they that rise against me.
Many one there be that say of my soul: There is no help
for him in his God.
But thou, O Lord, art my defender: thou art my worship,
and the lifter up of my head.
I did call upon the Lord with my voice and he heard
me out of his holy hill.
I laid me down and slept, and rose up again: for the Lord
sustained me.
I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people: that
have set themselves against me round about.
Up, Lord, and help me, O my God: for thou smitest all
mine enemies upon the check-bone; thou hast broken the
teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: and thy blessing is
upon thy people. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 6 (4)
O Lord, rebuke me not in thine indignation; neither
chasten me in thy displeasure.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord
heal me, for my bones are vexed.
My soul also is sore troubled: but, Lord, how long wilt
thou punish me?
Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for
thy mercies’ sake.
For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will
give thee thanks in the pit?
I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed:
and water my couch with my tears.
My beauty is gone for very trouble: and worn away
because of all mine enemies.
Away from me, all ye that work vanity; for the Lord hath
heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receive
my prayer.
All mine enemies shall be confounded, and sore vexed:
they shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
Glory be, &c.
(c) Antiphon
Serve the Lord in fear, and rejoice unto Him with
reverence.
(d) Antiphon
God is a righteous judge.
Psalm 7 (5)
O Lord my God, in Thee have I put my trust: save me
from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Lest he devour my soul hike a lion, and tear it in pieces:
while there is none to help.
O Lord my God, if I have done any such thing: or if there
be any wickedness in my hands;
If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with
me: yea, I have delivered him that without any cause is mine
enemy:
Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me:
yea, let him tread my life down upon the earth, and lay mine
honour in the dust.
Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift up thyself, because
of the indignation of mine enemies: arise up for me in
the judgment that thou hast commanded.
And so shall the congregation of the people come about
thee: for their sakes therefore lift up thyself again.
The Lord shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O
Lord: according to my righteousness, and according to the
innocency that is in me.
O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end: but
guide thou the just.
For the righteous God trieth the very hearts and reins.
My help cometh of God: who preserveth them that are true
of heart.
God is a righteous judge, strong and patient; and God is
provoked every day.
If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword: he hath
bent his bow, and made it ready.
He hath prepared for him the instruments of death: he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Behold, he travaileth with mischief: he hath conceived
sorrow, and brought forth ungodliness.
He hath graven and digged up a pit: and is fallen him-
self into the destruction that he made for other.
For his travail shall come upon his own head: and his
wickedness shall fall on his own pate.
I will give thanks unto the Lord, according to his righte-
ousness: and I will praise the name of the Lord most High.
Glory be, &c.
Psalm 8 (6)
O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the
world: thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
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.
For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy
fingers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.
What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him lower than the angels: to crown
with glory and worship.
Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy
hands: and thou hast put all things in subjection under his
feet;
All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and a what-
soever walketh through the paths of the seas.
O Lord our Governor: how excellent is thy Name in all
the world! Glory be, &c.
Psalms 9 & 10 (7)
I will give thanks unto tree, O Lord, with my whole heart:
I will speak of all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: yea, my songs will I
make of thy name, O thou most Highest.
While mine enemies are driven back; they shall fall and
perish in thy presence.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art
set in the throne that judgest right.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, and destroyed the un-
godly: thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:
even as the cities which thou hast destroyed: their memo-
rial is perished with them.
But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath also prepared
his seat for judgment.
For he shall judge the world in righteousness: and mi-
nister true judgment unto the people.
The Lord also will be a defence for the oppressed: even
a refuge in due time of trouble.
And they that know thy Name will put their trust in
thee: for thou, Lord, hast never failed them that seek thee.
O praise the Lord which dwelleth in Sion: shew the
people of his doings.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remem-
bereth them: and forgetteth not the complaint of the poor.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider the trouble
which I suffer of them that hate me: thou that liftest me
up from the gates of death.
That I may shew all thy praises within the ports of the
daughter of Sion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in
the same net which they hid privily, is their foot taken.
The Lord is known to execute judgment: the ungodly is
trapped in the work of his own hands.
The wicked shall be turned into hell: and all the people
that forget God.
For the poor shall not alway be forgotten: the patient
abiding of the meek shall not perish for ever.
Up, Lord, and let not man have the upper hand: let the
heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O Lord: that the heathen may know
themselves to be but men.
Why standest thou so far off, O Lord: and hidest thy face
in the needful time of trouble?
The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poor:
let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have
imagined.
For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart’s desire:
and speaketh good of the covetous, whom God abhorreth.
The ungodly is so proud, that he careth not for God:
neither is God in all his thoughts.
His ways are always grievous: thy judgments are far above
out of his sight, and therefore defieth he all his enemies.
For he hath said in his heart, Tush, I shall never be cast
down: there shall no harm happen unto me.
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and fraud: under
his tongue is ungodliness and vanity.
He sitteth lurking in the thievish corners of the streets:
and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent:
his eyes are set against the poor.
For he lieth waiting secretly, even as a lion lurketh he in
his den: that he may ravish the poor.
He doth ravish the poor: when he getteth him into his
net.
He falleth down, and humbleth himself: that the congre-
gation of the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.
He hath said in his heart, Tush, God hath forgotten: he
hideth away his face, and he will never see it.
Arise, O Lord God, and lift up thine hand: forget not
the poor.
Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while he
doth say in his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it.
Surely thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest ungodliness
and wrong.
That thou mayest take the matter into thy hand: the
poor committeth himself unto thee; for thou art the helper
of the friendless.
Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious: take
away his ungodliness, and thou shalt find none.
The Lord is King for ever and ever: and the heathen are
perished out of the land.
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poor: thou pre-
parest their heart, and thine ear hearkeneth thereto.
To help the fatherless and poor unto their right: that the
man of the earth be no more exalted against them. Glory
be, &c.
Psalm 11 (8)
In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul,
that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?
For, lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their
arrows within the quiver: that they may privily shoot at
them which are true of heart.
For the foundations will be cast down: and what hath the
righteous done
The Lord is in his holy temple: the Lord’s seat is in
heaven.
His eyes consider the poor: and his eyelids try the chil-
dren of men.
The Lord alloweth the righteous: but the ungodly, and
him that delighteth in wickedness, doth his soul abhor.
Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.
For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness: his counte-
nance will behold the thing that is just. Glory be, &c.
(d) Antiphon
God is a righteous judge, strong and patient: shall God
be angry every day?
(e) Antiphon
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord.
Psalm 12 (9)
Help me, Lord, for there is not one godly man left: for
the faithful are minished from among the children of men.
They talk of vanity every one with his neighbour: they
do but flatter with their lips, and dissemble in their double
heart.
The Lord shall root out all deceitful lips: and the tongue
that speaketh proud things.
Which have said, with our tongue will we prevail: we are
they that ought to speak; who is Lord over us?
Now for this comfortless troubles’ sake of the needy: and
because of the deep sighing of the poor;
I will up, saith the Lord: and will help every one from
him that swelleth against him, and will set him at rest.
The words of the Lord are pure words: even as the
silver which from the earth is tried, and purified seven times
in the fire.
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord: thou shalt preserve him
from this generation for ever.
The ungodly walk on every side: when they are exalted,
the children of men are put to rebuke. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 13 (10)
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever: how
long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so
vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph
over me?
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine
eyes that I sleep not in death;
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: for
if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.
But my trust is in thy mercy: and my heart is joyful in
thy salvation.
I will sing of the Lord, because he hath dealt so lovingly
with me: yea, I will praise this Name of the Lord most
Highest. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 14 (11)
The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God.
They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of
men: to see if there were any that would understand, and
seek after God.
But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether be-
come abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues
have they deceived: the poison of asps is under their lips.
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet
are swift to shed blood.
Destruction and unhappiness is in their ways, and the
way of peace have they not known: there is no fear of God
before their eyes.
Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers
of mischief: eating up my people as it were bread, and call
not upon the Lord?
There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear
was: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the
poor: because he putteth his trust in the Lord.
Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Sion? When
the Lord turneth the captivity of his people: then shall
Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 15 (12)
Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall
rest upon thy holy hill?
Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life: and doeth the
thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart.
He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil
to his neighbour: and hath not slandered his neighbour.
He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own
eyes: and maketh much of them that fear the Lord.
He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth
him not: though it were to his own hindrance.
He that hath not given his money upon usury: nor taken
reward against the innocent.
Whoso doeth these things shall never fall. Glory
be, &c.
(e) Antiphon
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord: thou shalt preserve him.

