Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they afflicted like other men.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove to the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
