8 God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon his holy seat.

9 The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham: for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.

GR

PSALM 48. Magnus Dominus.

YREAT is the Lord, and highly to be praised in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.

:

2 The hill of Sion is a fair place, and the joy of the whole earth: upon the north-side lieth the city of the great King; God is well known in her palaces as a sure refuge.

3 For lo, the kings of the earth are gathered, and gone by together.

4 They marvelled to see such things: they were astonished, and suddenly cast down. 5 Fear came there upon them, and sorrow : as upon a woman in her travail.

6 Thou shalt break the ships of the sea: through the east-wind.

7 Like as we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God upholdeth the same for ever. 8 We wait for thy loving-kindness, O God: in the midst of thy temple.

9 O God, according to thy Name, so is thy praise unto the world's end: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

10 Let the mount Sion rejoice, and the daughter of Judah be glad : because of thy judgements.

11 Walk about Sion, and go round about her and tell the towers thereof.

:.

12 Mark well her bulwarks, set up her houses that ye may tell them that come after.

:

13 For this God is our God for ever and ever : he shall be our guide unto death. PSALM 49. Audite hæc, omnes.

Hear

O ye this, all ye people : ponder it

with your ears, all ye that dwell in the

world;

2 High and low, rich and poor: one with another.

3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom and my heart shall muse of understanding. 4 I will incline mine ear to the parable : and shew my dark speech upon the harp. 5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of wickedness: and when the wickedness of my heels compasseth me round about?

6 There be some that put their trust in their goods and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.

7 But no man may deliver his brother: nor make agreement unto God for him; 8 For it cost more to redeem their souls: so that he must let that alone for ever;

9 Yea, though he live long and see not

the grave.

10 For he seeth that wise men also die, and perish together as well as the ignorant and foolish, and leave their riches for other.

11 And yet they think that their houses shall continue for ever: and that their dwelling-places shall endure from one generation to another; and call the lands after their own

names.

12 Nevertheless, man will not abide in honour seeing he may be compared unto the beasts that perish; this is the way of them. 13 This is their foolishness and their posterity praise their saying.

14 They lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have domination over them in the morning : their beauty shall consume in the sepulchre out of their dwelling.

15 But God hath delivered my soul from the place of hell: for he shall receive me. 16 Be not thou afraid, though one be made rich or if the glory of his house be increased;

17 For he shall carry nothing away with him when he dieth : neither shall his pomp follow him.

18 For while he lived, he counted himself an happy man and so long as thou

doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.

19 He shall follow the generation of his fathers and shall never see light.

:

20 Man being in honour hath no understanding but is compared unto the beasts that perish.

Morning Praper.

PSALM 50. Deus deorum.

HE Lord, even the most mighty God, hath spoken: and called the world, from the rising up of the sun, unto the going down thereof.

: 2 Out of Sion hath God appeared : in perfect beauty.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence : there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him.

4 He shall call the heaven from above: and the earth, that he may judge his people.

5 Gather my saints together unto me: those that have made a covenant with me with sacrifice.

6 And the heaven shall declare his righteousness for God is Judge himself.

:

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak: I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee because of thy sacrifices, or for thy burnt-offerings: because they were not alway before me.

9 I will take no bullock out of thine house : nor he-goat out of thy folds.

10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine : and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls upon the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

12 If I be hungry, I will not tell thee : for the whole world is mine, and all that is therein.

13 Thinkest thou that I will eat bulls' flesh : and drink the blood of goats?

:

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving and pay thy vows unto the most Highest.

15 And call upon me in the time of trouble so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me.

16 But unto the ungodly said God: Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my covenant in thy mouth;

17 Whereas thou hatest to be reformed : and hast cast my words behind thee?

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst unto him and hast been partaker with the adulterers.

:

19 Thou hast let thy mouth speak wicked
