suffer unjustly injuries and persecutions: Grant us grace to seek the peace which thou hast made, and patiently to bear all injuries and persecutions; that we may be called thy children, and inherit thy Heavenly kingdom: Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen. THE ORDER FOR Ebensong. O God, make speed to save us.

Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. PSALM CXIII. Laudate pueri. PRAISE RAISE the Lord, ye servants: O praise the Name of the Lord. 2 Blessed be the Name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore. : 3 The Lord's Name is praised from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same. 4 The Lord is high above all heathen: and his glory above the Heavens. : 5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in Heaven and earth? : 6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust and lifteth the poor out of the mire; 7 That he may set him with the princes: even with the princes of his people. 8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children. Glory 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. PSALM CXXXV. Laudate Nomen. PRAISE the Lord, laud ye the Name of O the Lord: praise it, O'ye servants of the Lord: 2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord: in the courts of the house of our God. 3 O praise the Lord, for the Lord is gracious: O sing praises unto his Name, for it is lovely. 4 For why? the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: and Israel for his own possession. 5 For I know that the Lord is great: and that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth: and in the sea, and in all deep places. 7 He bringeth forth the clouds from the ends of the world: and sendeth forth lightnings with the rain, bringing the winds out of his treasures. 8 He smote the first-born of Egypt: both of man and beast. 9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt: upon Pharaoh, and all his servants. 10 He smote divers nations and slew mighty kings; 11 Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: and all the kingdoms of Canaan ; 12 And gave their land to be an heritage: even an heritage unto Israel his people. 13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for ever: so doth thy memorial, O Lord, from one generation to another. 14 For the Lord will avenge his people : and be gracious unto his servants. 15 As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold: the work of men's hands. 16 They have mouths, and speak not : eyes have they, but they see not. 17 They have ears, and yet they hear not neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like unto them and so are all they that put their trust in them. : 19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron. 20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Levi : ye that fear the Lord, praise the Lord, 21 Praised be the Lord out of Sion: who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Glory 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. I Amen. PSALM CXXXVIII. Confitebor tibi. WILL give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy lovingkindness and truth: for thou hast magnified thy Name, and thy Word, above all things. 3 When I called upon thee, thou heardest me and enduedst my soul with much strength. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they have heard the words of thy mouth. 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord that great is the glory of the Lord. 6 For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me: thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8 The Lord shall make good his lovingkindness toward me: yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; |
