So the nations shall fear the name of the | Lord: and all the kings | of the earth Thy | glory :

The Lord hath | built up | Zion: He hath caused His glory to ap- | pear.

He hath regarded the prayer | of the | destitute: ánd de- spised not | their de- | sire.

He hath looked down from the héight of His | sanctuary: from heaven did the Lord be- | hold the earth;

To hear the groaning | of the prisoner: to loose those that | are ap- | pointed to | death.

He weakened my strength

shortened my days.

in the way: Hé |

I said, O my God take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are through- | out all gener-ations..

Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of Thy | hands.

They shall perish, but Thóu | shalt en- | dure: they shall all wax old like a garment.

As a vésture | shalt Thou | change them: ánd | they shall be changed.

But Thou art the same: ánd Thy | years shall | have no end.

THE FOURTEENTH DAY.

Morning Prayer.

PSALM 103.

BLESS the Lord | O my soul: and all that is within

mé | bless His | holy name.

Bless the Lord | O my soul: ánd for- | get not | all His benefits;

Who forgiveth | all thy | sin: who héaleth | all | thine in- firmities;

Who redeemeth thy lifé | from de- | struction: who crowneth thee with lóving- | kindness and | tender | mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with | good | things: so that thy youth is re- | newed | like the | eagle's.

The Lord executeth ríghteous- | ness and judg. ment: fór | all that | are op- | pressed.

He made known His ways | unto | Moses: His wórks unto the children of | Israel.

The Lord is fúll of com- | passion and | mercy : longsúffering and of great | goodness.

He will not

His anger for

always | chide: neither will He | keep ever.

He hath not dealt with ús | after our | sins: nor rewarded ús ac- | cording to | our in- | iquities.

For as the heaven is hígh a- | bove the | earth: so gréat is His mercy toward | them that fear Him.

As far as the éast is | from the west so far hath He removed | our trans- | gressions | from us.

Like as a fáther | pitieth his children: so the Lórd | pitieth | them that | fear Him.

Fór He knoweth our | frame: Hé re- | membereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days | are as | grass as a flówer of the field so he | flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over ít | and it is gone: and the pláce there- | of shall | know it no more.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon | them that | fear Him and His ríghteousness | unto | children's | children.

Bless the Lord ye His ángels that ex- cel in | strength that do His commandments, hearkening únto the voice | of His | word.

:

Bless ye the Lord all ye His | hosts: ye mínisters of His that do His | pleasure.

Bless the Lord all His works, in all pláces of | His do- minion: bléss the | Lord | O my soul.

Evening Prayer.

PSALM 104.

BLESS the Lord | O my | soul: O Lord my God Thou art very great, Thou art | clothed with | honour and majesty ;

Who coverest Thyself with light as | with a | garment who stretchest out the | heavens | like a curtain;

Who layeth the beams of His chambers | in the | waters who maketh the clouds His chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the | wind.

He máketh the winds His

fláming fire His | minis- | ter.

messengers: the

He laid the foundations | of the earth: that it should not be re- | moved for | ever.

Thou coveredst it with the déep as

with a garment the waters | stood a- bove the mountains. At Thý re- | buke they | fled: at the voice of Thy | thunder they | hasted a- | way.

They go up by the mountains, they go down | by the valleys unto the pláce which | Thou hast | founded for them.

He sendeth the springs | into the | rivers: whích | run a- | mong the hills.

They give drink to every béast | of the | field: by

them do the fowls of heaven have their habitátion, which | sing a- | mong the | branches.

He watereth the hills | from a- | bove: the earth is sátisfied with the fruit of Thy | works.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and hérb for the service of | man: that he may bring fórth | food out of the earth;

And wine that maketh glád the | heart of | man : and bread that | strengtheneth | man's heart.

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sún | knoweth his going down.

Thou makest dárkness, and | it is | night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do | creep | forth.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God: the sun ariseth, they get them away together, and lay them | down | in their | dens.

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour: ún- til the even

ing.

O Lord how manifold are Thy works, in wisdom hast Thoú | made them | all: the earth is full | of Thyriches.

So is this great and | wide | sea: wherein are things creeping innúmerable both | small and great | beasts.

These wait all upon | Thee: that Thou mayest give them their | meat in | due | season.

That Thou gívest | them they gather: Thou openest Thine hand | they are filled with | good.

Thou hidest Thy fáce | they are troubled : Thou takest away their breath, they díe and re- | turn to their dust.

Thou sendest forth Thy spírit, they are cre- ated: and Thou re- | newest the | face of the earth.

The glory of the Lord shall en- | dure for | ever : the Lord shall re- | joice | in His works.

THE FIFTEENTH DAY.

Morning Prayer.

PSALM 106.

O GIVE thanks unto the Lórd, for He is gracious and His mercy en- - | dureth for ever.

Who can express the noble ácts of the Lord : ór shew forth | all His | praise?

Blessed are théy that alway keep | judgment: ánd | do | righteous- | ness.

Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that Thou béarest | unto Thy | people: O vísit | me with Thy sal- | vation;

That I may see the felícity of Thy | chosen and rejoice in the gladness of Thy people, ánd give | thanks with | Thine in- | heritance.

PSALM 107.

O GIVE thanks unto the Lórd, for | He is good : fór His mercy en- | dureth for ever.

Let the redeemed of the | Lord say | so: whom He hath redeemed fróm the hand | of the enemy;

And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west: fróm the north and | from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary | way they found no | city to dwell in.

Húngry and thirsty: théir | souls fainted in them.
