I have hated those who regard superstitious vanities, and my trust hath been in the Lord.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble, and hast known my soul in adversities.

O how plentiful is thy goodness which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for those who put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

Thou shalt hide them in the place of thine own presence from the insults of men; thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

Thanks be to the Lord; for he hath shown me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

For I had said in my haste, I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes. Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer,

when I cried unto thee.

O love the Lord, all ye his saints; for the Lord preserveth those who are faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.

Be strong, and he shall

BLESSED is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven, and whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining.

For thy hand was heavy upon me day and night; and my moisture was turned into the drought in summer.

I will acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine unrighteousness have I not hid.

I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord; and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin.

For this shall every one who is godly make his prayer unto thee, in a

time when thou mayest be found; and in the great water floods they shall not come nigh him.

Thou art a place to hide me in; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go, and I will guide thee with mine

eye.

Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding; whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle, lest they fall upon thee.

Great plagues remain for the ungodly; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord, mercy embraceth him on every side.

Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord; and be joyful all ye who are true of heart.

PSALM 33.

REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous; for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Sing unto the Lord a new song; sing praises unto him skilfully, with an exalted voice.

For the word of the

Lord is true, and all his works are faithful. He loveth righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon a heap; and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure house.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; stand in awe of him, all ye who dwell in the world.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes.

The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever; and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and blessed are the people that he hath chosen to him to be his inheritance.

The Lord looketh down from heaven, and behold

eth all the children of men ; from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all those who dwell on the earth.

He fashioneth all the hearts of them, and understandeth all their works.

There is no king who can be saved by the multitude of an host; neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

A horse is but a vain thing for safety; neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him, and upon those who put their trust in his mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to feed them in the time of famine. Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord; for he is our help and our shield.

For our hearts shall rejoice in him; because we have trusted in his holy

name.

Let thy merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us, as we do put our trust in thee.

Now unto the King eternal, &c.

Be honour and glory, &c.

The Seventh Day.

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM 34.

I WILL alway give thanks unto the Lord; his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O praise the Lord with me, and let us magnify his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me; yea, he delivered me out of all my fear.

They looked unto him, and were enlightened; and their faces were not ashamed.

Lo, the poor crieth, and the Lord heareth him; yea, and saveth him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord tarrieth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.

O taste, and see how gracious the Lord is; blessed is the man who trusteth in him,

O fear the Lord, ye who are his saints; for those who fear him lack nothing.

The lions do lack, and
