¹¹ Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper. ¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me, ¹³ They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring. ¹⁴ As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels. ¹⁵ Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws. ¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet. ¹⁷ I count all my bones—they look expectingly, They look upon me, ¹⁸ They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall. ¹⁹ And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste. ²⁰ Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one. ²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion: —And—from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

¹⁸ Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;' ¹⁹ and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, ²⁰ and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, ²¹ and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: ²² wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.

⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go; ⁹ by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise, ¹⁰ for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise; ¹² wherefore, also from one were begotten—and that of one who had become dead—as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that is by the sea-shore—the innumerable. ¹³ In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth, ¹⁴ for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country; ¹⁵ and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return, ¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises, ¹⁸ of whom it was said—`In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' ¹⁹ reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive him . ²⁰ By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau; ²¹ by faith Jacob dying—each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff; ²² by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king; ²⁴ by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh, ²⁵ having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season, ²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward; ²⁷ by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One—he endured; ²⁸ by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up; ³⁰ by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days; ³¹ by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
³² And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

² My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. ³ Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

⁶ Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel. ⁷ For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.

¹ In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them. ⁷ In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

⁴⁴ And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

¹⁷ Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!

²³ And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

³³ according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

¹¹ for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

⁶ Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: `Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;'

⁶ How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!

¹¹ Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.

⁷ For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face. ⁸ A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother. ⁹ For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me. ¹⁰ And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me. ¹¹ And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile. ¹² Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.

¹⁹ Thou—Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee are all mine adversaries. ²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I go not forth.

¹⁴ Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

³⁰ He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

¹⁹ the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'

²⁴ but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.'

²⁰ And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; ²¹ and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, `Barabbas.' ²² Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.'

¹⁵ and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters—not having learned?'

²⁰ The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray? ⁴⁸ did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'

⁴⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

¹² Wherefore, also Jesus—that he might sanctify through his own blood the people—without the gate did suffer;

³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints,

⁴ I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at you with my head.

¹⁰ They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set themselves.

⁹ And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword. ¹⁰ They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit. ¹¹ Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.

¹⁸ Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.

¹⁵ And—in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased; ¹⁶ With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.

¹⁴ Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.

²⁵ And I—I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

²² this is the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of Jerusalem. ²³ Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes Against the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge ye the mouth? Prolong ye the tongue? Are not ye children of transgression? a false seed?

²⁴ he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;

⁶⁶ what think ye?' and they answering said, `He is worthy of death.' <sup>67</sup> Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap, <sup>68</sup> saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck thee?'

²⁹ and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.'

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

²⁹ And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you—I also—one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things; <sup>30</sup> the baptism of John—from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.' <sup>31</sup> And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him? ³² But if we may say, From men,' —they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

²⁰ and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

¹⁴ And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.' <sup>36</sup> And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him, <sup>37</sup> and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.' ³⁸ And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.' <sup>39</sup> And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'

¹ A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me. ² Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah.

¹⁹ And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

⁵ Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He worketh,

¹⁰ With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where is thy God?'

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.

¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

³ Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

¹ Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one—My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son—the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

¹⁸ `Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare,

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, —the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; ⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said—Son of God I am;'

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!' ³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save. ³² The Christ! the king of Israel—let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

⁶ By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee is my praise continually.

¹⁷ God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

¹⁵ My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth. ¹⁶ Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed—And not one among them.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel, ¹⁵ Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on good.

⁶ For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹ Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of my name. ² And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.

¹³ And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.' <sup>14</sup> And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt, <sup>15</sup> and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, `Out of Egypt I did call My Son.'

⁴ and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour; ⁵ and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne,

³ Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb, ⁴ Even to old age I am He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.

¹ Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of my name.

⁵ `Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.'

⁴⁰ and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

⁵² and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

¹⁵ and when God was well pleased—having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace—

³⁶ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth—the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.

²⁶ for Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel—very bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper to Israel;

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? ² Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me? ³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

²¹ Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me,

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul. ² I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

¹⁸ Be near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.

¹² O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.

¹² For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

⁴ Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul. ⁵ I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.' ⁶ Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

⁵ And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath—it hath supported me.

⁵⁶ but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁷² and again did he deny with an oath—`I have not known the man.'

⁷⁴ Then began he to anathematise, and to swear—`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow,

³² and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

¹⁴ Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink wine!
¹⁵ And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat—thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation.

³⁰ Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts.

⁷ And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.

¹¹ Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer at the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls,

¹⁸ Flesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan—all of them.

¹ Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who are in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: `Bring in, and we do drink.' ² Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks. ³ And by breaches ye go forth, A woman at that over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹ And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death;

²⁷ 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,

² Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

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

⁷ All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip—shake the head,

²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion: —And—from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

¹⁷ Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

²¹ And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'

¹⁶ Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: `We have swallowed her up, Surely this is the day that we looked for, We have found—we have seen.'

⁴⁶ Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.

