PSALME 53. (Book 53)

A Prayer for Redemption of the Church from the persecution of Atheists, and Persons irreligious.

EVENING PRAYER. (Book 53)

THe foolish body hath said in his heart: There is no God.

2 Corrupt are they and become abominable in their wickednesse: there is none that doth good.

3 God looked downe from heaven upon the children of men: to see if there were any that would understand and seek after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is also none that doth good, no not one.

5 Are not they without understanding that work wickednes: eating up my people as if they would eat bread? they haue not called vpon God.

6 They were afraid where no fear was: for God hath broken the bones of him that besieged thee, thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despised them.

7 Oh that the salvation were given unto Is∣rael out of Sion: oh that the Lord would deliver his people out of captivitie!

8 Then should Iacob rejoyce: and Israel should be right glad.

The Prayer.

O Lord God who dwellest in heaven, and lookest downe from thence upon the chil∣dren of men, be pleased to give salvation to thy people out of Sion thy holy habitation, and pre∣serve thy Church from the malice of such per∣sons as have not called upon thee, but would eate up thy people, as they would eate bread; that we being delivered from the captivity of sinnes & miseries, may serve thee with freedome of spirit, in joy and spirituall rejoycing, all the dayes of our life, through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.
