Thou blessest, O Lord,and it shall be blessed for ever.—The blessing of the Lord , it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It more blessed to give than to receive.—When thou makest a feast call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.—Come, ye blessed my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

The Lord God is a sun and shield.
