Psalms 33 Cross References - Thomson

¹ By David. Rejoice ye righteous in the Lord: praise becometh the upright. ² Praise the Lord with the kithara; with the ten stringed psaltery sing praises to him. ³ Sing to him a new song; sing in harmonious and triumphant strains. ⁴ For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are true. ⁵ He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. ⁶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were established, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. ⁷ He gathered as in a vessel the waters of the sea; he laid up the deeps in store houses. ⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord; and all the inhabitants of the World stand in awe of him; ⁹ for he spake and they were brought into being: he commanded and they were created. ¹⁰ The Lord dissipateth the counsels of nations, and disannulleth the devices of peoples. He disannulleth also the counsels of chiefs. ¹¹ But the counsel of the Lord shall endure forever, the thoughts of his heart from generations to generations. ¹² Happy is the nation, whose God is the Lord; the people, whom he hath chosen for his heritage. ¹³ Out of heaven the Lord looked down; he took a view of all the children of men. ¹⁴ He looked down from his fixed habitation on all the inhabitants of the earth. ¹⁵ It is he alone who formed their hearts: he knoweth completely all their works. ¹⁶ A king is not saved because of a numerous army: nor can a giant be saved by his abundant strength. ¹⁷ A horse is a false thing for safety; nor can he with all his power save himself. ¹⁸ Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them who fear him; on them who confide in his mercy; ¹⁹ to deliver their souls from death; and to nourish them in a famine. ²⁰ Let our soul wait for the Lord; because he is our helper and our protector. ²¹ Because by him our heart can be made glad, therefore in his holy name we have trusted. ²² Let thy mercy, Lord, be upon us as we have put our trust in thee.

¹ In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.

³ And God said, "Let there be Light;" and there was light.

⁶ Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water; and let it make a separation between water and water." And it was so. God made the firmament; and God made a separation between the water which was below the firmament

⁹ Then God said, "Let the water which is below the heaven be gathered into one receptacle and let the dry land appear." ¹⁰ And it was so. The waters which were below the heaven were gathered into their several collections, and the dry land appeared. And God called the dry land, earth; and the collections of the waters he called, seas. And God saw that it was good.

¹ Thus were finished the heaven and the earth and all the arrangement of them.

⁷ then God formed the man, dust from the earth, and breathed upon his face a breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

⁷ And God came to a determination and said, "I will blot out from the face of this earth the man I have made, both man and beast; both reptiles and birds of the air. For I am grieved that I made them.

¹² And God beheld the earth and it was corrupt. Because all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth;

¹⁰ Come therefore, let us deal subtilly with them. Perhaps when they are multiplied, if a war should happen to us, they will join our enemies and fight against us and depart out of the land. ¹¹ So he set task masters over them to afflict them with labours and they built for Pharao fortified cities, namely, Peitho and Ramesses and On, which is Heliopolis. ¹² But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew stronger and stronger. So the Egyptians were abhorred by the children of Israel;

¹⁷ And behold I will embolden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians and they will go in after them. And I shall be glorified by Pharao and by all his army and by his chariots and by his horses. ¹⁸ And all the Egyptians shall know, that I am the Lord when I make myself glorious by Pharao and by his chariots and his horses.

²⁰ therefore Mariam the prophetess the sister of Aaron took in her hand a timbrel and all the women went out after her with timbrels in choirs,

¹⁹ and that upon looking up to heaven, and seeing the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and all the host of heaven, thou mayst not be led astray, and worship them, and perform religious service to those things which the Lord thy God hath arranged in due order, for all the nations which are under heaven.

⁶ For thou art a people dedicated to the Lord thy God, and the Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be a peculiar people to himself, in preference to all the nations which are on the face of the earth. ⁷ It was not because you were the most numerous of all the nations, that the Lord preferred you, and made choice of you; for you are the fewest of all the nations: ⁸ but because the Lord loved you, therefore in performance of the oath which he swore to your fathers, the Lord led you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed thee from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.

⁴ He is God, his works are perfect; All his ways are acts of judgment; A faithful God; he doth no injustice; Righteous and holy is the Lord.

¹³ and it shall come to pass, that when the feet of the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth shall rest in the water of the Jordan, the water of the Jordan shall fail, and the water which is coming down shall be stopped.

¹⁶ yet the waters coming down from above stopped. They stopped like one solid mass, reaching a great way back, even to a part of Kariathiarim; and the water below flowed down into the sea of Araba, the salt sea, until it was entirely gone, and the people stood over against Jericho.

⁴ and they, and their kings with them, came out like the sand of the sea for multitude, with horses and chariots in great abundance. ⁵ And when all these kings had assembled, and formed a junction, and encamped at the water of Maron to fight against Israel; ⁶ the Lord said to Joshua, Be not afraid of them, for to-morrow, about this time, I will deliver them up vanquished before Israel. Thou shalt hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. ⁷ So Joshua and all the warriors came upon them suddenly, at the water of Maron, and fell upon them in the hilly country: ⁸ and the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel, and they pursued them with slaughter, to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch, eastward, and hewed them down till there was none of them left alive.

¹² now therefore I ask of thee that mountain, as the Lord said on that day; for thou didst hear the word on that day. The' Enakims indeed are now there; the cities are fortified and large; if then the Lord be with me, I will exterminate them, as the Lord said to me.

² And the Lord said to Gideon, The people with thee are too numerous for me to deliver Madiam into their hands. Perhaps they may boast against me saying, My own hand hath saved me.

