Psalms 42.0:

BOOK 2

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.

Psalms 42.1: 42As the deer pants for the water brooks,

so my soul pants after you, God.1

Psalms 42.2: 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

When shall I come and appear before God?

Psalms 42.3: 3 My tears have been my food day and night,

while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

Psalms 42.4: 4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,

how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,

with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

Psalms 42.5: 5 Why are you in despair, my soul?

Why are you disturbed within me?

Hope in God!

Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,

the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

Psalms 42.7: 7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.

All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

Psalms 42.8: 8 Yahweh2 will command his loving kindness in the daytime.

In the night his song shall be with me:

a prayer to the God of my life.

Psalms 42.9: 9 I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?

Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Psalms 42.10: 10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,

while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

Psalms 42.11: 11 Why are you in despair, my soul?

Why are you disturbed within me?

Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,

the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

Hosea 12.0:

Hosea 12.1: 12Ephraim feeds on wind,

and chases the east wind.

He continually multiplies lies and desolation.

They make a covenant with Assyria,

and oil is carried into Egypt.

Hosea 12.2: 2 Yahweh also has a controversy with Judah,

and will punish Jacob according to his ways;

according to his deeds he will repay him.

Hosea 12.3: 3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel;

and in his manhood he contended with God.

Hosea 12.4: 4 Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed;

he wept, and made supplication to him.

He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us,

Hosea 12.5: 5 even Yahweh, the God of Armies;

Yahweh is his name of renown!

Hosea 12.6: 6 Therefore turn to your God.

Keep kindness and justice,

and wait continually for your God.

Hosea 12.7: 7 A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand.

He loves to defraud.

Hosea 12.8: 8 Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich,

I have found myself wealth.

In all my wealth they won’t find in me any iniquity that is sin.”

Hosea 12.9: 9 “But I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt.

I will yet again make you dwell in tents,

as in the days of the solemn feast.

Hosea 12.10: 10 I have also spoken to the prophets,

and I have multiplied visions;

and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.

Hosea 12.11: 11 If Gilead is wicked,

surely they are worthless.

In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls.

Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.

Hosea 12.12: 12 Jacob fled into the country of Aram,

and Israel served to get a wife,

and for a wife he tended flocks and herds.

Hosea 12.13: 13 By a prophet Yahweh brought Israel up out of Egypt,

and by a prophet he was preserved.

Hosea 12.14: 14 Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.

Therefore his blood will be left on him,

and his Lord1 will repay his contempt.

1 Corinthians 11.0:

1 Corinthians 11.1: 11Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11.2: 2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

1 Corinthians 11.3: 3 But I would have you know that the head1 of every man is Christ, and the head2 of the woman is man, and the head3 of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 11.4: 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

1 Corinthians 11.5: 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

1 Corinthians 11.6: 6 For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

1 Corinthians 11.7: 7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

1 Corinthians 11.8: 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

1 Corinthians 11.9: 9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.

1 Corinthians 11.10: 10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

1 Corinthians 11.11: 11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11.12: 12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

1 Corinthians 11.13: 13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

1 Corinthians 11.14: 14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

1 Corinthians 11.15: 15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

1 Corinthians 11.16: 16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

1 Corinthians 11.17: 17 But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

1 Corinthians 11.18: 18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

1 Corinthians 11.19: 19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

1 Corinthians 11.20: 20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

1 Corinthians 11.21: 21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians 11.22: 22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.

1 Corinthians 11.23: 23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

1 Corinthians 11.24: 24 When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”

1 Corinthians 11.25: 25 In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”

1 Corinthians 11.26: 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

1 Corinthians 11.27: 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11.28: 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

1 Corinthians 11.29: 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.

1 Corinthians 11.30: 30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

1 Corinthians 11.31: 31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.

1 Corinthians 11.32: 32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians 11.33: 33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

1 Corinthians 11.34: 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

1 Corinthians 15.0:

1 Corinthians 15.1: 15Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

1 Corinthians 15.2: 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15.3: 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

1 Corinthians 15.4: 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

1 Corinthians 15.5: 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

1 Corinthians 15.6: 6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 15.7: 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,

1 Corinthians 15.8: 8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

1 Corinthians 15.9: 9 For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

1 Corinthians 15.10: 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

1 Corinthians 15.11: 11 Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

1 Corinthians 15.12: 12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

1 Corinthians 15.13: 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.

1 Corinthians 15.14: 14 If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.

1 Corinthians 15.15: 15 Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.

1 Corinthians 15.16: 16 For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.

1 Corinthians 15.17: 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

1 Corinthians 15.18: 18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

1 Corinthians 15.19: 19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

1 Corinthians 15.20: 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

1 Corinthians 15.21: 21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

1 Corinthians 15.22: 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15.23: 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

1 Corinthians 15.24: 24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

1 Corinthians 15.25: 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

1 Corinthians 15.26: 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

1 Corinthians 15.27: 27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.”a But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

1 Corinthians 15.28: 28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15.29: 29 Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?

