Psalm 33

33 Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.

Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.

For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

For *he* spoke, and it was [done]; *he* commanded, and it stood fast.

10 Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.

11 The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!

13 Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

15 He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.

16 The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.

18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.

21 For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.

22 Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

James 5:7-10

Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.

*Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.

Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.

10 Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.

Psalm 107:1-32

107 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the oppressor,

And gathered out of the countries, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way, they found no city of habitation;

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them:

Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses,

And he led them forth by a right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

For he hath satisfied the longing soul and filled the hungry soul with good.

10 Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

11 Because they had rebelled against the words of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High; …

12 And he bowed down their heart with labour; they stumbled, and there was none to help:

13 Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses;

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.

15 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

16 For he hath broken the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron.

17 Fools, because of their way of transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted;

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, [and] he saveth them out of their distresses;

20 He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

21 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men,

22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters,

24 These see the works of Jehovah, and his wonders in the deep.

25 For he speaketh, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof:

26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down to the depths; their soul is melted because of trouble;

27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and they are at their wits' end:

28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses;

29 He maketh the storm a calm, and the waves thereof are still:

30 And they rejoice because they are quiet; and he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

31 Let them give thanks unto Jehovah for his loving-kindness, and for his wondrous works to the children of men;

32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the session of the elders.

Revelation 21:1-7

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.

And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.

And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.

And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
