6 And men shall speak of the might of your terrible acts: and I will declare your greatness.
And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of your great goodness, and shall sing of your righteousness.

15 The eyes of all wait on you; and you give them their meat in due season.
O Lord, all eyes hope in you, and you provide their food in due time.

20 The LORD preserves all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
