Seite xxvii - I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Seite 111 - Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