¹² Now Madiam, and Amalek, and all the children of the east lay along in the valley, like grasshoppers, for multitude, and their camels were innumerable. They were like the sand on the sea shore for multitude. ¹³ And when Gideon drew near, behold there was a man telling his comrade a dream. And he said, Behold I have had a dream. I thought I saw a cake of barley bread rolling about in the camp of Madiam, and it came to this tent, and smote it, and it fell. It indeed overturned it, and the tent fell. ¹⁴ And his comrade answered, and said, Is not this the sword of Gideon, son of Joas the Israelite? God hath delivered into his hand Madiam and all this camp. ¹⁵ And when Gideon heard the dream, and the interpretation of it, he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Arise, for the Lord hath delivered into our hand the camp of Madiam. ¹⁶ Then he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put a trumpet in every man's hand, and empty pitchers with lamps in the pitchers, ¹⁷ and said to them, Attend to me and do as I do. And whatever I do when I come to the edge of the camp, see that you do the same. ¹⁸ When I sound the horn, I and all with me; sound ye your horns, all around the camp, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon. ¹⁹ So Gideon, and the three hundred men who were with him, came to the border of the camp, at the beginning of the middle watch, and having alarmed the guards, they sounded the horns, and shook the pitchers which were in their hands. ²⁰ And when the three companies had sounded the horns, they broke the pitchers, and held the flambeaus in their left hands, and their trumpets in their right, and shouted, A sword for the Lord and for Gideon, ²¹ and stood every man in his place around the camp. And while the whole camp was running, and making signals, and fleeing, ²² they sounded the three hundred horns; and the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow throughout the whole camp. And when the host had fled as far as Bethseed, Tagaratha Abelmeoula near Tabath, ²³ the men of Israel assembled from Nephthaleim, and from Aser, and from all Manasses, and pursued Madiam. ²⁴ And Gideon sent messengers through all Ephraim, saying, Haste down to meet Madiam, and take possession of the waters, even to Baithera, and the Jordan. Upon which the men of Ephraim assembled, and, before the Madianites came up, got possession of the waters, even to Baithera, and the Jordan, ²⁵ and they took the princes of Madiam, Oreb and Zeb, and they slew Oreb at Sour Oreb, and Zeb they slew at Jakeph Zeph. And having pursued Madiam, they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gideon, from the border of the Jordan.

⁸ Then Jonathan said, Behold we are going to cross over to these men, therefore we must shew ourselves before them. ⁹ If they say to us, Stand off there till we tell you, then we must stand where we are, and not go up to them: ¹⁰ but if they say to us, Come up to us, then let us go up, for the Lord hath delivered them into our hands. This shall be a sign to us. ¹¹ So they both went to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they hid themselves. ¹² And the men of Messab, addressing Jonathan, and his armour bearer, said, Come up to us, and we will let you know something. Upon which Jonathan said to his armour bearer, Come up after me; for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel. ¹³ So Jonathan clambered up upon his hands and feet, and his armour bearer with him; and they turned back at the sight of Jonathan, and he smote them; and his armour bearer behind him, supplied him. ¹⁴ Now the first slaughter which Jonathan, with his armour bearer made, was about twenty men, with darts, and sling stones, and pebbles picked up from the ground. ¹⁵ And there was a consternation in the camp, and in the field; and all the people who were in Messab, and they who were spoiling, were struck with horror, and would not do any thing; for the earth trembled, and the consternation was from the Lord. ¹⁶ And the watchmen of Saul, at Gabaa of Benjamin, looked, and behold the camp was in confusion from one side to the other.

⁴ there came forth a mighty man from the line of the Philistines. His name was Goliath, of Geth. His height was four cubits and a span.

⁴⁵ David said to the Philistine, Thou comest against me with a sword, and a spear, and a shield, but I am coming to thee with the name of the Lord God of Sabbaoth, of the army of Israel, which thou hast, this day, defied. ⁴⁶ And the Lord will deliver thee this day into my hand, and I will kill thee, and cut off thy head, and give thy carcass, and the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day, to the birds of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel; ⁴⁷ and that all this assembly may know that the Lord saveth not with a sword or a spear. For the battle is the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands. ⁴⁸ Then the Philistine arose and went to meet David. ⁴⁹ And David put his hand in the scrip, and took out a stone, and slinged it, and smote the Philistine on the forehead, and the stone pierced through the helmet, into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.

⁵ And David and the Israelites played on high toned instruments of music, accompanied with songs, and on kinyras and on nablas, and on tympanums, and on cymbals, and on harps.

³¹ And when it was told David that Achitophel was among the conspirators with Abessalom, David said, Confound, I beseech thee, Lord my God, the counsel of Achitophel.

³⁴ but if thou return to the city, and wilt say to Abessalom, Thy brothers are gone, and the king thy father is gone, and hath left me behind, now therefore, I am thy servant, king. Let me live. I have been thy father's servant hitherto; but now I am thy servant: thou mayst baffle for me the counsel of Achitophel.

¹⁴ And Abessalom, and all Israel, said, The counsel of Chousi the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord had determined to defeat the counsel of Achitophel, which was good, that the Lord might bring upon Abessalom all the consequent evils.

²³ was not one left, who had not crossed the Jordan. Now when Achitophel saw that his advice was not taken, he saddled his ass, and arose, and went to his house to his own city, and having given orders to his household he strangled himself, and died, and was buried in his father's tomb.

