¹ To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying? ² O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest. ³ But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel. ⁴ Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour. ⁵ They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame. ⁶ But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people. ⁷ I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say, ⁸ He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him. ⁹ But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts. ¹⁰ I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body. ¹¹ Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help. ¹² A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan. ¹³ I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food. ¹⁴ I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body. ¹⁵ My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips. ¹⁶ Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet. ¹⁷ I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me: ¹⁸ They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing. ¹⁹ Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help. ²⁰ Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog. ²¹ Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen. ²² I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people. ²³ You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry. ²⁵ My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers. ²⁶ The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship. ²⁸ For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations. ²⁹ All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul. ³⁰ A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after. ³¹ They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.

¹ To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah Maschil. It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times, ² Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people. ³ For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them. ⁴ You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob. ⁵ Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us. ⁶ I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation. ⁷ But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

¹⁸ Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be. ¹⁹ And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead he being about a hundred years old and Sarah was no longer able to have children: ²⁰ Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ And being certain that God was able to keep his word. ²² For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.

⁸ By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going. ⁹ By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage: ¹⁰ For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ And by faith Sarah herself had power to give birth, when she was very old, because she had faith in him who gave his word; ¹² So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered. ¹³ All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves. ¹⁵ And truly if they had kept in mind the country from which they went out, they would have had chances of turning back. ¹⁶ But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body, ¹⁸ Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name: ¹⁹ Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death. ²⁰ By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin; ²⁶ Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward. ²⁷ By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death. ²⁹ By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land. ³² What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

³ Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.

⁶ And Israel was in great need because of Midian; and the cry of the children of Israel went up to the Lord.

¹⁰ Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals. ¹¹ And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Were not the Egyptians and the Amorites and the children of Ammon and the Philistines ¹² And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands? ¹³ But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer. ¹⁴ Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble. ¹⁵ And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day. ¹⁶ So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.

² O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me. ³ Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

¹ To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

⁶ Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel. ⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.

¹ In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them. ⁷ His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

¹⁷ But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

²³ And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

³³ As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

¹¹ Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

⁶ Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

⁶ How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!

¹¹ Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

⁷ I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame. ⁸ I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children. ⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me. ¹⁰ My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame. ¹¹ When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me. ¹² I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you. ²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.

⁸ You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.

¹⁴ Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

⁷ The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

³⁰ Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame.

¹⁹ The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.

²⁴ But the Pharisees, hearing of it, said, This man only sends evil spirits out of men by Beelzebub, the ruler of evil spirits.

²⁰ Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death. ²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross. ²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

¹⁵ Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

²⁰ The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas? ⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

⁴⁸ The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

¹² For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.

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 It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

¹⁰ Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

⁹ And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them. ¹⁰ I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me. ¹¹ For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.

¹⁸ Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

¹⁵ But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me. ¹⁶ Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.

¹⁴ Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

²⁵ As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.

²² This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you. ²³ Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,

²⁴ He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

⁶⁶ What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death. ⁶⁷ Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying, ⁶⁸ Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!

²⁹ And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.

³⁹ And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying, ⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

²⁹ And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things. ³⁰ The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer. ³¹ And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him? ³² But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

²⁰ And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

²⁹ And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

¹¹ And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

³⁵ And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection. ³⁶ And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine, ³⁷ And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free. ³⁸ And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

¹ A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me. ² Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

¹⁹ He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

⁵ Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

¹⁰ The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

²² Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

¹⁴ Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

³ Put your works into the hands of the Lord, and your purposes will be made certain.

¹ See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

¹⁷ And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

¹⁸ See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him. 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.

³⁰ Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross. ³¹ In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

³⁵ And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

⁶ You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

¹⁷ O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

¹⁵ My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

¹⁴ For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel. ¹⁵ Butter and honey will be his food, when he is old enough to make a decision between evil and good.

⁶ For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

¹ Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind: ² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shade of his hand he has kept me; and he has made me like a polished arrow, keeping me in his secret place;

¹³ And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death. ¹⁴ So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt; ¹⁵ And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

⁴ And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child. ⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.

³ Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days: ⁴ Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.

¹ Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind:

⁵ Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.

⁴⁰ And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

⁵² And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

¹⁵ But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,

³⁶ For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

²⁶ For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.

¹ To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me? ² How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me? ³ Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

²² You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.

²¹ Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

¹ To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David. Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck. ² My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.

¹⁸ Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.

¹² O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

¹² For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

⁴ Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul. ⁵ I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living. ⁶ Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

⁵ And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.

⁵⁶ But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

⁷² And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.

⁷⁴ Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

³² See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

¹⁴ Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape. ¹⁵ But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.

³⁰ Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.

⁷ And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.

