As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
Confitemini Domino. Psalm cvii.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed: and delivered from the hand of the enemy;
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west: from the north and from the south.
They went astray in the wilderness out of the way: and found no city to dwell in;
Hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
So they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them forth by the right way: that they might go to the city where they dwelt.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
