in his tabernacle; yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me upon a rock of stone.

Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness; I will sing and speak praises unto the Lord.

Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee; have mercy upon me, and hear me.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

cast

O hide thou not thy face from me, nor thy servant away in displeasure.

Thou hast been my

succor ; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Though my father and my mother forsake me, yet the Lord taketh me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.

I should utterly have fainted, but that I believe verily to see the

goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

O tarry thou the Lord's leisure; be strong and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.

Now unto the King eternal, &c.

Be honor and glory, &c.

EVENING PRAYER.

PSALM 28.

UNTO thee will I cry, O Lord my strength; be not silent to me; lest if thou make as though thou hearest not, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my humble petitions when I cry unto thee, when I hold up my hands toward the mercy seat of thy holy temple.

O pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and wicked doers, who speak friendly to their neighbors, but imagine mischief in their hearts.

Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voice of my humble pe

titions.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped; therefore my heart danceth for joy, and in my song will I praise him.

The Lord is my strength, and he is the wholesome defence of his anointed.

O save thy people and give thy blessing unto thine inheritance; feed feed them, and set them up for ever.

PSALM 29.

GIVE unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give the Lord the honor due unto his name; worship the Lord with holy worship.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters, the voice of the glorious God; the Lord thundereth over the great waters.

The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is a glorious

voice.

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar trees; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; yea, the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord causeth the oaks to quake, and layeth bare the forests; in his temple doth every man speak of his honor.

The Lord sitteth above the water flood; and the Lord remaineth a king for ever.

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.

Now unto the King eternal, &c. Be honor and glory,

&c.

The Sixth Day.

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM 30.

I WILL magnify thee, O Lord; for thou hast set me up, and not made my foes to triumph over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul from the grave; thou hast kept my life from those who go down to the pit.

Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.

For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye; and in his favor is life; heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed; thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.

Thou didst turn thy face from me, and I was troubled.

Then I cried unto thee, O Lord, and besought the Lord right humbly.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? or shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; Lord, be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy; thou hast 'put off my sackcloth, and girded me with glad

ness.

Therefore shall every good man sing thy praise without ceasing; O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

PSALM 31.

IN thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion; deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me; make haste to deliver me.

And be thou my strong rock, and house of defence, that thou mayst

save me.

For thou art my strong rock and my castle; be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy name's sake.

Into thy hands I commend my spirit; for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth.

I have hated those who regard superstitious vanities, and my trust hath been in the Lord.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble, and hast known my soul in adversities.

O how plentiful is thy goodness which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for those who put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

Thou shalt hide them in the place of thine own presence from the insults of men; thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

Thanks be to the Lord; for he hath shown me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

For thy hand was heavy upon me day and night; and my moisture was turned into the drought of summer.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine unrighteousness have I not hid.

I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord; and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin.

For this shall every one who is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be found; and in the great water floods they shall not come nigh him.

Thou art a place to hide me in; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go, and I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding; whose

REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous; for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Sing unto the Lord a new song; sing praises unto him skilfully, with an exalted voice.

For the word of the Lord is true, and all his works are faithful.

He loveth righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together,
