(3) 65-80. VOL. III.—75. O take not the word of thy truth utterly out of my mouth. for my hope is in thy judgments. So shall I alway keep thy law: yea, for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy commandments. I will speak of thy testimonies also, even before kings: and will not be ashamed. And my delight shall be in thy commandments: which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved: and my study shall be in thy statutes. Glory, &c. O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word: wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust. The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had me exceedingly in derision: yet have I not shrinked from thy law. For I remembered thine everlasting judgments, O Lord: and received comfort. I am horribly afraid for the ungodly that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have been my songs: in the house of my pilgrimage. I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the nightseason and have kept thy law. This I had; because I kept thy commandments. Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have promised to keep thy law. I made my humble petition in thy presence with my whole heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word. I called mine own ways to remembrance: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to keep thy commandments. The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me : but I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee: because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of all them that fear thee: and keep thy commandments. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O teach me thy statutes. Glory be, &c. O Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant: according unto thy word. O learn me true understanding and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. F (kk) Antiphon. Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now have I kept thy word. Thou art good and gracious: O teach me thy statutes. The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy commandments with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as brawn: but my delight hath been in thy law. It is good for me that I have been in trouble: that I may learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: O give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad when they see me : because I have put my trust in thy word. I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right: and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled. O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort: according to thy word unto thy servant. O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live : for thy law is my delight. Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about to destroy me but I will be occupied in thy commandments. Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies : be turned unto me. O let my heart be sound in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed. Glory be, &c. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. (11) Text (Capitulum.)Minister.—God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, 1 John iv. 16. dwelleth in God, and God in him. (mm) Short Response. The Lord's Prayer, (privately.)
