The Psalter for Chants Ancient and Modern

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 bered through the same.

24 It is well seen, O God, how thou goest: how thou, my God and King, goest | in the | sanctuary.

25 The singers go before, the minstrels | follow | after : in the midst are the damsels playing with the | tim | brels.

26 Give thanks, O Israel, unto God the Lord in the | congregations from the ground of the heart.

27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah their council the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephtha | li.

30 When the company of the spear-men, 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 unto | God.

32 Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms | of the earth O sing praises | unto 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 mighty | voice.

: 34 Ascribe ye the power to God over | Isra | el: his worship and strength is | in the clouds.

35 O God, wonderful art thou in thy | holy | places :

even the God of Israel; he will give strength and power unto his people ; | blessed | be | God.

over me.

God.

3 I am weary of crying; my | throat is faileth me for waiting so long up on my 4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the | hairs of my head: they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless, are | might | y.

5 I paid them the things that I never 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 Isra | el.

7 And why? for thy sake have I | suffered re | proof : shame hath covered my | face.

8 I am become a stranger | unto my | brethren : even an alien unto my | mother's | children.

19 For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten | me : and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are | fallen up | on | me.

Io I wept, and chastened my | self with | fasting and that was turned to | my re | proof.

II I put on sackcloth | also and they | jested up | on | me.

13 But, Lord, I make my prayer | unto | thee in | an acceptable | time.

14 Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy | mercy : even in the truth of thy sal | va | tion.

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 multitude | of thy mercies.

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

19 Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it: O deliver me, because of mine | ene | mies.

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 themselves with | al and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.

24 Let their eyes be blinded, that they see not and ever | bow thou | down their | backs.

25 Pour out thine indig | nation up on them thy wrathful dis | pleasure take | hold of | them.

and let

26 Let their habi | tation be void and no man to | dwell in their tents.

27 For they persecute him whom | thou hast | smitten : and they talk how they may vex them whom | thou hast | wound ed.

28 Let them fall from one wickedness | to an | other: and not come | into thy | righteousness.

29 Let them be wiped out of the book of the living: and not be written among the righteous.

30 As for me, when I am poor and in heaviness: thy help, O God, shall | lift me | up.

31 I will praise the Name of God | with a song and magnify it with thanks | giv | ing.

32 This also shall please the Lord better than a bullock that hath | horns and | hoofs.

33 The humble shall consider this, | and be glad : seek ye after God, | and your | soul shall | live.

34 For the Lord | heareth the poor and despiseth | not his

prisoners.

35 Let heaven and earth | praise | him the sea, and | all that moveth there | in.

36 For God will save Sion, and build the cities of Judah that men may dwell there, and have it in pos session.

37. The posterity also of his servants shall inherit | it: and they that love his | Name shall | dwell there | in.

PSALM 70. Deus in adjutorium.

ASTE thee, O God, to deliver | me make haste to help me, O | Lord.

after

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil.

3 Let them for their reward be soon | brought to shame that cry | over me, | There, | there.

4 But let all those that seek thee be joyful and | glad in | thee and let all such as delight in thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised.

5 As for me, I am poor and in | mise | ry: haste thee | unto me, O God.

6 Thou art my helper, and | my re | deemer : O Lord, make no long | tarry | ing.

Morning Prayer.

PSALM 71. In te, Domine, speravi.

N thee, O Lord, have I put my trust, let me never be

in thy righteousness; incline thine ear unto me, and |

save me.

2 Be thou my strong hold, whereunto I may alway resort thou hast promised to help me, for thou art my house of defence, | and my | cas | tle.

3 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the un godly out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel | man.

4 For thou, O Lord God, art the thing that I | long | for thou art my hope, | even | from my youth.

5 Through thee have I been holden up ever since | I was born thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise shall be | always of | thee.

6 I am become as it were a monster | unto | many but my sure trust | is in | thee.

9 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that lay wait for my soul take their counsel to gether, saying: God hath forsaken him; persecute him, and take him, for there is none to deliver | him.

II Let them be confounded and perish that are a a | gainst my soul let them be covered with shame and dishonour that seek to ❘ do me | e | vil.

12 As for me, I will patiently a | bide al | way and will praise thee | more and more.

13 My mouth shall daily speak of thy righteousness and salvation for I know no | end there | of.

16 Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am | gray | headed until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to all them that are | yet for to come.

17 Thy righteousness, O God, is | very | high and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

18 O what great troubles and adversities hast thou shewed me! and yet didst thou turn and re | fresh | me:
