LORD Jesu Christ, Who didst, in the sixth hour of the day, for our salvation, stretch forth Thy hands on the cross, and didst receive Thy five wounds; pitifully receive within the arms of Thy mercy us Thy servants, who fly to Thee for aid, and relieve the wounds of our souls by Thy healing grace, that being cleansed from the defilements of sin, we may be made the Temple of the Holy Ghost; Who livest.

I poured out my complaints before him and shewed him of my trouble.

When my spirit was in heaviness thou knewest my path in the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

:

I looked also upon my right hand and saw there was no man that would know me.

I had no place to flee unto: and no man cared for my soul.

I cried unto thee, O Lord, and said: Thou art my hope, and my portion in the land of the living.

Consider my complaint: for I am brought very low. O deliver me from my persecutors for they are too strong for me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy Name: which thing if thou wilt grant me, then shall the righteous resort unto my company.

LORD Jesu Christ, Who, in the ninth hour of the

PSALM 30.

WILL magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up and not made my foes to triumph over me.

:

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee: and thou hast healed me.

Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell: thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.

For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I never shall be removed: thou, Lord, of thy goodness hadst made my hill so strong.

Thou didst turn thy face from me and I was troubled.

:

Then cried I unto thee, O Lord and gat me to my Lord right humbly.

What profit is there in my blood : when I go down to the pit?

Shall the dust give thanks unto thee: or shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me : Lord, be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.

Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing: O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Antiphon. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood.
