-Blessed are those that be undefiled in the way,
-and walk in the law of the Lord.
-Blessed are those that keep his testimonies,
-and seek him with their whole heart.
-For they that do no wickedness walk in his ways.
-Thou hast charged us O Lord
-that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.
-O that our ways were made so direct that we might keep thy statutes.
-So shall we not be confounded
-while we have respect unto all thy commandments.
-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.

-<poem>
-Wohl denen, die ohne Tadel leben,
-die im Gesetz des Herrn wandeln!
-Wohl denen, die seine Zeugnisse halten,
-die ihn von ganzem Herzen suchen!
-Denn welche auf seinen Wegen wandeln, die tun kein Übels.
-Du hast geboten,
-fleißig zu halten deine Befehle.
-O daß mein Leben deine Rechte mit ganzem Ernst hielte!
-Wenn ich schaue allein auf deine Gebote,
-so werde ich nicht zuschanden.
-Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und dem Heiligen Geist.
-Wie es war im Anfang, jetzt und immerdar, und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit.
