²Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
³Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
⁴Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
⁵I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
⁶The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
⁷The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
⁸It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
⁹It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
¹⁰All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
¹¹They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
¹²They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
¹³Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.
¹⁴The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
¹⁵The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
¹⁶The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
¹⁷I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
¹⁸The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:
²⁰This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
²¹I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
²²The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
²³This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
²⁴This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
²⁵Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
²⁶Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
²⁷God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
²⁸Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
²⁹O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

⁵Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
⁶For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
⁷Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
¹⁰I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
¹¹As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
¹²A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
¹³O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
¹⁴Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

²⁴But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
²⁵And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
²⁶And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
²⁷And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
²⁸Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
²⁹So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
³⁰Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
³¹Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
³²But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
³⁴For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
³⁵Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
³⁶Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
³⁷And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