¹⁶ Jesbi, who was of the race of Rapha, and the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels, brass weight, and who was clad in armour, thought to have smitten David; ¹⁷ but Abessa, son of Saruia, came to his assistance, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then David's men sword, saying, Thou shalt not go out with us any more to battle, lest thou extinguish the lamp of Israel. ¹⁸ And after this there was another battle, at Geth, with the Philistines, in which Sobocha the Astatothite smote Seph, one of the descendants of Rapha. ¹⁹ There was also a battle with the Philistines at Rom, when Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethlemite, smote Lachmi, the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. ²⁰ There was also another battle at Geth, and there was a smooth man who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in all, and he was a descendant of Rapha, ²¹ and defied Israel, but Jonathan son of Semei, David's brother, smote him. ²² These four descendants of the giants were born at Geth, and were of the house of Rapha, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

²⁷ Will God indeed dwell with men on the earth! If the heaven and the heaven of heaven will not suffice thee, far less indeed this house which I have built for thy name.

³⁰ Thou indeed wilt hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel. Whatever they may address towards this place thou indeed wilt hearken to it in the place of thy habitation in heaven, and wilt do and be merciful.

³⁹ thou indeed wilt hearken from heaven; from thy settled habitation and be merciful, and do and give to every man as thou knowest his heart [for thou alone knowest the hearts of all the children of men]

⁴³ thou indeed wilt hearken from heaven; from thy settled habitation, and do according to all, for which the stranger may call upon thee, that all nations may know thy name and fear thee as thy people Israel do, and that they may know that this house which I have built, is called by thy name.

¹⁰ Son Ader sent to him saying, God do so to me and more also, if I do not make Samaria a jakes for all the people of my infantry.

²⁷ And the Israelites were mustered and went out to meet them. And when Israel had encamped over against them like two little flocks of kids, while Syria filled the country, ²⁸ the man of God came and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria hath said, The Lord God of Israel is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the vallies, therefore I will deliver this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. ²⁹ So having encamped against each other seven days, they came to an engagement on the seventh day; and Israel smote of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day,

⁶ For the Lord had caused the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, and the sound of a great army to be heard in the Syrian camp: whereupon they said one to another, Now hath the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites and the kings of Egypt to come upon us. ⁷ Therefore they arose and fled while it was dark. They left their tents and their horses and their asses in the camp as it was, and fled for their lives.

²⁰ they prevailed over them. And the Agarenians with all their tents, were delivered into their hands. For in the battle they cried to God and he hearkened to them, because they trusted in him.

⁸ while David and all Israel were playing with all their might before God, on psalteries and kinyras and nablas and tympanums and cymbals and trumpets.

¹⁶ Now David had said to the chiefs of the Levites, Appoint your brethren, such as play on musical instruments, on nablas and kinyras, and cymbals, that they may make a loud sound with the voice of joy.

²² And Chononias, a chief of the Levites, was master of the odes, for he was skilled therein.

²⁸ and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting and the sound of clarions and trumpets, answered by nablas and kinyras,

¹⁰ Sing praises to his holy name. Let the heart which seeketh his favour be triad.

³⁵ And say, Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us and deliver us from our enemies; That we may praise thy holy name, And in thy praises make our boast.

³ With Idithun were the sons of Idithun, Godolias and Suri, and Iseas and Asabias, and Matthathias, six after their father Idithim, chanting on kinyras thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.

⁶ All these with their father, sung in the house of God to cymbals and nablas and kinyras, for the service of the house of God near the king, with Asaph and Idithun and Aiman. ⁷ And the number of them, including younger brethren, who were instructed to sing to the Lord, even all who were skilled, was two hundred and eighty eight.

⁹ And Zare the Ethiopean came out against them with an army of a million, with three hundred chariots. And when he had advanced as far as Maresa, ¹⁰ Asa went out to meet him, and drew up for battle, in the vale north of Maresa, ¹¹ and Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to save with many or with few. Strengthen us, O Lord our God; for on thee is our reliance; and in thy name we are come against this great multitude. Lord our God, let not man prevail against thee. ¹² So the Lord smote the Ethiopeans before Juda. And the Ethiopeans fled, ¹³ and Asa and his people pursued them as far as Gedor. And the Ethiopeans fell so that they could not recover themselves; for they were trampled down before the Lord, and before his army. And when they had taken immense spoils,

⁹ For the eyes of the Lord look throughout the whole earth, to strengthen them whose heart is perfect towards him. In this matter thou hast acted foolishly. Henceforward thou shalt have war.

¹² Lord our God, wilt thou not judge them? Because we have not power to withstand this great multitude which is coming against us, and do not know what to do with them, we can only have our eyes on thee.

²³ the Ammonites and Moab rose upon the inhabitants of Seir to exterminate and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up one against the other till they were utterly destroyed.

⁸ With him are arms of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to save, and to fight our battle. So the people were encouraged by the words of Ezekias king of Juda. ⁹ After this Sennacherim, king of the Assyrians, sent his servants against Jerusalem. While he himself with his main army lay before Lachis, he sent to Ezekias king of Juda and to all the Jews in Jerusalem saying,

²¹ the Lord sent an angel who destroyed every mighty man, and warrior, including chief and general, in the camp of the king of Assur. So he returned with shame to his own land, and went to the house of his god, and some of them who sprang from his loins slew him with the sword.

¹² Though these men were intrusted with the works, yet over them were overseers, namely Jehu and Abdias the Levites of the house of Merari, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, of the house of Kaath. And with regard to all the chiefs of Levi, every one skilled in instrumental musick

¹² Who changeth the counsels of the crafty, so that their hands can perform no enterprise. ¹³ Who entangleth the wise in their wisdom, and defeateth the counsel of the artful.

¹⁹ From six distresses he will deliver thee, and in the seventh evil shall not touch thee. ²⁰ In famine he will deliver thee from death, and in battle save thee from the edge of the sword. ²¹ He will hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou need'st not be afraid of impending ills. ²² At the wicked and unrighteous thou shalt laugh;

⁸ Thy hands have fashioned me and made me. After that thou hast changed thy mind and smitten me.

