.

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.

The Twelfth Day.

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM LXIX.

SAVE me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

O God, thou knowest my offences; and my sins are not hid from thee.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed through me: let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

Yet I will address my prayer to thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Deliver me, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the grave shut her mouth upon me.

Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me from all mine enemies.

For I am poor and needy: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

The humble shall see, and be glad; and the hearts of them that fear God shall be revived.

For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his people.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

PSALM LXXI.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to shame.

Deliver me in thy goodness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

By thee have I been holden up ever since I was born.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. My praise shall be continually of thee.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
