¹³ and ye shall offer in burnt offering, a sacrifice on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD: thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish

³⁹ These things ye shall offer unto the LORD in your solemnities, besides your vows, and your freewill offerings, in your burnt offerings, and in your presents, and in your drink offerings, and in your peace offerings.

⁶ And there ye shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes and the offerings of your hand and your vows and your freewill offerings and the firstborn of your cows and of your sheep;

¹⁷ Thou may not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain or of thy wine or of thy oil or the firstborn of thy cows or of thy sheep nor any of thy vows which thou hast promised nor thy freewill offerings or the heave offerings of thy hands.

³¹ Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and praises in the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and praises, and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings. ³² And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for the burnt offering of the LORD.

⁶ Command, therefore, now that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon, and my slaves shall be with thy slaves, and I will give thee for thy slaves the hire that thou shalt appoint, for thou knowest that there is no one among us with the skill to hew timber like the Sidonians.

⁹ My slaves shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea, and I will convey them by sea in rafts unto the place that thou shalt appoint me and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. ¹⁰ ¶ So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. ¹¹ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household and twenty thousand measures of pure oil; this gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.

¹¹ And they gave sufficient money into the hands of those that did the work and of those that had the responsibility of the house of the LORD; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that repaired the house of the LORD, ¹² and to the masons and hewers of stone and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

⁵ and let them deliver it into the hands of those that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house, ⁶ unto carpenters and builders and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house;

¹⁰ And, behold, I will give to thy slaves, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat and twenty thousand measures of barley and twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of oil. ¹¹ ¶ Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD has loved his people, he has placed thee as king over them. ¹² Hiram said, moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made the heavens and the earth, who has given to King David a wise son with knowledge, good sense and understanding, that he might build a house for the LORD and a house for his kingdom. ¹³ And now I have sent a wise man, with knowledge and understanding, of Hiram my father, ¹⁴ the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson; also to engrave any manner of figure and to invent any design which shall be put to him, with thy craftsmen and with the craftsmen of my lord David, thy father. ¹⁵ Now, therefore, let my lord send unto his slaves the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which he has spoken of; ¹⁶ and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need, and we will bring it to thee in rafts by sea to Joppa, and thou shalt cause it to be carried up to Jerusalem.

¹² And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those that did the work of the service of the house of the LORD and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD and also those that wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD. ¹³ So the workmen wrought, and by their hands the work was done, and they restored the house of God and strengthened it.

² Thus saith Cyrus, king of Persia, The LORD God of the heavens has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. ³ Who is there among you of all his people? Let God be with him and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem. ⁴ And whoever may remain of all the places where they remained a stranger, let the men of his place help him with silver and with gold and with goods and with beasts, with freewill gifts for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

³ In the first year of Cyrus, the king, the same Cyrus, the king, gave a commandment concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, that the house be built as a place for sacrifices to be offered, and let the walls thereof be covered; the height thereof sixty cubits, and the breadth thereof sixty cubits; ⁴ the orders, three of stones of marble and one order of new timber and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house. ⁵ And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which was at Jerusalem and brought unto Babylon, be restored and go again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, to his place, and let them be placed in the house of God.

¹⁷ Judah, and the land of Israel; they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market with wheat, Minnith and Pannag and honey and oil and balm.

³ But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD and went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish fleeing from the presence of the LORD.

³⁶ ¶ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas; this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds {lit. acts of mercy} which she did.

⁵ And now send men to Joppa and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter; ⁶ he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side; he shall tell thee what it behooves thee to do.

²⁰ ¶ And Herod was highly displeased with those of Tyre and Sidon, but they came with one accord to him, and, having bribed Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace because their lands were supplied through those of the king’s.

³ from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do work in the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁴ Of which, twenty-four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD, and six thousand were officers and judges;

²⁴ ¶ These are the sons of Levi after the houses of their fathers, even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did work in the ministry of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The LORD God of Israel has given rest unto his people, and he shall dwell in Jerusalem for ever. ²⁶ And also unto the Levites, they shall no longer carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its ministry. ²⁷ For by the last words of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above. ²⁸ And their station was at the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and in the work of the ministry of the house of God, ²⁹ both for the showbread and for the fine flour for the sacrifice and for the unleavened cakes and for that which is baked in the pan and for that which is fried and for all manner of measure and size, ³⁰ and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening; ³¹ and to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons and solemnities, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD. ³² And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony and the charge of the holy place and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, in the ministry of the house of the LORD.

³ But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God; but we alone will build unto the LORD God of Israel as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.

⁴⁰ The Levites: the sons of Jeshua and of Kadmiel, of the sons of Hodaviah, seventy-four.

⁸ ¶ And in the second year of their coming unto the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren, the priests and the Levites, and all those that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

⁴³ The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the sons of Hodevah, seventy-four.

