ings and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble. 13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams : I will offer bullocks and goats. 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 praises 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 mercy from me. PSALM 67. Deus misereatur. God be merciful unto us, and bless us : and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us; 2 That thy way may be known upon 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 nations upon earth. 5 Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, 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. THE THIRTEENTH DAY. Morning Prayer. PSALM 68. Exsurgat Deus. LET God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away 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 before God let them also be merry and joyful. : 4 O sing unto God, and sing praises unto 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 habitation. 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 wentest 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 inheritance: and refreshedst it when it was weary. 10 Thy congregation shall dwell therein : for thou, O God, hast of thy goodness prepared 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 lain 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 Salmon. 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 abide 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 benefits upon us. 20 He is our God, even the God of whom cometh salvation GOD is the Lord, by whom we escape 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, goest in the sanctuary. 25 The singers go before, the minstrels follow : after in the midst are the damsels playing 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 council: the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephthali. 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 presents unto thee. 30 When the company of the spearmen 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 unto 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 over 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. SA Evening Prayer. PSALM 69. Salvum me fac. : AVE me, O God for the waters are come in, even unto 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 upon my God. 4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless, are mighty. 5 I paid them the things that I never took: God, thou knowest my simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee. 6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my cause let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O Lord God of Israel. 7 And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof : shame hath covered my face. 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren : even an alien unto my mother's children. 9 For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me. 10 I wept, and chastened myself with fasting: and that was turned to my reproof. 11 I put on sackcloth also and they jested upon me. 12 They that sit in the gate speak against me: and the drunkards make songs upon me. 13 But, LORD, I make my prayer unto thee: in an acceptable time. 14 Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy even in the truth of thy salvation. 15 Take me out of the mire, that I sink not: O let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 16 Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let |
