23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.(KJV)

When in the Hour of Utmost Need

1. When in the hour of utmost need 
We know not where to look for aid; 
When days and nights of anxious thought 
Nor help nor counsel yet have brought, 

2. Then this our comfort is alone, 
That we may meet before Thy throne 
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee 
For rescue from our misery; 

3. To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, 
Repenting sore with bitter sighs, 
And seek Thy pardon for our sin 
And respite from our griefs within. 

4. For Thou hast promised graciously 
To hear all those who cry to Thee 
Through Him whose name alone is great, 
Our Savior and our Advocate. 

5. And thus we come, O God, today 
And all our woes before Thee lay; 
For sorely tried, cast down, we stand, 
Perplexed by fears on every hand. 

6. Ah! hide not for our sins Thy face, 
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace, 
Be with us in our anguish still, 
Free us at last from every ill, 

7. That so with all our hearts we may 
To Thee our glad thanksgiving pay, 
Then walk obedient to Thy Word 
And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.
