The LORD reigneth over the strong. ¹⁴ Ephraim was the first against Amalek, and after them Benjamin, among the people. Of Machir came learned men in the law, and of Zebulun that well could draw with the pen of a scribe. ¹⁵ The lords of Issachar were with Deborah. And as Barak, even so was Issachar sent into the valley afoot. But in the divisions of Reuben, were great imaginations of heart. ¹⁶ Wherefore abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben, great were the imaginations of heart. ¹⁷ Gilead abode on the other side Jordan, and why tarried Dan in ships? And Asher sat in the havens of the sea, and abode still in his own coasts. ¹⁸ But Zebulun is a people that put their lives in jeopardy of death, and Naphtali in like manner, even unto the top of the fields. ¹⁹ Kings came and fought. Then fought the king of Canaan at Taanach, upon the water of Megiddo. But the silver that they coveted, they carried not away. ²⁰ From heaven came battle: for the stars, being in their course, fought against Sisera. ²¹ The river of Kishon caught them away: that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, tread thou the mighty underfoot. ²² Then they mauled the horses' legs, that their mighty coursers left prancing. ²³ 'Curse Meroz,' bade the angel of the LORD, 'Curse, Curse the inhabiters thereof because they came not forth to help the LORD, to help the LORD among the mighty.' ²⁴ Blessed be Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, above other women: above other women blessed be she in the tent. ²⁵ He asked water, but she gave him milk, and brought butter in a goodly dish. ²⁶ She caught a nail in her left hand, and a working hammer in her right, and nailed Sisera and wounded his head and pierced and went through his temples. ²⁷ Between her feet he bowed himself, fell down and lay still: Between her feet he bowed himself and fell. And whither he bowed himself, thither he fell, brought to nought. ²⁸ Through a window looked Sisera's mother and howled through a lattice, 'Why abideth his chariot so long, that it cometh not? Why tarry the wheels of his wagons?' ²⁹ The wisest of her ladies answered her: yea and she answered her own words herself, ³⁰ 'Haply, they have found, and divide, the spoil. A maid, yea two maids for a piece: a spoil of divers colours for Sisera, a spoil of divers colours with broidered works, divers coloured broidered works for the neck for a prey.' ³¹ So, perish all thine enemies LORD: but they that love thee, let them be as the sun rising in his might!" And the land had rest forty years.

¹ And Hannah prayed and said, "Mine heart rejoiceth in the LORD. Mine horn is high in the LORD and my mouth is wide open over mine enemies, for I rejoice in thy salvation. ² There is none so holy as the LORD: no, there is none save thou. Neither is there any strength like unto our God. ³ Let go your great boasting of high things, let go out of your mouth that old byword: for the LORD is a God that knoweth all things, and judgeth the thoughts. ⁴ The bows of the strong are broken: and the weak are endued with strength. ⁵ They that were full, have hired out themselves for bread, and they that were hungry cease so to be: insomuch that the barren hath borne seven, and she that had many children is waxed feeble. ⁶ The LORD killeth and maketh alive; bringeth down to hell and fetcheth up again. ⁷ The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich; bringeth low, and heaveth up on high. ⁸ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill: to set them among princes, and to inherit them with the seat of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the round world upon them. ⁹ He will keep the feet of his saints but the wicked shall keep silence in darkness. For in his own might shall no man be strong. ¹⁰ The LORD's adversaries shall be made to fear him: and out of heaven he shall thunder upon them. The LORD shall judge the ends of the world, and shall give might unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."

³⁰ And Hezekiah the king and the lords bade the Levites to praise the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer of visions. And the Levites praised that they rejoiced again, and the other stooped and bowed themselves.

¹⁸ For though he make a wound, he giveth a medicine again: though he smite, his hand maketh whole again.

¹ {To the Chanter, of David, servant of the Lord, which said unto the Lord the words of this song, on the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and said} I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

¹¹ Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness. ¹² Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

¹⁷ Foolish men were plagued for their offense, and because of their wickedness. ¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of meat, and they were even hard at death's door. ¹⁹ So when they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, he delivered them out of their distress. ²⁰ He sent his word, and healed them; and they were saved from their destruction. ²¹ O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! ²² — That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

¹ I am well pleased, that the LORD hath heard the voice of my prayer, ² that he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ³ The snares of death compassed me round about, the pains of hell got hold upon me. ⁴ I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the LORD, "O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul."

