Psalms 19 Cross References - YLT

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring. ² Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge. ³ There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard. ⁴ Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them, ⁵ And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path. ⁶ From the end of the heavens is his going out, And his revolution is unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple, ⁸ The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes, ⁹ The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous—together. ¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb. ¹¹ Also—Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.' ¹² Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent, ¹³ Also—from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression, ¹⁴ Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer!

⁶ And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.' <sup>7</sup> And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which are under the expanse, and the waters which are above the expanse: and it is so. <sup>8</sup> And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day second.

²² He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in. ²³ He who is making princes become nothing, Judges of earth as emptiness hath made; ²⁴ Yea, they have not been planted, Yea, they have not been sown, Yea, not taking root in the earth is their stock, And also He hath blown upon them, and they wither, And a whirlwind as stubble taketh them away. ²⁵ And unto whom do ye liken Me, And am I equal? saith the Holy One. ²⁶ Lift up on high your eyes, And see—who hath prepared these? He who is bringing out by number their host, To all of them by name He calleth, By abundance of strength (And he is strong in power) not one is lacking.

¹¹ Thus do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under these heavens. ¹² The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

¹⁷ and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth, ¹⁸ and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that it is good;

¹³ and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us—to reach even unto you; ¹⁴ for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ, ¹⁵ not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope—your faith increasing—in you to be enlarged, according to our line—into abundance, ¹⁶ in the places beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;

⁵ Also, the sun hath risen, and the sun hath gone in, and unto its place panting it is rising there.

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

⁵ For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.

²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.

²⁴ have ye not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain; ²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible; ²⁶ I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air;

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹ Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us, ² looking to the author and perfecter of faith—Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him—did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became—I Paul—a ministrant.

⁶ and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart, ⁷ and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up, ⁸ and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes, ⁹ and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

¹⁸ `And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law, on a book, from that before the priests the Levites, ¹⁹ and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them; ²⁰ so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.

⁴ The Rock! —perfect is His work, For all His ways are just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright is He.

⁸ the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.

⁵ For—not so is my house with God; For—a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For—all my salvation, and all desire, For—He hath not caused it to spring up.

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

³⁰ God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

¹ An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth. ² I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old, ³ That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us. ⁴ We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done. ⁵ And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons. ⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons, ⁷ And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.

⁵ Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely is holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

⁷ The works of His hands are true and just, Stedfast are all His appointments.

⁹ Beth. With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe—according to Thy word.

¹⁴ In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.

²⁴ Thy testimonies also are my delight, The men of my counsel!

⁷² Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

⁹⁶ Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad is Thy command—exceedingly!
⁹⁷ Mem. O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it is my meditation.
⁹⁸ Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it is before me to the age. ⁹⁹ Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies are my meditation. ¹⁰⁰ Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.

¹⁰⁵ Nun. A lamp to my foot is Thy word, And a light to my path.

¹¹¹ I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart are they.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold—even fine gold. ¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

¹³⁰ The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.

¹⁵² Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!

¹⁹ Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. ²⁰ He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

⁴ For giving to simple ones—prudence, To a youth—knowledge and discretion.

²² `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge? ²³ Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.

¹⁶ Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among My disciples.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'

³² `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth; ³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

³⁹ `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

² much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;

² and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God—the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

⁴ for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

⁸ therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness—every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹⁵ and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise—to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus; ¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted—for every good work having been completed.

¹⁸ that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us, ¹⁹ which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls; ²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law—that of liberty, and did continue there, this one—not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work—this one shall be happy in his doing.

⁹ If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son.
¹⁰ He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son; ¹¹ and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this—the life—is in His Son; ¹² he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God—the life he hath not.

¹⁰ and I fell before his feet, to bow before him, and he saith to me, `See—not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.'

⁵ because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'

¹⁶ when they have a matter, it hath come unto me, and I have judged between a man and his neighbour, and made known the statutes of God, and His laws.'

⁵ `See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah my God hath commanded me—to do so, in the midst of the land whither ye are going in to possess it; ⁶ and ye have kept and done them (for it is your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and understanding is this great nation.

¹¹ `And it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye bring in all that which I am commanding you, your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which ye vow to Jehovah; ¹² and ye have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who is within your gates, for he hath no part and inheritance with you.

