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:

³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵ For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

⁶ Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

¹⁸ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.

¹⁹ Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

⁷ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

⁸ That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

⁹ He maketh the barren woman to keep house, `And to be' a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah.

⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

⁷ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

⁸ And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

¹⁴ I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.
