PSALME 114.

A thanksgiving to God for the deliverance of his people from bondage and misery.

WHen Israel came out of Egypt: and the house of Jacob from among the strange people.

2 Juda was his sanctuary: and Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw that and fled: Jordan was driven back.

3 The mountains skipped like rams: and the little hils like young sheep.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest: and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and yee little hils like young sheep?

7 Tremble thou earth at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the God of Jacob.

8 Which turned the hard rock into a standing w••ter: and the flint stone into a springing well.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, at whose presence the earth trembles, who workest salvation and deli∣verance for thy Church in all ages, and didst de∣liver thy people from the bondage of Egypt with a mighty hand, and an arm stretched out in miraculous effects, deliver us from the bon∣dage of sin, from the tyranny of the devill, from the Empire and Dominion of the flesh, that our bodies and souls being mortified, our flesh brought under subjection of the spirit, our appetites made subordinate to reason, and our souls wholly conformable to thy will, our hard stony hearts may be converted into hearts of flesh, and into a springing well bringing forth the waters of repentance, and fruits springing up to life eternall, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALME 115.

A Prayer against idolatry, and for confidence in the true God.

NOt unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise: for thy loving mercy, and for thy truths sake.

2 Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God?

3 As for our God, he is in heaven: he hath done what∣soever pleased him.

4 Their idols are silver and gold: even the work of mens hands.

5 They have mouthes and speak not: eyes have they and see not.

6 They have eares and hear not: noses have they and smell not.

7 They have hands and handle not, feet have they and walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them: and so are all such as put their trust in them.

9 But thou house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their succour and defence.

10 Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

11 Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

12 The Lord hath been mindfull of us, and he shall blesse us: even he shall blesse the house of Israel, hee shall blesse the house of Aaron.

13 He shall blesse them that fear the Lord: both small and great.

14 The Lord shall encrease you more and more: you and your children.

15 Ye are the blessed of the Lord: which made heaven and earth.

16 All the whole heavens are the Lords: the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not thee, O Lord: neither all they that go down into the silence.

18 But we will praise the Lord: from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.

The Prayer.

O Lord God omnipotent, whose seat is in Heaven, and thou hast done whatsoever pleased thee in Heaven and earth, give us thy grace, that in all our troubles we may make

thee our Succour and Defence, and put our trust in thee onely, that we receiving thy mer∣cies and the satisfaction of all our hopes from thy plenteousnesse and loving kindnesse, we may give praise unto thy Name, never ascri∣bing to our selves any honour, or the glory and thanks of any good action or prosperous successe, but to thee who art the Author and Giver of all good things. Preserve us from all dangers of idolatry, from worshipping or lo∣ving any vain imaginations, and making any thing to be our confidence besides thee our God, that so thou mayest be mindfull of us, and blesse us in all our ways, and when we die and go down into the silence, we may have our portion amongst the blessed of the Lord, in the inheritance of thy Kingdome, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
