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 I 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 unto 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 | dwelleth at Jerusalem.

BY Psalm cxxxvii. Super flumina. Y the waters of Babylon we sat down and | wept when we remembered | 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 Jerusalem: let my right hand for | get her | cunning. if I 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, fer not Jerusalem | in my | mirth. pre 7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Jerusalem: how they said, Down with it, down with it, even to the \ ground. 8 O daughter of Babylon, | wasted • with | misery: yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as | thou hast served | us. 9 Blessed shall he be that taketh thy | children: and throweth them against the | stones.

DAY 29.] MORNING PRAYER. Psalm cxxxix. Domine, probasti. Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me: thou knowest my down-sitting, and mine up-rising; thou understandest my | thoughts | long before. 2 Thou art about my path, and about my | bed: and spiest out all my ways. 3 For lo, there is not a word | in my tongue : but thou, O Lord, I knowest it altogether. 4 Thou hast fashioned me behind and be fore: and laid thine | hand up on me. 5 Such knowledge is too wonderful and excell· ent for me: I | cannot at | tainun | to it. 6 Whether shall I go then from thy | Spirit: or whether shall I go then from thy | presence? 7 If I climb up into heaven, | thou art | there: if I go down to hell, thou art | there | also. 8 If I take the wings of the morning: and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea; 9 Even there also shall thy hand | lead me: and thy | right | hand · shall hold me. 10 if say, Peradventure the darkness · shall | cover me: then shall my | night be| turned to | day. 11 Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as | clear as the day: the darkness and light to thee are both a like. 12 For my reins are | thine: thou hast covered me in my mother's | womb. 13 I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works, and that my soul | knoweth · right | well. 14 My bones are not | hid from | thee: though I be made secretly, and fashioned beneath. in the earth. 15 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet | being imperfect and in thy book were | all my mem· bers written; 16 Which day by day were | fashioned: when as yet there was none of them. 17 How dear are thy counsels unto | me, O | God: O how great is the sum of them! 18 If I tell them, they are more in number | than the sand: when I wake up | I am | present · with thee. 19 Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God: depart from me, ye | bloodthirsty | men. 20 For they speak unrighteously against thee: and thine enemies | take thy | Ñame, in | vain. |
