Morning Prayer.

Confitemini Domino. Pfal. 105.

Give thanks unto the Lord, and call upon his
Name: tell the people what things he hath

done.

2 O let your fongs be of him, and praise him: and let your talking be of all his wondrous works.

3 Rejoyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them rejoyce that feek the Lord.

4 Seek the Lord and his ftrength: feek his face ever

more.

5 Remember the marvellous works that he hath done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

60 ye feed of Abraham his fervant: ye children of Jacob his chofen.

7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the world.

8 He hath been always mindful of his covenant and mife: that he made to a thoufand generations;

pro

9 Even the covenant that he made with Abraham: and the oath that he fware unto Ifaac;

10 And appointed the fame unto Jacob for a law: and to Ifrael for an everlasting teftament,

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan : the lot of your inheritance.

12 When there were yet but a few of them: and they ftrangers in the land;

13 What time as they went from one nation to another: from one kingdom to another people;

14 He fuffered no man to do them wrong: but reproved even kings for their fakes.

15 Touch not mine anointed: and do my prophets no harm.

16 Moreover he called for a dearth upon the land: and deftroyed all the provision of bread.

17 But he had fent a man before them: even Jofeph, who was fold to be a bond-fervant;

18 Whofe feet they hurt in the ftocks: the iron entred into his foul;

19 Until the time came that his caufe was known: the word of the Lord tried him.

20 The king fent, and delivered him: the prince of the people let him go free.

21 He made him lord alfo of his house: and ruler of all his fubftance.

22 That he might inform his princes after his will: and teach his fenatours wisdom.

123 Ifrael alfo came into Egypt: and Jacob was a ftranger in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his people exceedingly : and made them stronger then their enemies;

25 Whofe heart turned fo, that they hated his people: and dealt untruly with his fervants.

26 Then fent he Mofes his fervant: and Aaron whom he had chofen.

27 And thefe fhewed his tokens among them: and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He fent darkness, and it was dark: and they were not obedient unto his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood: and flew their fifh. 30 Their land brought forth frogs: yea, even in their ings chamber.

31 He fpake the word, and there came all manner of flies: and lice in all their quarters.

32 He gave them hailstones for rain: and flames of fire in their land.

33 He fimote their vines alfo and fig-trees: and deftroyed the trees that were in their coafts.

34 He fpake the word, and the grafhoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable: and did eat up all the grafs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

35 He fmote all the firft-born in their land: even the chief of all their strength.

T

36 He brought them forth alfo with filver and gold: there was not one feeble perfon among their tribes.

37 Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were afraid of them.

38 He spread out a cloud to be a covering and fire to give light in the night-feafon.

39 At their defire he brought quails: and he filled them with the bread of heaven,

40 He opened the rock of ftone, and the waters flowed out: fo that rivers ran in the dry places.

41 For why? he remembred his holy promife: and Abraham his fervant.

42 And he brought forth his people with joy and his chofen with gladness;

43 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they took the labours of the people in possession;

44. That they might keep his ftatutes: and obferve his laws.

Evening Prayer.

Confitemini Domino. Pfal. 106.

Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious and his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Who can exprefs the noble acts of the Lord: or fhew forth all his praife?

3 Bleffed are they that alway keep judgment: and do' righteoufnefs.

4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O vifit me with thy falvation.

5 That I may fee the felicity of thy chofen: and rejoyce in the gladnefs of thy people, and give thanks with thine inheritance.

6 We have finned with our fathers: we have done amifs, and dealt wickedly.

7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance: but were disobedient at the fea, even at the Red fea.

8 Nevertheless he helped them for his Names fake: that he might make his power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red fea alfo, and it was dried up: fo he led them through the deep, as through a wildernefs.

10 And he faved them from the adverfaries hand: and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.

11 As for thofe that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words: & fang praife unto him. 13 But within a while they forgat his works: and would not abide his counfel

14 But luft came upon them in the wilderness: and they tempted God in the defert.

15 And he gave them their defire: and fent leannefs withall into their foul.

16 They angred Mofes alfo in the tents: and Aaron the faint of the Lord.

17 So the earth opened, and fwallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiram.

18 And the fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt up the ungodly.

19 They made a calf in Horeb: and worshipped the molten image.

20. Thus they turned their glory: into the fimilitude a calf that eateth hay.

21 And they forgat God their Saviour: who had done fo great things in Egypt;

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham: and fearful things by the Red fea.

23 So he faid he would have deftroyed them, had not Mofes his chofen ftood before him in the gap: to turn away his wrathful indignation, left he should destroy them.

24 Yea, they thought fcorn of that pleasant land: and gave no credence unto his word.

25 But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

26 Then lift he up his hand against them: to overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 To caft out their feed among the nations: and to fcatter them in the lands.

28 They joyned themselves unto Baal-peor and ate the offerings of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their own inventions: and the plague was great among them.

30 Then ftood up Phinees and prayed: and fo the plague ceafed.

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness: among all pofterities for evermore.

32 They angred him alfo at the waters of ftrife: fo that he punifhed Mofes for their fakes,

33 Because they provoked his fpirit: fo that he fpake unadvifedly with his lips.

34 Neither destroyed they the heathen: as the Lord commanded them;

35 But were mingled among the heathen: and learned their works.

36 Infomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay: yea, they offered their fons and their daughters unto devils,

37 And fhed innocent blood, even the blood of their fons and of their daughters: whom they offered unto
