Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