⁴⁰ ¶ And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats; thou shalt also make girdles for them, and tiaras shalt thou make for them, for honour and for beauty. ⁴¹ And with these thou shalt clothe Aaron, thy brother, and his sons with him and shalt anoint them and fill their hands and sanctify them that they may be my priests. ⁴² And thou shalt make them linen underwear to cover their nakedness; they shall reach from the loins even unto the thighs;

¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, ² Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them that thou may use them for the convocation of the congregation and for the moving of the camp. ³ And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall join themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. ⁴ But when they blow only one, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. ⁵ When ye blow an alarm, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged towards the east. ⁶ And when ye blow an alarm the second time, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged on the side of the Negev; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. ⁷ But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. ⁸ And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and you shall have them as a perpetual statute throughout your generations. ⁹ And when ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. ¹⁰ Also in the day of your gladness and in your solemn days and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God; I AM your God.

¹⁸ Then the king said to Doeg, Turn thou and fall upon the priests. And Doeg, the Edomite, turned and he fell upon the priests and slew on that day eighty-five men that wore a linen ephod.

³¹ ¶ And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after the ark had rest. ³² And they served before the tent of the tabernacle of the testimony with singing until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and then they remained in their ministry according to their right. ³³ And these are those that remained with their sons. Of the sons of the Kohath: Heman, a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel, ³⁴ the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah, ³⁵ the son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai, ³⁶ the son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah, ³⁷ the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, ³⁸ the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel. ³⁹ And his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, even Asaph the son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea, ⁴⁰ the son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchiah, ⁴¹ the son of Ethni, the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah, ⁴² the son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei, ⁴³ the son of Jahath, the son of Gershon, the son of Levi. ⁴⁴ And their brethren, the sons of Merari, stood on the left hand; Ethan, the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch, ⁴⁵ the son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, ⁴⁶ the son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer, ⁴⁷ the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi. ⁴⁸ Their brethren, also the Levites, were given over unto all the ministry of the tabernacle of the house of God.

²⁴ And Shebaniah, Jehoshaphat, Nethaneel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obededom and Jehiah were also doorkeepers for the ark.

²⁷ And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and also all the Levites that bore the ark and the singers and Chenaniah, the prince of the prophecy of the singers. David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

⁴ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD and to record and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: ⁵ Asaph, the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps, but Asaph resounded with cymbals; ⁶ and Benaiah and Jahaziel, the priests, with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. ⁷ ¶ Then, on that day, David began to thank the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

³⁷ ¶ So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren to minister before the ark continually, each thing in its day;

⁴² And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals to sound, and with other musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

⁵ moreover, four thousand were porters, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which David had made to praise therewith.

¹ ¶ Moreover David and the captains of the host separated unto the ministry the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals; and the number of men that were suitable for the work of their respective ministry was, ² of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the hand of the king. ³ Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hand of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD. ⁴ Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. ⁵ All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s seer, in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶ All these were under the direction of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the ministry of the house of God, under the hand of the king, of Asaph, of Jeduthun, and of Heman. ⁷ So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that had understanding, was two hundred eighty-eight.

²⁵ And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad, the king’s seer, and of Nathan, the prophet, for that commandment was by the hand of the LORD, by the hand of his prophets. ²⁶ And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

¹⁵ Likewise, the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king’s seer; and the porters waited at every gate; it was not necessary for them to depart from their ministry, for their brethren, the Levites, prepared for them.

²⁴ The heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brethren before them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the statute of David, the man of God, keeping each one their ward. ²⁵ Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the captain, and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

¹⁰ For who has despised the day of small beginnings? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. Those seven are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

²¹ And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

⁵ And when they make a long sound of jubilee with the horn so that ye hear the voice of the shofar, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat; then the people shall ascend up each man straight before him.

¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, Shout; then ye shall shout.

¹⁶ And when the priests had blown the shofarot the seventh time, Joshua said unto the people, Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.

³⁴ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal.

⁴¹ and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest that were chosen expressly by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy is eternal.

³ And when all the sons of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they fell to the ground upon the pavement upon their faces and worshipped and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.

²⁴ The heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brethren before them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the statute of David, the man of God, keeping each one their ward.

⁴⁰ Then the two choirs stood in the house of God, and I and half of the rulers with me;

⁷ ¶ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. ⁸ Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. ⁹ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. ¹⁰ Who is this King of glory? The LORD of the hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

¹ To the Overcomer:
A Psalm for the sons of Korah. ¶ O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

⁵ ¶ God is gone up with a shout of joy, the LORD with the sound of the shofar.

¹³ Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, the set time, is come. ¹⁴ For thy slaves love her stones and have compassion on the dust thereof.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,

¹ ¶ Halelu-JAH. O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.

