"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity!" (Ps. 133, fragm.)
"O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord
endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord." (Ps. 117)
"The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the
earth!
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the
dunghill;
That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
Praise ye the Lord." (Ps. 113 Laudate pueri", fragm.)
