Day 5 Morning Prayer
Psalm 24
Domini est terra
- THE earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is: the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein.
- For he hath founded it upon the seas: and prepared it upon the floods.
- Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord: or who shall rise up in his holy place?
- Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.
- He shall receive the blessing from the Lord: and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
- This is the generation of them that seek him: even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob.
- Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.
- Who is the King of glory: it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle.
- Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.
- Who is the King of glory: even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Psalm 25
Ad te, Domine, levavi
- UNTO thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me.
- For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed: but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion.
- Shew me thy ways, O Lord: and teach me thy paths.
- Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me: for thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long.
- Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy tender mercies: and thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old.
- O remember not the sins and offences of my youth: but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness.
- Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
- Them that are meek shall he guide in judgement: and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way.
- All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth: unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
- For thy Name's sake, O Lord: be merciful unto my sin, for it is great.
- What man is he that feareth the Lord: him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
- His soul shall dwell at ease: and his seed shall inherit the land.
- The secret of the Lord is among them that fear him: and he will shew them his covenant.
- Mine eyes are ever looking unto the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
- Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me: for I am desolate and in misery.
- The sorrows of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my troubles.
- Look upon my adversity and misery: and forgive me all my sin.
- Consider mine enemies, how many they are: and they bear a tyrannous hate against me.
- O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in thee.
- Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me: for my hope hath been in thee.
- Deliver Israel, O God: out of all his troubles.
Psalm 26
Judica me, Domine
- BE THOU my judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently: my trust hath been also in the Lord, therefore shall I not fall.
- Examine me, O Lord, and prove me: try out my reins and my heart.
- For thy loving-kindness is ever before mine eyes: and I will walk in thy truth.
- I have not dwelt with vain persons: neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.
- I have hated the congregation of the wicked: and will not sit among the ungodly.
- I will wash my hands in innocency, O Lord: and so will I go to thine altar.
- That I may shew the voice of thanksgiving: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
- Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house: and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
- O shut not up my soul with the sinners: nor my life with the blood-thirsty.
- In whose hands is wickedness: and their right hand is full of gifts.
- But as for me, I will walk innocently: O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.
- My foot standeth right: I will praise the Lord in the congregations.
