And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord. 4. Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit. 5.

Psalms 39 1. <To the chief music-maker. Of Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David.> I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me. 2. I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow. 3. My heart was burning in my breast; while I was deep in thought the fire was lighted; then I said with my tongue, 4. Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am. 5. You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.) ; AB Lausanne church

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds. ; AB Lausanne church

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts. 4. Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward. 5. Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him. ; AB Lausanne church

Psalms 27 1. <Of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me? 2.

Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved. 4. One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple. 5.

Psalms 22 1. <To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David.> My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying? 2. O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest. 3. But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel. 4. Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour. 5. They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame. ; AB Lausanne church
