22 O consider this, ye that forget God: lest I pluck you away, and there be none to deliver you.

23 Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, he honoureth me and to him that ordereth his conversation right, will I show the salvation of God.

PSALM 51. Miserere mei, Deus.

Henessy according to the multitude of thy

AVE mercy upon me, O God, after thy great

mercies do away mine offences.

2 Wash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.

5 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness sin hath my mother conceived me.

and in

6 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.

7 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

:

8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Turn thy face from my sins and put out all my misdeeds.

:

10 Make me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence take not thy holy Spirit from me.

and

12 O give me the comfort of thy help again : and

stablish me with thy free Spirit.

13 Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.

:

15 Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord and my mouth shall show thy praise.

16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee but thou delightest not in burntofferings.

17 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

18 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.

WHY

PSALM 52. Quid gloriaris?

HY boastest thou thyself, thou tyrant that thou canst do mischief;

2 Whereas the goodness of God: endureth yet daily?

wickedness and with

3 Thy tongue imagineth wickedness lies thou cuttest like a sharp razor.

4 Thou hast loved unrighteousness more than goodness and to talk of lies more than righteousness. 5 Thou hast loved to speak all words that may do hurt thou false tongue.

:

6 Therefore shall God destroy thee for ever: he shall take thee, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling, and root thee out of the land of the living.

7 The righteous also shall see this, and fear and shall laugh him to scorn:

8 Lo, this is the man that took not God for his strength: but trusted unto the multitude of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

9 As for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: my trust is in the tender mercy of God for ever and ever.

10 I will alway give thanks unto thee for that thou hast done and I will hope in thy Name, for thy saints like it well.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM 53. Dixit insipiens.

THE foolish body hath said in his heart : There is

2 Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickedness: there is none that doeth good.

3 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that would understand, and seek after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is also none that doeth good, no not one.

5 Are not they without understanding that work wickedness eating up my people as if they would eat bread? they have not called upon God.

6 They were afraid where no fear was for God hath broken the bones of him that besieged thee; thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

70 that the salvation were given unto Israel out of Sion: O that the Lord would deliver his people out of captivity!

8 Then should Jacob rejoice and Israel should be right glad.

SAVE

PSALM 54. Deus, in Nomine.

(AVE me, O God, for thy Name's sake: and avenge me in thy strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God and hearken unto the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.

4 Behold, God is my helper the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies : destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy Name, O LORD: because it is so comfortable.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all my trouble and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

PSALM 55. Exaudi, Deus.

EAR my prayer, O God: and hide not thyself

Hfrom my

petition.

2 Take heed unto me, and hear me how I mourn in my prayer, and am vexed;

3 The enemy crieth so, and the ungodly cometh on so fast for they are minded to do me some mischief, so maliciously are they set against me.

4 My heart is disquieted within me and the fear of death is fallen upon me.

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me: and an horrible dread hath overwhelmed me.

6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove for then would I flee away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I get me away far off : and remain in the wilderness.

8 I would make haste to escape

stormy wind and tempest.

because of the

9 Destroy their tongues, O Lord, and divide them for I have spied unrighteousness and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about within the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 11 Wickedness is therein deceit and guile go not out of her streets.

:

12 For it is not an open enemy that hath done me this dishonour for then I could have borne it; 13 Neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me for then peradventure I would have hid myself from him;

14 But it was even thou, my companion: my guide, and mine own familiar friend.

15 We took sweet counsel together and walked in the house of God as friends.

16 Let death come hastily upon them, and let them go down quick into hell for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

:

:

17 As for me, I will call upon God and the LORD shall save me.

18 In the evening, and morning, and at noon-day will I pray, and that instantly and he shall hear my voice.

19 It is he that hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me for there were many with me.

20 Yea, even God, that endureth for ever, shall hear me, and bring them down for they will not turn, nor fear God.

21 He laid his hands upon such as be at peace with him and he brake his covenant.

22 The words of his mouth were softer than butter, having war in his heart his words were smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

23 O cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall nourish thee and shall not suffer the righteous to fall for ever.

24 And as for them thou, O God, shalt bring them into the pit of destruction.