¹¹ And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,

¹⁴ and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates.

¹² And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them.

¹³ `And on mount Sinai Thou hast come down, even to speak with them from the heavens, and Thou dost give to them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commands.

⁶ Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

⁸ To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law is within my heart.

⁴⁵ That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!

¹² Blessed art Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.

¹⁶ In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.

⁴⁰ Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,

⁵⁴ Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.

⁸⁰ My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.

⁹² Unless Thy law were my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.

¹²¹ Ain. I have done judgment and righteousness, Leave me not to mine oppressors.

¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

¹⁴³ Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands are my delights.

¹⁷¹ My lips do utter praise, For Thou dost teach me Thy statutes.

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

²³ For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,

⁵ Every saying of God is tried, A shield He is to those trusting in Him.

⁵ Thou hast met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Thy ways they remember Thee, Lo, Thou hast been wroth when we sin, By them is continuance, and we are saved.

¹⁶ Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

¹⁷ Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God, ¹⁸ and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law, ¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.

²⁰ wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

⁷ What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

¹² so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good. ¹³ That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
¹⁴ for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

¹⁹ for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

¹⁰ for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law—to do them,' <sup>11</sup> and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;' ¹² and the law is not by faith, but—`The man who did them shall live in them.' <sup>13</sup> Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

²¹ the law, then, is against the promises of God? —let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

¹² and He saith, `Put not forth thine hand unto the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me.'

¹⁸ And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear!

¹ `And these are the judgments which thou dost set before them:

⁸ and which is the great nation which hath righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you to-day?

²⁴ only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;

³ and Ahab calleth unto Obadiah, who is over the house—and Obadiah hath been fearing Jehovah greatly, ⁴ and it cometh to pass, in Jezebel's cutting off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah taketh a hundred prophets, and hideth them, fifty men in a cave, and hath sustained them with bread and water—

¹² and it hath been, I go from thee, and the Spirit of Jehovah doth lift thee up, whither I know not, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he doth not find thee, and he hath slain me; and thy servant is fearing Jehovah from my youth.

¹⁵ the former governors who are before me have made themselves heavy on the people, and take of them in bread and wine, besides in silver forty shekels; also, their servants have ruled over the people—and I have not done so, because of the fear of God.

⁵ Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries—he puffeth at them.

¹¹ Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you. ¹² Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good? ¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit. ¹⁴ Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

¹ To the Overseer. —By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

⁶ Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

¹ By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.
² He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.

¹⁰ The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!

¹³ He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

¹ Aleph. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,

⁷ I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.

³⁹ Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments are good.

⁶² At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.

⁷⁵ I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous are Thy judgments, And in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and I confirm it, To keep the judgments of Thy righteousness.

¹³⁷ Tzade. Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, And upright are Thy judgments. ¹³⁸ Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,

¹⁴² Thy righteousness is righteousness to the age, And Thy law is truth.

¹⁹ Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

⁸ Also, in the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance Is the desire of the soul.

²² And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.'

² and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.

¹⁰ according as it hath been written—`There is none righteous, not even one; ¹¹ There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God. ¹² All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. ¹³ A sepulchre opened is their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. ¹⁵ Swift are their feet to shed blood. ¹⁶ Ruin and misery are in their ways. ¹⁷ And a way of peace they did not know. ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.'

²² Lo, then, goodness and severity of God—upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.

³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints,

⁷ and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.'

² because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;'

²⁶ and the people come in unto the forest, and lo, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand unto his mouth, for the people feared the oath. ²⁷ And Jonathan hath not heard of his father's adjuring the people, and putteth forth the end of the rod, which is in his hand, and dippeth it in the honeycomb, and bringeth back his hand unto his mouth—and his eyes see! ²⁸ And a man of the people answereth and saith, `Thy father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed is the man who eateth food to-day; and the people are weary.' <sup>29</sup> And Jonathan saith, `My father hath troubled the land; see, I pray you, that mine eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.

¹⁵ Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed—its price. ¹⁶ It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire, ¹⁷ Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor is its exchange a vessel of fine gold.

⁵ As with milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And with singing lips doth my mouth praise.

¹⁰³ How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold—even fine gold.

