PSALM LXVI. Jubilate Deo.

BE joyful in God, all ye lands:

Sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.

2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works: Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found li-ars un-to thee.

3 For all the world shall wor-ship thee:

Sing of thee, and praise thy Name.

4 O come hither, and behold the works of God:

How wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men. 5 He turned the sea in-to dry land:

So that they went through the water on foot; there did we re-joice there-of.

6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes be-hold the people:

And such as will not believe shall not be able to ex-alt

them-selves.

7 O praise our God, ye people :

And make the voice of his praise to be heard ;

8 Who holdeth our soul in life :

And suffereth not our feet to slip.

9 For thou, O God, hast prov-ed us :

Thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.

10 Thou broughtest us into the snare:

And laidest trouble up-on our loins.

11 Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads:

We went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out in-to a wealth-y place.

12 I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings:

And will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams:

I will off-er bullocks and goats.

14 O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God:

And I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

15 I called unto him with my mouth:

And gave him prais-es with my tongue.

16 If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart:

The Lord will not hear me.

17 But God hath heard me :

And considered the voice of my prayer.

18 Praised be God who hath not cast out my prayer: Nor turned his mer-cy from me.

PSALM LXVII. Deus misereatur.

OD be merciful unto us, and bless us :

G and show us the light of his countenance, and be merci-ful

un-to us;

2 That thy way may be known up-on earth :
Thy saving health a-mong all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, O God:
Yea, let all the peo-ple praise thee.
4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad :

For thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the
na-tions up-on earth.

5 Let the people praise thee, O God:

Let all the peo-ple praise thee.

6 Then shall the earth bring forth her increase :

And God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing. 7 God shall bless us :

And all the ends of the world shall fear him.

DAY 13.]

L

[blocks in formation]

ET God arise, and let his enemies be scattered:
Let them also that hate him flee be-fore him.

2 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them a-way: And like as wax melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly perish at the presence of God.

3 But let the righteous be glad and re-joice-be-fore God: Let them also be merry and joyful.

4 O sing unto God, and sing praises un-to his Name:

Magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse; praise him in his name JAH, and re-joice be-fore him.

5 He is a Father of the fatherless, and defendeth the cause of the widows:

Even God in his ho-ly ha-bit-ation.

6 He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in an house, and bringeth the prisoners out of cap-tivity:

But letteth the runagates con-ti-nue in scarceness.

7 O God, when thou wentest forth be-fore the people: When thou went-est through the wilderness,

8 The earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God:

Even as Sinai also was moved at the presence of God, who is the God of Israel.

9 Thou, O God, sentest a gracious rain upon thine in-heritance: And refreshedst it when it was weary.

10 Thy congregation shall dwell there-in:

For thou, O God, hast of thy goodness pre-par-ed for the poor. 11 The Lord gave the word:

Great was the compa-ny of the preachers.

12 Kings with their armies did flee, and were dis-comfited: And they of the household di-vided the spoil.

13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove :

That is covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold. 14 When the Almighty scattered kings for their sake : Then were they as white as snow in Salmon.

15 As the hill of Basan, so is God's hill:

Even an high hill, as the hill of Basan.

16 Why hop ye so, ye high hills? this is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell:

Yea, the Lord will a-bide in it for ever.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels:

And the Lord is among them, as in the ho-ly place of Sinai. 18 Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men:

Yea, even for thine enemies, that the Lord God might dwell a-mong them.

19 Praised be the Lord daily:

Even the God who helpeth us, and poureth his be-ne-fits

up-on us.

20 He is our God, even the God of whom cometh sal-vation: God is the Lord, by whom we es-cape death.

21 God shall wound the head of his enemies:

And the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his wickedness.

22 The Lord hath said, I will bring my people again, as I did from Basan:

Mine own will I bring again, as I did sometime from the deep of the sea.

23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies: And that the tongue of thy dogs may be red through the

same.

24 It is well seen, O God, how thou goest:

How thou, my God and King, go-est in the sanctuary. 25 The singers go before, the minstrels fol-low after: In the midst are the damsels play-ing with the timbrels.

G

26 Give thanks, O Israel, unto God the Lord in the con-gre

gations:

From the ground of the heart.

27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah their counsel:

The princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Neph-tha-li. 28 Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee:

Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us. 29 For thy temple's sake at Je-rusalem :

So shall kings bring pre-sents un-to thee.

30 When the company of the spearmen, and multitude of the mighty are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they humbly bring pieces of silver : And when he hath scattered the people that de-light in war; 31 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt:

The Morians' land shall soon stretch out her hands un-to

God.

32 Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms of the earth:

O sing praises un-to the Lord;

33 Who sitteth in the heavens over all from the be-ginning: Lo, he doth send out his voice, yea, and that a might-y voice. 34 Ascribe ye the power to God o-ver Israel:

His worship, and strength is in the clouds.

35 O God, wonderful art thou in thy ho-ly places:

Even the God of Israel; he will give strength and power unto his peo-ple; blessed be God.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM LXIX. Salvum me fac.

NAVE me, O God:

S

For the waters are come in, even un-to my soul.

2 I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is:

I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

3 I am weary of crying; my throat is dry:

My sight faileth me for waiting so long up-on my God.

4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:

They that are mine enemies, and would de-stroy me guiltless, are mighty.

5 I paid them the things that I ne-ver took :

God, thou knowest my simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee.

6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my cause:

Let not those that seek thee be confounded through me,
O Lord God of Israel.

7 And why? for thy sake have I suffered re-proof:
Shame hath co-ver-ed my face.

8 I am become a stranger un-to my

brethren:

Even an alien un-to my mo-ther's children.

9 For the zeal of thine house hath ev-en eaten me :

And the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are fallen up-on me.

10 I wept, and chastened my-self with fasting:

And that was turned to my re-proof.

11 I put on sack-cloth also:

And they jest-ed up-on-me.

12 They that sit in the gate speak a-gainst me: And the drunkards make songs up-on me.

13 But, Lord, I make my prayer un-to thee:

In an ac-cepta-ble time.

14 Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy:

Even in the truth of thy sal-vation.

15 Take me out of the mire, that I sink not:

O let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

16 Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up:

And let not the pit shut her mouth up-on-me.

17 Hear me, O Lord, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: Turn thee unto me according to the multi-tude of thy mercies.

18 And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: O haste thee, and hear me.

19 Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it:

O deliver me, be-cause of mine enemies.

20 Thou hast known my reproof, my shame, and my dis-honour: Mine adversaries are all in thy sight.

21 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart; I am full of heaviness: I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comfort.me.

22 They gave me gall to eat :

And when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink.

23 Let their table be made a snare to take them-selves with-al: And let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an oc-casion of falling.
