Tone 6. (1.) p. 11.

7 I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath { said unto me : Thou art my Son, this day have { I be-got-ten thee.

8 Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for { thine in-heri-tance : and the utmost parts of the earth for { thy pos-ses-sion.

9 Thou shalt bruise them with a { rod of i-ron : and break them in pieces like a { pot-ters ves-sel.

10 Be wise now therefore, { O ye kings : be learned, ye that are { judg-es of the earth.

11 Serve the { Lord in fear: and rejoice unto him with re-ve-rence.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,* and so ye perish from the { right way: if his wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,)* blessed are all they that { put their trust in him.

PSALM iii.

Domine, quid multiplicati ?

Tone 1. D. p. 2.

LORD, ho ware they in- { creased that trouble me : many are they that rise a-gainst me.

2 Many one there be that { say of my soul : There is no help for him { in his God.

3 But thou, O Lord, { art my de-fend-er: thou art my worship,* and the lifter { up of my head.

4 I did call upon the Lord { with my voice : and he heard me out of his { ho-ly hill.

5 I laid me down and slept, and rose { up a-gain: for the Lord sus-tained me.

6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the peo-ple : that have set themselves against me } round a-bout.

7 Up, Lord, and help me, { O my God: for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheekbone ;* thou hast broken the { teeth of the ungod-ly.

8 Salvation belongeth { unto the Lord: and thy blessing is up- { on thy peo-ple.

PSALM iv. Cum invocarem.

Tone 7. A. p. 12.

Hear me when I call, o ş God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble ;* have mercy upon me, and heark-en unto my prayer.

2 0 ye sons of men,* how long will ye blas- { pheme mine hon-our: and have such pleasure in vanity,* and seek { af-ter leas-ing ?

3 Know this also,* that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is god-ly: when I call upon the Lord, { he will hear me.

4 Stand in { awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart,* and in your { cham-ber, and be still.

5 Offer the { sacri-fice of righteous-ness: and put your { trust in the Lord.

6 There be { many that say: Who will { shew us a-ny good ?

7 Lord, { lift thou up: the light of thy { counte-nance up-on us.

8 Thou hast put gladness { in my heart : since the time that their corn, and wine,* and oil, increas-ed.

9 I will lay me down in peace, and { take my rest: for it is thou, Lord, only,* that makest me { · dwell in safe-ty.

PSALM V. Verba mea auribus.
PONDER my { words, O Lord: consider my {

:7a-tion.

2 O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my | King, and my God: for unto thee will I make my prayer.

3 My voice shalt thou hear be- {times, 0 Lord: early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto į thee, and will look

ир. 4 For thou art the God that hast no { pleasure in wicked-ness : neither shall any { e-vil dwell with thee.

5 Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all { them that work van-i-ty.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty } and de-ceit-ful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thine house,* even upon the multitude of thy mer-cy: and in thy fear will I worship* toward thy { ho-ly tem-ple.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, be- { cause of mine ene-mies: make thy way { plain be-fore my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness { in his mouth : their inward parts are { ve-ry wick-ed-ness.

10 Their throat is an { o-pen sepul-chre : they { flat-ter with their tongue.

Tone 7. A. p. 12.

11 Destroy thou them, O God ;* let them perish through their own im- {a-gi-na-tions : cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness ;* for they have re- { belled a-gainst thee.

12 And let all them that put their trust in { thee re-joice: they shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them ;* they that love thy Name shall be joy-ful in thee ;

13 For thou, Lord, will give thy blessing { unto the right-eous: and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou de- { fend him as with a shield.

Evening Prayer.
PSALM vi. Domine, ne in furore.

Tonus Peregrinus. p. 16.

O LORD, rebuke me not { in thine in-dig-na-tion : neither chasten me in { thy dis-plea-sure.

2 Have mercy upon me, 0 {Lord, for I am weak: 0 Lord, heal me, for my { bones are vex-ed.
