4 Our soul is filled with the scornful reproof of and with the de-spiteful-ness of 3 the wealthy 5 the proud. IF Psalm cxxiv. Nisi quia Dominus. 2 F the LORD himself had not been on our side,* now may Is-3rael 'say if the LORD himself had not been on our side, when men rose up a- "gainst us : 3 6 2 They had swallowed us up quick when they were so wrathfully dis-23 pleas-'ed at us. 3 Yea, the waters had drown-3ed us and the stream had 23 gone over our soul. 2 4 The deep waters of the proud had gone 2e-3 ven over our soul. 3 5 But praised be the LORD who hath not given us over for a 2prey 3un- ' to their teeth. 6 Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler the snare is broken, and 3 we are de- "livered. 5 2 3 7 Our help standeth in the Name of 3 the LORD: who hath made 23 heaven 45 and 6 earth. Psalm cxxv. Qui confidunt. THEY HEY that put their trust in the LORD shall be even as the 23 Mount Sion: which may not be removed, but 2 stand-3eth 4 fast 5 for ever. even 2 The hills stand about Je-2ru-3sa-4lem so standeth the LORD round about his people," from this time forth 3 for ev-er-6 more. 4 3 For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the 23 right-'eous lest the righteous put their hand un-3 to 4 wick-5ed-ness. 4 Do well, 2304 LORD: unto those that are good 3 and true 5 of 6 heart. 5 As for such as turn back unto their own 2wick 3 ed-ness: the LORD shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be up-3 on 'Is-5 ra- o el. 4 Evening Prayer. Psalm cxxvi. In convertendo WHEN the LORD turned again the captivity of 23 Si-on then were we like 2un-3 to 4 them 5 that dream. 2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter : and our 23 tongue 45 with joy. 3 Then said they a-2mong the heathen: The LORD hath 23 done great things for them. 4 5 4 Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us 3al-ready where- 23 of we re-joice. 4 5 Turn our captivity, 230 LORD as the riv3ers in 5 the south. 6 They that sow in tears shall 23 reap 45in ❝joy. 4 7 He that now goeth on his way weeping,* and beareth forth 23 good seed shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring 3 his 45 sheaves with him. Psalm cxxvii. Nisi Dominus. 4 6 EXCEPT the LORD build the house : their labour is but lost 5 that "build it. 2 Except the LORD keep the city : the watchman 2 wa-3keth 4 but 5in vain. 6 3 It is but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest,* and eat the bread of care3 ful-ness for so he giveth his 3 be-'lov-5ed sleep. 4 Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb are an heritage and gift that com- 3eth : 4 4 5 6 of the LORD. 2 5 Like as the arrows in the hand of 3the giant : even so are the 45 young children. 2 6 6 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of *them they shall not be ashamed when they speak with their ene-3 mies in 5 the gate. B Psalm cxxviii. Beati omnes. 3 4 LESSED are all they that fear the LORD: and 23 walk in 5 his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour 2 of 3 thine hands: O well is thee, and hap-3py shalt thou be ! 4 3 Thy wife shall be as the fruit-3ful vine: upon the 23 walls of 5thine house. 4 Thy children like the 2ol-3ive-branches : round a-23bout 45 thy table. 5 Lo, thus shall the man be 23 bless-ed: that 23 fear-1eth 5 the LORD. 2 6 The LORD from out of Sion shall so bless 4 thee that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity 2 all 3 thy 45 life long. : 7 Yea, that thou shalt see thy chil-3dren's 'children and peace 3up-45 on Israel. Psalm cxxix. Sæpe expugnaverunt. MANY ANY a time have they fought against me from my 23 youth up may Is-3ra-* el 5 now say: 2 Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my 23 youth up but they have not 'pre-1vailed 5a6gainst me. 2 3 The plowers plowed up-on 3my 'back and 2made long 45 fur- rows. 4 But the right-3eous LORD hath hewn the snares of the un-3 god-ly "in "pieces. 5 Let them be confounded and turn-3ed backward as many as have 2e-3vil will at Sion. 6 Let them be even as the grass growing up-2 on 3the house-tops which withereth a-2fore it be * pluck-5ed up: : 7 Whereof the mower filleth not his hand : neither he that bindeth up the sheaves his bo som. 8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The LORD pros-3per you: we wish you good luck in the 23 Name of 5the Lord. 6 Psalm cxxx. De profundis. UT of the deep have I called unto thee, O 2 O let thine ears con- 2sid-3er well: the voice 3 of my com- "plaint. 5 3 If thou, LORD, wilt be extreme to mark what is 2done 3a-miss: O Lord, who may a-15 bide it? 4 For there is mercy 23 with thee therefore 23 shalt thou 5 be feared. : 5 I look for the LORD; my soul doth 2wait 3for 4him in his 23 word is 5my trust. 6 : 6 My soul fleeth un- 2 to 3 the Lord before the morning watch; I say, be-fore the morn-ing 6 watch. 7 O Israel, trust in the LORD;* for with the LORD there is 23 mer-1cy and with him is plen-3te-*ous 5 re-❝demption. 8 And he shall redeem Is-3ra-el: from 23 all 45 his sins. LORD, Psalm cxxxi. Domine, non est. ORD, I am not high-mind-'ed: I have 23 no 45 proud looks. 2 I do not exercise myself in 23 great matters : which are 23 too high for me. 3 But I refrain my soul, and keep it low,* like as a child that is weaned from his mother yea, my soul is even 2as 3a wean-5ed child. 2 4 6 4 O Israel, trust in the LORD from this time. 2 forth for ev-5 er-6 more. THE TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY. Morning Prayer. Psalm cxxxii. Memento, Domine. LORD, remember 23 Da-'vid and all his 45 trou-6ble: 3 2 How he sware un-2 to the LORD and vowed a vow unto the Al-2 migh-3ty God 5 of 6 Jacob: 3 I will not come within the tabernacle 2 of 3 mine *house nor climb 2up 3in-4 to 5 my bed: 4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep," nor mine eyelids to 23 slum-ber: neither the temples of my head to 23 take 4a-5ny "rest: 3 5 Until I find out a place for the temple of the LORD an habitation for the migh-3ty God of 6 Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of the same at Eph-3ra-1ta : and found it in 5the wood. 2 7 We will go into his tab-3er-*nacle and fall low on our knees be- 2 fore 3 his 45 foot-6 stool. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest-ing-place : thou, and the 23 ark of 5thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with right-3eous*ness and let thy saints 2sing 3 with joy-5 ful6ness. 10 For thy servant 2 Da-3vid's sake turn not away the presence of thine 3A-45 noint-Red. 2 11 The LORD hath made a faithful oath un-to David and he shall 23 not shrink 5 from "it: 2 12 Of the fruit of thy body shall I set up* on 5thy "seat. 13 If thy children will keep my covenant," and my testimonies that 2I 3 shall learn them: their children also shall sit upon thy seat for 14 For the LORD hath chosen tation 2 for 3 him-'self: he hath ev-5er-6 more. Sion to be an habilong-3ed 45 for her. |
