10 For thou art great, and doest won drous things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in thy truth: O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy name.

12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and will praise thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.

14 O God, the proud are risen against me; and the congregations of naughty men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before their eyes.

15 But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy, long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

16 O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid.

17 Show some token upon me for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, Lord, last holpen me, and comforted nie.

Psalm 88. Domine, Deus.

LORD God of salvation, I have cried day and night before thee O let my prayer enter into thy presence; incline thine ear unto my call ing;

2 For my soul is full of trouble, and my life draweth nigi unto hell.

3 I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit, and I have been even 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 cut away from thy hand

5 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness, and in the deep.

6 Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy

storms.

7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them

81 am so fast in prison, that I cannot get forth.

9 My sight faileth for very trouble; Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. 10 Dost thou show wonders among the dead? or shall the dead rise up again and praise thee?

11 Shall thy loving kindness be showed in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

12 Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgotten?

13 Unto thee have I cried, O Lord; and early shall my prayer come before

thee.

14 Lord, why abhorrest 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 suffered with a troubled mind.

16 Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me, and the fear of thee hath undone

me.

17 They came round about me daily like water, and compassed me together on every side.

18 My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine ao quaintance out of my sight.

EVENING PRAYER.

Psalm 29. Misericordias Domini.

Mindess of the Lord; with my Y song shall be alway of the loving

mouth will I ever be showing thy truth, from one generation to another.

up for ever, thy truth shalt thou stablish 2 For 1 have said, Mercy shall be set in the heavens."

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen; I have sworn unto David my servant

4 Thy seed will I stablish for ever, and set up thy throne from one generation to

another.

5 O Lord, the very heavens shall praise thy wondrous works; and thy truth in the congregation of the saints.

6 For who is he among the clouds, that shall be compared unto 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 every side.

10 Thou rulest the raging of the sea; thou stillest the waves thereof when they

arise.

11 Thou hast subdued Egypt, and destroyed it; thon hast scattered thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm.

12 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine; thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is.

13 Thou hast made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

14 Thou hast a mighty arm; streng is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 15 Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat; mercy and truth shall go before 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 anointed 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 wickedness shall not hurt him

24 I will smite down his foes before nis 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 cali 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 evermore, 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 forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

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 lips I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David.

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 faithful witness in heaven.

37 But thou hast abhorred and for

saken thine Anointed, and art displeased at him.

38 Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, and cast his crown to the ground.

39 Thou hast overthrown all his hedg es, and broken down his strong holds. 40 All they that go by spoil him, and he is become a reproach to his neigh bours.

41 Thou hast set up the right hand of his enemies, and made all his adversaries to rejoice.

42 Thou hast taken away the edge of his sword, and givest him not victory 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 dishonour.

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 loving kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

49 Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy servants 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 everinore. Amen and Amen.

7 For we consume away in thy dis pleasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

9 For when thou art angry, all our day

are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were tale that is told.

10 The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to ourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow so soon passeth it away, and

we are gone.

8 Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou be hold, and see the reward of the ungodly. 9 For thou, Lord, art my hope thou last set thine house of defence very high

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against a

stone.

13 Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder; the young fion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.

against me.
