PSALM XXXviii. Domine, ne in furore.

Tonus Peregrinus. p. 16.

PUT me not to rebuke, O

Lord, in thine

an-ger: neither chasten me in thy heavy displea-sure.

2 For thine { arrows stick fast in me: and thy { hand presseth me sore.

3 There is no health in my flesh,* be- { cause of thy dis-plea-sure: neither is there any rest in my bones,* by rea-son of my sin.

4 For my wickednesses are gone and are like a sore burden,* too

bear.

{o-ver

o-ver my head: heavy for me to

5 My wounds stink, and are cor-rupt: through my fool-ish-ness.

[ocr errors]

6 I am brought into so great trouble and misery that I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are filled with a sore dis-ease: and there is no whole { part in my bo-dy.

8 I am { feeble, and sore smit-ten: I have roared for the very dis-quiet-ness of my heart.

:

9 Lord, thou know-est all my de-sire and my groaning is not hid from thee.

Tonus Peregrinus. p. 16.

10 My heart { panteth,* my strength hath failed me: and the sight of mine eyes is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my neighbours did stand { look-ing_up-on my trou-ble: and my kinsmen { stood a-far off.

-

12 They also that sought after my life laid snares for me: and they that went about to do me evil, talked of wickedness,* and imagined de- } ceit all the day long.

13 As for me,* I was like a deaf man, and heard not and as one that is dumb,* who { doth not open his mouth.

14 I became even as a man that heareth not: and in whose { mouth are no re-proofs.

15 For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: thou shalt answer for me, O Lord my God.

16 I have required that they, even mine enemies,* { should not tri-umph over me: for when my foot slipped,* they rejoiced { greatly a-gainst me. 17 And I, truly, am set in the plague: and my heaviness is ev-er in my sight. {

18 For I will con-fess my wicked-ness: and be{sor-ry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies live and are migh-ty:

and they that hate me wrongfully are many in num-ber.

20 They also that reward

gainst me: because I follow the

evil for good are a

thing that good is.

21 Forsake me { not, O Lord, my God: be not { thou far from me.

22 Haste thee to help me: O Lord God of { my sal-va-tion.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM cii. Domine, exaudi.

HEAR my prayer, O Lord: and let my crying come unto thee.

2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trou-ble incline thine ear unto me when I call;* O hear me, and that right { soon.

3 For my days are consumed away like { smoke: and my bones are burned up as it were a { fire

brand.

4 My heart is smitten down, and withered like { grass: so that I forget to eat my { bread. 5 For the voice of my groan-ing: my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican in the wilderness and like an owl that is in the de-sert. 7 I have watched, and am even as it were a { spar-row: that sitteth alone upon the house-top. { 8 Mine enemies revile me all the day long: and they that are mad upon me are sworn together a- {gainst me.

9 For I have eaten ashes as it were }

and mingled my drink with { weep-ing.

bread:

10 And that because of thine indignation

and wrath for thou hast taken me up and cast } me { down.

11 My days are gone like a { sha-dow: and { I am withered like grass.

12 † But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for { ev-er and thy remembrance throughout all gener-a-tions.

13+ Thou shalt arise,* and have mercy upon Si-on for it is time that thou have mercy upon her,* yea, the time is come.

14 † And why?* thy servants think upon her stones and it pitieth them to see her in the { dust.

[ocr errors]

15 The heathen shall fear thy Name, O{ Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy Majes-ty; 16 When the Lord shall build up { Si-on: and when his glory shall ap- { pear;

17+ When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor des-titute: and despiseth not their de-sire.

18 This shall be written for those that come af-ter: and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord.

19 † For he hath looked down from his { sanctuary: out of the heaven did the Lord behold the { earth;

20+ That he might hear the mournings of such as are in cap-ti-vity: and deliver the children appointed unto { death

;

21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Si-on: and his worship at Je- rusa-lem; 22 † When the people are gathered to- { gether: and the kingdoms also,* to serve the Lord. } 23 He brought down my strength in my { journey: and shortened my days. {

24 But I said,* O my God, take me not away
