I have put my trust in Thee, O Lord; I said: Thou art my God: my lots are in Thy hands (Ps. xxx).
The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall want nothing. Though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils; for Thou (O Lord) art with me. And Thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life (Ps. xxii) .
Third Day
LORD, who shall dwell in Thy tabernacle? Or who shall rest in Thy holy hill? He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice.
He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue; nor hath done evil to his neighbor. He that sweareth to his neighbor and deceiveth not; he that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved forever (Ps. xiv).
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord (Ps. cxviii. i).
Venerable old age is not that of long time — nor counted by the number of years ... a spotless life is old age (Wisd. iv. 8, 9).
My son, give me thy heart; and let thy eyes keep my ways (Prov. xxiii. 26).
Blessed are the clean of heart for they shall see God (Matt. V. 8).
Fourth Day
A JOYFUL mind maketh age flourishing; a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones. Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife (Prov. xvii).
