%@HDR OXQUOTE cass 18 v:8 Prayer Book onwards VEJ 13.3.79%@ %S%(PRAYER BOOK%)%%1662 %PIt hath been the wisdom of the Church of England, ever since the first compiling of her Publick Liturgy, to keep the mean between the two extremes, of too much stiffness in refusing, and of too much easiness in admitting any variation from it. %Q%3The Preface %PThere was never any thing by the wit of man so well devised, or so sure established, which in continuance of time hath not been corrupted. %QConcerning the Service of the Church %PDearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart. %Q%3Morning Prayer. %1After the beginning Sentences %PI pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace. %PWe have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. %QGeneral Confession %PWe have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. %PRestore thou them that are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life. %PAnd forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. %QThe Lord's Prayer. See %N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N%N %PGlory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. %Q%3Gloria %PWe praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting. To thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the Powers therein. To thee Cherubin, and Seraphin: continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of thy Glory. The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee. The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise thee. The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee. %Q%3Te Deum. %1See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PWhen thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. %PDay by day: we magnify thee; And we worship thy Name: ever world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in thee. O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded. %PO all ye Works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord. %Q%3Benedicite %PO ye Waters that be above the Firmament, bless ye the Lord. %PO ye Showers, and Dew, bless ye the Lord: praise him, and magnify him for ever.

O ye Nights, and Days, bless ye the Lord: praise him, and magnify him for ever. %PO let the Earth bless the Lord: yea, let it praise him, and magnify him for ever. %PO all ye Green Things upon the Earth, bless ye the Lord: praise him, and magnify him for ever. %PO ye Whales, and all that move in the Waters, bless ye the Lord: praise him, and magnify him for ever. %PI believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholick Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen. %QThe Apostles' Creed. See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PGive peace in our time, O Lord. %QVersicle %PO God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom;

and dost promise, that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them. %QPrayer of St. Chrysostom %PO God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give. %Q%3Evening Prayer. %1Second Collect %PLighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night. %QThird Collect %PWhosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick Faith. %Q%3At Morning Prayer. %1Athanasian Creed. %3Quicunque vult %PAnd the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance. %PThere are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. %PPerfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting; Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood. %PHave mercy upon us miserable sinners. %Q%3The Litany %PFrom all evil and mischief; from sin, from the crafts and assaults of the devil; from thy wrath, and from everlasting damnation, %*Good Lord, deliver us. %FFrom all blindness of heart; from pride, vain-glory, and hypocrisy; from envy, hatred, and malice, and from all uncharitableness, %*Good Lord, deliver us. %FFrom fornication, and all other deadly sin;

in all time of our wealth; in the hour of death, and in the day of judgement, %*Good Lord, deliver us. %PThat it may please thee to illuminate all Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, with true knowledge and understanding of thy Word; and that both by their preaching and living they may set it forth, and show it accordingly; %*We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. %PThat it may please thee to strengthen such as do stand; and to comfort and help the weak-hearted; and to raise up them that fall; and finally to beat down Satan under our feet; %*We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. %PThat it may please thee to preserve all that travel by land or by water, all women labouring of child, all sick persons, and young children; and to shew thy pity upon all prisoners and captives; %*We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. %FThat it may please thee to defend, and provide for, the fatherless children, and widows, and all that are desolate and oppressed; %*We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. %PThat it may please thee to give and preserve to our use the kindly fruits of the earth, so as in due time we may enjoy them; %*We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord. %PO God, merciful Father, that despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, not the desire of such as be sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers that we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us. %PO God, whose nature and property is ever to have mercy and to forgive, receive our humble petitions; and though we be tied and bound by the chain of our sins, yet let the pitifulness of thy great mercy loose us; for the honour of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Advocate. %Q%3Prayers and Thanksgivings, upon Several Occasions %PO God, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we humbly beseech thee for all sorts and conditions of men. %QCollect or Prayer for all Conditions of Men %PWe pray for the good estate of the Catholick Church; that it may be so guided and governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth. %PWe commend to thy fatherly goodness all those, who are any ways afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate; that it may please thee to comfort and relieve them, according to their several necessities, giving them patience under their sufferings, and a happy issue out of all their afflictions. %PWe bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. %QGeneral Thanksgiving %PO God our heavenly Father, who by thy gracious providence dost cause the former and the latter rain to descend upon the earth, that it may bring forth fruit for the use of man; We give thee humble thanks that it hath pleased thee, in our great necessity, to send us at the last a joyful rain upon thine inheritance, and to refresh it when it was dry. %QThanksgiving for Rain %PAlmighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility. %Q%3Collects. %11st Sunday in Advent %PBlessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning;

Keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul. %Q2nd Sunday in Lent %PWe humbly beseech thee, that, as by thy special grace preventing us thou dost put into our minds good desires, so by thy continued help we may bring the same to good effect. %QEaster Day %PGrant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may alway serve thee in pureness of living and truth. %Q1st Sunday after Easter %PO Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men; Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found. %Q4th Sunday after Easter %PWe beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before. %QSunday after Ascension Day %PGod, who as at this time, didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by the sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgement in all things. %QWhit-Sunday %PBecause through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping of thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed. %Q1st Sunday after Trinity %PO God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. %Q4th Sunday after Trinity %PGrant, O Lord, we beseech thee, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy governance, that thy Church may joyfully serve thee in all godly quietness. %Q5th Sunday after Trinity %PO God, who hast prepared for them that love thee such good things as pass man's understanding; Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire. %Q6th Sunday after Trinity %PLord of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things; Graft in our hearts the love of thy Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same. %Q7th Sunday after Trinity %PPour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy;

And if any of those be an open and notorious evil liver, or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; the Curate, having knowledge thereof, shall call him and advertise him, that in any wise he presume not to come to the Lord's Table, until he have openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former naughty life. %Q%3Holy Communion. %1Introductory rubric %PThe Table, at the Communion-time having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in the Body of the Church, or in the Chancel. %PAlmighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name. %QCollect %PIncline our hearts to keep this law. %QResponse to Commandments %PThou shalt do no murder. %Q6th Commandment. See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PI believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father, By whom all things were made. %QNicene Creed. See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PAnd I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one Catholick and Apostolick Church. %QSee %N%N%N%N%N%N%N %PLet us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church militant here in earth. %QPrayer for the Church Militant %PWe humbly beseech thee most mercifully to accept our alms and oblations, and to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy Divine Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: And grant, that all they that do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity, and godly love. %PGrant unto her whole Council, and to all that are put in authority under her, that they may truly and indifferently minister justice. %Q(Of the Queen's government.) %PGive grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and Curates, that they may both by their life and doctrine set forth thy true and lively Word. %PWe most humbly beseech thee of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all them, who in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear. %PBecause it is requisite, that no man should come to the holy Communion, but with a full trust in God's mercy, and with a quiet conscience; therefore if there be any of you, who by this means cannot quiet his own conscience herein, but requireth further comfort or counsel, let him come to me, or to some other discreet and learned Minister of God's Word, and open his grief. %QFirst Exhortation %PYe that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love and charity with your neighbours, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God, and walking from henceforth in his holy ways; Draw near with faith, and take this holy Sacrament to your comfort; and make your humble confession to Almighty God, meekly kneeling upon your knees. %QThe Invitation %PWe do earnestly repent, And are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The burden of them is intolerable. %QGeneral Confession %PHear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all that truly turn to him. %QThe Comfortable Words %PLift up your hearts. %QVersicles and Responses %PIt is meet and right so to do. %PIt is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory: Glory be to thee, O Lord most High. %QHymn of Praise. See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PAlmighty God, our heavenly Father, who of thy tender mercy didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption; who made there (by his one oblation of himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world. %QPrayer of Consecration %PWho, in the same night that he was betrayed, took Bread; and, when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat, this is my Body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise after supper he took the Cup; and, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins: Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. %PAlthough we be unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences. %Q1st Prayer of Oblation %PWe are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom. %Q2nd (alternative) Prayer of Oblation %PThe blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you and remain with you always. %QThe Blessing %PAssist us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help. %QCollects after the Offertory, 1 %PPrevent us, O Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favour, and further us with thy continual help; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy Name. %Q4 %PThose things, which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, vouchsafe to give us, for the worthiness of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. %Q5 %PIt is expedient that Baptism be administered in the vulgar tongue. %Q%3Publick Baptism of Infants. %1Introductory rubric %PO merciful God, grant that the old Adam in this Child may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up in him. %QInvocation of blessing on the child %PHumbly we beseech thee to grant, that he, being dead unto sin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in his death, may crucify the old man, and utterly abolish the whole body of sin. %QThanksgiving %PAnd as for you, who have now by Baptism put on Christ, it is your part and duty also, being made the children of God and of the light, by faith in Jesus Christ, to walk answerably to your Christian calling, and as becometh the children of light. %Q%3Publick Baptism of Such as are of Riper Years. %1Priest's final address %P%3Question. %1What is your Name? %3Answer. %1N or M. %3Question. %1Who gave you this Name? %3Answer. %1My Godfathers and Godmothers in my Baptism; wherein I was made a member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. %Q%3Catechism %PI should renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh. %P%3Question. %1What dost thou chiefly learn by these Commandments? %3Answer. %1I learn two things: my duty towards God, and my duty to my Neighbour. %PMy