Psalms 56 Cross References - MSTC

¹ {To the chanter, upon the domme stock dove, which flyeth far off: Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath} Be merciful unto me, O God, for men will tread me down: they are daily fighting and troubling me. ² Mine enemies are daily at hand to swallow me up; for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most Highest. ³ Nevertheless, though I am sometimes afraid, yet put I my trust in thee. ⁴ I will comfort myself in God's word; yea, I will hope in God, and not fear. What can flesh then do unto me? ⁵ They vex me daily in my words: all that they imagine is to do me evil. ⁶ They hold all together, and keep themselves close, and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul. ⁷ Shall they escape for their wickedness? Thou, O God, in thy displeasure shalt cast them down. ⁸ Thou tellest my flittings, thou puttest my tears in thy bottle, and numberest them. Are not these things noted in thy book? ⁹ Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight; whereby I know that thou art my God. ¹⁰ In God's word will I rejoice, in the LORD's word will I comfort me. ¹¹ Yea, in God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. ¹² Unto thee, O God, will I pay my vows; unto thee will I give thanks. ¹³ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

² And Moses wrote their goings out by their journeys at the commandment of the LORD: even these are the journeys of their goings out. ³ The children of Israel departed from Rameses the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow after Passover and went out with a high hand in the sight of all Egypt, ⁴ while the Egyptians buried all their firstborn which the LORD had smoten among them. And upon their gods also the LORD did execution. ⁵ And the children of Israel removed from Rameses and pitched in Succoth. ⁶ And they departed from Succoth and pitched their tents in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. ⁷ And they removed from Etham and turned unto the entering of Hiroth which is before Baalzephon, and pitched before Migdol. ⁸ And they departed from before Hiroth and went through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. ⁹ And they removed from Marah and went unto Elim where were twelve fountains and seventy palm trees and they pitched there. ¹⁰ And they removed from Elim and lay fast by the reed sea. ¹¹ And they removed from the reed sea and lay in the wilderness of Zin. ¹² And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Zin, and set up their tents in Dophkah. ¹³ And they departed from Dophkah, and lay in Alush. ¹⁴ And they removed from Alush, and lay at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. ¹⁵ And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. ¹⁶ And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and lodged at the graves of lust. ¹⁷ And they departed from the sepulchres of lust, and lay at Hazeroth. ¹⁸ And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. ¹⁹ And departed from Rithmah and pitched at Rimmonperez. ²⁰ And they departed from Rimmonperez, and pitched in Libnah. ²¹ And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. ²² And they journeyed from Rissah and pitched at Kehelathah. ²³ And they went from Kehelatha, and pitched in mount Shepher. ²⁴ And they removed from mount Shepher, and lay in Harada. ²⁵ And they removed from Harada, and pitched in Makheloth. ²⁶ And they removed from Makheloth, and lay at Tahath, ²⁷ and they departed from Tahath and pitched at Tarah. ²⁸ And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithkah. ²⁹ And they went from Mithkah, and lodged in Hashmonah. ³⁰ And they departed from Hashmonah, and lay at Moseroth. ³¹ And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched among the children of Jaakan. ³² And they removed from the children of Jaakan, and lay at Horhaggidgad. ³³ And they went from Horhaggidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. ³⁴ And they removed from Jotbathah, and lay at Abronah. ³⁵ And they departed from Abronah, and lay at Eziongeber. ³⁶ And they removed from Eziongeber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. ³⁷ And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. ³⁸ And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and died there, even in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the first day of the fifth month. ³⁹ And Aaron was a hundred and thirty three years old when he died in mount Hor. ⁴⁰ And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south of the land of Canaan, heard that the children of Israel were come. ⁴¹ And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. ⁴² And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon, ⁴³ and they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. ⁴⁴ And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Iyeabarim in the borders of Moab. ⁴⁵ And they departed from Iyeabarim and pitched in Dibongad. ⁴⁶ And they removed from Dibongad, and lay in Almondiblathaim. ⁴⁷ And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim before Nebo. ⁴⁸ And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the fields of Moab fast by Jordan nigh to Jericho. ⁴⁹ And they pitched upon Jordan, from Bethjeshimoth unto the plain of Shittim in the fields of Moab. ⁵⁰ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the fields of Moab by Jordan nigh unto Jericho, saying, ⁵¹ "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'When ye are come over Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵² see that ye drive out all the inhabiters of the land before you, and destroy their imaginations and all their images of metal, and pluck down all their altars built on hills: ⁵³ And possess the land and dwell therein, for I have given you the land to enjoy it. ⁵⁴ And ye shall divide the inheritance of the land by lot among your kindreds, and give to the more the more inheritance, and to the fewer the less inheritance. And your inheritance shall be in the tribes of your fathers, in the place where every man's lot falleth. ⁵⁵ But and if ye will not drive out the inhabiters of the land before you, then those which ye let remain of them, shall be thorns in your eyes and darts in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. ⁵⁶ Moreover it will come to pass, that I shall do unto you as I thought to do unto them.'"

