BLeffed be the Lord God of Ifrael: for he hath visited and redeemed his people; And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets : which have been fince the world began; That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the hands of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember his holy covenant; To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham; that he would give us; That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies: might serve him without fear; In holiness and righteousness before him; all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; Ta To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission of their fins, Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us; To give light to them that fit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; (Hallelujah:] As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. (Hallelujah.)

Pfal. 8. ; O Lord our Governour, how excellent is thy name in all the world: thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of very babes and fucklings haft thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies : that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. For when I confider the heavens, the work of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him little lower than the angels: to crown him with glory and worship. Thou makeft him to have dominion of the works of thy hands: and thou hast put all things in fubjection under his feet; All sheep and oxen: yea, and the beasts of the field; |