¹⁸ The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death. ¹⁹ Open me the gates of righteousness, that I may go in there through, and give thanks unto the LORD.

¹ So that then thou shalt say, "I will praise thee O LORD, that though thou were angry with me, yet thine anger is turned, and thou hast comforted me. ² Behold, God is my salvation: I will be bold therefore and not fear. For the LORD God is my strength and my praise whereof I sing: and is become my saviour. ³ And ye shall draw water in gladness out of the wells of salvation. ⁴ And ye shall say in that day, 'Give thanks unto the LORD: call on his name: make his deeds known among the heathen: remember that his name is high.' ⁵ Lift up! Sing unto the LORD, for he hath done excellently, and that is known throughout all the world. ⁶ Cry and shout thou inhabiter of Zion, for great among you is the holy of Israel.

¹ In their adversity they shall seek me, and say, "Come, let us turn again to the LORD: for he hath smitten us, and he shall heal us; ² He hath wounded us, and he shall bind us up again; after two days shall he quicken us, in the third day he shall raise us up, so that we shall live in his sight.

¹ And Jonah prayed unto the LORD his god out of the bowels of the fish. ² And he said, "In my tribulation I called unto the LORD, and he answered me: out of the belly of hell I cried, and thou heardest my voice. ³ For thou hadst cast me down deep in the midst of the sea; and the flood compassed me about: and all thy waves and rolls of water went over me. ⁴ And I thought that I had been cast away out of thy sight. But I will yet again look toward thy holy temple. ⁵ The water compassed me even unto the very soul of me; the deep lay about me, and the weeds were wrapped about mine head. ⁶ And I went down unto the bottom of the hills, and was barred in with earth on every side forever. And yet thou, LORD my God, broughtest up my life again out of corruption. ⁷ When my soul fainted in me, I thought on the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, even into thy holy temple. ⁸ They that observe vain vanities, have forsaken him that was merciful unto them. ⁹ But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving, and will pay that that I have vowed, that saving cometh of the LORD."

¹¹ What power have I to endure? Or, what is mine end, that my soul might be patient?

⁷ "O remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall no more see the pleasures thereof;

¹¹ My days are past, my thoughts are vanished away, which have vexed my heart, ¹² changing the night into day, and the light into darkness. ¹³ Though I tarry never so much, yet the grave is my house, and I must make my bed in the dark. ¹⁴ I call corruption my father, and the worms call I my mother and my sister. ¹⁵ What helpeth then my long tarrying? Or, who will fulfill the thing that I look for? ¹⁶ All that I have, shall go down into the pit, and lie with me in the dust."

²⁴ Yet will I say, "O my God, take me not away in the midst of my age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations."

¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of meat, and they were even hard at death's door.

¹ Not long afore this, was Hezekiah sick unto death: And the Prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came unto him, and said, "Thus commandeth the LORD, 'Set thine house in order: for thou must die, and shall not escape.

⁹ Also we received an answer of death in ourselves, and that was done because we should not put our trust in ourselves, but in God, which raiseth the dead to life again -

¹⁴ "When thou speakest, then, should not he pardon thee, if thou open thyself before him, and put thy trust in him? ¹⁵ Then useth he no violence in his wrath, neither hath he pleasure in curious and deep inquisitions.

⁴ Turn thee, O LORD, and deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercies' sake. ⁵ For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the hell?

¹³ I should utterly have fainted, but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

²² And when I made haste, I said, "I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes." Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee.

⁸ And why? Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before the LORD, in the land of the living.

⁵ For they that be living, know that they shall die: but they that be dead, know nothing, neither deserve they anymore. For their memorial is forgotten, ⁶ so that they be neither loved, hated nor envied: neither have they anymore part in the world, in all that is done under the Sun.

²⁰ They shall be destroyed from morning unto the evening: yea, they shall perish everlastingly, and no man think thereon.

⁹ That he would begin and smite me: that he would let his hand go, and hew me down.

³ Even so have I laboured whole months long - but in vain - and many a careful night have I told. ⁴ When I laid me down to sleep, I said, 'O when shall I rise?' Again, I longed sore for the night. Thus am I full of sorrow, till it be dark. ⁵ My flesh is clothed with worms, filthiness and dust; my skin is withered, and crumpled together; ⁶ my days pass over more speedily than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. ⁷ "O remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall no more see the pleasures thereof;

²⁵ "My days are more swift than a runner: they are gone, and have seen no good thing. ²⁶ They are passed away, as the ships that be good under sail, and as the Eagle that hasteth to the prey.

