LXX.. just some quotes. I haven't gotten around to reading the rest of the Psalms unfortunately.

Psalms 27-31 have always been comforting.

Psalms 103:8-13
The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, long-suffering, and full of mercy. He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has so increased his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in man.

I would have to say Psalms 50, 103, 22 and 148. I don't really know why. :?

Psalm 135, because it stresses the mercy of Our Lord, because the Byzantine melody of this Psalm is so dear to me. I used to chant it while the priest was communing at my parish.
