Deuout psalmes and colletes gathered and set in suche order, as may be vsed for dayly meditacions.

On the mundaye .

The fyrst psalme . Beatus vir qui non abiit .

BLessed is that man , that hath not walked in the counsayl of the vngodly , nor stande in the way of sinners , and hath not sit in the seate of the scorneful .

But his delyte is in the lawe of the Lord : and in his lawe wyl he exercise him selfe day and night .

And he shal be like a tree planted by the water syde , that wyl bryng furth his fruit in due season

His leafe also shal not wither , & loke whatsoeuer he doeth , it shal prosper .

As for the vngodly , it is not so with them : but they are like the chaffe which the wynd scattereth away ( from the face of the yearth . )

Therfore the vngodly shal not be able to stand in the iudgement , neither the synners in the congregacion of the righteous .

But the lord knoweth the way of the righteous , and the way of the vngodly shal perishe .

The second . Verba mea auribus . Psal. v.

POnder my wordes , o Lord , considre my meditacion .

O herken thou vnto the voyce of my callyng , my kyng and my God , for vnto the wyll I make my praier .

My voyce shalt thou heare by tymes , o Lord , early in the mornyng wyl I direct my praier vnto the , and wyll loke vp .

For thou art the God that hath no pleasure in wickednes , neither shal any euil dwel with the.

Suche as be folishe , shall not stand in thy sight , for thou hatest al them that worke vanitie .

Thou shalt destroye them that speake lesyng : the Lord wyll abhorre both the bloudthyrsty , and deceitful man .

But as for me , I wyl come into thy house , euen vpon the multitude of thy mercy , & in thy feare wyll I worship towarde thy holy temple .

Leade me , o Lord , in thy rightwysenes , because of myne enemies : make thy way playne before my face .

For there is no faythfulnes in his mouth : theyr inwarde partes are very wickednes .

Their throte is an open sepulchre : thei flatter with theyr tong .

Destroy thou them O God , let them perishe thorowe their owne ymaginacions , cast them out in the multitude of theyr vngodlynesse : for they haue rebelled against the.

And let all them that put theyr trust in the , reioyce : thei shal euer be geuyng of thankes , because thou defendest them : thei that loue thy name shal be ioyful in the.

For thou Lorde wylte geue thy blissyng vnto the righteous : and with thy fauourable kyndnesse wylt thou defende him , as with a shilde .

¶ The third . Domine ne . Psal. vi .

O Lord , rebuke me not in thine indignacion : neither chasten me in thy displeasure .

Haue mercy vpon me , O lord , for I am weake : O lord heale me , for my bones are vexed .

My soule also is sore troubled : but lord how long wilte thou punishe me ?

Turne the , O lord , and deliuer my soule : Oh , saue me for thy mercies sake .

For in death no man remembreth the : and who wyll geue the thankes in the pit ?

I am weary of my gronyng , euery night washe I my bed , and water my couche with my teares

My beautie is gone for very trouble , & worne away because of all myne enemies .

Away fro me all ye that worke vanitie : for the lorde hath hearde the voyce of my wepyng .

The lord hath heard my peticion , the lord wyl receiue my praier

All myne enemies shal be confounded & sore vexed , they shal be turned backe and putte to shame sodenly .

¶ The fourth . Domine dominus noster . psal. viii .

O Lorde oure gouernour , how excellent is thi name in all the world , thou that hast set thy glory aboue the heauens ?

Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklinges hast thou ordained strength , because of thine enemies , that thou mightest styll the enemye and the auenger .

For I wyl considre thy heauens , euen the workes of thy fyngers : the Moone & the starres whiche thou hast ordayned .

What is manne that thou art myndefull of him ? and the sonne of man that thou visitest him ?

Thou madest him lower then the Aungels , to croune him with glory and worship .

Thou makest him to haue dominion of the workes of thy handes : & thou hast put all thynges in subiection vnder his feete .

Al shepe and oxen , yea , and the beastes of the felde .

The foules of the ayre , & the fyshe of the sea , and whatsoeuer walketh thorowe the pathes of the seas .

O lord oure gouernour , howe excellent is thy name in all the worlde .

Let vs pray .

ALmighty God the father of mercy , and God of all comforte , the whiche onely forgeuest synne , forgeue vnto vs our synnes good lorde , forgeue vnto vs our sinnes , that by the multitude of thy mercy , thei may be couered and not imputed vnto vs , and by the operacion of the holy ghost , we may haue power and strength hereafter to resist synne : by oure sauiour & lord Iesu Christ . Amen .

¶ The Letany . The lordes praier , The twelue articles of our beliefe . The ten commaundementes . The places concernyng Baptisme . The places concernyng the supper of the lord .

Let vs pray .

O Almighty God and mercyful Lord whiche geuest . &c.

On the tuysday .

The fyrst . Saluum me fac . psal. xii .

HElpe ( me ) lord , for ther is not one godly man lefte .

For the faythfull are minished from among the children of men .

They talke of vanitie , euerye one with his neighbour : they do but flatter with theyr lippes , & dissemble in theyr double heart .

The Lord shall rote out all deceiptful lippes , and the tong that speaketh proude thynges .

Whiche haue sayd : with oure tongue wyll we preuayle : we are they that ought to speake , who is lord ouer vs ?

Now for the comfortlesse troubles sake of the neady , & because of the depe sighyng of the poore ,

I wyl vp ( sayth the lord ) & wyll helpe euery one , from him that swelleth against him , and wyl set them at rest .

The wordes of the Lorde are pure wordes euen as the syluer , whiche from yearth is tried and purified seuen tymes in the fyre .

Thou shalt kepe them ( O lord ) thou shalte preserue him from this generacion for euer .

The vngodly walke on euery side : when they are exalted , the children of men are put to rebuke .

The second . Dixit insipiens . psal. xiiii .

THe fole hath sayd in his heart there is no God .

They are corrupt , and become abhominable in their doynges , there is not one that doth good ( no not one . )

The lord loked doune from heauen vpon the children of men , to see if there were any that would vnderstand & seke after God .

But they are al gone out of the way , they are al together become abhominable : there is none that doth good , no not one .

Their throte is an open sepulchre : with their tonges thei haue disceiued , the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes .

Their mouth is ful of cursyng & bitternes : theyr feete are swifte to shed bloud .

Destruction and vnhappynes is in their waies , and the way of peace haue they not knowen , there is no feare of God before their eyes .

Haue they no knowledge that they al are suche workers of mischief , eatyng vp my people as it were bread , & cal not vpon the lord .

There were they brought in great feare ( euen where no feare was ) for God is in the generacion of the righteous .

As for you , ye haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore , because he putteth his trust in the lord .