1 Corinthians 15.30: 30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

1 Corinthians 15.31: 31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

1 Corinthians 15.32: 32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”b

1 Corinthians 15.33: 33 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

1 Corinthians 15.34: 34 Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15.35: 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

1 Corinthians 15.36: 36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.

1 Corinthians 15.37: 37 That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.

1 Corinthians 15.38: 38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.

1 Corinthians 15.39: 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

1 Corinthians 15.40: 40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.

1 Corinthians 15.41: 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

1 Corinthians 15.42: 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15.43: 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

1 Corinthians 15.44: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians 15.45: 45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” c The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15.46: 46 However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

1 Corinthians 15.47: 47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

1 Corinthians 15.48: 48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

1 Corinthians 15.49: 49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s1 also bear the image of the heavenly.

1 Corinthians 15.50: 50 Now I say this, brothers,2 that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15.51: 51 Behold,3 I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

1 Corinthians 15.52: 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

1 Corinthians 15.53: 53 For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 15.54: 54 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”d

1 Corinthians 15.55: 55 “Death, where is your sting?

Hades,4 where is your victory?”e

1 Corinthians 15.56: 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

1 Corinthians 15.57: 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15.58: 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

2 Corinthians 12.0:

2 Corinthians 12.1: 12It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 12.2: 2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.

2 Corinthians 12.3: 3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),

2 Corinthians 12.4: 4 how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

2 Corinthians 12.5: 5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

2 Corinthians 12.6: 6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

2 Corinthians 12.7: 7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

2 Corinthians 12.8: 8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

2 Corinthians 12.9: 9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

2 Corinthians 12.10: 10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 Corinthians 12.11: 11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

2 Corinthians 12.12: 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.

2 Corinthians 12.13: 13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.

2 Corinthians 12.14: 14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

2 Corinthians 12.15: 15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

2 Corinthians 12.16: 16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. “But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.”

2 Corinthians 12.17: 17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?

2 Corinthians 12.18: 18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?

2 Corinthians 12.19: 19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

2 Corinthians 12.20: 20 For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,

2 Corinthians 12.21: 21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.

Hebrews 6.0:

Hebrews 6.1: 6Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

Hebrews 6.2: 2 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Hebrews 6.3: 3 This will we do, if God permits.

Hebrews 6.4: 4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

Hebrews 6.5: 5 and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

Hebrews 6.6: 6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

Hebrews 6.7: 7 For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

Hebrews 6.8: 8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

Hebrews 6.9: 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

Hebrews 6.10: 10 For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Hebrews 6.11: 11 We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

Hebrews 6.12: 12 that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

Hebrews 6.13: 13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

Hebrews 6.14: 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”a

Hebrews 6.15: 15 Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Hebrews 6.16: 16 For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

Hebrews 6.17: 17 In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,

Hebrews 6.18: 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Hebrews 6.19: 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

Hebrews 6.20: 20 where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

James 1.0:

James 1.1: 1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.

James 1.2: 2 Count it all joy, my brothers,1 when you fall into various temptations,

James 1.3: 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

James 1.4: 4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1.5: 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1.6: 6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

James 1.7: 7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

James 1.8: 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1.9: 9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

James 1.10: 10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

James 1.11: 11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.

James 1.12: 12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

James 1.13: 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

James 1.14: 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

James 1.15: 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

James 1.16: 16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.

James 1.17: 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

James 1.18: 18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

James 1.19: 19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

James 1.20: 20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

James 1.21: 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.2

James 1.22: 22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

James 1.23: 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

James 1.24: 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

James 1.25: 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

James 1.26: 26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

James 1.27: 27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Tobit 13.0:

Tobit 13.1: 13And Tobit wrote a prayer for rejoicing, and said,

“Blessed is God who lives forever!

Blessed is his kingdom!

Tobit 13.2: 2 For he scourges, and shows mercy.

He leads down to the grave,1 and brings up again.

There is no one that will escape his hand.

Tobit 13.3: 3 Give thanks to him before the Gentiles, all you children of Israel!

For he has scattered us among them.

Tobit 13.4: 4 Declare his greatness, there.

Extol him before all the living;

because he is our Lord,

and God is our Father forever.

Tobit 13.5: 5 He will scourge us for our iniquities, and will again show mercy,

and will gather us out of all the nations among whom you are all scattered.

Tobit 13.6: 6 If you turn to him with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

to do truth before him,

then he will turn to you,

and won’t hide his face from you.

See what he will do with you.

Give him thanks with your whole mouth.

Bless the Lord of righteousness.

Exalt the everlasting King.

I give him thanks in the land of my captivity,

and show his strength and majesty to a nation of sinners.

Turn, you sinners, and do righteousness before him.

Who can tell if he will accept you and have mercy on you?

Tobit 13.7: 7 I exalt my God.

My soul exalts the King of heaven,

and rejoices in his greatness.

Tobit 13.8: 8 Let all men speak,

and let them give him thanks in Jerusalem.

Tobit 13.9: 9 O Jerusalem, the holy city,

he will scourge you for the works of your sons,

and will again have mercy on the sons of the righteous.

Tobit 13.10: 10 Give thanks to the Lord with goodness,

and bless the everlasting King,

that his tabernacle may be built in you again with joy,

and that he may make glad in you those who are captives,

and love in you forever those who are miserable.

Tobit 13.11: 11 Many nations will come from afar to the name of the Lord God

with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven.

Generations of generations will praise you,

and sing songs of rejoicing.

Tobit 13.12: 12 All those who hate you are cursed.

All those who love you forever will be blessed.
