The Daily Light

He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
  • Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? -- Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. -- Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy. -- Hallowed be thy name.
  • Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people.
  • Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. -- I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
  • Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, ... be glory.
