3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained,
4 what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?
5 For thou have made him but little lower than [heavenly] agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 I count them; they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
9 But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
7 But LORD said to Samuel, Do not look on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For [LORD sees] not as man sees, for man looks on the outward appearance, but LORD looks on the heart.
7 He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,
8 that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.
3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.
14 I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.
