⁹ We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, In the midst of thy temple.

⁶ Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁷ They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁸ A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁹ or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

⁶ Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁸ or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labor for ever,

⁹ and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption.

⁹ God, here in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.

⁶ They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁸ As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. Selah.
