3 For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous: lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.
4 Do well, O Lord: unto those that are good and true of heart.
5 As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness: the Lord shall lead them forth with the evil-doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.
DAY 27 EVENING PRAYER
PSALM 126. In convertendo.
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion: then were we like unto them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter: and our tongue with joy.
3 Then said they among the heathen: The Lord hath done great things for them.
4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already: whereof we rejoice.
5 Turn our captivity, O Lord: as the rivers in the south.
