cities of Ju-dah: that men may dwell there, and have it in pos-ses-sion. 37 (f) The posterity also of his servants { shall in-herit it: and they that love his { Name shall dwell there-in. PSALM lxxxviii. Domine Deus. Tone 3. A. p. 4. O LORD God of my salvation,* I have cried day and night before thee: O let my prayer enter into thy presence,* incline thine ear {unto my call-ing. : 2 For my soul is full of trou-ble and my life draweth nigh un-to hell. 3 I am counted as one of them that go down { into the pit and I have been even as a { man that hath no strength. 4 Free among the dead,* like unto them that are wounded, and lie in the grave: who are out of } remembrance, and are cut a- { way from thy hand. 5 Thou hast laid me in the low-est pit: in a place of darkness, and in the deep. 6 Thine indignation lieth { hard up-on me: and thou hast vexed me with all thy storms. Tone 3. A. p. 4. 7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance { far from me and made me to be ab- { hor-red of them. 8 I am so fast in pri-son: that I can-not get forth. } 9 My sight faileth for {ve-ry trou-ble: Lord, I have called daily upon thee,* I have stretched { forth my hands unto thee. 10 Dost thou shew wonders a- {mong the dead: or shall the dead rise up again, and praise thee? 11 Shall thy loving-kindness be shewed { in the grave: or thy faithfulness in de-struc-tion? 12 Shall thy wondrous works be known { in the dark and thy righteousness in the land where all things are for-got-ten? 13 Unto thee have I cried, O Lord: and early shall my prayer come be-fore thee. 14 Lord, why abhorrest { thou hidest thou thy face from me? my : soul and 15 I am in misery,* and like unto him that is at the point to die: even from my youth up* thy terrors have I suffered { with a trou-bled mind. 16 Thy wrathful displeasure go-eth o-ver me: and the fear of thee hath un-done me. 17 They came round about me { daily like water: and compassed me to- {gether on eve-ry side. 18 My lovers and friends hast thou put a- { way from me and hid mine ac- quaint-ance { out of my sight. EASTER DAY. Morning Prayer. Instead of the "Venite," these Anthems shall be sung. Tone 1. B. p. 1. CHRIST our passover is sacri-ficed for us : therefore { let us keep the feast; Not with the old leaven of malice and wicked-ness: but with the unleavened { bread of sin-ceri-ty and truth.-(1. Cor. v. 7.) Tone 1. A. (1.) p. 1. CHRIST being raised from the dead dieth no more: death hath no more do-mi-nion o-ver him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liv-eth un-to God. Tone 1, A. p. 1. Like-wise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed un-to sin but alive un-to God, through Je-sus Christ our Lord.-(Rom. vi. 9.) (f) Christ is risen { from the dead: and be- } come the first-fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death: by man came also the re-sur-rec-tion of the dead. For as in Adam all die: even so in { Christ shall all be made a-live.-(1. Cor. xv. 20.) Glo-ry be to the Father,* and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost ; As it was in the beginning,* is now, and { ev-er shall be world with- out end. A-men. [PROPER PSALMS.—ii, lvii, cxi.] PSALM ii, Quare fremuerunt gentes? Tone 6. (1.) p. 11. WHY do the heathen so furiously } rage to-gether; and why do the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take { counsel to-ge-ther: against the Lord, and against his A-noint-ed. 3 Let us break their bonds a-sun-der: and cast a- { way their cords from us. 4 (f) He that dwelleth in heaven shall { laugh them - to scorn: the Lord shall have them { in de-ri-sion. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath: and vex them in his { sore dis-plea-sure. 6 Yet have I set my King: upon my holy { hill of Si-on. 7 Iwill 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-ter's 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. |
