                        Psalm 88:1—3 (to hear it read)

O Lord, my God, my Savior,

            By day and night I cry to you.

Let my prayer enter into your presence;

            Incline your ear to my lamentation.

For I am full of trouble;

            My life is at the brink of the grave.

 

                        Psalm 30:1-3 (to hear it read)

I extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast drawn me up,

            And has not let my foes rejoice over me.

O Lord my God, I cried to thee for help,

            And thou hast healed me.

O Lord, thou has brought up my soul from Sheol,

            Restored me to life from among those gone down to the pit.
