Psalms 10 Cross References - YLT

¹ Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity, ² Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised. ³ Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah. ⁴ The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' are all his devices. <sup>5</sup> Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries—he puffeth at them. <sup>6</sup> He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil. ⁷ Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue is perverseness and iniquity, ⁸ He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly, ⁹ He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net. ¹⁰ He is bruised—he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted. ¹¹ He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend, ¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress—man of the earth!

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

⁵ for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry—

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, ¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹³ A generation—how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up.

¹¹ The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

⁹ The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.

² I have spread out My hands all the day Unto an apostate people, Who are going in the way not good after their own thoughts.

³¹ O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah: A wilderness have I been to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Wherefore have My people said, `We mourned, We come not in again unto Thee.'

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

²¹ because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

¹² that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

¹² And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.

²⁷ and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech.

⁶ And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, `Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside the blind and the lame;' saying, `David doth not come in hither.'

¹⁰ And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, `Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who are at my feet.' <sup>11</sup> And the king of Israel answereth and saith, `Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing his armour .'

⁵ Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it.

⁵ How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts. ⁶ A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —

¹⁹ So are the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.

¹³ Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

¹⁵ Whose paths are crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.

²⁴ A path of life is on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.

¹ Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them.

¹² And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.

¹ Woe to those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high is Thy hand—they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire—Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

¹⁵ Because ye have said: `We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.'

²⁵ And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!

⁹ They have gone deep—have done corruptly, As in the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.

⁹ Who is wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!

¹⁶ Ruin and misery are in their ways.

¹ To the Overseer. —By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

¹ To the Overseer. —By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

⁵ His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!

⁶ And I—I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved—to the age.

¹¹ Because sentence hath not been done on an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil.

⁷ And thou sayest, `To the age I am mistress,' While thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, Thou hast not remembered the latter end of it.

¹² `Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great—exceeding abundant!'

¹⁰ For while princes are perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.

⁴⁸ `And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come,

³ for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

⁷ `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;

³⁵ To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.

¹² Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,

⁹ For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, An open grave is their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

¹⁴ Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

² Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

⁶ And if he came to see—vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out—at the street he speaketh.

⁴ Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

²¹ Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart is war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they are drawn swords .

³ The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.

⁴ Only—from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

³ Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

⁸ They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

³ They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder is under their lips. Selah.

⁹ The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.

⁸ Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

¹¹ Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood,

⁶ The making of treasures by a lying tongue, Is a vanity driven away of those seeking death.

⁸ Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

⁴ There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.

³ And they bend their tongue, their bow is a lie, And not for stedfastness have they been mighty in the land, For from evil unto evil they have gone forth, And Me they have not known, An affirmation of Jehovah!

⁶ thy dwelling is in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.

³⁴ `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things—being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

¹³ A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

⁶ and the tongue is a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna. ⁷ For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature, ⁸ and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,

¹⁸ And the king saith to Doeg, `Turn round thou, and come against the priests;' and Doeg the Edomite turneth round, and cometh himself against the priests, and putteth to death in that day eighty and five men bearing a linen ephod,

²³ And see and know of all the hiding-places where he hideth himself, and ye have turned back unto me prepared, and I have gone with you, and it hath been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.'

¹⁶ And also, innocent blood hath Manasseh shed very much, till that he hath filled Jerusalem—mouth to mouth; apart from his sin that he hath caused Judah to sin, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

¹¹ `Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

⁶ Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

¹¹ If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause, ¹² We swallow them as Sheol—alive, And whole—as those going down to the pit,

¹² A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth, ¹³ Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

¹⁴ Thou hast pierced with his staves the head of his leaders, They are tempestuous to scatter me, Their exultation is as to consume the poor in secret.

¹ And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve are with him,

¹ And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

¹⁵ And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy, ¹⁶ And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth.

¹² His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.

¹⁰ All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

¹⁴ A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.

³ For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

³¹ For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

³¹ An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso is honouring Him Is favouring the needy.

¹⁶ He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich—only to want.

¹⁵ A growling lion, and a ranging bear, Is the wicked ruler over a poor people.

¹⁵ What—to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:

⁷ And the miser—his instruments are evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.

²⁶ For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap—men they capture.

¹⁰ A bear lying in wait He is to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

³ And she bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured. ⁴ And hear of it do nations, In their pit it hath been caught, And they bring it in with chains unto the land of Egypt. ⁵ And she seeth, that stayed—perished hath her hope, And she taketh one of her whelps, A young lion she hath made it. ⁶ And it goeth up and down in the midst of lions, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured.

²⁹ The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed—without judgment.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals. ⁷ Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.

⁴ Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not caught?

¹¹ Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye have planted, And ye do not drink their wine. ¹² For I have known—many are your transgressions, And mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms, And the needy in the gate ye turned aside.

² Perished hath the kind out of the land, And upright among men—there are none, All of them for blood lie in wait, Each his brother they hunt with a net.

¹¹ Where is the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it is for young lions Where walked hath a lion, an old lion, A lion's whelp, and there is none troubling. ¹² The lion is tearing parts for his whelps, And is strangling for his lionesses, And he doth fill with prey his holes, And his habitations with rapine.

¹⁵ Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice.

³ A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For destroyed was their robe of honour, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan.

¹² and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep;

²¹ thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves—not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'

³⁶ and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'

²¹ and Saul saith, `I give her to him, and she is to him for a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;' and Saul saith unto David, `By the second—thou dost become my son-in-law to-day.' ²² And Saul commandeth his servants, `Speak unto David gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the king.' <sup>23</sup> And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these words, and David saith, `Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law to the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?' ²⁴ And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying, `According to these words hath David spoken.' <sup>25</sup> And Saul saith, `Thus do ye say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king;' and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines. ²⁶ And his servants declare to David these words, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the king; and the days have not been full,

²¹ And Saul saith, `Blessed are ye of Jehovah, for ye have pity on me; ²² go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who hath seen him there? for one hath said unto me, He is very subtile.