duty towards my Neighbour, is to love him as myself, and to do to all men, as I would they should do unto me. %PTo submit myself to all my governors, teachers, spiritual pastors and masters. %PTo keep my hands from picking and stealing, and my tongue from evil-speaking, lying, and slandering. %PNot to covet nor desire other men's goods; but to learn and labour truly to get mine own living, and to do my duty in that state of life, unto which it shall please God to call me. %P%3Question. %1How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church? %3Answer. %1Two only, as generally necessary to salvation, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. %3Question. %1What meanest thou by this word %3Sacrament? %3Answer. %1I mean an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. %POur help is in the name of the Lord; Who hath made heaven and earth. %Q%3Order of Confirmation %PLord, hear our prayers. And let our cry come unto thee. %PDefend, O Lord, this thy Child [%3or %1this thy Servant] with thy heavenly grace, that he may continue thine for ever; and daily increase in thy holy Spirit more and more, until he come unto thy everlasting kingdom. %PIf any of you know cause, or just impediment, why these two persons should not be joined together in holy Matrimony, ye are to declare it. This is the first [%3second, %1or %3third%1] time of asking. %Q%3Solemnization of Matrimony. %1The Banns %PDearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony. %QExhortation %PWhich holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence, and first miracle that he wrought, in Cana of Galilee; and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men: and therefore not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly, to satisfy men's carnal lusts and appetites, like brute beasts that have no understanding. %PFirst, It was ordained for the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and to the praise of his holy Name. %PIf any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace. %PWilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live? %QBetrothal %PI %3N %1take thee %3N %1 to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth. The Man will have used the words "I plight thee my troth' and not "to obey'. %PWith this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow. %QWedding %PThose whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. %PForasmuch as %3N %1and %3N %1have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth either to other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a Ring, and by joining of hands; I pronounce that they be Man and Wife together. %QMinister's declaration %PPeace be to this house, and to all that dwell in it. %Q%3Visitation of the Sick %PUnto God's gracious mercy and protection we commit thee. %PThe Office ensuing is not to be used for any that die unbaptized, or excommunicate, or have laid violent hands upon themselves. %Q%3Burial of the Dead. %1Introductory rubric %PMan that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. %QFirst anthem. See %N%N%N%N%N%N%N %PIn the midst of life we are in death. %PForasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself. %QInterment %PBlessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners: and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful. %Q%3Psalms %11:1 %PWhy do the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing? %Q2:1 %PLet us break their bonds asunder: and cast away their cords from us. %Q3 %PThe Lord shall have them in derision. %Q4 %PThou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron: and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. %Q9 %PKiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way: if his wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,) blessed are all they that put their trust in him. %Q12 %PStand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still. %Q4:4 %PLord, lift thou up: the light of thy countenance upon us. %Q7 %PI will lay me down in peace, and take my rest. %Q9 %PThe Lord will abhor both the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. %Q5:6 %PMake thy way plain before my face. %Q8 %PLet them perish through their own imaginations. %Q11 %PI am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed: and water my couch with my tears. %Q6:6 %PAway from me, all ye that work vanity. %Q8 %POut of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies: that thou mightest still the enemy, and the avenger. For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown him with glory and worship. %Q8:2 %PUp, Lord, and let not man have the upper hand. %Q9:19 %PHe that said in his heart, Tush, I shall never be cast down: there shall no harm happen unto me. %Q10:6 %PUpon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink. %Q11:7 %PHelp me, Lord, for there is not one godly man left: for the faithful are minished from among the children of men. They talk of vanity every one with his neighbour: they do but flatter with their lips, and dissemble in their double heart. %Q12:1 %PHow long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? %Q13:1 %PThe fool hath said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings: there is none that doeth good, no not one. %Q14:1 %PThey are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable. %Q4 %PLord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall rest upon thy holy hill? Even he, that leadeth an uncorrupt life: and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart. He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil to his neighbour: and hath not slandered his neighbour. %Q15:1 %PHe that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not: though it were to his own hindrance. He that hath not given his money upon usury: nor taken reward against the innocent. Whoso doeth these things: shall never fall. %Q5 %PThe lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground: yea, I have a goodly heritage. %Q16:7. The Authorized Version of the Bible (Psalms 16:6) has "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places'. %PThou shalt not leave my soul in hell: neither shalt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. %Q11 %PHe rode upon the cherubims, and did fly: he came flying upon the wings of the wind. %Q18:10 %PAt the brightness of his presence his clouds removed: hailstones, and coals of fire. %Q12 %PWith the help of my God I shall leap over the wall. %Q29 %PThe heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth his handy-work. One day telleth another: and one night certifieth another. There is neither speech nor language: but their voices are heard among them. Their sound is gone out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun: which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course. %Q19:1 %PThe law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth for ever: the judgements of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey, and the honey-comb. %Q7 %PWho can tell how oft he offendeth: O cleanse thou me from my secret faults. Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart: be alway acceptable in thy sight, O Lord: my strength, and my redeemer. %Q12 %PSome put their trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God. %Q20:7 %PThey intended mischief against thee: and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform. %Q21:11 %PMy God, my God, look upon me; why hast thou forsaken me: and art so far from my health, and from the words of my complaint? O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not: and in the night-season also I take no rest. %Q22:1 %PBut as for me, I am a worm, and no man: a very scorn of men, and the out-cast of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads, saying, He trusted in God, that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, if he will have him. %Q6 %PMany oxen are come about me: fat bulls of Basan close me in on every side. %Q12 %PI am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax. %Q14 %PThey pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones: they stand staring and looking upon me. They part my garments among them: and cast lots upon my vesture. %Q17 %PThe Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. %Q23:1 %PYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. %Q4 %PThe earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein. %Q24:1 %PLift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in. Who is the King of glory: it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle. %Q7 %PEven the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. %Q10 %PO remember not the sins and offences of my youth. %Q25:6 %PDeliver Israel, O God: out of all his troubles. %Q21 %PExamine me, O Lord, and prove me: try out my reins and my heart. %Q26:2 %PI will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord: and so will I go to thine altar; That I may shew the voice of thanksgiving: and tell of all thy wondrous works. %Q6 %PMy foot standeth right: I will praise the Lord in the congregation. %Q12 %PThe Lord is my light, and my salvation; whom then shall I fear: the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? %Q27:1 %PTeach me thy way, O Lord: and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies. %Q13 %PI should utterly have fainted: but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. %Q15 %PThe voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar-trees: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Libanus. He maketh them also to skip like a calf: Libanus also, and Sirion, like a young unicorn. %Q29:5 %PThe voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and discovereth the thick bushes. %Q8 %PThe Lord shall give strength unto his people: the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace. %Q10 %PSing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his: and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness. For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life: heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. %Q30:4 %PThen cried I unto thee, O Lord: and gat me to my Lord right humbly. %Q8 %PInto thy hands I commend my spirit. %Q31:6 %PBlessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin: and in whose spirit there is no guile. For while I held my tongue: my bones consumed away through my daily complaining. %Q32:2 %PFor this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found: but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him. %Q7 %PI will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go: and I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding: whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, lest they fall upon thee. Great plagues remain for the ungodly: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord, mercy embraceth him on every side. %Q9 %PSing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage. %Q33:3 %PA horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man: neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength. %Q16 %PO taste and see, how gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. %Q34:8 %PThe lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they who seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good. %Q10 %PWhat man is he that lusteth to live: and would fain see good days? Keep thy tongue from evil: and thy lips, that they speak no guile. Eschew evil, and do good: seek peace, and ensue it. %Q12 %PThey rewarded me evil for good: to the great discomfort of my soul. %Q35:12 %PO deliver my soul from the calamities which they bring on me, and my darling from the lions. %Q17 %PFret not thyself because of the ungodly. %Q37:1 %PThe meek-spirited shall possess the earth: and shall be refreshed in the multitude of peace. %Q11 %PI have been young, and now am old: and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread. %Q25 %PI myself have seen the ungodly in great power: and flourishing like a green bay-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 man peace at the last. %Q36 %PI held my tongue, and spake nothing: I kept silence, yea, even from good words; but it was pain and grief to me. My heart was hot within me, and while I was thus musing the fire kindled: and at the last 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 live. %Q39:3 %PFor man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. %Q7 %PI waited patiently for the Lord: and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling. He brought me also out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay: and set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings. %Q40:1 %PSacrifice, and meat-offering, thou wouldest not: but mine ears hast thou opened. Burnt-offerings, and sacrifice for sin, hast thou not required: then said I, Lo, I come. In the volume of the book it is written of me, that I should fulfil thy will, O my God. %Q8 %PThou art my helper and redeemer: make no long tarrying, O my God. %Q21 %PBlessed is he that considereth the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble. %Q41:1 %PYea, even mine own familiar friend, whom I trusted: who did also eat of my bread, hath laid great wait for me. %Q9. The Authorized Version of the Bible has "%+hath lifted up his heel against me'. %PLike as the hart desireth the water-brooks: so longeth my soul after thee, O God. %Q42:1 %PWhy art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me? %Q6 %PMy God, my soul is vexed within me: therefore will I remember thee concerning the land of Jordan, and the little hill of Hermon. One deep calleth another, because of the noise of the water-pipes: all thy waves and storms are gone over me. %Q8 %PI will say unto the God of my strength, Why hast thou forgotten me: why go I thus heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me? My bones are smitten asunder as with a sword: while mine enemies that trouble me cast me in the teeth; Namely, while they say daily unto me: Where is now thy God? %Q11 %PGive sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man. %Q43:1 %PO send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling. And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God. %Q3 %PO put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God. %Q6 %PWe have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us: what thou hast done in their time of old. %Q44:1 %PMy heart is inditing of a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made unto the King. My tongue is the pen: of a ready writer. %Q45:1 %PThou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. %Q8 %PKings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought about with divers colours. %Q10 %PThe King's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework: the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee. %Q14 %PInstead of thy fathers thou shalt have children: whom thou mayest make princes in all lands. %Q17 %PGod is our hope and strength: a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved: and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea. %Q46:1 %PGod is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved: but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away. The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our refuge. %Q5 %PHe maketh wars to cease in all the world: he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire. Be still then, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth. %Q9 %PO clap your hands together, all ye people: O sing unto God with the voice of melody. %Q47:1 %PHe shall subdue the people under us: and the nations under our feet. %Q3 %PGod is gone up with a merry noise: and the Lord with the sound of the trump. %Q5 %PFor lo, the kings of the earth: are gathered, and gone by together. They marvelled to see such things: they were astonished, and suddenly cast down. %Q48:3 %PThou shalt break the ships of the sea: through the east-wind. %Q6 %PWalk about Sion, and go round about her: and tell the towers thereof. Mark well her bulwarks, set up her houses: that ye may tell them that come after. %Q11 %PWise men also die, and perish together: as well as the ignorant and foolish, and leave their riches for other. And yet they think that their houses shall continue for ever: and that their dwelling-places shall endure from one generation to another; and call the lands after their own names. Nevertheless, man will not abide in honour: seeing he may be compared unto the beasts that perish; this is the way of them. %Q49:10 %PThey lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have domination over them in the morning: their beauty shall consume in the sepulchre out of their dwelling. %Q14 %PAll the beasts of the forest are mine: and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills. %Q50:10 %PThinkest thou that I will eat bulls' flesh: and drink the blood of goats? %Q13 %PWash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight. %Q51:2 %PBehold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. %Q5 %PMake me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy Spirit from me. O give me the comfort of thy help again: and stablish me with thy free Spirit. %Q10 %PDeliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God. %Q14 %PThou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew thy praise. For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise. O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. %Q15 %PThen shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar. %Q19 %PO that I had wings like a dove: for then would I flee away, and be at rest. %Q55:6 %PIt was even thou, my companion: my guide, and mine own familiar friend. We took sweet counsel together: and walked in the house of God as friends. %Q14 %PThe words of his mouth were softer than butter, having war in his heart: his words were smoother than oil, and yet they be very swords. %Q22 %PThou tellest my flittings; put my tears into thy bottle: are not these things noted in thy book? %Q56:8 %PUnder the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be over-past. %Q57:1 %PGod shall send forth his mercy and truth: my soul is among lions. And I lie even among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth. They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my soul: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it themselves. %Q4 %PAwake up, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I myself will awake right early. %Q9 %PThey are as venomous as the poison of a serpent: even like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ears; Which refuseth to hear the voice of the charmer: charm he never so wisely. %Q58:4 %PGilead is mine, and Manasses is mine: Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, be thou glad of me. %Q60:7 %PTheir delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart. %Q62:4 %PAs for the children of men, they are but vanity: the children of men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter than vanity itself. O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto vanity: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same: that power belongeth unto God; And that thou, Lord, art merciful: for thou rewardest every man according to his work. %Q9 %PMy soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee: in a barren and dry land where no water is. %Q63:2 %PThese 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 for foxes. %Q10 %PThou, O God, art praised in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem. Thou that hearest the prayer: unto thee shall all flesh come. %Q65:1 %PThou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea. Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains: and is girded about with power. Who stilleth the raging of the sea: and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the people. %Q5 %PThou visitest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very plenteous. %Q9 %PThou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof: thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness: and thy clouds drop fatness. They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness: and the little hills shall rejoice on every side. The folds shall be full of sheep: the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing. %Q11 %PGod be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us; That thy way may be known upon earth: thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise thee. %Q67:1 %PThen shall the earth bring forth her increase: and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing. %Q6 %PLet God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. %Q68:1 %PO sing unto God, and sing praises unto his name: magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse; praise him in his name JAH, and rejoice before him. He is a Father of the fatherless, and defendeth the cause of widows: even God in his holy habitation. He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in an house, and bringeth the prisoners out of captivity: but letteth the runagates continue in scarceness. O God, when thou wentest forth before the people: when thou wentest through the wilderness, The earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God. %Q4 %PThe Lord gave the word: great was the company of the preachers. Kings with their armies did flee, and were discomfited: and they of the household divided the spoil. Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove: that is covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold. %Q11 %PWhy hop ye so, ye high hills? this is God's hill, in which it pleaseth him to dwell. %Q16 %PThou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men. %Q18 %PThe zeal of thine house hath even eaten me. %Q69:9 %PThy rebuke hath broken my heart; I am full of heaviness: I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comfort me. They gave me gall to eat: and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink. %Q21 %PLet their habitation be void: and no man to dwell in their tents. %Q26 %PLet them be wiped out of the book of the living: and not be written among the righteous. %Q29 %PLet them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil. Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame: that cry over me, There, there. %Q70:2 %PI am become as it were a monster unto many: but my sure trust is in thee. %Q71:6 %PCast me not away in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth me. %Q8 %PGive the King thy judgements, O God: and thy righteousness unto the King's son. %Q72:1 %PThe mountains also shall bring peace: and the little hills righteousness unto the people. %Q3 %PHis dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other: and from the flood unto the world's end. They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him: his enemies shall lick the dust. The Kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall give presents: the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts. All kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall do him service. %Q8 %PHe shall live, and unto him shall be given of the gold of Arabia. %Q15 %PTherefore fall the people unto them: and thereout suck they no small advantage. Tush, say they, how should God perceive it: is there knowledge in the most High? %Q73:10 %PThen thought I to understand this: but it was too hard for me. Until I went into the sanctuary of God: then understood I the end of these men. %Q15 %PO deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the multitude of the enemies: and forget not the congregation of the poor for ever. %Q74:20 %PThe earth is weak, and all the inhabiters thereof: I bear up the pillars of it. %Q75:4 %PFor promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west: nor yet from the south. And why? God is the Judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. %Q7 %PIn Jewry is God known: his Name is great in Israel. At Salem is his tabernacle: and his dwelling in Sion. %Q76:1 %PI have considered the days of old: and the years that are past. %Q77:5 %PHear my law, O my people: incline your ears unto the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare hard sentences of old; Which we have heard and known: and such as our fathers have told us. %Q78:1 %PNot to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit cleaveth not stedfastly unto God. %Q9 %PHe divided the sea, and let them go through: he made the waters to stand on an heap. %Q14 %PHe rained down manna also upon them for to eat: and gave them food from heaven. So man did eat angels' food: for he sent them meat enough. %Q25 %PSo the Lord awaked as one out of sleep: and like a giant refreshed with wine. %Q66 %PTurn us again, O God: shew the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole. %Q80:3 %PSing we merrily unto God our strength: make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take the psalm, bring hither the tabret: the merry harp with the lute. Blow up the trumpet in the new-moon: even in the time appointed, and upon our solemn feast-day. %Q81:1 %PI have said, Ye are gods: and ye are all children of the most Highest. But ye shall die like men: and fall like one of the princes. %Q82:6 %PO how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts! My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. %Q84:1 %PBlessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy ways. Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well: and the pools are filled with water. They will go from strength to strength: and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion. %Q5 %PFor one day in thy courts: is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God: than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness. %Q10 %PWilt thou not turn again, and quicken us: that thy people may rejoice in thee? %Q85:6 %PMercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall flourish out of the earth: and righteousness hath looked down from heaven. %Q10 %PVery excellent things are spoken of thee: thou city of God. %Q87:2 %PLord, thou hast been our refuge: from one generation to another. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made: thou art God from everlasting, and world without end. %Q90:1 %PFor a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday: seeing that is past as a watch in the night. As soon as thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep: and fade away suddenly like the grass. In the morning it is green, and groweth up: but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered. %Q4 %PThe days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years: yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone. %Q10 %PSo teach us to number our days: that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. %Q12 %PFor he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noisome pestilence. He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feathers: his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day; For the pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. %Q91:3 %PFor thou, Lord, art my hope: thou hast set thine house of defence very high. There shall no evil happen unto thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee in their hands: that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet. %Q9 %PWith long life will I satisfy him: and shew him my salvation. %Q16 %PThe Lord is King, and hath put on glorious apparel: the Lord hath put on his apparel, and girded himself with strength. He hath made the round world so sure: that it cannot be moved. %Q93:1 %PThe floods are risen, O Lord, the floods have lift up their voice: the floods lift up their waves. The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly: but yet the Lord, who dwelleth on high, is mightier. Thy testimonies, O Lord, are very sure: holiness becometh thine house for ever. %Q4 %PHe that planted the ear, shall he not hear: or he that made the eye, shall he not see? %Q94:9 %PO come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. %Q95:1 %PIn his hand are all the corners of the earth: and the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land. O come, let us worship and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; When your fathers tempted me: proved me, and saw my works. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways; Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest. %Q4 %PAscribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name: bring presents, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: let the whole earth stand in awe of him. %Q96:8 %PThe Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof: yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof. %Q97:1 %PO sing unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done marvellous things. With his own right hand, and with his holy arm: hath he gotten himself the victory. %Q98:1 %PPraise the Lord upon the harp: sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving. With trumpets also, and shawms: O shew yourselves joyful before the Lord the King. %Q6 %PWith righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with equity. %Q10 %PThe Lord is King, be the people never so impatient: he sitteth between the cherubims, be the earth never so unquiet. %Q99:1 %PO be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. %Q100:1 %PI am become like a pelican in the wilderness: and like an owl that is in the desert. I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow: that sitteth alone upon the house-top. %Q102:6 %PThou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. %Q25 %PPraise the Lord, O my soul: and forget not all his benefits. %Q103:2 %PWho satisfieth thy mouth with good things: making thee young and lusty as an eagle. %Q5 %PThe Lord is full of compassion and mercy: long-suffering, and of great goodness. He will not alway be chiding: neither keepeth he his anger for ever. %Q8 %PFor look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth: so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him. Look how wide also the east is from the west: so far hath he set our sins from us. Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children: even so is the Lord merciful unto them that fear him. For he knoweth whereof we are made: he remembereth that we are but dust. The days of man are but as grass: for he flourisheth as a flower of a field. For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone: and the place thereof shall know it no more. %Q11 %PWho layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. He maketh his angels spirits: and his ministers a flaming fire. He laid the foundations of the earth: that it never should move at any time. Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment: the waters stand in the hills. %Q104:3 %PThou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass: neither turn again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the rivers: which run among the hills. All beasts of the field drink thereof: and the wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation: and sing among the branches. %Q9 %PHe bringeth forth grass for the cattle: and green herb for the service of men; That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man: and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man's heart. The trees of the Lord also are full of sap: even the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted. %Q14 %PThe high hills are a refuge for the wild goats: and so are the stony rocks for the conies. He appointed the moon for certain seasons: and the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness that it may be night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. The lions roaring after their prey: do seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, and they get them away together: and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour: until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are thy works, in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches. So is the great and wide sea also: wherein are creeping things innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan: whom thou hast made to take his pastime therein. These wait all upon thee: that thou mayest give them meat in due season. %Q18 %PThe earth shall tremble at the look of him: if he do but touch the hills, they shall smoke. %Q32 %PHe had sent a man before them: even Joseph, who was sold to be a bond-servant; Whose feet they hurt in the stocks: the iron entered into his soul. %Q105:17 %PThe king sent, and delivered him: the prince of the people let him go free. He made him lord also of his house: and ruler of all his substance; That he might inform his princes after his will: and teach his senators wisdom. %Q20 %PYea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land: and gave no credence to his word; But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord. %Q106:24 %PThus were they stained with their own works: and went a whoring with their own inventions. %Q38 %PO that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! For he satisfieth the empty soul: and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: being fast bound in misery and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord: and lightly regarded the counsel of the most Highest. %Q107:8 %PTheir soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they were even hard at death's door. %Q18 %PThey that go down to the sea} in ships: and occupy their business in great waters; These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep. %Q23 %PThey reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and are at their wit's end. So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their distress. For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth them unto the heaven where they would be. %Q27 %PThe Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. %Q110:1 %PThou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. %Q4 %PThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; the praise of it endureth for ever. %Q111:10 %PA good man is merciful, and lendeth: and will guide his words with discretion. For he shall never be moved: and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. %Q112:5 %PHe maketh the barren woman to keep house: and to be a joyful mother of children. %Q113:8 %PWhen Israel came out of Egypt: and the house of Jacob from among the strange people, Judah was his sanctuary: and Israel his dominion. The sea saw that, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams: and the little hills like young sheep. %Q114:1 %PNot unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise. %Q115:1 %PThey have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, and see not. They have ears, and hear not: noses have they, and smell not. They have hands, and handle not: feet have they, and walk not: neither speak they through their throat. %Q5 %PThe snares of death compassed me round about: and the pains of hell gat hold upon me. %Q116:3 %PAnd why? thou hast delivered my soul from death: mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. %Q8 %PI said in my haste, All men are liars. %Q10 %PI will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people: right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. %Q13 %PThe right hand of the Lord hath the pre-eminence: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass. %Q118:16 %PThe same stone which the builders refused: is become the head-stone in the corner. This is the Lord's doing: and it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it. %Q22 %PBlessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord: we have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the Lord. %Q26 %PWherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way: even by ruling himself after thy word. %Q119:9 %PThe law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than thousands of gold and silver. %Q72 %PThy word is a lantern unto my feet: and a light unto my paths. %Q105 %PWoe is me that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech: and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar. %Q120:4 %PI labour for peace, but when I speak unto them therof: they make them ready to battle. %Q6 %PI will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help. My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. Behold, he that keepeth Israel: shall neither slumber not sleep. The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand; So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by night. %Q121:1 %PThe Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in: from this time forth for evermore. %Q8 %PI was glad when they said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city: that is at unity in itself. For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord. %Q122:1 %PO pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness with thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will wish thee prosperity. %Q6 %PIf the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say: if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us; They had swallowed us up quick: when they were so wrathfully displeased at us. %Q124:1 %POur soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler: the snare is broken, and we are delivered. Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth. %Q6. See %N%N%N%N%N%N %PThe hills stand about Jerusalem: even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for evermore. %Q125:2 %PWhen the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion: then were we like unto them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter: and our tongue with joy. %Q126:1 %PTurn our captivity, O Lord: as the rivers in the south. They that sow in tears: shall reap in joy. 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. %Q5 %PExcept the Lord build the house: their labour is but lost that build it. Except the Lord keep the city: the watchman waketh but in vain. %Q127:1 %PLike as the arrows in the hand of the giant: even so are the young children. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. %Q5 %PThy wife shall be as the fruitful vine: upon the walls of thine house. Thy children like the olive-branches: round about thy table. %Q128:3 %PMany a time have they fought against me from my youth up: may Israel now say. %Q129:1 %PBut they have not prevailed against me. The plowers plowed upon my back: and made long furrows. %Q2 %POut of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. O let thine ears consider well: the voice of my complaint. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss: O Lord, who may abide it? %Q130:1 %PMy soul fleeth unto the Lord: before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch. %Q6 %PLord, I am not high-minded: I have no proud looks. I do not exercise myself in great matters: which are too high for me. %Q131:1 %PBehold, how good and joyful a thing it is: brethren, to dwell together in unity! %Q133:1 %PHe smote divers nations: and slew mighty kings; Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: and all the kingdoms of Canaan; And gave their land to be an heritage: even an heritage unto Israel his people. %Q135:10 %PO give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever. %Q136:1 %PBy the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee, O Sion. As for our harps, we hanged them up: upon the trees that are therein. For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody, in our heaviness: Sing us one of the songs of Sion. How shall we sing the Lord's song: in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, if I prefer not Jerusalem in my mirth. %Q137:1 %PO Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me: thou knowest my down-sitting, and mine up-rising; thou understandest my thoughts long before. %Q139:1 %PSuch knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me: I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit: or whither shall I go then from thy presence? If I climb up into the heaven, thou art there: if I go down to hell, thou art there also. If I take the wings of the morning: and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Peradventure the darkness shall cover me: then shall my night be turned to day. Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day: the darkness and light to thee are both alike. %Q5 %PI will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. %Q13 %PThine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect: and in thy book were all my members written; Which day by day were fashioned: when as yet there were none of them. %Q15 %PTry me, O God, and seek the ground of my heart: prove me, and examine my thoughts. %Q23 %PLet the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and keep the door of my lips. %Q141:2 %PLet the ungodly fall into their own nets together: and let me ever escape them. %Q11 %PEnter not into judgement with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. %Q143:2 %PSave me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children: whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity. That our sons may grow up as the young plants: and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple. %Q144:11 %PThat our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets. That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there be no decay: no leading into captivity, and no complaining in our streets. %Q13 %PThe Lord upholdeth all such as fall: and lifteth up all those that are down. %Q145:14 %PThou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand: and fillest all things living with plenteousness. %Q15 %PO put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man: for there is no help in them. %Q146:2 %PThe Lord looseth men out of prison: the Lord giveth sight to the blind. %Q7 %PThe Lord careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless and widow: as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down. %Q9 %PA joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: and gather together the out-casts of Israel. He healeth those that are broken in heart: and giveth medicine to heal their sickness. He telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names. %Q147:1 %PHe hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: neither delighteth he in any man's legs. %Q10 %PHe giveth snow like wool: and scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who is able to abide his frost? %Q16 %PPraise the Lord upon earth: ye dragons, and all deeps; Fire and hail, snow and vapours: wind and storm, fulfilling his word. %Q148:7 %PYoung men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord: for his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth. %Q12 %PLet the saints be joyful with glory: let them rejoice in their beds. Let the praises of God be in their mouth: and a two-edged sword in their hands; To be avenged of the heathen: and to rebuke the people; To bind their kings in chains: and their nobles with links of iron. %Q149:5 %PPraise him upon the well-tuned cymbals: praise him upon the loud cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath: praise the Lord. %Q150:5 %PBe pleased to receive into thy Almighty and most gracious protection the persons of us thy servants, and the Fleet in which we serve. %Q%3Forms of Prayer to be Used at Sea. %11st prayer %PThat we may be%+a security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions. %PWe therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body (when the Sea shall give up her dead). %QAt the Burial of their Dead at Sea %VCome, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, And lighten with celestial fire.