²⁷ Its princes in its midst are as wolves, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain. ²⁸ And its prophets have daubed for them with chalk, Seeing a vain thing, and divining for them a lie, Saying, `Thus said the Lord Jehovah:' And Jehovah hath not spoken.

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas; ⁴ and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill him,

⁵⁹ And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they did not find; and many false witnesses having come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses having come near, ⁶¹ said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.' <sup>62</sup> And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee? ⁶³ and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ—the Son of God.' <sup>64</sup> Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.' ⁶⁵ Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, —`He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

⁵ and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men, and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh water.

¹⁶ And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.

¹⁶ And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.

¹⁷ I count all my bones—they look expectingly, They look upon me,

¹⁰ For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

² As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence of God.

⁶ then the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting one against another.

¹⁰ She is empty, yea, emptiness and waste, And the heart hath melted, And the knees have smitten together, And great pain is in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.

³⁸ then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul—unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.'

³³ and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy, ³⁴ and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul—to death; remain here, and watch.'

²⁷ `Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say—Father, save me from this hour? —but because of this I came to this hour;

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust thou turnest back.'

²⁷ And Abraham answereth and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I—dust and ashes;

²¹ Thou dost not take away my transgression, And cause to pass away mine iniquity, Because now, for dust I lie down: And Thou hast sought me—and I am not!

⁹ Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.

¹⁰ The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.

¹⁵ Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.

⁹ `What gain is in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰ My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

³ I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.

²¹ And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.

²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face—they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit—they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

²² A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.

¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

⁴ Cleaved hath the tongue of a suckling unto his palate with thirst, Infants asked bread, a dealer out they have none.

² `And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches—to abhorrence age-during.

⁵⁰ And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit;

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;'

³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,

¹ To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' —A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?

²⁰ Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

⁶ They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.

¹⁴ And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.

¹⁴ O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.

⁶ For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they—they called after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee good things.

¹⁰ And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.

⁶ `Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may rend you.

⁵⁷ And those laying hold on Jesus led him away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

³⁵ And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band, ¹⁷ and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him, ¹⁸ and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.' ¹⁹ And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him, ²⁰ and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

²⁴ And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

⁵³ And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things, ⁵⁴ laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁶³ And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him; ⁶⁴ and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?' <sup>65</sup> and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him. <sup>66</sup> And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim, <sup>67</sup> saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe; <sup>68</sup> and if I also question you, ye will not answer me or send me away; <sup>69</sup> henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.' <sup>70</sup> And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say it, because I am;' <sup>71</sup> and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear it from his mouth.'

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;' <sup>5</sup> and they were the more urgent, saying—`He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—unto this place.'

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him, ¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

²³ And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

³³ and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

³⁷ and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

²⁵ the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

²⁷ then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put it to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

² look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;

¹⁵ and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

²¹ His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!

³ For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned. ⁴ Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread. ⁵ From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.

¹⁴ As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)

³⁶ and sitting down, they were watching him there,

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.' ⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

²⁷ And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

³⁴ And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, ²⁴ they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

¹ To the Overseer. —By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: —I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

¹³ Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

¹⁷ And I am poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer art Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

¹³ And I—my prayer is to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation. ¹⁴ Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters. ¹⁵ Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me. ¹⁶ Answer me, O Jehovah, for good is Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me, ¹⁷ And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress—haste, answer me. ¹⁸ Be near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.

⁵ And I am poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer art Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!

¹³ Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero—My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

²² God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a Reem is to him;

¹⁷ His honour is a firstling of his ox, And his horns are horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they are the myriads of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

⁹ Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib? ¹⁰ Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow with his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?

⁵³ while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

⁵⁹ they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

³⁰ I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

³⁰ and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree; ³¹ this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins; ³² and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'

¹⁷ and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

²⁵ Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

⁹ I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known. ¹⁰ Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

¹⁸ And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might. ¹⁹ And Thy righteousness, O God, is unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who is like Thee?

⁴⁸ And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?' <sup>49</sup> And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren!

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren—the least—to me ye did it .

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

²⁵ Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill? ²⁶ and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

¹¹ for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, `I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' and again, `I will be trusting on Him;'

⁸ Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings. ⁹ Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders. ¹⁰ Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah. ¹¹ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually. ¹² Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth, ¹³ O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

³⁰ A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.

⁸ Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

¹² I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

³ Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth. ⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually. ⁵ Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth. ⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones. ⁷ He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.

⁵ To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

¹ `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness:' ² Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

¹¹ Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield is He.'

¹³ He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah, ²⁰ O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

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

³ Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the terrible nations feareth Thee.

⁵⁰ And His kindness is to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

²⁰ and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.

¹⁹ Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, ²⁰ for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

⁴ who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone art kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.'

² My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

⁶ And I am a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.

⁶ This poor one called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

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.'

¹⁷ And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress—haste, answer me.

²⁹ And I am afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
³⁰ I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving, ³¹ And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock—horned—hoofed. ³² The humble have seen—they rejoice, Ye who seek God—and your heart liveth. ³³ For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised. ³⁴ The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.

³ Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. ⁴ And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul, ⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful, ⁶ A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

⁵ From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.

⁶ My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting. ⁷ And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed. ⁸ Near is He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who is mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me. ⁹ Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who is he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

⁴⁶ and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

²² I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

¹⁸ I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.

¹² On me, O God, are Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

¹³ I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

¹⁶ Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

¹ Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

¹⁴ My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people. ¹⁵ Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints. ¹⁶ Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds. ¹⁷ To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call. ¹⁸ My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people, ¹⁹ In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

¹⁹ Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them—I thank Jah. ²⁰ This is the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

⁴ When thou vowest a vow to God, delay not to complete it, for there is no pleasure in fools; that which thou vowest—complete. ⁵ Better that thou do not vow, than that thou dost vow and dost not complete.

¹¹ `And this is a law of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings which one bringeth near to Jehovah: <sup>12</sup> if for a thank-offering he bring it near, then he hath brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil, and of fried flour cakes mixed with oil; <sup>13</sup> besides the cakes, fermented bread he doth bring near with his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of his peace-offerings; <sup>14</sup> and he hath brought near out of it one of the whole offering—a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest who is sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings—it is his; <sup>15</sup> as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he doth not leave of it till morning. <sup>16</sup> `And if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or free-will offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice it is eaten; and on the morrow also the remnant of it is eaten; ¹⁷ and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day with fire is burnt;

¹⁶ All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.'

³² The humble have seen—they rejoice, Ye who seek God—and your heart liveth.

³ Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth. ⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

⁹ For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled with goodness.

⁶ And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined.

¹³ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, My servants do eat, and ye do hunger, Lo, My servants do drink, and ye do thirst, Lo, My servants rejoice, and ye are ashamed,

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst—to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life; ⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; ⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.'

⁸ Ask of Me and I give nations—thy inheritance, And thy possession—the ends of earth.

⁸ And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

¹¹ And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,

⁹ All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

⁷ Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

³ He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

²² In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve Jehovah.

¹ Praise Jehovah, all ye nations, Glorify Him, all ye peoples.

²² Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I am God, and there is none else.

⁸ Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn it back, O transgressors, to the heart. ⁹ Remember former things of old, For I am Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.

⁶ And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹² Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.

¹⁵ and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

²¹ testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me. ¹⁹ `Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, ²⁰ but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;

²⁶ and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith—

⁹ for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,

⁹ After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne—to our God, and to the Lamb!' <sup>11</sup> And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God, <sup>12</sup> saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, are to our God—to the ages of the ages! Amen!'

⁷ For king of all the earth is God, Give praise, O understanding one. ⁸ God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

²¹ And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!'

⁹ And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, and His name one.

¹³ `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!'

¹² And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.

⁶ Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish. ⁷ A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement. ⁸ And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased—to the age. ⁹ And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.

¹⁰ Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near. ¹¹ And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,

⁷ Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;

³¹ And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

⁷ He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

¹⁶ Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.

¹⁹ `Thy dead live—My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs is thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.

⁴ And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,

²³ By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.

³ And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do come, And thy daughters on the side are supported. ⁵ Then thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do come to thee.

¹⁶ And thou hast sucked the milk of nations, Yea, the breast of kings thou suckest, And thou hast known that I, Jehovah, Thy Saviour, and Thy Redeemer, Am the Mighty One of Jacob.

⁹ And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

²⁵ Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live; ²⁶ and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die—to the age;

¹⁰ And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; ¹¹ for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' ¹² so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth—

¹² and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—according to their works; ¹³ and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works; ¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire—this is the second death; ¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

²⁴ and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,

⁵ There they have feared a fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶ This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

¹⁵ If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy sons I have deceived.

⁶ Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This one was born there.' Selah.

²⁸ The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

⁹ and do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have—Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham,

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, ²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ; ²⁸ there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus; ²⁹ and if ye are of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and according to promise—heirs.

¹³ and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

⁹ and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

⁹ I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

¹⁸ This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

⁴ Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare. ⁵ The honour—the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare. ⁶ And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount. ⁷ The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing.

³ For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine offspring. ⁴ And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by streams of water. ⁵ This one saith, For Jehovah I am, And this calleth himself by the name of Jacob, And this one writeth with his hand, `For Jehovah,' and by the name of Israel surnameth himself.

²¹ And thou hast said in thy heart: `Who hath begotten for me—these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned aside, And these—who hath nourished? Lo, I—I was left by myself, these—whence are they? <sup>22</sup> Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried. ²³ And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.

¹ Sing, O barren, she hath not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She hath not brought forth! For more are the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one, said Jehovah.

⁴ Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do come, And thy daughters on the side are supported.

⁷ Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male. ⁸ Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons. ⁹ `Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, `Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God.

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

²¹ And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets, ²² and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, —for there is no difference, ²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God— ²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God—

¹⁹ for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous. ²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, ²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
