2 Yea, ye imagine mischief in your heart up on' the earth and your hands | deal' with | wicked

ness.

3 The ungodly are froward, even from their | mother's womb as soon as they are born, they | go a'stray, and' speak | lies.

4 They are as venomous as the poison | of' a | serpent even like the deaf | adder' that | stoppeth' her ears;

5 Which refuseth to hear the voice | of the | charmer charm'he | never' so wisely.

:

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouths; smite the jawbones of the lions, O Lord: let them fall away like water that runneth apace; and when they shoot their arrows let | them' be | root'ed |

out.

7 Let them consume away like a snail, and be like the untimely fruit of a woman and let | them' not see' the sun.

8 Or ever your pots be made | hot' with thorns : so let indignation vex him, even | as a' thing | that' is raw.

9 The righteous shall rejoice when he | seeth the | vengeance : he shall wash his footsteps in the | blood' of the ungodly.

10 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the | righteous doubtless there is a God' that judgeth' the earth.

DAY 11.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM LIX. Eripe me de inimicis.

DELIVER

me.

ELIVER me from mine enemies, | O - | God: defend me from them that' rise up against

:

2 O deliver me from the wick'ed | doers and save me from the' blood-thirsty | men.

3 For lo, they lie waiting | for my soul: the mighty men are gathered against me, without any offence or fault' of me, O Lord.

4 They run and prepare themselves | without' my fault arise thou therefore to | help' me, | and' be hold.

:

5 Stand up, O Lord God of hosts, thou God of Israel, to visit | all' the | heathen : and be not merciful unto them that offend | of malicious | wicked

ness.

6 They go to and fro | in' the evening they grin like a dog, and run a'bout | through' the city. 7 Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are | in' their | lips : for | who - | doth - | hear?

8 But thou, O Lord, shalt have them | in' derision and thou shalt laugh | all' the | heathen' to |

scorn.

:

9 My strength will I ascribe | un'to | thee for thou art the God' of | my - | refuge.

10 God sheweth me his | good'ness | plenteously: and God shall let me see my desire' up on mine | enemies.

11 Slay them not, lest my people' for get it: but scatter them abroad among the people, and put them down, O' Lord, our' defence.

12 For the sin of their mouth, and for the words of their lips, they shall be taken | in' their | pride : and why? their preaching | is' of | cursing' and | lies. 13 Consume them in thy wrath, consume them, that they may | perish and know that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and unto | the' ends | of' the | world.

:

14 And in the evening they will' return grin like a dog, and will go' about' the city.

15 They will run here and there' for meat: and grudge | if they | be' not satisfied.

16 As for me, I will sing of thy power, and will praise thy mercy betimes | in' the morning for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day | of my trouble.

17 Unto thee, O my strength, | will' I sing for thou, O God, art my refuge, | and' my | merci'ful | God.

PSALM LX. Deus, repulisti nos.

GOD, thou hast cast us out, and scattered | us' a broad thou hast also been displeased; O turn thee un'to us' again.

2 Thou hast moved the land, | and' divided it : heal the sores there'of, | for' it | shaketh.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people | heavy | things: thou hast given us a | drink' of | dead'ly | wine.

4 Thou hast given a token for | such as | fear

:

thee that they may triumph | be'cause of the | truth.

5 Therefore were thy be loved' delivered help me with thy' right | hand,' and | hear me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness, I will rejoice, | and di'vide | Sichem and mete | out' the valley' of | Succoth.

:

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasses' is mine : Ephraim also is the strength of my head; | Ju'dah is' my law-giver;

8 Moab is my wash-pot; over Edom will I cast! out' my shoe Philistia, | be' thou | glad' of me. 9 Who will lead me into the' strong city who will bring me | in'to | Edom?

:

10 Hast not thou cast us | out,' O | God wilt not thou, O God, | go' out | with our | hosts ?

11 O be thou our | help' in | trouble : for | vain ́ is the help of man.

12 Through God will we | do' great | acts: for it is he that shall' tread down' our

enemies.

2 From the ends of the earth will I call up'on |

thee when my heart - | is' in | heaviness.

:

3 O set me up upon the rock that is | higher'

:

than I for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me' against' the enemy.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle' for | ever and my trust shall be under the cover'ing of thy wings.

5 For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires : and hast given an heritage unto | those that | fear thy Name.

6 Thou shalt grant the King | a' long | life: that his years may endure through out' all generations. 7 He shall dwell before | God' for | ever : O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, | that' they | may' pre serve him.

8 So will I alway sing praise un to' thy | Name: that I may daily' perform' my | vows.

MY

PSALM LXII. Nonne Deo?

:

Y soul truly waiteth | still up'on | God for of him com'eth | my' salvation.

2 He verily is my strength and | my salvation : he is my defence, so that I shall not | greatly | fall. 3 How long will ye imagine mischief against | every man ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and | like' a | bro'ken | hedge.

4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God | will' exalt their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, | but' curse | with their

heart.

5 Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou | still up'on | God for my hope | is' in | him.

:

6 He truly is my strength and my salvation :

he is my defence, so that' I shall not | fall.
