him upon his holy hill:
for the Lord our God is holy.
PSALM 100. _Jubilate Deo_.
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with
gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
2 Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture.
3 O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of his
Name.
4 For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is ever lasting: and his
truth endureth from generation to generation.
PSALM 101. _Misericordiam et judicium_.
My song shall be of mercy and judgement: unto thee, O Lord, will
I sing.
2 O let me have understanding: in the way of godliness.
3 When wilt thou come unto me: I will walk in my house with a
perfect heart.
4 I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of
unfaithfulness: there shall no such cleave unto me.
5 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
person.
6 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour: him will I destroy.
7 Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach: I will not
suffer him.
8 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land: that they
may dwell with me.
9 Whoso leadeth a godly life: he shall be my servant.
10 There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
11 I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land:
that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
DAY 20 MORNING PRAYER
PSALM 102. _Domine, exaudi_.
Hear my prayer, O Lord: and let my crying come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline
thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.
3 For my days are consumed away like smoke: and my bones are burnt
up as it were a fire-brand.
4 My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass: so that I
forget to eat my bread.
5 For the voice of my groaning: my bones will scarce cleave to
my flesh.
6 I am become like a pelican in the wilderness: and like an owl
that is in the desert.
7 I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow: that sitteth
alone upon the house-top.
8 Mine enemies revile me all the day long: and they that are mad
upon me are sworn together against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes as it were bread: and mingled my drink
with weeping;
10 And that because of thine indig
