Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the

way.

The meek will he guide in judgment; and the meek will he teach his way.

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth: unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O Lord: pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

His soul shall dwell at ease: and his seed shall inherit the earth.

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him and he will shew them his covenant.

Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me: for I am desolate and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

Look upon mine affliction and my pain: and forgive all my sins.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed: for I put my trust in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me: for I wait on thee.

PSALM XXVII.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me: put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help: leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me: then the Lord will take me up.

I had fainted: unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Sixth day of the Month.

PSALM XXIX.

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty: give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many

waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful: the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness: the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The Lord sitteth upon the flood: yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.

The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

PSALM XXX.

I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee: and thou hast healed me.

Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his: and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said: I shall never be moved.

Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O Lord: and unto the Lord I made supplication.

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will

give thanks unto thee for ever.

PSALM XXXI.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence, to

save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress: therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee: which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: all ye that hope in the Lord.

Seventh Day of the Month.

PSALM XXXII.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven: whose sin is covered.
