So that thou must be justified in thine acts, and must overcome, when thou art judged. ⁵ For behold I was born in iniquity; in sins my mother conceived me:

⁵ for thou, Lord, art kind and gentle, and plenteous in mercy to all who invoke thee.

¹⁷ and the deluge came on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹ For the conclusion. Respecting them who are to be changed. By David. Save me, God; for waters have broken in on my soul. ² I am sunk down into deep mire, and there is no support beneath. I am come into the depth of the sea, and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.

¹³ But to thee, Lord, I, in my prayer, applied: it was a time of favour. God, in the multitude of thy mercy; in the truth of thy salvation, hearken to me. ¹⁴ Save me from mire that I may not sink down. Let me he delivered from them who hate me and out of this depth of waters. ¹⁵ Let not a flood of water overwhelm me, nor a whirlpool swallow me up, nor a pit shut its mouth upon me.

⁴ the water might have overwhelmed us. Our soul hath passed through a torrent. ⁵ Hath our soul then passed through impetuous water?

⁷ stretch forth thy hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from many waters; out of the hand of the children of strangers,

²⁸ For when you call upon me I will not listen to you. The wicked may seek me, but they shall not find me.

² therefore when thou passest through water, I am with thee, and the streams shall not overwhelm thee: and when thou passest through fire, thou shalt not be burned up; the flame shall not quite consume thee.

⁸ Thus saith the Lord, "In an acceptable time I have hearkened to thee, and in a day of salvation helped thee; and have formed thee and given thee for the covenant of nations that thou mayst reduce the earth to order and possess desolate heritages,

⁶ Seek ye the Lord; and when you find him call upon him. And when he draweth near to you;

²⁴ Therefore whoever heareth these words of mine and putteth them in practice, him I will compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ When the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock. ²⁶ But whoever heareth these words of mine, and doth not put them in practice, may be compared to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ When the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; it fell, and great was the ruin thereof.

⁴² saying, O that thou hadst known; even thou; even in this very ay of thine, the things which were for thy peace! But now they are hidden from thine eyes. ⁴³ For days will come upon thee, when thine enemies will surround thee with a rampire; and enclose thee; and shut thee up on every side; ⁴⁴ and dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and not leave one stone on another; because thou didst not know the time of this thy visitation.

³⁴ you will seek me but will not find me; and where I am you cannot come.

⁴ who comforteth us in all our affliction, to the end that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves have been comforted by God.

² For he saith, "In an acceptable time I have hearkened to thee, And in a day of salvation helped thee. "Behold now is an acceptable time! Behold now is a day of salvation; [and this we do]

⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were affected with a sorrow which led to a reformation. For you were affected with a godly sorrow, that you might in no wise receive damage from us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow operateth to produce a reformation for salvation, never to be repented of; but the sorrow of this world worketh death.

¹⁶ but I obtained mercy for this purpose, that Jesus Christ might display the utmost forbearance in me, a chief, for an example to them who should afterwards trust in him for everlasting life.

¹² teaching us in order that we, renouncing impiety and worldly lusts, may live soberly and righteously and piously in this present world,

¹⁵ And the serpent spouted out of his mouth after the woman water like a river that she might be swept away by the stream; ¹⁶ and the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the torrent which the dragon spouted out of his mouth:

¹ Then sung Moses and the Israelites this song to God, and spoke saying, Let us sing to the Lord, For he is gloriously exalted; Horse and rider he hath thrown in the sea. ² He was my help and defence for safety: He is my God, therefore I will praise him; My father's God, therefore I will extol him ³ A Lord crushing battles, his name is The Lord.

¹ Then sung Debbora, and Barak son of Abineem, on that day, saying,

¹ And David addressed the Lord in the words of this ode: on the day the Lord delivered him out of the hands of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,

¹² because thou wilt bless the righteous. Thou, Lord, hast covered us as with armour of favour.

⁹ The Lord was a refuge for the distressed, a seasonable helper in adversity.

⁵ The pangs of Hades surrounded me, and the snares of death were before me.

⁵ Because in his pavilion he hid me, in the day of my calamities; in the secret of his tabernacle he covered me; he set me upon a rock;

²⁰ In the secret of thy presence thou wilt hide them from the trouble of men; thou wilt shelter them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

¹⁰ Many are the chastisements of the sinner; but mercy will encompass him who trusteth in the Lord.

¹ The praise of an Ode. By David. He who dwelleth under the protection of the Most High shall lodge in the shelter of the God of heaven.

¹ A Psalm by David. Sing to the Lord, a new song, that the Lord hath done wonderful things. His own right hand and his holy arm hath saved him.

¹¹⁴ Thou art my helper and my protector: I have hoped for thy words.

²⁶ Then the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son and Saraias son of Esriel to apprehend Baruch and Jeremias. But they had hid themselves.

³ For you have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

¹⁰ and they cried with a loud voice, saying, "To our God who is sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed this salvation!"

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them who were victorious over the beast and over its image and over the number of its name, standing at the glassy sea having the musical instruments of God; ³ and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord, God, Almighty; Just and true are thy ways O thou king of the saints;

⁸ The Lord is gracious and righteous: therefore he will instruct sinners in the way: ⁹ he will guide the meek in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways. ¹⁰ All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth; to them who seek his covenant and his testimonies.

¹⁸ Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them who fear him; on them who confide in his mercy;

¹¹ Come, ye children, hearken to me: and I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

¹ My son, forget not my laws; but let thy heart keep my commandments.

⁵ Trust in God with thy whole heart; and be not elated for thine own wisdom. ⁶ Shew it in all thy ways, that it may make thy paths straight.

¹ Hear, children, the instructions of a father; and attend to know the meaning: ² for I am giving you a good gift: forsake not my law: ³ for I was a son obedient to a father; and beloved in the sight of a mother: ⁴ and they said when they taught me, "Let our words sink deep in thy heart. Keep our commandments; do not forget; ⁵ overlook not the dictate of my mouth: ⁶ forsake it not, and it will defend thee: love it and it will preserve thee: ⁷ [Omitted] ⁸ secure it and it will exalt thee: honour it that it may embrace thee: ⁹ that it may be to thy head a crown of graces and cover thee with a crown of pleasure. ¹⁰ Hear my son and receive my words; that, when the years of thy life shall be multiplied, thou mayst have many ways of livelihood: ¹¹ for I am teaching thee ways of wisdom; and confirming thee in right paths. ¹² For when thou goest, thy steps will not be straitened: and when thou runnest thou shalt not be tired. ¹³ Take fast hold of mine instruction, let it not go: but keep it for thyself during thy life.

¹⁰ Receive instruction in preference to silver, and knowledge rather than fine gold. ¹¹ For wisdom is better than precious stones: and no costly thing is equal to it in value.

¹⁰ They shall not hunger nor shall they thirst, nor shall the burning wind nor the sun smite them; but he who hath compassion on them will comfort them and lead them to bursting springs of water.

²⁹ Take upon you my yoke and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

¹¹ who regulateth the watches of the night; who distinguisheth me from the beasts of the earth and from the birds of the air?

³ As a whip for a horse and a goad for an ass; so is a scourge for a sinful nation.

²² [J] Because the rulers of my people did not know me, they are foolish children and devoid of understanding. They are wise to do evil; but to do good they have no knowledge.

⁶ Hearken now and hear! Will they not speak thus, "There is not a man who repenteth of his wickedness," saying, " What have I done?" He who was running stop'd in his course like a horse tired with whinnying." ⁷ The stork in the heaven knoweth her season; so doth the dove and the swallow of the field; the ostriches observed the time of their coming; but my people do not know the judgments of the Lord.

¹⁸ I have heard the voice of Ephraim moaning, "Thou hast chastised me and I have been chastised. I like a bullock was uninstructed, bring me back that I may return; for thou art the Lord my God.

³ Behold we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, and we manage their whole body.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
