Religion – I thought about the former days, the years of long ago. I remembered my songs in the night. I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders: Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. You have by Your power redeemed Your people
Thou art the God who workest *wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples. Thou hast by Thy power redeemed Thy people.
You are the God who works *wonders; you have displayed your might among the peoples. With your strong arm you redeemed your people.
You are the God who performs *miracles; you display your power among the peoples. With your mighty arm you redeemed your people.
* Hebrew - 'pele' miracles 'asa' perform

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has [His] *promise come to an end forever?

As to the Luke 24:49 reference made by the Lord Jesus at Ascension Day -
"And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high'

This was not only for the day of Pentecost. The enduement, this clothing of power which jesus spoke is required by whom would to carry out the task of presenting the Gospel.
It happened years later:
'While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God.

'And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they [began] speaking with tongues and prophesying' Acts 19:6
