Psalter 4

Psalm 4 .  Cum invocarem EAR  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. 2. O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? 3. 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. 4. Stand in awe, 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 us any good? 7. Lord, lift thou up : the light of thy countenance upon us. 8. Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased. 9. I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.

Bible Reading : Revelation 4:11   New International Version (NIV) 11  “You are worthy, our Lord and God,      to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things,      and by your will they were created      and have their being.” Revelation 5:9-12   New International Version (NIV) 9  And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy  to take the scroll      and to open its seals, because you were slain,      and with your blood  you purchased  for God      persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10  You have made them to be a kingdom and priests  to serve our God,      and they will reign [ a ]  on the earth.” 11  Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. ...

Psalter 141

Psalm 141 .  Domine, clamavi ORD,  I call upon thee, haste thee unto me : and consider my voice when I cry unto thee. 2. Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense : and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. 3. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth : and keep the door of my lips. 4. O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing : let me not be occupied in ungodly works with the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such things as please them. 5. Let the righteous rather smite me friendly : and reprove me. 6. But let not their precious balms break my head : yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness. 7. Let their judges be overthrown in stony places : that they may hear my words, for they are sweet. 8. Our bones lie scattered before the pit : like as when one breaketh and heweth wood upon the earth. 9. But mine eyes look unto thee, O Lord God : in thee is my trust , O cast not out my soul. 10. Keep me from the snare that they have lai...

Psalter 146

Psalm 146 .  Lauda, anima mea RAISE  the Lord, O my soul; while I live will I praise the Lord : yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God. 2. O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man : for there is no help in them. 3. For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth : and then all his thoughts perish. 4. Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord his God; 5. Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is : who keepeth his promise for ever; 6. Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong : who feedeth the hungry. 7. The Lord looseth men out of prison : the Lord giveth sight to the blind. 8. The Lord helpeth them that are fallen : the Lord careth for the righteous. 9. The Lord careth for the strangers, he defendeth the fatherless and widow : as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down. 10. The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore : a...

Psalter 1

Psalm 1 .  Beatus vir, qui non abiit, &c. LESSED  is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners : and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord : and in his law will he exercise himself day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side : that will bring forth his fruit in due season. 4. His leaf also shall not wither : and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper. 5. As for the ungodly, it is not so with them : but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth. 6. Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement : neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7. But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : and the way of the ungodly shall perish.
