Rh  :Teach me thy way, Lord; and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:
 * For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
 * Wait for the Lord: be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the Lord.

SELECTION 15 PRAYER IN TROUBLE Psalm xiii AS the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, God.
 * My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night,
 * While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
 * How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God,

With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
 * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him
 * For the help of his countenance.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me:
 * Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;
 * And in the night his song shall be with me, even a prayer unto the God of my life.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
 * Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,
 * While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
