8  Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall ^bpraise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

  16  Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.

  20  I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another—

  28  If thou art merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.