Who shal geue saluacion vnto Israel , out of Syon ?

When the lord turneth the captiuitie of his people , then shal Iacob reioyce , & Israel shal be glad .

The third . Domine quis habitabit . psal. xv

LOrde who shall dwel in thy tabernacle ? who shall rest vpon thy holy hyl ?

Euen he that leadeth an vncorrupt life , and doeth the thyng whiche is right , and speaketh the truth from his heart .

He that hath vsed no disceipte in his tong , nor done euil to his neighboure , and hath not slaundred his neighbours .

He that setteth not by him self : but is lowly in his owne eyes , & maketh muche of them that feare the Lord .

He that sweareth vnto his neighbour and disapointeth him not , though it were to his owne hynderaunce .

He that hath not geuen his money vpon vsury , nor taken reward against the innocent .

Who so doeth these thynges , shal neuer fal .

The fowerth . Deus deus meus . psal. xxii .

MY God , my God : ( loke vpon me ) why hast thou forsaken me : and art so farre fro my helth , and from the wordes of my complaint ?

O my God , I crie in the day tyme , but thou hearest not : & in the night season also , I take no rest

And thou continuest holye , O thou worship of Israel .

Our fathers hoped in the , they trusted in the , and thou diddest deliuer them .

They called vpon the , and wer helped : they put theyr trust in the and were not confounded .

But as for me I am a worme and no man : a very scorne of men , and the outcast of the people .

All they that see me , laugh me to scorne : they shote out theyr lippes and shake their head saiyng : He trusted in God that he would deliuer him : let him deliuer him if he wyl haue him .

But thou arte he that toke me out of my mothers wombe : thou wast my hope when I hanged yet vpon my mothers breastes .

I haue bene left vnto the euer syns I was borne : thou arte my God euen from my mothers wombe .

O go not fro me , for trouble is harde at hand , and there is none to helpe me .

Many oxen are come about me fatte bulles of Basan close me in on euery syde .

They gape vpon me with their mouthes as it were a rampyng and roryng Lyon .

I am poured out like water , & all my bones are out of ioynte : my heart also in the middest of my bodye , is euen like meltyng waxe .

My strength is dryed vp lyke a potsherde , and my tong cleueth to my gummes : and thou shalte bryng me into the dust of death .

For ( many ) dogges are come about me , and the counsayle of the wicked lay siege against me .

They pearsed my handes , and my feete , I may tel al my bones : they stande staryng and lokyng vpon me .

They parte my garmentes among them , and cast lottes vpon my vesture .

But be not thou farre from me O lord : thou art my succour , hast the to helpe me .

Deliuer my soule from the swearde , my dearelyng from the power of the dogge .

Saue me from the lyons mouth : thou hast heard me also from among the hornes of the vnicornes .

I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren : in the middest of the congregacion wyll I prayse the.

O prayse the lorde ye that feare him : magnifye him all ye of the seede of Iacob , and feare him all ye seede of Israel .

For he hath not dispysed nor abhorred the lowe estate of the poore : he hath not hyd his face from him , but when he called vnto him , he heard him .

My praise is of the in the great congregacion , my vowes wyll I perfourme in the sight of them that feare him .

The poore shal eate , & be satisfied : they that seke after the lorde shal prayse him , your heart shall liue for euer .

All the endes of the world shal remembre them selues , and be turned vnto the lord : and al the kinredes of the nacions shal worship before him .

For the kingdome is the Lordes , and he is the gouernour among the people .

Al suche as be fat vpon yearth , haue eaten & worshipped .

Al they that go doune into the dust , shall kneele before him , and no man hath quickened his owne soule .

My seede shall serue him : they shal be counted vnto the lord , for a generacion .

They shall come , and ( the heauens ) shal declare his righteousnesse , vnto a people that shal be borne , whom the lord hath made .

Let vs pray .

O Lord God whiche dispisest not a contrite heart , and forgettest the sinnes & wickednes of a sinner , in what houre soeuer he doth mourne and lament his old maner of liuyng : Graunt vnto vs O lorde now gathered to gether in thy name , true contricion of heart , that we may vehemently dispise our sinnefull life past , and wholely be conuerted vnto the , by our sauiour & lorde Iesus Christ . Amen .

The lordes praier . &c. as vpon monday .

On the wednisday .

The fyrst . Ad te domine leuaui . psal. xxv .

VNto the ( O lord ) wyll I lift vp my soule .

My God , I haue put my trust in the :

Oh let me not be confounded : neither let myne enemies triumph ouer me .

For all they that hope in the shall not be ashamed : but suche as transgresse without a cause , shal be put to confusion .

Shewe me thy wayes O lord , and teache me thy pathes .

Leade me furth in thy trueth , and learne me , for yn art the God of my saluacion : in the hath bene my hope al the day long .

Cal to remembraunce ( O lord ) thy tendre mercyes , and thy louyng kyndnesses , whiche haue bene euer of olde .

Oh remembre not the synnes and offences of my youthe , but according vnto thy mercy thinke thou vpon me ( O lorde ) for thy goodnes .

Gracious & righteous is the lorde , therfore wyll he teache sinners in the way .

Them that be meke shall he guide in iudgement , and suche as be gentle , them shal he learne his way .

All the pathes of the lorde are mercy and trueth , vnto suche as kepe his couenaunt and his testimonies .

For thy names sake O lord , be mercyful vnto my synne , for it is great .

What man is he that feareth the lord ? him shal he teache in the way that he shal chose .

His soule shall dwell at ease , & his seede shal inherite the lande .

The secrete of the Lorde is among them that feare him , and he wyl shewe them his couenaunt .

Myne eyes are euer lokyng vnto the lord , for he shal plucke my feete out of the net .

Turne the vnto me , and haue mercy vpon me : for I am desolate and in misery .

The sorowes of my heart are enlarged .

O bryng thou me out of my troubles .

Loke vpon myne aduersitie & misery , & forgeue me al my sinne .

Considre myne enemies howe many they are , and they beare a a tyrannous hate against me .

O kepe my soule , and deliuer me : let me not be confounded , for I haue put my trust in the.

Let perfectnes and righteous dealyng wayte vpon me , for my hope hath bene in the.

Deliuer Israel O God , out of al his troubles .

The second . Dominus illuminatio . psal. xxvii

THe lord is my light and my saluacion : whom then shal I feare ?

The lord is the strength of my life : of whom then shall I be afrayde ?

When the wicked ( euen myne enemies & my fooes ) came vpon me , to eat vp my fleshe , they stumbled and fel.

Though an hoost of men were layd against me , yet shal not my heart be afrayde : & though there rose vppe warre agaynst me , yet wyl I put my trust in him .

