Evening Prayer.

PSALM LXXXIX. Misericordias Domini.

:

Y song shall be alway of the loving-kindness | of the Lord with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation | to' another.

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be set up' for | ever thy truth shalt thou | stablish | in' the | heavens.

3 I have made a covenant | with my | chosen : I have sworn un'to | David' my | servant;

4 Thy seed will I stablish' for | ever and set up thy throne from one gene ra'tion | to' another.

5 O Lord, the very heavens shall praise thy | won'drous works and thy truth in the congrega'tion of the | saints.

6 For who is he among the clouds : that shall be compared' un to' the Lord?

7 And what is he among the gods that shall be like unto the Lord?

8 God is very greatly to be feared in the council of the saints and to be had in reverence of all them that are | round' about him.

9 O Lord God of hosts, who is like unto | thee thy truth, most mighty Lord, | is' on | ev'ery | side.

10 Thou rulest the raging | of the | sea : thou stillest the waves there of when they' arise.

11 Thou hast subdued Egypt, and' destroyed

it thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad | with' thy migh'ty arm.

12 The heavens are thine, the earth | also' is | thine thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all' that there'in is.

13 Thou hast made the north | and' the | south : Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice' in | thy - | Name. 14 Thou hast a | migh'ty | arm : strong is thy hand, and high' is | thy' right | hand.

15 Righteousness and equity are the habitation | of thy | seat mercy and truth shall | go' be|fore' thy face.

16 Blessed is the people, O Lord, that can rejoice in thee: they shall walk in the light' of | thy countenance.

17 Their delight shall be daily | in' thy | name : and in thy righteousness | shall' they | make' their |

boast.

18 For thou art the glory of their strength and in thy loving-kindness thou | shalt' lift | up' our |

horns.

19 For the Lord is our defence the Holy One of Israel | is' our | King.

20 Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy | saints, and saidst : I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one | chosen' out of the people.

21 I have found | David' my | servant : with my holy oil have|I' anoint'ed | him.

22 My hand shall hold him | fast and -'my | arm' shall strengthen him.

23 The enemy shall not be able to | do' him | violence the son of | wicked'ness | shall not hurt

him.

:

24 I will smite down his foes before' his | face : and plague them' that | hate him.

25 My truth also and my mercy | shall be | with him and in my Name shall | his' horn | be' exalted.

26 I will set his dominion also | in' the sea : and his | right hand | in' the

floods.

27 He shall call me, Thou art my father: my God, and' my | strong' salvation.

28 And I will make

him' my first-born : higher than the' kings of the earth.

29 My mercy will I keep for him for | ev'er-| more and my covenant | shall' stand | fast' with him.

30 His seed also will I make to endure' for | ever and his throne | as' the | days' of | heaven. 31 But if his children for sake' my | law and | walk' not in' my judgements;

:

32 If they break my statutes, and keep not | my' commandments: I will visit their offences with the rod, | and' their | sin' with | scourges.

33 Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him nor | suffer' my | truth' to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my once by my holiness that David.

I

will not fail |

35 His seed shall endure' for | ever : and his seat is like as the sun' before me.

36 He shall stand fast for evermore | as' the moon and as the faith'ful | witness' in heaven. I 37 But thou hast abhorred and forsaken | thine' Anointed and | art' dis pleas'ed at him.

:

:

38 Thou hast broken the covenant of thy | servant and cast | his' crown | to' the ground. 39 Thou hast overthrown | all' his | hedges: and broken down' his strong | holds. 40 All they that

go' by

spoil him and he is become a reproach - | to his | neighbours.

41 Thou hast set up the right hand | of" his | enemies and made all his adver'saries | to' rejoice.

:

42 Thou hast taken away the edge of his | sword and givest him not | vic'tory | in' the battle.

:

43 Thou hast put | out' his glory and cast his | throne' down to the ground.

44 The days of his youth | hast thou | shortened : and covered' him with' dis honour.

[ocr errors]

45 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thy self,' for ever and shall thy wrath | burn' like | fire? 46 O remember how | short' my time is : wherefore hast thou | made' all | men' for | nought?

47 What man is he that liveth, and shall not' see death and shall he deliver his soul | from' the hand' of hell?

:

48 Lord, where are thy old | lov'ing-kindnesses: which thou swarest unto | Da'vid | in' thy | truth?

49 Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy | ser'vants have and how I do bear in my bosom the rebukes' of many people;

:

50 Wherewith thine enemies have blasphemed thee, and slandered the footsteps of thine' Anointed: Praised be the Lord for evermore. | A'men | and' Amen.

DAY 18.

Morning Prayer.

PSALM XC. Domine, refugium.

LORD, thou hast been' our refuge from one

generation to another.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world' were made thou art God from everlasting, and | world' with out - |

end.

:

3 Thou turnest man | to destruction: again thou sayest, Come again,' ye | children' of | men.

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are | but' as yesterday seeing that is past | as' a | watch in' the night.

5 As soon as thou scatterest them they are even | as a sleep and fade away | sudden'ly | like' the | grass.

6 In the morning it is green, and | grow'eth | up: but in the evening it is cut down, | dri'ed | up, and |

withered.

7 For we consume away in thy' dis pleasure: and are afraid at thy | wrath'ful | in'dig|nation.
