The 1. Day.
13 Jf a man will not turn, he will whet his sword : he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
14 He hath prepared for him the instruments of death : he ordeineth his arrowes against the persecutours.
15 Behold, he travaileth with mischief : he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth vngodliness.
16 He hath graven and digged vp a pit : and is faln himself into the destruction that he made [for other.]
17 For his travail shall come vpon his own head : and his wickedness shall fall on his own pate.
18. J will give thanks vnto the Lord, according to his righteousness : and I will praise the name of the Lord most high.
The viii. Psalm

2 Out of the mouth of very babes, and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies : that thou mightest still the enemy, and the avenger.
3 For J will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers : the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained.
4 What is man that thou art mindfull of him : and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 Thou madest him lower then the Angels : to crown him with glory and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands : and thou hast put all things in subjection vnder his feet.
7 All sheep and oxen : yea and the Beasts of the Field.
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the Sea :
