The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become salvation to me. He is my God and I will glorify him: the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
Thus saith the Lord: In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in the day of salvation I have helped thee. And I have preserved thee and given thee to be a covenant of the people, that thou mightest raise up the earth and possess the inheritances that were destroyed.