¹¹ For he knoweth the works of the wicked, and on seeing wickedness will not overlook it.

¹³ But if he hath judged thus, who can gainsay him? For he hath done what was his pleasure.

¹⁰ His decree had drawn a circle on the face of the water; at the confines of light and darkness.

¹³ The bars of heaven were terrified at him; and by a decree he doomed to death the apostate dragon.

²⁴ For he surveyeth the whole world; and knoweth all on the earth;

⁴ It is the divine spirit, which made me, even the inspiration of the Almighty, which teacheth me.

²¹ For he is the observer of men"s actions, and nothing that they do can escape his notice: ²² nor can there be a place, where the workers of iniquity can be concealed."

⁷ He will not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but will seat them at last with kings on a throne and they shall be exalted.

⁸ It was I who shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed eagerly from its mother's womb. ⁹ It was I who made a cloud its cloathing; and thick darkness its swaddling bands. ¹⁰ It was I who set bounds to it; surrounded it with bars and gates; ¹¹ and said to it, Thus far thou shalt come and no farther: but in thyself thy waves shall be spent.

¹⁹ Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror? ²⁰ When thou arrayedst him with armour didst thou inspire his dauntless breast with courage? ²¹ Pawing in the plain he swelleth with pride, and rusheth impetuous to the field. ²² Meeting a king he meeteth him with scorn, and turneth not back for fear of the sword. ²³ On him the bow and the sword swell with pride; and his rage will cause the ground to vanish, ²⁴ nor will he believe till the trumpet sounds: ²⁵ but at the sound of the trumpet he saith, Aha, and snuffeth the battle from afar, with a bound and neighing.

¹ Why did nations rage? And tribes meditate vain things? ² The kings of the earth combined; and the chiefs assembled together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, [saying] ³ "Let us break their bands asunder and throw off from us their yoke." ⁴ He who dwelleth in heaven will laugh them to scorn; the Lord will treat them with derision.

¹¹ But let all, whose hope is in thee, rejoice. They shall exult forever, and thou wilt dwell among them: and all who love thy name will glory in thee; ¹² because thou wilt bless the righteous. Thou, Lord, hast covered us as with armour of favour.

¹⁵ The nations were completely entrapped by the destruction which they contrived; in the gin which they hid, their foot is caught.

⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord, whose throne is in heaven; whose eyes look down on the needy; whose eye lids examine the sons of men;

⁷ Because the Lord is righteous, therefore he loved righteousness; his countenance beheld uprightness.

⁶ The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; tried silver, clear of dross, seven times purified.

⁵ As for me, I have trusted in thy mercy; let my heart rejoice in thy salvation:

² The Lord looked down from heaven on the children of men; to see if any had understanding or were seeking God.

⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, they rejoice the heart. The commandment of the Lord is clear, it enlighteneth the eyes.

⁷ Some boast of chariots and some of horses; but by the name of the Lord our God we shall be magnified.

¹¹ Because on thee they were turning evils. Were devising a counsel which they could not accomplish;

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him:

¹⁰ All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth; to them who seek his covenant and his testimonies.

¹⁴ Wait for the Lord and be of good courage; let thy heart be strengthened and wait for the Lord.

⁷ The Lord is my helper and my protector: on him my heart relied, and I am helped. My flesh also is revived, that with cheerfulness I may praise him.

⁹ Save thy people and bless thine inheritance; feed them also and lift them up forever.

¹⁰ The Lord heard and compassionated me: the Lord became my helper. ¹¹ Thou didst turn my mourning into joy; thou didst rend in pieces my sackcloth and gird me with gladness, ¹² that my glory might sound thy praise; and that I might not be absorpt in grief. Lord, my God, to thee I will give thanks for evermore.

¹⁰ Many are the chastisements of the sinner; but mercy will encompass him who trusteth in the Lord.

¹⁰ Many are the chastisements of the sinner; but mercy will encompass him who trusteth in the Lord. ¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord and exult ye righteous, and shout for joy all ye who are upright in heart.

¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord and exult ye righteous, and shout for joy all ye who are upright in heart.

⁶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were established, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.

⁹ for he spake and they were brought into being: he commanded and they were created.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous: and his ears are open to their prayer. ¹⁶ But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil; to destroy the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cried and the Lord heard them; ¹⁷ and delivered them out of all their afflictions. ¹⁸ The Lord is near to those of a contrite heart; and will save them who are lowly in spirit. ¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord will deliver them. ²⁰ He keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

⁵ Lord, thy mercy is in the heavens, and thy truth reacheth to the clouds. ⁶ Thy saving goodness is like the mountains of God, and thy judgments like the vasty deep. Thou, O Lord, preservest men and beasts.

³ Trust in the Lord and exercise kindness; dwell in the land and thou shalt be fed with the riches thereof.

¹⁹ In time of troubles they shall not be shamed, and in days of famine they shall be plentifully fed.

³ and put in my mouth a new song; a hymn to our God. Many will see and be struck with awe, and trust in the Lord.

³ For they took not possession of the land with their own sword: nor was it their own arm that saved them: but thy right hand and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou tookest pleasure in them.

⁶ For in mine own bow I will not put trust, nor is it mine own sword that can save me. ⁷ For thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put to shame them who hated us.

²¹ for he knoweth the secrets of the heart?

⁷ Thou didst love righteousness and hate iniquity, therefore God, thy God anointed thee with the oil of joy above thy associates.

¹⁴ Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Most High. ¹⁵ Then call on me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver thee and thou shalt praise me." ¹⁶ But to the sinner God said, "Why dost thou mention my judgments, or take my covenant in thy mouth?

