¹ A Prayer of David. Hearken, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not uttered with deceitful lips. ² Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; let my eyes behold righteousness. ³ You has tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me; I am purposed that my mouth shall not speak amiss. ⁴ As for the works of men, by the words of Your lips I have guarded myself from hard ways. ⁵ Direct my steps in Your paths, that my steps slip not. ⁶ I have cried, for You heard me, O God: incline Your ear to me, and listen to my words. ⁷ Show the marvels of Your mercies, You that save them that trust in You. ⁸ Keep me as the apple of Your eye from those that resist Your right hand; You shall screen me by the covering of Your wings, ⁹ from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me; my enemies have compassed about my soul. ¹⁰ They have enclosed themselves with their own fat; their mouths have spoken pride. ¹¹ They have now cast me out and compassed me round about.

^{11 (24:12)} And behold, the skirt of your mantle is in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you. Know then and see this day, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against you, yet you lay snares for my life, to take it.

⁹ And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning,

¹⁸ Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.

⁷ Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness; they have fulfilled their intention. ⁸ They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness; they have uttered unrighteousness loftily. ⁹ They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.

⁷⁰ Their heart has been curdled like milk; but I have meditated on Your law.

⁴ Yea, our soul has been exceedingly filled with it: let the reproach be to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.

¹⁰ For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

⁵ And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemy, and authority was given to him to make war for forty-two months. ⁶ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

²⁶ And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David was hiding himself to escape from Saul; and Saul and his men encamped against David and his men, in order to take them.

^{2 (24:3)} And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem. ^{3 (24:4)} And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there. And Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.

² And Saul arose, and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, and with him went three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph. ³ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah in front of Jeshimon, by the way, and David dwelt in the wilderness.

⁸ He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor. ⁹ He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare. ¹⁰ He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.

¹⁴ Sinners have drawn their swords; they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay the upright in heart.

¹⁷ They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.

¹³ And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers. ¹⁴ His perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city.

² lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.

⁹ He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.

¹³ They have opened their mouth against Me, as a ravening and roaring lion.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

⁷ Arise, O Lord; deliver me, my God; for You have struck all who were my enemies without cause; You have broken the teeth of sinners.

⁶ Arise, O Lord, in Your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of my enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which You did command.

¹¹ God is a righteous Judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day. ¹² If you will not repent, He will furbish His sword; He has bent His bow, and made it ready. ¹³ And on it He has fitted the instruments of death; He has completed His arrows for the raging ones.

²⁰ Deliver My soul from the sword; My only begotten soul from the power of the dog.

²³ Awake, why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise, and do not cast us off forever.

²⁶ Arise, O Lord, and help us; redeem us for Your name's sake.

¹²⁶ It is time for the Lord to work; they have utterly broken Your law.

⁵ Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of My wrath and anger are in their hands.

¹⁵ Shall the ax glorify itself without him that chops with it? Or shall the saw lift itself up without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? But it shall not be so;

⁵ to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and His warriors are coming to destroy all the world.

²⁶ Have you not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed them from ancient times; but now have I manifested My purpose of desolating nations in their strongholds, and them that dwell in strong cities.

⁹ Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.

¹² Are You not from everlasting, O Lord God, my Holy One? And surely we shall not die. O Lord, You have established it for judgment, and He has formed me to chasten with His correction.

²⁸ to do all that Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to come to pass.

⁶ even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them.

⁹ Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?

⁷ Why do the ungodly live, and grow old even in wealth? ⁸ Their seed is according to their desire, and their children are in their sight. ⁹ Their houses are prosperous, and safe from fear, neither is the rod of the Lord upon them. ¹⁰ Their cow does not cast her calf, and their beast with young is safe, and does not miscarriage. ¹¹ And they remain as an unfailing flock, and their children play before them, taking up the psaltery and harp; ¹² and they rejoice at the voice of a song. ¹³ And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave. ¹⁴ Yet such a man says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know Your ways. ¹⁵ What is the Mighty One, that we should serve Him? And what profit is there that we should approach Him?

²¹ For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off.

¹⁸ Yet He filled their houses with good things, but the counsel for the wicked is far from Him.

¹⁴ And if their children are many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg. ¹⁵ And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows. ¹⁶ Even if he should gather silver as dust, and prepare gold as clay, ¹⁷ all these things shall the righteous gain, and the true-hearted shall possess His wealth.

⁶ Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain; he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.

¹⁷ For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him. ¹⁸ For his soul shall be blessed in his life; he shall give thanks to you when you do well to him. ¹⁹ Yet he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

³ For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners. ⁴ For there is no sign of reluctance in their death, and they have firmness under their affliction. ⁵ They are not in the troubles of other men; and they shall not be scourged with other men. ⁶ Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness. ⁷ Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness; they have fulfilled their intention.

¹² Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always; they have possessed wealth.

⁴ and if you shall seek it as silver, and search diligently for it as for treasures;

⁴⁴ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure having been hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it, he went and sold everything he had, and bought that field."

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid away for many years; relax; eat, drink, and be merry." ' ²⁰ But God said to him, 'You fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?' ²¹ So is he who accumulates treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

⁸ So the master praised the unrighteous manager because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of light.

²⁵ But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering.

²⁷ Then he said, 'Therefore I beseech you, father, that you would send him to my father's house, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

²³ And He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

⁵ You lived luxuriously upon the earth and you lived riotously, you nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

⁴ You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. ⁵ They are of the world: on account of this they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

²⁶ And God said, Let Us make man according to Our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth. ²⁷ And God made man, according to the image of God He made him, male and female He made them.

⁸ I will speak plainly to him, mouth to mouth, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?

¹⁵ But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you dwell upon their land. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, for He is holy.

¹² And man that has lain down in death shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.

²⁶ and to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these sufferings: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; ²⁷ which I am conscious of in myself, which my eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in my bosom.

⁶ Many say, Who will show us good things? The light of Your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us. ⁷ You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their grain and wine and oil.

⁷ But I will enter into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple.

⁷ For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; His face beholds uprightness.

¹¹ You have made known to me the ways of life; You will fill me with joy with Your countenance: at Your right hand there are delights forever.

⁸ They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of Your house; and You shall cause them to drink of the full stream of Your delights. ⁹ For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we shall see light.

¹⁴ They have laid them as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.

⁴ Blessed is he whom You have chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in Your courts; we shall be filled with the good things of Your house; Your temple is holy.

¹¹¹ I have inherited Your testimonies forever; for they are the joy of my heart.

¹⁹ The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice; for the dew from You is healing to them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

⁵² and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had passed away were raised; ⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

²¹ who will transform our lowly body, that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subject all things to Himself.

² Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is. ³ And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

¹⁶ They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; nor shall the sun by any means strike them, nor any scorching heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and He leads them to the springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them. ⁴ And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying out; neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away."

²³ The city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
