Be strong, and he shall establish your heart, all ye that put your trust in the LORD.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble, and mine eye is consumed for very heaviness, yea my soul and my body.

Into thy hands I commend my spirit; for thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth.

O love the LORD, all ye his saints; for the LORD preserveth them that are faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.

{To the Chanter, A Psalm of David} In thee, O LORD, have I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness.

O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!

My time is in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

But my hope hath been in thee, O LORD; I have said, "Thou art my God."

Bow down thine ear to me; make haste to deliver me. And be thou my strong rock, and a house of defense, that thou mayest save me.

For thou art my stronghold and my castle: be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy name's sake.

Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me, for thou art my strength.

Thou shalt hide them privily by thine own presence from the provoking of all men; thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

I have hated them that hold of superstitious vanities, and my trust hath been in the LORD.

For my life is waxen old with heaviness, and my years with mourning. My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy; for thou hast considered my trouble,

Let me not be confounded, O LORD, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be put to confusion, and put to silence in the grave.

For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude, and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

Show thy servant the light of thy countenance, and save me for thy mercy's sake.

and hast shut me up into the hand of the enemy; but hast set my feet in a large room.

Let the lying lips be put to silence, which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

I am clean forgotten, as a dead man, out of mind; I am become like a broken vessel.

I am become a very reproof among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours. And they of mine own acquaintance are afraid of me; they that see me in the street, convey themselves from me.

Thanks be to the LORD; for he hath showed me marvelous great kindness in a strong city.
