³¹ Lo: thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. ³² He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the highest. And the Lord God shall give unto him the seat of his father David:

⁴ I look upon my righthand, and see there is no man that will know me. I have no place to flee unto, no man careth for my soul. ⁵ Therefore do I cry unto thee, O LORD, and say, "Thou art my hope and my portion in the land of the living!"

We are cast down: nevertheless we perish not. ¹⁰ And we always bear in our bodies the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might appear in our bodies. ¹¹ For we which live, are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might appear in our mortal flesh. ¹² So then death worketh in us, and life in you.

⁸ in honour and dishonour, in evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true, ⁹ as unknown, and yet known, as dying — and behold we yet live — as chastened and not killed, ¹⁰ as sorrowing and yet always merry, as poor and yet make many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

³⁵ I am this day four score year old: and therefore can not discern savoury from unsavoury, neither hath thy servant pleasure in that he eateth or drinketh: nor yet delectation in the songs of men or women. It is no need that thy servant be a burden unto my lord the king:

¹⁵ And the Philistines had yet again war with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. ¹⁶ And David waxed fainty, and Ishbi of Nob one of the sons of the Giants whose spear head weighed three hundredth sicles of brass, and was girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David. ¹⁷ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the servants of David sware unto him, saying, "Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that the light of Israel be not put out."

¹⁸ Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grey-headed, until I have showed thy strength unto children's children, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

¹⁰ The days of our age are threescore years and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.

¹³ Such as be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. ¹⁴ They shall also bring forth more fruit in their age, and shall be fat and well liking, ¹⁵ that they may show how true the LORD my strength is, and that there is no unrighteousness in him.

¹ Remember thy maker in thy youth, before the days of adversity come, and or the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, "I have no pleasure in them"; ² before the sun, the light, the moon and stars be darkened, and or the clouds turn again after the rain; ³ when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and when the strong men shall bow themselves; when the millers stand still, because they be so few, and when the sight of the windows shall wax dim; ⁴ when the doors in the streets shall be shut, and when the voice of the miller shall be laid down; when men shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and when all the daughters of music shall be brought low; ⁵ When men shall fear in high places, and be afraid in the streets; when the Almond tree shall be despised, the grasshopper born out, and when great poverty shall break in; when man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets. ⁶ Before the silver lace be taken away, and or the golden band be broken; or the pot be broken at the well, and the wheel upon the cistern; ⁷ Or dust be turned again unto earth from whence it came, and or the spirit return unto God, which gave it.

⁴ I, I which shall bear you unto your last age, I have made you; I will also nourish you, bear you and save you.

¹² for the which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am sure that he is able keep that which I have committed to his keeping against that day.

¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from all evil doing, and shall keep me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be praise for ever and ever. Amen.

¹¹ Then Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him and to slay him in the morning. But Michal his wife told it him saying, "If thou save not thyself this night, tomorrow thou art a dead man."

¹ Then Ahithophel said unto Absalom, "Let me choose out, I pray thee, twelve thousand men. And I will up and follow after David by night. ² And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will fear him, that all the people that are with him shall flee. And so will I smite the king only, ³ and will bring again all the people unto thee. And when all these men which thou seekest are turned to thee, all the people shall have rest." ⁴ And the saying pleased Absalom well and all the elders of Israel. ⁵ Then said Absalom, "Call also Hushai the Archite and let us hear his sentence." ⁶ When Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him saying, "Ahithophel hath given such counsel: whether it be best we do after his saying, or not, tell thou." ⁷ Then said Hushai to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. ⁸ For," said Hushai, "thou knowest thy father and the men that are with him, how that they be strong men. And they be chafed in their minds, even as a bear robbed of her whelps. And thy father is a man practiced in war, and will not lie a nights among the common people. ⁹ Behold, he lurketh now in some cave or in some other place. And thereto, though some of his men be overthrown at the first brunt, yet they that hear it will think the people that followeth Absalom be put to the worse. ¹⁰ By the reason whereof, the best men thou hast whose hearts are as the hearts of lions, shall shrink thereat. For all Israel knoweth that thy father is a man, and that they which be with him be children of activity. ¹¹ But my counsel is, that all Israel be gathered unto thee, from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand of the sea in number, and that thou go to battle in thine own person.