Reader.—Sir, pray for a blessing.
Minister.—The Father everlasting, bless us with a per-
petual blessing. Amen.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to
battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belong-
eth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah,
in Ephes-dammim.
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together
and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array
against the Philistines.
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side,
and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there
was a valley between them.
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the
Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six
cubits and a span.
And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was
armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was
five thousand shekels of brass.
And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target
of brass between his shoulders.
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and
his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and
one bearing a shield went before him.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 1.

Lesson 2.
1 Sam. xvii. 8-11.
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said
unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array?
am I not a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a
man for you, and let him come down to me.
If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will
we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill
him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this
day: give me a man that we may fight together.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the
Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 2.
*God is the avenger of all men. He hath sent His angel,* *and taken me from my Father's sheep; and hath* *anointed me with the oil of His mercy*.

And hath anointed me with the oil of His mercy.

Lesson 3.
1 Sam. xvii. 12-16.
Now David *was* the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-
judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and
the man went among men for an old man in the days of
Saul.
And the three eldest sons of Jesse went, and followed
Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that
went to the battle were Eliab the first-born; and next unto
him, Abinadab; and the third, Shammah.
And David was the youngest; and the three eldest fol-
lowed Saul.
But David went and returned from Saul, to feed his
father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
And the Philistine drew near, morning and evening, and
presented himself forty days.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 3.
*The Lord, who delivered me out of the mouth of the lion,* *and out of the paw of the bear, He shall deliver me* *from the hands of mine enemies*.

