his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full off compassion.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6 He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
