by Bible or other Sacred Texts

I cried unto God
Language: English 
I cried unto God with my voice,
Even unto God with my voice
And He gave ear unto me.
God be merciful unto us
And cause thy face to shine upon us;
That Thy way shall be known upon earth,
Thy saving health among all nations.
Let the people praise Thee, O God;
Let all the people praise Thee. 

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy:
For Thou shalt judge the people righteously
And govern the nations of the earth.
Let all the people praise Thee.
Then shall the earth her yield increase;
And God, even our own God shall bless us.
God shall bless us; 
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped:
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices
And with my song I will praise Him.
