10 But be thou merciful unto me, O Lord:

Raise thou me up again, and I shall re-ward them. 11 By this I know thou favour-est me:

That mine enemy doth not triumph a-gainst-me. 12 And when I am in my health thou up-holdest me : And shalt set me be-fore thy face for ever.

13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel:

L

World with-out end. A-men.

PSALM XLII.

Quemadmodum.

IKE as the hart desireth the wa-ter brooks:
So longeth my soul af-ter thee, O God.

2 My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the liv-ing God: When shall I come to appear be-fore the presence of God? 3 My tears have been my meat day and night:

While they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?

4 Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by my-self:

For I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the house of God;

5 In the voice of praise and thanks-giving :

Among such as keep ho-ly day.

6 Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul:

And why art thou so dis-quieted with-in-me?

7 Put thy trust in God:

For I will yet give him thanks for the help of his countenance

8 My God, my soul is vexed with-in-me:

Therefore will I remember thee concerning the land of
Jordan, and the lit-tle hill of Hermon.

9 One deep calleth another, because of the noise of the wa-ter pipes:

All thy waves and storms are gone over me.

10 The Lord hath granted his loving-kindness in the daytime: And in the night-season did I sing of him, and made my prayer un-to the God of my life.

11 I will say unto the God of my strength, Why hast thou for-gotten-me:

Why go I thus heavily, while the enemy op-press-eth me?

12 My bones are smitten asunder as with a sword:

While mine enemies that trouble me cast me in the teeth;

13 Namely, while they say daily un-to me :

Where i's now thy God?

14 Why art thou so vexed, O my soul:

And why art thou so dis-quieted with-in-me?

15 O put thy trust in God:

For I will yet thank him, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

PSALM XLIII. Judica me, Deus.

YIVE sentence with me, O God, and defend

GIVE

against the un-god-ly people:

O deliver me from the de-ceitful and wick-ed man.

my cause

2 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee:

And why go I so heavily, while the enemy op-press-eth me? 3 O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: And bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.

4 And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness:

And upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

5 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul:

And why art thou so dis-quieted with-in-me?

6 O put thy trust in God:

For I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my counte-nance and my God.

DAY 9.]

WE

Morning Prayer.

PSALM XLIV. Deus, auribus.

E have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us:

What thou hast done in their time of old;

2 How thou hast driven out the heathen with thy hand, and planted them in :

How thou hast destroyed the nations, and cast them out. 3 For they gat not the land in possession through their own sword:

Neither was it their own arm that help-ed them :

4 But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy

countenance:

Because thou hadst a favour un-to-them.

5 Thou art my King, O God:

Send help un-to Jacob.

6 Through thee will we over-throw our enemies:

And in thy Name will we tread them under, that rise

up a-gainst us.

7 For I will not trust in my bow:

It is not my sword that shall help me ;

8 But it is thou that savest us from our enemies :
And puttest them to con-fusion that hate us.
9 We make our boast of God all day long:
And will praise thy name for ever.

10 But now thou art far off, and puttest us to con-fusion :
And goest not forth with our armies.

11 Thou makest us to turn our backs up-on our enemies :
So that they which hate us spoil our goods.
12 Thou lettest us be eaten up like sheep:
And hast scattered us a-mong the heathen.
13 Thou sellest thy people for nought:
And takest no mo-ney for them.

14 Thou makest us to be rebuked of our neighbours:

To be laughed to scorn, and had in derision of them that are round a-bout us.

15 Thou makest us to be a by-word a-mong the heathen: And that the people shake their heads at us.

16 My confusion is daily be-fore.me:

And the shame of my face hath cover-ed me ; 17 For the voice of the slanderer and blas-phemer:

For the ene-my and a-venger.

18 And though all this be come upon us, yet do we not for-get thee:

Nor behave ourselves froward-ly in thy covenant.

19 Our heart is not turn-ed back :

Neither our steps gone out of thy way;

20 No, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons: And covered us with the shadow of death.

21 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, and holden up our hands to any strange god :

Shall not God search it out? for he knoweth the very se-crets of the heart.

22 For thy sake also are we killed all the day long:

And are counted as sheep ap-point-ed to be slain.

23 Up, Lord, why sleep-est thou:

Awake, and be not absent from us for ever.

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face:

And forgettest our mi-se-ry and trouble?

25 For our soul is brought low, even un-to the dust: Our belly cleaveth un-to the ground.

26 A-rise and helpus:

And deliver us for thy mer-cy's sake.

PSALM XLV. Eructavit cor meum.

Y heart is inditing of a good matter:

Μ My

I speak of the things which I have made un-to the King. 2 My tongue is the pen:

Of a rea-dy writer.

3 Thou art fairer than the children of men :

Full of grace are thy lips, because God hath bless-ed thee

for ever.

4 Gird thee with thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most Mighty:

According to thy wor-ship and re-nown.

5 Good luck have thou with thine honour:

Ride on, because of the word of truth, of meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terri-ble things.

6 Thy arrows are very sharp, and the people shall be subdued un-to thee:

Even in the midst among the King's enemies.

7 Thy seat, O God, en-dureth for ever:

The sceptre of thy king-dom is a right sceptre.

8 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated in-iquity: Wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness a-bove thy fellows.

9 All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia:

Out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 10 Kings' daughters were among thy honoura-ble women : Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought a-bout with di-vers colours.

11 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, in-cline thine ear: Forget also thine own people, and thy fu-ther's house. 12 So shall the King have pleasure in thy beauty:

For he is thy Lord God, and worship thou him.

13 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift: Like as the rich also among the people shall make their sup-pli-cation be-fore thee.

14 The King's daughter is all glorious with-in:

Her clothing is of wrought gold.

15 She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of nee-dle

work:

The virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought un-to thee.

16 With joy and gladness shall they be brought:

And shall enter in-to-the King's palace.

17 Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children:

Whom thou mayest make prin-ces in all lands.

18 I will remember thy Name from one generation to an-other: Therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world with-out end.

G

PSALM XLVI. Deus noster refugium.

OD is our hope and strength:

A very pre-sent help in trouble.

2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved : And though the hills be carried in-to the midst of the sea. 3 Though the waters thereof rage and swell:

And though the mountains shake at the tem-pest of the

same.

4 The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God:

The holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.

5 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be re-moved:

God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved: But God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt

a-way.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us:

The God of Ja-cob is our refuge.

8 O come hither and behold the works of the Lord : What destruction he hath brought up-on the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease in all the world:

He breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the cha-riots in the fire.

10 Be still then, and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be ex-al-ted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us: The God of Ja-cob is our refuge.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM XLVII. Omnes gentes, plaudite. CLAP your hands together, all ye people : O sing unto God with the voice of melody. 2 For the Lord is high, and to be feared: He is the great King up-on all the earth. 3 He shall subdue the people un-der us : And the na-tions under our feet.