One thyng haue I desired of the lord , whiche I wyll require : euen that I may dwel in the house of the lord al the daies of my life to behold the fayre beauty of the lord : and to visit his temple .

For in the time of trouble he shal hide me in his tabernacle : yea in the secrete place of his dwellyng shal he hide me , and set me vp vpon a rocke of stone .

And now shall he lifte vppe my heade aboue mine enemies round about me .

Therfore wyll I offre in his dwellyng , an oblacion with great gladnes .

I wyl syng and speake prayses vnto the Lord .

Herken vnto my voice O lord , when I cry vnto the , haue mercy vpon me , and heare me .

My heart hath talked of the : Seke ye my face : thy face O lord wyl I seke .

O hyde not thou thy face fro me , nor cast thy seruaunt awaye in displeasure .

Thou hast bene my succoure , leaue me not , neither forsake me , O God of my saluacion .

When my father and mother forsake me , the lord taketh me vp .

Teache me thy way O lord , & leade me the right waye because of myne enemies .

Deliuer me not into the wyll of myne aduersaries , for ther are false wytnesses risen vp agaynst me , and suche as speake wrong .

I should vtterly haue fainted but that I beleue verely to se the goodnes of the lorde in the land of the liuyng .

O tary thou the lordes leysure , be strong , & he shal comfort thine heart , and put thou thy trust in the lord .

The third . In te domine speraui . psal. xxxi .

IN the lord , haue I put my trust : let me neuer be put to confusion : deliuer me in thy righteousnes .

Bowe doune thyne eare to me , make hast to deliuer me .

And be thou my strong rocke , & house of defence , that thou mayest saue me .

For thou art my strong rocke , & my castle .

Be thou also my guide , & leade me for thy names sake .

Drawe me out of the net that they haue layde priuely for me , for thou art my strength .

Into thy handes I commende my spirit : for thou hast redemed me , O lorde thou God of truth .

I haue hated them that hold of supersticious vanities , and my trust hath bene in the lorde .

I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercy : for thou hast considred my trouble , & hast knowen my soule in aduersities .

Thou hast not shut me vp into the hande of the enemye , but hast set my feete in a large rowme .

Haue mercy vpon me O lorde , for I am in trouble , & myne eye is consumed for very heuynes , euen my soule and my body .

For my life is waxen olde with heauynes , and my yeares with mournyng .

My strength fayleth me because of myne iniquitie , and my bones are consumed .

I became a reprofe among all myne enemies , but specially among my neighbours , and they of myne acquaintaunce were afrayde of me , and they that did se me without , conueied them selues fro me .

I am cleane forgotten , as a dead man out of mynde : I am become like a broken vessel .

For I haue heard the blasphemy of the multitude : and feare is on euery side whyle they conspire together against me , & take their counsail to take away my life .

But my hope hath bene in the , O lord , I haue sayd : thou art my God .

My tyme is in thy hande , deliuer me from the hand of myne enemies , and from them that persecute me .

Shewe thy seruaunt the light of thy countenaunce , and saue me for thy mercies sake .

Let me not be confounded , O lord , for I haue called vpon the : let the vngodly be put to confusion & be put to silence in the graue .

Let the liyng lippes be put to silence , whiche cruelly , disdaynefully , & spitefully speake agaynst the righteous .

O how plentiful is thy goodnes , whiche thou hast layd vp , for them that feare the ? and that thou hast prepared for them , that put theyr trust in the , euen before the sonnes of men ?

Thou shalt hyde then priuely by thyne owne presence from the prouokyng of all menne , thou shalt kepe them secretly in thy tabernacle , from the strife of tongues .

Thankes be to the Lorde : for he hath shewed me merueilous great kyndnes in a strong cytie .

And when I made hast , I sayd : I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes .

Neuertheles , thou heardest the voyce of my prayer when I cried vnto the.

O loue the lord , all ye his saintes , for the lorde preserueth them that are faythful , and plenteously rewardeth he the proude doer .

Be strong , and he shal stablishe your heart , all ye that put your trust in the lord .

The fowerth . Beati quorum . psal. xxxii .

BLessed is he , whose vnrighteousnes is forgeuen : and whose synne is couered .

Blessed is the man , vnto whom the lord imputeth no sinne , and in whose spirit there is no guile .

For while I helde my tongue , my bones consumed away thorow my dayly complainyng .

For thy hand is heuy vpon me day & night , and my moysture is like the drouth in summer .

I wyll knowledge my synne vnto the , & myne vnrighteousnes haue I not hid .

I sayd : I wyl confesse my synnes vnto the lord , & so thou forgauest the wickednes of my sinne . Sela.

For this shall euerye one that is godly , make his praier . vnto the in a tyme when thou mayest be found , but in the great water fluddes they shal not come nigh him .

Thou art a place to hide me in , thou shalt preserue me from trouble : thou shalt compasse me aboute with songes of deliueraunce . Sela

I wyll enfourme the , & teache the in the way wherin thou shalt goo : and I wyll guyde the with myne eye .

Be ye not like horse and Mule , whiche haue no vnderstandyng , whose mouthes must be holden with bitte and bridle , lest they fal vpon the.

Great plages remayne for the vngodly , but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord , mercye embraceth him on euery syde .

Be glad , O ye righteous , and reioyce in the lord : and be ioyful al ye that are true of heart .

Let vs pray .

O Mercifull father , by whose power and strength we may ouer come our enemies both bodily and ghostly : graunt vnto vs O Lorde that accordyng to oure promyse made in Baptisme we may ouercome the chief enemies of our soule , that is the desyres of the world , the pleasures of the fleshe , and the suggestions of the wicked spirite , and so after leade our liues in holynes and righteousnes , that we may serue the in spirit and in trueth , & that by our sauiour & lord Iesu Christ . Amen .

The letany . &c. As on monday .

O Almightye God & merciful lord whiche geuest . &c.

On the thursday .

The fyrst . Benedicam dominum . Psal. xxxiiii .

I Wyl alway geue thankes vnto the lorde , his prayse shall euer be in my mouth .

My soule shall make her bost in the lord , the humble shal heare therof , and be glad .

O praise the lord with me , and let vs magnifye his name together .

I sought the Lord , & he heard me : yea , he deliuered me out of al my feare .

They had an eye vnto him , & were lightened , & theyr faces wer not ashamed .

Lo , the poore crieth , & the lord heareth him , yea , and saueth him out of al his troubles .

The Angel of the lord tarieth round about them that feare him , and deliuereth them .

O taste & see how gracious the Lorde is , blessed is the man that trusteth in him .

