Why art thou cast down, my soul ? And why art thou disquieted
within me?
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him,
Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm xiiii

JUDGE me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:
Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man,
For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: let them bring me unto thy holy hill,
And to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God,
Unto God my exceeding joy; and upon the harp will I praise thee, God, my God.
Why art thou cast down, my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm cvii
O GIVE thanks unto the Lord; for he is good;

For his loving kindness endureth for ever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;
They found no city of habitation. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses,
