Psalms 74 Cross References - Rotherham

¹ [An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s.]
Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing? ² Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation. ³ Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!––the foe in the sanctuary! ⁴ Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens! ⁵ One used to be known according as he carried up high––into the thicket of trees––the axes; ⁶ But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down. ⁷ They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name. ⁸ They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting–places of GOD in the land. ⁹ Our own signs, have we not seen,––There is no longer a prophet,––Neither is there with us, one who knoweth––How long! ¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually? ¹¹ Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand––thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! [Selah.]

¹⁸ Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name. ¹⁹ Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle–dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually. ²⁰ Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence. ²¹ May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name. ²² Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day: ²³ Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.

³ And God said––Light, be. And light was. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was, good,––and God divided, the light, from the, darkness; ⁵ and God called, the light, day, but, the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening––and it was morning, one day.

¹⁴ And God said––Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night,––and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; ¹⁵ yea let them be for luminaries, in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great luminaries,––the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the expanse of the heavens,––to give light on the earth; ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was, good.

⁵ Simeon and Levi, are brethren,––Instruments of violence, are their agreements: ⁶ Into their circle, do not thou enter, my soul! In their convocation, do not thou join, mine honour!

² My might and melody, is Yah, And he became mine, by salvation,––This, is my GOD, and I will glorify him, The God of my father, and I will set him on high. ³ Yahweh, is a warlike one,––Yahweh, is his name. ⁴ The chariots of Pharaoh and his train, hath he cast into the sea,––Yea, the choice of his warriors, were sunk in the Sedgy Sea. ⁵ Roaring deeps, covered them,––They went down, in the raging depths, like a stone. ⁶ Thy right hand, O Yahweh, is splendid in power,––Thy right hand, O Yahweh, dasheth in pieces a foe; ⁷ And, in the greatness of thine exaltation, dost thou tear down thine opposers,––Thou dost send forth thy wrath, it consumeth them, as straw; ⁸ And, with the blast of thy nostrils, heaped up are the waters, Upreared like a mound, are the flowing waves,––Roaring deeps are congealed, in the heart of the sea. ⁹ Said the foe––I will pursue–overtake, divide spoil,––Take her fill of them––shall my soul, I will bare my sword, root them out––shall my hand. ¹⁰ Thou didst blow with thy wind, they were covered by the sea,––They rolled like lead, into the waters so wide. ¹¹ Who is, like unto thee, among the mighty, O Yahweh?

⁵ Then said Yahweh unto Moses––Pass over before the people, and take, with thee, some of the elders of Israel,––thy staff also, wherewith thou didst smite the river, take thou in thy hand, so shalt thou go thy way. ⁶ Behold me! standing before thee, there, upon the rock in Horeb, then shalt thou smite the rock, and there shall come forth therefrom water, and the people shall drink. And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.

⁵ Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine, as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth; ⁶ But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.

²⁴ An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending–sacrifices, and thy peace–offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee, and will bless thee.

⁴⁰ Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me, ⁴¹ I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes,––Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity, ⁴² Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And, the land, will I remember. ⁴³ For, the land, shall be left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting as a payment the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And, my statutes, their soul abhorred. ⁴⁴ And yet, even so, when they are in the land of their foes, I have not refused them, Neither have I abhorred them, To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them,––For, I––Yahweh, am their God. ⁴⁵ Therefore will I remember in their behalf, the covenant of their ancestors,––Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God––I––Yahweh.

² Every man––near his standard, with the ensigns belonging to their ancestral houses, shall the sons of Israel encamp,––at a distance round about the tent of meeting, shall they encamp.

¹¹ And Moses lifted high his hand, and smote the cliff, with his staff, twice,––and there came forth water in abundance, and the assembly and their cattle, did drink.

²¹ He hath not discovered trouble, in Jacob, Neither hath he seen wretchedness in Israel,––Yahweh, his God, is with him, And, the acclaim of a king, in his midst: ²² GOD having brought them forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his:

²⁰ whereas, you, hath Yahweh taken, and brought you forth out of a smelting–pot of iron, out of Egypt,––that ye might become his own inherited people, as at this day.

²⁷ Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,––do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness, or their sin:

²⁹ Yet, they, are thy people, and thine inheritance,––whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched–out arm.

