II I put on sackcloth | al- | -so: and they 1 jested up- |-on | me. 12 They that sit in the gate speak a- | -gainst me: and the drunkards make songs up- | -on me. 13 But Lord I make my prayer | unto | thee: in an ac- |-ceptable | time. 14 Hear me O God, in the multitude of thy mer- |-cy: even in the truth of | thy sal- | -va-tion. 15 Take me out of the mire, that I | sink I | not: O let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the | deep | wa- | -ters. 16 Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up and let not the pit shut her mouth up- | -on me. 17 Hear me O Lord, for thy loving-kindness is còmfort--a- | -ble turn thee unto me, according to the multitude of thy | mer- |-cies. 18 And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trou- |-ble: O hàste | thee, and | hear | me. 19 Draw nigh unto my soul, and save | it : O deliver me, because | of mine |-ene- | -mies. 20 Thou hast known my reproof, my shame, and my dis- |-hon- | -our: mine àdversaries are | all | in thy | sight. 21 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart; I am full of heavi- | -ness : I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to | comfort | me. 22 They gave me | gall to eat and when I was thirsty they gàve me | vine- | -gar to drink. 23 Let their table be made a snare to take them--selves with- al: and let the things that should have been for their wealth, bè unto them an oc- |-casion of | fall- | -ing. : 24 Let their eyes be blinded, that they | see not and èver bow thou | down their backs. 25 Pour out thine indignation up- | -on them and let thy wràthful dis- |-pleasure take hold of them. 26 Let their habi- | -tation be | void : and nò man to dwell | in their | tents. 27 For they persecute him whom thou hast | smit- |-ten: and they talk how they may vex thèm whom thou hast | wound- | -ed. 28 Let them fall from one wickedness tò an--o--ther and not còme | into thy | righteous--ness. 29 Let them be wiped out of the book of the living and not be written a- | -mong the right--eous. 30 As for me when I am poor, and in | heavi- |-ness thy hèlp, O God, shall lift me up. 31 I will praise the Name of Gòd, | with a song and magnify it with thanks--giv-ing. 32 This also shall | please the Lord better than a bullock | that hath | horns and | hoofs. 33 The humble shall consider this, and be glad seek ye after Gòd, and your shall | live. 34 For the Lòrd | heareth the | poor despiseth, not his | prison- |-ers. soul and : 35 Let heaven and eàrth | praise him the sèa, and all that | moveth there- | -in. 36 For God will save Sion, and build the cities of Ju- |-dah: that men may dwell there, and have it | in pos- |-ses- | -sion. 37 The posterity also of his servants, shall in--herit it and they that love his | Name shall | dwell there- | -in. PSALM lxxxviii.-Domine Deus. LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night be- | -fore | thee: O let my prayer enter into thy presence, incline thine eàr unto my call- | -ing. 2 For my soul is full of | trou- | -ble : and my life dràweth | nigh | unto | hell. 3 I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit and I have been èven 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 cùt a- | -way | from thy hand. 5 Thou hast laid me in the | lowest | pit : in a plàce of darkness, and in the deep. 6 Thine indignation lieth hàrd up- |-on | me : and thou hast vèxed | me with | all thy | storms. 7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance fàr | from me and made me to bè ab- | -horred of them. 8 I am so fast in | pri- | -son that I | cannot |get forth. 9 My sight faileth for vèry | trou- | -ble Lord : I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands | unto thee. 10 Dost thou show wònders a--mong the dead or shall the dead rise up a- | -gain, and praise thee? II 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 abhòrrest | thou my | soul and hidest thou thy | face from me? : 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 sùffered with a troubled mind. 16 Thy wrathful displeasure gòeth | over and the fear of thee | hath un--done me me. 17 They came round about me daily, like wa- | -ter and còmpassed me to- | -gether on every side. : 18 My lovers and friends hast thou put a--way from me : and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight. INSTEAD OF THE "VENITE," ON EASTER-DAY. CHRIST 'HRIST our passover is sacrificed | for | us: therefore let us keep the feast; Not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wicked--ness: but with the unleavened bread of sin- |-ceri- | -ty and | truth. I Cor. v. 7. CHRIST "HRIST being raised from the dead | dieth no more : death hath no mòre do|-minion | over | him. For in that he died, he died unto | sin | once: but in that he liveth, he | liveth unto | God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto | sin but alive unto Gòd through | Jesus Christ our | Lord. Rom. vi. 9. CH : 'HRIST is rìsen | from the | dead | slept. and them that For since by man came | death by man came also the rèsur- | -rection | of the | dead. For as in A'dam | all die : even so in Christ shall all be made a- |-live. I Cor. xv. 20. Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and èver | shall be world with- | -out | end. A- | -men. : |
