PSALM 14. Dixit incipiens. THE fool hath said | in · his | heart || There [: is no God. •= in 2 They are corrupt and become abominable their doings || there is none that | doeth good, no not one. the 3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon children of men | to see if there were any that would under--stand, and | seek af--ter | God. 4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether be--come a-|-bominable there is none. that doeth good, | no · not | one. 5 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues have they de--ceived the poison of | is | under their lips. asps 6 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness their | feet are | swift to shed | blood. 7 Destruction and unhappiness is in their ways and the way of peace have they not | known || there is no fear of God be--fore their eyes. 8 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief || eating up my people as i were bread, and call not up-|-on the Lord? 9 There were they brought in great fear, ever. where no fear was || for God is in the gene-|-ration of the righteous. 10 As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor || because he putteth his trust | in the Lord. 11 Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turneth the captivity | of: his people then shall Jacob rejoice, and | Is--rael | shall vegla. DAY} MORNING PRAYER. PSALM 15. Domine quis habitabit? LORD, who shall dwell in thy | tabernacle || or who shall rest up-|-on thy | ho--ly | hill? 2 Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt | life || and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his =| heart. . 3 He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil to his neighbor || and | hath not | slandered his neighbor. 4 He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes || and maketh much of | them · that fear the Lord. 5 He that sweareth unto his neighbor, and disap-| vointeth him not || though it | were to his own hinderance. 6 He that hath not given his money | upon | usury nor taken re-|-ward a-|-gainst the innocent. 7 Whoso doeth these | things || shall |==! ne--ver | fall. PSALM 16. Conserva me, Domine. | PRESERVE me, O God || for in thee have 2 O my soul, thou hast said un--to the | Lord || Thou art my God; my goods are | nothing · un-|-to thee. 3 All my delight is upon the saints that are | in · the earth and upon such as ex-|-cel · in | virtue. I 4 But they that run after an-|-0--ther | god || shall | have great =| trouble. = 5 Their drink offerings of blood will | I not | offer || neither make mention of their | names with-\-in my | lips. 6 The Lord himself is the portion of mine inheri tance, and of my | cup || thou | shalt · main-|-tain · my lot. 7 The lot is fallen unto me in a · fair | ground || yea, I have a good--ly | heritage. 8 I will thank the Lord for giving• me | warning || my reins also chasten me | in the night season. 9 I have set God | always be--fore me || for he is on my right hand, therefore I shall not fall. 10 Wherefore my heart was glad, and my | glory · re--joiced my flesh also shall rest in hope. 11 For why? thou shalt not leave my soul in hell neither shalt thou suffer thy | Holy One · to see cor--ruption. 12 Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy || and at thy right hand there is pleasure for | e--ver--more. PSALM 17. Exaudi, Domine. HE EAR the right, O Lord, consider | my com-| plaint and hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feign--ed | lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth | from thy | presence and let thine eyes look up-|-on the | thing that is equal. 3 Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the aight-season; thou hast tried me and shalt find no | mm wicked--ness in me | for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not of--fend. 4 Because of men's works that are done against the words of thy | lips || I have kept me from the | ways of the des-\-troyer. 5 O hold thou up my goings in thy | paths || that my foot--steps slip not. 6 I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me incline thine ear to me, and | hearken · unto my words. 7 Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their | trust · in | thee || from such as re--sist thy | right =| hand. 8 Keep me as the apple of an | eye || hide me under the sha--dow | of thy | wings, 9 From the un--godly that trouble me || mine enemies compass me round about to take · a-| way my soul. 10 They are enclosed in their own | fat || and | their mouth speak--eth | proud things. 11 They lie waiting in our way on | eve--ry | side ||| turning their eyes down | to the ground. 12 Like a lion that is greedy of his prey || and as it were a lion's whelp | lurking in se--cret | places. 13 Up, Lord, disappoint him, and cast him down deliver my soul from the ungodly, which is a sword of thine. 14 From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I say, and from the e--vil | world || which have 1 their portion in this life, whose bellies thou | fillest • with thy hid treasure. 15 They have children at their · de-\-sire ||` and leave the rest of their | sub--stance | for their | babes. 16 But as for me, I will behold thy | presence in | righteousness and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be | satis--fied | with it.

Diligam te, Domine WILL love thee, O Lord, my strength; the Lord my stony rock, and | my de-l-fence || my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust; my buckler, the horn also of my sal-l-va--tion, | and · my | refuge. 2 I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy | to be praised so shall I be safe | from mine | enemies. 3 The sorrows of death | compas--sed | me || and the overflowings of un-|-god--liness | made me a-| fraid. 4 The pains of hell | came· a-|-bout me || the snares of death = o--ver--took me. 5 In my trouble. I will call up--on · the | Lord || and com--plain un--to my God. 6 So shall he hear my voice out of his holy | temple and my complaint shall come before him, it shall enter even in--to his ears. 7 The earth trembled and quaked || the very foundations also of the hills shook, and were removed, be-l-cause he was wroth. 8 There went a smoke out | in his | presence | and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that | coals · were kin--dled | at it. |
