Day 10.-Morning Prayer.

PSALM 50. Deus deorum.

1 The Lord, even the most mighty God, hath spoken and called the world, from the rising up of the sun, unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Sion hath God appeared beauty.

in perfect

3 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.

4 He shall call the heaven from above and the earth, that he may judge his people.

5 Gather my saints together unto me: those that have made a covenant with me with sacrifice. 6 And the heaven shall declare his righteousness for God is Judge himself.

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

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

were not alway before me.

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

10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls upon the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight. 12 If I be hungry, I will not tell thee for the whole world is mine, and all that is therein.

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 Thou hast let thy mouth speak wickedness : and with thy tongue thou hast set forth deceit. 20 Thou satest, and spakest against thy brother: yea, and hast slandered thine own mother's son.

21 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.

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

23 Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, he honoureth me and to him that ordereth his conversation right will I shew the salvation of God.

PSALM 51. Miserere mei, Deus.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

2 Wash me throughly from my wickedness : and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged. 5 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness

sin hath my mother conceived me.

and in

6 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward

parts and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.

7 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Turn thy face from my sins and put out all my misdeeds.

10 Make me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence take not thy holy Spirit from me.

and

12 O give me the comfort of thy help again :

and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

13 Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked : and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

and my

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.

15 Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord and my mouth shall shew thy praise.

16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. 17 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

18 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion : build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.

PSALM 52. Quid gloriaris?

1 Why boastest thou thyself, thou tyrant that thou canst do mischief;

2 Whereas the goodness of God: endureth yet daily?

3 Thy tongue imagineth wickedness and with lies thou cuttest like a sharp razor.

4 Thou hast loved unrighteousness more than goodness and to talk of lies more than righteous

ness.

5 Thou hast loved to speak all words that may do hurt thou false tongue.

6 Therefore shall God destroy thee for ever: he shall take thee, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling, and root thee out of the land of the living.

7 The righteous also shall see this, and fear : and shall laugh him to scorn;

8 Lo, this is the man that took not God for his strength but trusted unto the multitude of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wicked

ness.

9 As for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: my trust is in the tender mercy of God for ever and ever.

10 I will always give thanks unto thee for that thou hast done and I will hope in thy Name, for thy saints like it well.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM 53. Dixit insipiens.

1 The foolish body hath said in his heart There is no God.

2 Corrupt are they, and become abominable in their wickedness; there is none that doeth good.

3 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any, that would understand, and seek after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is also none that doeth good, no not one.

5 Are not they without understanding that work wickedness: eating up my people as if they would eat bread? they have not called upon God.

6 They were afraid where no fear was for God hath broken the bones of him that besieged thee; thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

7 Oh, that the salvation were given unto Israel out of Sion: Oh, that the Lord would deliver his people out of captivity!

8 Then should Jacob rejoice: and Israel should be right glad.

PSALM 54. Deus, in nomine.

1 Save me, O God, for thy Name's sake and avenge me in thy strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God: and hearken unto the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.

4 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy Name, O Lord because it is so comfortable.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all my trouble and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
