Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known.
To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
He shall dwell on high: the fortifications of rocks shall be his highness. Bread is given him, his waters are sure.
For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
And I said: I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, strong, great, and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy with those that love thee and keep thy commandments:
The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
