Aniversário de idoso
O aniversário de um idoso é celebração de uma vida longa e cheia de experiências com Deus. A Bíblia honra os cabelos brancos como coroa de glória e prova da fidelidade divina.
Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is into the world.
This is the day which the Lord made; make we full out joy, and be we glad therein.
To David, when he changed his mouth, or his word, before Abimelech, and he drove out David, and he went forth. [The psalm of David, when he changed his cheer before Abimelech, and he let him go, and he went away.] I shall bless the Lord in all time; ever[more] his praising be in my mouth.
The Lord is mine helper and my defender; and mine heart hoped in him, and I am helped. And my flesh flowered again; and of my will I shall acknowledge to him.
thou hast given gladness in mine heart. They be multiplied of the fruit of wheat, and of wine; and of their oil.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt [full-]fill me with gladness with thy cheer; delight-ings be in thy right half unto the end.
I asked of the Lord one thing; I shall seek this thing; that I dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I see the will of the Lord; and that I visit his temple.
Make thy right hand so known; and make men learned in heart by wisdom.
A crown of dignity is eld age, that shall be found in the ways of rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
The full out joying of young men is the strength of them; and the dignity of eld [or old] men is hoariness.
But they that hope in the Lord, shall change strength, they shall take feathers as eagles; they shall run, and shall not travail; they shall go, and shall not fail.
Soothly the Lord granted life to me, as he promised, till into present day. Forty years and five be, since the Lord spake this word to Moses, when Israel went through wilderness. Today I am of fourscore years and five,
and I am as mighty, as I was mighty in that time, when I was sent to espy; the strength of that time dwelleth stably in me till to this day, as well to fight, as to go.
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee;
the Lord show his face to thee, and have mercy upon thee;
the Lord turn his cheer to thee, and give peace to thee.
Most dear brother, of all things I make prayer, that thou enter, and fare wealfully, as thy soul doeth wealfully.
