³ Blessed `be' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly `places' in Christ:

²⁶ Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

²⁸ Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance.

³⁰ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³¹ Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

³² A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.

¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:

¹¹ for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

¹⁷ His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun: And men shall be blessed in him; All nations shall call him happy.

¹⁸ Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things:

¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.

⁴ Then will I go unto the altar of God, Unto God my exceeding joy; And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

⁶ Many there are that say, Who will show us `any' good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

⁷ Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than `they have' when their grain and their new wine are increased.

²⁷ and now it hath pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed for ever.

² and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make they name great; and be thou a blessing;
