Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
