Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy

youth,

While the evil days come not,

Nor the years draw nigh,

Then

When thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun, or the light,

Or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened,
Nor the clouds return after the rain:

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,

And the strong men shall bow themselves, And the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look out of the windows be darkened,

And the doors shall be shut in the streets;

When the sound of the grinding is low,

And he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, And all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high,

And fears shall be in the way,

And the almond-tree shall flourish,

And the grasshopper shall be a burden,

And desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home,

And the mourners go about the streets.

Or ever the silver cord be loosed,

Or the golden bowl be broken,

Or the pitcher be broken at the fountain,

Or the wheel be broken at the cistern;

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, And the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

S. And he shall bring it to pass.

T. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

S. And thy judgment as the noonday.

T. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:

S. Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
T. For evil doers shall be cut off;

TRUTH.

Teacher. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

School. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. T. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely,

S.

Neither lie one to another.

T. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house,

S. He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

T. These are the things that ye shall do:

S. Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;

And love no false oath.

Lie not one to another.

Buy the truth, and sell it not.

T. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. S. The mouth that speaketh lies shall be stopped.

T. The lip of truth shall be established for ever; S. But a lying tongue is but for a moment. All. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.

O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