¹¹ and vowed a vow and said, "LORD of Hosts, if thou wilt look on the wretchedness of thine handmaid and shalt remember me and not forget thine handmaid, and shalt give unto thine handmaid a man child I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life and there shall neither razor or shears come upon his head."

²⁴ And then she took him with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks and an ephah of flour and a bottle of wine, and brought him into the house of the LORD in Shiloh, how be it the child was yet young. ²⁵ And they slew the bullocks and brought in the lad to Eli, ²⁶ and then she said, "Oh my lord, as truly as thy soul liveth my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. ²⁷ And for this lad I prayed, and the LORD hath given me my desire which I asked of him: ²⁸ and therefore I also lend him the LORD, as long as he may be lent the LORD." And so they prayed there unto the LORD.

¹⁷ Then said Saul to David, "Behold, my eldest daughter Merab: her I will give thee to wife; only play the man and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Mine hand shall not be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines."

²¹ And he said, "I will give him her that she may be a snare to him, to bring the hand of the Philistines upon him." And Saul said to David, "Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law again."

²⁹ he was the more afraid of David, and became David's enemy forever.

¹⁸ And so David fled and escaped and went to Samuel to Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

⁷ And if thy father say thus, 'It is well done,' then thy servant shall have peace. But and if he be angry, then be sure that wickedness is utterly concluded of him.

¹⁰ And David arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. ¹¹ And the servants of Achish said of him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing unto this fellow in dances saying, 'Saul hath slain his thousand, and David his ten thousand'?" ¹² And David put those words into his heart and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

¹² And David put those words into his heart and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. ¹³ And he changed his countenance before them, and raved in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. ¹⁴ Then said Achish unto his servant, "Lo, ye saw that this man was beside himself; wherefore then have ye brought him to me? ¹⁵ Lack I madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? He shall not come into my house."

¹ And David departed thence and escaped, and came unto the cave of Adullam. When his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went thither to him. ² And there gathered unto him all men that were in cumbrance and in debt and troubled in their hearts, and he became a captain over them. And there were with him upon a four hundred men. ³ And David went thence to Mizpeh in the land of Moab, and said unto the king of Moab, "Let my father and mother, I pray thee, have their abiding with you, till I know what God will do with me." ⁴ And he left them with the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that David kept himself in holds. ⁵ And the prophet Gad said unto David, "Abide not in castles, but depart and go to the land of Judah." Then David departed and came into the forest of Hereth.

¹ Then thought David in his heart, "I may perish, one day or other, by the hands of Saul. There is no better for me, than to flee into the land of the Philistines; that Saul, of very despair to find me, may cease to seek me anymore in all the coasts of Israel: for so I may escape his hand."

⁴ Nevertheless the lords of the Philistines were wroth with him and said unto him, "Make this fellow return, and let him go again to his place which thou hast appointed him. For he shall not go with us to do battle, lest he be an adversary to us in the battle. For wherewith could he better obtain the favour of his master, than upon the heads of our men?

⁴ Doth not he see my ways, and tell all my goings?

³⁰ that he keepeth his soul from perishing, and letteth him enjoy the light of the living.

⁸ He sitteth lurking in the thievish corners of the streets, and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are set against the poor. ⁹ For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net. ¹⁰ He falleth down, and humbleth himself, that the congregation of the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.

