I have been left unto thee ever since I was born; thou art my God, even from my mother's womb.

Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me. For thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long.

Call to remembrance, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old.

Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope hath been in thee.

{A Psalm of David} Be thou my Judge, O LORD, for I walk innocently. My trust hath been also in the LORD; therefore shall I not fall.

O hide not thou thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. Thou hast been my succor; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God my Saviour.

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

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

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother; I went heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

For thou hast been my helper, and under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal; and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.

I will open my mouth in similitudes, and will speak forth things which have been kept secret from the beginning of the world;

The haters of the LORD should have been found liars; but their time should have endured for ever.

{A Prayer of Moses the man of God} LORD, thou hast been our refuge, from one generation to another.

Ever since the world began hath thy seat been prepared; thou art from everlasting.

If the LORD had not helped me, my soul had almost been put to silence.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

Their heart is as fat as brawn, but my delight hath been in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been in trouble, that I may learn thy statutes.