² He cometh up and is cut down like a flower. He flyeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one state.

¹ My breath faileth, my days are shortened. I am hard at death's door.

¹⁴ Wherefore should I be then punished daily, and be chastened every morning?"

⁴⁵ The days of his youth hast thou shortened, and covered him with dishonour. Selah. ⁴⁶ LORD, how long wilt thou hide thyself? Forever? And shall thy wrath burn like fire? ⁴⁷ O remember how short my time is; hast thou made all men for nought?

¹¹ My days are gone like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.

²³ He hath brought down my strength in my journey, and shortened my days. ²⁴ Yet will I say, "O my God, take me not away in the midst of my age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations."

²³ Princes also sit and speak against me; but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.

⁸ Moreover the daughter of Zion is left alone like a cottage in a vineyard, like a watch house in time of war, like a besieged city.

²⁰ It shall never be more inhabited; neither shall there be any more dwelling there, from generation to generation. The Arabians shall make no more tents there; neither shall the shepherds make their folds there any more;

¹ We know surely if our earthy mansion wherein we now dwell were destroyed, that we have a building ordained of God, a habitation not made with hands, but eternal in heaven:

⁴ For as long as we are in this tabernacle, we sigh and are grieved: for we would not be unclothed: but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

¹² and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art always, and thy years shall not fail."

¹⁴ and yet cannot tell what shall happen tomorrow. For what thing is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

¹³ Notwithstanding, I think it mete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.

²⁴ And as he journeyed, a lion met him by the way and slew him, and his carcass lay along in the way and the ass stood thereby, and the lion stood by the corpse also. ²⁵ And men that passed by, saw the carcass cast along in the way and the lion standing thereby, and went and told it in the town where the old prophet dwelt. ²⁶ And when the prophet that brought him back again from the way, heard thereof, he said, "It is the man of God which disobeyed the mouth of the LORD. And therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion which hath rent him and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he said to him."

³⁶ And he said, "Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD: behold, as soon as thou art departed from me a lion shall slay thee." And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him and slew him.

¹⁶ Thou huntest me out, being in heaviness, as it were a lion, and troublest me out of measure. ¹⁷ Thou bringest fresh witnesses against me, and thy wrath increasest thou upon me; very many are the plagues that I am in.

¹² I was some time in wealth, but suddenly hath he brought me to naught. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and set me, as it were a mark for him to shoot at. ¹³ His archers compass me round about; he hath wounded my loins, and not spared. My bowels hath he poured upon the ground. ¹⁴ He hath given me one wound upon another, and is fallen upon me like a giant.

¹⁰ Turn thy plagues away from me, for I am consumed through the fear of thy hand.

²² O consider this, ye that forget God, lest I pluck you away, and there be none to deliver you.

⁸ Oh let me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

²⁴ And as for those men which had accused Daniel, the king commanded to bring them, and to cast them in the Lions' den: them, their children, and their wives. So the Lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones asunder, before they came at the ground.

¹⁴ I am unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a lion's whelp to the house of Judah. Even I, I will spoil them, and go my way. I will take them with me, and no man shall rescue them.

³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. ³¹ If we had truly judged ourselves, we should not have been judged. ³² But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

³ O deliver me and set me by thee: who shall then be able to thrust my hands together?

²⁹ But now I am a companion of dragons, and a fellow of ostriches.

³ I am weary of crying; my throat is dry. My sight faileth me, for waiting so long upon my God.

⁴ My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass, so that I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ For the voice of my groaning, my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh. ⁶ I am become like a pelican in the wilderness, and like an owl in a broken wall. ⁷ I watch, and am even as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon the housetop.

⁸² Mine eyes long sore for thy word, saying, "O when wilt thou comfort me?"

¹²² Be thou surety for thy servant to do him good, that the proud do me no wrong. ¹²³ Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health, and for the word of thy righteousness.

¹ {A song of the stairs} Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. ² Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hands of her mistress, even so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he have mercy upon us. ³ Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we are utterly despised. ⁴ Our soul is filled with the scornful reproof of the wealthy, and with the despitefulness of the proud.

⁷ Hear me, O LORD, and that soon, for my spirit waxeth faint; hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the grave.

