Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD ? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD ?
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