⁵ but, unto the place, which Yahweh your God shall choose, out of all your tribes, to put his name there,––as his habitation, shall ye ask your way, and come in thither;

³¹ Thou shalt not do likewise unto Yahweh thy God,––for, everything that is an abomination unto Yahweh, which he doth hate, have they done unto their gods, for, even their sons and their daughters, do they consume with fire unto their gods.

²⁰ Yahweh will not be willing to forgive him, but, then, will the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy smoke against that man, and all the oath that is written in this scroll, shall settle down upon him,––and Yahweh wipe out his name from under the heavens;

⁶ Is it, Yahweh, ye thus requite, O impious people and unwise? Is not, he, thy father who begat thee? He, that made thee, and established thee?

⁸ When the Most High gave inheritances unto the nations, When he spread abroad the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples, According to the number of the sons of Israel. ⁹ For, Yahweh’s portion, is his people,––Jacob, his inherited possession.

²⁷ Were it not that, the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake,––Lest they should say––Our own hand, is exalted, It is, not Yahweh, therefore, who hath wrought all this!

¹⁰ For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt,––and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;

¹³ and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above,––and shall stand in one mound.
¹⁴ And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan,––with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters,––the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest, ¹⁶ that the waters which were coming down from above, stood––rose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failed––were cut off,––and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho. ¹⁷ And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing,––while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

²⁴ And it came to pass, when they brought out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

²³ Thus God subdued, on that day, Jabin king of Canaan,––before the sons of Israel. ²⁴ And the hand of the sons of Israel went on, waxing more and more heavy upon Jabin king of Canaan,––until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, If, I beseech thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then wilt thou work for me a sign, that it is, thou, who art speaking with me.

¹ Now, the boy Samuel, was ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli,––and, the word of Yahweh, had become rare in those days, there was no well–known vision.

⁵ And, when he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Yahweh wrought a great victory for all Israel, thou sawest, and didst rejoice. Wherefore, then, shouldst thou sin against innocent blood by putting David to death, without cause?

³⁹ So I consumed them, and crushed them, and they rose not again,––thus fell they under my feet: ⁴⁰ Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle,––thou subduedst mine assailants under me: ⁴¹ And, as for my foes, thou didst give me their neck,––yea, them who hated me, that I might destroy them: ⁴² They cried out, but there was none to save,––unto Yahweh, but he answered them not. ⁴³ Then did I beat them in pieces, like the dust of the earth,––like the clay of the lanes, did I crush them, stamp them down.

⁵ When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age–abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?

⁶ Now, therefore, command thou that they fell me cedars, out of Lebanon, and, my servants, shall be, with thy servants, and, the hire of thy servants, will I give thee, according to all that thou shalt say,––for, thou, knowest, that, none amongst us, hath skill to fell timber, like the Zidonians.

¹⁸ And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers,––the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be seen.

²⁹ And, all the walls of the house round about, carved he with figures of cherubim, and palm–trees, and festoons of flowers,––within and without.

³² The two doors, also were of olive–wood, and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim, and palm–trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold,––yea he spread out, over the cherubim and over the palm–trees, the gold.

³⁵ And he carved cherubim, and palm–trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, smoothed out on the carved work.

²⁰ So then Yahweh hath established his word which he spake,––and I have been raised up in the room of David my father, and have taken my seat upon the throne of Israel, as spake Yahweh, and have built the house for the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel;

³ And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came forth unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, today, Yahweh is taking away thy lord, from thy head? And he said––I also, know, be silent.

⁵ Then drew near the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, today, Yahweh is taking away thy lord from thy head? And he said––I also, know; be silent.

⁸ Then Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither,––so that they two, passed over, on dry ground.

¹⁴ and took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? And, when, he also, smote the waters, they were divided, hither and thither, and Elisha, passed over.

²³ And he said––Wherefore art thou going unto him, today, neither new moon nor sabbath? And she said––Peace!

⁹ and burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king,––yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.

¹⁴ son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, skilled to work in gold and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones and in timber, in purple, in blue and in fine white linen, and in crimson, and to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any manner of device that may be given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.

