Psalm 106:1-12

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

Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?

Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

Isaiah 41:1-13

41 Keep silence before me, islands; and let the peoples renew [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us draw near together to judgment.

Who raised up from the east him whom righteousness calleth to its foot? He gave the nations before him, and caused him to have dominion over kings; he gave them as dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow.

He pursued them, he passed on in safety, by a way he had never come with his feet.

Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first; and with the last, I [am] HE.

The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they drew near, and came.

They helped every one his neighbour, and [each] said to his brother, Take courage.

And the artizan encouraged the founder, he that smootheth [with] the hammer him that smiteth on the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fasteneth it with nails, that it be not moved.

But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, my friend

—thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from the extremities thereof, and to whom I said, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not rejected thee,

10 —Fear not, for I [am] with thee; be not dismayed, for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Lo, all that are incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded; they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them—them that contend with thee; they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I, Jehovah, thy God, hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Matthew 18:1-5

18 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,

and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, *he* is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;

and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.
