Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Praise ye the LORD; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the harp unto our God:

Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Which forsaketh the friend of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

Every word of God is tried: he is a shield unto them that trust in him.

Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and use profanely the name of my God.

And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, is the gift of God.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.
