2. D

I said, In the midst of my days * I shall go down unto the portals of hell.
2  I sought for the residue of my years.  * I said, I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.
3  I shall behold man no more, * neither the inhabitant of the land of rest.
4  Mine age is departed, and is rolled up from me, * like as it were a shepherd's tent.
5  My life is cut off as by a weaver, whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off : * from morning even until night shalt thou make an end of me.
6  I hoped till morning, * as a lion, so hath he broken all my bones.
7  From morning even until night shalt thou make an end of me : * I will cry like a young swallow; I will meditate like a dove.
8  Mine eyes are weakened, * with looking upward.
9  O Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer me, whereas he himself hath done it?
10  I will call to remembrance before thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.
11  O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt chasten me, and make me to live. * Behold, in peace is my my bitterness most bitter.
12  But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish: * thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
13  For hell shall not give glory unto thee, neither shall death praise thee, * nor yet shall they that go down into the pit look for thy truth.
14  The living, yea the living, he shall give praise unto thee, as I do this day; * the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
15  O Lord, save me, * and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.
Here is not said Glory be.

O praise ye the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises : * unto our God be joyful and seemly praise.
2  The Lord doth build up Jerusalem, * he shall gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3  He healeth those that are broken in heart, * and bindeth up their bruises.
4  He telleth the number of the stars, * and calleth them all by their names.
5  Great is our Lord, and great is his power; * yea, and his wisdom is infinite.
6  The Lord lifteth up the meek, * and bringeth the ungodly down even to the ground.
7  O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; * sing praises upon the harp unto our God:
8  Who covereth the heaven with clouds, * and prepareth rain for the earth.
9  Who maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, * and herb for the use of men.
10  Who giveth fodder unto the cattle, * and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.
11  He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse; * neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
12  But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him, * and put their trust in his mercy.
Here is not said Glory be.

Lord, thou hast been our refuge, * from one generation to another.
2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made, * thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.
3  Turn thou not man to be made low ; * thou hast said, Turn ye, O ye children of men.
4  For a thousand years in thy sight * are but as yesterday when it is past.
5  And as a watch in the night, * things that are counted as nought, shall their years be.
6  In the morning man shall grow up like the grass, yea, in the morning he shall flourish and pass away : * in the evening he shall fall, dry up, and wither.
7  For we are consumed away in thy wrath, * and are troubled in thine indignation.
8  Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee; * and our life in the light of thy countenance.
9  For all our days are gone: * and thy wrath we are consumed away.
10  Our years shall be considered as a spider : * the days of our years are threescore years and ten.
11  But if in the strong they come to fourscore years, * then what is more of them is but labour and sorrow.
12  For meekness hath come upon us, * and we shall be swept away.
13  Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? * or how for fear to number aright thy wrath?
14  So make thy right hand known : * and men applied their hearts unto wisdom.
15  Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last, * and be gracious unto thy servants.
16  We are filled in the morning with thy mercy, * and we have rejoiced and we are glad all the days of our life.
17  We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us; * and for the years wherein we have suffered evils.
18  Look upon thy servants, and upon thy works : * and be thou a guide unto their children.
19  And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: prosper thou the work of our hands upon us; * O prosper thou our handy-work..
Here is not said Glory be.
