And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
