4 Behold ye the Philistines also: and they of Tyre, with the
Morians; lo, there was he born.
5 And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born in her: and
the most High shall stablish her.
6 The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people:
that he was born there.
7 The singers also and trumpeters shall he rehearse: All my fresh
springs shall be in thee.
PSALM 88. _Domine Deus_.
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before
thee: O let my prayer enter into thy presence, incline thine ear
unto my calling.
2 For my soul is full of trouble: and my life draweth nigh unto
hell.
3 I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit: and I
have been even as a man that hath no strength.
4 Free among the dead, like unto them that are wounded, and lie
in the grave: who are out of remembrance, and are cut away from
thy hand.
5 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit: in a place of darkness,
and in the deep.
6 Thine indignation lieth hard upon me: and thou hast vexed me
with all thy storms.
7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me: and made me
to be abhorred of them.