O feare the lorde , ye that be his sainctes , for they that feare him lacke nothyng .

The lyons do lacke , and suffre hunger , but they whiche seke the Lorde , shall want no maner of thyng that is good .

Come ye children & herken vnto me , I wyl teache you the feare of the lord .

What man is he that lusteth to liue , and would fayne see good dayes ?

Kepe thy tong from euil , and thy lippes that they speake no guile .

Eschewe euil and do good , seke peace and insue it .

The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the righteous , and his eares are open vnto theyr praiers .

The countenaunce of the lorde is against them that do euil , to rote out the remembraunce of them from of the yearth .

The righteous crye , & the Lord heareth them : and deliuereth them out of al theyr troubles .

The lorde is nigh vnto them that are of a contrite heart , & wyl saue suche as be of an humble spirite .

Great are the troubles of the righteous , but the lord deliuereth him out of al.

He kepeth all his bones , so that not one of them is broken .

But misfortune shal slay the vngodly , & they that hate the righteous , shal be desolate .

The lorde deliuereth the soules of his seruauntes : & all they that put theyr trust in him shal not be destitute .

The second . Nolite emulare . psal. xxxvii .

FRet not thy selfe because of the vngodly : neither be thou enuious against the euil doers .

For they shal sone be cut doune like the grasse , & be withered euen as the grene herbe .

Put thou thy trust in the lord , and do good : dwel in the lande & verely thou shalt be fed .

Delite thou in the lorde , and he shall geue the thy heartes desyre .

Commit thy way vnto the lord , and put thy trust in him , and he shal bryng it to passe .

He shal make thy righteousnes as clere as the light , and thy iust dealyng as the noone day .

Holde the styl in the Lorde , and abyde pacientely vpon him : but grieue not thy selfe at him whose way doeth prospere against the man that doth after euil counsailes .

Leaue of from wrathe , and let go displeasure : fret not thy selfe , els shalt thou be moued to do euil .

Wicked doers shal be roted out and they that paciently abide the lord , those shal inherite the land .

Yet a lytle while , & the vngodly shal be cleane gone : thou shalte loke after his place , and he shal be away .

But the meke spirite shal possesse the yearth , and shal be refreshed in the multitude of peace .

The vngodly seketh counsail against the iust , and gnasheth vpon him with his teethe .

The Lorde shal laugh him to scorne , for he hath seene , that his day is commyng .

The vngodly haue drawen out the swearde , & haue bended theyr bowe , to cast doune the pore and neady , and to slaye suche as be of right conuersacion .

Theyr swearde shal go thorow theyr owne heart , and theyr bowe shal be broken .

A smal thing that the righteous hath , is better then great riches of the vngodly .

For the armes of the vngodly shal be broken , and the Lord vpholdeth the righteous .

The Lord knoweth the daies of the godly , and theyr enheritance shal endure for euer .

They shal not he confounded in the perilous tyme , & in the daies of derth , they shal haue ynough .

As for the vngodly , they shal perishe : and the enemyes of the Lord shall consume as the fat of lambes , yea , euen as the smoke shal they consume away .

The vngodly boroweth and payeth not againe , but the righteous is mercyful and liberal .

Suche as be blessed of God , shal possesse the land , & they that be cursed of him shal be roted out

The lord ordreth a good mans goyng , and maketh his way acceptable to him selfe .

Though he fal , he shal not be cast a way , for the lord vpholdeth him with his hand .

I haue bene yong , & nowe am old : & yet sawe I neuer the righteous forsaken , nor his sede beggyng theyr bread .

The righteous is euer merciful , and lendeth , and his seede is blessed .

Fle from euil , & do the thyng that is good : and dwel for euer .

For the lord loueth the thyng that is right , he forsaketh not his that be godly , but they are preserued for euermore .

The vnrighteous shal be punished : as for the seede of the vngodly , it shal be roted out .

The righteous shall enherite the lande , & dwel therin for euer .

The mouthe of the righteous is exercised in wisedome , and his tong wyll be talkyng of iudgement .

The lawe of his God is in his heart , and his goynges shall not slide .

The vngodly seeth the righteous , and seketh occasion to slaye him .

The lorde wyl not leaue him in his hande , nor condempne him when he is iudged .

Hope thou in the lord , and kepe his way , and he shal promote the that thou shalt possesse the land : when the vngodly shall perishe , thou shalt se it .

I my self haue sene the vngodly in great power , and florishyng like a grene bay tree .

I went by , & loe , he was gone : I sought him , but ( his place ) could no where be found .

Kepe innocency , and take heede vnto the thyng that is right , for that shall bryng a man peace at the last .

As for the transgressours they shall perishe together , & the ende of the vngodly is , they shal be roted out at the last .

But the saluacion of the righteous commeth of the lord , whiche is also theyr strength in the tyme of trouble .

And the Lord shal stand by them and saue them : he shal deliuer them from the vngodly , and shal saue them , because they put theyr trust in him .

¶ The third . Dixi custodiam vias . psal. xxxix .

I Sayd : I will take hede to my wayes , that I offende not in my tong .

I wil kepe my mouth ( as it wer with a bridle ) while the vngodly is in my sight .

I helde my tong , and spake nothyng .

I kept silence : yea , euen from good wordes , but it was payne and grefe to me .

My heart was hote within me and while I was thus musyng , the fyre kyndled : and ( at the last ) I spake with my tong .

Lord , let me know myne ende , & the numbre of my dayes : that I may be certified how long I haue to liue .

Beholde , thou hast made my daies as it were a spanne long , & myne age is euen as nothyng in respecte of the : and verely euery man liuyng is altogether vanitie . Sela.

For man walketh in a vayne shadowe , & disquieteth him selfe in vayne , he heapeth vp riches & cannot tel who shal gather them .

And nowe Lorde , what is my hope ? truely my hope is euen in the.

Deliuer me from all mine offences , and make me not a rebuke vnto the folishe .

I became dumme , and opened not my mouth , for it was thy doyng .

Take thy plage away fro me : I am euen consumed by the meanes of thy heuy hand .

When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for synne , thou makest his beauty to consume away , like as it were a moth frettyng a garment .

Euery man therfore is but vanitie . Sela.

Heare my praier , O lorde , and with thine eares considre my callyng : holde not thy peace at my teares .

For I am a straunger with the & a soiourner , as all my fathers were .

Oh spare me a lytle , that I may recouer my strength , before I go hence , and be no more sene .

¶ The fourth . Beatus qui intelligit . Psal. xli .

BLessed is he that considereth the poore ( and nedy ) the Lord shal deliuer him in the tyme of trouble .

The lord preserue him & kepe him aliue : that he may be blessed vpon yearth , & deliuer not thou him into the wyl of his enemies .

