42 And he brought forth his | people with | joy: and his chosen with | gladness; 43 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they took the labours of the | people | in · possession. 44 That they might | keep his | statutes: and|· ob | serve his laws. DAY 21.] 09 EVENING PRAYER. Psalm cvi. Confitemini Domino. GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for | he is gracious and his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Who can express the noble | acts of the | Lord or shew forth | all his | praise? 3 Blessed are they that alway· keep | judgement and do | righteousness. 4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou bearest | unto thy | people: 0 | visit · me with thy sal | vation ; 5 That I may see the felicity | of· thy | chosen : and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give | thanks with | thine inheritance. 6 We have sinned with our fathers: we have done a miss, and | dealt | wickedly. • re 7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness | in membrance: but were disobedient at the sea, even at the | Red sea. 8 Nevertheless, he helped them for his | Name's sake: that he might make his | pow · er | to · be | known. 9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up so he led them through the deep,· as through a wilderness. 10 And he saved them from the | adversary's | hand: and delivered them from the hand · of the enemy. 11 As for those that troubled them, the waters | overwhelmed them: there was not | one of · them left. 12 Then believed they his | words: and |· sang praise un | to him." 13 But within a while they for | gat · his | works : and would not a | bide his counsel. 14 But lust came upon them | in the | wilderness: and they | tempted | God in the desert. 15 And he gave them | their desire: and sent leanness with al. in | to their | soul. 16 They angered Moses also and Aaron the | saint of the in · the | tents : Lord. 17 So the earth opened, and swallowed · up | Dathan and covered the congregation of· Abiram. 18 And the fire was kindled | in their | company: the flame | burnt up the ungodly. 19 They made a calf in | Horeb: and worshipped the mol·ten | image. 20 Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calf that eat eth | hay. 21 And they forgat | God their | Saviour: who had done so great | things in Egypt. 22 Wondrous works in the land· of | Ham: and fearful things by the | Red | sea. 23 So he said, he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him | in the gap: to turn away his wrathful indignation, | lest he should destroy them. 24 Yea, they thought scorn of that | pleasant| land: and gave no | credence | unto his | word; 25 But murmured in their tents and hearkened not | un to the voice of the Lord. 26 Then lift he up his hand against them : to over throw them in the | wilderness. 27 To cast out their seed among the nations: and to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined themselves unto | Baal | peor : and ate the offerings of the dead. 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their | own inventions: and the plague was great • among them. 30 Then stood up | Phineas and prayed: and so the plague ceased. 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness: among all posterities · for | ev · er more. 32 They angered him also at the waters of strife: so that he punished | Moses | for their sakes; 33 Because they provoked his spirit: so that he spake unadvised.ly | with his lips. 34 Neither destroyed they the | heathen: as the Lord commanded them; 35 But were mingled among the | heathen: and || learned their works. 36 Insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay: yea, they offered their sons and their daughters | unto | devils; 37 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters: whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan; and the | land · was defiled with blood. 38 Thus were they stained with their own | works and went a whoring | with their | own · inventions. 39 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people: insomuch that he ab | horred his own inheritance. 40 And he gave them over into the hand of the heathen: and they that | hated them were | lords over them. oppressed them : and | 41 Their enemies had them in subjection. 42 Many a time did he deliver them: but they rebelled against him with their own inventions, and were brought down | in their | wickedness. 43 Nevertheless, when he saw · their ad | versity: he heard | their · complaint. 44 He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his | mercies: yea, he made all those that led them away | captive to pity them. 45 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen: that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, and make our boast of thy praise. 46 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and world | with out | end: and let all the | people | say, · A | men. DAY 22.] MORNING PRAYER. Psalm cvii. Confitemini Domino. Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gra Ocious and his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed: and delivered from the hand of the | enemy. 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west: from the | north, · and from the south. 4 They went astray in the wilderness | out of the way: and | found no | city to | dwell in; 5 Hungry | and | thirsty: their | soul | faint · ed in them. 6 So thy cried unto the Lord | in · their | trouble: and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them forth by the right way: that they might go to the city where they | dwelt. 8 O that men would therefore praise the Lord · for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth the empty soul: and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 10 Such as sit in darkness, and in the | shadow of death: being fast | bound in | misery · and | iron. 11 Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord and lightly regarded the | counsel of the most Highest. 12 He also brought down their heart · through | heaviness: they fell down, and there was none • to help them. 13 So when they cried unto the Lord | in their | trouble: he delivered them out ・ of | their· dis | tress. 14 For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death: and | brake their | bonds in sunder. . 15 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the | children of | men! 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass: and smitten the bars of iron in sunder. 17 Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their wickedness. 18 Their soul abhorred all | manner · of | meat : and they were even | hard at | death's door. 19 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered them out of their. distress. |
