2 Who can express the noble acts of the LORD, or proclaim all His praise?
3 Blessed are those who guard justice and do righteousness at all times.

5 so that I may see the good things of Your chosen and rejoice in the joy of Your people, and glory with Your inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our Fathers. We have committed iniquity and done wickedly.
7 Our Fathers did not understand Your wonders in Egypt, nor did they remember the multitude of Your mercies; but they rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Nevertheless, He saved them for His Name’s sake, so that He might make His power known.
9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the deep, as through the wilderness.
10 And He saved them from the adversary’s hand and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their oppressors. Not one of them was left.
12 Then they believed His words and sang praise to Him.
41 “Keep silent before me, O islands, and let the people renew strength. Let them come near. And let them speak. Let us come together into judgment.
2 “Who raised up justice from the East and called him to His Foot, gave the nations before him and subdued the kings? He gave them as dust to his sword, as scattered stubble to his bow.
3 “He pursued them and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 “Who has wrought and done it? He Who calls the generations from the beginning. I, the LORD, am the first. And with the last I am the same.
5 “The isles saw it and feared. The ends of the Earth were afraid, drew near and came.
6 “Every man helped his neighbor, and said to his brother, ‘Be strong.’
7 “So the workman comforted the refiner (he who struck with the hammer, and who struck the anvil) saying, ‘It is ready for soldering.’ And he fastened it with nails, so that it would not be moved.
8 “But you, Israel, are My servant, you, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend.
9 “For I have taken you from the ends of the Earth and called you before its chief and said to you, ‘You are My servant. I have chosen you and not cast you away.
10 ‘Fear not. For I am with you. Do not be afraid. For I am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you, and will sustain you with the right hand of My justice.’
11 “Behold, all those who provoke you shall be ashamed and confounded. They shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.
12 “You shall seek them and shall not find them. The men of your strife, they shall be as nothing, and the men who war against you as a non-existent thing.
13 “For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Do not fear. I will help you.
18 At the same time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 And Jesus called a little child to Him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 “Whoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 “And whoever shall receive one such little child in My Name, receives Me.