⁹ and they taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh,––so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

¹⁷ So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword, in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, elder or ancient,–all, delivered he into his hand.

¹¹ And, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh––For he is good, for, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.

³ And they said unto me, The remnant who are left of the captivity, there in the province, are in great misfortune and reproach, the wall of Jerusalem, is broken down, and, the gates thereof, are burned with fire.

³ and said unto the king––Let the, king, unto times age–abiding, live! Wherefore should my countenance, not be sad, when, the city––the place of the sepulchres of my fathers, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?

¹³ So I went forth through the valley–gate by night, even unto the front of the snake–fountain, and into the dung–gate,––and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, consumed with fire.

¹¹ And, the sea, didst thou cleave asunder before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea, on dry ground,––whereas, their pursuers, thou didst cast into the depths like a stone, into the mighty waters,

⁸ Then said Haman unto King Ahasuerus, There is a certain people, scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples, throughout all the provinces of thy kingdom,––whose laws, are diverse from every people, and, the laws of the king, they observe not, for the king, therefore, it is not fit, to suffer them. ⁹ If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be written, to destroy them,––and, ten thousand talents of silver, will I weigh out upon the hands of them who are doing the business, to bring [it] into the treasuries of the king.

⁸ Let day–cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky:

¹ Canst thou draw out the Crocodile with a fish–hook? Or, with a cord, canst thou fasten down his tongue? ² Wilt thou put a rush–cord on his nose? or, with a thorn, wilt thou pierce his jaw? ³ Will he multiply unto thee supplications, or will he speak unto thee softly? ⁴ Will he solemnise a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a life–long servant? ⁵ Wilt thou sport with him, as with a little bird? Or wilt thou bind him, for thy maidens? ⁶ Shall the companions bargain over him? or will they part him among the traders? ⁷ Wilt thou fill, with darts, his skin? or, with fish–spears, his head? ⁸ Lay thou upon him thy hand, remember the battle––no more! ⁹ Lo! any hope of him, hath been found deceptive, Even at the sight of him, shall not one be overwhelmed? ¹⁰ None so bold, that he will rouse him! Who then is he that, before me, can stand?
¹¹ Who hath forestalled me, that I may repay him? Under all the heavens, mine it is! ¹² I will not pass by in silence his parts, or the matter of strength, or the grace of his armour. ¹³ Who hath removed his outer garment, through his double row of teeth, who would enter? ¹⁴ The doors of his face, who hath opened? The circles of his teeth, are a terror! ¹⁵ A pride, are his arched sides, closed up, with a firm seal; ¹⁶ One to another, they join, and, air, cannot enter between them; ¹⁷ Each to its fellow, they cleave, they grasp each other, and cannot be parted; ¹⁸ His sneezings, flash forth light, and, his eyes, are like the eyelashes of the dawn; ¹⁹ Out of his mouth, torches dart forth, sparks of fire, escape; ²⁰ Out of his nostrils, proceedeth smoke, like a blown pot and rushes; ²¹ His breath, setteth coals ablaze, and, a flame, out of his mouth, proceedeth; ²² In his neck, lodgeth strength, and, before him, danceth dismay; ²³ The dewlaps of his flesh, cleave together, hardened upon him, they cannot be moved; ²⁴ His heart, is hardened like a stone, yea hardened, like the nether millstone; ²⁵ At his rising up, mighty men are afraid, by reason of terror, they are beside themselves: ²⁶ As for him that assaileth him, the sword availeth not, spear, dart, or coat of mail: ²⁷ He counteth iron as broken straw, and bronze as rotten wood: ²⁸ The arrow, will not make him flee, Into chaff, are sling–stones changed by him: ²⁹ As a straw, is a club accounted, and he laugheth at the whir of the javelin; ³⁰ His underparts, are points of potsherd, a pointed threshing roller spreadeth out upon the slime: ³¹ He causeth to boil, as a cauldron, the raging deep, the sea, he maketh like a brewing vessel: ³² After him, he lighteth up a path, one might think the resounding deep to be hoary! ³³ There is not––upon the dust––his like, that hath been made to be without fear; ³⁴ Every thing lofty, he beholdeth, he, is king over all ravenous beasts.

