O ye his angels, that excel in strength, bless ye the Lord; Ye who obey what he commands, and hearken to his word.

Who doth redeem thy life, that thou to death may'st not go down; Who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown:

Lord, what is man, that thou of him dost so much knowledge take? Or son of man, that thou of him so great account dost make?

For ever and for ever is, O God, thy throne of might; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre that is right.
