PRaise the Lord Euening prayer O my soule O Lorde my God thou art become exceeding glorious thou art clothed with maiestie and honour Thou deckest thy selfe with light as it were with a garment and spreadest out the heauens like a curtaine Which layeth the beames of his chamber in the waters and maketh the cloudes his charet and walketh vpon the wings of the winde He maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flaming fire He layd the foundations of the earth that it neuer should mooue at any time Thou coueredst it with the deepe like as with a garment the waters stand in the hilles At thy rebuke they flee at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid They goe vp as high as the hilles and downe to the valleys beneath euen vnto the place which thou hast appointed for them Thou hast set them their boundes which they shall not passe neither turne againe to couer the earth He sendeth the springs into the riuers which runne among the hilles All beasts of the field drinke thereof and the wilde Asses quench their thirst Beside them shall the foules of the ayre haue their habitation and sing among the branches He watereth the hilles from aboue the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes He bringeth foorth grasse for the cattell and greene herbe for the seruice of men That he may bring foode out of the earth and wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oyle to make him a cherefull countenance and bread to strengthen mans heart The trees of the Lord also are full of sap euen the Cedars of Libanus which he hath planted Wherein the birdes make their nestes and the Firre trees are a dwelling for the Storke The high hilles are a refuge for the wilde Goates and so are the stonie rockes for the Conies Hee appointed the Moone for certaine seasons and the Sunne knoweth his going downe Thou makest darkenesse that it may be night wherein all the beasts of the forest doe mooue The Lions roaring after their pray doe seeke their meate at God The sunne ariseth and they get them away together and lay them downe in their dennes Man goeth foorth to his worke and to his labour vntill the euening O Lord how manifold are thy workes in wisedome hast thou made them all the earth is full of thy riches So is the great and wide sea also wherein are things creeping innumerable both small and great beasts There goe the ships and there is that Liuiathan whom thou hast made to take his passime therein These wayte all vpon thee that thou mayest giue them meate in due season When thou giuest it them they gather it and when thou openest thy hand they are filled with good When thou hidest thy face they are troubled When thou takest away their breath they die and are turned againe to their dust When thou lettest thy breath goe forth they shal be made and thou shalt renue the face of the earth The glorious Maiestie of the Lord shall endure foreuer the Lord shall reioyce in his workes The earth shall tremble at the looke of him if he doe but touch the hilles they shall smoke I will sing vnto the Lord as long as I liue I will praise my God while I haue my being And so shall my words please him my ioy shal be in the Lord. As for sinners they shall be consumed out of the earth and the vngodly shal come to an end praise thou the Lord O my soule praise the Lord. Confitemini Domino Psal 105. O Giue thankes vnto the Lord Morning prayer and call vpon his name tell the people what things he hath done O let your songs be of him and praise him and let your talking be of all his wonderous workes Reioyce in his holy Name let the heart of them reioyce that seek the Lord. Seeke the Lord his strength seeke his face euermore Remember the marueilous works that he hath done his wonders and the indgements of his mouth O ye seede of Abraham his seruant ye children of Iacob his chosen Hee is the Lorde our God his iudgements are in all the world He hath bene alway mindfull of his couenant and promise that he made to a thousand generations Euen the couenant that he made with Abraham and the other that he sware vnto Isahac And appointed the same vnto Iacob for a law and to Israel for an euerlasting testament Saying Vnto thee will I giue the land of Chanaan the lot of your inheritance When there were yet but a fewe of them and they strangers in the land What time as they went from one nation to another from one kingdome to another people He suffered no man to doe them wrong but reproued euen kings for their sakes Touch not mine anoynted doe my Prophets no harme Moreouer hee called for a dearth vpon the land and destroyed all the prouision of bread But hee had sent a man before them euen Ioseph which was solde to be a bond seruant Whose feete they hurt in the stockes the yron entred into his soule Until the time came that his cause was knowen the
vuto me We will goe into the house of the Lord. Our seete shall stand in thy gates O Hierusalem Hierusalem is builded as a citie that is at vnitie in it selfe For thither the tribes goe vp euen the tribes of the Lord to testifie vnto Israel to giue thankes vnto the Name of the Lord. 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
