Lord is my shepherd: TH There-fore can I lack nothing. 2 He shall feed me in a green pasture : And lead me forth be-side the waters of comfort. 3 He shall con-vert my soul: And bring me forth in the paths of righteous-ness for his 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort.me. 5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble-me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. 6 But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. DAY 5.] Morning Prayer. PSALM XXIV. Domini est terra. HE earth is the Lord's, and all that there-in is : and dwell there-in. 2 For he hath founded it up-on the seas: And prepared it up-on the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: Or who shall rise up in his ho-ly place? 4 Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: 5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord: 6 This is the generation of them that seek him : Even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlast-ing doors: And the King of glo-ry shall come in. 8 Who is the King of glory: It is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlast-ing doors: And the King of glo-ry shall come in. 10 Who is the King of glory: Even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. UNTO PSALM XXV. Ad te, Domine, levavi. NTO thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies tri-umph o-ver me. 2 For all they that hope in thee shall not be a-shamed: But such as transgress without a cause shall be put to con-fusion. 3 Shew me thy ways, O Lord : And teach me thy paths. 4 Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn.me : For thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long. 5 Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy ten-der mercies : And thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old. 6 O remember not the sins and offences of my youth : But according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness. 7 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: Therefore will he teach sin-ners in the way. 8 Them that are meek shall he guide in judgement: 9 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth : Be merciful unto my sin, for it is great. 11 What man is he, that feareth the Lord: Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 12 His soul shall dwell at ease: And his seed shall in-herit the land. 13 The secret of the Lord is among them that fear him : 14 Mine eyes are ever looking un-to the Lord: 16 The sorrows of my heart are en-larged : 17 Look upon my adversity and misery : And for-give me all my sin. 18 Consider mine enemies, how many they are: And they bear a tyran-nous hate a-gainst me. 19 O keep my soul, and de-liver me : Let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in thee. 20 Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait up-on-me: For my hope hath been in thee. 21 Deliver Israel, O God: Out of all his troubles. PSALM XXVI. Judica me, Domine. E thou my Judge, O Lord, for I have walked in-no-cently: B My trust hul been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not 3 For thy loving-kindness is ever be-fore mine eyes: And I will walk in thy truth. 4 I have not dwelt with vain persons: Neither will I have fellowship with the de-ceitful. 5 I have hated the congregation of the wicked: And will not sit a-mong the un-godly. 6 I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord: And so will I go to thine altar; 7 That I may shew the voice of thanks-giving : 8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house : 10 In whose hands is wickedness: And their right hand is full of gifts. 11 But as for me, I will walk in-no-cently: O deliver me, and be merci-ful un-to me. 12 My foot stand-eth right: I will praise the Lord in the con-gre-gations. Evening Prayer. PSALM XXVII. Dominus illuminatio. THE Lord is my light, and my salvation; whom then shall I fear: The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be a-fraid? 2 When the wicked, even mine enemies, and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh : They stumb-led and fell. 3 Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be a-fraid: And though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him. 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will re-quire: Even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple. 5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle: Yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up up-on a rock of stone. 6 And now shall he lift up mine head : Above mine ene-mies round a-bout.me. 7 Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises un-to the Lord. 8 Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry Have mercy up-on me and hear me. un-to-thee: 9 My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my face: Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 10 O hide not thou thy face from me: Nor cast thy servant a-wa'y in dis-pleasure. 11 Thou hast been my succour : Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my sal-vation. 12 When my father and my mother for-sake me : The Lord taketh me up. 13 Teach me thy way, O Lord: And lead me in the right way, be-cause of mine enemies. 14 Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries : For there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong. 15 I should utterly have fainted: But that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 16 O tarry thou the Lord's leisure : U Be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord. PSALM XXVIII. Ad te, Domine. NTO thee will I cry, O Lord my strength : Think no scorn of me; lest, if thou make as though thou hearest not, I become like them that go down in-to the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my humble petitions, when I cry un-to thee: When I hold up my hands towards the mercy-seat of thy ho-ly temple. 3 O pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and wick-ed doers: Which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mis-chief in their hearts. 4 Reward them according to their deeds: And according to the wickedness of their own in-ventions. 5 Recompense them after the work of their hands: Pay them that they have de-served. 6 For they regard not in their mind the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands: Therefore shall he break them down, and not build them up. |
