Psalm 113In xitu Isral
When Israel went out of Egypt : and the
house of Jacob from among a barbarous
people,Judea became His sanctuary : Israel Hisdominion. The sea beheld and fled : Jordanturned back.The mountains skipped like rams :and the hills like lambs of flocks.What aileth
thee, O sea, that thou fleddest : and thou Jordan,
that thou didst turn back?Ye mountains, that yeskipped like rams : and ye hills like lambs of
flocks? At the presence of the Lord the earthwas shaken : at the presence of the God of Jacob,Who turneth the rock into pools of waters : and
the precipice into fountains of waters. Not untous, O Lord, not unto us : but unto Thy name give
glory. For Thy mercy and Thy truth : lest haplythe heathen say: Where is their God? But ourGod is in heaven and on earth : all things soever
He hath willed, He hath done. The idols of thenations are of silver and gold : the works of the
hands of men.They have a mouth, but shall not
speak : eyes have they, and shall not see. Earshave they, and shall not hear : noses have they,and shall not smell.Hands they have, and shallnot feel; feet have they, and shall not walk : they
shall make no sound in their throat. Let thosethat make them become like unto them : and all
that put their trust in them. The house of Israelhath hoped in the Lord : their helper and defender
is He. The house of Aaron hath hoped in theLord : their helper and defender is He.They thatfear the Lord have hoped in the Lord : their
helper and defender is He. The Lord, beingmindful of us : hath blessed us.He hath blessedthe house of Israel : He hath blessed the house of
Aaron.He hath blessed them that fear the Lord :the little with the great. The Lord grant youincrease : to you and to your children. Ye areblessed of the Lord : Who made heaven and the
earth. The heaven of heaven belongeth to theLord : but the earth He gave unto the sons of men.
Not the dead shall praise Thee, O Lord : nor anythat go down to hades. But we the living will
bless the Lord : from henceforth and for ever-more. 44444Glory be to the Father and to the Son :and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in thebeginning, and now and always : and unto the

H ave mercy on me, O God : according toThy great mercy. And according to themultitude of Thy compassions : blot out my

me.Against Thee only have I sinned and donethis evil before Thee : that Thou mightest be
justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art
judged.For behold, I was conceived in iniquities: and in sins did my mother bear me.For behold,Thou hast loved truth : the hidden and secret
things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest
unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop,and I shall be made clean : Thou shalt wash me,

Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of
Thy salvation : and with Thy governing Spirit
establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thyways : and the ungodly shall turn back unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, ThouGod of my salvation : my tongue shall rejoice in

with whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be

Psalm 50Miserrewithout melody
Have mercy on me, O God : according toThy great mercy. And according to the
multitude of Thy compassions : blot out my
transgression.Wash me thoroughly from mine
iniquity : and cleanse me from my sin. For Iknow mine iniquity : and my sin is ever before
me.Against Thee only have I sinned and donethis evil before Thee : that Thou mightest be
justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art
judged.For behold, I was conceived in iniquities: and in sins did my mother bear me.For behold,Thou hast loved truth : the hidden and secret
things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest
unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop,and I shall be made clean : Thou shalt wash me,
and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thoushalt make me to hear joy and gladness : the
bones that be humbled, they shall rejoice. TurnThy face away from my sins : and blot out all
mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, OGod : and renew a right spirit within me.Cast menot away from Thy presence : and take not Thy
Holy Spirit from me.Restore unto me the joy ofThy salvation : and with Thy governing Spirit
establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thyways : and the ungodly shall turn back unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, ThouGod of my salvation : my tongue shall rejoice in
Thy righteousness.OLord, Thou shalt open my
lips : and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.Forif Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it :with whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be
pleased.Asacrifice unto God is a broken spirit :a heart that is broken and humbled God will not
despise.Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasureunto Sion : and let the walls of Jerusalem be
builded. Then shalt Thou be pleased with asacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and
whole-burnt offerings : then shall they offer
bullocks upon Thine altar. 44444Glory be to the
Father and to the Son : and to the Holy Spirit.Asit was in the beginning, and now and always : andunto the ages of ages. Amen. And, in Lent, Ps. 129.2
1Additional preces: see p. 64.2Psalm 129. Out of the depths have Icried unto Thee, O Lord : O Lord, hear
my voice. Let Thine ears be attentive :
to the voice of my supplication. If Thou
shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord : O
Lord, who shall stand? For with Thee
there is forgiveness : for Thy names
sake have I patiently waited for Thee,
O Lord. My soul hath waited patiently
for Thy word : my soul hath hoped in
the Lord. From the morning watch

Psalm 137Confitbor Tibi
I will confess Thee, O Lord, with my wholeheart : and before angels will I chant untoThee. For Thou hast heard all the words of mymouth : I will worship towards Thy holy temple
and confess Thy name. For Thy mercy and forThy truth : for Thou hast magnified Thy holy
name above all that is. In whatsoever day I callupon Thee, quickly hearken unto me : Thou shalt
abundantly endow my soul with Thy strength.
Let all the kings of the earth, O Lord, confessThee : for they have heard all the words of Thy
mouth. And let them sing in the ways of theLord : for great is the glory of the Lord. For theLord is exalted, yet on lowly things He looketh :
and things haughty He knoweth from afar.
Though I should walk in the midst of affliction,
Thou shalt quicken me : against the wrath of
mine enemies hast thou stretched forth Thy
hands, and Thy right hand hath saved me. TheLord shall give recompense in my behalf; O
Lord, Thy mercy endureth for ever : disdain not
the work of Thy hands.44444 Glory be to the Fatherand to the Son : and to the Holy Spirit.As it was

Thou traced out,And hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no guile in my tongue. Behold,Lord, Thou knowest all things, the last and the
