ANTHEM CLIX. My soul is weary of life; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul, I will say unto God, O do not condemn me, show me why thou contendest with me. Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble he cometh up and is cut down like a flower: he fleeth as it were a shadow, and continueth not in one stay. Why pardonest thou not my transgressions? Why take not mine iniquity from me? O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave, till thy wrath be past. There the wicked cease from troubling, there the weary are at rest. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth, for he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and maketh whole. Therefore I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song, and he will also become my salvation. (Job x. 1, 2. Funeral Service. Isaiah xii. 2.) BECKWITH. ANTHEM CLX.

Thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy clouds drop fatness.
