Andrewes

I laid me down and slept; I awaked

thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety

in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up

my voice shalt thou hear in the morning

in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple

rebuke me not in thine indignation

have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak

the first of the penitential psalms: have mercy upon me, for I am weak

in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

thou madest him to have dominion

thou madest him to have dominion

a refuge in times of trouble

wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?

how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

lest I sleep the sleep of death

I have trusted in thy mercy

my reins chasten me in the night-season; Prayer Book numbering

that my footsteps slip not

O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee

hide me under the shadow of thy wings

I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness

David's catalogue of the Names: rock, fortress, deliverer, buckler, horn

day unto day uttereth speech

secret faults; and at 13 the Septuagint's strange sins where the AV has presumptuous

cleanse thou me from secret faults

secret faults, and the Septuagint's strange sins

cleanse thou me from secret faults

the psalm's last verse: be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power

our fathers trusted in thee, and were not confounded

our fathers trusted in thee, and were not confounded

the psalm of the Passion, where it turns from the sufferer to the fathers

thou art he that took me out of the womb

thou didst make me hope upon my mother's breasts

they pierced my hands and my feet, on the Authorised Version's numbering

his seed shall inherit the land; Prayer Book numbering

O bring thou me out of my troubles; Prayer Book numbering

look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins

the Vulgate's ure renes meos, burn my reins, where the AV has try

I have not sat with vain persons

that I may publish with 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

to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple

one thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life

when thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek

to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living

when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle

save thy people, and bless thine inheritance

what profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing

let me never be put to confusion

in thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed. Also the Te Deum's last line, and the Act of Hope opens on it.

blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity

I acknowledged my sin unto thee

and so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin; Prayer Book numbering, and the Greek follows the Septuagint's ungodliness of my heart

the plate's figure. I said, I will confess my sins unto the LORD stands at verse 5 in the Authorised Version and at 6 in the Prayer Book Psalter, which is what the plate follows here — a third numbering system on show in this volume, beside the plain Vulgate and the hybrid at 344 and 353.

in a time when thou mayest be found; Prayer Book numbering

be ye not as the horse and mule, which have no understanding

whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle

the Septuagint's as in a wineskin, where the AV has as an heap

our soul waiteth for the LORD

his praise shall continually be in my mouth

the angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him

say unto my soul, I am thy salvation

and my substance is with thee

David, having first been dumb with silence

and my substance is with thee

I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner

I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner

my heart faileth me

innumerable evils have compassed me about

blessed is he that considereth the poor

deliver him not unto the will of his enemies

heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee

the verse of line 21 opposite, turned into the third person

heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee

the plate's figure, which is the Vulgate's verse-number under the Hebrew psalm-number: the AV and the Prayer Book have it at xli. 4, heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Second page to show that hybrid, after printed 344.

deep calleth unto deep

deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts

deep calleth unto deep … thy billows are gone over me

my prayer unto the God of my life

why art thou disquieted within me?

hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee, which opens Psalm lxiii

our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days

our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old

he maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth

we have thought of thy lovingkindness, in the midst of thy temple

those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice

these things hast thou done, and I kept silence

blot out my transgressions

blot out mine iniquity

have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness

cleanse me from my sin

my sin is ever before me

David's Miserere: in sin did my mother conceive me

hide thy face from my sins

David's Miserere: take not thy Holy Spirit from me

cast me not away from thy presence

David's Miserere, at its turn outward: then will I teach transgressors thy ways

my mouth shall shew forth thy praise

my mouth shall shew forth thy praise

O Lord, open thou my lips

David's Miserere: a broken and a contrite heart

a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise

a broken and a contrite heart, which the plate divides into two of the three

a broken and a contrite heart, which the plate divides into two of the three

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it

fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me

evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray

God is my defence, and the God of my mercy

early will I seek thee

I will lift up my hands in thy Name; Prayer Book numbering

my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

when I remember thee upon my bed

when I remember thee upon my bed

the reference supplies a word, not a sense. When I remember thee upon my bed is the psalmist doing well; the page takes only lectis from it and makes the bed the thing to be avoided — if not on the ground and in ashes, yet at least not lying down.

because thou hast been my help

because thou hast been my help

unto thee shall the vow be performed

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come

the same verse as at 48 above, now made a title: O hope of all the ends of the earth

the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea

the verse that has already stood at 48 and 50, again as a title

make haste to help me, O LORD

make haste, O God, to deliver me

thou art my hope from my youth

an old man's prayer: thou art my trust from my youth

thou art my trust from my youth

let my mouth be filled with thy praise. Ps. li. 15 returns alone nine lines below — the one verse this page says twice, and the page is about nothing but the mouth.

cast me not off in the time of old age

so foolish was I, and ignorant

the congregation which thou hast purchased of old

remember this, that the enemy hath reproached

the psalm written after the sanctuary was burned

the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain

my spirit made diligent search

will the Lord cast off for ever?

will the Lord absent himself for ever? will he be no more entreated?

their years in trouble

of the generation in the wilderness, forgiven again

he stirred not up all his wrath

a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again

thou hast covered all their sin

thou hast covered all their sin

I cry unto thee daily

plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee

thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell

the psalm says thou HAST delivered; the line asks Libera, deliver thou — the indicative prayed back as a command

save the son of thine handmaid

the darkest of the psalms, which ends without comfort

in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee

the enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him

Ethan: how short a time God has made men for

Ethan: how short a time God has made men for

wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

remember how short my time is

remember how short my time is, the third time this verse anchors a plea

Lord, where are thy old loving-kindnesses?; Prayer Book numbering

the Septuagint's our lifetime in the light of thy countenance, where the AV has our secret sins

let it repent thee concerning thy servants

O satisfy us early with thy mercy

establish thou the work of our hands upon us

the snare of the fowler

he shall give his angels charge over thee

he shall give his angels charge over thee

the psalm for the Sabbath day

harden not your heart

harden not your heart, as in the provocation

my days are gone like a shadow

the set time is come

the psalm of Israel's repeated rebellions, at the point where He hears anyway

thy glory above all the earth

in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation

his righteousness endureth for ever

blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore

blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. It opened set II on the leaf before and opens set IV here: the one verse the sets reuse is the one that blesses the Name, which is the petition they all begin from.

who dwelleth on high, and humbleth himself to behold

return unto thy rest, O my soul

what shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits?

what shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid

the shortest psalm, entire in two verses

the plate's figure, which is the Vulgate's numbering of the psalm our Bibles call cxviii: Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. One verse supplies both lines, and the reference stands under the second because it covers the pair.

bind the sacrifice with cords, unto the horns of the altar

blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes

out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD

if thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities

if thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

if thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? The same two lines stand verbatim at printed 41 under a figure reading cxxx. 30 — the closest witness the volume has against that misprint.

if thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

i.e. Ps. cxxx. 7, with him is plenteous redemption

asked here with the name of Israel gone

if thou shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?, which is verse 3; the psalm has but eight

turn not away the face of thine anointed

whither shall I go then from thy spirit?

when I awake, I am still with thee

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice

let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense

the plate marks its reading as the Septuagint's

incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works

keep the door of my lips, which is verse 3

my portion in the land of the living

thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living

enter not into judgment with thy servant

enter not into judgment with thy servant

enter not into judgment with thy servant

I stretch forth my hands unto thee

my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land

for I lift up my soul unto thee

thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of righteousness

that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store

I will magnify thee, O God my King

his mercies are over all his works

all thy works shall praise thee

all thy works praise thee, and thy saints give thanks unto thee