³⁸ I will smite them, that they shall not be able to stand, but fall under my feet. {TYNDALE: I wasted them and so clouted them, that they could not arise: but fell under my feet.} ³⁹ Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.} ⁴⁰ Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their backs upon me, and I shall destroy them that hate me. {TYNDALE: And thou madest mine enemies to turn their backs to me, and them that hated me, and I destroyed them.} ⁴¹ They shall cry, but there shall be none to help them: Yea, even unto the LORD shall they cry, but he shall hear them not. {TYNDALE: They looked for help, but none came to save them: unto the LORD they cried, but he heard them not.} ⁴² I will beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I will cast them out as the clay in the streets. {TYNDALE: And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.}

⁷ The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto simple. ⁸ The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom then should I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? ² When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

³² The ungodly watcheth the righteous, and seeketh occasion to slay him.

¹ {To the chanter, upon the rose of witness, Michtam of David, for to teach: when he fought against Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zoba: and when Joab turned back, and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt} O God, thou hast cast us out and scattered us abroad; thou that hast been so sore displeased at us, comfort us again.

⁶ God hath spoken in his holiness: I will rejoice, and divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

² Hide me from the gathering together of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked doers, ³ who have whet their tongue like a sword, and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words, ⁴ That they may privily hurt the innocent, and suddenly hit him without any fear. ⁵ They have devised mischief, and communed among themselves how they may lay snares. "Tush," say they, "Who shall see them?" ⁶ They imagine wickedness, and keep it secret among themselves; every man in the deep of his heart.

¹³ I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings, to pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

¹³ But, LORD, I make my prayer unto thee in an acceptable time.

¹⁰ For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take their counsel together,

¹¹ Look what ye promise unto the LORD your God: see that ye keep it, all ye that be round about him; bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

² Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble; incline thine ear unto me when I call. O hear me, and that right soon.

¹³ what time as they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another. ¹⁴ He suffered no man to hurt them, but reproved even kings for their sakes,

¹⁷ So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the congregation of Abiram.

⁷ He will not be afraid of any evil tidings, for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD. ⁸ His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

⁸ And why? Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before the LORD, in the land of the living.

¹⁴ I will pay my vows, now, in the presence of all his people; ¹⁵ right dear in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the LORD in the sight of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of the LORD's house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

⁶ The LORD is on my side; I will not fear what man doeth unto me.

¹⁰ All nations compassed me round about; but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. ¹¹ They kept me in, I say, on every side; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

¹¹ They kept me in, I say, on every side; but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹² They came about me like bees, and are extinguished even as the fire among the thorns; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

¹² They came about me like bees, and are extinguished even as the fire among the thorns; for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. ¹³ They thrust at me, that I might fall; but the LORD was my help.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and am steadfastly purposed, to keep thy righteous judgments.

¹⁶⁰ Thy word is true from everlasting, all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for evermore.

⁸ The LORD preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

³ they had swallowed us up alive, when they were so wrathfully displeased at us.

⁵ They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. ⁶ He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

¹⁰ Which smote Egypt with their firstborn! For his mercy endureth forever.

¹⁵ But as for Pharaoh and his host, he overthrew them in the reed sea! For his mercy endureth forever.

¹⁷ Which smote great kings! For his mercy endureth forever. ¹⁸ Yea, and slew mighty kings! For his mercy endureth forever. ¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites! For his mercy endureth forever. ²⁰ And Og, the king of Bashan! For his mercy endureth forever.

² I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; for thou hast magnified thy word, according unto thy great name.

¹⁶ Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book were all my members written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was not one of them.

² which imagine mischief in their hearts, and stir up strife all the day long.

¹² And of thy goodness scatter mine enemies abroad, and destroy all them that vex my soul; for I am thy servant.

¹⁴ The LORD upholdeth all such as should fall, and lifteth up all those that be down.

¹² Let us swallow them up like the hell, let us devour them quick and whole, as those that go down into the pit.

⁴ If thou make a vow unto God, be not slack to perform it. As for foolish vows, he hath no pleasure in them. ⁵ If thou promise anything, pay it; for better it is that thou make no vow than that thou shouldest promise, and not pay. ⁶ Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh for to sin, neither say thou before the angel that it is thy ignorance. For then God will be angry at thy voice, and destroy all the works of thine hands.

⁸ Neither is there any man that hath power over the spirit, to keep still the spirit, nor to have any power in the time of death: it is not he also that can make an end of the battle, neither may ungodliness deliver him that meddleth withall.

