EVENING PRAYER.

PSALM 113. PRAISE the Lord, ye

servants of his; O praise the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from this time forth for evermore.

Let the Lord's name be praised, from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, who hath his dwelling so high, and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that in heaven and earth? He taketh up the simple out of the dust, and lifteth the poor out of the mire;

are

That he may set him with the princes, even with the princes of his people.

PSALM 115.

NOT unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give the praise, for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is now their God?

As for our God, he is in hea ven; he hath done whatsoever pleased him.

Their idols are silver and gold, even the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but speak not; eyes have they, but see not.

They have ears, but hear not; noses have they, but smell not.

They have hands, but handle not; feet have they, and walk not; neither speak they through their throat.

They who make them are like unto them; and so are all they who put their trust in them.

But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord; he is their succour and defence.

Thou house of Aaron, trust thou in the Lord; he is their helper and defender.

Ye who fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord; he is their helper and de

fender.

The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great.

The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Ye are the blessed of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

All the whole heavens are the Lord's; the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The dead praise not the Lord, neither they who go down into silence.

But we will praise the Lord, from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.

Now unto the King eternal, &c.

The Lord preserveth the simple; I was in misery, and he helped me.

Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the

The Twentieth Day. MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM 116.

I LOVE the Lord, because he heard the voice of

my prayer.

He hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The snares of death compassed me round about; and the pains of the grave took hold upon me.

I found trouble and heaviness; then I called upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

I believed and therefore will I speak; but I was sore troubled; I said in my haste, All men are false.

What shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?

I will pour out the cup of libation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people; right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Behold, O Lord, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto

the Lord, in the sight of all his people, in the courts of the Lord's house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.

PSALM 117.

O PRAISE the Lord, all ye people; praise him, all ye nations.

For his merciful kindness is great toward us; and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise the Lord.

Now unto the King eternal, &c.

Be honour and glory, &c.

PSALM 118.

O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious, and his mercy endureth for ever.

Let Israel now confess that his mercy endureth for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now confess that his mercy endureth for ever.

Yea, let those now who fear the Lord confess that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in trouble; and the Lord heard and delivered me,

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear what man doeth unto me.

It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes.

The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation.

The voice of joy and salvation is in the dwellings of the righteous; the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass.

The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

The Lord hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death.

Open me the gates of holiness, that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.

I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

The same stone which

and walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they who keep his testimonies, and seek him with their whole heart;

Who do no wickedness, but walk in his ways.

Thou hast charged that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.

O that my ways were so directed, that I might keep thy statutes!

So shall I not be confounded, while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy laws; o forsake me not utterly.

BETH.

WHEREWITHAL shall a young man cleanse his way? even by ruling himself after thy word.

With my whole heart have I sought thee; O let me not go wrong out of thy commandments.

Thy words have I hid within my heart, that I should not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord; O teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I been
