Morning Prayer.

PSALME 30.

A Prayer for deliverance from sicknesse and death and damnation.

I Will magnifie thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up: and not made my foes to triumph over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee: and thou hast healed me.

3 Thou Lord hast brought my soul out of hell: thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises unto the Lord (O ye Saints of his:) and give thanks to him for a remembrance of his holinesse.

5 For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life: heavinesse may endure for a night, but joy commeth in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be remo∣ved: thou Lord of thy goodnesse hadst made my hill so strong.

7 Thou didst turn thy face (from me:) and I was troubled.

8 Then cried I unto thee, O Lord: and gat me unto my Lord right humbly.

9 What profit is there in my bloud: when I go down to the pit?

10 Shall the dust give thanks unto thee: or shall it de∣clare thy truth?

11 Heare, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord be thou my helper.

12 Thou hast turned my heavinesse into joy: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and g••rded me with gladnesse.

13 Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing: O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

The Prayer.

O Lord our God whose mercy is infinite, but thy wrath endureth but the twink∣ling of an eye, and even in this short time of thy wrath thou remembrest mercy, we cry un∣to thee, and addresse our selves unto thee right humbly: O turn not thy face away from us; keep our life from them that goe downe into the pit, and preserve our souls from hell; and although thou sometimes sendest heavinesse unto us, and trouble upon our loyns, yet let it be but as for a night, let thy mercy dawn upon us, and shine as in a glorious morning; for thou art more pleased in demonstrations of thy mercy, then in shewing thy displeasure. O Lord heal us, and be mercifull unto us, and save us, turn our heavinesse into joy, and gird us with gladnesse, so shall we give thanks unto thee for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALME 31.

A prayer for protection against our enemies and all dangers of soule and body, and specially at the houre of death.

IN thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: let me never bee put to confusion, deliver me in thy righteousnesse.

2 Bow down thine ear to me: make haste to deliver me.

3 And be thou my strong rock, and the house of de∣fence: that thou maist save me.

4 For thou art my strong rock, and my castle: be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy names sake.

5 Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth.

7 I have hated them that hold of superstitious vanities: and my trust hath been in the Lord.

8 I will be glad, and rejoyce in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble, and hast known my soule in adversities.

9 Thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the ene∣my: but hast set my feet in a large room.

10 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: and mine eye is consumed for very heavinesse: yea, my soul and my body.

11 For my life is waxen old with heavinesse: and my yeares with mourning.

12 My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquity: and my bones are consumed.

13 I became a reproofe among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and they of mine ac∣quaintance were afraid of mee, and they that did see me without, conveyed themselves from me.

14 I am clean forgotten as a dead man out of minde: I am become like a broken vessell.

15 For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude: and feare is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsell to take away my life.

16 But my hope hath been in thee, O Lord: I have said, Thou art my God.

17 My time is in thy hand, deliver me from the hand of mine enemies: and from them that persecute me.

18 Shew thy servant the light of thy countenance: and save me for thy mercies sake.

19 Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have cal∣led upon thee: let the ungodly be put to confusion, and be put to silence in the grave.

20 Let the lying lips be put to silence: which cruelly,

disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

21 O how plentifull is thy goodnesse, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee: and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sonnes of men!

22 Thou shalt hide them privily by thine own presence, from the provoking of all men: thou shalt keep them se∣cretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

23 Thanks be to the Lord: for he hath shewed mee marvellous great kindnesse in a strong city.

24 And when I made haste, I said: I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes.

25 Neverthelesse thou heardest the voyce of my pray∣er: when I cried unto thee.

26 O love the Lord, all ye his Saints: for the Lord pre∣serveth them that are faithfull, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.

27 Be strong, and he shall stablish your heart: all yee that put your trust in the Lord.

The Prayer.

O God our rock & the house of our defence, let us be glad and rejoyce in thy mercies and salvation. Consider, O Lord, our trouble, and in thy pity know our souls beset round a∣bout with enemies and adversities: Shut us not up into the hands of our enemies, nor our lives within the grave. Our time, O Lord, is in thy hand, to thee pertain the issues of life and death, and though our strength hath failed us because of our iniquity, and our bones are vex∣ed by reason of our sins, yet our hope is in thee, O Lord, we have said, Thou art our God: deliver us from all our enemies bodily and

ghostly: turn our sadnesse into joy, and our mourning into gladnesse, lest our bodies and soules be consumed for very heavinesse. Let us not be put to confusion nor to silence in the grave, but let us see thy marvellous loving kindnesse, and partake of thy plentifull good∣nesse which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, even before the sonnes of men. O let us never be cast out of the sight of thine eyes, but deal with us in mercy and loving kindnesse. Into thy hands we commend our spirits, re∣signing our selves up to thy providence and disposition, either to life or death, as thou in thy infinite wisdome shalt finde most propor∣tionable to thy glory, and our eternall good, beseeching thee to be our guide to death, and to lead us for thy Name sake to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
