PSALM vi. Domine, ne in furore

Ash Wednesday, morning (Prayer Book)

The prayer of the human soul suffering the temporal punishments, bodily and mental, of sin. Christ Himself endured these sufferings to the utmost, not for Himself, but for His people, and in this sense it, with the other penitential Psalms, may be called a Psalm of the Incarnation.

PSALM vii. Domine, Deus meus

The declaration of the Innocency of Christ against the persecution and treachery of His enemies; His appeal to the Father's justice.

PSALM viii. Domine, Dominus noster

Heb. ii. Ascension Day, morning (Prayer Book)

The glory of God's Name (or revelation of Himself) in nature and in the Incarnation. The triumph and universal empire of Christ as the Son of Man, and the Second Adam.

PSALM ix. Confitebor tibi

Thanksgiving for the triumph of God's righteousness in Christ, which is the pledge of the future destruction of all evil.
