Prayers, &c.

LORD, have mercy upon us.
CHRIST, have mercy upon us.
LORD, have mercy upon us.

OUR FATHER, Which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

O LORD, save Thy servants;

Which put our trust in Thee.

Amen.

Send us help from Thy holy place;
And evermore mightily defend us.

Let the enemy have no advantage of us;

Nor the wicked approach to hurt us.

Be unto us, O LORD, a strong tower,
From the face of our enemy.

O LORD, hear our prayers.

And let our cry come unto Thee.

Psalm XC.

DOMINE, Refugium.

LORD, THOU hast been our Refuge: from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth or the world were made: Thou art GOD from everlasting, and world without end.

Thou turnest man to destruction: again Thou sayest, Come again, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday: seeing that is past as a watch in the night.

As soon as Thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep: and fade away suddenly like the grass.

In the morning it is green, and groweth up: but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.

For we consume away in Thy displeasure: and are afraid at Thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before Thee: and our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

For when Thou art angry all our days are gone: we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years: yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

But who regardeth the power of Thy wrath: for even thereafter as a man feareth, so is Thy displeasure.

So teach us to number our days: that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Turn Thee again, O LORD, at the last: and be gracious unto Thy servants.

O satisfy us with Thy mercy, and that soon : so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

Comfort us again now after the time that Thou hast plagued us: and for the years wherein we have suffered adversity.

Shew Thy servants Thy work: and their children Thy glory.

And the glorious Majesty of the LORD our GOD be upon us: prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us, O prosper Thou our handywork.

Glory be to the FATHER, and to the SON: aud to the HOLY GHOST:

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

Psalm XCI. Qui habitat.

HOSO dwelleth under the defence of the MOST HIGH: shall abide under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY.

I will say unto the LORD, Thou art my hope, and my strong hold: my GOD in Him, will I trust.

For He shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall defend thee under His wings, and thou shalt be safe under His feathers: His faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for any terrour by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.

A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold: and see the reward of the ungodly.
