II. An act of thanksgiving being the song of David for the Morning.
S••ng praises unto the Lord O ye saints of his, and give thanks to him for a remem∣brance of his holiness. For his wrath indureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his plea∣sure is life: heaviness may indure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Thou Lord hast preserved me this night from the vio∣lence of the spirits of darkness, from all sad casualties, and evil accidents, from the wrath which I have every day deserved: thou hast brought my soul out of hell, thou hast kept my life from them that go down into the pit: thou hast shewed me marvellous great kind∣ness and hast blessed me for ever: the great∣ness of thy glory reacheth unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. Therefore shal every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Allelu••ah.
