1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

1Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
