MORNING
The meek will he teach his way.
LESSED are the meek.
I returned, and saw under the sun,
that the race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, neither yet bread to
the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding,
nor yet favour to men of
skill.--A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the LORD directeth his steps.
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou
that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as
the eyes of servants look unto the hand
of their masters, and as the eyes of a
maiden unto the hand of her mistress;
so our eyes wait upon the LORD our
God.--Cause me to know the way
wherein I should walk; for I lift up my
soul unto thee.
O our God, wilt thou not judge them?
for we have no might against this great
company that cometh against us; neither
know we what to do: but our eyes are
upon thee.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask
of God, that giveth to all men liberally,
and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him.
When he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth.

EVENING
O Lord GOD, . . . with thy blessing let the
house of thy servant be blessed for
ever.
HOU blessest, O LORD, and it shall
be blessed for ever.--The blessing of
the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth
no sorrow with it.
Remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to
give than to receive.--When thou makest
a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
lame, the blind: and thou shalt be
blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at
the resurrection of the just.--Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation
of the world: for I was an hungred,
and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and
ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed
me: I was sick, and ye visited me.
Blessed is he that considereth the
poor: the LORD will deliver him in time
of trouble.
The LORD God is a sun and shield.