¹ Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing? ² The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,––against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:

⁸ O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:

³ When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

¹¹ Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.

¹⁸ For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten,––[Nor,] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever. ¹⁹ Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee. ²⁰ Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them,––Let the nations know [that] they are men. [Selah.]

¹ Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? [Wherefore] hide thyself, in times of destitution?

¹¹ He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten,––He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
¹² Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand,––Do not forget the patient!

⁵ Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say,––I will place [him] in safety––let him puff at him!

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? ² How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

⁸ There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring; ² Day, unto day, doth pour forth speech, and, night, unto night, doth breathe out knowledge. ³ There is no speech, and there are no words,––Unheard is their voice! ⁴ [Yet] through all the earth, hath gone forth their voice,––and, to the end of the world, their sayings,––For the sun, hath he set up a tent therein; ⁵ And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race: ⁶ From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof––and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.

¹ [David’s. A Melody.]
To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein; ² For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

¹² How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!

¹⁰ All my bones, shall say––O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.

⁸ From all my transgressions, rescue thou me,––The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!

¹ [To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]
How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

⁹ I will say onto GOD,––my rock, Wherefore hast thou forgotten me? Wherefore in gloom should I go, because of oppression by the enemy?

¹¹ Why shouldst thou be sat down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me? Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence and my God.

⁴ Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.

⁹ But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;

¹⁶ At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.

²³ Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!

²⁶ Arise to our help, And ransom us, because of thine own lovingkindness.

¹ [A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah.]
Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain. ² Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north,––The city of a great king.

¹ [To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David.]
The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good:––

¹ [To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Lily of Testimony." A precious Psalm of David, to instruct. When he waged war with Aram–neharaim, and with Aram–zobah,––and then Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand.]
O God, thou hast rejected us––hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?

¹⁰ Is it not, thou, O God?––thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?

⁷ Who stilleth, The noise of the seas, The noise of their rolling waves, and The tumult of races of men?

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

¹⁰ Thy living host, have remained therein, Thou dost provide, in thy bounty, for the humbled ones––O God!

¹³ Though ye rest between the folds, The wings of the dove, shall be covered with silver, And, her pinions, with green–shimmering gold.

¹⁶ Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!

² May he judge, Thy people with righteousness; And thine oppressed ones with justice;

⁹ Before him, let the men of the desert kneel, But, as for his foes, the dust, let them lick;

⁴ Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!

¹⁸ Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.

²² Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:

⁴ I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn; ⁵ Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

⁷ For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?

¹⁵ Thou didst redeem, with thine arm––Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah.]

¹ [An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s.]
Give ear, O my people, to mine instruction, Bend your ear to the sayings of my mouth;

¹³ He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through, And reared up the waters like a mound;

¹⁵ He used to cleave rocks in the desert, And let them drink as out of mighty deeps;

⁶⁵ Then awoke, as one that had slept, Adonay, As a warrior exulting with wine! ⁶⁶ So he smote his adversaries in the rear, Reproach age–abiding, laid he upon them.

⁶⁸ But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved; ⁶⁹ And built, like the heights, his sanctuary, Like the earth, he founded it to times age–abiding.

¹ [A Melody of Asaph.]
O God, nations, Have entered thine inheritance, Have profaned thy holy temple,––Have laid Jerusalem in heaps:

⁴ We have become, A reproach to our neighbours,––A mockery and a derision, to them who are round about us. ⁵ How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou be angry utterly? Shall thy jealousy, burn like fire?

⁵ How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou be angry utterly? Shall thy jealousy, burn like fire?

⁹ Help us, O God of our salvation, on account of the glory of thy Name,––Rescue us then, and put a propitiatory–covering over our sins, For the sake of thy Name. ¹⁰ Wherefore should the nations say––Where is their God? Let him be known among the nations before our eyes! [Yea! By] the avenging of the blood of thy servants which hath been shed!

¹² Return, therefore, unto our neighbours––Sevenfold, into their own bosom, The reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Adonay! ¹³ So, we, thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee, to times age–abiding,––To generation after generation, will we recount thy praise.

⁴ They have said––Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

²⁸ Age–abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;

³⁴ I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter: ³⁵ One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie; ³⁶ His seed, age–abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;

³⁹ Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;

⁴⁶ How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?