² The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the LORD, and against his Christ.

⁹ For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net.

¹³ For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude, and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.

³² The ungodly watcheth the righteous, and seeketh occasion to slay him. ³³ But the LORD will not leave him in his hands, nor condemn him when he is judged.

⁶ They hold all together, and keep themselves close, and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul.

³ They imagine craftily against thy people, and take counsel against thy secret ones.

¹¹ if they entice thee, and say, "Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, and lurk privily for the innocent without a cause:

¹⁰ For why? I heard so many derisions and blasphemies, yea even of my own companions, and such as were conversant with me: which went about, to make me afraid, saying, "Upon him; let us go upon him, to fear him, and make him hold his tongue: that we may overcome him, and be avenged of him."

³ Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas: ⁴ and held a counsel, how they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

¹ when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held a counsel against Jesus, to put him to death,

¹³ Moreover, have ye not heard what I and my fathers have done unto the people of all lands? Were the gods of the people of other lands able to save their lands out of my hand? ¹⁴ Which of all the gods was it, of those nations that my fathers destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

² Many ones there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in his God." Selah.

² lest he devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help.

²⁵ I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.

²⁸ For the LORD loveth the thing that is right; he forsaketh not his saints, but they are preserved forever. The unrighteous shall be punished; as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall be rooted out.

⁷ All mine enemies whisper together against me; even against me do they imagine this evil. ⁸ They have given a wicked sentence upon me, "When he lieth, he shall rise up no more."

¹⁰ My bones are smitten asunder as with a sword, while mine enemies that trouble me cast me in the teeth, daily saying unto me, "Where is now thy God?"

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

¹⁵ Well, be ready hereafter, when ye hear the noise of the trumpets blow with the harps, shawmes psalteries, symphonies and all the other melodies: that ye fall down, and worship the Image which I have made. But if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediately in to a hot burning oven. Let's see what God is there, that may deliver you out of my hands!"

⁴² "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'"

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

⁴⁹ Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him."

¹ Why standest thou so far off, O LORD, and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble?

¹¹ O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me.

¹⁹ But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. Haste thee to help me.

²² This thou seest, O LORD. Hold not thy tongue then; go not far from me, O LORD.

²¹ Forsake me not, O LORD my God; O go not far from me. ²² Haste thee to help me, O LORD God of my salvation.

¹³ O LORD, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me; make haste, O LORD, to help me.

¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it; O deliver me, because of mine enemies.

¹ {To the Chanter, of David, to bring remembrance} Haste thee, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. ² Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward, and put to confusion that wish me evil.

⁵ As for me, I am poor and in misery; haste thee unto me, O God. Thou art my help, my redeemer, and my God: O make no long tarrying.

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.

² Then gathered the Jews together in their cities within all the lands of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as would do them evil, and no man could withstand them: for the fear of them was come over all people.

¹⁰ All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed; they shall be turned back and put to shame suddenly.

⁴ Let them be confounded, and put to shame, that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and brought to confusion, that imagine mischief for me.

²⁶ Let them be put to confusion and shame together, that rejoice at my trouble: let them be clothed with rebuke and dishonour, that boast themselves against me.

¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward, and put to rebuke, that wish me evil. ¹⁵ Let them be desolate, and rewarded with shame, that say unto me, "There! There!"

²⁹ Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame; and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a cloak.

¹⁸ As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish."

¹¹ Behold, all they that resist thee, shall come to confusion and shame: and thine adversaries shall be destroyed and brought to naught.

¹¹ But the LORD stood by me, like a mighty giant: therefore my persecutors fell, and could do nothing. They shall be sore confounded, for they have done unwisely, they shall have an everlasting shame.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder. Submit yourselves every man, one to another. Knit yourselves together in lowliness of mind. For God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.

¹⁵ Lo, though he slay me, yet will I put my trust in him. But if I shew and reprove mine own ways in his sight,

⁵ Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

⁶ I have leaned upon thee ever since I was born; thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb, therefore is my praise always of thee.

