25. From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;before those who fear you I will fulfil my vows.
26. The poor will eat and be satisfied;those who seek the Lord will praise him –may your hearts live for ever!
27. All the ends of the earthwill remember and turn to the Lord,and all the families of the nationswill bow down before him,
