So soon passeth it away, and we are gone.ġ1 But who regardeth the power of thy wrath :įor even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure. Yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow We bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.ġ0 The days of our age are threescore years and ten
Seeing that is past as a watch in the night.ĥ As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as a sleep :Ħ In the morning it is green, and groweth up :īut in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.ħ For we consume away in thy displeasure :Īnd are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.Ĩ Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee :Īnd our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.ĩ For when thou art angry all our days are gone : Thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.Īgain thou sayest, Come again, ye children of men.Ĥ For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday : Or ever the earth and the world were made : Psalm 90 Domine, refugiumĢ Before the mountains were brought forth, Like as it were a moth fretting a garment :Īnd with thine ears consider my calling :ġ5 O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength :Īs it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : I am even consumed by means of thy heavy hand.ġ2 When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, He heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.Īnd make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.ġ0 I became dumb, and opened not my mouth : That I may be certified how long I have to live.Ħ Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long :Īnd mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee Īnd verily every man living is altogether vanity. I kept silence, yea, even from good words Īnd while I was thus musing the fire kindled :ĥ Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days : Psalm 39 Dixi, custodiamĢ I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle : Save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord. Who by thy cross and precious blood hast redeemed us: In my Father’s house are many mansions.Īfter they are come into the church, shall be read one or more of these psalms following.Īt the end of all the psalms appointed for the Burial of the Dead the Gloria Patri may be left unsaid, and instead thereof may be sung or saidīefore and after any psalm or group of psalms may be said or sung the anthem following Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.īlessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Whether we live, we live unto the Lord and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Remember not the sins and offences of my youth: but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away blessed be the name of the Lord. We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand up at the last upon the earth: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. The ministers and clerks, meeting the body at the entrance of the churchyard, and going before it either into the church or towards the grave, shall say or sing one or more of the following sentences together with one or more of the Penitential Psalms (6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143 see here) if need so require.