⁷ O Israel, trust in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

²¹ While I consider these things in my heart, I get a hope again.

²⁶ O how good is it, with stillness, to wait and tarry for the health of the LORD?

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may increase more and more in knowledge, and in all feeling,

¹⁰ Yea, and that thing verily ye do unto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia. We beseech you brethren that ye increase, more and more,

³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your confidence; which hath great reward to recompense.

¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought unto you by the declaring of Jesus Christ;

¹⁸ but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord, and saviour Jesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the Second General Epistle of Peter}

³ And every man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himself, even as he is pure.

²² I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. ²³ O praise the LORD, ye that fear him! Magnify him, all ye seed of Jacob, and fear him, all ye seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the low estate of the poor: he hath not hid his face from him, but when he called unto him, he heard him. ²⁵ My praise is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him.

¹² Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

⁵ O LORD my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts, which are to us-ward; and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee. If I should declare them, and speak of them, they should be more than I am able to express.

⁹ I will preach of thy righteousness in the great congregation: Lo, I will not refrain my lips, O LORD, and that thou knowest. ¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; my talk hath been of thy truth, and of thy salvation.

¹² For innumerable troubles are come about me; my sins have taken such hold upon me, that I am not able to look up. Yea, they are more in number than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.

⁸ O let my mouth be filled with thy praise, that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long.

¹⁶ Their delight shall be daily in thy name; and through thy righteousness they shall be exalted.

¹⁷ How dear are thy counsels unto me, O God! O how great is the sum of them! ¹⁸ If I tell them, they are more in number than the sand; when I wake up, I am present with thee.

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

⁵ As for me, I will be talking of thy worship, thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works; ⁶ so that men shall speak of the might of thy marvelous acts, and tell of thy greatness. ⁷ The memorial of thy abundant kindness shall be showed; and men shall sing of thy righteousness. ⁸ The LORD is gracious and merciful, long-suffering and of great goodness. ⁹ The LORD is loving unto every man; and his mercy is over all his works. ¹⁰ All thy works praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints give thanks unto thee. ¹¹ They show the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power, ¹² that thy power, thy glory and mightiness of thy kingdom, might be known unto men. ¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. ¹⁴ The LORD upholdeth all such as should fall, and lifteth up all those that be down.

²⁵ Iron and brass shall hang on thy shoes and thine age shall be as thy youth.

¹¹ The LORD shall give strength unto his people; the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.

¹⁴ Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; that my tongue may praise thy righteousness.

² but rid me, and deliver me, in thy righteousness; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

¹⁹ Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

² Who can express the noble acts of the LORD, or show forth all his praise?

¹³ O LORD our God, other lords beside thee hath subdued us, but we will be mindful only of thee and of thy name.

³¹ But unto them that have the LORD before their eyes, shall strength be increased, Eagles wings shall grow upon them; When they run, they shall not fall; and when they go, they shall not be weary."

²⁴ saying, "Verily in the LORD is my righteousness and strength. To him shall men come: but all they that think scorn of him, shall be confounded." ²⁵ And the whole seed of Israel shall be justified, and make their boast in the LORD.

⁷ I will declare the goodness of the LORD, yea and the praise of the LORD, for all that he hath given us; for the great good that he hath done for Israel, which he hath given them of his own favour, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

¹² I will comfort them in the LORD, that they may walk in his name," sayeth the LORD.

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

¹⁷ For by it, the righteousness which cometh of God is opened, from faith to faith. As it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

²¹ Now, verily, is the righteousness that cometh of God declared without the fulfilling of the law: having witness yet of the law, and of the prophets.

³ For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

¹⁶ that ye may be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man,

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

¹³ I can do all things through the help of Christ, which strengtheneth me.

