106.1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious : and his mercy endureth for ever.
106.2 Who can express the noble acts of the Lord : or shew forth all his praise?
86.5 For thou, Lord, art good and gracious : and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
86.9 All nations whom thou hadst made shall come and worship thee, O Lord : and shall glorify thy Name.
86.10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : thou art God alone.
106.3 Blessed are they that alway keep judgement : and do righteousness.
