Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hosts, he

is the King of glory.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE SIXTH SELECTION.

(Psalm 103.)

EXHORTATION TO BLESS GOD.

BLESS the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always chide; neither will he keep his anger for ever.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisi

ble, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE SEVENTH SELECTION.

(Psalms 26, 50, and 138.)

A MORNING PRAYER.

EXAMINE me, O Lord, and prove me: try my thoughts and my heart.

For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes: and I walk in thy truth.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I go to thine altar, O Lord:

To utter the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lord, I love the house where thou dost abide, and the place where thine honor dwelleth.

I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

My feet tread in a straight path: in the congregation will I bless the Lord.

THE mighty God, even the Lord, speaks, and calls the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines. Our God comes, and does not keep silence: a fire devours before him, and a tempest rages around him.

He calls to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will admonish thee: I am God, even thy God. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor hegoats out of thy folds.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High:

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

I WILL praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth.

In the day when I cried, thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

Though the Lord is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The Lord will be sufficient for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the work of thine own hands.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only wise God,

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE EIGHTH SELECTION.

(Psalms 5 and 19.)

A MORNING PRAYER.

GIVE ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

As for me, I will come into thy house in the
