(1) Antiphon. Psalm 93. (1) LAUDS SERVICE. O God, make speed to save me. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be, &c. Amen. Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah. The Lord is King, and hath put on glorious apparel: the Lord hath put on his apparel, and girded himself with strength He hath made the round world so sure: that it cannot be moved. Ever since the world began, hath thy seat been prepared : thou art from everlasting. The floods are risen, O Lord, the floods have lift up their voice the floods lift up their waves. : The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly: but yet the Lord, who dwelleth on high, is mightier. Thy testimonies, O Lord, are very sure: holiness becometh thine house for ever. Glory be, &c. (0) Ant. (p) Ant. Psalm 100. (2) (p) Ant. (q) Ant. Psalm 63. and 67. (3) O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankfu! unto him, and speak good of his name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth endureth from generation to generation. Glory be, &c. O God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee: my flesh also longeth after thee in a barren and dry land, where no water is. Thus have I looked for thee in holiness: that I might behold thy power and glory. For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself: my lips shall praise thee. As long as I live, will I magnify thee on this manner: and lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness: when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips. (q) Antiphon. (r) Antiphon. Song of the Three Children. (4) VOL. III.—75. Have I not remembered thee in my bed, and thought upon thee when I was waking? Because thou hast been my helper: therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice, My soul hangeth upon thee: thy right hand hath upholden me. These also that seek the hurt of my soul: they shall go under the earth. Let them fall upon the edge of the sword: that they may be a portion for foxes. But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him, shall be commended: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. God be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us; That thy way may be known upon earth: thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise thee. O let the nations rejoice and be glad: for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing. God shall bless us: and all the ends of the world shall fear him. Glory be, &c. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. The three children.
