The desire of our soul is to thy Name, And the People believed the Lord, and his servant Moses. Trust ye in the Lord for ever. I will be sorry for my sin. Let Israel hope in the Lord. Delight thy self in the Lord. 4. In our lips, by calling upon him, and speaking well of his name, In every thing by Prayer and supplication, with thanks-giving, let your requests be made known unto God.

The zeal of thy House hath eaten me up Walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing. How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Walk humbly with thy God.","segments":[{"text":"We ought to worship and glorifie God, as the only right object of Divine worship and honor. 1.