⁸ As for me, I shall be like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God. I have trusted in the mercy of God for this age and for the age of the ages.

² God looked down from heaven on the children of men to see if any had understanding or were seeking God.

¹ For the conclusion. For Idithun. A Psalm. By David. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? For from him is my salvation. ² For my God and my Saviour himself, is my supporter; I shall never any more be shaken.

⁵ But be thou, O my soul, subjected to God: for from him is mine expectation. ⁶ Because my God and my Saviour himself, is my support; I shall no more wander as an exile.

⁴ Happy he, whom thou hast chosen and taken to thyself! He shall dwell in thy courts. Let us be satisfied with the good things of thy house: thy temple is holy.

⁷ May God bless us! And let all the ends of the earth fear him.

²² Therefore with a musical instrument I will praise thee; thy truth, O God: I will sing and play on a kithara to thee, the holy one of Israel.

⁷ Thou art terrible; who therefore can withstand thee, on the account of thine indignation.

¹³ He had cleft the sea and led them through it; he had stayed the waters as in a bottle.

³⁶ though they expressed love for him with their mouth, they lied to him with their tongue, ³⁷ and their heart was not right with him, nor were they stedfast in his covenant.

² Take a psalm and bring a tympanum; the sweet sounding psaltery with a kithara. ³ Sound the trumpet at the new moon; at the set day of your festival.

¹⁰ Mercy and truth have met each other; righteousness and peace have mutually embraced. ¹¹ Truth hath sprung up out of the earth, and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

³ Because he will deliver thee from the snare of hunters; and tumultuous accusation; ⁴ with his breast will overshadow thee: therefore under his wings thou shalt rest secure. His truth will encompass thee with armour. ⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor of the arrow which flieth by day; ⁶ of the thing which walketh in darkness; nor of mischance and the demon of noon day. ⁷ A thousand may fall at thy side; and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not approach thee.

¹⁰ no evils shall come upon thee, nor shall a scourge approach thy dwelling.

³ with a ten stringed psaltery; with an ode on the kithara.

⁵ How great are thy works, Lord! How very deep are thy designs!

⁵ thy testimonies are firmly established. Holiness becometh thy house, Lord; to the utmost extent of days.

¹ When the house was built after the captivity. An Ode by David. O SING to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all ye of this land.

⁹ worship the Lord in his holy court: Let all the earth be moved at his presence. ¹⁰ Say among the nations, The Lord is King, for he hath renovated this World, which shall no more be shaken; he will judge peoples with righteousness.

¹³ before the Lord; for he is coming; for he is coming to judge the earth, he will judge the World with righteousness"and the several tribes with his truth.

¹² Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous, and give thanks at the mention of his holiness.

¹ A Psalm by David. Sing to the Lord, a new song, that the Lord hath done wonderful things. His own right hand and his holy arm hath saved him.

⁴ Raise a shout of triumph to God, all ye of the earth! Sing and exult and sing in harmonious strains. ⁵ Sing to the Lord with a kithara; with a kithara and a tuneful psalm.

⁴ As the honour of a king loveth judgment; thou hast provided rules of rectitude; and executed judgment and justice in Israel.

¹⁹ because he hath looked out from the height of his sanctuary. Out of heaven the Lord looked down on the earth;

⁶ Is the abyss like a garment to be its covering; are waters to stand above the mountains? ⁷ At thy rebuke they shall flee; at the peal of thy thunder they will tremble. ⁸ They ascend mountains, they go down vallies; to the place which thou hast founded for them. ⁹ Thou has set a bound which they shall not pass; nor shall they return to cover the earth.

²⁴ How manifold are thy works, Lord, with wisdom thou hast done them all. The earth is filled with thy creatures;

³⁰ send forth thy breath and they are created: thou indeed canst renew the face of the earth.

⁹ The house of Israel have trusted in the Lord: he is their helper and protector. ¹⁰ The house of Aaron have trusted in the Lord; he is their helper and protector. ¹¹ They who fear the Lord have trusted in him: he is their helper and protector. ¹² The Lord hath remembered us and blessed us: he hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron:

¹⁵ A sound of joy and deliverance in the tents of the righteous! The right hand of the Lord hath exerted power!

⁴⁹ ZAIN. Remember thy words to thy servant, for which thou hast caused me to hope;

⁶⁴ Lord the earth is full of thy mercy, teach me thy statutes.

⁷⁵ I know, Lord, that thy judgments are just: and that thou with truth hast humbled me! ⁷⁶ let thy mercy be my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.

⁹⁰ thy truth to all generations. Thou hast established the earth and it shall continue. ⁹¹ By thy arrangement day shall continue: for all things are in subjection to thee.

¹²⁸ For this cause I directed my course to all thy commandments: I hated every evil way.

¹ A Song of the steps. To thee who dwellest in heaven, I have raised mine eyes.

⁵ I have waited for thee, Lord: my soul hath waited for thy word; ⁶ my soul hath hoped for the Lord, from the morning watch till night.

³ Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good; with instruments of musick praise his name; for it is good. ⁴ For the Lord hath made choice of Jacob for himself; of Israel for his peculiar treasure.

⁸ Deliver me not up to the wicked from my desire. Against me they have formed devices: Forsake me not, lest they be exalted.

¹ By David. On Goliath. Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. ² He is my mercy and my refuge; my support and my deliverer, my protector in whom I trusted, who subdueth the people under me.

⁹ O God, to thee I will sing a new song; to thee I will play on a ten stringed psaltery,

¹⁵ The people who had such things were hailed happy; but happy is the people, whose God is the Lord.

