Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;

And they shall glorify thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:

Thou art God alone.

Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth:

Unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my
God, with my whole heart;
And I will glorify thy name for

evermore.

For great is thy mercy toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

Thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;

Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

Show me a token for good, That they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, Because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

Having sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:

Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;

Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; My heart shall rejoice in thy salva

tion.

Thirty-fourth Sunday

Morning

Psa. 89. 1-9, 11-18.

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever:

With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever;

Thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen,

I have sworn unto David my servant:

Thy seed will I establish forever, And build up thy throne to all generations.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord;

Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto the Lord? A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,

And to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O Lord God of hosts,
Who is a strong Lord, like unto
thee?

And thy faithfulness is round
about thee.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:

The world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them.

The north and the south, thou hast created them:

Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy

name.

Thou hast a mighty arm;

Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne:

Mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:

They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day;

And in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

For thou art the glory of their strength;

And in thy favor our horn shall
be exalted.

For the Lord is our defense;
And the Holy One of Israel is our
King.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him;

And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

I will set his hand also on the sea,

And his right hand on the rivers.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father,

My God, and the Rock of my salvation.

I also will make him my firstborn,

The highest of the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him for

evermore;

And my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His seed also will I make to endure forever,

And his throne as the days of
heaven.

If his children forsake my law,
And walk not in my judgments;

If they break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.
But my loving-kindness will I
not utterly take from him,
Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
My covenant will I not break,
Nor alter the thing that is gone out
of my lips.

Once have I sworn by my holiness:
I will not lie unto David:

His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne as the sun before
me.

For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past,

And as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;

In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger,

And by thy wrath are we troubled. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,

Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:

We spend our years as a tale that is told.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten,

And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years;

Yet is their strength labor and sorrow;

A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his enemies round about.

His lightnings lightened the world:

away.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

So teach us to number our days, That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Return, O Lord; how long?
And let it repent thee concern-
ing thy servants.

Oh satisfy us early with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,

And the years wherein we have seen evil.

Let thy work appear unto thy servants,

And thy glory unto their children.

And let the beauty of the Lord
our God be upon us;
And establish thou the work of

our hands upon us;

Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Evening

Psa. 97.

The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice;

Let the multitude of isles be glad. Clouds and darkness are round about him:

Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness,

And all the people see his glory.

Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images,

That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard and was glad,

And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

For thou, Lord, art most high above all the earth:

Thou art exalted far above all gods. O ye that love the Lord, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints;

He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in the Lord, ye righteous; And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Thirty-sixth Sunday
Morning

Psa. 94. 1-4, 7-15, 17-23.

O Lord God to whom vengeance belongeth,

Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.

That they are vanity.

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord,

And teachest out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

For the Lord will not cast off his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

But judgment shall return unto righteousness;

And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Unless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had almost dwelt in
silence.

When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts
within me

Thy comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

But the Lord hath been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity,

And shall cut them off in their own wickedness;

The Lord our God shall cut them off.

Evening

Psa. 98. 1-9; 66. 1-4.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song; For he hath done marvelous things: His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

The Lord hath made known his salvation:

His righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel:

All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord, all the earth:

Break forth and sing for joy, yea,
sing praises.
