His right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel:

All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:

Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

God:

It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;

We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;

And his truth endureth unto all generations.

Ps. 98.

O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things:

the harp;

With the harp and the voice of melody.

With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein,

Let the floods clap their hands; Let the hills sing for joy together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth:

With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

In the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord;

My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; The rain also filleth the pools. They go go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the Lord God is a sun and a

shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Ps. 24.

The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon

the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of them that seek after him, that seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors:

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is the King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors:

And the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts, he is the
King of glory.

Hab. 2.

The Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

I Chron. 16.

Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

Ps. 122.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the Lord.

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces, For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

Micah 6.

Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God?

Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old?

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?

Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee.

But to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

John 4.

For the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth;

For such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

God is a Spirit:

And they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

he is a hireling and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd; and I

know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring.

And they shall hear my voice;

And there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down myself.

I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

This commandment have I received from my Father.

Heb. 13.

Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,

Working in us that which is wellpleasing in his sight,

Through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
