The
Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
Psalm
2
Quare fremuerunt gentes?
WHY do the heathen so furiously rage together : and why do the people
imagine a vain thing?
2. The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel
together : against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
3. Let us break their bonds asunder : and cast away their cords from
us.
4. He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn : the Lord
shall have them in derision.
5. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath : and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
6. Yet I have set my King : upon my holy hill of Sion.
7. I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said unto me : Thou art
my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
8. Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance: and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9. Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron : and break them in pieces
like a potter’s vessel.
10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings : be learned, ye that are judges
of the earth.
11. Serve the Lord in fear : and rejoice unto him with reverence.
12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way
: if his wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,) blessed are all they that put
their trust in him.
The Collect.
O GOD, who knowest us to
be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty
of our nature we cannot always stand upright; Grant to us such strength and
protection, as may support us in all dangers, and carry us through all
temptations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty
and everliving God, we humbly beseech thy Majesty, that, as thy only-begotten
