ever.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious
and full of compassion. |

unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. |

¶ He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give

sure.
8 They stand fast for
ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. |

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for
ever: holy and reverend is his name. |
