For my brethren and companions' sake will I say: Peace be within thee!

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.

3

Behold, now praise the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord that by night stand in His house.

Lift up your hand in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.

He that made heaven and earth give thee blessing out of Zion, Hallelujah!

4

Psalm xvi: 8, 9, II.

I have set the Lord always before my eyes; because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoiceth and I rest in safety.

Thou wilt show me the path of life; in Thy pres

ence is fulness of joy ; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Who is among you that feareth the Lord; that obeyeth the voice of His servant?

Though he walk in darkness and have no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord and stay upon his God.

Isaiah 1xx: 7.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,

That publisheth peace, that proclaimeth salvation, That saith to Zion: Behold, Thy God reigneth!

6

Psalm xxvii: 1, 11, 13, 14.

The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path!

I had fainted unless I had believed to see the

goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord, be strong, and let thine heart take courage; yea, wait thou on the Lord.

7

Psalm lxxxvi.

Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, and answer me; save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for unto Thee do I cry all day long.

For Thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call on Thee.

9

will praise Thee with my whole heart, and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

O God of Hosts, the mighty Lord,
How lovely is the place

Where Thou, enthroned in glory, showedst

The brightness of Thy face!

My longing soul faints with desire

To view Thy blest abode;

My panting heart and flesh cry out
For Thee, the living God.

Ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers:

His mercy endureth forever!

And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say:

This land that was waste has become like the garden of Eden.

10

Give thanks unto the Lord;
His mercy endureth for ever.

Give ear unto me, Lord, I beseech Thee,
For I have walked in Thy commandments;
Let me be judged with righteous judgment;
O let my sentence come from Thy presence;
O hold Thou me up; guide me in the path of
Thy commandments.

I am Thy servant; teach me Thy statutes;

Hold up my goings in all Thy paths, so that my footsteps may not be moved.

Out of the deep have I called unto Thee, O Lord; hear my voice.

O let Thine ear consider well the voice of my com

plaint.

If Thou, O Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, who may abide it?

But there is mercy with Thee, therefore shalt Thou be trusted.

12

Psalm cxxiii: 1, 2.

Unto Thee will I lift up mine eyes, O Thou who art enthroned in the heavens !

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master ;

As the eyes of a maiden look unto the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look unto the Lord our God until He have mercy on us.

13

Psalm xxx: I, 5, 12.

I will extol Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast raised me up and hast not made my foes to rejoice over

me.

I cried unto Thee and Thou hast healed me, that I should not go down to the grave.

Sing praise unto the Lord, give thanks unto His holy name.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life.

Weeping may tarry for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

O Lord my God! I will give thanks to Thee for

ever.