¹¹ Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;

¹⁸ The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

¹ Give ear to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the hill of Samaria, by whom the poor are kept down, and those in need are crushed; who say to their lords, Get out the wine and give us drink. ² The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks. ³ And you will go out through the broken places, every one going straight before her, and you will be sent into Harmon, says the Lord.

¹ Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

² So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

¹² Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.

⁷ I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

²¹ Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

¹⁷ Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

²¹ Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

¹⁶ All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

⁴⁶ The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

²⁷ Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit. ²⁸ And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.

³ Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas. ⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; ⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came. ⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days. ⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you? ⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

⁵ The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people became like water.

¹⁶ For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.

¹⁶ But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:

¹⁷ I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

¹⁰ My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.

² Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

⁶ Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking.

¹⁰ Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.

³⁸ Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

³³ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him. ³⁴ And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

¹⁹ With the hard work of your hands you will get your bread till you go back to the earth from which you were taken: for dust you are and to the dust you will go back.

²⁷ And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:

²¹ And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.

⁹ O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

¹⁰ The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.

¹⁵ All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

¹⁰ My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.

³ I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting for my God.

²¹ They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.

²⁹ If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.

²² A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

¹² For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

⁴ The tongue of the child at the breast is fixed to the roof of his mouth for need of drink: the young children are crying out for bread, and no man gives it to them.

² And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

⁵⁰ And Jesus gave another loud cry, and gave up his spirit.

²⁸ After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

³ For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

¹ To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

²⁰ Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

⁶ They come back in the evening; they make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

¹⁴ And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

¹⁴ O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.

⁵ But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

⁶ For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you.

¹⁰ And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

⁶ Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

⁵⁷ And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

³⁵ And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

¹⁶ And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band. ¹⁷ And they put a purple robe on him, and twisting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; ¹⁸ And, as if honouring him, they said, Long life to the King of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship. ²⁰ And when they had made sport of him, they took the purple robe off him and put his clothing on him. And they took him out to put him to death on the cross.

²⁴ And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

⁵³ And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things; ⁵⁴ And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

⁶³ And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows. ⁶⁴ And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow? ⁶⁵ And they said a number of other evil things against him. ⁶⁶ And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying, ⁶⁷ If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief; ⁶⁸ And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer. ⁶⁹ But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am. ⁷¹ And they said, What more need have we of witness? we have the very words of his mouth.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong. ⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently. ¹¹ And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

³³ And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

²³ And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

³⁴ But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

³⁷ And again another verse says, They will see him who was wounded by their spears.

²⁵ So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

² Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false.

²¹ His flesh is so wasted away, that it may not be seen, and his bones (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .

³ My days are wasted like smoke, and my bones are burned up as in a fire. ⁴ My heart is broken; it has become dry and dead like grass, so that I give no thought to food. ⁵ Because of the voice of my sorrow, my flesh is wasted to the bone.

¹⁴ As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.

³⁶ And they were seated there watching him.

³⁹ And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying, ⁴⁰ You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

²⁹ And those who went by made sport of him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ha! you who give the Temple to destruction, and put it up again in three days,

²⁷ And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

²³ And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth. ²⁴ So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance. This was what the men of the army did.

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.

¹ To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.

¹⁷ Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

¹³ But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain. ¹⁴ Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters. ¹⁵ Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld. ¹⁶ Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity. ¹⁷ Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer. ¹⁸ Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.

⁵ But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

¹³ Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.

⁷ Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

²² It is God who has taken them out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox.

¹⁷ He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.

⁹ Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store? ¹⁰ Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?

⁵³ When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

⁵⁹ So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

³⁰ After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

³⁰ The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree. ³¹ Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins. ³² And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

¹⁷ But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

²⁵ My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

⁹ I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words. ¹⁰ Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

¹⁸ Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come. ¹⁹ Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

⁴⁸ But he in answer said to him who gave the news, Who is my mother and who are my brothers? ⁴⁹ And he put out his hand to his disciples and said, See, my mother and my brothers!

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

²⁵ Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired? ²⁶ And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

²⁹ Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

¹¹ For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers, ¹² Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

⁸ O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples. ⁹ Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works. ¹⁰ Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad. ¹¹ Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him. ¹² Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth; ¹³ O you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

³⁰ A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

⁸ Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

¹² I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.

³ Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad. ⁴ Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him. ⁵ Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth; ⁶ O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones. ⁷ He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

⁵ So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

¹ O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever. ² Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

¹¹ You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

¹³ He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

¹⁹ Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron: ²⁰ Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.

¹⁹ To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.

³ For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.

⁵⁰ His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.

²⁰ Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.

¹⁹ Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the Holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves; ²⁰ For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

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.

² O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

⁶ But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

⁶ This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

¹⁰ All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

¹⁷ Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

²⁹ But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord. ³⁰ I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done. ³¹ This will be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, or a young ox of full growth. ³² The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life. ³³ For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners. ³⁴ Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.

