EVENING PRAYER. Pfalm xxii. Deus, Deus meus. M Y God, my God, look upon me! why haft thou forfaken me, and art fo far from my health, and from the words of my complaint? 2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou heareft not and in the night-feafon also I take no rest. 3 And thou continueft holy, O thou worship of Ifrael. 4 Our fathers hoped in thee; they trufted in thee, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They called upon thee, and were holpen; they put their truft in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But as for me, I am a worm, and no man; a very fcorn of men, and the outcaft of the people. 7 All they that fee me, laugh me to fcorn; they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads, faying, 8 He trufted in God, that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, if he will have him. 9 But thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; thou waft my hope, when I hanged yet upon my mother's breafts. 10 I have been left unto thee ever fince I was born; thou art my God even from my mother's womb. 11 O go not from me; for trouble is hard at hand, and there is none to help me. 12 Many oxen are come about me; fat bulls of Bafan close me in on every fide. 13 They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a ramping and a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart alfo in the midst of my body is even like melting wax. 15 My ftrength is dried up like a potfherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and and thou shalt bring me into the duft of death. 16 For many dogs are come about me, and the council of the wicked layeth fiege against me. 17 They pierced my hands, and my feet: I may tell all my bones: they stand staring and looking upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and caft lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord; thou art my fuccour, hafte thee to help me. 20 Deliver my foul from the fword, my darling from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth; thou haft heard me alfo from among the horns of the unicorns. 22 I will declare thy Name unto my brethren; in the midft of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 O praise the Lord, ye that fear him; magnify him all ye of the feed of Jacob; and fear him, all ye feed of Ifrael. 24 For he hath not defpifed nor abhorred the low eftate of the poor; he hath not hid his face from him; but when he called unto him, he heard him. 25 My praife is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the fight of them that fear him. 26 The poor shall eat, and be fatisfied; they that feek after the Lord, fhall praise him your heart fhall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember themfelves, and be turned unto the Lord; and all the kindreds of the nations fhall worship before him. 28 For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he is the Governor among the people. 29 All fuch as be fat upon earth have eaten, and worshipped. 30 All they that go down. into the duft fhall kneel before him, and no man hath quickened his own soul. 31 My feed fhall ferve him; they fhall be counted unto the Lord for a generation. 32 They fhall come, and the heavens fhall declare his righteoufnefs unto a people that shall be born, whom the Lord hath made. Pfalm xxiii. Dominus regit me. THE Lord is my fhepherd; therefore can I TH lack nothing. 2 He fhall feed me in a green pafture, and lead me forth befide the waters of comfort. 3 He shall convert my foul, and and bring me forth in the ing from the Lord, and righpaths of righteousness for his teoufnefs from the God of his Name's fake. falvation. TH HE earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is ; the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the feas, and prepared it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall rife up in his holy place? 4 Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor fworn to deceive his neighbour. 6 This is the generation of them that feek him; even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlafting doors; and the King of glory fhall come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is the King of glory? even the Lords of hofts, he is the King of glory. Pfalm xxv. UNIO Ad te, Domine, levavi. NTO thee, O Lord, will I lift up my foul; my God, I have put my truft in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me. 2 For all they that hope in thee fhall not be ashamed; but fuch as tranfgrefs without a cause, shall be put to confufion. 3 Show me thy ways, O Lord, and teach me thy paths. 4 Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me; for thou 5 He hall receive the bleff- art the God of my falvation : in thee hath been my hope all the day long. 5 Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy loving kindneffes, which have been ever of old. 6 O remember not the fins and offences of my youth; but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness. 7 Gracious and righteous is the Lord; therefore will he teach finners in the way. have mercy upon me; for I am defolate, and in mifery. 16 The forrows of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my troubles. 17 Look upon my adverfity and mifery, and forgive me all my fin. 18 Confider mine enemies how many they are; and they bear a tyrannous hate against me. 19 O keep my foul, and deliver me: let me not be 8 Them that are meek confounded, for I have put fhall he guide in judgment; my trust in thee. and fuch as are gentle, them shall he learn his way. 9 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto fuch as keep his covenant, and his teftimonies. 10 For thy Name's fake, O Lord, be merciful unto my fin; for it is great. II What man is he that feareth the Lord? him fhall he teach in the way that he fhall choose. 12 His foul fhall dwell at ease, and his feed shall inherit the land. 13 The fecret of the Lord is among them that fear him, and he will show them his Covenant. 14 Mine eyes are ever looking unto the Lord; for he fhall pluck my feet out of the net. 15 Turn thee unto me, and 20 Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me; for my hope hath been in thee. 21 Deliver Ifrael, O God, out of all his troubles. Pfalm xxvi. B Judica me, Domine. E thou my Judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently: my truft hath been alfo in the Lord, there fore fhall I not fall. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try out my reins and my heart. 3 For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes; and I will walk in the truth. 4 I have not dwelt with vain perfons; neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful. |
