14 O come hither, and hearken, all ye | that' fear | God and I will tell you what | he hath' done | for' my soul.

15 I called unto him | with' my mouth and gave him prais'es | with' my tongue.

16 If I incline unto wickedness | with' mine | heart: the Lord - | will' not | hear me.

17 But God hath | heard me : and considered the voice' of my prayer.

18 Praised be God, who hath not cast | out' my | prayer: nor turned' his | mer'cy | from me.

PSALM LXVII. Deus misereatur.

OD be merciful unto us,' and | bless us and

G of countenance, and be

mer ciful' un to us;

2 That thy way may be known | up'on | earth: thy saving health' among all | nations.

3 Let the people praise | thee,' O | God: yea, let | all' the people | praise thee.

4 O let the nations rejoice | and' be | glad : for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the na'tions | up'on | earth.

:

5 Let the people praise | thee,' O | God let all the people praise - | thee.

6 Then shall the earth bring | forth' her | increase : and God, even our own | God,' shall | give us' his | blessing.

7 God-shall | bless us and all the ends of the world' shall | fear - | him.

PSALM LXVIII. Exurgat Deus.

ET God arise, and let his enemies' be

LET

scat

tered: let them also that | hate' him | flee' belfore him.

2 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them a way and like as wax melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly perish | at the presence' of God.

3 But let the righteous be glad and rejoice be'fore God let them also' be | merry' and | joyful. I 4 O sing unto God, and sing praises un to' his | Name: magnify him that rideth upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse; praise him in his Name JAH, | and' rejoice' before him.

5 He is a Father of the fatherless, and defendeth the cause of the | widows: even God in his | holy | ha'bitation.

6 He is the God that maketh men to be of one mind in an house, and bringeth the prisoners | out of" captivity but letteth the | runagates' continue' in |

scarceness.

7 O God, when thou wentest forth before the | people when thou | went'est | through the wilderness,

:

8 The earth shook, and the heavens dropped at the presence of God: even as Sinai also was moved at the presence of God, who | is' the | God' of Israel.

9 Thou, O God, sentest a gracious rain upon | thine' in heritance and refreshedst' it | when it' was

weary.

10 Thy congregation shall | dwell' there in for thou, O God, hast of thy goodness pre|par'ed | for' the poor.

11 The Lord gave' the | word: great was the | company of the | preachers.

12 Kings with their armies did flee, and | were' discomfited and they of the household' divided' the spoil.

:

13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings | of' a | dove that is covered with silver wings, and' her | feathers' like | gold.

14 When the Almighty scattered kings for their | sake: then were they as | white' as | snow' in | Sal

mon.

15 As the hill of Basan, | so' is | God's hill: even an high hill, | as' the | hill' of | Basan.

16 Why hop ye so, ye high hills? this is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth | him' to | dwell: yea, the Lord will a bide' in | it' for | ever.

17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of | angels: and the Lord is among them, as in the holy | place' of | Sinai.

18 Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, and received | gifts' for | men: yea, even for thine enemies, that the Lord | God' might | dwell' among them.

19 Praised be the | Lord | daily even the God who helpeth us, and poureth his | be'nefits' upon us.

20 He is our God, even the God of whom | cometh' salvation God is the Lord, | by' whom we es'cape | death.

21 God shall wound the head | of his | enemies : and the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth | on' still | in' his wickedness.

22 The Lord hath said, I will bring my people again, as I did' from | Basan : mine own will I bring again, as I did sometime from | the' deep of the

sea.

23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood | of' thine | enemies : and that the tongue of thy dogs may be red through' the | same.

24 It is well seen, O God, | how' thou | goest: how thou, my God and King, | go'est | in' the | sanctuary.

25 The singers go before, the minstrels | follow | after : in the midst are the damsels | play'ing | with' the timbrels.

26 Give thanks, O Israel, unto God the Lord in the congregations from the | ground - | of the | heart.

27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, and the princes of Judah' their counsel the princes of | Zabulon, and the | princes' of | Nepthali.

28 Thy God hath sent forth | strength' for | thee: stablish the thing, O God, | that' thou | hast' wrought |

in us,

29 For thy temple's sake | at' Jerusalem so shall kings bring | pre'sents | un'to thee.

30 When the company of the spear-men, and

multitude of the mighty are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they humbly bring | pieces of silver and when he hath scattered the people that delight' in | war;

:

31 Then shall the princes come | out' of | Egypt: the Morians' land shall soon stretch | out' her | hands' unto God.

32 Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms | of' the earth: O sing praises' un to' the | Lord;

33 Who sitteth in the heavens over all | from the' beginning lo, he doth send out his voice, yea, and that a mighty | voice.

34 Ascribe ye the power to God | o'ver | Israel : his worship, and | strength' is | in' the clouds.

35 O God, wonderful art thou in thy | holy | places: even the God of Israel; he will give strength and power unto his | people; | blessed' be | God.

DAY 13.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM LXIX. Salvum me fac.

SAVE | me,' O God: for the waters are come in, |

even' un to' my soul.

2 I stick fast in the deep mire, | where' no | ground is I am come into deep waters, so that' the floods'

:

run over me.

3 I am weary of crying; my throat' is dry: my sight faileth me for waiting so | long' up on' my | God.

4 They that hate me without a cause are more
