O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, in thee do I put my trust{H2620}{(H8804)}: save{H3467}{(H8685)} me from all them that persecute{H7291}{(H8802)} me, and deliver{H5337}{(H8685)} me: 2 Lest he tear{H2963}{(H8799)} my soul{H5315} like a lion{H738}, rending it in pieces{H6561}{(H8802)}, while there is none to deliver{H5337}{(H8688)}. 3 O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, if I have done{H6213}{(H8804)} this; if there be{H3426} iniquity{H5766} in my hands{H3709}; 4 If I have rewarded{H1580}{(H8804)} evil{H7451} unto him that was at peace{H7999}{(H8802)} with me;(yea, I have delivered{H2502}{(H8762)} him that without cause{H7387} is mine enemy{H6887}{(H8802)}:) 5 Let the enemy{H341}{(H8802)} persecute{H7291}{(H8762)} my soul{H5315}, and take{H5381}{(H8686)} it; yea, let him tread down{H7429}{(H8799)} my life{H2416} upon the earth{H776}, and lay{H7931}{(H8686)} mine honour{H3519} in the dust{H6083}.

• Ps 86:1-9 : 1 A Prayer{H8605} of David{H1732}. Bow down{H5186}{H8685)} thine ear{H241}, O LORD{H3068}, hear{H6030}{H8798)} me: for I am poor{H6041} and needy{H34}. 2 Preserve{H8104}{H8798)} my soul{H5315}; for I am holy{H2623}: O thou my God{H430}, save{H3467}{H8685)} thy servant{H5650} that trusteth{H982}{H8802)} in thee. 3 Be merciful{H2603}{H8798)} unto me, O Lord{H136}: for I cry{H7121}{H8799)} unto thee daily{H3117}. 4 Rejoice{H8055}{H8761)} the soul{H5315} of thy servant{H5650}: for unto thee, O Lord{H136}, do I lift up{H5375}{H8799)} my soul{H5315}. 5 For thou, Lord{H136}, art good{H2896}, and ready to forgive{H5546}; and plenteous{H7227} in mercy{H2617} unto all them that call{H7121}{H8802)} upon thee. 6 Give ear{H238}{H8685)}, O LORD{H3068}, unto my prayer{H8605}; and attend{H7181}{H8685)} to the voice{H6963} of my supplications{H8469}. 7 In the day{H3117} of my trouble{H6869} I will call{H7121}{H8799)} upon thee: for thou wilt answer{H6030}{H8799)} me. 8 Among the gods{H430} there is none like unto thee, O Lord{H136}; neither are there any works like unto thy works{H4639}. 9 All nations{H1471} whom thou hast made{H6213}{H8804)} shall come{H935}{H8799)} and worship{H7812}{H8691)} before{H6440} thee, O Lord{H136}; and shall glorify{H3513}{H8762)} thy name{H8034}. 10 For thou art great{H1419}, and doest{H6213}{H8802)} wondrous things{H6381}{H8737)}: thou art God{H430} alone. 11 Teach{H3384}{H8685)} me thy way{H1870}, O LORD{H3068}; I will walk{H1980}{H8762)} in thy truth{H571}: unite{H3161}{H8761)} my heart{H3824} to fear{H3372}{H8800)} thy name{H8034}. 12 I will praise{H3034}{H8686)} thee, O Lord{H136} my God{H430}, with all my heart{H3824}: and I will glorify{H3513}{H8762)} thy name{H8034} for evermore{H5769}. 13 For great{H1419} is thy mercy{H2617} toward me: and thou hast delivered{H5337}{H8689)} my soul{H5315} from the lowest{H8482} hell{H7585}. 14 O God{H430}, the proud{H2086} are risen{H6965}{H8804)} against me, and the assemblies{H5712} of violent{H6184} men have sought{H1245}{H8765)} after my soul{H5315}; and have not set{H7760}{H8804)} thee before them. 15 But thou, O Lord{H136}, art a God{H410} full of compassion{H7349}, and gracious{H2587}, longsuffering{H750}{H639}, and plenteous{H7227} in mercy{H2617} and truth{H571}. 16 O turn{H6437}{H8798)} unto me, and have mercy{H2603}{H8798)} upon me; give{H5414}{H8798)} thy strength{H5797} unto thy servant{H5650}, and save{H3467}{H8685)} the son{H1121} of thine handmaid{H519}. 17 Shew{H6213}{H8798)} me a token{H226} for good{H2896}; that they which hate{H8130}{H8802)} me may see{H7200}{H8799)} it, and be ashamed{H954}{H8799)}: because thou, LORD{H3068}, hast holpen{H5826}{H8804)} me, and comforted{H5162}{H8765)} me.