⁵⁰ Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples: ⁵¹ In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!

² Lift up thyself, O judge of the earth, Render a recompense unto the proud. ³ How long shall the lawless, O Yahweh, How long shall the lawless exult? ⁴ They pour forth [words], they speak arrogantly, All the workers of iniquity, do boast: ⁵ Thy people, O Yahweh, they will crush, And, thine inheritance, tread down; ⁶ The widow and sojourner, they will slay, And, the fatherless, murder. ⁷ Yet have they said––Yah, doth not see, The God of Jacob, doth not understand. ⁸ Understand, ye brutish among the people, And, ye dullards, when will ye show discretion?

⁷ For, he, is our God, And, we, are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand. Today, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,

³ Know that, Yahweh, he, is God,––He, made us, and not, we ourselves, His people, and the flock of his pasture.

¹³ Thou, wilt arise, wilt have compassion upon Zion, Surely it is time to favour her, Surely the time appointed, hath come; ¹⁴ Seeing that thy servants, take pleasure, in her stones, And, her dust, they favour:

¹⁹ That he looked down, out of his holy height, Yahweh, from the heavens unto the earth, directed his gaze; –– ²⁰ To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free, them who were appointed to death. ²¹ To the end the Name of Yahweh, might be celebrated in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem:

⁶ Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.

¹⁹ He hath made the moon for seasons, And, the sun, knoweth his place for entering in.

²⁵ This sea here, is great and broad on both hands,––Wherein are creeping things, even without number, Living things, small with great; ²⁶ There, ships, sail along, This sea–monster, thou hast formed to sport therein;

⁸ He hath remembered, unto times age–abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;

⁴¹ He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;

⁸ Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power; ⁹ So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture–land;

⁴⁰ Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.

⁴⁵ Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

²² For, oppressed and needy, I am, and, my heart, is wounded within me.

¹³ For Yahweh hath chosen Zion,––He hath desired it as a dwelling for himself: ¹⁴ This, is my place of rest unto futurity, Here, will I dwell, for I have desired it;

⁴ For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.

⁷ To him that made great lights, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ⁸ The sun to rule the day, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ⁹ The moon and stars to rule the night, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness.

¹³ To him that divided the Red Sea into division, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ¹⁴ And caused Israel to pass through the midst thereof, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ¹⁵ And shook off Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ¹⁶ To him that led his people through the desert, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ¹⁷ To him that smote great kings, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ¹⁸ And slew majestic kings, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness.

⁷ Remember, O Yahweh, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem,––how they continued to say––Overthrow! Overthrow! unto the foundation within it.

¹⁴ [HE] O my dove! In the retreats of the crag, in the hiding–place of the terrace, Let me see thy form, Let me hear thy voice,––For, thy voice, is sweet, and, thy form, comely.

¹ [HE] Lo! thou art beautiful, my fair one, Lo! thou art beautiful, Thine eyes, are doves, from behind thy veil,––Thy hair, is like a flock of goats, which are reclining on the sides of Mount Gilead:

⁹ One alone, is my dove, my perfect one, one alone, was she to her mother, Pure, was she to her that bare her,––The daughters, have seen her, and pronounced her happy, Queens and concubines, and they have praised her. [****]

⁶ Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea, against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him,––To capture spoil, And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.

¹⁵ And Yahweh, will devote to destruction, the gulf of the Egyptian sea, And will brandish his hand against the River[=Euphrates], in the full force of his spirit,––And will smite it in the seven streams, And cause a marching through in sandals; ¹⁶ So shall there be a highway for the remnant of his people who shall be left, out of Assyria,––Like as it was to Israel, in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt!

¹⁶ So shall there be a highway for the remnant of his people who shall be left, out of Assyria,––Like as it was to Israel, in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt!

¹⁰ For the hand of Yahweh will settle down in this mountain,––Then shall Moab be trodden down in its place, Like the treading down of a strawheap in the water of a dunghill;

¹ In that day, will Yahweh, With his sword––the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment, Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent,––And will slay the monster which is in the sea.

²² For, Yahweh, is our judge, Yahweh, is our lawgiver,––Yahweh, is our king, He, will save, us!

