Morning Prayer.

prayer,' O | Lord and let my | cry

ing' come un'to | thee.

:

2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of

my trouble incline thine ear unto me when I call; O | hear me,' and that' right | soon.

:

3 For my days are consumed a way' like | smoke : and my bones are burnt up | as' it | were' a | firebrand.

4 My heart is smitten down, and | withered' like | grass so that I forget' to | eat' my bread.

5 For the voice | of' my groaning my bones will scarce' cleave | to' my | flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican | in' the | wilderness and like an owl | that' is | in' the desert.

7 I have watched, and am even as it were' a | sparrow that sitteth alone' up on' the | house-top.

8 Mine enemies revile me all the day | long : and they that are mad upon me are | sworn' to gether' against me.

9 For I have eaten ashes | as it' were | bread : and mingled my | drink' with | weeping;

10 And that because of thine indig|nation' and | wrath for thou hast taken me | up,' and | cast' me | down.

15 The heathen shall fear thy | Name,' O | Lord : and all the kings' of the earth' thy | Majesty;

16 When the Lord shall | build' up | Sion and when his glory | shall' appear;

17 When he turneth him unto the prayer of | the' poor | destitute and despiseth' not | their' desire.

18 This shall be written for those that come | after and the people which shall be | born' shall praise' the Lord.

19 For he hath looked down | from' his | sanctuary: out of the heaven did the | Lord' behold' the | earth;

20 That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity and deliver the children ap-| point'ed un'to | death;

21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord' in | Sion : and his | wor'ship | at' Jerusalem; 22 When the people are gathered together : and the kingdoms | also,' to | serve' the | Lord.

23 He brought down my strength | in' my | jour