⁶ It is verily a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you,

¹ Thou, therefore, my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

⁵ Behold, I have taught you ordinances and laws, such as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do even so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

⁹ And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, "As surely as the LORD liveth, which hath delivered my soul out of all adversities:

¹ And David spake the words of this song unto the LORD, what time the LORD had delivered him out of the hands of all his enemies, and out of the hands of Saul. ² And he said, "The LORD is my rock, my castle and my deliverer. ³ God is my strength, and in him will I trust: my shield and the horn that defendeth me: mine high hold and refuge. ⁴ I will praise and call on the LORD, and so shall be saved from mine enemies. ⁵ For the waves of death have closed me about, and the floods of Belial have feared me. ⁶ The cords of hell have compassed me about, and the snares of death have overtaken me. ⁷ In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears. ⁸ And the earth trembled and quoke, and the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry. ⁹ Smoke went up out of his nostrils, and consuming fire out of his mouth, that coals were kindled of him. ¹⁰ And he bowed heaven and came down, and darkness underneath his feet. ¹¹ And he rode upon Cherub and flew: and appeared upon the wings of the wind. ¹² And he made darkness a tabernacle round about him, with water gathered together in thick clouds. ¹³ Of the brightness, that was before him, coals were set on fire. ¹⁴ The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice. ¹⁵ And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them. ¹⁶ And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils. ¹⁷ He sent from on high and fetched me, and plucked me out of mighty waters. ¹⁸ He delivered me from my mighty enemy, and from them that hated me and were too strong for me. ¹⁹ When they had compassed me in the day of my tribulation, the LORD stayed me up. ²⁰ And he brought me out into roomth, and delivered me, because he delighted in me. ²¹ The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, and according to the pureness of my hands he dealt with me. ²² For I kept the ways of the LORD, and did no wickedness, forsaking my God. ²³ But I had all his laws in my sight, and I turned my face from none of his ordinances. ²⁴ But was pure unto him ward, and kept myself from wickedness. ²⁵ And the LORD did to me again, according to my righteousness, and after my pureness that I had in his sight. ²⁶ With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the man that is uncorrupt, thou shalt be uncorrupt. ²⁷ With the pure thou shalt be pure, and with the froward thou shalt be froward also. ²⁸ And the people that are in adversity, thou shalt help. And on the proud shalt thou cast thine eyes. ²⁹ Thou art my light, O LORD, and the LORD shall light my darkness. ³⁰ With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall. ³¹ The way of God is undefiled, and the word of the LORD fined as gold, and he a shield to all that trust in him. ³² Who is a God save the LORD, and who mighty save our God? ³³ God is my strength in war, and riddeth the way clear before me. ³⁴ And maketh my feet as swift as a hind's, and setteth me fast upon my high hold. ³⁵ And teacheth my hands to fight, that a bow of brass is too weak for mine arms. ³⁶ And thou hast saved me with thy shield, and keptest me ever in meekness. ³⁷ And thou madest me space to walk in, that my feet should not stumble. ³⁸ I followed mine enemies and destroyed them, and turned not again until I had consumed them. ³⁹ I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet. ⁴⁰ And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me. ⁴¹ And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them. ⁴² They looked for help, but none came to save them: unto the LORD they cried, but he heard them not. ⁴³ And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad. ⁴⁴ And thou deliveredst me from the dissension of my people, and keepest me to be a head over nations, for the people which I knew not became my servants. ⁴⁵ And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word. ⁴⁶ And the aliens that shrink away shall tremble for fear in their defended places. ⁴⁷ The LORD live, and blessed be he that is my strength: and exalted be God the strength that saveth me. ⁴⁸ It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me. ⁴⁹ And delivereth me from mine enemies: thou liftest me up on high from them that rise against me, and deliverest me from the wicked men. ⁵⁰ And therefore I will praise thee O LORD among the heathen, and will sing unto thy name. ⁵¹ For thy great and manifold saving of thy king, and showing mercy unto thine anointed, even to David, and his seed forever.