The lord comfort him , when he lyeth sicke vpon his bed : make thou al his bed in his sicknes .

I sayd , lord be mercyfull vnto me , heale my soule , for I haue sinned against the.

Myne enemyes speake euil of me : when shall he dye , and his name perishe ?

And if he come to se me , he speketh vanitie , and his heart conceiueth falshod within him selfe : and when he commeth furth , he telleth it .

All myne enemies whisper together against me : euen against me do they ymagine this euil .

Let the sentence of giltynes procede against him , and nowe that he lyeth , let him rise vp nomore .

Yea euen myne owne familiar frende whom I trusted ( whiche did also eate of my bread ) hath layde great wayte for me .

But be thou merciful vnto me ( O lord ) raise thou me vp again , and I shal rewarde them .

By this I knowe thou fauourest me , that myne enemye doeth not triumph against me .

And when I am in my helth : thou vpholdest me , and shalt set me before thy face for euer .

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel , worlde without ende . Amen and Amen .

Let vs pray .

O Almighty and euerlastyng God , whiche not onely geuest euery good and perfite gift , but also encreasest those gyftes that thou haste geuen , we moost humbly beseche the mercyfull God , to encrease in vs the gift of fayth , that we may truely beleue in the and in thy promises made vnto vs , and that neither by our negligence nor infirmitie of the fleshe , nor by greuousnes of temptacion , neither by the subtil craftes and assaultes of the deuill , we be driuen from fayth in the bloud of oure sauioure and lorde Iesu Christe . Amen .

The lordes prayer . &c. as afore .

On the Fridaye .

The fyrste . Miserere mei deus . psal. li.

HAue mercy vpon me ( O God ) after thy greate goodnes : according vnto the multitude of thy mercies , do away myne offences .

Wash me throwly fro my wiekednes , & clense me from my sin .

For I knowlege my faultes , & my sin is euer before me .

Agaynst the only haue I sinned and doen this euill in thy syghte : that thou myghtest be iustified in thy saying , and cleare when thou art iudged .

Behold , I was shapen in wyckydnes , and in sinne hath my mother conceyued me .

But lo thou requirest truth in the inward partes , & shalt make me to vnderstand wisdome secretly .

Thou shalt pourge me with Isope , and I shall be cleane : thou shalt washe me , and I shal be whyter then snowe .

Thou shalt make me heare ioye and gladnes , that the bones which thou hast broken , maye reioyce .

Turne thy face from my sinnes , and put out all my mysdedes .

Make me a cleane hert ( O god ) & renewe a right spirite within me .

Cast me not away from thy presence , and take not thy holy spirite from me .

O geue me the comfort of thy helpe agayne : & stablyshe me with thy fre sprete . Then shal I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked , and sinners shal be conuerted vnto the.

Delyuer me from bloud gyltynesse ( O God ) thou that art the God of my health , and my tonge shall singe of thy ryghteousnesse .

Thou shalt open my lippes , ( O Lord ) & my mouth shal shewe thy prayse .

For thou desyrest no sacrifice , els woulde I geue it the : but thou delytest not in burnt offerynge .

The sacrifyce of god is a troubled spirite , a broken and a contrite hert ( O God ) shalt thou not dispyse .

O be fauourable & gracious vnto Sion , buyld thou the walles of Ierusalem .

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousnesse with burnt offerynges and oblacions , then shall they offer younge bullockes vpon thyne aultare .

The second . Quid gloriaris . psalm . l.

WHy boasteste thou thy selfe , thou tirant , that thou canst do mischif ? Where as the goodnes of God endureth yet dayly .

Thy tong ymagineth wickednes , and with lyes thou curtest like a sharpe rasour .

Thou hast loued vngraciousnes more then goodnes : & to talke of lyes more then ryghteousnes . Sela.

Thou haste loued to speake all wordes that maye do hurte , O thou false tonge .

Therfore shall God destroye the for euer , he shall take the and plucke the out of thy dwelling , and roote the out of the lande of the liuing . Sela.

The righteous also shall see this , & feare : and shal laugh him to scorne .

Lo , this is that man that toke not God for his strength , but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches , & strengthed him selfe in hys wickednes .

As for me I am lyke a grene olyue tree in the house of God , my trust is in the tender mercy of god for euer and euer .

I wil alway geue thankes vnto the : for that thou hast done : & I will hope in thy name , for thy saynctes lyke it well .

¶ The third . Deus in nomine tuo . psal. liiii .

SAue me ( O God ) for thy names sake , and auenge me in thy strength .

Heare my prayer ( O God ) and herken vnto the wordes of my mouth .

For straungers are risen vp against me , and tirauntes ( which haue not God before their eyes ) seke after my soule . Sela.

Beholde God is my helper , the Lorde is with them that vpholde my soule .

He shall reward euel vnto mine enemies : destroy thou them in thy truthe .

An offrynge of a free herte will I geue the , and prayse thy name ( O Lord ) bicause it is confortable .

For he hath delyuered me out of all my trouble , and myne eye hath sene his desyre vpon mine enemies .

¶ The fourth . Exaudi deus . Psal. lv .

HEare my prayer ( O God ) and hyde not thy selfe fro my peticion .

Take hede vnto me , & heare me , howe I mourne in my prayer , and am vexed .

The enemye cryeth so , and the vngodly commeth on so fast : for they are mynded to doo me some myschefe , so maliciously are they set agaynste me .

My hert is disquieted within me , and the feare of death is fallen vpon me .

Fearfulnesse and trembling are come vpon me , & an horrible drede hath ouerwhelmed me .

And I sayde : O that I had winges like a doue , for then wold I flye away , & be at rest .

Lo , then would I get me away far of , and remaine in the wyldrenes . Sela.

I would make haste to escape , because of the stormy wynde and tempest .

Destroy their tonges o lord , and deuide them : for I haue spied vnrighteousnes & stryfe in the citie .

Day and nyght go they about within the walles therof : mischief also , and sorow are in the middest of it .

Wickednesse is therein , disceat , and gyle go not out of her stretes .

For it is not an open enemye that hath done me this dishonour : for then I coulde haue borne it : nether was it mine aduersary , that did magnifye hym selfe agaynste me : for them ( peraduenture ) I would haue hyd my selfe from hym .

But it was euen thou my companion , my gyde , and myne owne familier frende .

We toke swete counsayle together , and walked in the house of god , as frendes .

Let death come hastily vpon them and let them go doune quicke into hel , for wickednes is in their dwellynges , and among them .

As for me I wyl cal vnto god , and the lorde shall saue me .

