9 As for the children of men, they are' but vanity: the children of men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter than | va'nity' itself.

10 O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves | un'to | vanity if riches increase, set | not' your heart' up on them.

11 God spake once, and twice I have also heard' the same that power be long'eth | un'to | God;

12 And that thou, Lord,' art | merciful for thou rewardest every man according | to' his | work.

PSALM LXIII. Deus, Deus meus.

GOD, thou art' my | God: early | will' I | seek - | thee.

2 My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth | after | thee : in a barren and dry land | where' no water is.

3 Thus have I looked for | thee' in | holiness: that I might be hold' thy | power' and | glory.

4 For thy loving-kindness is better than the life' it self my lips' shall | praise - | thee.

:

5 As long as I live will I magnify thee | on' this | manner : and lift up my | hands' in | thy | Name.

6 My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with | marrow' and fatness: when my mouth praiseth | thee' with joy'ful lips.

7 Have I not remembered thee | in' my bed: and thought upon | thee' when | I' was | waking?

8 Because thou hast | been' my | helper: therefore under the shadow of thy | wings' will | I' rejoice. 9 My soul hangeth | up'on | thee thy | right' hand hath' up holden me.

10 These also that seek the hurt | of' my soul: they shall go under the | earth.

11 Let them fall upon the edge | of' the | sword : that they may be a | portion' for | foxes.

12 But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him shall be commended: for the mouth of them that speak' lies | shall be |

stopped.

PSALM LXIV. Exaudi, Deus.

my voice, O God, | in' my | prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the gathering together | of the froward and from the insurrection' of wick'ed | doers;

3 Who have whet their tongue | like' a | sword: and shoot out their arrows, | ev'en | bit'ter | words;

4 That they may privily shoot at him that' is perfect suddenly | do' they | hit him,' and | fear not.

5 They encourage them selves' in mischief and commune among themselves how they may lay snares, and say, that' no | man' shall | see them.

6 They imagine wickedness, and practise | it: that they keep secret among themselves, every man | in' the deep of his | heart.

7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them | with a' swift arrow that | - ' they | shall be | wounded. 8 Yea, their own tongues shall | make them | fall: insomuch that whoso seeth them | shall' laugh | them' to scorn.

9 And all men that see it shall say, This | hath' God | done for they shall perceive | that' it | is' his | work.

:

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and put his trust' in | him : and all they that are | true of' heart shall be glad.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM LXV. Te decet hymnus.

HOU, O God, art | praised' in | Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be perform'ed in' Jeru

salem.

2 Thou that | hearest the | prayer : unto | thee' shall | all' flesh | come.

3 My misdeeds prevail' against me: O be thou merci ful' un to' our sins.

4 Blessed is the man, whom thou choosest, and receivest | un'to | thee: he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy | holy | temple.

5 Thou shalt shew us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our' salvation: thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain' in | the' broad | sea.

6 Who in his strength setteth | fast' the tains and is girded' about' with power.

:

moun

7 Who stilleth the raging | of the sea and the noise of his waves, and the | madness | of' the people.

8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens: thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and | e'vening' to praise thee.

9 Thou visitest the | earth,' and | blessest it: thou | makest' it very plenteous.

10 The river of God is full' of water: thou preparest their corn, for so thou provid'est | for the | earth.

:

11 Thou waterest her furrows, thou sendest rain into the little valleys' there of thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and | blessest' the | in'crease | of it.

12 Thou crownest the year | with' thy goodness: and thy clouds' drop | fatness.

13 They shall drop upon the dwellings | of the | wilderness and the little hills shall rejoice' on | every side.

14 The folds shall be full' of sheep also shall stand so thick with corn, that laugh' and sing.

PSALM LXVI. Jubilate Deo.

they shall |

BE joyful in God, | all' ye | lands sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make | his' praise | to' be glorious.

2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou | in'

thy works through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found | li'ars | un'to | thee.

3 For all the world shall wor'ship | thee: sing of | thee,' and | praise' thy | Name.

4 O come hither, and behold the works' of | God: how wonderful he is in his doing to ward' the | children' of men.

5 He turned the sea | into' dry | land: so that they went through the water on foot; there did | we' rejoice' there of.

6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold' the people and such as will not believe shall not be able | to' ex alt' them selves.

7 O praise our God,' ye | people: and make the voice of his' praise | to be | heard ;

8 Who holdeth our | soul' in | life: and suffereth | not' our feet' to | slip.

9 For thou, O God,' hast | proved us : thou also hast tried us, like' as | silver' is | tried.

10 Thou broughtest us into the | snare : and laidest trouble' up on' our | loins.

'11 Thou sufferedst men to ride | over' our | heads : we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy | place.

12 I will go into thine house with' burnt-offerings and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, | when I | was' in trouble.

13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense' of | rams: I will of'fer | bullocks' and | goats.
