So teach us to number cur days,

That we may get us an heart of wisdom.
Return, O Lord: how long?

And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy;

That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,

And the years wherein we have seen evil.

Let thy work appear unto thy servants,

And thy glory upon their children.

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:
And establish thou the work of our hands upon us;
Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

PSALM XCI.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in whom I trust.

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and a buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

For thou, O Lord, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him ;

I will be with him in trouble:

I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him,
And shew him my salvation.

PSALM XCII.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
And thy faithfulness every night,

With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;
With a solemn sound upon the harp.

For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work:
I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

How great are thy works, O Lord!
Thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this:
When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;
It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
But thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore.
For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,

For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:

I am anointed with fresh oil.

Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies,

Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree :

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

They that are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

They shall be full of sap and green:

To shew that the Lord is upright;

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

PSALM XCIII.

The Lord reigneth; he is apparelled with majesty ;

The Lord is apparelled, he hath girded himself with strength: The world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Thy throne is established of old:

Thou art from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,

The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
Above the voices of many waters,
The mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord on high is mighty.
Thy testimonies are very sure:
Holiness becometh thine house,
O Lord, for evermore.

PSALM XCV.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord:

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,
Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God,

And a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, and he made it ;

And his hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down;

Let us kneel before the Lord our maker:

For he is our God,

And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his

hand.

To-day, Oh that ye would hear his voice!

Harden not your heart, as at Meribah,

As in the day of Massah in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me,

Proved me, and saw my work.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation,

And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,

And they have not known my ways:
Wherefore I sware in my wrath,

That they should not enter into my rest.

PSALM XCVI.

O sing unto the Lord a new song:
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;

Shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations,

His marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and highly to be praised:
He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols:
But the Lord made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him :

Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the peoples,
Give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name:
Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
Tremble before him, all the earth.

Say among the nations, The Lord reigneth:

The world also is stablished that it cannot be moved:

He shall judge the peoples with equity.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;
Before the Lord, for he cometh;
