Health is far from the ungodly for they regard not thy statutes.

Great is thy mercy, O Lord : * quicken me as thou art wont.

Many there are that trouble me and persecute me; * yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.

It grieveth me when I see the transgressors; because they keep not thy law.

*

Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments: * O quicken me, according to thy loving-kindness.

Thy word is true from everlasting: * all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for evermore.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, + is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

Psalm 119, xi. Principes persecuti sunt.

PRINCES have persecuted me without a cause : * but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

I am as glad of thy word, ✶ as one that findeth great spoils.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them : * but thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee * because of thy righteous judgments. Great is the peace that they have

who love thy law and they are not offended at it.

Lord, I have looked for thy saving health, and done after thy commandments.

My soul hath kept thy testimonies : * and loved them exceedingly.

I have kept thy commandments and testimonies : * for all my ways are before thee.

Let my complaint come before thee, O Lord: * give me understanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before deliver me according to thy

thee word.

My lips shall speak of thy praise, * when thou hast taught me thy statutes. Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word for all thy commandments are righteous.

Let thine hand help me; * for I have chosen thy commandments.

I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord; and in thy law is my delight.

O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and thy judgments shall help

me.

I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost; * O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, + is now,

and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

For the Epistle. Acts 10. 34.

PETER

ETER opened his mouth, and said, a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every

nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all :) that word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