²³ Whom, hast thou reproached, and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy One of Israel. ²⁴ Through thy servants, thou hast reproached My Lord, and hast said,––With my multitude of chariots, have I, ascended, The height of the mountains, The recesses of Lebanon, That I may cut down, Its tallest cedars, Its choicest firs, That I may enter, Its highest summit, Its thick garden forest:

²⁹ Because, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, Therefore will I put, My ring in thy nose, and, My bit in thy lips, And will turn thee back, by the way by which thou camest.

²⁷ Who saith to the deep––Be dry! and, Thy rivers, will I drain!

¹⁷ Israel, hath been delivered by Yahweh, with an age–abiding deliverance,––Ye shall neither turn pale nor he put to shame, unto the ages of futurity.

²¹ And they thirsted not, when, through dry places, he led them, Waters out of the rock, caused he to flow out to them,––Yea be cleft a rock, and, there gushed out, waters:

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Yahweh, Awake, As in days of old, The generations of bygone ages: Art not thou, that which––Hewed down Rahab, Piercing the Crocodile? ¹⁰ Art not thou, that which dried up––The Sea, The waters of the mighty Deep,––That which made of the abysses of the sea, a road for the passing over of the redeemed? ¹¹ Therefore, the ransomed of Yahweh, shall again, come unto Zion, with shouts of triumph, With gladness age–abiding on their head,––Joy and gladness, shall overtake [them], Sorrow and sighing, have fled away.

⁵ Now, therefore, what do I here? Demandeth Yahweh. That my people have been taken away for nought? They who rule them, do howl, Declareth Yahweh, And, continually––all the day, is my Name, brought into contempt.

⁸ Who are these, that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?

⁴ Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age, The desolations of former times, shall they raise up,––And they shall build anew––The cities laid waste, The desolations of generation after generation.

⁶ Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night through, let them not hold their peace,––O ye that put Yahweh in mind, Do not take rest, to yourselves, ⁷ Neither give rest, unto him, Until he establish, and until he set forth Jerusalem, as a praise in the earth!

¹² So shall men call them––The holy, people, The redeemed of Yahweh,––And, thou, shalt be called––Sought out, A city, not forsaken.

³ A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And, of the peoples, there was no, man with me. So I trod them down, in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation,––And their life–blood besprinkled my garments, And, all mine apparel, I defiled; ⁴ For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And, the year of my redeemed, had come. ⁵ Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help,––And I was astonished, that there was none to uphold,––So, mine own arm, brought me salvation, And, mine indignation, the same, upheld me; ⁶ Then trod I down peoples, in mine anger, And make them drunk, with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life–blood.

⁸ Therefore he said–Surely, my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! So he became their, saviour. ⁹ In all their affliction, he, was afflicted, And, the messenger of his presence, saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them,––And then lifted them up and carried them, all the days of the age–past time.

¹⁷ Wherefore, shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? [Wherefore] shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou, for the sake of, Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.

¹⁰ Thy holy, cities, have become a wilderness,––Zion, a wilderness, hath become, Jerusalem, a desolation! ¹¹ Our holy, and our beautiful, house, Where our fathers praised, thee, Hath become a conflagration,––And, all our delightful, places, are in ruins!

¹¹ Our holy, and our beautiful, house, Where our fathers praised, thee, Hath become a conflagration,––And, all our delightful, places, are in ruins! ¹² In view of these things, wilt thou restrain thyself, O Yahweh? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and humble us so very greatly?

¹ Take your goods into safety, ye sons of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, And, in Tekoa, blow ye a horn, And, on Beth–haccherem, raise a fire–signal,––For, calamity, hath looked out from the North, Even a great destruction. ² To a comely and delicate woman, have I likened the daughter of Zion: ³ Against her, shall come shepherds, with their flocks; They have pitched against her their tents, round about, They tend their flocks, every one near at hand. ⁴ Hallow ye against her a war, Arise! and let us go up in broad noon. Woe to us, for the day, hath turned, for the shadows of evening, stretch along. ⁵ Arise! and let us go up in the night, And let us destroy her palaces.

