Psalms 26 Cross References - ASV

¹ [A Psalm] of David.

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering. ² Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my heart and my mind. ³ For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth. ⁴ I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers. ⁵ I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked. ⁶ I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah; ⁷ That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works. ⁸ Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place where thy glory dwelleth. ⁹ Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood; ¹⁰ In whose hands is wickedness,
And their right hand is full of bribes. ¹¹ But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. ¹² My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones;
But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness;
For by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁵ Jehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.

Let me not be put to shame;
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

For I wait for thee.

[He is] my high tower;
I shall not be greatly moved.

³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. ⁴ For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. ⁵ Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.
⁶ Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

⁴ Doth not he see my ways,
And number all my steps? ⁵ If I have walked with falsehood,
And my foot hath hasted to deceit ⁶ (Let me be weighed in an even balance,
That God may know mine integrity);

⁹ Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

³ Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing;
I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart:
Try me, and know my thoughts; ²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

¹² But, O Jehovah of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

For thou art the God of my salvation;
For thee do I wait all the day.

⁴⁴ but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the Gentiles the same? ⁴⁸ Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.}

³⁶ Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

⁶ Jesus saith unto him, { I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

²⁰ But ye did not so learn Christ; ²¹ if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: ²² that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit; ²³ and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

³² and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; ¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. ⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. ⁹ Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

¹⁹ We love, because he first loved us. ²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen. ²¹ And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.

⁴ I rejoice greatly that I have found [certain] of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth. ⁴ Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

¹¹ Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

¹ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

⁶³ I am a companion of all them that fear thee,
And of them that observe thy precepts.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evil-doers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God.

⁶ Leave off, ye simple ones, and live;
And walk in the way of understanding.

¹¹ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread;
But he that followeth after vain [persons] is void of understanding.

²⁰ Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise;
But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

¹⁷ I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.

³³ Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.

¹⁷ Wherefore
Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
And touch no unclean thing;
And I will receive you,

⁶ I hate them that regard lying vanities;
But I trust in Jehovah.

³ I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me. ⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no evil thing. ⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. ⁶ Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me. ⁷ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. ⁸ Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

²¹ Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? ²² I hate them with perfect hatred:
They are become mine enemies.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners? ¹² But when he heard it, he said, { They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.

⁹ I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators; ¹⁰ not at all [meaning] with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: ¹¹ but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.

¹⁹ And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: ²⁰ when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

⁴ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood,
And hath not sworn deceitfully.

⁴ Then will I go unto the altar of God,
Unto God my exceeding joy;
And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.

¹³ Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart,
And washed my hands in innocency;

¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; ¹⁷ learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹¹ Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a foreign god. ¹² Jehovah will cut off, to the man that doeth this, him that waketh and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto Jehovah of hosts. ¹³ And this again ye do: ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand.

²³ If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, ²⁴ leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

⁸ I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

⁵ not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ and [having] a great priest over the house of God; ²² let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

² that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there. ³ And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land which Jehovah sware unto our fathers to give us. ⁴ And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God. ⁵ And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous. ⁶ And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: ⁷ and we cried unto Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression; ⁸ and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders; ⁹ and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. ¹⁰ And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God:

²⁴ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of Jehovah in Shiloh: and the child was young.

²⁷ For this child I prayed; and Jehovah hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

²⁶ And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah unto this day. ²⁷ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies. ²⁸ And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of Jehovah. ²⁹ And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.

¹ For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;
I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

¹⁴ That I may show forth all thy praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress. ¹⁵ I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah

¹⁷ O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;
And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. ¹⁸ Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,
Until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation,
Thy might to every one that is to come. ¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;
Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?

¹⁸ Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel,
Who only doeth wondrous things:

² Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

⁴ Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name. ⁵ For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.

² Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

¹² What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.

¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah's house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.

¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah.

²⁷ Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

²⁷ Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.

² Lift up your hands to the sanctuary,
And bless ye Jehovah.

⁴ To him who alone doeth great wonders;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever: ⁵ To him that by understanding made the heavens;
For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:

⁵ Of the glorious majesty of thine honor,
And of thy wondrous works, will I meditate.

³⁷ And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen; ³⁸ saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

²¹ And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. ²² And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

³⁴ Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

²⁵ And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:

³ Moreover also, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, seeing that I have a treasure of mine own of gold and silver, I give it unto the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

¹⁴ so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.

⁴ One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:
That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in his temple. ⁵ For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me;
He will lift me up upon a rock. ⁶ And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me;
And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.

⁴ These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

² So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary,
To see thy power and thy glory. ³ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise thee.

¹ For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

How amiable are thy tabernacles,
O Jehovah of hosts! ² My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

¹⁰ For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹ A Song of Ascents; of David.

I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. ² Our feet are standing
Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, ³ Jerusalem, that art builded
As a city that is compact together; ⁴ Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,
[For] an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

⁹ For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God
I will seek thy good.

²⁰ Jehovah is [ready] to save me:
Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments
All the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

²² Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

⁴⁹ And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?

⁴⁵ And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, ⁴⁶ saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:

¹⁴ And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: ¹⁵ and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables; ¹⁶ and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. ¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up.

¹⁸ And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod. ¹⁹ And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

²⁹ And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

⁷ And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow:

¹ And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.

¹ [A Psalm] of David.

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call:
My rock, be not thou deaf unto me;
Lest, if thou be silent unto me,
I become like them that go down into the pit. ² Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,
When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. ³ Draw me not away with the wicked,
And with the workers of iniquity;
That speak peace with their neighbors,
But mischief is in their hearts.

¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;
[And] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

²³ But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
But I will trust in thee.

¹⁹ Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

¹⁸ Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

⁵¹ and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.}

³² and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.}

¹⁴ Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

⁸ And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

³ And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.

¹⁴ Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand:
The helpless committeth [himself] unto thee;
Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

² For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

⁴ He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.

² Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

⁹ Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue;
For I have seen violence and strife in the city. ¹⁰ Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it. ¹¹ Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.

¹⁶ For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.

¹⁶ For they sleep not, except they do evil;
And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

¹⁵ He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil:

¹² In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
¹³ Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

¹² For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins—ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate [from their right].

¹ Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. ² And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. ³ Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

³ Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge [is ready] for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; ⁴ and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

¹² And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

² And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day. ³ Here I am: witness against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. ⁴ And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand. ⁵ And he said unto them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they said, He is witness.

²⁰ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before Jehovah his God. ²¹ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

¹⁵ But the former governors that were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

¹⁴ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof.

²² And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.

³¹ and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

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 turned away from evil.

¹ [A Psalm] of David.

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

⁷ None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor give to God a ransom for him;

¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol;
For he will receive me. [Selah

¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:
Ransom me because of mine enemies.

³ Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases; ⁴ Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

⁷ He made known his ways unto Moses,
His doings unto the children of Israel. ⁸ Jehovah is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

³ and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

⁶ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

¹⁰ Ye are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblamably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹⁸ knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; ¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, [even the blood] of Christ:

²² I will declare thy name unto my brethren:
In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee. ²³ Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;
All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Neither hath he hid his face from him;
But when he cried unto him, he heard. ²⁵ Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

⁷ That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.

¹¹ Teach me thy way, O Jehovah;
And lead me in a plain path,
Because of mine enemies.

² He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;
And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

³² Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise him in the seat of the elders.

¹ Praise ye Jehovah.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,
In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

⁴ Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,
[For] an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

⁹ He that walketh uprightly walketh surely;
But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

¹² saying,
I will declare thy name unto my brethren,
In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.
