He, 1and He only, who may most properly be called, The repairer of the breach. To him therefore let us pray and say, O GOD, thou hast cast us off: thou hast scattered us:2 thou hast been displeased: O turn thy self to us again. Thou hast made the earth to tremble: Thou hast broken it. Heal the breaches thereof, for it shaketh.
