4 Comfort the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I
lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and gracious: and of great mercy unto
all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer: and ponder the voice of my humble
desires.
7 In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou
hearest me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord: there is
not one that can do as thou doest.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee,
O Lord: and shall glorify thy Name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God
alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in thy truth: O knit
my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name.
12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and will
praise thy Name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my
soul from the nethermost hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me: and the congregations
of naughty men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee
before their eyes.
15 But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy:
long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.
16 O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me: give thy
strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew some token upon me for good, that they who hate me may
see it and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me and
comforted me.
PSALM 87. _Fundamenta ejus_.
Her foundations are upon the holy hills: the Lord loveth the
gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