³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble. ⁵ The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy. ⁶ The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.

⁵ I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

⁶ I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame. ⁷ For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right. ⁸ He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me. ⁹ See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.

⁴⁶ And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

²² I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

¹⁸ I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.

¹² I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

¹³ I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

¹⁶ Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

¹ Let the Lord be praised. I will give praise to the Lord with all my heart, among the upright, and in the meeting of the people.

¹⁴ I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people. ¹⁵ Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken. ¹⁷ I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord. ¹⁸ I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people; ¹⁹ In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.

¹⁹ Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord. ²⁰ This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

⁴ When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken. ⁵ It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.

¹¹ And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord. ¹² If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil. ¹³ With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering. ¹⁴ And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar. ¹⁵ And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning. ¹⁶ But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after: ¹⁷ But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.

¹⁶ Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

³² The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.

³ Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad. ⁴ Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

⁹ He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

⁶ And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.

¹³ For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead. ⁵⁰ The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews had an angry discussion among themselves, saying, How is it possible for this man to give us his flesh for food? ⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, If you do not take the flesh of the Son of man for food, and if you do not take his blood for drink, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day. ⁵⁵ My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

⁸ Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

⁸ Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

⁹ Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.

⁷ Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.

³ He has kept in mind his mercy and his unchanging faith to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

²² When the peoples are come together, and the kingdoms, to give worship to the Lord.

¹ Let all the nations give praise to the Lord: let all the people give him praise.

²² Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

⁸ Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners. ⁹ Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;

⁶ It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

¹² See, these are coming from far; and these from the north and the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

¹⁵ Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

²¹ Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me. ¹⁹ So, then, King Agrippa, I did not go against the vision from heaven; ²⁰ But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.

²⁶ But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

⁹ For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

⁹ After these things I saw a great army of people more than might be numbered, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and languages, taking their places before the high seat and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and with branches in their hands, ¹⁰ Saying with a loud voice, Salvation to our God who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels were round about the high seat, and about the rulers and the four beasts; and they went down on their faces before the high seat, and gave worship to God, saying, ¹² So be it. Let blessing and glory and wisdom and praise and honour and power and strength be given to our God for ever and ever. So be it.

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge. ⁸ God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

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.

²¹ And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.

⁹ And the Lord will be King over all the earth: in that day there will be one Lord and his name one.

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

¹⁵ And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

¹² And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

⁶ Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores. ⁷ Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself; ⁸ Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it. ⁹ So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.

¹⁰ Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores. ¹¹ Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

⁷ Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire.

³¹ The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

⁷ He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

¹⁶ For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.

¹⁹ Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

⁴ And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.

²³ By myself have I taken an oath, a true word has gone from my mouth, and will not be changed, that to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give honour.

³ And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn. ⁴ Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care. ⁵ Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

¹⁶ And you will take the milk of the nations, flowing from the breast of kings; and you will see that I, the Lord, am your saviour, and he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

⁹ I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?

³⁶ He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; ²⁶ And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

¹⁰ But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge. ¹¹ For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God. ¹² So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

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,

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works. ¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not in the book of life, he went down into the sea of fire.

²⁴ And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it.

⁵ Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

⁶ This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. Selah.

¹⁵ If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

⁶ The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. Selah.

²⁸ The children of your servants will have a safe resting-place, and their seed will be ever before you.

¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) see a seed, long life, (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) will do well in his hand (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) .

⁹ And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

²⁶ Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ. ²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

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.

⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

⁹ I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.

⁶ So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

¹⁸ This will be put in writing for the coming generation, and the people of the future will give praise to the Lord.

⁴ One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength. ⁵ My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works. ⁶ Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory. ⁷ Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

³ For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring. ⁴ And they will come up like grass in a well-watered field, like water-plants by the streams. ⁵ One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

²¹ Then you will say in your heart, Who has given me all these children? when my children had been taken from me, and I was no longer able to have others, who took care of these? when I was by myself, where then were these? ²² This is the word of the Lord God: See, I will make a sign with my hand to the nations, and put up my flag for the peoples; and they will take up your sons on their beasts, and your daughters on their backs. ²³ And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

¹ Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

⁴ Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.

⁷ Before her pains came, she gave birth; before her pains, she gave birth to a man-child. ⁸ When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away. ⁹ Will I by whom the birth was started, not make it complete? says the Lord. Will I who make children come to birth, let them be kept back? says your God.

¹⁷ For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

²¹ But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets; ²² That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another, ²³ For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God; ²⁴ And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

¹⁹ Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man. ²⁰ And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace: ²¹ That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