⁵ O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

⁹ Go together ye people, and gather you, hearken to all ye of far countries. Muster you, and you shall be broken down: prepare you to battle and you shall be torn in pieces. ¹⁰ Take your counsel together, yet must your counsel come to nought; go in hand withal, yet shall it not prosper. For God is with us.

¹ So that then thou shalt say, "I will praise thee O LORD, that though thou were angry with me, yet thine anger is turned, and thou hast comforted me.

¹⁵ For ye comfort yourselves thus: "Tush, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell we are at an agreement. Though there break out any sore plague, it shall not come upon us. For with deceit will we escape, and with nimbleness will we defend ourselves."

²⁰ Then shall the furious people cease, and the mockers shall be put away, and all they that do wrong shall be plucked out, ²¹ such as labour to draw men unto sin; and that deceive him which reproveth them in the gate; and such as turn good persons to vanity.

³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit. And as soon as the LORD stretcheth out his hand: then shall the helper fall, and he that should have been helped, and they shall all together be destroyed.

³ and said, "Remember, O LORD, that I have walked before thee in truth and a steadfast heart, and have done the thing that is pleasant to thee." And Hezekiah wept sore.

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for I will be with thee. Look not behind thee, for I will be thy God, to strengthen thee, help thee, and to keep thee with this righthand of mine.

⁷ Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness, and so let the people that have my law in their hearts. Fear not the rebukes of man neither faint for their blasphemies. ⁸ For worms shall eat them as a garment, and moths shall devour them as it were wool. But my righteousness shall continue ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

¹² Yea I, I am even he, that in all things giveth you consolation. What art thou then, that fearest a mortal man; the child of man, which goeth away as doeth the flour, ¹³ and forgettest the LORD that made thee, that spread out the heavens and laid the foundation of the earth? But thou art ever afraid for the sight of thine oppressor, which is ready to do harm: Where is the wrath of the oppressor?

¹⁵ Behold, the alien that was far from thee shall dwell with thee: and he that was sometime a stranger unto thee, shall be joined with thee.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart.

⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began.

¹⁰ Then come ye, and stand before me in this house, which hath my name given unto it, and say 'Tush, we are absolved quite, though we have done all these abominations.'

²⁵ Pour out thine indignation rather upon the Gentiles, that know thee not, and upon the people that call not on thy name: And that because they have consumed, devoured and destroyed Jacob, and have rooted out his glory.

¹⁸ Then said they, "Come, let us imagine something against this Jeremiah." Yea, this did even the priests, to whom the law was committed: the Senators, that were the wisest: and the prophets, which wanted not the word of God. "Come," said they, "let us cut out his tongue, and let us not regard his words." ¹⁹ Consider me, O LORD, and hear the voice of mine enemies! ²⁰ Do they not recompense evil for good, when they dig a pit for my soul? Remember, how that I stood before thee, to speak for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore let their children die of hunger, and let them be oppressed with the sword. Let their wives be robbed of their children, and become widows: let their husbands be slain, let their young men be killed with the sword in the field. ²² Let the noise be heard out of their houses, when the murderer cometh suddenly upon them: For they have digged a pit to take me, and laid snares for my feet. ²³ Yet LORD, thou knowest all their counsel that they have devised, to slay me. And therefore forgive them not their wickedness, and let not their sin be put out of thy sight: but let them be judged before thee as the guilty: This shalt thou do unto them in the time of thy indignation.

¹⁰ For why? I heard so many derisions and blasphemies, yea even of my own companions, and such as were conversant with me: which went about, to make me afraid, saying, "Upon him; let us go upon him, to fear him, and make him hold his tongue: that we may overcome him, and be avenged of him."

³ Thou hast cried unto me, and I have heard thee: I have showed great and high things, which were unknown unto you."

² {Beth} The LORD hath cast down all the glory of Jacob without any favour: all the strong places of the daughter Judah hath he broken in his wrath, and thrown them down to the ground: her kingdom and her princes hath he suspended.

⁵ {He} The LORD is become like as it were an enemy: he hath cast down Israel and all his places. Yea, all his strongholds hath he destroyed, and filled the daughter of Judah with much sorrow and heaviness.

¹⁶ {Ayin} All thine enemies gape upon thee, whispering and biting their teeth, saying, "Let us devour, for the time that we looked for is come: we have found and seen it."