¹⁵ The Lord upholdeth all that are falling, and raiseth up all who are broken down. ¹⁶ The eyes of all wait upon thee: and thou givest them their food in due season; thou openest thy hands, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

¹ An Alleluia, of Aggaius and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, for good is a song of praise; to our God let praise be sweetly sung.

¹⁰ In the courage of the horse he will not delight, nor is he pleased with the agility of the warrior. ¹¹ The Lord delighteth in them who fear him, and in all them who trust in his mercy.

¹⁹ He is sending his word to Jacob; his statutes and his judgments to Israel. ²⁰ He hath not dealt thus with any nation, nor hath he laid open to them his judgments.

¹ An Alleluia of Aggaius and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, ye of the heavens: praise him, ye in the highest. ² Praise him all ye his angels: praise him all ye his hosts. ³ Sun and moon! Praise him: praise him all ye stars and light. ⁴ Praise him ye heavens of heavens: and thou water under the heavens! ⁵ let them praise the name of the Lord; for he spake and they were produced: he commanded and they were created.

⁵ let them praise the name of the Lord; for he spake and they were produced: he commanded and they were created. ⁶ He established them forever and ever: he made a decree and it shall not pass away.

¹ An Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. Praise is his due in the congregation of saints.

³ Let them praise his name in choirs; on the tympanum and psaltery sing praises to him:

³ praise him with the sounding trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and kithara: ⁴ praise him with the tympanum and chorus: praise him with stringed instruments and organs; ⁵ praise him with soft sounding cymbals: praise him with the cymbals of triumph: ⁶ let every breath praise the Lord. Psalm 151 N.B. There is in the Septuagint another Psalm, with this title: This Psalm on David was written by himself in prose, when he fought in single combat with Goliath. I was little among my brethren, and the youngest of my father's family. I fed my father's flocks. My hands had made an organ; and my fingers had tuned a psaltery. But who will tell my Lord. My Lord himself heareth. He sent his messenger and took me from my father's flocks and anointed me with anointing oil. My brothers were comely and great; but the Lord did not delight in them. I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols. But I drew his own sword and cut off his head, and took away reproach from the children of Israel.

²⁹ and when he secured the fountains of the earth below; And when he made the foundations of the earth strong:

³ The Lord will not kill with hunger a righteous soul; but he will overthrow the life of the wicked.

³ The eyes of the Lord are in every place, they behold both the evil and the good.

⁸ The sacrifices of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of the upright are acceptable to him.

²¹ There are many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord shall endure forever.

³⁰ There is no wisdom, there is no fortitude, no counsel in the wicked. ³¹ A horse is provided for the day of battle: but help cometh from the Lord.

² The rich and poor have met each other; and the Lord hath made them both.

¹² If thou should say, I do not know this man: know that the Lord knoweth the hearts of all: and that he, who gave breath to all, knoweth all things: and will render to every one according to his works.

¹⁹ As faces do not resemble faces: so neither do the thoughts of men.

⁵ Since all the words of God are tried, and he is a shield to them who revere him;

²⁹ God made mankind upright; but they have found out many classes.

¹¹ Having turned about, I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; nay not even bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding; nor favour to men of knowledge; that time and chance will happen to them all as forming one whole.

⁵ And as for the son of Aram and the son of Romelias; because they have taken evil counsel, saying, ⁶ "Let us go up to Judea and confer with the people and bring them into our measures; and let us make the son of Tabeel king over it, ⁷ thus saith the Lord of hosts. This counsel shall not stand; nor shall it take effect.

⁹ Know this, nations, and be struck with consternation. Hearken ye who are in the remotest parts of the earth; be struck with consternation ye who have made yourselves strong; for though you should again become strong; with consternation you shall again be stricken, ¹⁰ and what counsel soever you may take, the Lord will defeat it; and what word soever you may speak shall not take effect among you; because God is with us:

²⁴ Thus saith the Lord of hosts, as I have spoken so it shall be; and as I have determined, so it shall stand.

²⁷ For who can disannul what the holy God hath decreed? and his hand which is lifted high, who can turn aside?

³ And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them: and I will dissipate their counsel; and they will consult their gods and their idols; and them who cause a voice to proceed from the ground, namely the belly speakers.

¹¹ The princes of Tanis shall be fools, those wise counsellors of the king, their counsel shall be turned into folly. How can you say to the king, We are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings? ¹² Where now are these wise men of thine? Let them tell thee publickly and declare what the Lord of hosts hath determined against Egypt. ¹³ The princes of Tanis have failed; and the princes of Memphis are exalted, and they will lead Egypt astray, tribe by tribe. ¹⁴ For the Lord hath mingled for them a spirit of error, and they with all their works have made Egypt reel, as a drunkard doth, when he is vomiting.

⁹ And in that day they will say, "Behold our God in whom we trusted, will indeed save us. He is the Lord, for him we waited and exulted; let us therefore rejoice in our salvation.

¹⁶ but said, "We will flee on horses." Therefore flee you shall. And, "We will mount swift coursers, " therefore swift shall be your pursuers.

¹⁶ he shall dwell in a lofty cavern of a strong rock: bread shall be given him and his water shall not fail.

³¹ but they who wait upon God shall have new strength; they shall put forth fresh feathers like eagles; they shall run and not be wearied; they shall march on and shall not faint.

¹⁰ [p] Sing to the Lord a new song, ye, his government! Praise his name, ye from the utmost border of the earth, ye who go clown on the sea and navigate it, ye islands, and ye who dwell therein.