He shall deliver me from the hands of mine enemies.
Glory be, &c.
He shall deliver me from the hands of mine enemies.
Nocturn II.
(g) Antiphon
My goods.
Psalm 16 (13)
Preserve me, O God: for in thee I have put my trust.
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord: thou art my
God, my goods are nothing unto thee.
All my delight is upon the saints, that are in the earth:
and upon such as excel in virtue.
But they that run after another god: shall have great
trouble.
Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer: neither
make mention of their names within my lips.
The Lord himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and
of my cup: thou shalt maintain my lot.
The lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground: yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
I will thank the Lord for giving me warning: my reins
also chasten me in the night-season.
I have set God always before me: for he is on my right
hand, therefore I shall not fall.
Wherefore my heart was glad, and my glory rejoiced: my
flesh also shall rest in hope.
For why? thou shalt not leave my soul in hell: neither
shalt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
Thou shalt show me the paths of life: in thy presence is
the fulness of joy: and at thy right hand there is pleasure
for evermore. Glory be, &c.
(g) Antiphon
My goods are nothing unto Thee; in Thee have I put
my trust, preserve me, O God.
(h) Antiphon
Because of the words of Thy lips.
Psalm 17 (14)
Hear the right, O Lord, consider my complaint: and
hearken unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: and let
thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.
Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night
season; thou hast tried me, and shalt find no wickedness
in me: for I am utterly purposed that my mouth shall not
offend.
Because of men’s works that are done against the words
of my lips: I have kept me from the ways of the destroyer.
O hold thou up my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps
slip not.
I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me:
incline thine ear to me, and harken unto my words.
Show thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the
Saviour of them which put their trust in thee: from such as
resist thy right hand.
Keep me as the apple of an eye: hide me under the
shadow of thy wings.
From the ungodly that trouble me: mine enemies com-
pass me round about to take away my soul.
They are inclosed in their own fat: and their mouth
speaketh proud things.
They lie waiting in our way on every side: turning their
eyes down to the ground;
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey: and as it were
a lion’s whelp lurking in secret places.
Up, Lord, disappoint him, and cast him down: deliver
my soul from the ungodly, which is a sword of thine;
From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I
say, and from the evil world: which have their portion
in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid trea-
sure.
They have children at their desire: and leave the rest
of their substance for their babes.
But as for me, I will behold thy presence in righteous-
ness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be
satisfied with it. Glory be, &c.
(h) Antiphon
Because of the words of Thy lips, I have kept me from
the ways of the destroyer.
(i) Antiphon
I will love Thee.
Psalm 18 (15)
… O Lord, my strength; the Lord is my stony rock, and
my defence: my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom
I will trust: thy buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and
my refuge.
I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy to be praised:
so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
The sorrows of death compassed me: and the overflow-
ings of ungodliness made me afraid.
The pains of hell came about me: the snares of death
overtook me.
In my trouble I will call upon the Lord: and complain
unto my God.
So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple: and my
complaint shall come before him, it shall enter even into his
ears.
The earth trembled and quaked: the very foundations also
of the hills shook, and were removed, because he was wroth.
There went a smoke out in his presence: and a consuming
fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and it was
dark under his feet.
He rode upon the cherubims, and did fly: he came flying
upon the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his secret place: his pavilion round
about him with dark water, and thick clouds to cover him.
At the brightness of his presence his clouds removed:
hailstones, and coals of fire.
The Lord also thundered out of heaven, and the Highest
gave his thunder: hail-stones, and coals of fire.
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them: he cast forth
lightnings and destroyed them.
The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the round world were discovered, at thy chiding, O Lord:
at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasure.
He shall send down from on high to fetch me: and shall
take me out of many waters.
He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from
them which hate me: for they are too mighty for me.
They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the
Lord was my upholder.
He brought me forth also into a place of liberty: he
brought me forth, even because he had a favour unto me.
The Lord shall reward me after my righteous dealing: ac-
cording to the cleanness of my hands shall he recompense me.
Because I have kept the ways of the Lord: and have not
forsaken my God, as the wicked doeth.
For I have an eye unto all his laws: and will not cast out
his commandments from me.
I was also uncorrupt before him: and eschewed mine own
wickedness.
Therefore shall the Lord reward me after my righteous
dealing: and according unto the cleanness of my hands in
his eye-sight.
With the holy thou shalt be holy: and with a perfect man
thou shalt be perfect.
With the clean thou shalt be clean: and with the forward
thou shalt learn frowardness.
For thou shalt save the people that are in adversity: and
shalt bring down the high looks of the proud.
Thou also shalt light my candle: the Lord my God shall
make my darkness to be light.
For in thee I shall discomfit an host of men: and with
the help of my God I shall leap over the wall.
The way of God is an undefiled way: the word of the
Lord also is tried in the fire; he is the defender of all them
that put their trust in him.
For who is God, but the Lord: or who hath any strength,
except our God?
It is God that girdeth me with strength of war; and
maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like harts’ feet: and setteth me up on
high.
He teacheth mine hands to fight: and mine arms shall
break even a bow of steel.
Thou hast given me the defence of thy salvation: thy
right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving correction
shall make me great.
Thou shalt make room enough under me for to go: that
my footsteps shall not slide.
I will follow upon mine enemies, and overtake them:
neither will I turn again till I have destroyed them.
I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand:
but fall under my feet.
Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
shalt throw down mine enemies under me.
Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs
upon me: and I shall destroy them that hate me.
They shall cry, but there shall be none to help them:
yea, even unto the Lord shall they cry, but he shall not
hear them.
I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind: I
will cast them out as the clay in the streets.
Thou shalt deliver me from the strivings of the people:
and thou shalt make me the head of the heathen.
A people whom I have not known: shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: but the
strange children shall dissemble with me.
The strange children shall fail: and be afraid out of their
prisons.
The Lord liveth, and blessed be my strong helper: and
praised be the God of my salvation.
Even the God that seeth that I be avenged: and subdueth
the people unto me.
It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies, and
setteth me up above mine adversaries: thou shalt rid me
from the wicked man.
For this cause will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord,
among the Gentiles: and sing praises unto thy Name.
Great prosperity giveth he unto his king: and sheweth
loving-kindness unto David his Anointed, and unto his seed
for evermore. Glory be, &c.
(i) Antiphon

