III.

O Do well unto thy servant: that I may live, and keep thy word.

2 Open thou mine eyes: that I may see the wonderous things of thy law.

3 I am a stranger upon earth: O hide not thy commandments from me.

4 My soul breaketh out for the very servent desire: that it hath alway unto thy iudgements.

5 Thou hast rebuked the proud: and cursed are they that do erre from thy commandments.

6 O turn from me shame and rebuke: for I have kept thy testimonies.

7 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.

8 For thy testimonies are my delight: and my counsellers.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, our Father and our Guardian, we are strangers upon the earth, farre removed from our country, and we are in darknesse and walke in the shadow of death, let not this dark∣nesse seize upon our soules, hide not thy comman∣dements from us, but open our eyes with the light of thy holy Spirit, that we may see the won∣drous things of thy law, and admire thy glories,

and adore thy might, and obey all thy righteous precepts: and although our hearts be already en∣kindled with the love of thy law, yet make our desires to serve thee more fervent, that our luke∣warmnesse may arise up to the flames and ardors of a Cherubim, that while we are busied in thy statutes, making them our delight and our counsel∣lors, shame and rebuke may alwayes be turned frō us, and we ever reioyce with hope and confidence in thee, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
