The Prayers of Yahweh's People

We bless thee, that though the enemies of Israel have afflicted them from their youth up, have many a time afflicted them, yet they have not prevailed against them; though the plowers have plowed on their back, yet the righteous Lord has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

That Jesus Christ hath built his church upon a rock, which the gates of hell cannot prevail against, but his seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

-Matthew Henry