¹¹ We roar all like Bears, and mourn still like doves. We look for equity, but there is none; for health, but it is far from us.

¹⁷ {Pe} Wherefore yet our eyes fail us, while we look for vain help: seeing we be ever waiting upon a people that can do us no good.

¹⁶ "And such as escape and flee from among them, shall be upon the hills, like as the doves in the field: every one shall be afraid, because of his own wickedness.

⁷ The queen herself shall be led away captive, and her gentlewomen shall mourn as the doves, and groan within their hearts.

⁸ Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?

¹⁰ And she was troubled in her spirits, and prayed unto the LORD and wept sore,

²⁷ When Ahab heard those words, he rent his clothes and put sackcloth about his flesh and fasted, and lay in sack and went comfortless.

²⁷ Then she went to the man of God up to the hill and caught him by the feet. And Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away. But the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is vexed, and the LORD hath hid it from me and hath not told it me."

¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments,

¹¹ Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speak in the trouble of my spirit; in that bitterness of my mind will I talk.

¹ It grieveth my soul to live. Nevertheless, now will I put forth my words: I will speak out of the very heaviness of my soul,

²⁵ Another dieth in sorrow and heaviness, and never had good days.

⁹ I became dumb, and opened not my mouth; for it was thy doing. ¹⁰ Turn thy plagues away from me, for I am consumed through the fear of thy hand.

²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say, 'Father deliver me from this hour?' But therefore came I unto this hour.

³ He humbled thee and made thee hunger and fed thee with Manna, which neither thou nor thy father knew of, to make thee know that a man must not live by bread only: but by all that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD must a man live.

¹⁹ "He chasteneth him with sickness, and bringeth him to his bed: he layeth sore punishment upon his bones, ²⁰ so that his life may away with no bread, and his soul abhorreth to eat any dainty meat: ²¹ Insomuch that his body is clean consumed away, and his bones appear no more. ²² His soul draweth on to destruction, and his life to death. ²³ Now if there be a messenger, one among a thousand sent for to speak unto man, and to show him the right way; ²⁴ then the LORD is merciful unto him, and sayeth, 'He shall be delivered, that he fall not down to destruction, for I am sufficiently reconciled.' ²⁵ Then his flesh, which hath been in misery and trouble, shall be as it was in his youth. ²⁶ For if he submit himself unto God, he is gracious, and showeth him his countenance joyfully, and rewardeth man for his righteousness. ²⁷ Such a respect hath he unto men. Therefore let a man confess, and say, 'I offended, but he hath chastened and reformed me: I did unrighteously nevertheless he hath not recompensed me thereafter. ²⁸ Yea, he hath delivered my soul from destruction, and my life, that it seeth the light.'

²⁰ O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

²⁵ {Daleth} My soul cleaveth unto the dust; O quicken thou me, according to thy word.

⁵ Thou helpest him that doth right with cheerfulness, and them that think upon thy ways. But lo, thou art angry: for we offend, and have been ever in sin, and there is not one whole.

⁴ He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'"

³² But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world.

¹⁷ For our exceeding tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepareth an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us,

¹⁰ And they verily for a few days nurtured us after their own pleasure; but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness. ¹¹ No manner chastising for the present time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness unto them which are therein exercised.

²⁵ For the thing that I feared is come upon me: and the thing that I was afraid of, is happened unto me. ²⁶ Was I not happy? Had I not quietness? Was I not in rest? And now cometh such misery upon me!"

¹⁸ "Therefore, I thought verily that I should have died in my nest: and that my days should have been as many as the sands of the sea.

² While the ungodly hath the overhand, the poor must suffer persecution; let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined!

³ Thou, LORD, hast brought my soul out of hell: thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

⁶ And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong. ⁷ But as soon as thou didst turn thy face from me, I was troubled.

² He brought me out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay; he set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings.

² Thou hast forgiven the offense of thy people, and covered all their sins. Selah.

¹³ For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.

⁴ I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit, and I am even as a man that hath no strength; ⁵ free among the dead, like unto them that lie in the grave, which be out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand. ⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep.

²⁵ Whereas I yet am even he only, that for mine own self's sake do away thine offenses, and forget thy sins: so that I will never think upon them.

