The Psalter
Psalm 9
The Ninth Psalm
Confitebor tibi.
I WILL give thanks unto thee, O LORD, with my whole heart;
* I will speak of all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee;
* yea, my songs will I make of thy Name, O thou Most Highest.
While mine enemies are driven back,
* they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
* thou art set in the throne that judgest right.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, and destroyed the ungodly;
* thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
O thou enemy, thy destructions are come to a perpetual end;
* even as the cities which thou hast destroyed,
whose memorial is perished with them.
But the LORD shall endure for ever;
* he hath also prepared his seat for judgment.
For he shall judge the world in righteousness,
* and minister true judgment unto the people.
The LORD also will be a defence for the oppressed,
* even a refuge in due time of trouble.
And they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee;
* for thou, LORD, hast never failed them that seek thee.
O praise the LORD which dwelleth in Sion;
* show the people of his doings.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood,
he remembereth them,
* and forgetteth not the complaint of the poor.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider the trouble
which I suffer of them that hate me,
* thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
That I may show all thy praises within the gates of
the daughter of Sion:
* I will rejoice in thy salvation.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made;
* in the same net which they hid privily is their foot taken.
The LORD is known to execute judgment;
* the ungodly is trapped in the work of his own hands.
The wicked shall be turned to destruction,
* and all the people that forget God.
For the poor shall not alway be forgotten;
* the patient abiding of the meek shall not perish for ever.
Up, LORD, and let not man have the upper hand;
* let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O LORD,
* that the heathen may know themselves to be but men.
GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the
Holy Ghost;
AS it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world
without end. Amen.
The First Lesson
II Kings 9:1-6, 10b-16
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy
loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead: And when thou comest thither, look
out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among
his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber; Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and
say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry
not. So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead. And when he came,
behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu
said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. And he arose, and went into the house; and
he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee
king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. And he opened the door, and fled. Then Jehu came
forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to
thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. And they said, It is false; tell us
now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king
over Israel. Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the
stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi
conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of
Syria. But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given
him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth
nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel. So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for
Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
Benedictus es, Domine.
BLESSED art thou, O Lord God of our fathers:* praised
and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou for the Name of thy Majesty:* praised
and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holiness:* praised
and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths, and dwellest
between the Cherubim: * praised and exalted above all forever.
Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of thy kingdom: * praised
and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: * praised
and exalted above all for ever.
Te deum laudamus
Benedicite, omnia
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Second Lesson
II Timothy 2:14
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain
babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of
whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having
this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart
from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of
earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall
be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out
of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the
servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are
taken captive by him at his will.
Benedictus. St. Luke i. 68.
BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; * 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 since the world began;
That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from
the hand 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;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the
remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the
day-spring from on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the
shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of
peace.

The Apostles' Creed.
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy
Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was
crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he
rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the
right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge
the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of
Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the
Life everlasting. Amen.

A Prayer for All Conditions of Men.
O God, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we humbly beseech thee
for all sorts and conditions of men; that thou wouldest be pleased to
make thy ways known unto them, thy saving health unto all nations. More
especially we pray for thy holy Church universal; that it may be so
guided and governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call
themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the
faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of
life. Finally, we commend to thy fatherly goodness all those who are any
ways afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate; [* especially
those for whom our prayers are desired;] that it may please thee to
comfort and relieve them, according to their several necessities; giving
them patience under their sufferings, and a happy issue out of all their
afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
