¹¹ And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong. ¹² He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever. ¹³ I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you; ¹⁴ But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned. ¹⁵ So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

¹ Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

⁵ And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.

²⁰ By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven, ²¹ Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come: ²² And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church,

⁹ For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name; ¹⁰ So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld, ¹¹ And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹ Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty rulers went down on their faces before the Lamb, having every one an instrument of music, and gold vessels full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation, ¹⁰ And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a great voice, It is right to give to the Lamb who was put to death, power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing. ¹³ And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever.

¹¹ You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

⁴ Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God.

⁷ You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

² To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place. ³ Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise. ⁴ So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name. ⁵ My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

¹⁷ May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name. ¹⁸ Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders. ¹⁹ Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.

¹⁰ And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people: ¹¹ For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

³⁰ For my eyes have seen your salvation, ³¹ Which you have made ready before the face of all nations; ³² A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.

²⁸ You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

²⁶ To you, first, God sent his servant, blessing you by turning every one of you from his sins.

² The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

¹ Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

⁴ I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. Selah.

⁶ You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations. ⁷ May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

² Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

⁹ Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place; ¹⁰ No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

¹⁴ And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.

⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

¹³ And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

²⁹ And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.

³ And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.

⁹ They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

¹ To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord, of David, who said the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord made him free from the hand of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul; and he said, I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.

⁹ Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

²² The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil. ²³ I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

¹ A Psalm. Of David. The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet. ² The Lord will send out the rod of your strength from Zion; be king over your haters.

¹⁰ As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

² Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down: ³ Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

¹⁴ But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

²⁷ And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

²⁵ For his rule will go on till he has put all those who are against him under his feet.

²⁸ A man who has gone against the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the word of two or three witnesses: ²⁹ But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

¹⁵ And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

²⁸ And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.

²² For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains.

³ For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.

⁵ Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

¹² For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

⁸ There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: flames were lighted by it.

³ Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.

¹ To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me. ² My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.

¹⁷ The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

¹¹ Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.

² The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.

²⁰ And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire. ²¹ Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire. ²² And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.

⁶ Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.

¹ For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

¹⁰ And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.

¹² In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

⁴² And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

⁵⁰ And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

⁷ But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

⁴¹ Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

¹⁶ Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

⁸ To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ For the great day of their wrath is come, and who may keep his place?

¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire.

³⁴ And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

¹⁶ Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off. ¹⁷ His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name. ¹⁸ He is sent away from the light into the dark; he is forced out of the world. ¹⁹ He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.

²⁸ The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath.

²⁸ For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

¹³ Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.

²⁰ As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.

¹ Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

² The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

¹³ False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.

²⁰ For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

⁴ They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.

⁶ Let us go up against Judah, troubling her, and forcing our way into her, and let us put up a king in her, even the son of Tabeel: ⁷ This is the word of the Lord God: This design will not come about or be effected.

⁹ Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth: ¹⁰ Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

¹⁸ And the Lord gave me knowledge of it and I saw it: then you made clear to me their doings. ¹⁹ But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

² Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

⁸ And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

⁴⁶ And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death. ⁵ But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.

⁶³ Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead. ⁶⁴ Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

² And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it. ³ His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow: ⁴ And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men. ⁵ And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross. ⁶ He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

¹⁷ But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name. ¹⁸ And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

²⁷ And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them, ²⁸ We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

²⁰ If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?

¹² I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows. ¹³ His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

¹² If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready. ¹³ He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

³ When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.

¹⁴ He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

⁴⁰ By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

¹⁰ Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

⁹ When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

⁷ But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

¹² With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.

¹¹ Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.

¹⁹ If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

⁴⁶ The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.

¹⁰ Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

⁵ O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

¹¹ Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.

¹⁰ The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer. ¹¹ So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.

⁵ Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

¹⁰ Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

¹⁷ We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom.

³ And they give the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and full of wonder are your works, O Lord God, Ruler of all; true and full of righteousness are your ways, eternal King. ⁴ What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

⁵ And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time: ⁶ For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward. ⁷ And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.

²⁰ Be glad over her, heaven, and you saints, and Apostles, and prophets; because she has been judged by God on your account.

¹ After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God: ² For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants. ³ And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four and twenty rulers and the four beasts went down on their faces and gave worship to God who was seated on the high seat, saying, Even so, praise to the Lord. ⁵ And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him. ⁶ And there came to my ears the voice of a great army, like the sound of waters, and the sound of loud thunders, saying, Praise to the Lord: for the Lord our God, Ruler of all, is King.
