Psalms

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffs at him.

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is your God?

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O LORD, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where is their God? ¶

But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.
