And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I [am] your shield. Your reward shall be very great.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: You are He that restores my inheritance to me.

You have guided me by Your counsel, and You have taken me to Yourself with glory.

My heart and my flesh have failed; [but] God [is the strength] of my heart, and God is my portion forever.

For the Lord loves mercy and truth; God will give grace and glory; the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

You are my portion, O Lord; I said that I would keep Your law.

But you shall be called priests of the Lord, the ministers of God; you shall eat the strength of nations, and shall be admired because of their wealth.

The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for Him.

you also, as living stones, are being built [into] a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and who washed us from our sins in His own blood,

and He made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
