And there they made Saul king before LORD in Gilgal, and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

³³ And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before LORD in Gilgal.

⁴ Come to Bethel and transgress, to Gilgal and multiply transgression. And bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days.

⁵ But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba. For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught.

⁵ O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of LORD.

³ and command ye them, saying, Take for you here out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.

² Sing to him, sing praises to him. Talk ye of all his marvelous works. ³ Glory ye in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek LORD rejoice. ⁴ Seek ye LORD and his strength. Seek his face evermore. ⁵ Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

⁴ One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. ⁵ I will meditate on the glorious majesty of thine honor, and of thy wondrous works. ⁶ And men shall speak of the might of thy fearful acts, and I will declare thy greatness. ⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

²⁹ But the sons of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

¹⁹ For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

⁵ Come, and see the works of God, awesome in actions toward the sons of men. ⁶ He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

¹⁵ And LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. And with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dry shod. ¹⁶ And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁷ who says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers,

¹⁰ Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

¹² And the sixth agent poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and the water of it was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

¹¹ And thou divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land. And thou cast their pursuers into the depths as a stone into the mighty waters.

¹⁶ The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee. They were afraid. The depths also trembled. ¹⁷ The clouds poured out water. The skies sent out a sound. Thine arrows also went abroad. ¹⁸ The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lightened the world. The earth trembled and shook. ¹⁹ Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters. And thy footsteps were not known.

¹³ He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

¹⁶ Thus says LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,

¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name, ¹³ who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not? ¹⁴ As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of LORD caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.

¹⁶ But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

¹⁶ Terror and dread falls upon them. By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over whom thou have purchased.

²⁰ And Moses said to the people, Fear not, for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye not sin.

² that thou might fear LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.

¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of LORD, and they shall be afraid of thee.

⁴⁶ This day LORD will deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee. And I will give the dead bodies of the armies of the Philistines this day to the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

⁴² (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house, ⁴³ hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

¹⁵ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him. And he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, take a present from thy servant.

¹⁹ Now therefore, O LORD our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou LORD are God alone.

¹² Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou rule over all. And in thy hand is power and might. And in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.

⁶ At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep. ⁷ Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry? ⁸ Thou caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still

⁷ a God very awesome in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all those who are round about him?

¹³ Thou have a mighty arm. Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

⁸ Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

⁶ There is none like thee, O LORD. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might. ⁷ Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? For to thee it appertains, inasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like thee.

⁴⁰ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. And I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

²⁶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire. ²⁷ And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed. Neither were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. ²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his agent, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. ²⁹ Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver after this sort.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation. ³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say to him, What are thou doing?

²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end. ²⁷ He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
