	And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
	And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.

	And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
	And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

	For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
	O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
	A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

	But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
	Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
	The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
	Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
	They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
	To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
