Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord. To whom doth he look ? and who is his strength? For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him.

He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes; he giveth breath, life, and blessing.

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
