Psalm 133, v. 1
He smote divers nations: and slew mighty kings;
Sehon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Basan: and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
And gave their land to be an heritage: even an heritage unto Israel his people.
Psalm 135, v. 10
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 136, v. 1
By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee, O Sion.
As for our harps, we hanged them up: upon the trees that are therein.
For they that led us away captive required of us then a song, and melody, in our heaviness:
Sing us one of the songs of Sion.
How shall we sing the Lord’s song: in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem: let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: yea, if I prefer not
Jerusalem in my mirth.
Psalm 137, v. 1
O Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me: thou knowest my down-sitting, and mine
up-rising; thou understandest my thoughts long before.
Psalm 139, v. 1
Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me: I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit: or whither shall I go then from thy presence?
If I climb up into the heaven, thou art there: if I go down to hell, thou art there also.
If I take the wings of the morning: and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Peradventure the darkness shall cover me: then shall my night be turned to day.
Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day: the darkness and
light to thee are both alike.
Psalm 139, v. 5
I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

written;
Which day by day were fashioned: when as yet there were none of them.
Psalm 139, v. 15
Try me, O God, and seek the ground of my heart: prove me, and examine my thoughts.

Let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and keep the door of my lips.

Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together: and let me ever escape them.
