blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation. They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance:
For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
He was taken away from distress and from judgment. Who shall declare his generation? Because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
