Of despair. II. THE PRAYER OF THE FEW. 1. It is directed to the proper source. 2. It supplicates the highest blessing. Show us Thy favour. Regard us with approval and complacency. Let us know ourselves the objects of Thy love. (C. M. Merry.) Parallel Verses KJV: There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
