⁹ But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for `God's' own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

²⁴ Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

⁶ But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

⁵⁷ HHETH. Jehovah is my portion: I have said that I would observe thy words.

¹¹ For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

²⁴ Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven `but thee'? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

⁵ Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, `who is' the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;

⁶ and he made us `to be' a kingdom, `to be' priests unto his God and Father; to him `be' the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