In the euening and mornynge and at the none day wil I praye , ( and that instantlye ) and he shall heare my voyce .

It is he that deliuereth my soule in peace , from the battayl that was agaynst me : for there were many with me .

Ye euen god that endureth for euer , shall heare me : and brynge them downe . Sela.

For they wyl not turne nor feare god .

He layde his handes vpon suche as be at peace with hym , and he brake his couenaunte .

The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter , hauing war in hys harte : hys wordes were smother then oyle , and yet be they very sweardes .

O cast thy burthen vpon the Lord , & he shal norysh the : & not suffre the righteous to fall for euer .

And as for them , thou ( O god ) shalt brynge them into the pyt of destruccion .

The bludthurstie and dysceatfull men shall not lyue out halfe their dayes .

Neuertheles , my trust shal be in the ( O Lorde . )

Let vs pray .

GRaunte vnto vs O merciful god we most hartely beseche , the knowledge & true vnderstanding of thy worde , that al ignorance expelled , we may knowe what thy wyl and pleasure is in al thinges , and howe to do our duties , & truly to walke in our vocacion , & that also we maye expresse in oure lyuing those thynges that we doo knowe : that we be not only knowers of thy worde good lorde , but also be workes of the same : by our sauiour & Lorde Iesu Christe . Amen .

¶ The Letany . &c. As afore .

On satterday .

The fyrst . Eripe me de inimicis . psal. lix .

DElyuer me from myne enemyes ( O God ) defend me from them that ryse vp agaynste me .

O deliuer me from the wicked doers , & saue me from the bloude thursty men .

For lo , they lye waytyng for my soule , the mightye men are gathered together agaynst me without anye offence or faute of me ( O Lorde . )

They runne and prepare them selues , without my faute .

Aryse , thou therfore to help me , and beholde .

Stande vp ( O Lorde God of hoostes ) thou God of Israell , to viset al Heathen : and be not mercyfull vnto them that offende of malicious wickednes . Sela.

They go to & fro in the euening , they grenne lyke a dogge , & runne aboute thorowe the cytie .

Behold , they speake with theyr mouth , and sweardes are in theyr lyppes for who doth heare ?

But thou ( O Lorde ) shalt haue them in derysion , and thou shalte laugh all Heathen to scorne .

My strength wil I ascribe vnto the , for thou art the god of my refuge .

God sheweth me his goodnes plenteouslye , and god shall let me see my desyre vpon myne enemies .

Slaye them not , lest my people forget it : but scatter them abrode amonge thy people , and put them downe ( O Lorde ) our defence .

For the sinne of theyr mouth , and for the wordes of theyr lippes they shal be taken in their pryde , and why ? theyr preachinge is of cursynge and lyes .

Consume them in thy wrath , consume them that they maye peryshe , and knowe that it is God whych ruleth in Iacob , and vnto the endes of the worlde . Sela.

And in the euenyng they wyl returne : grenne like a dogge and wil go aboute the cytie .

They will runne here and there for meate , and grudge yf they be not satisfyed .

As for me , I wyll singe of thy power : and wyll prayse thy mercy be times in the morning , for thou haste bene my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble .

Vnto the , O my strength , wyl I syng , for thou ( O God ) art my refuge and my mercyfull god .

The second . Exau di deus depreca . Psal. lxi .

HEare my crying ( o god ) geue eare vnto my prayer .

From the endes of the earth wil I cal vnto the , when my hert is in heuines .

Oh sette me vp vpon the rocke that is hygher then I.

For thou hast bene my hope , and a stronge tower for me , agaynste the enemye .

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for euer , & my trust shal be vnder the coueryng of thy wynges . Sela.

For thou O Lord , hast heard my desires , & hast geuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy name .

Thou shalt graunt the king a long lyfe , that hys yeares may endure thoroweout al generacions .

He shall dwell before God , for euer : O prepare thy louing mercy & faythfulnes , that they may preserue him :

So wil I alway sing prayse to thy name , that I maye dayly perfourme my vowes .

The third . Nonne deo subiecta : psal. lxii .

MY soule trulye wayteth stil vpon God , for of him cometh my saluacion .

He verely is my strength & my saluacion : He is my defence so that I shal not greatly fal .

Howe long will ye ymagin mischife agaynst euerye man ? ye shal be slayne all the sorte of you : yea , as a totteryng wall shal ye be , and lyke a broken hedge .

Theyr deuice is only howe to put hym out , whom God will exalte : their delyght is in lyes : they geue good woordes wyth theyre mouthe , but curse with theyr hert . Sela.

Neuertheles , my soule wayt thou styll vpon god , for my hope is in hym .

He truely is my strength , & my saluacion : he is my defence so that I shall not fall .

In god is my helth and my glorye , the rocke of my might , and in God is my trust .

O put your trust in him alway ( ye people ) poure out youre hertes before hym , for God is our hope . Sela.

As for the chyldren of men , they are but vayne , the children of men are disceatful vpon the wayghtes they ar altogether lyghter than vanitie it selfe .

O trust not in wronge and robberye , geue not youre selues vnto vanitie : yf ryches increase , set not your hert vpon them .

God spake once and twyse : I-haue also heard the same : that power belongeth vnto god .

And that thou Lorde art mercyfull , for thou rewardeste euery man accordinge to hys worke .

¶ The fourth . Deus misereatur nostri . psal. lxvii .

GOd , be merciful vnto vs , and blesse vs , and shewe vs the lyght of of hys countenaunce : ( and be mercifull vnto vs ) . Sela.

That thy waye maye be knowen vpon earth , thy sauing helthe amonge all nacions .

Let the people prayse the O god : yea , let all the people prayse the

O let the nacyons reioyce and be glad : For thou shalt iudge the folke righteously , & gouerne the nacions vpon earth . Sela.

Let the people prayse the O god , let all thy people prayse the.

Then shal the earth bring forthe her encrease , & God euen our owne God shall geue vs his blessynge .

God shall blesse vs , and all the endes of the world shal feare hym .

¶ Let vs pray .

O Almightie god , whiche hast prepared euerlastyng lyfe to all those that be thy faythful seruauntes , graunt vnto vs Lorde sure hope of the life euerlasting , that we beyng in this miserable worlde may haue some taste , and feling of it in our hartes : and that not by our deseruing , but by the merites and deseruing of our sauiour , and Lord● , Iesu Christ . Amen .

¶ The Letany . &c. As afore .

On satterday at after noone .

The fyrst Voce mea ad dominum . psal. lxxvii .

I Wyll crye vnto God wyth my voyce , euen vnto God will I crye with my voyce : and he shall herken vnto me .

In the tyme of my trouble , I I sought the Lord : my sore ranne and ceassed not in the nyght season : my soule refused comforte .

When I am in heuinesse , I wil thynke vpon God , when my herte is vexed , and wil complayne . Sela .

Thou holdest mine eies waking : I am so feble , that I cannot speake .

I haue considered the dayes of olde , and the yeares that are past .

I call to remembraunce my songe : and in the nyght I commune with myne owne harte , and searche out my spirites

Wyll the lorde absent him selfe for euer ? And wil he be no more intreated .

Is hys mercy cleane gone for euer ? and is his promise come vtterly to an ende for euermore ?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious ? And will he shut vp hys louing kindnesse in displeasure ? Sela .

And I sayd : it is mine owne infyrmitie : But I wil remembre the yeres of the right hand of the most hyest .

I will remembre the workes of the Lorde , and call to minde thy wonders of olde tyme .

I will thinke also of all thy workes , and my talking shal be of thy doynges .

Thy waye , O God , is holie : who is so great a God as ( oure ) God ? Thou art the god that doth wondres , and hast declared thy power among people .

Thou hast mightely delyuered thy people , euen the sonnes of Iacob and Ioseph . Sela.

The waters sawe the , O god , the waters sawe the and were afrayed : the depthes also were troubled .

The cloudes powred out water , the ayre thundred : and thine arowes went abrode .

The voyce of thy thundre was herd round about , the lighteninges shone vpon the grounde , the earth was moued and shoke withall .

Thy waye is in the sea , and thy pathes in the great waters : & thy footesteppes are not knowen .

Thou lededst thy people lyke sheepe , by the hand of Moses and Aaron .

The second . Deus venerunt gentes psal. lxxix .

O God , the Heathen are come into thy enheritaunce , thy holy temple haue they defiled , and made Ierusalem an hepe of stones .

The dead bodies of thy seruauntes haue they gyuen to be meate vnto the foules of the ayre , and the fleshe of thy saynctes vnto the beastes of the lande .

Their bloud haue they shed like water on euery side of Ierusalem , & ther was no man to bury them .

We are become an open shame vnto our enemies , a very scorne & derision vnto them that are round about vs .

Lorde , howe longe wilt thou be angrye ? shall thy gelousye burne lyke fyre for euer ?

Poure out thyne indignacion vpon the Heathen that haue not knowen the , and vpon thy kyngdomes that haue not called vpon thy name .

For they haue deuoured Iacob , & layed waste his dwellyng place .

O remembre not our olde sinnes , but haue mercy vpon vs , and that soone : for we ar come to great myserie .

Helpe vs O God of our saluacion , for the glory of thy name .

O delyuer vs , and be mercyful vnto oure synnes , for thy names sake .

Wherfore do the Heathen saye : where is nowe theyr God ?

O let the vengeaunce of thy seruauntes bloude that is shed , be openly shewed vpon the Heathen , in our sight .

O let the sorowful syghynge of the prisonners come before the : accordyng vnto the greatnesse of thy power : preserue thou those the are appoynted to dye .

And as for the blasphemy ( wherewith oure neyghbours haue blasphemed the ) reward thou them O Lorde , seuen folde into theyr bosome .

So we that be thy people , and shepe of thy pasture , shal gyue the thankes for euer , and wyl alway be shewyng forth thy prayse , from generacion to generacion .

The third . Qui regis Israel . Psal. lxxx .

HEare O thou shepherd of Israel , thou that leadest Ioseph like a shepe shew thy selfe also thou that sittest vpon the Cherubins .

Before Ephraim , Beniamin , & Manasses : styre vp thy strength , and come helpe vs .

Turne vs agayne O god , shewe the light of thy countenaunce , and we shal be whole .

O Lord God of hoostes , howe longe wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth ?

Thou fedest them with the bread of teares , and giuest them plenteousnesse of teares to drinke .

Thou hast made vs a very strife vnto our neighbours : and oure enemies laugh vs to scorne .

Turne vs agayne , thou God of hoostes , shewe the light of thy countenaunce : and we shal be whole .

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egipt : thou hast cast out the Heathen , and planted it .

Thou madest rowme for it , and whan it had taken rote , it filled the lande .

The hylles were couered with the shadowe of it , & the boughes therof were like the goodly Cedre trees .

She stretched out her braunches vnto the sea , & her boughes vnto the ryuer .

Why hast thou then broken downe her hedge , that all they whiche go by , plucke of her grapes ?

The wild bore oute of the wood doth rote it vp , & the wilde beastes of the filde deuoureth it .

Turne the agayne , thou God of hoostes , loke downe from heauen : beholde , and visit thys vyne .

And the place of the vyneiarde that thy right hand hath planted : & the braunche that thou madest so stronge for thy selfe .

It is brent with fyre , and cut downe , & they shall peryshe at the rebuke of thy countenaunce .

Let thy hand be vpon the man of thy ryghte hande and vpon the sonne of man whom thou madest so stronge for thyne owne selfe .

And so wyll not we go backe from the : Oh , let vs lyue , and we shall call vpon thy name .

Turne vs agayne , O lord god of hoostes , shewe the lyght of thy countenaunce , & we shal be whole .

The forthe . Inclina domine aurem . psal. lxxxvi .

BOwe downe thine eare , o lorde , and heare me , for I am poore and in misery .

Preserue thou my soule , for I am holye : my God saue thy seruaunt , that putteth his trust in the.

Be mercifull vnto me ( o Lord ) for I will call dayly vpon the ,

Coumfort the soule of thy seruaunt , for vnto the ( o lorde ) doe I lyft vp my soule .

For thou Lord art good & gracious , and of great mercy vnto all them that call vpon the.

Geue eare Lord vnto my prayer , and ponder the voyces of my humble desyres .

In the tyme of my trouble I will call vpon the , for thou hearest me .

Among the goddes there is none lyke vnto the , ( O Lorde ) there is not one that can do as thou doest .

All nacions whom thou haste made , shall come and worshyp the ( O Lorde ) and shall gloryfie thy name .

For thou art greate and doeste wonderous thinges , thou art god alone .

Teache me thy waye ( O Lorde ) and I will walke in thy truth .

O knyt my hert vnto the , that it maye feare thy name .

I wyll thanke the , O Lorde my God with all my herte , and wyll prayse thy name for euer .

For greate is thy mercy towarde me , and thou haste delyuered my soule from the nethermost hell .

O god , the proude are rysen against me , and the congregacions of naughtie men haue sought after my soule , and haue not set the before theyr eyes .

But thou ( O Lorde god ) arte full of compassion , & mercy , longe sufferyng , plenteous in goodnes and truth .

