Psalm
120
Ad Dominum
WHEN I was in trouble I called upon the Lord : and he heard me.
2. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips : and from a deceitful
tongue.
3. What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false tongue :
even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals.
4. Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech : and to have
my habitation among the tents of Kedar.
5. My soul hath long dwelt among them : that are enemies unto peace.
6. I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof : they make
them ready to battle.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, who has given
thine only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin, and also an ensample of
godly life; Give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his
inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavour ourselves to follow the blessed
steps of his most holy life; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
