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 : thou 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: 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 before thy face. 16 Blessed is the people, O Lord, that can rejoice in thee they shall walk in the light of thy counte nance. 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 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 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 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 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 forsaken 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 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 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 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made thou art God from everlasting, and world without end. 3 Thou turnest man to de hast thou shortened: and co-struction: again thou sayest, vered him with dishonour. Come again, ye children of men. 45 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thyself, for ever: and shall thy wrath burn like fire? 46 O remember how short my time is 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday seeing that is past as a watch in the night. wherefore hast 5 As soon as thou scatterforest them they are even as a sleep and fade away suddenly like the grass. thou made all men 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 evermore. Amen, and Amen. MORNING PRAYER. PSALM 90. Domine, refugium. Lrefuge from the gener ORD, thou hast been our refuge from one gene ration to another. 6 In the morning it is green, and groweth up but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered. 7 For we consume away in thy displeasure and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. 8 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 days are gone we bring our years to an end, as it were a 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 fourscore years yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone. so soon 11 But who regardeth the | power of thy wrath: for even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure. 12 O teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 13 Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last and be gracious unto thy servants. 14 O satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life. 15 Comfort us again now after the time that thou hast plagued us and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity. 16 Shew thy servants thy work and their children thy glory. 4 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. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day. 7 A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the ungodly. 9 For thou, Lord, art my hope thou hast set thine house of defence very high. 10 There shall no evil hap 17 And the glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us prosper thou the work of our hands upon us,pen unto thee: neither shall Ο O prosper thou our handywork. any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 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 lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him up, because he hath known | Lord, lo, thine enemies shall my Name. perish and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will hear him yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation. PSAL. 92. Bonum est confiteri. I T is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most Highest; 2 To tell of thy lovingkindness early in the morning and of thy truth in the night-season; 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute upon a loud instrument, and upon the harp. 4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands. 5 O Lord, how glorious are thy works thy thoughts are very deep. 6 An unwise man doth not well consider this : and a fool doth not understand it. 7 When the ungodly are green as the grass, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish then shall they be destroyed for ever; but thou, Lord, art the most Highest for evermore. : 이 9 But mine horn shall be exalted like the horn of an unicorn for I am anointed with fresh oil. 10 Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me. 11 The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus. 12 Such as are planted in the house of the Lord: shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. 13 They also shall bring forth more fruit in their age. and shall be fat and wellliking. 14 That they may shew how true the Lord my strength is and that there is no unrighteousness in him.
