Morning Prayer.

PSALME 75.

A Prayer against the terrors of the day of Judge∣ment.

VNto thee (O God) doe we give thanks: yea, unto thee doe we give thanks.

2 Thy name also is so nigh: and that do thy wondrous works declare.

3 When I receive the congregation: I shall judge according unto right.

4 The earth is weak, and all the inhabiters thereof: I bear up the pillars of it.

5 I said unto the fools, Deal not so madly: and to the ungodly, Set not up your horn.

6 Set not up your horn on high: and speak not with a stiffe neck.

7 For promotion cometh neither from the East nor from the West: nor yet from the South.

8 And why? God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

9 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he poureth out of the same.

10 As for the dregs thereof: all the ungodly of the earth shall drink them, and suck them out.

11 But I will talk of the God of Jacob: and praise him for ever.

12 All the horns of the ungodly also will I break: and the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

The Prayer.

O Lord God the Judge of all the world, from whom commeth all promotion and all punishment, have mercy upon us now, at the hour of death, and in the day of Judgement, when thou shalt judge all the congregations of men and Angels according unto right: O give us grace to expect thy comming in humi∣lity and charity, that we be not stiffe-necked and exalted in our own opinions and concep∣tions, but may submit to thy yoke with meek∣nesse and obedience, that when thou shalt pour forth the cup of thy vengeance upon the un∣godly, we may not drink or tast of the dregs of it, but may sit down at thy Table in the Supper of the Lamb, and be satisfied with the blessings of eternity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALME 76.

A prayer that we may fear Gods Judgements, and be freed from the terrors of men.

IN Jury is God know: his name is great in Israel.

2 At Salem is his tabernacle: and his dwelling in Sion.

3 There brake he the arrows of the bow: the shield, of sword, and the battell.

4 Thou art of more honour and might: then the hils of the robbers.

5 The proud are robbed, they have slept their sleep: and all the men (whose hands were mighty) have found nothing.

6 At thy rebuke (O God of Jacob:) both the chariot and horse are fallen.

7 Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause thy judgement to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still.

9 When God arose to judgement: and to help all the meek upon earth.

10 The fiercenesse of man shall turn to thy praise: and the fiercenesse of them shalt thou refrain.

11 Promise unto the Lord your God, and keep it, all ye that be round about him: bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He shall refrain the spirit of Princes: and is won∣derfull among the Kings of the earth.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, whose dwelling is in heaven, and thy Name is great in all the world, plant the dread and reverence of thee and thy power in our hearts: let thy threatnings and

thy judgements which are heard from heaven, and executed upon disobedient and gainsaying people, make us to tremble at the remem∣brance of our sins, and in the consideration of our weaknesses and demerits: and let thy mercies and the remembrance of thy infinite loving kindnesses make our hearts still, full of eavennesse and tranquillity, that we may not fear the fiercenesse of man, or the wrath of those, whose spirits thou canst refrain, lest we be disturbed in our duties towards thee, but let us so fear thee, that we may never offend against thee, but may passe from fear to love, from apprehensions of thy wrath, to the sense and comforts of thy mercies, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALME 77.

A Prayer that the experience of Gods goodnesse may produce hope in us, and remove from us all fearfulnesse and doubting.

I Will cry unto God with my voyce: even unto God will I cry with my voyce, and he shall hearken unto me.

2 In the time of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran and ceased not, in the night season my soul refu∣sed comfort.

3 When I am in heavinesse I will think upon God: when my heart is vexed, I will complain.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so feeble that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the dayes of old: and the yeares that are past.

6 I call to remembrance my song: and in the night I

commune with mine own heart, and search out my spirits.

7 Will the Lord absent himself for ever: and will hee be no more intreated?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever: and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and will he shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure?

10 And I said, It is mine own infirmity: but I will re∣member the yeares of the right hand of the most highest.

11 I will remember the works of the Lord: and call to minde thy wonders of old time.

12 I will think also of all thy works: and my talking shall be of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is holy: who is so great a God (as our God?)

14 Thou art the God that doth wonders: and hast de∣clared thy power among the people.

15 Thou hast mightily delivered thy people: even the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 The clouds poured out water, the aire thundred: and thine arrows went abroad.

18 The voyce of thy thunder was heard round about: the lightnings shone upon the ground, the earth was mo∣ved, and shook withall.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters: and thy footsteps are not known.

20 Thou leddest thy people like sheep: by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

The Prayer.

O God who dost wonders, and hast declared thy power amongst all people, let the ob∣servation of thy mercies, and loving kindnesses, make such deep impression in our hearts and

memories, that when we are in heavinesse, we may remember the years of thy right hand, and call to mind the wonders of old time, that al∣though thou somtimes withdrawest the bright∣nesse of thy countenance from us, and shuttest up thy loving kindnesse in a short displeasure, yet the experience of thy old mercies, which never fail, may sustain our infirmities, and the expectation of thy loving kindnesses, may cure all our impatience, till in thy due time, the sense of thy favours may actually relieve all our di∣stresses, and thy right hand lead us like sheep into the folds of eternall rest and security, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
