SAVE me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

I will offer my prayer unto thee, O Lord: O God, in the greatness of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Deliver me, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep

waters.

Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the grave shut her mouth upon me.

Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble hear me speedily.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me from all mine enemies.

For I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

MAKE haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

Let them be ashamed that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward that desire my hurt.

But let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me,

O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no delay.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE SEVENTEENTH SELECTION.

(Psalms 71 and 55.)

PRAYER IN DISTRESS.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to shame.

Deliver me in thy goodness, and cause me to escape incline thine ear to me, and save me.

Be thou my strong habitation, where I may continually resort thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.

By thee have I been holden up ever since I was born; my praise shall be continually of thee.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

For I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for thy mercies are more than I can number.

I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

Also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to those that are

to come.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long.

GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; hide not thyself from my supplication.

My heart trembleth in my bosom: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me and horror hath overwhelmed me.

And I think, O that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

But yet I will call upon God: and the Lord shall

save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer those who seek him to fall.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE EIGHTEENTH SELECTION.

(Psalms 31 and 86.)

TRUST IN GOD.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to

save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

O, how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou showest to them that trust in thee.

Thou hidest them in the secret of thy presence

from the pride of man; thou shelterest them in thy pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the Lord: for he hath showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

• O, love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, 0 Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplication.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and
