Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and God the Holy Ghost, to pity me, and to have
mercy upon me.

Cum invocarem. Psalm iv.
HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
* thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and
hearken unto my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour, * and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after
falsehood?
Know this also, that the LORD hath chosen to himself the man that
is godly; * when I call upon the LORD he will hear me.
Stand in awe, and sin not; * commune with your own heart, and in
your chamber, and be still.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, * and put your trust in the
LORD.
There be many that say, * Who will show us any good?
LORD, lift thou up * the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart; * yea, more than when their
corn and wine and oil increase.
I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; * for it is thou,
LORD, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
In te,
Domine, speravi. Psalm xxxi.
IN thee, O LORD, have I put my trust; let me never be put to
confusion; * deliver me in thy righteousness.
Bow down thine ear to me; * make haste to deliver me.
And be thou my strong rock, and house of defence,
* that thou mayest save me.
For thou art my strong rock, and my castle: * be thou also my
guide, and lead me for thy Name's sake.
Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; * for
thou art my strength.
Into thy hands I commend my spirit; * for thou hast redeemed me,
O LORD, thou God of truth.
Qui habitat. Psalm xci.
WHOSO dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, * shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty.
I will say unto the LORD, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; *
my God, in him will I trust.
For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter, * and
from the noisome pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe
under his feathers; * his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and
buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, * nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the
sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.
A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; * but it shall not come nigh thee.
Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, * and see the reward of
the ungodly.
For thou, LORD, art my hope; * thou hast set thine house of defense
very high.
There shall no evil happen unto thee, * neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, * to keep thee in
all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands, * that thou hurt not thy
foot against a stone.
Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: * the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver
him; * I will set him up, because he hath known my Name.
He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; * yea, I am with him
in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.
With long life will I satisfy him, * and show him my salvation.
Ecce nunc. Psalm cxxxiv.
BEHOLD now, praise the LORD, * all ye servants of the LORD;
Ye that by night stand in the house of the LORD, * even in the
courts of the house of our God.
Lift up your hands in the
sanctuary, * and praise the LORD.
The LORD that made heaven and earth * give thee blessing out of
Sion.
Antiphon: I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest, for it is Thou,
Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety.

the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
