From Psalm 141.

1 Lord, I cry unto thee' make | haste - unto | me give ear unto my voice, | when I cry un to thee.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before | thee as | incense || and the lifting up of my hands' even - ing sac rifice.

6 Which shall not | break my | head | for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 7 But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord! in thee is my trust, leave not my soul destitute

1 I will extol

thee, my God O | king || and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless thee || and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly | to be | praised and his greatness is un| searchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works-to another and shall de | clare thy mighty |

acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy | majesty and of thy | wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terri ble | acts || and I will declare thy greatness.

7 They shall a bundant ly | utter || the | memory of thy great goodness.

8 And shall sing || of thy | right |--eous |

ness.

9 The Lord is gracious, and | full of com | passion || slow to | anger- and of great mercy. 10 The Lord' is | good to | all || and his tender mercies are o all his works.

12 They shall speak of the glory of thy | kingdom and | talk of thy | power;

13 To make known to the sons of men' his mighty acts || and the glorious | majesty of his kingdom.

14 Thy kingdom is an ever | last - ing | kingdom and thy dominion endureth through out all gen erations.

15 The Lord' upholdeth | all that | fall || and raiseth up all those that be | bowed down.

16 The eyes of all wait up on thee || and thou givest them their | meat in | due | season.

17 Thou openest | thine | hand || and satisfiest the desire of every | living | thing.

18 The Lord is righteous in | all his | ways || and holy in all his works.

20 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him || he also will hear their | cry-and will save them.
