the princes of Judah
their counsel: the princes of Zabulon, and the princes of Nephthali.

28 Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee: stablish the thing,
O God, that thou hast wrought in us,

29 For thy temple's sake at Jerusalem: so shall kings bring presents
unto thee.

30 When the company of the spear-men and multitude of the mighty
are scattered abroad among the beasts of the people, so that they
humbly bring pieces of silver: and when he hath scattered the
people that delight in war;

31 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: the Morians land shall
soon stretch out her hands unto God.

32 Sing unto God, O ye kingdoms of the earth: O sing praises unto
the Lord;

33 Who sitteth in the heavens over all from the beginning: lo, he
doth send out his voice, yea, and that a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe ye the power to God over Israel: his worship and
strength is in the clouds.

35 O God, wonderful art thou in thy holy places: even the God of
Israel, he will give strength and power unto his people; blessed
be God.

DAY 13 EVENING PRAYER

PSALM 69. _Salvum me fac_.

Save me, O God: for the waters are come in, even unto my soul.

2 I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is: I am come
into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

3 I am weary of crying; my throat is dry: my sight faileth me for
waiting so long upon my God.

4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my
head: they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless,
are mighty.

5 I paid them the things that I never took: God, thou knowest my
simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee.

6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed
for my cause: let not those that seek thee be confounded through
me, O Lord God of Israel.

7 And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof: shame hath covered
my face.

8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren: even an alien unto my
mother's children.

9 For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me: and the rebukes
of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me.

10 I wept, and chastened myself with fasting: and that was turned
to my reproof.

11 I put on sackcloth also: and they jested upon me.

12 They that sit in the gate speak against me: and the drunkards
make songs upon me.

13 But, Lord, I make my prayer unto thee: in an acceptable time.

14 Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy: even in the
truth of thy salvation.