¹⁶ Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For, the fashioner of all things, is, he, And, Israel, is his inherited sceptre,––Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

¹ Alas for the shepherds, who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture, Declareth Yahweh.

³⁷ Thus, saith Yahweh––If the heavens above, can be measured, Or the foundations of the earth beneath, be searched out, I also, may reject all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, Declareth Yahweh.

¹¹ The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good, is Yahweh, For age–abiding, is his lovingkindness, [The voice] of them who are bringing a thank–offering into the house of Yahweh,––For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.

²⁰ Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and, My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season, ²¹ My covenant also, may be broken, With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne,––And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants: ²² As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor, the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon, me. ²³ And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying: ²⁴ Hast thou not observed, what, this people, have spoken, saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again, become a nation in their sight! ²⁵ Thus, saith Yahweh, If, my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint, ²⁶ The seed of Jacob also, and of David my servant, might I cast off, so as not to take of his seed as rulers, unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,––For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.

²² Her noise, like a serpent, departeth,––For, with a force, they advance, And, with axes, have they come against her, like them who fell trees: ²³ They have cut down her forest, Declareth Yahweh, Surely he cannot be searched out,––For they have outnumbered locusts, and cannot, be counted.

¹⁹ Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For, the fashioner of all things, is he! And the portion of his inheritance,––Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

¹³ and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king,––yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire;

¹⁰ His hand, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things,––for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter––in the convocation––unto thee!

² My Lord hath swallowed up––without pity––all the pastures of Jacob, hath laid waste––in his indignation––the strongholds of the daughter of Judah, hath brought them down to the ground,––hath profaned the kingdom, and the princes thereof. ³ He hath broken off––in the glow of his anger––the whole horn of Israel, hath turned back his right hand, from the face of the foe,––and hath kindled against Jacob, a very fire of flame, devouring round about.

⁷ My Lord hath rejected his altar, hath abhorred his sanctuary, hath delivered, into the hand of the foe, the walls of her castles,––A voice, have they uttered in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed assembly.

⁹ Her gates, have sunk in the earth, He hath destroyed and broken in pieces, her bars,––Her king and her princes, are among the nations, There is no instruction, Even her prophets, have found no vision, from Yahweh.

¹⁶ All thy foes, have opened wide, over thee their mouth, They have hissed, and gnashed their teeth, They have said––We have swallowed [her] up! Surely, this, is the day for which we have waited, We have found! We have seen!

²⁶ Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And, report after report, shall arise,––Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And, law, shall perish from priest, And counsel, from elders.

¹² Moreover also, my sabbaths, gave I unto them, to become a sign betwixt me and them,––that it might be known, that, I, Yahweh, was hallowing them.

¹⁴ Howbeit I wrought with effect, for the sake of mine own Name,––that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose eyes I had brought them forth.

²¹ Say to the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! profaning my sanctuary, The pride of your strength, The delight of your eyes, And the object of the tender regard of your soul,––And, your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind, by the sword, shall fall.

³ Speak, and thou shalt say––Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! against thee, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt, The great Crocodile that lieth along in the midst of his rivers: Who saith––My river is, mine own, Since, I myself, made it me!

² Son of man, Take up a dirge, over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and thou shalt say unto him, The young lion of the nations, thou didst deem thyself,––Whereas, thou, wast like the crocodile in the seas, And didst cause thy streams to burst forth, And didst trouble the waters with thy feet, And foul their rivers.

⁸ As I live,––Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely, because my flock became a prey, And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no, shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock,––But, the shepherds, tended, themselves, And, my flock, they tended not,

³¹ Ye, therefore, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are, men,––I, am your God, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

²⁷ who delivereth and rescueth and worketh signs and wonders, in the heavens, and in the earth,––for that he hath delivered Daniel out of the power of the lions.

¹¹ even as far as the ruler of the host, shewed he his greatness,––and, because of him, was taken away the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and the place of the sanctuary, was cast down; ¹² and, a host, was set over the continual [ascending–sacrifice], by transgression,––and faithfulness, was cast down, to the ground, and so he acted with effect, and succeeded. ¹³ Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking,––and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking––How long is the vision of the continual [ascending–sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot? ¹⁴ And he said unto him, Until two thousand and three hundred evening–mornings,––then shall the sanctuary, be vindicated.

