From Easter until Ascension, we also read:<\/strong><\/p>\n Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life (Thrice).<\/strong><\/p>\n Lord, how are they increased that trouble me? Many are they that rise up against me.<\/p>\n Many there be which say to my soul, There is no salvation for him in his God.<\/p>\n But thou, O Lord, art my helper; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.<\/p>\n I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain.<\/p>\n I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.<\/p>\n I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.<\/p>\n Arise, O Lord, save me, O my God, for thou hast smitten all them that are mine enemies without a cause; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.<\/p>\n Salvation belongeth unto the Lord, and thy blessing is upon thy people.<\/p>\n I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.<\/p>\n O Lord, rebuke me not in Thy wrath, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.<\/p>\n For Thine arrows are stuck fast in me, and Thou hast pressed Thine hand heavily upon me.<\/p>\n There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine anger, neither is there any peace in my bones because of my sins.<\/p>\n For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden have they pressed sore upon me.<\/p>\n My wounds stink and are corrupt, because of my foolishness.<\/p>\n I am troubled and bowed down greatly; I went with mourning countenance all the day long.<\/p>\n For my loins are filled with mockings, and there is no healing in my flesh.<\/p>\n I am troubled and brought down greatly; I have roared by reason of the groaning of my heart.<\/p>\n Lord, all my desire is before Thee, and my groaning is not hid from Thee.<\/p>\n My heart is troubled, my strength hath failed me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.<\/p>\n My friends and my neighbours drew near and stood over against me, and my kinsmen stood afar off.<\/p>\n They also that sought after my life used violence, and they that sought my hurt spake vanities, and imagined deceits all the day long.<\/p>\n But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.<\/p>\n And I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.<\/p>\n For in Thee, O Lord, have I hoped; Thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.<\/p>\n For I said, Let never mine enemies rejoice over me; for when my feet slipped, they made boast against me.<\/p>\n For I am ready for scourges, and my sorrow is continually before me.<\/p>\n For I will declare mine iniquity, and be sorry for my sin.<\/p>\n But mine enemies live, and are stronger than I, and they that hated me wrongfully are multiplied.<\/p>\n They that render me evils for good have slandered me, because I followed the thing that good is.<\/p>\n Forsake me not, O Lord my God; depart not from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord of my salvation.<\/p>\n Forsake me not, O Lord my God; depart not from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord of my salvation.<\/p>\n O God my God, early do I seek Thee. My soul hath thirsted for Thee, how many ways my flesh hath longed for Thee, in a barren and untrodden land, where no water is.<\/p>\n So have I appeared before Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and glory.<\/p>\n Because Thy mercy is better than lives; my lips shall praise Thee.<\/p>\n So will I bless Thee while I live, and I will lift up my hands in Thy name.<\/p>\n Let my soul be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips.<\/p>\n If I have remembered Thee upon my bed, I meditated on Thee in the morning watches.<\/p>\n Because Thou hast been my help; in the shelter of Thy wings will I rejoice.<\/p>\n My soul hath cleaved to Thee, Thy right hand hath upholden me.<\/p>\n But they have sought my soul in vain; they shall go into the lower parts of the earth, they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be portions for foxes.<\/p>\n But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall be praised, for the mouth of them that speak unjustly hath been stopped.<\/p>\n If I have remembered Thee upon my bed, I meditated on Thee in the morning watches.<\/p>\n Because Thou hast been my help; in the shelter of Thy wings will I rejoice.<\/p>\n My soul hath cleaved to Thee, Thy right hand hath upholden me.<\/p>\n Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

(Thrice)<\/strong><\/p>\n Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.<\/p>\n O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before Thee.<\/p>\n Let my prayer come before Thee; incline Thine ear unto my supplication.<\/p>\n For my soul is full of evils, and my life hath drawn nigh unto hell.<\/p>\n I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man without help, free among the dead.<\/p>\n Like the bodies of the slain that sleep in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from Thy hand.<\/p>\n They have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, and in the shadow of death.<\/p>\n Thy wrath is made strong over me, and Thou hast brought all Thy waves upon me.<\/p>\n Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination unto them.<\/p>\n I am delivered up, and I cannot come forth; mine eyes are grown weak by reason of poverty.<\/p>\n Lord, I have called daily upon Thee, I have stretched out my hands unto Thee.<\/p>\n Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall physicians raise them up to praise Thee?<\/p>\n Shall any in the grave tell of Thy mercy, and of Thy truth in that destruction?<\/p>\n Shall Thy wonders be known in that dark, and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?<\/p>\n But unto Thee have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer prevent Thee.<\/p>\n Lord, why castest Thou off my soul, and turnest Thou away Thy face from me?<\/p>\n I am poor and in troubles from my youth up; yea, having been exalted, I was bowed down, and brought low unto distress.<\/p>\n Thy fierce wrath hath gone over me, and Thy terrors have troubled me.<\/p>\n They came round about me like water; all the day long they compassed me about together.<\/p>\n Friend and neighbour hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance, because of misery.<\/p>\n O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before Thee.<\/p>\n Let my prayer come before Thee; incline Thine ear unto my supplication.<\/p>\n Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.<\/p>\n Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.<\/p>\n Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thine infirmities.<\/p>\n Who redeemeth thy life from corruption, who crowneth thee with mercy and loving kindness.<\/p>\n Who satisfieth thy desire with good things; thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.<\/p>\n The Lord executeth mercy and judgment for all that are wronged.<\/p>\n He made known His ways unto Moses, His will unto the children of Israel.<\/p>\n The Lord is compassionate and merciful, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy. He will not always be angry, neither will He be wrathful for ever.<\/p>\n He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.<\/p>\n For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord hath made His mercy to prevail over them that fear Him.<\/p>\n As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our iniquities from us.<\/p>\n Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear Him; for He knoweth whereof we are made, He remembereth that we are dust.<\/p>\n As for man, his days are as the grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.<\/p>\n For when the wind hath passed over it, it shall be gone, and it will know the place thereof no more.<\/p>\n But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him.<\/p>\n And His righteousness upon children’s children, upon such as keep His testament, and remember His commandments to do them.<\/p>\n The Lord hath prepared His throne in heaven, and His kingdom ruleth over all.<\/p>\n Bless the Lord, all ye His angels, mighty in strength, that perform His word, to hearken unto the voice of His words.<\/p>\n Bless ye the Lord, all ye His hosts, ye ministers of His that do His pleasure.<\/p>\n Bless the Lord, all ye works of His, in all places of His dominion.
