For the end, a Song of David among the Psalms.

1 When I called upon him, the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye be slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? Pause. 3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him. 4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. Pause. 5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.

6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us. 7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart; they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil. 8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
