Joshua 1:8

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; 
meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything
written in it.  
Then you will be prosperous and successful." 

(italics by me)

Habukkuk 3

Praise to God, Immortal Praise

Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;
Bounteous Source of every joy,
Let Thy praise our tongues employ.

These to Thee, my God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings
    flow;
And for these my soul shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

Yet, should rising whirlwinds tear
From its stem the ripening ear;
Should the fig tree's blasted shoot
Drop her green untimely fruit,

Should the vine put forth no more,
Nor the olive yield her store;
Though the sickening flocks should
    fall,
And the herds desert the stall,

Yet to Thee my soul shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise;
And, when every blessing's flown
Love Thee for Thyself alone.

- Anna Laetitia Aikin Barbauld (1743-1825)