⁴ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the LORD, and to repeat, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: ⁵ even Asaph the chief, and next to him Zachariah then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obededom, and Jeiel with Psalteries and harps. But Asaph with sounding cymbals, ⁶ and Benaiah and Jahaziel, priests, with trumpets; continually before the Ark of the covenant of God. ⁷ And that same time David did appoint chiefly to thank the LORD by Asaph and his brethren: ⁸ "Thank the LORD, call on his name, make his acts known among the people! ⁹ Sing unto him and play unto him: and record all his wonderful deeds! ¹⁰ Praise his holy name, and let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice! ¹¹ Seek the LORD and his strength: Seek his presence always! ¹² Remember his marvels which he did, and his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth: ¹³ The seed of Israel are his servants, the children of Jacob are his chosen! ¹⁴ He is the LORD our God: in all lands are his judgments. ¹⁵ Think on his covenant ever, and on the word he commanded to a thousand generations. ¹⁶ Of his covenant to Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac: ¹⁷ which he set before Jacob for a decree, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, ¹⁸ 'To thee I will give the land of Canaan, to be the portion of your inheritance.' ¹⁹ When you were a small company in number, even but a few, and thereto strangers therein. ²⁰ And they went from people to people, and from one kingdom to another nation. ²¹ He suffered no man to do them wrong: But rebuked kings for their sakes. ²² 'Touch not mine anointed, nor do my Prophets any harm.' ²³ Sing unto the LORD all the earth: and show from day to day his victories. ²⁴ Tell among the heathen of his glory: and among all nations of his wonderful deeds. ²⁵ For great is the LORD and to be praised exceedingly: and terrible is he above all Gods. ²⁶ For all the gods of the heathen are idols: But the LORD made heaven! ²⁷ Praise and honour are in his presence: strength and gladness are in his place. ²⁸ Ascribe to the LORD ye kindreds of people; Ascribe to the LORD Glory and strength. ²⁹ Give honour unto the LORD's name: bring presents and come before him, and bow to the LORD in holy apparel. ³⁰ All the earth fear him: he established the earth that it cannot move. ³¹ The heaven rejoice and the earth be glad, and let men tell among the nations that the LORD is a king. ³² Let the sea thunder and his fullness, and let the fields rejoice and all that is therein. ³³ Moreover, let the trees of the wood ring at the presence of the LORD: for he cometh to judge the earth. ³⁴ Thank the LORD for he is good, and his mercy lasteth ever! ³⁵ And say, 'Save us o God our saviour and gather us together and deliver us from among the heathen, to thank thy holy name, and to praise thee with the praise that becometh thee. ³⁶ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever!' And all nations say 'Amen,' so praising the LORD."

⁷ that I may show the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

¹⁶ O come hither and hearken, all ye that fear God; and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

⁵ For thou, O LORD God, art the thing that I long for; thou art my hope even from my youth.

⁹ {Beth} Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? Even by ruling himself after thy word.

¹⁰² I shrink not from thy judgments, for thou teachest me.

¹ And it came to pass that Isaac waxed old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see. Then called he Esau, his eldest son, and said unto him, "My son." And he said unto him, "Here am I."

⁸ And thou shalt show thy son at that time, saying, 'This is done, because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came out of Egypt.'

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.' ¹⁶ And this shall be as a token in thine hand, and as a thing hanged up between thine eyes: because the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand." ¹⁷ When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt."

¹⁵ Eli was four score and eighteen years old, and his sight failed him that he could not see.

¹⁸ And when he made mention of the ark of God, Eli fell from off his stool backward toward the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was old and unwieldy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

