APRIL 14

MORNING

My soul shall be satisfied as with

marrow and fatness; and my mouth
shall praise thee with joyful lips:
when I remember thee upon my
bed, and meditate on thee in the
night watches.

H OW precious . . . are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.--How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!--Thy love is better than wine.

      Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.--Thou art fairer than the children of men.

      As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.--His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend.

EVENING

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.

I HAVE seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

      Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.--Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.--I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

      Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.--He restoreth my soul.--O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

      Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.

      I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