¹⁷ Now, therefore, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplications, and let thy face shine, upon thy sanctuary, that is desolate,––for the sake of thy servants, O Lord.

²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

³¹ And, arms, from him, will arise,––and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending–sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.

⁶ And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders?

¹¹ Lo! days are coming, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will send a hunger throughout the land,––not a hunger for food, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh;

² Arise, get thee to Nineveh the great city, and proclaim unto it,––that their wickedness, hath come up, before me. ³ For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place,––that he may descend, and march along upon the high places of the earth.

⁶ Therefore, shall it be night to you, for lack of vision, and darkness to you, for lack of divination,––and the sun, shall go in, over the prophets, and the day, shall be overcast because of them;

¹² Wherefore, for your sake, Zion, as a field, shall be ploughed, and, Jerusalem, unto heaps of ruins, shall be turned,––and, the mountain of the house, shall [be] like mounds in a jungle.

⁹ To nakedness, is bared thy bow, oaths of chastisement––song! Selah. With rivers, thou dost cleave open the land.

¹² In wrath, dost thou stride through the land,––in anger, dost thou thresh the nations. ¹³ Thou hast come forth to the salvation of thy people, to salvation, with thine Anointed One,––Thou hast crushed the Head out of the house of the lawless one, baring the foundation up to the neck, Selah. ¹⁴ Thou hast pierced, with his own staves, the head of his chiefs, they storm along, to scatter me,––their exultant thought, is, in very deed, to devour the oppressed one, in a secret place!

¹² So will I leave remaining in thy midst, a people oppressed and poor,––who will seek refuge in the name of Yahweh:

²³ And Jesus was going round throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad–message of the kingdom,––and curing every disease, and every infirmity, among the people.

⁴⁵ That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.

¹⁶ Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore––prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves.

⁷ And, the king, was provoked to anger,––and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.

¹⁵ Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place,––he that readeth, let him think,

¹⁷ and was teaching, and saying––Is it not written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the nations? but, ye, have made it, A den of robbers.

⁷² To perform mercy with our fathers, and to be mindful of his holy covenant,–– ⁷³ The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, To grant us, ⁷⁴ without fear, from the hand of enemies rescued, to be rendering divine service unto him, ⁷⁵ in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.

³² Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.

¹ Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

²⁰ But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn near.

²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive into all the nations, and, Jerusalem, shall be trodden down by the nations, until the seasons of the nations shall be fulfilled [and shall be].

²⁶ But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. ²⁷ My sheep, unto my voice, hearken,––and, I, know, them, and they follow me,–– ²⁸ And, I, give unto them life age–abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age–abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. ²⁹ What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father:–– ³⁰ I and the Father, are, one.

¹⁷ Although, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.

²⁶ he made also, of one, every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth,––marking out fitting opportunities, and the bounds of their dwelling place,

²⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers,––to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

²⁹ Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition, ³⁰ Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding, ³¹ Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful:––

¹ I say, then––Hath God cast off his people? Far be it! For, I also, am an Israelite,––of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: ² God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in [the account of] Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?

¹⁷ This, therefore, am I saying and protesting in the Lord:––that, no longer, ye walk even as, the nations, walk––in the vanity of their minds, ¹⁸ Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God––by reason of the ignorance that existeth within them, by reason of their hearts being turned into stone,

¹⁴ Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure––zealous of noble works.

⁴ God, jointly witnessing also, both with signs and wonders and manifold mighty works, and with distributions of Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

¹⁰ Because, this, is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord:––giving my laws into their understanding, upon their hearts also, will I inscribe them: and I will become their God, and, they, shall become my people;

⁵ Hearken! my brethren beloved:––Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? ⁶ Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice?

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying––How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth?

² and, the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast thou outside, and do not measure, it, because it hath been given unto the nations, and, the holy city, shall they tread under foot, forty and two months.

⁶ And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent,––them, who, in heaven were tabernacling.

¹² And, the sixth, poured out his bowl upon the great river: [the] Euphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun.

¹⁹ and the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger;

¹⁴ These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings,––and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.

² and he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is Adversary and the Accuser, and bound him for a thousand years,––
