The Proper Psalms appointed for Certain Days.

1. The Nativity of Christ, commonly called CHRISTMAS DAY.

Mattins, Psalms xix., xlv., lxxxv.

PSALM XIX.

1. The creatures shew God's glory. 5 The word his grace.
12 David prayeth for grace.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
HE a heavens declare the glory of God; and the fir-
mament sheweth his handy-work.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto
night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, 92 where their voice is not heard.

4 63 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

7 dThe 2law of the LORD is perfect, 3 converting the
soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise
the simple.

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the LORD is
pure, fen-
lightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever;
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous
altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, 9 yea, than
much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and 5 the
honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned; and iin keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from m secret faults.

13 n Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; olet them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from 6 the great transgression.

14 P Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, 7my strength, and my redeemer.
