Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.1 |
If ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.2 – The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him … in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.3 |
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, … and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.4 – To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.5 – The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.6 |
