- For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does. - The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love. - By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth. - Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. - May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.”
