8 Whose mouth talketh of vanity :

And their right hand is a right hand of wickedness. 9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:

And sing praises unto thee up-on asten-string-ed lute.

10 Thou hast given victory un-to kings:

And hast delivered David thy servant from the pe-ril of the sword.

11 Save me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children : Whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of in-iquity.

12 That our sons may grow up as the young plants:

And that our daughters may be as the polished cor-ners of the temple.

13 That our garners may be full and plenteous with all manner of store:

That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thou-sands in our streets.

14 That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there be no de-cay:

No leading into captivity, and no com-plain-ing in our streets: 15 Happy are the people that are in such a case :

I

Yea, blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God.

PSALM CXLV. Exaltabo te, Deus.

WILL magnify thee, O God, my King:

And I will praise thy Name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I give thanks un-to thee:

And praise thy Name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and marvellous, worthy to be praised: There is no end of his greatness.

4 One generation shall praise thy works un-to an-other : A nd de-clare thy power.

5 As for me, I will be talking of thy worship:

Thy glory, thy praise, and wond-rous works;

6 So that men shall speak of the might of thy marvel-lous acts: And I will also tell of thy greatness.

7 The memorial of thine abundant kindness shall be shewed: And men shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious, and merciful:

Long-suffering, and of great goodness. 9 The Lord is loving unto eve-ry man : And his mercy is o-ver all his works. 10 All thy works praise thee, O Lord:

And thy saints give thanks un-to-thee.

11 They shew the glory of thy kingdom:

And talk of thy power;

12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom: Might be known un-to men.

13 Thy kingdom is an ever-last-ing kingdom:

And thy dominion en-dureth through-out all ages. 14 The Lord upholdeth all such as fall:

And lifteth up all those that are down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord :

And thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand :

And fillest all things living with plenteousness.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways: And holy in all his works.

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call up-on-him : Yea, all such as call up-on him faithfully.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : He also will hear their cry, and will help them. 20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him : But scattereth a-broad all the un-godly.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:

And let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever.

PSALM CXLVI. Lauda, anima mea.

RAISE the Lord, O my soul; while I live will I praise the Lord:

PRAISE

Yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises un-to my God.

2 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man : For there is no help in them.

3 For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth:

And then all his thoughts perish.

4 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help:

And whose hope is in the Lord his God;

5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that there-in is : Who keepeth his promise for ever;

6 Who helpeth them to right that suf-fer wrong:

Who feedeth the hungry.

7 The Lord looseth men out of prison:

The Lord giveth sight to the blind.

8 The Lord helpeth them that are fallen :

The Lord car-eth for the righteous.

9 The Lord careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless and widow:

As for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it up-side down. 10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for ev-er-more: And through-out all ge-ne-rations.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM CXLVII. Laudate Dominum.

PRAISE the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises un-to our God:

Yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful. 2 The Lord doth build up Je-rusalem:

And gather together the out-casts of Israel. 3 He healeth those that are broken in heart: And giveth medicine to heal their sickness. 4 He telleth the number of the stars:

And calleth them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: Yea, and his wisdom is infinite.

6 The Lord setteth up the meek :

And bringeth the un-godly down to the ground.

7 O sing unto the Lord with thanks-giving :

Sing praises upon the harp un-to our God;

8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth:

And maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men;

9 Who giveth fodder un-to the cattle:

And feedeth the young ravens that call up-on him. 10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: Neither delighteth he in any man's legs.

11 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him : And put their trust in his mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Je-rusalem:

Praise thy God, O Sion,

13 For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates:

And hath blessed thy children with-in-thee.

14 He maketh peace in thy borders:

And filleth thee with the flour of wheat.

15 He sendeth forth his commandment up-on earth: And his word run-neth ve-ry swiftly.

16 He giveth snow like wool:

And scattereth the hoar frost like ashes.

17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels:

Who is able to a-bide his frost?

18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
He bloweth with his wind, and the wa-ters flow.
19 He sheweth his word un-to Jacob:

His statutes and ordi-nances un-to Israel.

20 He hath not dealt so with a-ny nation:

Neither have the heathen know-ledge of his laws.

PSALM CXLVIII. Laudate Dominum.

PRAISE the Lord of heaven:
Praise him in the height.

2 Praise him, all ye angels of his :
Praise him, all his host.

3 Praise him, sun and moon :

Praise him, all ye stars and light.

4 Praise him, all ye heavens:

And ye waters that are a-bove the heavens.

5 Let them praise the Name of the Lord:

For he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were cre-ated.

6 He hath made them fast for ever and ever:

He hath given them a law which shall not be broken.

7 Praise the Lord up-on earth:

Ye dra-gons, and all deeps;

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapours :

Wind and storm, ful-filling his word;

9 Mountains and all hills:

Fruitful tree's and all cedars;

10 Beasts and all cattle:

Worms and feather-ed fowls;

11 Kings of the earth and all people: Princes and all judg-es of the world;

12 Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord:

For his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.

13 He shall exalt the horn of his people; all his saints shall

praise him:

Even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth_him.

PSALM CXLIX. Cantate Domino.

SING unto the Lord a new song:
Let the congre-gation of saints praise him.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him :

And let the children of Sion be joy-ful in their King. 3 Let them praise his Name in the dance :

Let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp. 4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: And help-eth the meek-hearted.

5 Let the saints be joyful with glory:
Let them rejoice in their beds.

6 Let the praises of God be in their mouth :
And a two-edged sword in their hands;
7 To be avenged of the heathen:

And to re-buke the people;

8 To bind their kings in chains:

And their nobles with links of iron.

9 That they may be avenged of them, as it is written : Such honour have all his saints.

PSALM CL. Laudate Dominum.

PRAISE God in his holiness:

Praise him in the firma-ment of his

2 Praise him in his no-ble acts:

power.

Praise him according to his excel-lent greatness.
3 Praise him in the sound of the trumpet:
Praise him up-on the lute and harp.

4 Praise him in the cymbals and dances:
Praise him up-on the strings and pipe.
5 Praise him upon the well-tu-ned cymbals:
Praise him up-on the loud cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath:
Praise the Lord.
