And again, when they are minished and brought low: through oppression, through any plague or trouble;
Though he suffer them to be evil intreated through tyrants: and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;
Yet helpeth he the poor out of misery: and maketh him households like a flock of sheep.
The righteous will consider this, and rejoice: and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped.
Whoso is wise will ponder these things: and they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Amen.
