Sixth Sunday Morning Psa. 9. I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. When mine enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou satest in the throne judging right. Thou hast rebuked the heathen, Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast put out their name forever and ever. The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate forever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, Their very memorial is perished. But the Lord shall endure for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; And he shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble; And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. When he maketh inquisition for Have mercy upon me, O Lord; Consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death; That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord hath made himself known, he hath executed judg ment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into Even all the nations that forget For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish forever. Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: Let the heathen be judged in thy sight. Put them in fear, O Lord: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Evening Psa. 2. Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel to gether, Seventh Sunday Morning Psa. 121; 122. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: From whence shall my help come? My help cometh from the Lord, Which made heaven and earth. Against the Lord, and against He will not suffer thy foot to be his anointed, saying, Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure: Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Serve the Lord with fear, Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand Within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded As a city that is compact together; Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, Unto the testimony of Israel, For there are set thrones for judg ment, The thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: Peace be within thy walls, I will now say, Peace be within In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, Which by night stand in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, For the sake of the house of Je- And bless ye the Lord. hovah our God I will seek thy good. Evening Psa. 4; 134. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Have mercy upon me, and hear O ye sons of men, how long will ye But know that the Lord hath set The Lord will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteous ness, And put your trust in the Lord. Many there be that say, Who will show us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased. The Lord bless thee out of Zion; Even he that made heaven and earth. Eighth Sunday Psa. 7. O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me, Lest they tear my soul like a lion, O Lord my God, if I have done this; If I have rewarded evil unto him (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary); Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay mine honor in the dust. Arise, O Lord, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine enemies, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment. And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high. The Lord shall judge the people: Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the just: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts. My defense is of God, Which saveth the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day. If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready; He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordaineth his arrows against the persécutors. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate. I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of The Lord Most High. Evening Psa. 6. O Lord, rebuke me not in thine. anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones My soul also is sore vexed: Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: Save me for thy mercies' sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In the grave who shall give thee thanks? I am weary with my groaning; All the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord hath heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer. All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. Ninth Sunday Psa. 20; 21. I-7, 13. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice; Grant thee thy heart's desire, The Lord fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; He will hear him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen; But we are risen, and stand upright. Save, Lord: Let the King hear us when we call. The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness: For the king trusteth in the And through the mercy of the Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thine own strength: So we will sing and praise thy power. Evening Psa. 24. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the Who shall ascend into the hill of the And who shall stand in his holy He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from Thou settest a crown of pure gold the Lord, on his head. He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, Even length of days forever and ever. His glory is great in thy salvation: Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. For thou hast made him most blessed forever: And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, That seek thy face, O Jacob. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And the King of glory shall come in. Thou hast made him glad with joy The Lord strong and mighty, in thy presence. The Lord mighty in battle. |
