THE sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

6.

IT is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; To tell of thy loving kindness early in the morning, and of thy truth in the night season;

For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works; and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.

13.

BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people;

And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us, in the house of his servant David;

As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began;

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us.

14.

PRAISE the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.

Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities;

Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and loving kindness.

O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength; ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his word.

Olet the nations rejoice and be glad; for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

WE praise thee, O Lord, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth-Heaven and earth are full of thy great glory.

17.

HOW beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;

That bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing;

For they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem:

For the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm, in the eyes of all nations;

And all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Lord.

18.

THE earth is the Lord's, and the fullness 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.

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek 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 this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even 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.
