Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.

Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.

Truly

But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

God

You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

Of a clean heart

Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.

Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,
