Ps. cxlv, is a Proper Psalm for Whitsunday,

Ps. cxlvi. is the 2nd Psalm of the Ty

pica.

11 Save 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.

12 That our sons may grow up as the young plants and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.

13 That our garners may be full and plenteous with all manner of store that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets.

14 That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there be no decay: no leading into captivity, and no complaining in our streets. 15 Happy are the people that are in such a case: yea, blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God.

ever.

2 Every day will I give thanks unto thee: and praise thy Name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and marvellous, worthy to be praised: there is no end of his greatness.

4 One generation shall praise thy works unto another and declare thy power.

5 As for me, I will be talking of thy worship thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works;

6 So that men shall speak of the might

of thy marvellous acts: and I will also tell of thy greatness.

7 The memorial of thine abundant kindness shall be shewed: and men shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious, and merciful long-suffering, and of great goodness.

9 The Lord is loving unto every man : and his mercy is over all his works.

10 All thy works praise thee, O Lord and thy saints give thanks unto thee.

11 They shew the glory of thy kingdom: and talk of thy power;

12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom: might be known unto

men.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.

14 The Lord upholdeth all such as fall: and lifteth up all those that are down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord: and thou givest them their meat in due

season.

16 Thou openest thine hand and fillest all things living with plenteousness.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways: and holy in all his works.

18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: yea, all such as call upon him faithfully.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him he also will hear their cry, and will help them.

20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him but scattereth abroad all the ungodly. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever.

PSALM CXLVI. Lauda, anima mea.

PRAISE the Lord, O my soul; while I

live will I praise the Lord: yea, as long

as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God..

2 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any. child of man for there is no help in them. 3 For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth and then all his thoughts perish.

4 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord his God;

5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: who keepeth his promise for ever;

6 Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong: who feedeth the hungry.

The Lord looseth men out of prison : the Lord giveth sight to the blind.

8 The Lord helpeth them that are fallen: the Lord careth for the righteous.

9 The Lord careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless and widow: as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside

down.

10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore: and throughout all generations.

Ebening Prayer.

PSALM CXLVII. Laudate Dominum.

O PRAISE the Lord, for it is a good

thing to sing praises unto our God: yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.

2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem : and gather together the out-casts of Israel. 3 He healeth those that are broken in heart and giveth medicine to heal their sickness.

4 He telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power yea, and his wisdom is infinite. 6 The Lord setteth up the meek and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground. 7 O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving: sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men;

9 Who giveth fodder unto the cattle and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.

10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse neither delighteth he in any man's legs.

11 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him and put their trust in his mercy. 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem praise thy God, O Sion.

13 For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates: and hath blessed thy children within thee.

14 He maketh peace in thy borders and filleth thee with the flour of wheat.

15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth and his word runneth very swiftly.

16 He giveth snow like wool and scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who is able to abide his frost ?

OF THE FORMS OF PRAYER TO BE USED AT SEA.

These forms were added to the Prayer Book at the last revision. They were not intended to supply the place of the ordinary Morning and Evening Services, but to be supplementary to them.

The first publication of special prayers to be used at sea was made by the Long Parliament. The Directory, which they had put forth in 1644, was soon found to be insufficient; hence they published 'A Supply of Prayer for the Ships that want Ministers to pray with them: agreeable to the Directory established by Parliament.' The publication has no date. 'A reason of this work,' prefixed to it, states that 'whereas there are thousands of ships which have not ministers with them to guide them in prayer, and therefore either use the old form of Common Prayer, or no prayer at all; the former whereof for many weighty reasons hath been abolished, and the latter is likely to make them rather heathens than Christians: (the Lord's day being left without any mark of piety or devotion). Therefore to avoid these inconveniences, it hath been thought fit to frame some prayers agreeing with the Directory established by Parliament; it being hoped, that it will be no grief of heart to wise and full Christians, if the thirsty drink out of cisterns, when themselves drink out of fountains; but they will rather pity the wants of their needy brethren, and out of compassion imitate him who filleth the hungry with good things.'

'These Prayers being enlivened and sent up by the Spirit in him that prayeth, may be lively Prayers and acceptable to him who is a Spirit, and accepts of Service in Spirit and Truth. And, in truth, though Prayers come never so new, even from the Spirit, in one that is a guide in Prayer, if the Spirit do not quicken and enliven that Prayer in the Hearer that follows him, it is to him but a dead Form, and a very carcase of Prayer.'

The form is as follows:

"The Company being assembled, they may thus begin with Prayer: (as in the Directory.)

'O Lord, in all reverence and humility, we acknowledge thy incomprehensible Greatness and Majesty, in whose presence we do now in a special manner

appear, and our own vileness and unworthiness, to approach so near thee; with our utter inability of ourselves, to such a holy duty. And we humbly beseech thee for pardon, assistance and acceptance, in the whole service now to be performed, and for a blessing on the particular portions of thy Word now to be read, and all in the Name and Mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ; In whose name and words we pray unto thee farther, saying, 'Our Father, &c.

'After this, some Psalms and Chapters being read out of both Testaments (but none out of those books which are commonly called Apocrypha) and a Psalm being sung, a prayer may follow in this manner :'

Then follows a long prayer for remission of sins, and for sanctification, almost word for word as in the Directory. Then

'A prayer for the Church Universal, and our United Churches and Kingdoms,' which also follows very closely the Directory.

'After this Prayer, a Psalm may be sung, and the conclusion may be with a Thanksgiving and Blessing.'

'The Thanksgiving' bears some resemblance to the General Thanksgiving' in the Daily Service, it also follows closely the Directory.

"The Prayer for a Blessing' is

"The Lord bless us and keep us; the Lord make his face to shine upon us and be gracious unto us; the Lord lift up his countenance upon us, and give us his peace; And the very God of Peace sanctify us wholly, that our whole spirit, soul, and body, may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the Communion of the Holy Ghost be with us all. Amen.'

Appended to the Service are

'A Prayer particularly fitted for those that travail upon the Seas' and 'A Prayer in a Storm.'