Priests be clothed with righteousnesse and let thy Saints sing with ioy fulnesse For thy seruant Dauids sake turne not away the presence of thine anoynted The Lord hath made a faithfull othe vnto Dauid and he shall not shrinke from it Of the fruite of thy body shall I set vpon thy seate If thy children will keepe my couenant and my testimonies that I shal learne them their children also shall sit vpon thy seate for euermore For the Lorde hath chosen Sion to bee an habitation for himselfe he hath longed for her This shall bee my rest for euer heere will I dwell for I haue a delight therein I will blesse her vitailes with increase and wil satisfie her poore with bread I will decke her Priests with healthy and her saints shall reioyce and sing There shal I make the horne of Dauid to florish I haue ordeined a lanterne for mine anointed As for his enemies I shall clothe them with shame but vpon himselfe shall his crowne florish Ecce quà m bonum Psal 133. BEhold how good and ioyful a thing it is brethren to dwell together in vnitie It is like the precious oyntment vpon the head that ranne downe vnto the beard euen vnto Aarons beard and went downe to the skirtes of his clothing Like as the dewe of Hermon which fell vpon the hill of Sion For three the Lord promised his blessing and life for cuermore Ecce nunc Psal 134. BEholde nowe praise the Lorde all yee seruants of the Lord Ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord euen in the courts of the house of our God Lift vp your hands in the sanctuarie and praise the Lord. The Lord that made heauen and earth giue thee blessing out of Sion Laudate nomen Psal 135. O Praise the Lord laud ye the Name of the Lord praise it O ye seruants of the Lord. Yee that stand in the house of the Lord in the courts of the house of our God O praise the Lord for the Lord is gracious O sing praises vnto his Name for it is louely For why the Lord hath chosen Iacob vnto himselfe and Israel for his owne prossession For I knowe that the Lorde is great and that our Lord is aboue all gods Whatsoeuer the Lord pleased that did he in heauen and in earth and in the sea and in all deepe places He bringeth forth the clouds from the endes of the world and sendeth foorth lightenings with the raine bringing the windes out of his treasures He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middest of thee O thou land of Egypt vpon Pharao and all his seruants He smote diuers nations and flew mightie kings Sehon king of the Amorites and Og the king of Basan and all the kingdomes of Chanaan And gaue their land to bee an heritage euen an heritage vnto Israel his people Thy Name O Lord endureth for euer doeth thy memoriall O Lord from one generation to another For the Lord wil auenge his people and be gracious vnto his seruants As for the images of the heathen they are but siluer and gold the worke of mens hands They haue mouthes and speake not eyes haue they but they see not They haue eares and yet thay heare not neither is there any breath in their mouthes They that make them are like vnto them and so are all they that put their trust in them Praise the Lorde yee house of Israel praise the Lorde yee house of Aaron Praise the Lorde ye house of Leui ye that feare the Lord praise the Lord. Praised be the Lorde out of Sion which dwelleth at Hierusalem Confitemini Psal 136. O Giue thankes vnto the Lord Euening prayer for he is gracious and his mercie endureth for euer O giue thankes vnto the God of all gods for his mercie endureth for euer O thanke the Lord of all lordes for his mercie endureth for euer Which onely doeth great woonders for his mercie endureth for euer Which by his excellent wisdome made the heauenens for his mercie endureth for euer Which laid out the earthy aboue the waters for his mercie endureth for euer Which hath made great lights for his mercie endureth for euer The sunne to rule the day for his mercie endureth for euer The moone and the starres to gouerne the night for his mercie endureth for euer Which sinote Egypt with their first borne for his mercie endureth for euer And brought out Israel from among them for his mercie endureth for euer With a mighty hand and a stretched out arme for his mercie endureth for euer Which diuided the redde Sea in two parts for his mercie endureth for euer And made Israel to goe through the middest of it for his mercie endureth for euer But as for Pharao and his hoste hee overthrewe them in the red sea for his mercie endureth for euer Which ledde his people through the wildernesse for his mercie endureth for euer Which sinote great Kings for his mercie endureth for euer Yea and slew mightie Kings for his mercie endureth for euer Sehon King of the Amorities for his mercie endureth for euer And Og the King of Basan for his mercie endureth for euer And gaue away their lande for an heritage for his mercie endureth for euer Euen for an heritage vnto Israel his seruant for his mercie endureth for euer Which remembred vs when wee were in trouble for his mercie endureth for euer And hath deliuered vs from our enemies for his mercie endureth for euer Which giucth foode to all flesh for his mercy endureth for euer O giue thankes vnto the God of heauen for his mercy endureth for euer O giue thankes vnto the Lord of lords for his mercie endureth for euer Super flumina Psal 137. By the waters of Babylon we sate downe and wept when we remembred thee O Sion As for our harpes we hanged them vp vpon the trees that are therein For they that ledde vs away captiue required of vs then a song and melodie in our heauinesse sing vs one of the songs of Sion How shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land If I forget thee O Hierusalem let my right hand forget her cunning If I do not remember thee let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth yea if I prferre not Hierusalem in my mirth Remember the children of Edom O Lorde in the day of Hierusalem how they said Downe with it downe with it euen to the ground O daughter of Babylon wasted with miserie yea happie shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast serued vs. Blessed shall he be that taketh thy children and throweth them against the stones Confitebor tibi Psal 138.
