22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen (1865) from Ein deutsches Requiem, nach Worten der heiligen Schrift [A German Requiem, To Words of the Holy Scriptures] Op. 45, by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)
Brahms Requiem - Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen - Berlin Philharmonic. Rattle
Performed by Berlin Philharmoniker and Simon Halsey Chorus Master of the Rundfunkchor Berlin
4 Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
