¹ I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. ²For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens. ³ I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant: ⁴Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. [Selah

¹⁵Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance. ¹⁶In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted. ¹⁷For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. ¹⁸For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. ⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. ⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.