Lesson 4.
(Sermon of St.
Augustin,
Bishop.)
The children of Israel presented themselves against their
adversaries forty days. Which signifieth the present world
having four seasons and four parts of the earth, and in which
the Christian people ceaseth not to war against Goliath and
his host, that is, with the devil and his angels. Yet they
could not conquer, except that Christ, the true David, had
descended with his staff, even the mystery of His Cross.
For before the coming of Christ, dearly beloved brethren,
the devil was at liberty; but when Christ came, He did to-
wards him what the Gospel speaketh of, “No man can enter
into a strong man’s house and spoil his goods, unless first
he bind the strong man.” Christ therefore came, and bound
the devil.
Thou then, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 4.
*Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thou-
sands; for the hand of the Lord was with him, and
he slew the Philistines, and took away the reproach
from Israel*.
Is not this he of whom they sang in the dance, saying,
Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
For the hand of the Lord was with him, and he slew the
Philistines, and took away the reproach from Israel.
Benediction 5.
*Reader*.—Sir, pray for a blessing.
*Minister*.—Christ grant to us the joys of endless life. *Amen*.
Lesson 5.
(Sermon
continued.)
But some one will say, If the devil be bound, how hath he
still such dominion? It is true, dearly beloved, that he hath
much dominion, but it is over the lukewarm and careless,
and those who fear not the Lord in truth. For he is bound,
as a dog that is chained, able to bite none but such as are
led by a fatal recklessness to close with him. Ye know,
my brethren, the foolishness of him whom a chained dog
biteth. Only beware thou of closing with him in the
likings and lusts of this world, and he will not dare to come
to thee. He can bark, he can vex; he can in no wise bite
except those that be willing. Not his violence, but his
blandishments hurt us; he doth not extort, he winneth our
consent.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 5.
*Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let* *there be rain upon you; for there the mighty men* *of Israel are fallen*.

For there the mighty men of Israel are fallen.

Lesson 6.
(Sermon
continued.)
Therefore David came, and found the Jewish people fight-
ing against the devil; and when there was no one to under-
take the single combat, he, bearing the figure of Christ, pro-
ceeded to the battle, with a staff in his hand, and went out
against Goliath. And then was shadowed out in him, what
was fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. For Christ, the true
David, came, who, being to fight against the spiritual Goliath,
that is, the, devil, bare his own Cross. Ye see, my brethren,
where David struck the Philistine, in the forehead, which
had not been signed by the sign of the Cross. For as the staff
was the type of the Cross, so also the stone wherewith he
was struck, was a type of the Lord Christ.
Thou therefore, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 6.
I took thee from the sheepcote, saith the Lord, to be
Shepherd over my people, and I was with thee whither-
soever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies
out of thy sight.
And I have made thee a great name, like unto the name
of the great men that are in the earth, and have caused thee
to rest from all thine enemies.
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have
cut off all thine enemies out of Thy sight.
Glory be to the Father, &c.
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have
cut off all thine enemies out of Thy sight.
Nocturn III.
(k) Antiphon
There is no speech.
Psalm 19 (16)
The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament
sheweth his handy work.
One day telleth another: and one night certifieth another.
There is neither speech nor language: but their voices
are heard among them.
Their sound is gone out into all lands: and their words
into the ends of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun: which
cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and re-
joiceth as a giant to run his course.
It goeth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and run-
eth about unto the end of it again: and there is nothing
hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the
soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom
unto the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart,
the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light
unto the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth for ever; the
judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold: sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant taught: and in keeping
of them there is great reward.
Who can tell how oft he offendeth: O cleanse thou me
from my secret faults!
Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they
get the dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled, and in-
nocent from the great offence.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart: be always acceptable in thy sight.
O Lord: my strength, and my redeemer. Glory be, &c.
(k) Antiphon
There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are

(l) Antiphon
The Lord hear thee.
Psalm 20 (17)
… in the day of trouble: the name of the God of
Jacob defend thee.
Send thee help from the sanctuary: and strengthen thee
out of Sion.
Remember all thy offerings: and accept thy burnt
sacrifice.
Grant thee thy heart’s desire: and fulfil all thy mind.
We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name
of the Lord our God: the Lord perform all thy petitions.
Now know I that the Lord helpeth his Anointed, and will
hear him from his holy heaven: even with the wholesome
strength of his right hand.
Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses: but
we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought down, and fallen: but we are risen, and
stand upright.
Save, Lord, and hear us, O king of heaven: when we
call upon thee. Glory be, &c.
(l) Antiphon
The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble.
(m) Antiphon
The king.
Psalm 21 (18)
… shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord: exceeding
glad shall he be of thy salvation.
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not
denied him the request of his lips.
For thou shalt prevent him with the blessings of goodness:
and shalt set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life;
even for ever and ever.
His honour is great in thy salvation: glory and great
worship shalt thou lay upon him.
For thou shalt give him everlasting felicity: and make
him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
And why? because the king putteth his trust in the Lord:
and in the mercy of the Most Highest he shall not miscarry.
All thine enemies shall feel thy hand; thy right hand
shall find out them that hate thee.
Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thy
wrath: the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and
the fire shall consume them.
Their fruit shalt thou root out of the earth: and their
seed from among the children of men.
For they intended mischief against thee: and imagined
such a device as they are not able to perform.
Therefore shalt thou put them to flight: and the strings of
thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them.
Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we
sing, and praise thy power. Glory be, &c.
(m) Antiphon
The King shall rejoice in Thy strength, O Lord.

Lesson 7.
(Luke v.)
At that time, as the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the
word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesareth.
And saw two ships standing by the lake; but the fisher
-men were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s,
and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the
land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon,
Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a
draught.
And Simon answering, said unto him, Master, we have
toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless,
at thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they enclosed a great mul-
titude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners which were in the
other ship, that they should come and help them. And they
came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees,
saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord, &c.
Homily of
St. Ambrose,
Bishop
When the Lord wrought His various kinds of healing
among many, the multitude could not be restrained, either
by time or place, from their eagerness to be healed. The
evening fell on them; they followed. The water met them:
they pressed on. Therefore he entered into the ship of
Peter. This is that ship, which according to St. Matthew
ever tosseth, according to St. Luke is filled with fishes, as an
emblem of the Church labouring in its beginning, overflow-
ing in its latter time; for by fishes are meant those who es-
cape the surge of this life. Christ still sleeps in the one amid
His disciples, and still directs them in the other; for He
sleeps to the fearful, but he watches over the perfect.
Thou then, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 7.
My transgressions are more in number than the sands of the sea, and my sins have multiplied; and I am not wor- thy to look up to the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities, for I have provoked Thine anger; and done evil in Thy sight.
For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before
thee, for against Thee only have I sinned.
And done evil in Thy sight.
Benediction 8.
*Reader*.—Sir, pray for a blessing.
*Minister*.—The help of God abide with us for ever. *Amen*.
Lesson 8.
(Homily
continued.)
No distress befalls this ship, in which wisdom is pilot,
misbelief is unknown, faith fills the sails. For how can she
be in distress, being governed by him who is the very stay
of the Church? Therefore distress is only there where there
is scanty faith; where love is perfect, there is security.
Though others were told to let down their nets, to Peter
alone He said, Launch out into the deep, that is, the depth
of contemplation. For what is so deep as to see the depth
of His riches, to know the Son of God, to confess His Divine
Generation? Which, though man’s understanding cannot
compass fully by searching out, the full assurance of faith
embraceth.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.
Response 8.

(Homily

For though I may not know how He was born, yet I may
not be ignorant that He was born. The mode of His gene-
ration I know not, the Author of it I confess. We were not
witnesses of it, but we are witnesses of its revelation. If we
believe not God, whom shall we believe? For all belief
comes from sight or hearing. Sight is often deceived,
hearing is of faith.

All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of thy Glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknow-
ledge thee;
The Father: of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true: and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost: The Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory: O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man: thou didst
not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: thou
didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the Glory of the
Father.
We believe that thou shalt come: to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou
hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints: in glory
everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine heritage.
Govern them: and lift them up for ever.
Day by day: we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name: ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in
thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be con-
founded.

Ever since the world began, hath thy seat been prepared:

The floods are risen, O Lord, the floods have lift up their

Psalm 63
and 67 (3)
O God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee.
My soul thirsteth for thee: my flesh also longeth after
thee: in a barren and dry land, where no water is.
Thus have I looked for thee in holiness: that I might
behold thy power and glory.
For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself: my
lips shall praise thee.
As long as I live, will I magnify thee on this manner:
and lift up my hands in thy name.
My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow
and fatness: when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
Have I not remembered thee in my bed, and thought upon
thee when I was waking?
Because thou hast been my helper: therefore under the
shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul hangeth upon thee: thy right hand hath up-
holden me.
These also that seek the hurt of my soul: they shall go
under the earth.
Let them fall upon the edge of the sword: that they may
be a portion for foxes.
But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that
swear by him, shall be commended: for the mouth of them
that speak lies shall be stopped.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the
light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;
That thy way may be known upon earth: thy saving health
among all nations.
Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people
praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad: for thou shalt judge
the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; and God,
even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
God shall bless us: and all the ends of the world shall fear
him. Glory be, &c.

For everlasting peace.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for he hath visited,

And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the

As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets: which
have been since the world began;
That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the
hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to
remember his holy covenant.
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather
Abraham: that he would give us;
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies:
might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of
our life.
And thou, Child, shalt be called the prophet of the High-
est: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare
his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the
remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the Day-

To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the

The star of morn to night succeeds,
We therefore meekly pray,
May God in all our words and deeds
Keep us from harm this day.
May he in love restrain us still
From tones of strife and words of ill,
And wrap around and close our eyes
To earth’s absorbing vanities.
May wrath and thoughts that gender shame
Ne’er in our breasts abide,
And painful abstinences tame
Of wanton flesh the pride:
So when the weary day is o’er
And night and stillness come once more,
Blameless and clean from spot of earth
We may repeat, with reverent mirth,
Praise to the Father, as is meet,
Praise to the only Son,
Praise to the Holy Paraclete,
While endless ages run. Amen.

For strangers are risen up against me: and tyrants, which
have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.
Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that
uphold my soul.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou
them in thy truth.
An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy
Name, O Lord: because it is so comfortable.
For he hath delivered me out of all my trouble: and mine
eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. Glory be, &c.

mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now confess: that his mercy en-
dureth for ever.
Yea, let them now that fear the Lord confess: that his
mercy endureth for ever.
I called upon the Lord in trouble: and the Lord heard
me at large.
The Lord is on my side: I will not fear what man doeth
unto me.
The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: there-
fore shall I see my desire upon mine enemies.
It is better to trust in the Lord: than to put any confi-
dence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord: than to put any confi-
dence in princes.
All nations compassed me round about: but in the Name
of the Lord will I destroy them.
They kept me in on every side, they kept me in, I say,

them.
They came about me like bees, and are extinct even as

Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall: but the
Lord was my help.

