time and in the days of dearth they shåll have ĕnough.

As for the ungodly, they shall perish*; and the enemies of the Lord shall consúme as the fat of lambs yea, even as the smoke, shall they consúme away.

The ungodly borroweth, and páyěth not again : but the righteous is mérciful, and líbĕral.

Such as are blessed of God* shall possess the land: and they that are cursed of him* shall bě roóted out. The Lord ordereth a good man's going: and maketh his way accéptable to himself.

Though he fall*, he shall not be cast away: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

:

I have been young*, and now am old and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken", nor his seed begging their breád.

The righteous is ever mérciful, and léndeth : and his seed is blessed.

Flee from evil*, and do the thing that is good and dwell for évěrmore.

For the Lord loveth the thing that is right: he forsaketh not his that be godly, but they are presérvěd

for éver.

The unrighteous shall be púnished: as for the seed of the ungodly*, it shall be rooted out.

The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein for ever.

TONE 1.

The mouth of the righteous is éxercised in wísdom: and his tongue will be tálking of júdgment.

:

The law of his God is in his heart and his goings shall not slíde.

The ungodly séĕth the ríghteous and seeketh occásion to sláy him.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand : nor condemn him when he is judged.

Hope thou in the Lord, and keep his way*, and he shall promote thee, that thou shalt posséss the land: when the ungodly shall perish, thou shalt see it.

I myself have seen the ungodly in great power: and flourishing like a green báy-tree.

I went by*, and lo, he was gone : I sought him* but his place could no where be found.

Keep innocency, and take heed unto the thing that is right for that shall bring a măn peace at the last.

As for the transgressors*, they shall pérish togéther and the end of the ungodly is*, they shall be rooted out at the last.

But the salvation of the righteous cómeth of the Lord who is also their strength in the time of trouble.

And the Lord shall stand by them, and save them : he shall deliver them from the ungodly, and shall save them*, because they put their trúst in him.

PSALM XXXviii. Domine, ne in furore.

(ASH WEDNESDAY. MORN.)

TONE 3.

PUT me not to rebuke, O Lord, in thine anger : neither chasten me in thy heávý displeasure.

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

There is no health in my flesh, because of thy displeasure neither is there any rest in my bones*, by reason of my sín.

For my wickednesses are gone over my head: and are like a sore burden*, too heavy for me to beár. My wounds stink, and are corrupt through my foolishness.

I am brought into such great troúble and mísěry: that I go mourning all the day long.

For my loins are filled with a sóre disease: and there is no whóle part in my body.

I am feeble, and sore smitten: I have roared for the very disquietness of my heart.

:

Lord, thou knowest all my desire and my groáning is not híd from thee.

My heart panteth*, my stréngth hath failed me : and the sight of mine éyes is góne from me.

My lovers and my neighbours did stand looking upon my trouble: and my kinsmen stood afar off.

TONE 3.

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 deceit * all the day long.

As for me, I was like a deaf man, and heard not: and as one that is dúmb, and doth not open his mouth.

I became even as a man that heáreth not and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust thou shalt answer for me*, O Lord my Gód.

I have required that they, even mine enemies, should not triumph over me for when my foot slipped, they rejoiced greatly against me.

And I, truly, am set in the plague and my heaviness is évěr in my sight.

For I will conféss my wickedness: and be sorry for my sín.

But mine enemies live, and are mighty: and they that hate me wrongfully* are many in númber.

They also that reward evil for good are against me because I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: bé not thou fár from me.

Háste thee to help me : O Lord God of my salvátion.

PSALM XXXIX. Dixi, custodium.

(BURIAL OFFICE.)

TONE 7.

I SAID, I will take heed to my ways: that I offénd not in my tongue.

I will keep my mouth as it were with a brídle : while the ungodly is in my sight.

I held my tongue, and spake nothing I kept silence, yea, even from good words*; but it was paín ănd grief to me.

My heart was hot within me*, and while I was thus músing, the fire kíndled : and at the lást I spake with my tongue;

Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days that I may be certified how long I have to líve.

Behold, thou hast made my days as it were ă span long and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee*; and verily every man living is altogéthěr vánĭty.

For man walketh in a vain shadow*, and disquíeteth himself in vain : he heapeth up riches*, and cannot tell who shåll gáther them.

And now, Lord, what is my hope truly my hope is even in theé.

Deliver me from áll mine offences and make me not a rebúke unto the foolish.

:

I became dumb, and opened not my mouth for it was thý doing.
