into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed
be the name of the Lord. 1 _Tim_. vi. 7. _Job_ i. 21.

_After they are come into the Church, shall be read one or both of
these Psalms following_.

_Dixi, Custodiam_. Psalm xxxix.

I said, I will take heed to my ways: that I offend not in my tongue.

I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle: while the ungodly
is in my sight.

I held my tongue, and spake nothing: I kept silence, yea, even
from good words; but it was pain and grief to me.

My heart was hot within me, and while I was thus musing the fire
kindled: and at the last I spake with my tongue;

Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days: that I may
be certified how long I have to live.

Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long: and mine
age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man
living is altogether vanity.

For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain:
he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.

Deliver me from all mine offences: and make me not a rebuke unto
the foolish.

I became dumb, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doing.

Take thy plague away from me: I am even consumed by means of thy
heavy hand.

beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment:
every man therefore is but vanity.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling:
hold not thy peace at my tears.

For I am a stranger with thee: and a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.

O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength: before I go
hence, and be no more seen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.

_Domine, refugium_. Psalm xc.

Lord, thou hast been our refuge: from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and
the world were made: thou art God from everlasting, and world
without end.

Thou turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Come again,
ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday: seeing
that is past as a watch in the night.

As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as asleep: and
fade away su
