Morning Prayer. PSALM viii. Domine, Dominus noster. Tone 5. A. (2.) p. 8. O LORD our Governour,* how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy { glory a-bove the heavens! Tone 5. A. (2.) p. 8. 2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength,* because of thine { en-emies that thou mightest still the enemy, { and the a-ven-ger. 3 For I will consider thy heavens,* even the works of thy fin-gers: the moon and the stars, { which thou hast or-dained. 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of { hím : and the son of man, { that thou visit-est him? 5 Thou madest him lower than the an-gels: to crown him with glory and wor-ship. - 6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and thou hast put all things in sub- jec-tion under his feet; } 7 All sheep and ox-en: yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowls of the air,* and the fishes of the sea: and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas. 9 (f) O Lord our Go-vernour: how excellent is thy Name in all the world! PSALM XV. Domine, quis habitabit? Tone 8. A. (1.) p. 13. LORD, who shall dwell in thy tab-ernacle: or who shall rest upon thy { ho-ly hill? 2 Even he, that leadeth an uncorrupt { life: and doeth the thing which is right,* and speaketh the truth { from his heart. 3 He that hath used no deceit in his tongue,* nor done evil to his neigh-bour: and hath not { } slandered his neigh-bour. 4 He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes and maketh much of them that { fear the Lord. 5 He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not: though it were to his { own hin-drance. 6 He that hath not given his money upon u-sury: nor taken reward against the inno cent. 7 (1) Whoso doeth these things: shall nev-er fall. |
