The 1. Day.
trouble, have mercy vpon me, and hearken vnto my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seeke after leasing?
3 Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly : when J call vpon the Lord, he will hear me.
4 Stand in aw, and sin not : commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord.
6 There be many that say : who will shew vs any good?
7 Lord, lift thou vp : the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
8 Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine [and oil] increased.
9 J will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety.
The v. Psalm.
Verba mea auribus.
1 Ponder my words, O Lord ; consider my meditation.
2 O hearken thou vnto the voice of my calling, my King, and my God : for vnto thee will I make my prayer.
3 My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord : early in the morning will J direct my prayer vnto thee, and will look vp.
4 For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickednes : neither shall any evil dwell with thee.
5 Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that work vanity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing : the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and deceitfull man.
