2 Very excellent things are spoken of thee: thou city of God.
3 I will think upon Rahab and Babylon: with them that know me.
4 Behold ye the Philistines also: and they of Tyre, with the Morians; lo, there was he born.
5 And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born in her: and the most High shall stablish her.
6 The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people: that he was born there.
7 The singers also and trumpeters shall he rehearse: All my fresh springs shall be in thee.
PSALM 88. Domine Deus.
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: O let my prayer enter into thy presence, incline thine ear unto my calling.
2 For my soul is full of trouble: and my life draweth nigh unto hell.
3 I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit: and I have been even as a man that hath no strength.
