they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy' years | shall' not | fail. 28 The children of thy servants | shall' continue : and their seed shall | stand' fast | in' thy | sight.

DAY 20. PRAISE Evening Prayer. PSALM CIV. Benedic, anima mea. RAISE the Lord, | O' my | soul: O Lord my art clothed with | ma'jesty' and honour. 2 Thou deckest thyself with light as it were | with a garment: and spreadest out the heavens | like' a curtain. 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers | in' the waters and maketh the clouds his chariot, and : walketh upon | the' wings | of the | wind. 4 He maketh his angels | spirits and his | ministers' a flam'ing fire. 5 He laid the foundations | of the earth: that it never should | move' at | a'ny | time. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep like as | with' a garment: the | waters' stand | in' the | hills. 7 At thy rebuke' they | flee: at the voice of thy | thunder' they are afraid. 8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys' beneath even into the place which thou hast appoint'ed | for them. 9 Thou hast set them their bounds which they | shall' not pass: neither turn again' to | cover' the | earth. 10 He sendeth the springs in to' the rivers : which run' among' the hills. : 11 All beasts of the field drink' there of and the wild ass'es | quench' their | thirst. 12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation: and sing' among' the branches. | 13 He watereth the hills | from' above the earth is filled with the | fruit' of | thy - | works. 14 He bringeth forth grass | for the ❘ cattle : and green herb | for the | service' of | men ; 15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the | heart' of | man and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and | bread' to | strengthen' man's heart. 16 The trees of the Lord also are | full' of | sap : even the cedars of Libanus' which | he' hath | planted; 17 Wherein the birds | make' their | nests and the fir-trees are a | dwell'ing | for the | stork. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the' wild | goats and so are the | stony' rocks | for the | conies. 19 He appointed the moon for | certain | seasons and the sun | knoweth' his | go'ing | down. 20 Thou makest darkness that it may be | night wherein all the beasts of the | forest' do | move. 21 The lions roaring | after their prey do seek' their meat' from | God. 22 The sun ariseth, and they get them alway' together and lay' them down in' their dens. 23 Man goeth forth to his work, and | to' his | labour: until' the evening. 24 O Lord, how manifold | are' thy | works: in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth | is' full | of thy riches. 25 So is the great and | wide' sea | also: wherein are things creeping innumerable, | both' small and' great beasts. 26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan whom thou hast made to | take' his | pastime' there in. : 27 These wait all | up'on | thee: that thou mayest give them' meat | in' due | season. 28 When thou givest it them they | ga'ther | it: and when thou openest thy hand | they' are | filled' with good. 29 When thou hidest thy face | they' are | troubled when thou takest away their breath they die, : and are turned' again' to their | dust. 30 When thou lettest thy breath go forth they | shall be made and thou shalt re new' the the earth. face of 31 The glorious Majesty of the Lord shall en-| dure' for | ever: the Lord shall rejoice - | in' his | works. 32 The earth shall tremble at the | look' of | him if he do but touch the hills, - | they' shall | smoke. : 33 I will sing unto the Lord as | long as' I | live : I will praise my God | while' I have' my being. 34 And so shall my | words' please | him my joy shall be in' the | Lord. 35 As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come | to an | end praise thou the Lord, O | my soul, | praise' the Lord. |
