Benediction
...............................................................
On the day I called you answered me;
You increased the strength of my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD
For they have heard the words of your mouth.
They shall sing the ways of the LORD
For great is the glory of the LORD.
For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly,
But the haughty he perceives from far away.
