O LORD, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thine handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.
O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
I am thy servant, give me understanding; That I may know thy testimonies.
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thine handmaid.
The spirit of the Lord GODis upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honour.
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
