The twentieth Day. Psalm 102. Domine, exaudi. Lord, and 10 And that, because of thine indignation and wrath; for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down. 11 My days are gone like a shadow, and I am withered like grass. 12 But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever, and thy remem brance throughout ail generations. 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion; for it is time that thou have mercy upon her; yea, the time is come. 14 And why? thy servants think upon her stones, and it pitieth them to see her in the dust. 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 HAR my prayer come unto the prayer of the poor destitute, thee. and despiseth not their desire; 2 Hide not thy face from me in 18 This shall be written for the time of my trouble; incline those that come after, and the thine ear unto me when I call; O people which shall be born shall hear me, and that right soon: praise the Lord. 3 For my days are consumed! 19 For he hath looked down from his sanctuary; out of the 8 The Lord is full of compasheaven did the Lord behold the sion and mercy, long-suffering, earth. and of great goodness. 20 That he might hear the mourning of such as are in captivity, and deliver the children appointed unto death; 21 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion, and his worship 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 journey, and shortened my days. 24 But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations. 9 He will not alway be chiding; neither keepeth he his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor reward, ed us according to our wicked nesses. 11 For look how high the hea ven is in comparison of the earth; so great is his merey also toward them that fear him! 12 Look how wide also the east is from the west; so far hath he set our sins from us! 13 Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children; even so is the Lord merciful unto them that 25 Thou, Lord, in the begin-fear him. ning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; they all shall wax old as doth a garment. 27 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight. Psalm 103. Benedic, anima mea. PRAISE the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, O my soul; and forget not all his benefits; 3 Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities; 4 Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, making thee young and lusty as an eagle. 6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment, for all them that are oppressed with wrong. 7 He showed his ways unto Moses, his works unto the children of Israel. 14 For he knoweth whereof we are made; he remembereth that we are but dust. 15 The days of man are but as grass; for he flourisheth as a flower of the field. 16 For as soon as the wind go eth over it, it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him; and his righteousness upon children's children; 18 Even upon such as keep his covenant, and think upon his commandments, to do them. 19 The Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength; ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his words. 21 O praise the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye servants of his that do his pleasure. 22 0 speak good of the Lord, all ye works of his,in all places of his dominion: Praise thou the Lord, O my soul. 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. 4 He maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire. 5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment; the waters stand in the hills, 7 At thy rebuke they flee; at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. nance, and bread to strengthen man's heart. 16 The trees of the Lord also are full of sap; even the cedars of Libanus, which he hath planted. 17 Wherein the birds make their nests; and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the stork. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and so are the stony rocks for the conies. 19 He appointed the moon for certain seasons, and the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, that it may be night; wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. 21 The lions, roaring after their prey, do seek their meat from God 22 The sun ariseth, and they get them away together, and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour, until the evening. 24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works; in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of 8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the vallies be-thy riches. neath; even unto the place which thou hast appointed for them. 9 Thou hast set them their bounds, which they shall not pass, neither turn again to cover the earth. 10 He sendeth the springs into the rivers, which run among the hills. 11 All the beasts of the field drink thereof, and the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation, and sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from above; the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. 14 He bringeth forth grass for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men. 25 So is the great and wide sea also; wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made to take his pas time therein. 27 These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them meat in due season. 28 When thou givest it them, they gather it; and when thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good. 29 When thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: when thou tak est away their breath, they die and are turned again to their dust. 30 When thou lettest thy breath go forth, they shall be made; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. 15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man; and oil 31 The glorious majesty of the to make him a cheerful counte-Lord shall endure for ever; the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 32 The earth shall tremble at the look of him; if he do but touch the hills, they shall smoke. 33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will praise my God while I have my being; 34 And so shall my words please him: my joy shall be in the Lord. 35 As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end: Praise thou the Lord, O my soul, praise the Lord.

Confitemini Domino. thanks and call upon his name;tell the people what things he hath done. 20 let your songs be of him, and praise him; and let your talking be of all his wondrous works. 3 Rejoice in his holy name; let the heart of them rejoice, that seek the Lord. 4 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face evermore. 5 Remember the marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his inouth; 60 ye seed of Abraham, his servant; ye children of Jacob,his chosen. 7 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the world. S He hath been alway mindful of his covenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations. 9 Even the covenant that he made with Abraham; and the oath that he sware unto Isaac ; 10 And appointed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament, 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance. 12 When there were yet but a few of them, and they strangers in the land; 13 What time as they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; 14 He suffered no man to do them wrong, but reproved even kings for their sakes: 15 Touch not mine Anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover, he called for a dearth upon the land, and destroyed all the provision of bread. 17 But he had sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold to be a bond-servant, 18 Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; the iron entered into his soul; 19 Until the time came that his was known: the word of the Lord tried him. 20 The king sent, and delivered him; the prince of the people let him go free. 21 He made him lord also of his house, and ruler of all his substance; 22 That he might inform his princes after his will, and teach his senators wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob, was a stranger in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger than their enemies; 25 Whose heart turned so, that they hated his people, and dealt untruly with his servants. 26 Then sent he Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen; 27 And these showed his tokens among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they were not obedient unto his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land brought forth frogs; yea, even in their king's chambers. 1 31 He spake the word, and there came all manner of flies, |