¹⁸ O king, God the highest gave unto Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, the dignity of a king, with worship and honor:

⁴ Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him.

⁸ Israel shall perish, the Gentiles shall entreat him as a foul vessel.

⁶ "What acceptable thing shall I offer unto the LORD? Shall I bow my knee to the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, and with calves of a year old?

¹³ Thine eyes are clean, thou mayest not see evil, thou cannot behold the thing that is wicked. Wherefore then doest thou look upon the ungodly, and holdest thy tongue, when the wicked devoureth the man that is better than himself?

¹⁶ But they that fear God, say thus one to another, 'The LORD considereth and heareth it. Yea, it is before him a memorial book, written for such as fear the LORD, and remember his name.'

³⁰ And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered.

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel, how they might tangle him in his words.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

³ Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas: ⁴ and held a counsel, how they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.

⁵⁷ And they took Jesus and led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

⁶¹ and said, "This fellow said, I can destroy the temple of God, and build the it again in three days."

¹ when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held a counsel against Jesus, to put him to death,

⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

⁴ I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵ But I will show you, whom ye shall fear. Fear him which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea I say unto you, him fear.

²⁰ And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves perfect, to take him in his words, and to deliver him unto the power, and authority of the deputy.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas, whose surname was Iscariot, which was of the number of the twelve: ⁴ and he went his way, and communed with the high priests and officers, how he might betray him to them. ⁵ And they were glad: and promised to give him money. ⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away.

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again."

¹² Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life."

³⁵ If he called them gods unto whom the word of God was spoken — and the scripture cannot be broken -

³⁵ Then Jesus said unto them, "Yet a little while is the light with you: walk while ye have light, lest the darkness come on you. He that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ While ye have light, believe on the light that ye may be the children of light." These things spake Jesus, and departed, and hid himself from them.

⁶ But as soon as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.

⁵ And it chanced on the morrow that their rulers, and elders, and scribes: ⁶ as Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest: were gathered together at Jerusalem,

²⁵ which by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, 'Why did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.' ²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and also Pontius Pilate with the gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together:

¹² When day was come, certain of the Jews gathered themselves together, and made a vow saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ They were about forty which had made this conspiration. ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priest and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves with a vow, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us? ³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also? ³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of God? Shall tribulation? Or anguish? Or persecution, other hunger? Other nakedness? Other peril? Other sword? ³⁶ As it is written, "For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain." ³⁷ Nevertheless, in all these things we overcome strongly through his help that loved us. ³⁸ Yea and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither angels; nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come, ³⁹ neither height, neither lowth, neither any other creature shall be able to depart us from the love of God, showed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁵⁴ When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

⁸ Brethren, I would not have you ignorant of our trouble, which happened unto us in Asia. For we were grieved out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Also we received an answer of death in ourselves, and that was done because we should not put our trust in ourselves, but in God, which raiseth the dead to life again - ¹⁰ and which delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver — on whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliver us,

¹⁰ and which delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver — on whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliver us,

⁵ For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side: Outward was fighting, inward was fear. ⁶ Nevertheless God, that comforteth the abject, comforted us at the coming of Titus.

²⁶ In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers; in jeopardies of mine own nation, in jeopardies among the heathen. I have been in perils in cities, in perils in wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

⁸ Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. ⁹ For the fruit of the spirit is, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. ¹⁰ Accept that which is pleasing to the Lord, ¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them. ¹² For it is shame even to name those things which are done of them in secret: ¹³ but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light."

¹⁰ and for to look for his son from heaven, whom he raised from death: I mean Jesus, which delivereth us from wrath to come.

¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

¹⁸ that by two immutable things — in which it was impossible that God should lie — we might have perfect consolation, which have fled, for to hold fast the hope that is set before us:

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a place which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go.

¹³ And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

³⁸ which the world was not worthy of: They wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

⁶ That we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man doeth unto me."

²⁰ let the same know, that he which converted the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide the multitude of sins. {Here ends the General Epistle of James}

⁴ by the means whereof are given unto us excellent and most great promises; that by the help of them ye should be partakers of the godly nature, in that ye flee the corruption of worldly lust.

¹⁶ yea, almost in every epistle, speaking of such things: among which are many things hard to be understood: which they that are unlearned and unstable pervert, as they do other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty.

¹² And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it. ²⁴ And the people which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory unto it.
