Psalm lxiii. Deus, Deus meus.

TONE 2.

O God, thou art my God : early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee*, my flesh also longeth after thee : in a barren and dry land where no water is.

Thus have I looked for thee in hólīness : that I might behold thy power ånd glóry.

For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself : my lips shåll praise thee.

As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner : and lift up my hands in thy Name.

My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness : when my mouth praíseth thee with joyful lips.

Have I not remembered thee in my bed : and thought upon thee when I wis wáking?

Because thou hast been my helper : therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul hangeth upon thee : thy right hand hath úpholden me.

These also that seek the hurt of my soul : they shall go under the earth.

Let them fall upon the edge of the sword : that they may be a portion för fóxes.

But the King shall rejoice in God*; all they also that swear by him shall be commended : for the mouth of them that speak líes shall bě stopped.

Psalm lxiv. Exaudi, Deus.

TONE 7.

my life from de from the currection

HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer : preserve my life from fear of the éněmy.

Hide me from the gathering together of the fróward : and from the insurrection of wickěd doers;

Who have whet their tongue like a sword : and shoot out their arrows, évěn bitter words;

That they may privily shoot at hím thăt is perfect : suddenly do they hít hăm, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in mischief : and commune among themselves how they may lay snares*, and say, that nó màn shall see them.

They imagine wickedness, ånd práctise it ; that they keep secret among themselves *, every man in the deep òf his heart.

But God shall suddenly shoot at them with ă swift arrow : that they shăll be wounded.

Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall : insomuch that whoso seeth them shall laugh thěm to scórn.

And all men that see it shall say, This hath God done : for they shall perceive that it is hís work.

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put his trust in him : and all they that are true of heart shall bě glad.

Psalm lxv. Te decet hymnus.

TONE 1.

Thou, O God, art praísěd in Sion : and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerúsalem.

Thou that hearest the prayer : unto thee shåll áll flesh come. · My misdeeds prěvail against me : O be thou mérciful unto our síns.

Blessed is the man, whom thou choosest, and receívěst unto thee : he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house*, even of thy holý temple.

Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation : thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth *, and of them that remain in thě broad seá.

Who stilleth the ráging of the sea : and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens : thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise thee.

Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it : thou makest it very plenteous.

The river of God is full of water : thou preparest their corn *, for so thou prováděst for the earth.

Thou waterest her furrows *, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof : thou makest it soft with the drops of rain *, and blessest the increăse of it.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness : and thy clouds drop fatness.

wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land : so that they went through the water on foot*; there did we rejoice thereof.

He ruleth with his power for ever* ; his eyes behold the people : and such as will not believe shall not be able to exált themselves.

O praise our God, ye people : and make the voice of his praise to be heard ;

Who holdeth our soul in life : and suffereth not our feet to slip.

For thou, O God, hast próvěd us : thou also hast tried us, like as sílvěr is tried.

Thou broughtest us into the snare : and laidest trouble ŭpon our loíns.

Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads : we went through fire and water*, and thou broughtest us out into å wealthy place.

I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings : and will pay thee my vows*, which I promised with my lips, and spáke with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams : I will offer bullocks and goats.

O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God : and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.