¹⁰ And David blessed the LORD before all the congregation and said, "Blessed art thou LORD God of Israel our father, from ever and for ever. ¹¹ Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, power and glory, victory and praise: for all that is in heaven and in earth is thine, and thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art lifted up a head above all. ¹² And riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all. ¹³ And now our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. For what am I? And what is my people, that would obtain strength to be so willing? ¹⁴ But all is of thee, and of that we received of thine hand we have given thee. ¹⁵ For we be but strangers before thee and tenants, as were all our fathers. Our days on the earth is but a shadow, and there is none abiding. ¹⁶ O LORD our God, all this heap that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, cometh of thine hand, and is all thine. ¹⁷ I know my God, that thou provest the heart and hast pleasure in plainness. And in plainness of mine heart I have willingly given all this. And now I see thy people, which are here in gladness to offer willingly to thee. ¹⁸ O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts unto thee. ¹⁹ And give unto Solomon my son, a pure heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies and thine ordinances, and to do all, and to build the house which I intended." ²⁰ And David said to all the congregation, "Bless the LORD your God." And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and stooped and bowed themselves unto the LORD and to the king. ²¹ And they offered offerings unto the LORD. And on the morrow after the said day, they offered in burnt offerings unto the LORD a thousand oxen, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs with their drink offerings. ²² And they slew plenteously throughout all Israel, and did eat and drink before the LORD the same day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king of Israel the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD, to be ruler, and Zadok to be the priest. ²³ And so Solomon sat on the seat of the LORD, and was king for David his father, and prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. ²⁴ And all the lords and men of power, and thereto all the sons of king David submitted themselves under king Solomon. ²⁵ And the LORD magnified Solomon on high, in the sight of all Israel, and gave him so glorious a kingdom as none of all that were kings before in Israel had. ²⁶ Now David the son of Jesse was king over all Israel. ²⁷ And the space he reigned over Israel was forty years: seven years in Hebron and thirty three years in Jerusalem. ²⁸ And he died in a good age: old, rich and glorious. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead. ²⁹ The acts of David the king, both first and last, are written in the books of Samuel the seer and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer of visions, ³⁰ with all his kingdom and power and times that went over him and over all Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the earth.

³¹ They shall come, and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, whom the LORD hath made.

⁹ Cast me not away in mine old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth me.

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.

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;

⁴ One generation shall praise thy works unto another, and declare thy power. ⁵ As for me, I will be talking of thy worship, thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works;

⁹ Wake up, wake up, and be strong: O thou arm of the LORD: wake up, like as in times past, ever, and since the world began.

¹ Who believeth our sayings? And the arm of the LORD, to whom is it opened?

³⁶ Howbeit David, after he had in his time fulfilled the will of God, he slept, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

¹¹ Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among gods? Who is like thee, so glorious in holiness, fearful, laudable and that showest wonders?

⁹ which doeth things, that are unsearchable, and marvelous without number.

¹⁰ All my bones shall say, "LORD, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him? Yea, the poor, and him that is in misery, from him that spoileth him?"

⁵ Thy mercy, O LORD, reacheth unto the heavens, and thy faithfulness unto the clouds. ⁶ Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains; thy judgments are like the great deep. Thou, LORD, shalt save both man and beast.

¹⁰ For the greatness of thy mercy reacheth unto the heavens, and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.

¹⁸ Blessed be the LORD God, even the God of Israel, which only doeth wondrous things.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O LORD, there is not one that can do as thou doest.

⁶ For who is he among the clouds, that may be compared unto the LORD? Yea what is he among the gods, that shall be like unto the LORD? ⁷ God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. ⁸ O LORD God of hosts, who is like unto thee in power? Thy truth, most mighty LORD, is on every side.

² Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with joy. Then said they among the heathen, "The LORD hath done great things for them." ³ Yea the LORD hath done great things for us already, whereof we rejoice.

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me; I cannot attain unto it.

²⁴ The way of life leadeth unto heaven; that a man should beware of hell beneath.

⁷ Wisdom is a high thing; yea, even to the fool, for he dare not open his mouth in the gate.

¹⁶ But the LORD of Hosts, that holy God: shall be exalted and untouched, when he shall declare his equity and righteousness after this manner.

¹⁸ "To whom then will ye liken God? Or what similitude will ye set up unto him?

²⁵ 'To whom now will ye liken me, and whom shall I be like?' sayeth the holy one.

⁹ But as far as the heavens are higher than the earth, so far do my ways exceed yours, and my thoughts yours.

⁷ Who would not fear thee? Or what King of the Gentiles would not obey thee? For among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in all their kingdoms, there is none that may be likened unto thee.

⁴⁹ For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is his name.

¹¹ Thus sayeth the LORD, 'Behold, I will stir up evil against thee even of thine own house and will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, which shall sleep with them in the sight of the sun.

¹⁰ For why? Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither shalt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

¹ {To the chanter, a Psalm of David} I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling. 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. ³ He hath put a new song in my mouth, even a thanksgiving unto our God. Many men seeing this, shall fear the LORD, and put their trust in him.

