Page 80 - The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Page 80 - Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Page 33 - As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
