107 A canticle of a psalm for David himself.

² My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

³ Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

⁵ And I Daniel looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river.

⁶ And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

⁷ And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn, by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.

⁸ And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things?

⁹ And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.

¹⁰ Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.

¹¹ And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days,

¹² Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

¹³ But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

⁸ Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹ That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

¹⁰ In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.

¹¹ In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.

¹² That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:

¹³ In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁴ Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
