Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong: Who feedeth the hungry.

The Lord looseth men out of prison the Lord giveth sight to the blind.

The Lord helpeth them that are fallen: the Lord careth for the righteous.

The Lord careth for the strangers; He defendeth the fatherless and widow as for the way of the ungodly, He turneth it upside down.

The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore and throughout all generations.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

WEDNESDAY.

PSALM CXLI.

Domine, clamavi.

ORD, I call upon Thee, haste Thee unto me:

Lo

and consider my voice when I cry unto Thee. Let my prayer be set forth in Thy sight as the incense and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and keep the door of my lips.

O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing let me not be occupied in ungodly works with the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such things as please them.

Let the righteous rather smite me friendly: and reprove me.

But let not their precious balms break my head yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.

Let their judges be overthrown in stony places: that they may hear my words, for they are sweet. Our bones lie scattered before the pit like

as when one breaketh and heweth wood upon the earth.

But mine eyes look unto Thee, O Lord God: in Thee is my trust, O cast not out my soul.

Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me and from the traps of the wicked doers. Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together and let me ever escape them.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

THURSDAY.

PSALM LXII.

Nonne Deo?

Minu Cometh my salvation.

Y soul truly waiteth still upon God for of

He verily is my strength and my salvation: He is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.

How long will ye imagine mischief against every man ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

:

Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.

Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God for my hope is in Him.

He truly is my strength and my salvation : He is my defence, so that I shall not fall.

In God is my health, and my glory: the rock

of my might, and in God is my trust.

O put your trust in Him alway, ye people : pour out your hearts before Him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but vanity the children of men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.

O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto vanity if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same that power belongeth unto God;

And that Thou, Lord, art merciful for Thou rewardest every man according to his work.

:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

FRIDAY.

PSALM L.

Deus deorum.

THE Lord, even the most mighty God, hath

rising up of the sun, unto the going down thereof.

Out of Sion hath God appeared in perfect beauty.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence there shall go before Him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about Him.

He shall call the heaven from above and the earth, that He may judge His people.

Gather My saints together unto Me: those that have made a covenant with Me with sacrifice.

And the heaven shall declare His righteousness for God is Judge Himself.

Hear, O My people, and I will speak: I Myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee because of thy sacrifices or for thy burnt-offerings because they

were not alway before Me.

I will take no bullock out of thine house : nor he-goat out of thy folds.

For all the beasts of the forest are Mine : and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls upon the mountains : and the wild beasts of the field are in My sight.

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the whole world is Mine, and all that is therein.

Thinkest thou that I will eat bulls' flesh : and drink the blood of goats?

Offer unto God thanksgiving and pay thy vows unto the most Highest.

And call upon Me in the time of trouble : so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise Me.

But unto the ungodly said God: Why dost thou preach My laws, and takest My covenant in thy mouth;

Whereas thou hatest to be reformed and hast cast My words behind thee?

When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst unto him and hast been partaker with the adulterers.

Thou hast let thy mouth speak wickedness : and with thy tongue thou hast set forth deceit.

Thou satest, and spakest against thy brother : yea, and hast slandered thine own mother's son.

These things hast thou done, and I held My tongue, and thou thoughtest wickedly, that I am even such a one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set before thee the things that thou hast done.

O consider this, ye that forget God lest I pluck you away, and there be none to deliver

you.

Whoso offereth Me thanks and praise, he honoureth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation right will I show the salvation of God.

:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Lo

SATURDAY.

PSALM XC.

Domine, refugium.

ORD, Thou hast been our refuge from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made: Thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.

Thou turnest man to destruction: again Thou sayest, Come again, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday seeing that is past as a watch in the night.

As soon as Thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep and fade away suddenly like the grass.

In the morning it is green, and groweth up : but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.

For we consume away in Thy displeasure: and are afraid at Thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before Thee : and our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

For when Thou art angry all our days are gone we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years: yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

But who regardeth the power of Thy wrath :
