There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.  The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever.

O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!  Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.

The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.  All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, When they hear the words of Your mouth.  Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord.

For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.  The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.  All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah
