¹ There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil. ² And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. ³ His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons of the east. ⁴ And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day, and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. ⁵ And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my so ⁶ Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before LORD, that Satan also came among them. ⁷ And LORD said to Satan, From where do thou come? Then Satan answered LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it. ⁸ And LORD said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. ⁹ Then Satan answered LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing? ¹⁰ Have thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. ¹¹ But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce thee to thy face. ¹² And LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of LORD. ¹³ And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house, ¹⁴ that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them, ¹⁵ and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee. ¹⁶ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God fell from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee. ¹⁷ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped ¹⁸ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house. ¹⁹ And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee. ²⁰ Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped. ²¹ And he said, Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. LORD gave, and LORD has taken away, blessed be the name of LORD. ²² In all this Job did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.

¹ Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation. ² Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for to thee do I pray. ³ O LORD, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch. ⁴ For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee. ⁵ The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity. ⁶ Thou will destroy those who speak lies. LORD abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man. ⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple. ⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of my enemies. Make thy way straight before my face. ⁹ For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they {deceive (LXX/NT)}. ¹⁰ Hold them guilty, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions. For they have rebelled against thee. ¹¹ But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee. ¹² For thou will bless the righteous man, O LORD. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. Selah.

⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

¹ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. ⁴ Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and {may prevail (LXX/NT)} when thou {are criticized (LXX/NT)}. ⁵ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. ⁶ Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom. ⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. ¹³ Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation. [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵ O LORD, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. ¹⁶ For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt-offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.

³⁰ Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.

²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, thou Israel, Lord our God is one Lord,

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,

⁷⁹ to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ³ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. ⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. ⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. ¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. ¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so. ¹⁶ And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. ²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image--after our likeness--and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that ²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. ²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upo ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food, ³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food--every green herb. And it was so. ³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

⁵ Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day, ⁶ for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, [but] it shall not come near thee.

¹² Have thou commanded the morning since thy days [began], [and] caused the dayspring to know its place

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

⁸ Awake up, my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.

¹⁷ I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently shall find me.

¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and light to my path.

¹ O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water. ² So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory. ³ Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips ⁶ when I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night-watches. ⁷ For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice. ⁸ My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me, ⁹ but those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. ¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes. ¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

³⁵ And having risen early, very much in the night, he came out and departed into a desolate place, and prayed there.

¹⁴ O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

³ O LORD, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch.
