...thou shalt be called; thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways. 6. He brought me up out of the pit of misery, from the clay and the mire. He set my feet upon a rock, and directed my goings. *Kcʿurd* [refrain]: Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, and the Lord is at thy right hand. 7. The Lord swore in truth unto David, and lied not unto him: Of the fruit of his body will I seat [one] upon his throne. 8. Rejoice, [thou that art] full of grace, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
