Psalm cxviii: 14, 15, 24.

The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation.

The voice of joy and help is in the dwellings of the righteous.

The right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things

to pass.

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

26

Exodus xv: 13, 18.

Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth Thy people which Thou hast redeemed;

Thou hast guided them in Thy strength unto Thy holy habitation.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

Isaiah 1x: 1, 2, 10, 13.

Thus saith the Lord: The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool;

What manner of house will ye build unto me and what place shall be my rest?

For all things mine hand made and all things come to pass through me:

Yet will I look to this man, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and that trembleth at my word.

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her all ye that love her; sing for joy all ye that mourn for her.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

28

Jeremiah iii: 21, 23.

A voice is heard upon the barren heights, the weepings and the supplications of the children of Israel;

For that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the Lord their God.

Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings.

Behold, we are come unto Thee, for Thou art the Lord our God: truly, in the Lord our God is the help of Israel.

29

Jeremiah iv: 1, 2.

If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, unto

Me shalt thou return;

And if thou wilt put away thy sins out of My sight, then shalt thou not be removed.

But thou shalt swear: As the Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness;

And the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him shall they glory.

30

Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee; He never will suffer the righteous to fall; He is at thy right hand.

Thy mercy, Lord, is great and far above the heavens. Let none be made ashamed that wait upon Thee.

31

Isaiah liv: 10.

For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed.

But My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed.

32

Psalm vi: 4, 9.

Turn Thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul; O, save me for Thy mercy's sake,

For I am weak and my soul is sore troubled! How long wilt Thou chastise me !

The Lord hath heard my petition; He will receive my prayer.

33

xxxiii: 1, 20, 22.

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Our soul hath patiently waited for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

Our heart shall rejoice in Him, for we have trusted in His holy name.

Let Thy merciful kindness be upon us, like as we do put our trust in Thee.

34

I. Chron. xxxix: 11.

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty,

For all that is in the heaven and the earth is Thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head over all.

35

Psalm xxii: 22, 24, 27, 28.

I will declare Thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee. Ye that fear the Lord praise Him, all ye children of Jacob glorify Him;

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has He hid His face from him.

But when he cried unto Him, He heard him. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship Thee.

For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He governeth all nations.

36

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holi

ness.

We have thought of Thy loving-kindness in the midst of Thy temple.

According to Thy name, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth.

37

O be joyful, sing, and rejoice before the Lord; give thanks unto Him that reigneth forever. For His mercy reacheth unto the heavens, and His faithfulness unto the clouds.

It is Thou, Lord, that commandest the waters and that rulest the sea; O let not my foes triumph

over me.

Blessed be God in all the places of His dominion; He is good and gracious, showing mercy unto them that call on His holy name.

His excellent majesty shall last for ever and ever.
