into the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh reioyce in the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young: even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be alway praising thee.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee: in whose heart are thy wayes.
6 Which going through the vale of misery, use it for a well: and the pooles are filled with water.
7 They will go from strength to strength: and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iacob.
9 Behold, O God, our defender: and look upon the face of thine Anointed.
10 For one day in thy courts: is better than a thousand.
11 I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God: than to dwell in the tents of un∣godlinesse.
12 For the Lord God is a light and defence: the Lord will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a god∣ly life.

The Prayer.
O Lord God of hosts, who dwellest in the heavens, seated in essentiall and eternall felicities; fill our hearts with desires and longings to enter into those Courts where thou sittest, at∣tended with the beauteous orders of Angells, and millions of beautified spirits; and that our de∣sires may receive infinite satisfactions, give us thy helpe, that we going through the vale of mi∣sery, the pooles may be filled with water, our hearts and eyes may runne over with teares of repentance and overflow with sorrow and contri∣tion for our sinnes, that we living a godly life, going from strength to strength, from vertue to vertue, at last we may appeare in Sion unto the God of Gods, beholding the face of thine anoin∣ted, thy Christ, and our Iesus, and may dwell one day in thy Courts, even all the long day of eter∣nity, through the same Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
