For there is the seate of iudgement euen the seate of the house of Dauid O pray for the peate of Ierusalem they shall prosper that loue thee Peace bee within thy walles and plentconsuesse within thy palaces For my brethren and companions sakes I will with thee prosperitie Yea because of the house of the Lord our God I wil seeke to doe thee good Ad te leuaui oculos meos Psal 123. VNto thee lift I vp mine eyes O thou that dwellest in the heauens Beholde euen as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistresse euen so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntill he haue mercie vpon vs. Haue mercie vpon vs O Lord haue mercie vpon vs for we are vtterly despised Our soule is filled with the scornefnll reproofe of the wealthy and with the dispitefulnesse of the proud Nisi quia Dominus Psal 124. IF the Lorde himselfe had not bene on our side now may Israel say if the Lorde himselfe had not bene on one side when men rose vp against vs. They had swallowed vs vp quicke when they were so wrathfully displeased at vs. Yea the waters had drowned vs and the streame had gone ouer our soule The deepe waters of the proude had gone euen ouer our soule But praised be the Lord which hath not giuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth Our soule is escaped euen as a bird out of the snare of the fouler the snare is broken and we are deliuered Our helpe standeth in the Name of the Lord which hath made heauen and earth Qui confidunt Psal 125. They that put their trust in the Lord shall be euen as the mount Sion which may not be remooued but standeth fast for euer The his stand about Hierusalem euen so standeth the Lord round about his people from this time foorth for euermore For the rod of the vngodly commeth not into the lot of the righteous least the righteous put their hand vnto wickednesse Doe well O Lord vnto those that be good and true of heart As for such as turne backe vnto their owne wickednesse the Lord shall lead them forth with the euill doers but peace shall be vpon Israel In conuertendo Psal 126. WHen the Lord turned againe the captiuitie of Sion Euening prayer then were we like vnto them that dsreame Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with ioy Then said they among the Heathen the Lord hath done great things for them Yea the Lorde hath done great things for vs alreadie whereof we reioyce Turne our captiuity O Lord as the riuers in the South They that sowe in teares shall reape in ioy He that now goeth on his way weeping and beareth forth good seede shall doubtlesse come againe with ioy and bring his sheaues with him Nisi Dominus Psal 127. Except the Lorde build the house their labour is but lost that build it Except the Lord keepe the city the watchman waketh but in baine It is but lost labour that yee haste to rise vp earely and so late take rest and eate the bread of carefulnesse for so hee giueth his beloued sleepe Loe children and the fruite of the wombe are an heritage and gift that commeth of the Lord. Like as the arrowes in the hand of the Giant euen so are the yong children Happie is the man that hath his quiuer full of them they shal not be ashamed when they speake with their enemies in the gate Beati omnes Psal 128. BLessed are all they that feare the Lord and walke in his wayes For thou shalt eate the labours of thine hands O well is thee and happie shalt thou be Thy wife shall be as the fruitfull vine vpon the walles of thine house Thy children like the Oliue branches round about thy table Loe thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord from out of Sion shall so blesse thee that thou shalt see Hierusalem in prosperitie all thy life long Yea that thou shalt see thy childrens children and peace vpon Israel Saepe expugnauerunt psal 129. MAny a time haue they fought against mee from my youth vp may Israel now say Yea many a time haue they vexed mee from my youth vp but they haue not preuailed against me The plowers plowed vpon my backe and made long furrowes But the righteous Lord hath hewen the snares of the vngodly in pieces Let them be confounded and turned backward as many as haue euill will at Sion Let them bee euen as the grasse growing vpon the house tops Which Withereth afore it be plucked vp Where of the mower filleth not his hand neither hee that bindeth vp the sheaues his bosome So that they Which goe by say not so much as the Lord prosper you We Wish you good lucke in the name of the Lord. De profundis Psal 130. OUt of the deep haue I called vnto thee O Lord Lord heare my voice Oh let thine eyes consider well the voice of my complaint If thou Lord wilt beeextreme to marke what is done amisse O Lord Who may abide it For there is mercie With thee theefore shalt thou be feared I looke for the Lord my soule doth waite for him in his word is my trust My soule fleeth vnto the Lord before the morning watch I say before the morning watch O Israel trust in the Lord for with the Lord there is mercie and with him is plenteous redemption And he shall redeeme Israel from all his sinnes Domine non est psal 131 LOrd I am not high minded I haue no proud lookes I doe note exercise my selfe in great matters which are too high for me But I refraine my soule and keepe it low like as a childe that is weaned from his mother yea my soule is euen as a weaned childe O Israel trust in the Lord from this time forth for euermore Memento Domine Psal 132. LOrde remember Dauid Morning prayer and all his trouble How he sware vnto the Lord and bowed a bowe vnto the Almightie God of Iacob I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house nor clime vp into my bed I will not suffer mine eyes to sleepe nor mine eye liddes to slumber neither the temples of my head to take any rest Untill I finde out a place for the temple of the Lord an habitation for the mightie God of Iacob Loe we heard of the same at Ephrata and found it in the wood We will goe into his tabenacle and follow on our knees before his foote stoole Arise O Lord into thy resting place thou and the arke of thy strength Let thy
