For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying,\par\tab {\b The voice of one crying in the wilderness,\par\tab Make ye ready the way of the Lord,\par\tab Make his paths straight.}\par
{\b For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge;\par\tab Let me never be put to shame:\par\tab Deliver me in thy righteousness.
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
I will worship toward thy holy temple,\par\tab And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:\par\tab For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
