Heaven


Psalm 117, 1 - 2 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. Wisdom of Salomon 5, 1 Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. Wisdom of Salomon 5, 15 - 16 But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High. Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
