LESSED be the Lord God of Israel: || for he hath visited and re deemed his | people;

2 And hath raised up a mighty salvation | for-us: || in the house of his servant | David;

3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets || which have been since the

world be |

gan;

4 That we should be saved the hands of all that | hate-us;

5 To perform the mercy promised to | our fore | fathers: || and to remember his | holy | Covenant;

6 To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather | Abraham || that | he would give | us;

:

7 That we being delivered out of the | hand-of our | enemies might | serve him without | fear;

8 In holiness and righteous | ness be | fore-him: || all the | days of our life.

9 And thou, Child, shall be called the Prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord | to prepare his ways;

10 To give knowledge of salvation | unto his people: || for the remission of their sins.

11 Through the tender mercy of our | God: || whereby the day-spring from on | high hath | visited

us;

12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of | death: || and to guide our feet | into the | way of peace.

50 that my ways were made so di | rect: || that | I might keep thy | statutes!

So shall I not | be con | founded: || while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7 I will thank thee with an unfeigned | heart: || when I shall have learned the | judgments of thy | righteousness. 8 I will keep thy | statutes: || O for | sake | me not | utterly.

5 The proud are robbed, they have | slept their | sleep: and all the men whose hands were | mighty | have found | nothing.

6 At thy rebuke, O and horse are | fallen. 7 Thou, even thou in thy sight when

art to-be | feared: | and who may stand thou art | angry?

PSALM 8.

LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in | all the world: || thou that hast set thy | glory a | bove the heavens!

2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because-of thine | enemies: || that thou mightest still the enemy, and | the avenger.

3 For I will consider thy heavens, even the works-of thy | fingers || the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.

4 What is man, that thou art | mindful | of-him : || and the son of man, that thou | visitest | him?

5 Thou madest him lower than the angels: || to crown | him with glory and worship.

6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the

works-of thy | hands: || and thou hast put all things in subjection | under his feet;

7 All sheep and | oxen: || yea, and the | beasts-of the | field;

8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea : || and whatsoever walketh | through the paths-of the seas.

9 O Lord our Governor : || how excellent is thy | Name in all the world!

Glory be to the Father, | &c.

RAISE the Lord, O my soul; while I live will I | praise the Lord: yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.

2 O, put not your trust in princes, nor in any | child of | man || for there is no | help in them.

3 For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth: || and then | all his | thoughts | perish. 4 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob | for his | help || and whose hope is in the | Lord his | God;

5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that | therein is: | who | keepeth his | promise for | ever;

6 Who helpeth them to right that | suffer | wrong: || who | feed eth the hungry.

7 The Lord looseth men | out of prison: || the Lord | giveth sight-to the blind.

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

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

10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for | ever | more and through out all generations. Glory be to the Father, | &c.
