XII.

O Lord, thy word endureth for ever in heaven.

2 Thy truth also remaineth from one generation to another: thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth.

3 They continue this day according to thine ordinance: for all things serve thee.

4 If my delight had not been in thy law: I should have perished in my trouble.

5 I will never forget thy commandments: for with them thou hast quickned me.

6 I am thine, oh save me: for I have sought thy com∣mandments.

7 The ungodly laid wait for me, to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

8 I see that all things come to an end: but thy com∣mandment is exceeding broad.

The Prayer.

O Lord our Guide, thou hast laid the Foun∣dation of the earth sure, and it abideth, but thy Word endureth for ever in Heaven, & though Heaven and earth shall passe away, yet one title of thy Word shal never passe in vain & unaccomplished; teach us to obey thee with

a regular obedience, that since all the creatures continue according to thine ordinance & serve thee, we only may not disobey thee and disturb the order of Creation by a rebellion of crea∣tures against their Maker, lest thy wrath arise upon us, and we perish in our trouble. Have mercy upon us, and deliver us from thy wrath, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