³ Thou hast showed thy people heavy things; thou hast given us a drink of deadly wine.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast tried us like as silver is tried. ¹¹ Thou hast brought us into captivity, and laid trouble upon our loins. ¹² Thou hast suffered men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

¹⁸ And so will not we go back from thee; O let us live, and we shall call upon thy name.

⁶ Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

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

⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep. ⁷ Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah. ⁸ Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth. ⁹ My sight faileth for very trouble: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. 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? ¹² Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark? Or thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgotten? ¹³ Unto thee have I cried, O LORD, and early shall my prayer come before thee. ¹⁴ LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thou thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind. ¹⁶ Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me; and the fear of thee hath undone me. ¹⁷ They came round about me daily like water, and compassed me together on every side. ¹⁸ My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

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

⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy righthand shall save me.

¹⁹ But as for thy dead men and ours, that be departed, they are in life and resurrection. They lie in the earth, they wake, and have joy: for thy dew is a dew of life and light. But the place of the malicious Tyrants is fallen away.

¹⁷ Behold, bitter as gall was my pensiveness: so sore longed I for health. And it was thy pleasure to deliver me from the filthy pit: for thou it is, O Lord, that hath cast all my sins behind thy back.

¹² Therefore prophesy thou, and speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will open your graves, O my people, and take you out of your sepulchers, and bring you into the land of Israel again. ¹³ So shall ye know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and bring you out of them.

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.

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.

³³ And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony. ³⁴ And said unto them, "My soul is very heavy even unto the death, tarry here and watch."

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani," which is, if it be interpreted, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

²⁴ and loosed the sorrows of death, because it was impossible that he should be holden of it.

³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said,

²³ They are the ministers of Christ — I speak as a fool — I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously, ²⁴ in death often. Of the Jews, five times received I, every time, forty stripes, save one. ²⁵ Thrice was I beaten with rods. I was once stoned. I suffered thrice shipwreck. Night and day have I been in the deep of the sea. ²⁶ In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers; in jeopardies of mine own nation, in jeopardies among the heathen. I have been in perils in cities, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; ²⁷ in labour and travail, in watching often, in hunger, in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness. ²⁸ And beside the things which outwardly happen unto me, I am cumbered daily and do care for all congregations. ²⁹ Who is sick: and I am not sick? Who is hurt in the faith: and my heart burneth not? ³⁰ If I must needs rejoice, I will rejoice of mine infirmities. ³¹ The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth?

¹⁴ And I said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest." And he said unto me, "These are they which came out of great tribulation and made their garments large, and made them white in the blood of the lamb:

¹ There was long strife between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

³⁵ Thou hast given me the defense of thy salvation; thy right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving correction shall make me great. {TYNDALE: And thou hast saved me with thy shield, and keptest me ever in meekness.}

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

¹⁰ Great plagues remain for the ungodly; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD, mercy embraceth him on every side.

¹¹ All kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall do him service.

¹⁷ Show some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed; because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

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.

⁶ "Behold, I have made thee a light, that thou shouldest be salvation, even unto the end of the world. Kings shall see, and rulers shall stand up and shall worship, because of the LORD, which is faithful; and the holy of Israel hath chosen thee.

¹³ Rejoice ye heavens, and sing praises thou earth: Talk of joy ye hills, for God will comfort his people, and have mercy upon his, that be in trouble.

⁴ which comforteth us in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are troubled, in whatsoever tribulation it be, with the same comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ⁵ For as the afflictions of Christ are plenteous in us: even so is our consolation plenteous by Christ.

¹⁴ Thanks be unto God which always giveth us the victory in Christ, and openeth the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.

⁶ Nevertheless God, that comforteth the abject, comforted us at the coming of Titus.

¹³ Therefore we are comforted, because ye are comforted: yea and exceedingly the more joyed we, for the joy that Titus had: because his spirit was refreshed of you all.

⁹ For what thanks can we recompense to God again for you, over all the joy that we joy for your sakes before our God,

¹⁵ And the seventh angel blew, and there were made great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are our Lord's and his Christ's, and he shall reign for evermore."

