The Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity.
Psalm 124
Nisi quia Dominus
1. IF THE Lord himself had not
been on our side, now may Israel say : if the Lord himself had not been on our
side, when men rose up against us;
2. They had swallowed us up
quick : when thy were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3. Yea, the waters had drowned
us : and the stream had gone over our soul.
4. The deep waters of the
proud : had gone even over our soul.
5. But praised be the Lord :
who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6. Our soul is escaped even as
a bird out of the snare of the fowler : the snare is broken, and we are
delivered .
7. Our help standeth in the
Name of the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth.
The Collect.
O GOD, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all
godliness; Be ready, we beseech thee, to hear the devout prayers of thy Church;
and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
