Psalm 136

136 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

Give thanks unto the God of gods, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

Give thanks unto the Lord of lords, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

To him who alone doeth great wonders, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

To him that made great lights, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

The sun for rule over the day, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

The moon and stars for rule over the night, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

11 And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

12 With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

13 To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

15 And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

16 To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

17 To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

18 And slew famous kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

19 Sihon king of the Amorites, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

20 And Og king of Bashan, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

21 And gave their land for an inheritance, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

22 An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

23 Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

24 And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

25 Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

26 Give ye thanks unto the God of the heavens; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Psalm 118

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

Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.

10 All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

11 They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

12 They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

13 Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.

18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.

21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!

26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

27 Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords,—up to the horns of the altar.

28 Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.

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

Exodus 13:1-2

13 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Hallow unto me every firstborn, whatever breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, of man and of cattle: it is mine.

Exodus 13:11-16

11 And it shall be when Jehovah hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it thee,

12 that thou shalt offer unto Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb, and every firstling that cometh of cattle which is thine: the males [shall be] Jehovah's.

13 And every firstling of an ass shalt thou ransom with a lamb; and if thou do not ransom it, thou shalt break its neck; and every firstborn of a man among thy sons shalt thou ransom.

14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say to him, With a powerful hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Jehovah slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of men and the firstborn of cattle: therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that breaketh open the womb—being males; and every firstborn of my children I ransom.

16 And it shall be for a sign on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for with a powerful hand Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.

1 Corinthians 15:51-58

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 in an instant, in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *we* shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must needs put on incorruptibility, and this mortal put on immortality.

54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

55 Where, O death, [is] thy sting? where, O death, thy victory?

56 Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;

57 but thanks to God, who gives us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 So then, my beloved brethren, be firm, immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in [the] Lord.

Luke 24:1-12

24 But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

And as they were filled with fear and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living one among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,

saying, The Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and rise the third day.

And they remembered his words;

and, returning from the sepulchre, related all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 Now it was Mary of Magdala, and Johanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the others with them, who told these things to the apostles.

11 And their words appeared in their eyes as an idle tale, and they disbelieved them.

12 But Peter, rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he sees the linen clothes lying there alone, and went away home, wondering at what had happened.
