PSALMS
- Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
- Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
- My flesh also shall rest in hope.
- For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
- Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
- Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
- In thy presence is fulness of joy;
- At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

A Prayer of David
- Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry,
- Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
- Let my sentence come forth from thy presence;
- Let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
- Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night;
- Thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing;
- I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
- Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips
- I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
- Hold up my goings in thy paths,
- That my footsteps slip not.
- I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:
