And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and `seen' that which is done to you in Egypt:
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
yea, he saith, It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:
And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood `men' of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, and madest them `to be' unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth. And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might and honor, and glory, and blessing. And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things are in them, heard I saying, Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, `be' the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever. And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped.
for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be moved. With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God, then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born:
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah, Shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?
I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.
But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!
I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
Jehovah is their strength, And he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.

Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?

and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds' `feet', And will make me to walk upon my high places.
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,