I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me: and art become

The same stone which the builders refused: is become the

This is the Lord’s doing: and it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will re-

Help me now, O Lord: O Lord, send us now prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we
have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the
Lord.
God is the Lord who hath showed us light: bind the sa-
crifice with cords; yea, even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will thank thee: thou art my
God, and I will praise thee.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his
mercy endureth for ever. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 119 (3)
1-16.
Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way: and walk
in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies: and seek him
with their whole heart.
For they who do no wickedness: walk in his ways.
Thou hast charged: that we shall diligently keep thy com-
mandments.
O that my ways were made so direct: that I might keep
thy statutes!
So shall I not be confounded: while I have respect unto
all thy commandments.
I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart: when I shall
have learned the judgments of thy righteousness.
I will keep thy ceremonies: O forsake me not utterly.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way: even by
ruling himself after thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not go
wrong out of thy commandments.
Thy words have I hid within my heart: that I should not
sin against thee.
Blessed art thou, O Lord: O teach me thy statutes.
With my lips have I been telling: of all the judgments of
thy mouth.
I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies:
as in all manner of riches.
I will talk of thy commandments: and have respect unto
thy ways.
My delight shall be in thy statutes: and I will not forget
thy word. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 119. (4)
17-32.
O do well unto thy servant: that I may live and keep thy
word.
Open thou mine eyes: that I may see the wondrous things
of thy law.
I am a stranger upon earth: O hide not thy command-
ments from me.
My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire: that it
hath alway unto thy judgment.
Thou hast rebuked the proud: and cursed are they that
do err from thy commandments.
O turn from me shame and rebuke: for I have kept thy
testimonies.
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant
is occupied in thy statutes.
For thy testimonies are my delight: and my counsellors.
My soul cleaveth to the dust: O quicken thou me, accord-
ing to thy word.
I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me: O
teach me thy statutes.
Make me to understand the way of thy commandments:
and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
My soul melteth away for very heaviness: comfort thou
me according unto thy word.
Take from me the way of lying: and cause thou me to
make much of thy law.
I have chosen the way of truth: and thy judgments have I
laid before me.
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, confound me
not.
I will run the way of thy commandments: when thou hast
set my heart at liberty. Glory be, &c.
The Creed of
St. Athanasius
Whosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary
that he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith except every one do keep whole and unde-
filed: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God
in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity.
Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the sub-
stance.
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son:
and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-
eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such as the Holy
Ghost.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy
Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible:
and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost
eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.
And also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three
uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty:
and the Holy Ghost Almighty.
And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy
Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the
Holy Ghost Lord.
And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to
acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord;
So we are forbidden by the Catholic Religion: to say,
There be three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none: neither created, nor be-
gotten.
The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but
begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither
made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not
three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is
greater, or less than another.
But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together: and
co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity,
and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the
Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that
he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess: that our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;
God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the
worlds: and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the
world.
Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul, and
human flesh subsisting:
Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and infe-
rior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.
Who although he be God and man: yet he is not two, but
one Christ.
One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by
taking of the Manhood into God;
One altogether; not by confusion of substance: but by
unity of Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God
and Man is one Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose
again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven; he sitteth on the right hand of
the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their
bodies: and shall give account of their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life everlast-
ing: and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic Faith: which except a man believe
faithfully, he cannot be saved. Glory be, &c.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law: yea,
I shall keep it with my whole heart.
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments: for
therein is my desire.
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies: and not to
covetousness.
O turn away mine eyes lest they behold vanity: and
quicken thou me in thy way.
O stablish thy word in thy servant: that I may fear thee.
Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of: for thy judg-
ments are good.
Behold, my delight is in thy commandments: O quicken
me in thy righteousness.
Let thy loving mercy come also unto me, O Lord: even
thy salvation, according unto thy word.
So shall I make answer unto my blasphemers: for my
trust is in thy word.
O take not the word of thy truth utterly out of my month:
for my hope is in thy judgments.
So shall I alway keep thy law: yea, for ever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy commandments.
I will speak of thy testimonies also, even before kings:

And my delight shall be in thy commandments: which I
have loved.
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments,
which I have loved: and my study shall be in thy statutes.

O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word: where-

The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy word hath
quickened me.
The proud have had me exceedingly in derision: yet have
I not shrinked from thy law.
For I remembered thine everlasting judgments, O Lord:
and received comfort.
I am horribly afraid: for the ungodly that forsake thy
law.
Thy statutes have been my songs: in the house of my
pilgrimage.
I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the night-
season: and have kept thy law.
This I had: because I kept thy commandments.
Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have promised to keep
thy law.
I made my humble petition in thy presence with my whole
heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word.
I called mine own ways to remembrance: and turned my
feet unto thy testimonies.
I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to keep thy
commandments.
The congregations of the ungodly have robbed me: but I
have not forgotten thy law.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee: because
of thy righteous judgments.
I am a companion of all them that fear thee: and keep
thy commandments.
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O teach me thy
statutes. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 119. (3)
65-80.
O Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant: ac-

O learn me true understanding and knowledge: for I have
believed thy commandments.
Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now have I
kept thy word.
Thou art good and gracious: O teach me thy statutes.
The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will
keep thy commandments with my whole heart.
Their heart is as fat as brawn: but my delight hath been
in thy law.
It is good for me that I have been in trouble: that I may
learn thy statutes.
The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than thousands
of gold and silver.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: O give me
understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me: be-
cause I have put my trust in thy word.
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right: and that
thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.
O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort: according to
thy word unto thy servant.
O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I may live:
for thy law is my delight.
Let the proud be confounded, for they go wickedly about
to destroy me: but I will be occupied in thy commandments.
Let such as fear thee, and have known thy testimonies:
be turned unto me.
O let my heart be sound in thy statutes: that I be not
ashamed. Glory be, &c.

Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O when wilt
thou comfort me?
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke: yet do I not
forget thy statutes.
How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou
be avenged of them that persecute me
The proud have digged pits for me: which are not after
thy law.
All thy commandments are true: they persecute me
falsely; O be thou my help.
They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I
forsook not thy commandments.
O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and so shall I
keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
O Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in heaven.
Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another:
thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.
They continue this day according to thine ordinance: for
all things serve thee.
If my delight had not been in thy law: I should have
perished in my trouble.
I will never forget thy commandments: for with them thou
hast quickened me.
I am thine, O save me: for I have sought thy command-
ments.
The ungodly laid wait for me, to destroy me: but I will
consider thy testimonies.
I see that all things come to an end: but thy command-
ment is exceeding broad. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 119. (2)
97-112.
Lord, what love have I unto thy law: all the day long is
my study in it!
Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me wiser
than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
I have more understanding than my teachers: for thy
testimonies are my study.
I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy command-
ments.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way: that I may
keep thy word.
I have not shrunk from thy judgments: for thou teachest
me.
O how sweet are thy words unto my throat: yea, sweeter
than honey unto my mouth!
Through thy commandments I get understanding: there-
fore I hate all evil ways.
Thy word is a lantern unto my feet: and a light unto my
paths.
I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed: to keep thy
righteous judgments.
I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O Lord, ac-
cording to thy word.
Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O
Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
My soul is always in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
The ungodly have laid a snare for me: but yet I swerved
not from thy commandments.
Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever:
and why? they are the very joy of my heart.
I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes always: even
unto the end. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 119 (3)
113-128.
I hate them that imagine evil things: but thy law do I love.
Thou art my defence and shield: and my trust is in thy
word.
Away from me, ye wicked: I will keep the command-
ments of my God.
O establish me according to thy word, that I may live:
and let me not be disappointed of my hope.
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: yea, my delight
shall be ever in thy statutes.
Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy
statutes: for they imagine but deceit.
Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross:
therefore I love thy testimonies.
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee: and I am afraid of
thy judgments.
I deal with the thing that is lawful and right: O give me
not over unto mine oppressors.
Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good:
that the proud do me no wrong.
Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health:
and for the word of thy righteousness.
O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving-mercy:
and teach me thy statutes.
I am thy servant; O grant me understanding; that I may
know thy testimonies.
It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand: for they
have destroyed thy law.
For I love thy commandments: above gold and precious
stone.
Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments: and all
false ways I utterly abhor. Glory be, &c.

Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul

When thy word goeth forth: it giveth light and under-
standing unto the simple.
I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath: for my de-
light was in thy commandments.
O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me; as thou
usest to do unto those that love thy Name.
Order my steps in thy word: and so shall no wickedness
have dominion over me.
O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men; and so
shall I keep thy commandments.
Shew the light of thy countenance upon thy servant: and
teach me thy statutes.
Mine eyes gush out with water: because men keep not
thy law.
Righteous art thou, O Lord: and true is thy judgment!
The testimonies that thou hast commanded: are exceed-
ing righteous and true.
My zeal hath even consumed me, because mine enemies
have forgotten thy words.
Thy word is tried to the uttermost: and thy servant
loveth it.
I am small and of no reputation: yet do I not forget thy
commandments.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness: and thy
law is the truth.
Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me: yet is

Mine eyes prevent the night-watches: that I might be
occupied in thy words.
Hear my voice, O Lord, according unto thy loving-kind-
ness: quicken me according as thou art wont.
They draw nigh that of malice persecute me: and are far
from thy law.
Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord, for all thy commandments
are true.
As concerning thy testimonies I have known long since:
that thou hast grounded them for ever.
O consider mine adversity, and deliver me: for I do not
forget thy law.
Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me: quicken me ac-
cording to thy word.
Health is far from the ungodly: for they regard not thy
statutes.
Great is thy mercy, O Lord: quicken me, as thou art wont.
Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me: yet
do I not swerve from thy testimonies.
It grieveth me when I see the transgressors: because they
keep not thy law.
Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments: O
quicken me according to thy loving-kindness.
Thy word is true from everlasting: all the judgments of
thy righteousness endure for evermore. Glory be, &c.

I am as glad of thy word: as one that findeth great spoils.
As for lies, I hate and abhor them: but thy law do I
love.
Seven times a day do I praise thee: because of thy righte-
ous judgments.
Great is the peace that they have who love thy law: and
they are not offended at it.
Lord, I have looked for thy saving health: and done after
thy commandments.
My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and loved them ex-
ceedingly.
I have kept thy commandments and testimonies: for all
my ways are before thee.
Let my complaint come before thee, O Lord: give me un-
derstanding according to thy word.
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me accord-
ing to thy word.
My lips shall speak of thy praise: when thou hast taught
me thy statutes.
Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word: for all thy com-
mandments are righteous.
Let thine hand help me: for I have chosen thy command-
ments.
I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord: and in thy
law is my delight.
O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee: and thy judg-
ments shall help me.
I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: O seek thy
servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Glory
be, &c.

The Lord said
… unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Sion: be
thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.
In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free-will
offerings with an holy worship: the dew of thy birth is of the
womb of the morning.
The Lord aware, and will not repent: Thou art a Priest for
ever after the order of Melchisedech.
The Lord upon thy right hand: shall wound even kings in
the day of his wrath.
He shall judge among the heathen; he shall fill the places
with the dead bodies: and smite in sunder the heads over
divers countries.
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he
lift up his head. Glory be, &c.

