The Order for the Burial of the Dead
PSALM 121 I will lift up mine eyes / unto . the / hills: from / whence / cometh . my / help? My help cometh / from the / Lord: who hath / made / heaven . and / earth. He will not suffer thy / foot . to be / moved: and he that / keepeth . thee / will not / sleep. Behold he that / keepeth / Israel: shall / neither / slumber . nor / sleep. The Lord him- / self . is thy / keeper: the Lord upon thy right / hand shall / give thee / shade; The sun shall not / strike . thee by / day: neither / shall the / moon by / night. The Lord shall preserve thee from / all / evil: yea it is / he . that shall / keep thee / safe. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy / coming / in: from this time / forth for / ever- / more. PSALM 139. 1-11 O Lord thou hast searched me / out and / known me: thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising, * thou understandest my / thoughts / from a- / far. Thou art ever about my path * and the places / where I / rest: and art ac- / quainted . with / all my / ways. For lo there is not a / word . in my / mouth: but thou O Lord / knowest . it / alto- / gether. Thou hast protected me be- / hind . and be- / fore: and hast / covered . me / with thine / hand. ยง Such knowledge is too / wonder . ful / for me: so excellent that I / cannot . at- / tain / unto it. Whither shall I go / from thy / spirit: or whither shall I / flee / from thy / presence?
