"I have preached righteousness in the great congregation
Lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, Thou knowest
I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart
I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation
I have not concealed Thy loving kindness, and Thy truth
from the Great Congregation"
Psalm.40.9.10