²³ [c] Rejoice, O heavens! because God hath compassionated Israel. Utter sounds of joy, ye foundations of the earth! Burst forth into songs, ye mountains and hills, and all ye trees which are thereon! Because God hath redeemed Jacob and Israel shall be glorified. [[c] the chorus]

²⁵ Who else can dispel from the heart the signs of belly speakers and divinations? I am he who turneth sages backwards and maketh their counsel foolish;

¹⁰ who can declare events before they happen, as if they were already accomplished. When I have spoken, all my counsel shall stand; and all that I have determined, I will effect.

⁸ For my counsels are not as your counsels: nor are my ways as your ways, saith the Lord. ⁹ But distant as the heaven is from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways; and your thoughts from my understanding.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Most High, who on earth inhabiteth eternity, who is Holy among holies; whose name is THE MOST HIGH; who at rest in the holies giveth patience to the humble, and life to them who are of a contrite heart;

⁸ But now, Lord, thou art our father. Though we are clay, we are all the works of thy hands:

¹ Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth, my footstool: what sort of an house will you build for me? And of what sort shall be the place of my rest?

²² Will you not fear me, saith the Lord, nor be struck with awe at the presence of me who have by an everlasting decree, made sand a boundary to the ocean, so that it shall not pass it. Though it be tossed with a tempest, it shall not prevail; though the waves thereof roar, they shall not overpass it.

² and expose them to the sun and moon and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven which they loved and served, and after which they went and to which they were attached, and to which they bowed down. They shall not be lamented nor buried; but shall be for a spectacle, on the face of the earth

²³ [J] Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom: nor the mighty man boast of his strength; neither let the rich man boast of his riches:

⁷ [Omitted] ⁸ [Omitted] ⁹ From Tharsis will come the gold of Mophaz, and the hand of men skilled in casting gold. They are all the workmanship of artists. With blue and purple raiment they are to be clothed: ¹⁰ They must be taken up and carried; for they cannot walk. Fear them not for they can do you no harm, and there is no good in them. ¹¹ Thus shall you say to them. Let the gods, which have not made heaven and earth, perish from the earth and from under heaven. ¹² It is the Lord who made the earth by his power, who established the World by his wisdom: and by his understanding spread out the heaven,

¹⁶ Unlike to these is the portion of Jacob: for he who formed all things is his inheritance. His name is, The Lord.

²³ I am God when near, saith the Lord; and am I not God when far off? ²⁴ Can any one hide himself in secret places; and I not see him? Do I not fill the heaven and the earth? saith the Lord.

¹¹ When I plan a purpose of peace and not evils against you, to grant you this,

¹⁹ Thou art the God, the Great, the Mighty One, the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in works, the Mighty Omnipotent God, and the Lord of great renown. Thine eyes are on the ways of the children of men to give to every one according to his way.

³⁷ [a] Who ever enjoined thus; when it hath happened, hath not the Lord ordered it?

⁵⁰ until the Lord look down from heaven and behold.

¹⁰ [Thus saith the Lord, Lord,] In that day things will come into thy heart, and thou wilt form wicked devices ¹¹ and say, "I will go up against an abject land: I shall come upon them who are living at ease, and dwelling in peaceful security; all inhabiting a land in which there is not a walled town, and who have neither bars nor gates; ¹² to take prey and to gather their spoils, by turning my hand against this wasted country which is re-settled, and against a nation gathered together from many nations who have gotten wealth and inhabit the navel of the earth." ¹³ Saba and Daidan and the merchants of Carthage, and all their colonies, will say to thee, Thou art coming for prey, just to collect plunder and spoil: thou hast assembled thy troops to take silver and gold, to carry off cattle, to gather the spoil. ¹⁴ Therefore prophesy Son of man and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord, At the time when my people Israel shall be dwelling in peace, wilt thou not be roused? ¹⁵ Yes; thou wilt come from thy place, from the extremity of the north: thou and many nations with thee, all mounted on horses, a great assembly, and a mighty army, ¹⁶ will indeed come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: in the latter days I will bring thee up against my land, that all the nations may know me when I am hallowed by thee in their sight, ¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord, Lord, to Gog, Thou art he of whom I have spoken in former times, by the ministry of my servants the prophets of Israel, that in these days and years I would bring thee up against them. ¹⁸ But it shall come to pass on that day, on the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, my wrath shall come up, saith the Lord, Lord, and my zeal. ¹⁹ In the fire of mine indignation, I have spoken, there shall indeed be on that day a great shock in the land of Israel. ²⁰ At the presence of the Lord, the fishes of the sea shall be shaken, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and all the reptiles which creep on the earth, and all the men on the face of the earth. And the mountains shall be rent to pieces, and the vallies shall sink down, and every wall shall fall to the ground. ²¹ And for all this indeed I will call up terror saith the Lord: every man's sword shall be against his brother. ²² And I will execute judgment on him, with pestilence and blood and with tempests of rain and hailstones; and I will rain down fire and brimstone on him, and on all with him, even on the many nations with him. ²³ And I shall be magnified and hallowed and glorified; and made known in the sight of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

³⁷ Now therefore I Nabuchodonosar praise and extol and glorify the king of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are judgments and all them who walk in pride he can abase.

²⁵ Then Darius the king wrote; To all the peoples, tribes and languages who dwell in the whole earth, Peace be multiplied to you. ²⁶ From my presence this decree is established, that in every government of my kingdom men tremble and be struck with awe at the presence of the God of Daniel; for he is the living God and endureth forever, and his kingdom can never be destroyed and his dominion will be to the end.

² that they may chime together like them who sing in unison. I remembered all their wickedness, now their own devices have encompassed them. They were all open to my view.

³ Assur cannot save us. We will no more mount horses; we will no more say to the works of our hand, "You are our gods." He who is in thee will compassionate the fatherless.

⁷ "The house of Israel hath provoked to wrath the spirit of the Lord. Are not these his purposes? Are not his words good with him? Have these walked in a straight course?"

