At Morning Prayer, instead of the Psalm, O come let us sing, &c. these Anthems shall be sung or said. CHRI HRIST our passover is | sacrificed | for us therefore let us keep' the | feast; 7. Not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of | malice' and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sin ce'rity' and truth. 1 Cor. V. HRIST being raised from the dead, | dieth' no | more: death hath no | more' do|min'ion | over him. For in that he died, he died | unto' sin | once : but in that he liveth, he | liv'eth | un'to | God. CHRIS Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed | un'to | sin but alive unto God, through | Jesus Christ' our | Lord. CHRIS Rom. vi. 9. HRIST is risen | from' the | dead : and become For since by man' came | death: by man came also the resurrec'tion | of' the | dead. For as in Adam' all die even so in Christ shall all' be made' alive. 1 Cor. xv. 20. Glory be to the Father, &c. THE PSALTER. DAY 1. Morning Prayer. PSALM I. Beatus vir, qui non abiit. BLESSED is the man that hath not walked in 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 | him'self | day' and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the | wa'ter-side that will bring forth his | fruit in | due - | season. 4 His leaf also | shall not wither and look, whatsoever he do'eth, | 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. 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. WHY 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 rulers take counsel' together and a'gainst his' Anointed. stand up, and the against the Lord, | 3 Let us break their | bonds' alsunder and cast a way' 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' dis pleasure. 6 Yet have I set my King: upon my | holy | hill' of Sion. 7 I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath | said' un to me: Thou art my Son, this day' have | I' be gotten 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 | pot'ter's | vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, | O'ye | kings: be learned, ye that are | judges | of' the | earth. 11 Serve the Lord' in | fear un'to him' with | reverence. and rejoice | 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? LORD, 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 | lift'er | 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 un to' the | Lord : and thy blessing is' up on' thy | people. PSALM IV. Cum invocarem. EAR me when I call, O God of my | righte HEAR ousness: thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and | hearken' un to' my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme' mine honour and have such pleasure in vanity, and' seek af'ter | leasing? 3 Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that' is | godly: when I call upon the Lord, he' will | hear me. |
