7 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
And the path of the righteous `is' as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,
and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him `is' the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.
`Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose -- in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;
and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
And the righteous layeth hold `on' his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all.
and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;
`And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;
For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, `Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation -- it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!

Though it be not entitled, yet it may fitly be looked upon as a psalm or song for the sabbath day, the day of our solemn assemblies. The psalmist here with great devotion expresses his affection,