³⁴ And from thenceforth shall no man teach his neighbour or his brother, and say, 'Know the LORD.' But they shall all know me, from the lowest unto the highest, sayeth the LORD. For I will forgive their misdeeds, and will never remember their sins anymore.

⁶ And I went down unto the bottom of the hills, and was barred in with earth on every side forever. And yet thou, LORD my God, broughtest up my life again out of corruption.

¹⁸ Where is there such a God as thou? That pardonest wickedness, and forgivest the offenses of the remnant of thine heritage? He keepeth not his wrath for ever. And why? His delight is to have compassion. ¹⁹ He shall turn again, and be merciful to us: he shall put down our wickednesses, and cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.

³³ And they and all that pertained unto them, went down alive unto hell, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation.

⁵ For in death no man remembereth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the hell?

⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down into the pit? Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? Or shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰ Dost thou show wonders among the dead? Can the Physicians raise them up again, that they may praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ May thy loving-kindness be showed in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹⁷ The dead praise not thee, O LORD, neither all they that go down into silence. ¹⁸ But we will praise thee LORD, from this time forth for evermore. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

³² The ungodly is afraid of every peril; but the righteous hath a good hope even in death.

¹² And the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the righteous into life eternal.

²⁶ Beyond all this, between you and us there is a great space set, so that they which would go from hence to you, cannot: neither may come from thence to us.' ²⁷ Then he said, 'I pray thee therefore father, send him to my father's house. ²⁸ For I have five brethren: for to warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' ²⁹ Abraham said unto him, 'They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.' ³⁰ And he said, 'Nay, father Abraham, but if one came unto them from the dead they would repent.' ³¹ He said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, though one rose from death again.'"

¹⁹ For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do after right and conscience, that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that he hath promised him."

²⁶ And when your children ask you, 'What manner of service is this ye do?' ²⁷ Ye shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, which passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, as he smote the Egyptians and saved our houses.'" Then the people bowed themselves and worshipped.

¹⁴ And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' Thou shalt say unto him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And when Pharaoh was loath to let us go, the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: as well the firstborn of men as of beasts. And therefore I sacrifice unto the LORD all the males that open the matrix, but all the firstborn of my children I must redeem.'

⁹ Take heed to thyself therefore only and keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thine life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son's sons.

⁷ And thou shalt whet them on thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou art at home in thine house and as thou walkest by the way; and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.

¹⁹ and teach them your children: so that thou talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up:

²¹ And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, "When your children ask you in time to come saying, 'What mean these stones?' ²² Show your children and say, 'Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.'

³ which we have heard and known, and such as our fathers have told us, ⁴ that we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come but to show the honour of the LORD, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done. ⁵ He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, ⁶ that their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn, to the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same;

¹⁷ I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

¹⁷⁵ O let my soul live, and praise thee, that thy judgments may help me.

⁴ One generation shall praise thy works unto another, and declare thy power.

² While I live will I praise the LORD; yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.

³ Tell your children of it, and let them show it to their children, and so they - to certify their posterity thereof.

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death. ¹⁴ That I may show all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.

⁵ For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; yea in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone. ⁶ And now shall he lift up mine head above mine enemies round about me. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness; I will sing and speak praises unto the LORD.

² Praise the LORD with harp; sing psalms unto him with the lute and instrument of ten strings.

¹⁵ Open my lips, O LORD, that my mouth may show thy praise.

¹³ I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings, to pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks and goats. Selah.

²⁵ The singers go before, the minstrels follow after; in the midst are the damsels playing with the timbrels.

² that he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the LORD in the sight of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of the LORD's house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

² Every day will I give thanks unto thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever.

⁴ Praise him in the cymbals and dances; praise him upon the strings and pipe.

¹⁹ The LORD God is my strength, he shall make my feet as the feet of harts: and he which giveth the victory, shall bring me to my high places, singing upon my psalms.

⁷ And Isaiah said, "Bring a lump of figs." And they brought and put it on the sore, and he recovered. ⁸ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, "What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?"

³³ And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and did spit, and touched his tongue,

⁶ As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind,

⁸ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, "What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?"

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} Like as the hart desireth the water brooks, so longeth my soul after thee, O God. ² My soul is athirst for God, yea even for the living God; when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?

¹ {Upon Gittith, a Psalm of the sons of Korah} O how amiable are thy dwellings, thou LORD of Hosts! ² My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

¹⁰ For one day in thy court is better than a thousand.
