I said LORD be merciful † unto me; heal my soul for I have sinned against thee.
PSALM 41. Beatus qui intelligit
1 BLESSED is he that considereth the poor and needy:
the LORD shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
2 The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, that he may be blessed upon earth:
and deliver no thou him into the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD comfort him when he lieth sick upon his bed:
make thou all his bed in his sickness.
4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:
heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me:
When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:
and his heart conceiveth falsehood within himself; and when he cometh forth, he telleth it.
7 All mine enemies whisper together against me even against me:
do they imagine this evil:
8 Let the sentence of guiltiness proceed against him:
and now that he lieth, let him rise up no more.
9 Yea, even mine own familiar friend whom trusted:
who did also eat of my bread, hath laid great wait for me.
10 But be thou merciful unto me, O LORD:
raise thou me up again, and I shall reward them.
11 By this I know thou favourest me:
that mine enemy doth not triumph against me.
12 And when I am in my health, thou upholdest me:
and shalt set me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel:
world without end. Amen.
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.
I said LORD be merciful † unto me; heal my soul for I have sinned against thee.
Like as the hart † desireth the water-brooks so longeth my soul after thee O God.
PSALM 42. Quemadmodum
1 LIKE as the hart desireth the water-brooks:
so longeth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God:
when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night:
while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
4 Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself:
for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the house of God;
5 In the voice of praise and thanksgiving:
among such as keep holy-day.
6 Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul:
and why art thou so disquieted within me?
7 Put thy trust in God:
for I will yet give him thanks for the help of his countenance.
8 My God, my soul is vexed within me:
therefore will I remember thee concerning the land of Jordan, and the little hill of Hermon.
9 One deep calleth another, because of the noise of thy water-pipes:
all thy waves and storms are gone over me.
10 The LORD hath granted his loving-kindness in the day-time:
and in the night season did I sing of him, and made my prayer unto the God of my life.
11 I will say unto the God of my strength, Why hast thou forgotten me:
why go I thus heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?
12 My bones are smitten asunder as with a sword:
while mine enemies that trouble me cast me in the teeth;
13 Namely, while they say daily unto me:
Where is now thy God?
14 Why art thou so vexed, O my soul:
and why art thou so disquieted within me?
15 O put thy trust in God:
for I will yet thank him, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.
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.
Like as the hart † desireth the water-brooks so longeth my soul after thee O God.
For thou art the God † of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee?
PSALM 43. Judica me, Deus
1 GIVE sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people:
O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.
2 For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou put me from thee:
and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?
3 O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me:
and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.
4 And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness:
and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.
5 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul:
and why art thou so disquieted within me?
6 O put thy trust in God:
for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.
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.
For thou art the God † of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee?
Have mercy upon me † and hearken unto my prayer
PSALM 4. Cum invocarem
1 HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hearken unto my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour:
and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after falsehood?
3 Know this also, that the LORD hath chosen to himself the man that is godly:
when I call upon the LORD he will hear me.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not:
commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness:
and put your trust in the LORD.
6 There be many that say:
Who will show us any good?
7 LORD, lift thou up:
the light of thy countenance upon us.
8 Thou hast put gladness in my heart:
since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.
9 I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest:
for it is thou, LORD, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
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.
Have mercy upon me † and hearken unto my prayer
O LORD our Governor † how excellent is thy Name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!
PSALM 8. Domine, Dominus noster
1 O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world:
thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies:
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers:
the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him:
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 Thou madest him lower than the angels:
to crown him with glory and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands:
and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen:
yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea:
and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Governor:
how excellent is thy Name in all the world!
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.
O LORD our Governor † how excellent is thy Name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!

Hymn: Splendor Paterne Glorie
O splendor of God's glory bright,
O Thou that bringest light from light;
O Light of light, light's living spring,
O day, all days illumining.
O Thou true Sun, on us Thy glance
Let fall in royal radiance;
The Spirit's sanctifying beam
Upon our earthly senses stream.
The Father, too, our prayers implore,
Father of glory evermore;
The Father of all grace and might,
To banish sin from our delight.
To guide whate'er we nobly do,
With love all envy to subdue;
To make ill fortune turn to fair,
And give us grace our wrongs to bear.
Our mind be in His keeping placed
Our body true to Him and chaste,
Where only faith her fire shall feed,
To burn the tares of Satan's seed.
And Christ to us for food shall be,
From Him our drink that welleth free,
The Spirit's wine, that maketh whole,
And, mocking not, exalts the soul.
Rejoicing may this day go hence;
Like virgin dawn our innocence,
Like fiery noon our faith appear,
Nor known the gloom of twilight drear.
Morn in her rosy car is borne;
Let Him come forth our perfect morn,
The Word in God the Father one,
The Father perfect in the Son.
All laud to God the Father be;
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.

The Song of Mary Magnificat
Luke 1:46-55
Blessed be † the Lord God of Israel* for he hath visited and redeemed his people.
MY soul doth magnify the Lord, * and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, * and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him * throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm; * he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, * as he promised to our forefathers,
Abraham and his seed for ever.
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.
Blessed be † the Lord God of Israel* for he hath visited and redeemed his people.
The Apostles' Creed
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
The holy Catholic Church;
The Communion of Saints:
The Forgiveness of sins:
The Resurrection of the body:
And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Amen.
