Morning Prayer.

Psal. 1. Deus deorum.

HE Lord, even the most mighty God, - hath - spoken: and called the world, from the rising up of the sun, - unto the going down - there - of.

2 Out of Sion-hath God - ap- peared in - per- fect - bea-u-ty. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not - keep - silence: there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round - a - bout him.

4 He shall call the heaven - from above and the earth, - that he may - judge - his - people.

5 Gather my saints - together - unto me: those that have made a covenant with me - with - sacrifice.

6 And the heaven - shall declare - his - righteousness: for - God -is- Judge him - self.

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak: I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; - for I-am- God, -even- thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee because of thy sacrifices, or- for thy bu-rnt-offerings: because they were - not - al - way -be-fore

9 I will take no bullock-out-of thine - house nor - he - goat - out of thy - folds.

10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine and so are the cattle-upon-a-thou - sand - hills.

11 I know all the fowls up on the mountains and the wild beasts of the field - are - in - my - sight.

15 And call upon me - in the time-of- trouble: so - will I hear - thee, and thou shalt - praise me.

16 But unto the ungodly said - God: Why dost thou preach my laws, - and takest - my - covenant - in thy - mouth; 17 Whereas thou hatest - to be re-formed and hast cast -my-words-behind thee?

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou - consentedst - unto him : and hast been - partak - er - with - the adulterers.

19 Thou hast let - thy mouth - speak - wickedness: and with thy tongue - thou hast - set - forth de- ceit.

20 Thou satest, and spakest - against - thy - brother: yea, and - hast slandered thine - own - mother's son.

21 These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue, and thou thoughtest wickedly, that I am even such a one-as- thy - self: but I will reprove thee, and set before thee - the things-that-thou - hast - done.

22 O consider this, ye - that forge-t- God: lest I pluck you away, - and - there be - none - to de- liver you.

23 Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, - he hon - oureth - me : and to him that ordereth his conversation right - will I shew - the salvation of - God.

Psal. li. Miserere mei, Deus.

AVE mercy upon me, O God, - after thy great-goodness: according to the multitude of thy mercies - do -a - way - mine of- fences.

2 Wash me - throughly - from my - wickedness and cleanse - me from my sin.

:

3 For I-acknowledge my faults and - my sin - is - e - ver before me.

4 Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil - in th - y -sight that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, -and clear -when-thou - art - judged.

5 Behold, I was shap - en in - wickedness

my - mother con- ceived me.

6 But lo, thou requirest truth - in the in-ward - parts shalt make me to under- stand - wis - dom - secretly.

7 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, - and I - shall be - clean : thou shalt wash me, - and I - shall be - whit - er than - snow.

8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy - and - gladness: that the bones which thou hast - broken - may - re-joice.

9 Turn thy face from my sins: and -put-out - all - my mis - deeds.

10 Make me a clean heart, - O -- God and -renew - spirit with - in me.

a right 11 Cast me not-away - from thy - presence: and take not - thy holy Spirit - from me.

12 O give me the comfort - of thy help-a-gain: and - stablish - me with thy - free - Spirit.

13 Then shall I teach - thy ways un- to the wicked: and sinners - shall be - con - verted - unto - thee.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art - the God of my health and my tongue - shall - sing - of thy - righteousness.

15 Thou shalt open - my lips, -O-Lord : and - my mouth - shall - shew - thy - praise.

16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, - else - would I - give it thee : but thou - delightest - not - in - burnt - offerings.

17 The sacrifice of God - is a troubled - spirit: a broken and contrite heart, - O God, - shalt - thou - not des - pise.

18 O be favourable and - gracious - unto - Sion: build thou - the walls - of Je - ru - sa - lem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt offerings - and ob-lations: then shall they offer young-bullocks - up - on - thine - altar.

Psal. lii. Quid gloriaris.

HY boastest thou - thyself, - thou - tyrant : tha - t - thou - canst - do - mischief;

2 Whereas the goodness of God: en- dur - eth - ye-t - daily?

3 Thy tongue - ima - gineth - wickedness and with lies thou cuttest - like - a - sha - rp - razor.

4 Thou hast loved unrighteousness - more-than- goodness: and to talk - of li-es-more-than- righteousness.

5 Thou hast loved to speak all words - that may - do - hurt : Othou-fa - Ise - tongue.

6 Therefore shall God - destroy - thee for ever he shall take thee, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling, and root thee - out of the-land-of the- living.

7 The righteous also shall see this, and fear and shall laugh-him- to - scorn;

8 Lo, this is the man that took not - God - for his - strength :

but trusted unto the multitude of his riches, - and strength - ened him - self-in his - wickedness.

9 As for me, I am like a green olive-tree- in the house - of - God my trust is in the tender mercy of God - for- e - ver and - ever.

10 I will always give thanks unto thee - for that thou hast - done and I will hope in thy Name, - for-thy - saints - like it - well.

Evening Prayer.

Psal. liii. Dixit insipiens.

HE foolish body - hath said - in his - heart: There - i-s-n-o - God.

2 Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their - wickedness: there is none - that - do -eth - good.

3 God looked down from heaven upon - the children of - men : to see if there were any, that would understand, - and - seek - after - God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are al - together be come abominable: there is also none that doeth - good,

- no-not- one.

5 Are not they without understanding - that - work - wickedness; eating up my people as if they would eat bread? - they have - not -called-upon - God.

6 They were afraid - where no - fear was for God hath broken the bones of him that besieged thee; thou hast put them to confusion, - because - God - hath - de - spised them.

7 Oh, that the salvation were given - unto Israel - out of - Sion: Oh, that that the Lord would deliver his people - out of cap - tivity!

8 Then - should Jacob re-joice and Israel should-be - right - glad.
