Psalm 119, x. Clamavi in toto corde meo.

CALL with my whole heart; * hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes. Yea, even unto thee do I call; * help me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

Early in the morning do I cry unto thee for in thy word is my trust. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, * that Imight be occupied in thy words. Hear my voice, O Lord, according unto thy loving-kindness: * quicken me, according as thou art wont.

They draw nigh that of malice persecute me : * and are far from thy law.

Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord; * for all thy commandments are true.

As concerning thy testimonies, I have known long since that thou hast grounded them for ever.

O consider mine adversity, and deliver me: * for I do not forget thy law.

Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me: * quicken me according to thy word.

Health is far from the ungodly : * for they regard not thy statutes.

Great is thy mercy, O Lord : * quicken me as thou art wont.

Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me; * yet do I not swerve from thy testimonies.

It grieveth me when I see the transgressors; * because they keep not thy law.

Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments: * O quicken me, according to thy loving-kindness.

Thy word is true from everlasting : * all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for evermore.

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.

Psalm 119, xi. Principes persecuti sunt.

PRINCES have persecuted me without a cause but my heart

standeth in awe of thy word.

I am as glad of thy word, * as one that findeth great spoils.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them :* but thy law do I love.

Seven times a day do I praise thee* because of thy righteous judgments.

Great is the peace that they have who love thy law : * and they are not offended at it.

Lord, I have looked for thy saving health, and done after thy commandments.

My soul hath kept thy testimonies ;* and loved them exceedingly.

I have kept thy commandments and

testimonies : * for all my ways are before thee.

Let my complaint come before thee, O Lord: * give me understanding according to thy word.

Let my supplication come before thee deliver me according to thy word.

My lips shall speak of thy praise, * when thou hast taught me thy statutes. Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word for all thy commandments are righteous.

Let thine hand help me ; * for I have chosen thy commandments.

I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord; and in thy law is my delight.

O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and thy judgments shall help

me.

I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost; * O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

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.

The Epistle. 1 Cor. 5. 6.

NOW ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
