1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
