Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and ever.

Amen.

The Eleventh Day.

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM LXV.

PRAISE Waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh

come.

Iniquities are heavy upon me: but as for my transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: O satisfy us with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

By wonderful things in righteousness dost thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Who in thy strength settest fast the mountains; being girded with power:

Which stillest the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid

at thy tokens: thou makest the regions of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest us corn, when thou hast thus provided for it.

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

PSALM LXVI.

MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honor of his name; make his praise glorious.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; it shall celebrate thy name.

Come and see the works of God: he is wonderful in his doing toward the children of men.

He ruleth by his power forever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

I will go into thy house with offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away from my prayer, nor taken his mercy from me.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Amen.

The Eleventh Day.

EVENING PRAYER.

PSALM LXVII.

GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us.

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving power among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

PSALM LXVIII.

LET the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: let them exceedingly rejoice.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth through the wilderness: Jehovah is his name, rejoice before him.

A father of the fatherless, and a protector of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth to prosperity those that are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a barren land.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness;

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst strengthen thy people when they were weary.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.

Our God is the God of our salvation; and unto God the Lord belongs deliverance from death.

Ascribe ye strength unto God: his majesty is in Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.

O God, thou art wonderful in thy holy place: the God of Israel giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Amen.
