ot be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 123. Beati omnes. BLESSED are all they that fear the Lord, and walk in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be. 3 Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thine house. 4 Thy children like the olive branches, round about thy table. 5 Lo, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. 8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The Lord pros per you, we wish you good luck in the name of the Lord. Psain 130. De profundis. OUT of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice. 2 O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint. 3 If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it? 4 Forthere is mercy with thee; therefore shalt thou be feared. 5 I look for the Lord; my soul 6 The Lord from out of Sion doth wait for him; in his word shall so bless thee, that thou shalt is my trust. see Jerusalem in prosperity all 6 My soul fleeth unto the Lord thy life long; before the morning-watch, I say, before the morning-watch. 7 Yea, that thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psalm 120. Sape expugnaverunt. MANY a time have they fought against me from my youth up, may Israel now say; Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against 70 Israel, trust in the Lord; for with the Lord there is mercy. and with him is plenteous redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins. Psalm 131. Domine, non est. ORD, I am not high-minded; I have no proud looks. 2 I do not exercise myself in 3 The plowers plowed upon great matters which are too high my back, and made long fur-for me; 3 But I refrain my soul, and rows; 4 But the righteous Lord hath keep it low, like as a child that is hewn the shares of the ungodly weaned from his mother: yea, in pieces. my soul is even as a weaned child. 5 Let them be confounded and turned backward, as many as have evil will at Sion. 6 Let them be even as the grass growing upon the housetops, which withered afore it be plucked up; 40 Israel, trust in the Lord, from this time forth forevermore.
