80 years later, we remember the first martyr of the Confessing Church
during Nazi Germany, Pastor Paul Schneider. We will post Psalm 145 verse 15 to
21, in memory of him.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due
season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living
thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in
all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all
them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their
cry, and will save them.
20 The Lord preserveth all
them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
- Psalm 145:15-21
(KJV)