¹ ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.

¹ ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good because his mercy endures for ever.

³ praise JAH; for the LORD is good; sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

¹ ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever. ² O give thanks unto the God of gods, for his mercy endures for ever. ³ O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures for ever. ⁴ To the only one who does great wonders: for his mercy endures for ever. ⁵ To him that by intelligence made the heavens: for his mercy endures for ever. ⁶ To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endures for ever. ⁷ To him that made the great lights: for his mercy endures for ever: ⁸ The sun to rule in the day: for his mercy endures for ever: ⁹ The moon and stars to rule in the night: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹⁰ ¶ To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endures for ever: ¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endures for ever: ¹² With a strong hand and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹³ To him who divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endures for ever: ¹⁴ And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endures for ever: ¹⁵ But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹⁶ To him who led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹⁷ To him who smote great kings: for his mercy endures for ever. ¹⁸ And slew powerful kings: for his mercy endures for ever, ¹⁹ Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endures for ever: ²⁰ And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endures for ever: ²¹ And gave their land for an inheritance: for his mercy endures for ever: ²² Even an inheritance unto Israel his slave: for his mercy endures for ever. ²³ ¶ Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endures for ever: ²⁴ And has redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endures for ever. ²⁵ Who gives food to all flesh: for his mercy endures for ever. ²⁶ O give thanks unto the God of the heavens: for his mercy endures for ever.

¹ David’s Psalm of praise. ¶ Aleph I will extol thee, my God, my king, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. ² Beth Each day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. ³ Gimel Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. ⁴ Daleth One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts. ⁵ He I will speak of the beauty of the glory of thy majesty and of thy wondrous works. ⁶ Vau And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts, and I will declare thy greatness. ⁷ Zain They shall proclaim the memory of thy great goodness and shall sing of thy righteousness. ⁸ Cheth The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great mercy. ⁹ Teth The LORD is good to all; and his tender mercies shine over all his works. ¹⁰ ¶ Jod Let all thy works praise thee, O LORD, and thy merciful ones bless thee. ¹¹ Caph They speak of the glory of thy kingdom and talk of thy power,

³ And one cried out unto another and said, Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of the hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.

⁶ Rejoice and sing, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

²³ Sing praises, O ye heavens; for the LORD has done it; shout with joy, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into praise, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and in Israel he shall be glorified.

¹¹ the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that shall say, Praise the LORD of the hosts; for the LORD is good; for his mercy endures for ever: and of those that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to turn as at the first, said the LORD.

⁹ ¶ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout with joy, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King shall come unto thee: just, and a saviour; humble, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁵⁰ And his mercy is on those that fear him from generation to generation.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of the heaven from and with God, ¹¹ having the clarity of God; and her light was like unto a most precious stone, even like a jasper stone, shining like crystal. ¹² And it had a wall great and high, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: ¹³ On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

⁷ In such a way that thy beginning would have been small, in comparison to the great increase of thy latter.

⁶ He that goes forth and weeps, bearing the precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye dead of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

²² The small one shall be as a thousand; the youngest as a strong nation; I the LORD will hasten it in its time.

⁸ Behold, I turn them from the land of the north wind and gather them from the coasts of the earth; there shall be blind and lame among them, and women with child and those that travail with child together; a great company shall return there. ⁹ They shall come with weeping, but with mercies I will cause them to return; I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, in which they shall not stumble; for I shall be a father to Israel, and Ephraim shall be my firstborn.

³⁴ Thou didst see until a stone was cut out, not with hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and baked clay and broke them to pieces. ³⁵ Then was the iron, the baked clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away that no place was found for them again; and the stone that smote the image was made into a great mountain that filled the whole earth.

³ Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see her now? Is she not as nothing before your eyes?

³¹ He put forth another parable unto them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; ³² which indeed is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and make their nests in its branches.

¹⁷ And Joshua, hearing the noise of the people as they shouted, said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. ¹⁸ And he answered, It is not the voice of those that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of those that cry for being overcome, but the noise of those that sing that I hear.

⁵ And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

⁵ And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with such a great shout that the earth trembled.

⁴⁰ Afterward all the people came up following him, and the people sang with flutes and rejoiced with great joy so that it seemed the earth rent with the sound of them.

⁴⁵ and Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king in Gihon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

⁴³ Also that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women also and the children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

¹¹ And all those that put their trust in thee shall rejoice: they shall ever be in jubilee, for thou shalt cover them; and all that love thy name shall be joyful in thee.

¹ A Psalm of praise. ¶ Make a joyful noise unto the LORD all the earth. ² Serve the LORD with gladness; come before his presence with joy.

⁷ Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? Thou shalt be reduced to a plain; and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

³⁷ And when he was come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸ saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should be silent, the stones would immediately cry out.