O turne the then vnto me and haue mercy vpon me : geue thy strength vnto thy seruaunte , and helpe the sonne of thyne handemayde .

Shewe some token vpon me for good , that they which hate me , maye se it : & be ashamed , because thou Lorde hast helped me and comforted me .

Let vs pray .

O Mercifull God , oure only ayde , soccour , and strength at all tymes , graunt vnto vs , O-lord , that in the tyme of prosperitie , we be not proude , and so forget the , but that with our whole power & strength , we may cleaue vnto the : and in the time of aduersitie that we fall not to infidelitie , and desperacion , but that alwayes with a constante fayth we may cal for helpe vnto the : Graunte this O Lord for our aduocates sake , & sauioure Iesu Christe . Amen .

The Lordes prayer . &c. As afore .

On the Sunday .

The fyrst . Domine refugium . psal. xc .

LOrd , thou hast ben oure refuge from one generacion vnto another .

Before the mountaynes were brought forthe , or euer the earth and the worlde were made , thou art God from euerlastyng & worlde without ende .

Thou turnest man to destruccion agayne thou sayest : come agayne children of men .

For a thousande yeares in thy syght are but as yesterdaye , seyng that is paste as a watche in the night .

As sone as thou scaterest them , they are euen as a slepe , and fade awaye sodenlye lyke the grasse .

In the mornynge it is grene and groweth vp , but in the eueninge it is cutte downe ( dried vp ) and withered .

For we consume away in thy dyspleasure , and are afrayed at thy wrathfull indignacion .

Thou hast set our misdedes before the , and oure secret synnes in the lyght of thy countenaunce .

For when thou arte angry , all our dayes are gone : we bring our yeares to an ende , as it were a tale that is tolde .

The dayes of our age are thre score yeares and ten : and though men be so stronge that they come to foure scoure yeares , yet is their strength , then but laboure and sorowe : so soone passeth it awaye , & we are gone .

But who regardeth the power of thy wrath : for euen therafter as a man fareth , so is thy dyspleasure .

O teache vs to noumbre our dayes , that we maye applye our hertes vnto wysdome .

Tourne the agayne , ( O Lord ) at the last , and be gracious vnto thy seruauntes .

O satisfie vs with thy mercy & that soone , so shall we reioyce and be glad al the dayes of our lyfe .

Comforte vs agayne , nowe after the time that thou hast plaged vs , and for the yeares wherein we haue suffred aduersitie .

Shewe thy seruauntes thy worke , & theyr children thy glorie .

And the glorious maiestie of the lorde our god be vpon vs : prosper thou the worke of our handes vpon vs , o prosper thou our handy worke .

The second . Venite exultemus . psal. xcv .

O Come , let vs synge vnto the Lorde , let vs hertely reioyce in the strength of oure saluacion : let vs come before his presence with thankes geuing , and shewe our selfe glad in him with psalmes .

For the Lorde is a great kinge aboue all goddes .

In his hand are all the corners of the earth , and the strength of the hylles is hys also .

The sea is hys , and he made it , and his handes prepared the drye lande .

O come , let vs worshyppe and falle downe before the Lorde , our maker .

For he is ( the Lorde ) our God : and we are the people of hys pasture , and the shepe of his handes .

To day if ye wil heare his voyce , harden not your hartes : as in the prouocacion , and as in the daye of tentacion in the wildernes : when youre fathers tempted me , proued me : & sawe my workes .

Fourtie yeares long was I greued with the generacion , & sayde : it is a people that do erre in theyr hertes : for they haue not knowen my wayes .

Vnto whom I sware in my wrath , that they shoulde not enter into my rest .

¶ The third . Iubilate deo . psal. C.

O Be ioyfull in the Lorde ( all ye landes ) serue the Lorde with gladnesse : & come before hys presence with a song .

Be ye sure that the Lorde he is God : It is he that hath made vs , and not we our selues , we are hys people , & the shepe of his pasture .

O go youre waye into his gates with thankesgeuing , and into his courtes wyth prayse , be thankeful vnto hym , and speake good of hys name .

For the Lord is gracious , hys mercy is euerlastyng , & his truthe endureth from generacion to generacion .

The fowerth . Benedic anima mea . psal. ciii .

PRayse the lorde , O my soule , & al that is within me prayse hys holy name .

Prayse the Lorde , O my soule , and forget not all hys benefytes .

Whiche forgeueth al thy sinne , and healeth all thyne infyrmyties .

Whyche saueth thy lyfe from destruccion , and crowneth the with mercye and louynge kyndnesse .

Whiche satisfyeth thy mouth with good thynges , makyng the yonge and lustye as an Aegle .

The lorde executeth ryghteousnesse and iudgement , for all them that are oppressed with wronge .

He shewed his wayes vnto Moses , hys workes vnto the chyldren of Israel .

The lorde is full of compassion and mercy : long suffring , and of great goodnes .

He wil not alway be chiding , neyther kepeth he his anger for euer .

He hath not dealt wyth vs after our synnes , nor rewarded vs accordyng to our wickednesses .

For loke howe hye the heauen is in comparison of the earth , so greate is hys mercy also towarde them that feare him .

Loke howe wyde also the East is from the west , so farre hath he set oure synnes from vs .

Yea lyke as a father pytieth hys owne children , euen so is the lorde merciful vnto them that feare him .

For he knoweth wherof we be made , he remembreth that we are but dust .

The dayes of man are but as grasse , for he florisheth as a floure of the fielde .

For as sone as the winde goth ouer it , it is gone : and the place therof shall knowe it no more .

But the mercifull goodnesse of the lorde endureth for euer and euer , vpon them that feare hym , and hys ryghteousnes vpon childres children .

Euen vpon suche as kepe hys couenaunt , and thinke vpon hys commaundementes to do them .

The lorde hath prepared hys seate in heauen , and his kyngdom ruleth ouer all .

O prayse the lorde ye Angels of hys , ye that excell in strength : ye that fulfill hys commaundement , and herken vnto the voyce of hys wordes .

O prayse the Lord al ye his hostes , ye seruauntes of hys , that do hys pleasure .

O speake good of the lorde all ye workes of hys , in all places of hys dominyon : prayse thou the lorde , O my soule .

Let vs pray .

O Almyghtie & mercifull lorde whiche geuest vnto thy elect people the holy gooste , as a sure pledge of thy heauenly kyngdom : Graunte vnto vs o lorde , this holy spirite , that he may beare witnes with our spirite that we be thy children , and heyres of thy kyngdom , and that by the operacion of this spirite we may kyl all carnall lustes , vnlawfull pleasures , concupiscence euell affeccions contrary vnto thy wil : by our sauioure and lorde Iesu Christ . Amen .
