O LORD, thou {art} my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful {things; thy} counsels of old {are} faithfulness {and} truth.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, {so} great is his mercy toward them that fear him. {as...: Heb. according to the height of the heaven}

[Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, {and} into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, {and} bless his name.

This is he that came by water and blood, {even} Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed {each other}.

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, {and} the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises {made} unto the fathers:

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of {his} mercy;

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein {is}: which keepeth truth for ever:

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond {nor} free: but Christ {is} all, and in all.

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
