26. Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:
27. For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.
28. For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.
