15 What shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it. I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; and thou hast recovered me, and made me to live.

19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