• Ps 90:1-9 : 1 A Prayer{H8605} of Moses{H4872} the man{H376} of God{H430}. Lord{H136}, thou hast been our dwelling place{H4583} in all{H1755} generations{H1755}. 2 Before the mountains{H2022} were brought forth{H3205}{H8795)}, or ever thou hadst formed{H2342}{H8787)} the earth{H776} and the world{H8398}, even from everlasting{H5769} to{H5704} everlasting{H5769}, thou art God{H410}. 3 Thou turnest{H7725}{H8686)} man{H582} to destruction{H1793}; and sayest{H559}{H8799)}, Return{H7725}{H8798)}, ye children{H1121} of men{H120}. 4 For a thousand{H505} years{H8141} in thy sight{H5869} are but as{H3117} yesterday{H865} when it is past{H5674}{H8799)}, and as a watch{H821} in the night{H3915}. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood{H2229}{H8804)}; they are as a sleep{H8142}: in the morning{H1242} they are like grass{H2682} which groweth up{H2498}{H8799)}. 6 In the morning{H1242} it flourisheth{H6692}{H8686)}, and groweth up{H2498}{H8804)}; in the evening{H6153} it is cut down{H4135}{H8787)}, and withereth{H3001}{H8804)}. 7 For we are consumed{H3615}{H8804)} by thine anger{H639}, and by thy wrath{H2534} are we troubled{H926}{H8738)}. 8 Thou hast set{H7896}{H8804)} our iniquities{H5771} before thee, our secret{H5956}{H8803)} sins in the light{H3974} of thy countenance{H6440}. 9 For all our days{H3117} are passed away{H6437}{H8804)} in thy wrath{H5678}: we spend{H3615}{H8765)} our years{H8141} as a tale{H1899} that is told. 10 The days{H3117} of our years{H8141} are threescore{H7657} years{H8141} and ten{H7657}; and if by reason of strength{H1369} they be fourscore{H8084} years{H8141}, yet is their strength{H7296} labour{H5999} and sorrow{H205}; for it is soon{H2440} cut off{H1468}{H8804)}, and we fly away{H5774}{H8799)}. 11 Who knoweth{H3045}{H8802)} the power{H5797} of thine anger{H639}? even according to thy fear{H3374}, so is thy wrath{H5678}. 12 So teach{H3045}{H8685)} us to number{H4487}{H8800)} our days{H3117}, that we may apply{H935}{H8686)} our hearts{H3824} unto wisdom{H2451}. 13 Return{H7725}{H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, how long? and let it repent{H5162}{H8734)} thee concerning thy servants{H5650}. 14 O satisfy{H7646}{H8761)} us early{H1242} with thy mercy{H2617}; that we may rejoice{H7442}{H8762)} and be glad{H8055}{H8799)} all our days{H3117}. 15 Make us glad{H8055}{H8761)} according to the days{H3117} wherein thou hast afflicted{H6031}{H8765)} us, and the years{H8141} wherein we have seen{H7200}{H8804)} evil{H7451}. 16 Let thy work{H6467} appear{H7200}{H8735)} unto thy servants{H5650}, and thy glory{H1926} unto their children{H1121}. 17 And let the beauty{H5278} of the LORD{H3068} our God{H430} be upon us: and establish{H3559}{H8786)} thou the work{H4639} of our hands{H3027} upon us; yea, the work{H4639} of our hands{H3027} establish{H3559}{H8786)} thou it.
