¹ To the Overcomer upon Nehiloth,
A Psalm of David. ¶ Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my meditation. ² Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray. ³ My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; early will I present myself unto thee and wait. ⁴ For thou art not a God that loves wickedness; neither shall one who is evil dwell with thee. ⁵ The foolish (those who are governed by carnal thoughts or desires) shall not stand in thy sight; thou dost hate all workers of iniquity. ⁶ Thou shalt destroy those that speak lies: the LORD will abominate the bloody and deceitful man. ⁷ ¶ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple. ⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. ⁹ For there is no uprightness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. ¹⁰ Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out for the multitude of their rebellions; for they have rebelled against thee. ¹¹ And all those that put their trust in thee shall rejoice: they shall ever be in jubilee, for thou shalt cover them; and all that love thy name shall be joyful in thee. ¹² For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

⁷ ¶ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

¹ ¶ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and departed from evil. ² And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. ³ His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she asses, and a very great store of servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. ⁴ ¶ And his sons went and had banquets in their houses, each one on his day, and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. ⁵ And it was so, when the days of their banquets were over, 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 sons have sinned and blasphemed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. ⁶ ¶ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. ⁷ And the LORD said unto Satan, Where dost thou come from? Then Satan answered the LORD and said, From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it. ⁸ And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my slave Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God and has departed from evil? ⁹ Then Satan answered the LORD and said, Does Job fear God for nothing? ¹⁰ Hast thou not made a hedge about him and about his house and about all that he has on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands; therefore, his substance has increased in the land. ¹¹ But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he has, and thou shalt see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face. ¹² And the 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 the LORD. ¹³ ¶ And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn; ¹⁴ and a messenger came unto Job and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them; ¹⁵ and the Sabeans {Heb. those of Sheba} fell upon them and took them away; they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell thee. ¹⁶ While he was yet speaking, another came who said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven and has burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell thee. ¹⁷ While he was yet speaking, another came and said, The Chaldeans made three bands and fell upon the camels and have carried them away and have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell thee. ¹⁸ While he was yet speaking, there another came and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn; 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 I alone have escaped to tell thee. ²⁰ ¶ Then Job arose and rent his mantle and shaved his head and fell down upon the ground and worshipped ²¹ and said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. ²² In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with folly.

¹ To the Overcomer,
A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. ¶ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy mercy; according unto the multitude of thy compassion eradicate my rebellion. ² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I acknowledge my rebellion; and my sin is ever before me. ⁴ Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou be declared just in thy word and pure in thy judgment. ⁵ Behold, the pain of my iniquity has caused me to writhe; my mother conceived me so that sin might be removed from me. ⁶ Behold, thou dost desire truth in the inward parts, and in the secret things thou hast made me to know wisdom. ⁷ ¶ Remove the sin in 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 hast broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins and eradicate 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 unto me the joy of thy saving health, and thy spirit of liberty shall uphold me. ¹³ Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. ¹⁴ ¶ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵ O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. ¹⁶ For thou dost not desire sacrifice or else would I give it; thou dost not delight in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering, the offering that has been totally consumed by the fire; then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about and your lamps burning,

²⁹ And Jesus responded unto him, The principal of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one;

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

¹ ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without order, and empty; 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 that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first 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 a 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 Heavens. And the evening and the morning were the second day. ⁹ ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas; and God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth green grass, herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its nature, whose seed is in itself upon the earth; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth green grass and herb yielding seed after its kind and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself, according to its nature; and God saw that it was good. ¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day. ¹⁴ ¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years; ¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth; and it was so. ¹⁶ And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heavens 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 the evening and the morning were the fourth day. ²⁰ ¶ And God said, Let the waters bring forth great quantities of creatures with living souls and fowl that may fly above the earth upon the face of the firmament of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great dragons and every living soul that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their nature, and every winged fowl after its nature; 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 fowl multiply in the earth. ²³ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. ²⁴ ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living soul after its nature, beasts and serpents and animals of the earth after its nature; and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind and every thing that moves upon the earth after 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 fowl of the air and over the beasts and over all the earth and over every serpent that moves upon the earth. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every beast that moves upon the earth. ²⁹ ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every grass bearing 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 fowl of the air and to every thing that moves upon the earth, in which there is a living soul, I have given all green grass for food; and it was so. ³¹ ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

¹² ¶ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days? Hast thou shown the dayspring its place,

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

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

⁸ Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I myself will arise early.

¹⁷ I love those that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.

¹⁰⁵ ¶ NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my way.

¹ A Psalm of David,
when he was in the wilderness of Judah. ¶ O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water; ² in this manner I beheld thee in holiness when I beheld thy power and thy glory. ³ ¶ Because thy mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ Thus will I bless thee in my life; in thy name shall I lift up my hands. 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 ¶ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. ⁸ My soul has followed hard after thee; thy right hand has upheld me. ⁹ But those that sought my soul, to destroy it, descended into the lower parts of the earth. ¹⁰ They shall be slain by the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes. ¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of those that speak lies shall be stopped.

³⁵ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there.

³ My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; early will I present myself unto thee and wait.

¹⁴ O satisfy us early with thy mercy, and we shall sing and be glad all our days.