⁵ And it hath come to pass, in the drawing nearing of any one to bow himself to him, that he hath put forth his hand, and laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him;

¹³ And thou hast said, `What—hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge? ¹⁴ Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,

⁶ He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.

⁵ They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?'

¹¹ And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?'

⁷ And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

¹² And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'

⁹ And He saith unto me, `The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.

⁶ And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

³⁹ And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind is the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'

⁷ Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

⁶ Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

¹² For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

¹⁹ Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? —for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

⁷ Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

⁹ Hath God forgotten His favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

² Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

¹⁰ Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.

⁹ High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine enemies are cut off.

⁵ `And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;

²² And Reuben answereth them, saying, `Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.'

²⁰ unto a month of days, till that it come out from your nostrils, and it hath become to you an abomination; because that ye have loathed Jehovah, who is in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this? —we have come out of Egypt!'

⁹ `Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon. <sup>10</sup> `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;

²² and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in his death he said, `Jehovah doth see, and require.'

¹⁰ Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

¹⁸ Remember this—an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

¹⁶ `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation; ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

⁸ he, therefore, who is despising—doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

¹⁸ He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment.

⁷ and Adoni-Bezek saith, `Seventy kings—their thumbs and their great toes cut off—have been gathering under my table; as I have done so hath God repaid to me;' and they bring him in to Jerusalem, and he dieth there.

²⁶ Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight—the affirmation of Jehovah—yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion—the affirmation of Jehovah; —and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.'

²³ then Thou dost hear from the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.

¹¹ Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

²² Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord—be not far from me,

²² Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.

⁵ Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation.

⁹ Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

³ In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.

³ And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? —from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?

¹⁷ For Mine eyes are upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.

²⁴ Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹¹ Leave thine orphans—I do keep alive, And thy widows—on Me trust ye,

⁵⁶ For come in against it—against Babylon—hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences—Jehovah—doth certainly repay.

³ Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'

⁴ And also, what are ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head.

¹³ Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he,

¹² for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard—to that day.

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

¹⁹ so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing.

⁷ all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.

¹² therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, tingle do his two ears. ¹³ And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish—he hath wiped, and hath turned it on its face. ¹⁴ `And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies, ¹⁵ because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.'

¹⁵ And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken.

⁹ Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

³⁴ Also in thy skirts hath been found the blood of innocent needy souls, Not by digging have I found them, but upon all these.

⁴⁸ And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.

²¹ The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on the sword. ²² Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,

¹² And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil.

¹⁷ Woe to the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword is on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!'

²⁰ as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.

⁵ Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

¹⁵ Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

⁴³ Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me. ⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, ⁴⁵ Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.

¹⁰ Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king—to the age,

² Thou, with Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away. ³ For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.

⁵⁵ And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also—established is the world, unmoved.

¹³ Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion is in all generations.

¹⁰ Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

²² For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king—He doth save us.

¹⁰ And Jehovah is a God of truth, He is a living God, and a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not His indignation.

¹⁹ Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.

³⁴ `And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion is a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation;

²⁶ From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He is the living God, and abiding to the ages, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed, and His dominion is unto the end.

¹⁷ and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honour and glory—to the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹⁵ which in His own times He shall shew—the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords, ¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.

¹⁸ `O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this to the age for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart unto Thee;

³⁶ and rejoice doth Hezekiah and all the people, because of God's giving preparation to the people, for the thing hath been suddenly.

¹² Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;

¹² And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers, ¹³ and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah—He is God.

²⁷ Because thy heart is tender, and thou art humbled before God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard—the affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁸ For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

⁴ And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.

¹⁷ He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.

⁷ Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah. ⁸ Sustained is his heart—he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

¹⁹ The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

²⁴ The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the desire of the righteous is given.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.

¹ Of man are arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

²⁴ And it hath come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.

³ `Happy the poor in spirit—because theirs is the reign of the heavens.

¹³ `And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner! ¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

²⁴ and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, `Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that are in them, <sup>25</sup> who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things? <sup>26</sup> the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ; <sup>27</sup> for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel, <sup>28</sup> to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass. <sup>29</sup> `And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word, ³⁰ in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.' ³¹ And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

⁵ Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him, ⁶ and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison, ⁷ and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off his hands. <sup>8</sup> The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following me;' <sup>9</sup> and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision, <sup>10</sup> and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him. <sup>11</sup> And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;' ¹² also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying. ¹³ And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda, ¹⁴ and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch, ¹⁵ and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming it to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;' ¹⁶ and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished, ¹⁷ and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place. ¹⁸ And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter, ¹⁹ and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding there .

²⁶ And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

¹⁸ because through him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit unto the Father.

¹² in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

¹⁶ Be not led astray, my brethren beloved; ¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

⁶ and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

¹⁰ be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.

¹² because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears—to their supplication, and the face of the Lord is upon those doing evil;'

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

⁹ And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

¹⁴ Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave it, Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

¹⁴ From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

⁴ He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.

²¹ Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,

³ Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

¹ God of vengeance—Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth. ² Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud. ³ Till when do the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult? ⁴ They utter—they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves. ⁵ Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict. ⁶ Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

⁴ And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.

²⁵ `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive—thou—thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them? ⁸ I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

⁴⁷ The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven; ⁴⁸ as is the earthy, such are also the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are also the heavenly;

¹⁸ for many walk of whom many times I told you—and now also weeping tell—the enemies of the cross of the Christ! ¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
