16 O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy · up on me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and help. the son of thine | hand-naid.

17 Shew some token upon me for good, that they who hate me may see it, and be . a 1 shamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen | me, and I comfort • ed | me.

. Psalm lxxxvii. Fundamenta ejus. D ER foundations are upon the holy hills :

11 the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of | Jacob.

2 Very excellent things are / spoken • of | thee : thou || city of God.

3 I will think upon | Rahab.and | Babylon : with them that know me.

4 Behold ye the Phil is.tines I also: and they of Tyre, with the Morians; I lo, I there · was he born.

5 And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born .in | her : and the most | High. shall | stab: lish | 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 rel hearse : All my fresh / springs • shall be in thee.

Psalm lxxxviii. Domine Deus. Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day U and night beforethee: 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 | draw.ethnighunto hell.

3 I am counted as one of them that go down | in to the l pit : and I have been even as a man : that I hath · no I 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 a way from • thy hand.

5 Thou hast laid me in the lowest | pit: in a place of darkness, and in the l deep.

6 Thine indignation lieth | hard · up | on me: and thou hast vexed • me with all thy | storms.

7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance \ far | from me: and made me to l be • ab horrel of i them.

8 I am so I fast. in prison : that I cannot · get forth.

9 My sight faileth for | very trouble: Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched | forth • my hands • unto | thee.

10 Dost thou shew wonders a | mong .thej drad: or shall the dead rise up a I gain, and praise ! thee?

11 Shall thy loving-kindness be shewed in the grave: or thy I faithful.ness | in. destruction?

12 Shall thy wondrous works be known in the | dark : and thy righteousness in the land where! all things are forgotten?

13 Unto thee have I cried, : 0 | Lord: and early shall my prayer | come · before thee.

14 Lord, why abhorrest | thou · my soul: and hidest thou • thy l face • from me ?

15 I am in misery and like unto him that is at the point · to | die: even from my youth up thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled | mind.

16 Thy wrathful displeasure go.eth | over me: and the fear of thee hath. un done me.

17 They came round about me | daily · like water : and compassed me to l gether · un | eve: ry side.

18 My lovers and friends hast thou put a way . from | me: and hid mine acquain · tance out of . mt.