Psalm 111. (2)
All His commandments.
I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart:
secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all them
that have pleasure therein.
His work is worthy to be praised, and had in honour: and
his righteousness endureth for ever.
The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvel-
lous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance.
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he shall
ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath showed his people the power of his works; that
he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and judgment: all his
commandments are true.
They stand fast for ever and ever: amid are done in truth
and equity.
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded
his covenant for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they that do thereafter; the praise
of it endureth for ever. Glory be, &c.

All his commandments are true: they stand fast for ever

delight in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of
the faithful shall be blessed.
Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness:
he is merciful, loving, and righteous.
A good man is merciful, and lendeth: and will guide his
words with discretion.
For he shall never be moved: and the righteous shall be
had in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of any evil tidings: for his heart
standeth fast, and believeth in the Lord.
His heart is established, and will not shrink: until he
see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor: and
his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be
exalted with honour.
The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him: he
shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire
of the ungodly shall perish. Glory be, &c.

The Lord’s name is praised: from the rising up of the
sun, unto the going down of the same.
The Lord is high above all heathen: and his glory above
the heavens.
Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwell-
ing so high: and yet humbleth himself to behold the things
that are in heaven and earth?
He taketh up the simple out of the dust: and lifteth the
poor out of the mire.
That he may set him with the princes: even with the
princes of his people.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house: and to be
a joyful mother of children. Glory be, &c.

Psalm 114 and
115. (5)
We who live.
When Israel came out of Egypt: and the house of Jacob
from among the strange people,
Judah was his sanctuary: and Israel his dominion.
The sea saw that, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams: and the little hills
like young sheep.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and
thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and ye little
hills like young sheep?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord: at the
presence of the God of Jacob;
Who turned the hard rock into a standing water: and
the flint-stone into a springing well.
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give
the praise: for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their
God?
As for our God, he is in heaven: he hath done whatso-
ever pleased him.
Their idols are silver and gold: even the work of men’s
hands.
They have mouths and speak not: eyes have they, and
see not.
They have ears and hear not: noses have they and smell
not.
They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and
walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them are like unto them: and so are all
such as put their trust in them.
But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he
is their succour and defence.
Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord: he is
their helper and defender.
Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord: he is
their helper and defender.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us:
even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the
the house of Aaron.
He shall bless them that fear the Lord: both small and
great.
The Lord shall increase you more and more: you and
your children.
Ye are the blessed of the Lord: who made heaven and
earth.
All the whole heavens are the Lord’s: the earth hath he
given to the children of men.
The dead praise not thee, O Lord: neither all they that
go down into silence.
But we will praise the Lord: from this time forth for
evermore. Praise the Lord. Glory be, &c.
(ccc) Antiphon (5)
We who live will praise the Lord.

(eee) Hymn
[Lucis creator
optime.]
Father of Lights, by whom each day,
Is kindled out of night;
Who, when the heavens were made, didst lay
Their rudiments in light:
Thou, who didst bind and blend in one,
The glistening morn and evening pale,
Hear Thou our plaint, when light is gone
And lawlessness and strife prevail.
Hear, lest the whelming weight of crime
Wreck us with life in view
Lest thoughts and schemes of sense and time
Earn us a sinner’s due.
So may we knock at heaven’s door,
And strive the prize of life to win
Continually and evermore
Guarded without and pure within.
This grace on Thy redeemed confer,
Father, Co-equal Son,
And Holy Ghost the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One. Amen.

Ant. Magnificat
Master, we have toiled all the night.
My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath
rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded: the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For, behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call
me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is
his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all
generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath
exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich
he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy, hath holpen his servant
Israel: as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and
his seed for ever. Glory be, &c.

Have mercy upon me.
Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou
hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble: have mercy
upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour:
and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the
man that is godly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart,
and in your chamber, and be still.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness: and put your trust in
the Lord.
There be many that say: who will show us any good?
Lord, lift thou up: the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart: since the time that
their corn, and wine, and oil increased.
I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest: for it is
thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety. Glory
be, &c.

In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: let me never be put
to confusion: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Bow down thine ear to me: make haste to deliver me.

thou rnayest save me.
For thou art my strong rock and my castle: be thou also
my guide, and lead me for thy Name’s sake.
Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.
Into thy hands I commend my spirit: for thou hast re-
deemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 91.
Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the Most High: shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my
strong hold: my God, in him will I trust.
For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter: and
from the noisome pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be
safe under his feathers: his faithfulness and truth shall be thy
shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night: nor for
the arrow that flieth by day.
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the
sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.
A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy
right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold: and see the reward
of the ungodly.
For thou, Lord, art my hope: thou hast set thine house of
defence very high.
There shall no evil happen unto thee: neither shall any
plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shalt give his angels charge over thee: to keep thee
in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands: that thou hurt not
thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: the young lion
and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him up, because he hath known my
Name.
He shalt call upon me, and I will hear him: yea, I am
with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and bring him to
honour.
With long life will I satisfy him: and show him my sal-
vation. Glory be, &c.
Psalm 134.
Behold now, praise the Lord: all ye servants of the Lord;
Ye that by night stand in the house of the Lord: even in

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary: and praise the Lord.
The Lord, that made heaven and earth: give thee blessing
out of Sion. Glory be, &c.

Now that the day-light dies away
Ere we lie down and sleep,

Pure in our foe’s despite.
This grace on Thy redeemed confer,

And Holy Ghost the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One. Amen.
