before the morning watch.

7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy:
and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel: from all his sins.

PSALM 131. _Domine, non est_.

O Lord, I am not high-minded: I have no proud looks.

2 I do not exercise myself in great matters: which are too high for
me.

3 But I refrain my soul, and keep it low, like as a child that is
weaned from his mother: yea, my soul is even as a weaned child.

4 O Israel, trust in the Lord: from this time forth for evermore.

DAY 28 MORNING PRAYER

PSALM 132. _Memento, Domine_.

Lord, remember David: and all his trouble;

2 How he sware unto the Lord: and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God
of Jacob;

3 I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house: nor climb up
into my bed;

4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eye-lids to
slumber: neither the temples of my head to take any rest;

5 Until I find out a place for the temple of the Lord: an habitation
for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Lo, we heard of the same at Ephrata: and found it in the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacle: and fall low on our knees before

8 Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place: thou, and the ark of thy
strength.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness: and let thy saints
sing with joyfulness.

10 For thy servant David's sake: turn not away the presence of thine
Anointed.

11 The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David: and he shall not
shrink from it;

12 Of the fruit of thy body: shall I set upon thy seat.

13 If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I
shall learn them: their children also shall sit upon thy seat for
evermore.

14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion to be an habitation for himself:
he hath longed for her.

15 This shall be my rest for ever: here will I dwell, for I have a
delight therein.

16 I will bless her victuals with increase: and will satisfy her
poor with bread.

17 I will deck her priests with health: and her saints shall rejoice
and sing.

18 There shall I make the horn of David to flourish: I have ordained
a lantern for mine Anointed.

19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame: but upon
himself shall his crown flourish.

PSALM 133. _Ecce, quam bonum!_

Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is: brethren, to dwell
together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointm
