Psalm 107:1-3

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.

Psalm 107:33-43

33 He maketh rivers into a wilderness, and water-springs into dry ground;

34 A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35 He maketh the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into water-springs;

36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, and they establish a city of habitation;

37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase;

38 And he blesseth them, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

39 And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow:

40 He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;

41 But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks.

42 The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth.

43 Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

Isaiah 55:1-9

55 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat: yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!

Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.

Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.

Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou knowest not, and a nation [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Mark 8:1-10

In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,

I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.

And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].

And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

10 And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
