PRINCE

Principes persecuti sunt.

RINCES have persecuted me with-out a cause :
my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

162 I am as glad of thy word:

As one that findeth great spoils.

163 As for lies, I hate and ab-hor them: But thy law do I love.

164 Seven times a day do I praise thee:

Because of thy right-eous judgements.

165 Great is the peace that they have who love thy law:
And they are not of-fend-ed at it.
166 Lord, I have looked for thy sav-ing health :
And done aft-er thy com-mandments.

167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies :
And lov-ed them ex-ceedingly.

168 I have kept thy com-mandments and testimonies : For all my ways are be-fore thee.

L

Appropinquet deprecatio.

ET my complaint come before thee, O Lord:
Give me understanding, ac-cord-ing to thy word.

170 Let my supplication come be-fore thee:

Deliver me, ac-cord-ing to thy word.

171 My lips shall speak of thy praise:

When thou hast taught me thy statutes. 172 Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word: For all thy com-mandments are righteous.

173 Let thine hand help me :

For I have cho-sen thy com-mandments.

174 I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord: And in thy law is my de-light.

175 O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee: And thy judge-ments shall help me.

176 I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost:

O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy com-mandments.

DAY 27.]

Morning Prayer.

PSALM CXX. Ad Dominum.

HEN I was in trouble I called up-on the Lord:
And he heard me.

[ocr errors]

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from ly-ing lips:

And from a de-ceit-ful tongue.

3 What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false

tongue :

Even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burn-ing coals. 4 Wo is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech: And to have my habitation a-mong the tents of Kedar. 5 My soul hath long dwelt a-mong、them :

That are ene-mies un-to peace.

6 I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them there-of: They make them ready to battle.

I

[blocks in formation]

WILL lift up mine eyes un-to the hills:
From whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh even from the Lord:
Who hath made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: And he that keepeth thee will not sleep. 4 Behold, he that keep-eth Israel:

Shall nei-ther slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord himself is thy keeper :

The Lord is thy de-fence up-on thy right-hand ; 6 So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: Nei-ther the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : Yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy com-ing in : From this time forth for ev-er-more.

PSALM CXXII.

Lætatus sum.

I Lord.

WAS glad when they said un-to me:

2 Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O'Je-ru-sa-lem.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city:

That is at uni-ty in it-self.

4 For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord: To testify unto Israel, to give thanks un-to the Name of the Lord.

5 For there is the seat of judgement:

Even the seat of the house of David. 6 O pray for the peace of Je-rusalem : They shall pros-per that love thee.

7 Peace be with-in thy walls :

And plenteous-ness with-in thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and com-pa-nions' sakes : I will wish thee pros-perity.

9 Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God: I will seek to do thee good.

PSALM CXXIII. Ad te levavi oculos meos.

NTO thee lift I

UNT

[blocks in formation]

O thou that dwell-est in the heavens.

2 Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress :

Even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he have mercy up-on us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy up-on us : For we are ut-ter-ly de-spised.

4 Our soul is filled with the scornful reproof of the wealthy: And with the de-spiteful-ness of the proud.

PSALM CXXIV. Nisi quia Dominus.

F the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may

IF Is-rael say:

If the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up a-gainst、us ;

2 They had swallowed us up quick :

When they were so wrathfully dis-pleas-ed at us.

3 Yea, the waters had drowned us :

And the stream had gone over our soul.

4 The deep waters of the proud :

Had gone even over our soul.

5 But praised be the Lord :

Who hath not given us over for a prey un-to their teeth. 6 Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler :

The snare is broken, and we are de-livered.

7 Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord:

Who hath made heaven and earth.

THEY

PSALM CXXV. Qui confidunt.

HEY that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount Sion.

Which may not be removed, but stand-eth fast for ever.

2 The hills stand a-bout Je-rusalem:

Even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for ev-er-more.

3 For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous:

Lest the righteous put their hand un-to wickedness.

4 Do well, O Lord:

Unto those that are good and true of heart.

5 As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness:

The Lord shall lead them forth with the evil-doers; but

peace shall be upon Israel.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM CXXVI. In convertendo.

THEN the Lord turned again the cap-tivity of Sion:

WHEN

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter:

And our tongue with joy.

3 Then said they a-mong the heathen :

The Lord hath done great things for them.

4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us al-ready: Where-o f we re-joice.

5 Turn our cap-tivity, O Lord:

As the ri-vers in the south.

6 They that sow in tears:

Shall reap in joy.

7 He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed:

Shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

PSALM CXXVII. Nisi Dominus.

XCEPT the Lord build the house:

Excer bouros dit lost that buildsit.

2 Except the Lord keep the city:

The watchman wak-eth but in vain.

3 It is but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of carefulness:

For so he giveth his be-lov-ed sleep.

4 Lo, children and the fruit of the womb :

Are an heritage and gift that com-eth of the Lord. 5 Like as the arrows in the hand of the giant :

Even so are the young children.

6 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:

They shall not be ashamed when they speak with their ene-mies in the gate.

B

PSALM CXXVIII. Beati omnes.

LESSED are all they that fear the Lord:
And wa lk in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thine hands:
O well is thee, and hap-py shalt thou be.
3 Thy wife shall be as the fruit-ful vine :
Upon the walls of thine house.

4 Thy children like the o-live branches :
Round a-bout thy table.

5 Lo, thus shall the man be blessed : That feareth the Lord.

6 The Lord from out of Sion shall so bless thee:

That thou shalt see Jerusalem in pros-perity all thy life long. 7 Yea, that thou shalt see thy chil-dren's children :

And peace up-on Israel.

ANY a time have they fought against me from my youth up :
May Is-ra-el now say.

2 Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth up : But they have not pre-vailed a-gainst me.

3 The plowers plowed up-on my back :

And made long furrows.

4 But the right-eous Lord:

Hath hewn the snares of the un-godly in pieces. 5 Let them be confounded and turn-ed backward:

As many as have e-vil will at Sion.

6 Let them be even as the grass growing up-on the house-tops: Which withereth afore it be pluck-ed up;

7 Whereof the mower filleth not his hand :

Neither he that bindeth up the sheaves his bosom.

8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The Lord

pros-per you :

We wish you good luck in the Name of the Lord.

PSALM CXXX. De profundis.

UT of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord :
Lord, hear my voice.

2 O let thine ears con-si-der well:

The voice of my com-plaint.

3 If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done a-miss:

O Lord, who may a-bide it?
