²⁰ Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

⁶ The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.

⁷ I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.

⁷ How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

⁸ The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

⁹ For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

¹⁰ O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹⁵ Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.

⁴ Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

¹³ My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.

¹⁴ I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

¹⁵ My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

¹⁷ How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

¹² Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

¹³ Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁴ In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;

¹⁶ For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things have being.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.
