11:4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all.

71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

71:18 Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.

71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

71:20 Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21 Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.

71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, Even thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

6:6 in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

6:8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

6:9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

6:10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
