Jerusalem, and there was no man to bury them.

PSALM 80. Qui regis Israel. HEAR, O thou Shepherd of

5 LORD, how long wilt thou be angry? shall thy jealousy burn like fire for ever?

6 Pour out thine indignation upon the heathen that have not known thee; and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name:

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.

80 remember not our old sins, but have mercy upon us, and that soon; for we are come to great misery.

9 Help us, O GOD of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: O deliver us, and be merciful unto our sins, for thy name's sake.

10 Wherefore do the heathen say, Where is now their GoD? 11 O let the vengeance of thy servants' blood that is shed, be openly showed upon the heathen, in our sight.

12 O let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power, preserve thou those that are appointed to die. 13 And for the blasphemy wherewith our neighbours have blasphemed thee, reward thou them, O LORD, seven-fold into their bosom.

14 So we that are thy people, and sheep of thy pasture, shall give thee thanks for ever, and will alway be showing forth thy praise from generation to generation.

2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses, stir up thy strength, and come and help us.

3 Turn us again, O GOD; show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

4 O LORD GOD of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?

5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears, and givest them plenteousness of tears to drink,

6 Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh us to scorn,

7 Turn us again, thou God of hosts; show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9 Thou madest room for it; and when it had taken root, it filled the land.

15 And the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest So strong for thyself.

16 It is burnt with fire, and cut down; and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy counte

nance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong for thine own self.

18 And so will not we go back from thee: O let us live, and we shall call upon thy name.

19 Turn us again, O LORD GOD of hosts; show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.

PSALM 81. Exultate Deo. SING we merrily unto God, our strength; make a cheerful noise unto the GoD of Jacob. 2 Take the psalm, bring hither the tabret, the merry harp, with the lute.

3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and upon our solemn feast day.

4 For this was made a statute for Israel, and a law of the GOD of Jacob.

5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he came out of the land of Egypt, and had heard a strange language.

6 I eased his shoulder from the burden, and his hands were delivered from making the pots.

7 Thou calledst upon me in troubles, and I delivered thee,

8 I proved thee also at the waters of strife.

9 Hear, O my people; and I will assure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me.

10 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any other god.

11 I am the LORD thy GOD, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.

12 But my people would not hear my voice; and Israel would not obey me :

13 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lusts, and let them follow their own imaginations.

14 O that my people would have hearkened unto me; for if Israel had walked in my ways,

15 I should soon have put down their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversa ries.

16 The haters of the LORD should have been found liars; but their time should have endured for ever.

17 He should have fed them also with the finest wheat flour; and with honey out of the stony rock should I have satis fied thee.

EVENING PRAYER. PSALM 82. Deus stetit. GOD standeth in the congregation of princes; he is a Judge among gods.

2 How long will ye give wrong judgment, and accept the persons of the ungodly?

3 Defend the poor and father

less; see that such as are in need and necessity have right. 4 Deliver the outcast and poor; save them from the hand of the ungodly.

9 But do thou to them as unto the Midianites ; unto Sisera, and unto Jabin at the brook of Kison ;

10 Who perished at Endor,

earth,

course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and ye are all the children of the Most Highest ;

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O GOD, and judge thou the earth; for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.

PSALM 83. Deus, quis similis ? HOLD not thy tongue, O GOD, keep not still silence: refrain not thyself, O GOD;

2 For lo, thine enemies make a murmuring; and they that hate thee have lift up their head.

3 They have imagined craftily against thy people, and taken counsel against thy secret ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us root them out, that they be no more a people, and that | the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have cast their heads together with one consent, and are confederate against thee;

6 The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ishmaelites; the Moabites, and Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines, with them that dwell at Tyre.

8 Assur also is joined with them, and have holpen the children of Lot.

11 Make them and their princes like Oreb and Zeb, yea, make all their princes like as Zeba and Salmana;

12 Who say, Let us take to ourselves the houses of GOD in possession,

13 O my GoD,"make them like unto a wheel, and as the stubble before the wind.

14 Like as the fire that burneth up the wood, and as the flame that consumeth the mountains.

15 Persecute them even so with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm,

16 Make their faces ashamed, O LORD, that they may seek thy

name.

17 Let them be confounded and vexed ever more and more; let them be put to shame, and perish.

18 And they shall know that thou, whose name is JEHOVAH, art only the Most Highest over all the earth.

PSALM 84. Quam dilecta! O HOW amiable are thy dwellings, thou LORD of hosts! 2 My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living Gon.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young; even thy altars,

O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be alway praising thee.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are thy ways.

6 Who, going through the vale of misery, use it for a well; and the pools are filled with

water.

7 They will go from strength to strength, and unto the GOD of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.

8 O LORD GOD of hosts, hear my prayer; hearken, O GOD of Jacob:

9 Behold, O GOD, our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For one day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

11 I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my GoD, than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

12 For the LORD GOD is a light and defence; the LORD will give grace and worship; and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

13 O LORD GoD of hosts, blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.

thyself from thy wrathful indignation.

4 Turn us then, O GOD our Saviour, and let thine anger cease from us.

5 Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever? and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?

6 Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

8 I will hearken what the LORD GOD will say concerning me; for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again. 9 For his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth are met together righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth shall flourish out of the earth, and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Yea, the LORD shall show loving kindness; and our land shall give her increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before him; and he shall direct his going in the way.

THE SEVENTEENTH DAY.

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM 86. Inclina, Domine. BOW down thine ear, O LORD, and hear me; for I am poor, and in misery.

2 Preserve thou my soul; for I am holy my GoD, save thy servant that putteth his trust in thee.
