                        Psalm 116:6

          

          

          

        turn 

        again 

        to 

        your 

        rest, 

        O 

        my soul, 

        for the Lord 

        has treated you well.

*Henry Martyn, 178i -1812

Anglican priest & missionary 

to India & Persia, he translated 

the Scriptures & the Prayer 

Book into Hindi & Persian.

Born in Truro, England 

he died of fever in Tokat, Turkey at the 

age of 31 and was buried far from 

home in that Muuslim land by 

Amermeina Christians. 

            Inspire 
            in us 
            a love
            like 
            his, 
            eager 
            to 
            give 
            both  
            life & talents            
            to You who gave them

                              *** 

A note: I read the psalms out of the BCP. 
If you are reading them in your Bible, even 
the NRVS that we generally use in church, 
the versification sometimes varies because the 
BCP translation is basically the Cloverdale 
translation. For instance, today is v6 in the 
BCP, but 7 in the Bible...
