Psalm 136, THE HOLY BIBLE


Your word is a lantern to my feet, and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105, THE HOLY BIBLE


To him that excells on Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is your Name in all the world! who have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have ordained strength, because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I behold your heavens, even the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have ordained,
4 What is man, I say, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and worship.
6 You have made him to have dominion in the works of your hands: you have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen: yes, and the beasts of the field:
8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and that which passes through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is your Name in all the world!

Psalm 8, THE HOLY BIBLE


Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me to rest in green pasture, and leads me by the still waters.
3 He restores my soul, and leads me in the paths of righteousness for his Name’s sake.
4 Yes, though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me: your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the sight of my adversaries: you anoint my head with oil, and my cup runs over.
6 Doubtless kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain a long season in the house of the Lord.
