Help us,
O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name:
and deliver us,
and purge away our sins,
for thy name’s sake.Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee;
according to the greatness of thy power
preserve thou those that are appointed to die.So we thy people
and sheep of thy pasture
will give thee thanks for ever:
we will shew for thy praise
to all generations.Psalm 79

Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come
the praise of the Lord,
and his strength,
and his wonderful works that he hath done.That the generation to come
might know them,
even the children which should be born;
who should arise
and declare them to their children.That they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments.When he slew them,
then they sought him:
and the returned and inquired early after God.And they remembered that God was their rock,
and the high God their redeemer.So he fed them
according to the integrity of his heart:
and guided them
by the skilfulness of his hands.Psalm 78