¹² But they did not know the determination of the Lord nor understand his counsel. Because he hath gathered them as sheaves for a threshing floor,

¹⁵ whilst thou art pressing into the sea thy horses ruffling a mighty water.

⁷ and they shall be like the warriors of Ephraim; and their heart shall be gladdened as with wine; and their children shall see and be made glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

⁴⁵ that you may be the children of your Father in heaven: for he causeth the sun to rise on bad and good, and sendeth the rain on just and unjust.

³¹ Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat; or, what shall we drink; or, with what shall we be clothed? ³² For about all such things the nations are solicitous: for your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God, and the righteousness required by him, and all those things will be superadded to you.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your belief, be it to you.

⁴⁷ and my spirit exulteth in God, my Saviour: ⁴⁸ because he hath regarded the low condition of his handmaid. For behold! henceforth all generations will call me happy. ⁴⁹ Because the Mighty One hath done great things for me; therefore hallowed be his name. ⁵⁰ Indeed his mercy on them who fear him, extendeth to generations of generations.

² Whereupon he said to them, When you pray, say, Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be thy name; thy reign come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven;

¹ In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ By him all things were made, and without him there was not made one single thing.

²⁸ and I give them everlasting life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one wrest them out of my hand.

³⁰ I and my father are one.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one cometh to the father but by me.

¹⁶ It was not you who chose me; but it was I who chose you, and placed you that you may go forth bearing fruit, and that your fruit may continue, that the Father may give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

²² So you at present are in grief; but I will see you again and your heart will be made joyful; and that joy of yours no one shall take from you.

²² And having said this he breathed on them, and saith to them, Receive a holy spirit.

²⁷ For indeed against thy holy Child Jesus whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and the tribes of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do what thy hand and thy council had determinately marked out beforehand to be brought to pass.

¹¹ Then Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know certainly that the Lord hath sent his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the Jews.

¹⁷ though at the same time he did not fail to give an evidence of himself, by conferring favours, giving us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ To God all his works are known from eternity;

²⁶ and hath made of one blood the whole nation of men to inhabit the whole face of the earth, having marked out times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitation,

²⁵ They changed the truth of God for a falsity, and worshipped and served the creature, and not the creator who is blessed forever, Amen:

¹⁰ as it is written, "There is none righteous, no, not one.

⁴ Now to him who worketh the reward is not reckoned a favour, but a debt. ⁵ But to him who doth not work, but believeth in him who acquitteth the ungodly, his belief is placed to account for righteousness. ⁶ As David also saith in respect to the happiness of the man to whose account God placeth righteousness without works, ⁷ "Happy they whose iniquities are forgiven; And whose sins are covered: ⁸ Happy the man to whose account the Lord will not charge sin."

¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of the one man, the many were ranked as sinners, so also by the obedience of the other man, the many will be ranked as righteous.

¹² So that the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy, just and good.

⁸ Now I say that, for the truth of God, Jesus Christ became the minister of circumcision, to confirm the promises made to the fathers; ⁹ and that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the nations and sing to thy name."

³⁰ And it is owing to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us wisdom from God, namely, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption, ³¹ so that as it is written, Let him who boasteth boast in the Lord."

⁵ So pass no judgment prematurely, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and expose to view the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise for every one will be from God.

⁴ as he chose us in him before the5 foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love;

¹¹ by whom we, [having been previously marked out in a determinate manner, according to the purpose of him who effecteth all things according to the counsel of his will] were made his inheritance,

¹⁹ when: you are speaking to one another, when with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs you are singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord:

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice.

¹⁶ Because all the things which are in the heavens and which are on the earth were created by him, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, they were all created by him, and for him; ¹⁷ therefore he is before all, and they are all kept in consistence by him,

¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell richly in you with all wisdom, when you teach and admonish one another; when with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs you sing gratefully to the Lord with your heart.

¹⁶ who alone hath immortality, who inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, or can see, to whom be honour and everlasting dominion. Amen.

² in hope of an everlasting life, which the God of truth promised before the times consisting of ages,

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

³ who being an effulgence of the glory, and an impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having by himself made a purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

⁹ Thou didst love righteousness and hate iniquity, Therefore God, thy God anointed thee With the oil of joy above thy associates!"

¹³ There is indeed no creature concealed from his sight. All things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to deceive, there might be strong consolation for us who have fled to take hold of this proffered hope,

³ By faith we understand that the ages were arranged by a word of God, that the things seen should not at all be out of things which appear.

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

⁹ but you being a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people peculiarly set apart that you may publish the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

¹² Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their prayers: But the face of the Lord is against them who do evil."

⁵ For this they wilfully forget, that by the word of God there were heavens of old, and an earth consisting of water and in water,

⁸ And the four animate beings had, each of them six wings around and underneath they were full of eyes. And they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!

¹¹ Thou, O Lord, art worthy to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because thou hast created all things, and at thy will they exist and were created.

⁸ And when he took the book, the four animate beings and the four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb, having, every of them, kitharas and golden cups full of incense which is the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou hast been slain and hast purchased us for God with thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

² And I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of musicians playing on their kitharas ³ and singing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four animate beings, and the elders; and no one could learn the song, but the hundred and forty four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven having everlasting glad tidings to proclaim to the inhabitants of the earth even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, ⁷ saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

³ and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord, God, Almighty; Just and true are thy ways O thou king of the saints; ⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou alone art perfect. For all the nations will come and worship before thee, For thy rules of rectitude are made manifest.

⁴ Who would not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou alone art perfect. For all the nations will come and worship before thee, For thy rules of rectitude are made manifest.
