PSALM 1.

Beatus vir, qui non abiit &c.

LESSED is the man that hath not walked in

BLES

the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

:

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord : and in his law will he exercise himself day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side that will bring forth his fruit in due

season.

4 His leaf also shall not wither and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

FOR A SICK PERSON.

ALMIGHTY GOD, and merciful F whom alone belong the issues of death; Look down from heaven, we hul seech thee, with the eyes of mercy upon vant now lying upon the bed of sickness him, O Lord, with thy salvation; deliver thy good appointed time from his bodil. and save his soul for thy mercies' sake: it shall be thy pleasure to prolong his da on earth, he may live to thee, and be an ment of thy glory, by serving thee faithfulì ̧ doing good in his generation; or else receiv into those heavenly habitations, where the · of them that sleep in the Lord Jesus enjo petual rest and felicity. Grant this, O Lord thy mercies' sake, in the same thy Son our Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world v out end. Amen.

A1

RECOVERY FROM SICKNESS. LMIGHTY and Everlasting God, to wh belong the issues of life and death; bless thy great goodness towards thy serva lately raised from the bed of sickness. Grant, Lord, to him and to us such a sense of thy goo ness, as may lead us to dedicate ourselves, son" and bodies, to thy service all the rest of our live through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

6 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

7 But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous and the way of the ungodly shall perish.

PSALM II.

Quare fremuerunt gentes?

HY do the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain

thing?

2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together: against the Lord, and against his Anointed.

3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath: and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my King: upon my holy hill of Sion.

7 I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said unto me: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

8 Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

:

9 Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron: and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be ness, od, ye that are judges of the earth. and boderve the Lord in fear and rejoice unto through J reverence.

:

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way: if his wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,) blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

PSALM III.

Domine, quid multiplicati?

ORD, how are they increased that trouble me many are they that rise against me.

2 Many one there be that say of my soul: There is no help for him in his God.

3 But thou, O Lord, art my defender : thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.

4 I did call upon the Lord with my voice: and he heard me out of his holy hill.

5 I laid me down and slept, and rose up again: for the Lord sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

:

7 Up, Lord, and help me, O my God for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheek-bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

:

8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord and thy blessing is upon thy people.

PSALM IV.

Cum invocarem.

HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteous

ness thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme
