⁶ let every breath praise the Lord. Psalm 151 N.B. There is in the Septuagint another Psalm, with this title: This Psalm on David was written by himself in prose, when he fought in single combat with Goliath. I was little among my brethren, and the youngest of my father's family. I fed my father's flocks. My hands had made an organ; and my fingers had tuned a psaltery. But who will tell my Lord. My Lord himself heareth. He sent his messenger and took me from my father's flocks and anointed me with anointing oil. My brothers were comely and great; but the Lord did not delight in them. I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols. But I drew his own sword and cut off his head, and took away reproach from the children of Israel.

⁴ Thou shalt say also on that day, praise the Lord: invoke his name aloud! proclaim among the nations his glorious acts: call them up to your remembrance.

¹⁰ They must be taken up and carried; for they cannot walk. Fear them not for they can do you no harm, and there is no good in them. ¹¹ Thus shall you say to them. Let the gods, which have not made heaven and earth, perish from the earth and from under heaven. ¹² It is the Lord who made the earth by his power, who established the World by his wisdom: and by his understanding spread out the heaven, ¹³ and the multitude of waters in heaven: when he brought up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he made the lightning for rain, and brought light forth from his treasuries. ¹⁴ Every man on account of knowledge became foolish. Every melter of gold was put to shame for his graven images, because he cast falsities and there is no breath in them. ¹⁵ These ridiculous works are vain; in the time of their visitation they shall perish. ¹⁶ Unlike to these is the portion of Jacob: for he who formed all things is his inheritance. His name is, The Lord.

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great king,

⁵ who maketh mountains old insensibly; who overturneth them in his anger;

¹⁰ Now were he to overturn all these, who could say to him what hast thou done?

² Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not denied him the request of his lips.

⁶ Thou establishest the mountains by thy power: thou art begirt with majesty.

⁵ The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord; at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶ All that the Lord pleased he hath done in heaven and on earth: in the seas and in all the deeps.

⁴ and under him the mountains will tremble, and the vallies shall melt like wax before fire, and be like water rolling down a precipice. ⁵ At him the mountains quake and the hills tremble; at his presence the earth is startled; the World and all its inhabitants.

⁶ He stood and the earth was shaken: he looked, and nations melted away: the mountains were violently convulsed, the everlasting hills melted.

¹⁰ peoples shall see and be in pangs." Thou art scattering the rolling waters. The deep roared. It swelled high.

⁹ Then God said, "Let the water which is below the heaven be gathered into one receptacle and let the dry land appear." ¹⁰ And it was so. The waters which were below the heaven were gathered into their several collections, and the dry land appeared. And God called the dry land, earth; and the collections of the waters he called, seas. And God saw that it was good.

¹⁰ It was I who set bounds to it; surrounded it with bars and gates; ¹¹ and said to it, Thus far thou shalt come and no farther: but in thyself thy waves shall be spent.

⁷ He gathered as in a vessel the waters of the sea; he laid up the deeps in store houses.

⁶ who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all the things in them;

²⁶ The Lord made fields and uninhabited wilds; and the habitable heights of the earth.

²⁹ and when he secured the fountains of the earth below; And when he made the foundations of the earth strong:

²² Will you not fear me, saith the Lord, nor be struck with awe at the presence of me who have by an everlasting decree, made sand a boundary to the ocean, so that it shall not pass it. Though it be tossed with a tempest, it shall not prevail; though the waves thereof roar, they shall not overpass it.

⁹ And he said to them, I am a servant of the Lord; and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.

⁵ thou shalt not worship them; nor serve them; for I, the Lord thy God, am a zealous God, retributing to them who hate me the sins of fathers upon children to the third and fourth generation;

⁵⁴ When Solomon had finished all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord [for he had kneeled down on his knees and spread forth his hands towards heaven]

¹³ For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold and placed it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary. The length of it was five cubits and its breadth five cubits, and its height three cubits. So he took his station on that, and kneeling down on his knees before all two congregation of Israel, be stretched forth his hands to heaven

⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my humiliation; having rent my garments, I rose up, and fell upon my knees, and spreading forth my hands to the Lord God,

¹⁰ but none said, where is the God who made me;

⁹ Let the Ethiopeans bow down before him; and let his enemies lick the dust.

¹ The praise of an Ode, by David. O COME, let us sing with joy to the Lord; let us shout triumphantly to God our Saviour:

¹ Because youth and thoughtlessness is vanity, therefore remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; before the evil days come and the years draw nigh in which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

⁷ in that day let man trust in his maker, and his eyes look to the Holy One of Israel:

⁵ thou shalt remember no more. For the Lord who is thy maker, whose name is the Lord of Hosts; even he who delivered thee, shall be called the God of Israel, in the whole earth.

¹⁰ Now when Daniel knew that the decree was passed, he went home and the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem were opened for him, and three times a day, kneeling down on his knees, he prayed and gave thanks before his God as he had done heretofore.

¹ In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, "Come, let us return to the Lord our God, for it is he who hath torn and he can heal us. He can smite, and into our wounds he can pour balm;

¹⁴ Israel indeed forgot his Maker and built fanes, and Juda multiplied fenced cities; but into these cities of his I will send a fire, and it shall devour those buildings of theirs.

² And having fasted forty days and forty nights, he was at last hungry.

⁹ and saith to him, All these I will give thee if thou wilt prostrate thyself and worship me.

³⁵ Then having advanced a little further, he prostrated himself on the ground, and prayed, that if it were possible this hour might pass from him.

⁴¹ Then having withdrawn about a stone's throw from them, he kneeled down and prayed,

³ By him all things were made, and without him there was not made one single thing.

⁶⁰ Then he kneeled down and cried out with a loud voice, O! Lord, charge not this sin to their account; and having said this he fell asleep.

²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrating himself at his feet, made obeisance. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Rise up: I am but a man.

³⁶ And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down with them all and prayed.

⁵ But when these days were ended, we set out on our departure, they, with women and children, all attending us out of the city, and kneeling down on the sea shore, we prayed;

²⁰ for you have been bought with a price. Therefore glorify God with your body and with your spirit which are his.

¹⁴ For this cause I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those beneath the earth;

¹⁹ Let them therefore who suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful creator.

⁸ Now, I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen I prostrated myself to worship at the feet of the angel who pointed them out to me;

¹⁷ Now the spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who heareth say Come. And let every one who thirsteth come; and let every one who is willing take of the water of life at free cost.

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

² I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; out of the house of bondage.

¹ A Psalm by David. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall want nothing.

¹⁴ that he is our God forever and ever. He will tend us as a shepherd for evermore.

⁶ The earth hath yielded its increase: may God, our God, bless us!

¹ Of understanding. By Asaph. O GOD, why hast thou utterly cast off? Why is thy wrath extreme against the sheep of thy pasture?

¹³ For we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture: to thee we will render thanks forever: we will proclaim thy praise to all generations.

³ Our God is in heaven and on earth: all that he willed, he hath done.

⁶ Hearken to me, for I will speak solemn things; and with my lips disclose things which are right.

¹⁰ behold the Lord! The Lord is coming with majesty; and his arm with dominion. Behold his11 reward is with him; and his work, before him. ¹¹ Like a shepherd he will tend his flock; and with his arm he will gather the lambs, and comfort the ewes that are with young.

³ Incline your ears and follow in my paths; hearken to me and your soul shall live on good things; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant; the gracious promises to David which are faithful.

³³ For this, saith the Lord, is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will adapt my laws to their understanding and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.

³⁰ and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and that they are my people. house of Israel, saith the Lord, Lord, you are my sheep, even the sheep of my flock, and I, the Lord, am your God, saith the Lord, Lord.

² "Reform; for the reign of the heavens is at hand." ³ For this is the person spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, "A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord: make the roads for him straight."

⁵ While he was yet speaking, behold! a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo! from the cloud, a voice, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

³ To him the doorkeeper openeth and the sheep hearken to his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. ⁴ And when he hath brought out his own sheep, he goeth before them and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

¹⁴ I am the good shepherd and I know mine own sheep, and am known by them who are mine, ¹⁵ even as the father knoweth me, and I know the father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ Now I have other sheep which are not of this fold. These also I must lead; they will hearken to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves and to the whole flock among which the holy spirit hath made you overseers to tend the congregation of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.

⁷ Wherefore as the Holy Spirit saith, "Today since you have heard his voice, ⁸ Let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness; ⁹ Where your fathers tried me; they proved me, though they saw my works. Forty years. ¹⁰ For which cause I was incensed with that generation; And said, They do always err with the heart, And have not known my ways: ¹¹ So in mine indignation I solemnly said, "They shall not enter into my rest."

¹³ but while this today is proclaimed, that none of you may be rendered obstinate by the deceitfulness of sin

¹⁵ exhort one another daily by its being said, "Today since you have heard his voice let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness."

⁷ He again determinately apointeth out a day, namely Today, saying by David after so long a time, as it hath been mentioned, "Today since you have heard his voice let not your hearts be refractory."

¹⁶ but now they desire a better; that is a heavenly country; therefore God is not ashamed of them; to be invoked as their God: for he prepared a city for them.

²⁵ For you were like sheep going astray, but are now brought back to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

²⁰ Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any one will hearken to my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.

¹⁵ But when Pharao saw that there was a respite, his heart became stubborn and he hearkened not to them as the Lord had said.

² and the people were reviling Moses and saying, Give us water that we may drink, Moses said to them, Why do you revile me? And why do you tempt the Lord?

⁷ and he called the name of that place, Temptation and Upbraiding, because of the upbraiding of the Israelites, and because they tempted the Lord and said, Is the Lord among us or not?

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, How long shall this people provoke me? And how long will they disbelieve me, notwithstanding all the miracles which I have done among them?

²² because all these men, who have seen my glory, and the wonders which I have done in Egypt, and in this wilderness, have actually tempted me now the tenth time, and have not hearkened to my voice,

²⁷ How long shall I bear with this wicked congregation? I have heard what they murmur before me; the murmuring of the Israelites which they have uttered concerning you,

¹³ This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel uttered reproaches before the Lord, and he was hallowed among them.

³⁴ And the Lord heard the sound of your words, and being provoked to wrath, he sware saying, ³⁵ Not one of these men shall see that good land which I, with an oath, promised their fathers,

¹⁶ Thou shalt not try the Lord thy God, as you tried him at Temptation.

⁶ Now why do you continue obstinate, as Egypt and Pharao did? Did they not when he had insulted them, send the people away, and they departed?

²⁰ But when his heart became elated and his spirit emboldened to shew its arrogance, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and his glory was taken from him;

⁹ But as some were stubborn disbelievers and continued to revile the way before the multitude, he withdrew from them and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

⁵ Indeed according to this obduracy, and impenitent heart of thine thou art treasuring up for thyself wrath against a day of the wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

⁸ Let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness; ⁹ Where your fathers tried me; they proved me, though they saw my works. Forty years.

¹⁵ exhort one another daily by its being said, "Today since you have heard his voice let not your hearts be refractory as at Bitterness." ¹⁶ For some hearers provoked him; but did they not all come out of Egypt by Moses? ¹⁷ Now, against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he solemnly say that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who were disobedient. ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

²⁵ See that you do not reject him who speaketh. For if they did not escape who rejected him who gave forth oracles on earth, how much less shall we who reject him who is from heaven,

⁵ Now I desire once for all to remind you of this which you knew, That the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed afterwards them who did not believe:

¹⁷ But still they proceeded to sin against him; they provoked the Most High in a desert. ¹⁸ Still they made trial of God in their hearts, by asking for meats to their appetites.

⁴⁰ How often did they provoke him in the wilderness, and excite him to anger in the desert? ⁴¹ They actually turned back and tempted God, and provoked to wrath the holy One of Israel.

⁵⁶ Still they tempted and provoked God the Most High, and did not keep his testimonies;

²⁰ Then he began to upbraid the cities in which the most of his miracles had been done, because they had not reformed. ²¹ Alas for thee Chorazin! Alas for thee Bethsaida! For had the miracles, which have been performed in you, been done in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented long ago in sack cloth and ashes. ²² But I say to you, the condition of Tyre and Sidon will in a day of judgment, be more tolerable than yours.

²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other did, they would not have had sin: but now, though they have seen, they have hated both me and my Father.

⁹ nor let us try the Christ as some indeed of them did, and were destroyed by serpents:

⁶ God was grieved that he had made man on the earth.

³³ your children shall be fed forty years. They shall bear your whoredom until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness. ³⁴ According to the number of days in which you explored the land, counting each of the forty days a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and shall know the vengeance of my wrath.

¹³ So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he led them about in the wilderness forty years, until all that generation, who had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.

³ In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all that the Lord had given him in charge to them.

¹⁴ Now the time we spent from Kades-barne till we came to the valley of Zaret, was thirty eight years; until all the generation of the warriors had fallen, and died out of the camp. As the Lord had, with an oath denounced against them, ¹⁵ the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them from among the host until they had all fallen. ¹⁶ And when all the warriors had fallen, and died from among the people,

⁷ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And all who practise this have good understanding. And piety towards God is the beginning of discernment: but the wicked despise wisdom and instruction.

²² "While the innocent adhere to justice they shall not be put to shame: but as for fools who delight in mischief, having become wicked they hated knowledge and are become liable to censures. ²³ Behold I will pour forth to you the dictate of my spirit: and teach you this word of mine; ²⁴ seeing I have called and you have not answered: and though I continued my speech, you did not attend: ²⁵ but set at naught my counsels and disregarded my reproofs: ²⁶ therefore I will laugh at your calamity; and mock when your destruction cometh. ²⁷ Yes, when tumult shall suddenly come upon you; and destruction like a whirlwind shall be at hand; even when tribulation and siege approach you; or when destruction is advancing upon you. ²⁸ For when you call upon me I will not listen to you. The wicked may seek me, but they shall not find me. ²⁹ For they hated wisdom and did not chuse the word of the Lord:

¹⁷ why, O Lord hast thou suffered us to wander from thy way, and our hearts to be hardened so as not to fear thee? Return for the sake of thy servants; for the sake of the tribes of thy heritage,

⁶ There is usury upon usury, deceit upon deceit; they refused to know me, saith the Lord:

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil. ²⁰ For whosoever doeth evil hateth the light, and doth not come to the light, that his deeds may not be detected. ²¹ But he who practiseth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be open to view, because they are the operations of God."

³⁶ This person brought them out by performing wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red sea, and in the wilderness, forty years.

¹⁸ and for the space of about forty years bore with their behaviour in the wilderness.

²⁸ And as they did not search out God to have constantly a due sense of him, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things unseemly,

³⁰ And grieve not the holy spirit of God by which you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

⁹ Where your fathers tried me; they proved me, though they saw my works. Forty years. ¹⁰ For which cause I was incensed with that generation; And said, They do always err with the heart, And have not known my ways:

¹⁷ Now, against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against them who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

² And God finished on the sixth day these his works which he made; and on the seventh day he desisted from all these works of his which he made. ³ And God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it; because on it he rested from all these works of his which God had taken occasion to make.

²³ they indeed shall not see the land which I, with an oath, promised their fathers. But with regard to their children who are here with me; as many as have not known good or evil; every one who is too young to be taught by experience, to them I will give the land. As for all them who have provoked me, they shall not see it;

²⁸ Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord, As you have spoken in my hearing, so will I actually do to you. ²⁹ In this wilderness your carcasses shall fall; the whole review of you; even all of you who have been reviewed, from twenty years old, and upwards, who have murmured against me. ³⁰ None of you shall come into that land, respecting which I stretched forth my hand to cause you to dwell therein, save only Chaleb son of Jephonne, and Joshua son of Nave.

⁹ for till now you have not come to the rest, and to the inheritance which the Lord your God giveth you:

¹⁶ Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the highways and take a view and inquire for the ancient paths of the Lord, and see which is the good way and walk in it, and you shall find a purification for your souls: but they said, "We will not go."

⁴ [J] In order that none may be judged, that none may reprove, this people of mine shall be like a contradicted priest, [[J] Jehovah. [p] The prophet speaks.] ⁵ and shall be weak for years; and with thee the prophet shall be without strength. I have compared thy mother to the night: ⁶ my people is like one that hath not knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, therefore I will reject thee from being my priest: as thou hast forgotten the law of thy God; I also will forget thy children. ⁷ In proportion to their increase they sinned against me; I will turn their glory into shame. ⁸ Shall they eat the sin offerings of my people and by their iniquities support their lives? ⁹ It shall indeed be that as is the people so shall be the priest; I will punish them for their ways and retribute to him his devices. ¹⁰ Though they eat they shall not be filled, they have committed fornications, and they cannot prosper. Because they forsook the Lord, ¹¹ to attend to fornication and wine, therefore the heart of my people embraced drunkenness.

²⁸ Come to me all ye who labour and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. 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 So in mine indignation I solemnly said, "They shall not enter into my rest."

¹⁸ And to whom did he solemnly say that they should not enter into his rest, but to them who were disobedient.

³ For we who have believed enter into that rest spoken of in this passage, "So in my indignation I said they shall not enter into My Rest; "namely, That from the works done at the foundation of the, world.

⁵ And again in this place: "They shall not enter into My rest."

¹³ Then I heard a voice from the heaven saying to me, "Write, Happy the dead who die in the Lord henceforth! Yes, verily saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labours and their works accompany them.