²² Whom hast thou railed on, and whom hast thou reviled? Against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and hast lift up thine eyes so high? Even against the holy one of Israel!

¹⁰ All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

⁴ I will comfort myself in God's word; yea, I will hope in God, and not fear. What can flesh then do unto me?

⁴¹ They turned back, and tempted God, and moved the holy one in Israel.

¹ {An Instruction of Ethan the Ezrahite} My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the LORD; with my mouth will I ever be showing thy faithfulness from one generation to another.

¹⁸ The LORD is our defense, and the holy one of Israel is our king.

¹ {A Psalm of the song for the Sabbath Day} It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most highest! ² To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning, and of thy truth in the night season; ³ upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the lute and with a song upon the harp.

³ He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel: so that all the ends of the world see the salvation of our God.

² I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy word, according unto thy great name.

⁹ I will sing a new song unto thee, O God, and sing praises unto thee upon a ten-stringed lute.

³ Praise him in the sound of the trumpet; praise him upon the lute and harp. ⁴ Praise him in the cymbals and dances; praise him upon the strings and pipe. ⁵ Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals; praise him upon the loud cymbals.

¹⁹ Which used to speak on this manner: "Let him make haste now, and go forth with his work, that we may see it! Let that counsel of the holy one of Israel come, and draw nigh, that we may know it!"

²⁴ Therefore like as fire licketh up the straw, and as the flame consumeth the stubble: Even so - when their root is full - their blossom shall vanish away like dust or smoke. For they have cast away the law of the LORD of Hosts, and blaspheme the word of the holy maker of Israel.

⁶ Cry and shout thou inhabiter of Zion, for great among you is the holy of Israel.

¹¹ Tread out of the way, go out of the path, turn the holy one of Israel from us." ¹² Therefore, thus sayeth the holy one of Israel, "Insomuch as ye have cast off your beauty, and comforted yourselves with power and nimbleness, and put your confidence therein:

³ For I am the LORD thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Saviour. I gave Egypt for thy deliverance, the Ethiopians and the Sabees for thee:

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart.

⁹ The isles also shall gather them unto me, and especially the ships of the sea: that they may bring the sons from far, and their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, unto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorified thee.

²⁰ Thou shalt keep thy trust with Jacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworn unto our fathers long ago.

¹⁸ But as for me, I will be glad in the LORD, and will rejoice in God my Saviour. 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.

⁸ And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

¹⁶ And the angel which hath delivered me from all evil, bless these lads: that they may be called after my name, and after my father Abraham and Isaac, and that they may grow and multiply upon the earth."

²² The LORD delivereth the souls of his servants, and all they that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.

⁴ Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy, and loving-kindness?

³³ I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will praise my God while I have my being.

⁴⁶ And Mary said, "My soul magnifieth the Lord. ⁴⁷ And my spirit rejoiceth in God my saviour:

⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

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:

³⁷ I will follow upon mine enemies, and overtake them; neither will I turn again till I have destroyed them. {TYNDALE: I followed mine enemies and destroyed them, and turned not again until I had consumed them.} ³⁸ I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand, but fall under my feet. {TYNDALE: I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet.} ³⁹ Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.} ⁴⁰ Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.} ⁴¹ They shall cry, but there shall be none to help them: Yea, even unto the LORD shall they cry, but he shall hear them not. {TYNDALE: They looked for help, but none came to save them: unto the LORD they cried, but he heard them not.} ⁴² I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I will cast them out as the clay in the streets. {TYNDALE: And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.} ⁴³ Thou shalt deliver me from the strivings of the people, and thou shalt make me the head of the Heathen. A people whom I have not known shall serve me. {TYNDALE: And thou deliveredst me from the dissension of my people, and keepest me to be a head over nations, for the people which I knew not became my servants.}

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous is exercised in wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

¹³ Let them be confounded and perish that are against my soul; let them be covered with shame and dishonour, that seek to do me evil.

¹¹ Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me.

²⁰ An innocent tongue is a noble treasure; but the heart of the ungodly is nothing worth. ²¹ The lips of the righteous feed a whole multitude; but fools shall die in their own folly.

³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good things. And an evil man out of his evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.

²⁵ For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁹ Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.