¹³ O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding. ¹⁴ For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold—her increase. ¹⁵ Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.

¹⁰ Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold. ¹¹ For better is wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.

¹⁹ Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

¹⁶ To get wisdom—how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

¹³ Eat my son, honey that is good, And the honeycomb—sweet to thy palate.

¹⁰ and any strife that cometh in unto you of your brethren who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and command, statutes, and judgments, then ye have warned them and they become not guilty before Jehovah, and wrath hath not been on you and on your brethren; thus do ye do, and ye are not guilty.

¹¹ In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.

¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, In her left are wealth and honour. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy.

²² In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked—it talketh with thee. ²³ For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,

¹⁸ The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing righteousness—a true reward.

¹⁸ Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, that it is good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked—evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

¹⁷ that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them from Me. <sup>18</sup> In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he—the wicked—in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require. <sup>19</sup> And thou, because thou hast warned the wicked, and he hath not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he in his iniquity dieth, and thou thy soul hast delivered. <sup>20</sup> `And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he hath done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dieth; because thou hast not warned him, in his sin he dieth, and not remembered is his righteousness that he hath done, and his blood from thy hand I require. ²¹ And thou, because thou hast warned him—the righteous—that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast delivered.'

³ And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people, ⁴ And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head. ⁵ The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered. ⁶ And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them—a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require. ⁷ And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me. ⁸ In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require. ⁹ And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.

⁷ And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, `Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?

⁴ that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

⁶ `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

¹⁸ that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

³¹ `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

¹⁴ Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law—that of liberty, and did continue there, this one—not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work—this one shall be happy in his doing.

⁸ See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive;

¹³ And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours—and their works do follow them!'

² `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, When a person doth sin through ignorance against any of the commands of Jehovah regarding things which are not to be done, and hath done something against one of these— <sup>3</sup> `If the priest who is anointed doth sin according to the guilt of the people, then he hath brought near for his sin which he hath sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, to Jehovah, for a sin-offering, ⁴ and he hath brought in the bullock unto the opening of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, and hath laid his hand on the head of the bullock, and hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. ⁵ `And the priest who is anointed hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath brought it in unto the tent of meeting, <sup>6</sup> and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and sprinkled of the blood seven times before Jehovah, at the front of the vail of the sanctuary; <sup>7</sup> and the priest hath put of the blood on the horns of the altar of spice-perfume before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood of the bullock he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the opening of the tent of meeting. <sup>8</sup> `And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he doth lift up from it, the fat which is covering over the inwards, and all the fat which is on the inwards, ⁹ and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), ¹⁰ as it is lifted up from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar of the burnt-offering. ¹¹ `And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, besides its head, and besides its legs, and its inwards, and its dung— <sup>12</sup> he hath even brought out the whole bullock unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place, unto the place of the pouring out of the ashes, and he hath burnt it on the wood with fire; beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes it is burnt.
<sup>13</sup> `And if the whole company of Israel err ignorantly, and the thing hath been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against one of all the commands of Jehovah concerning things which are not to be done, and have been guilty; ¹⁴ when the sin which they have sinned concerning it hath been known, then have the assembly brought near a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and they have brought it in before the tent of meeting; ¹⁵ and the elders of the company have laid their hands on the head of the bullock, before Jehovah, and one hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. ¹⁶ `And the priest who is anointed hath brought in of the blood of the bullock unto the tent of meeting, <sup>17</sup> and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and hath sprinkled seven times before Jehovah at the front of the vail, <sup>18</sup> and some of the blood he doth put on the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is at the opening of the tent of meeting; <sup>19</sup> and all its fat he doth lift up from it, and hath made perfume on the altar. <sup>20</sup> `And he hath done to the bullock as he hath done to the bullock of the sin-offering, so he doth to it; and the priest hath made atonement for them, and it hath been forgiven them; ²¹ and he hath brought out the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and hath burned it as he hath burned the first bullock; it is a sin-offering of the assembly.
²² `When a prince doth sin, and hath done something against one of all the commands of Jehovah his God regarding things which are not to be done, through ignorance, and hath been guilty— <sup>23</sup> or his sin wherein he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a male, a perfect one, <sup>24</sup> and he hath laid his hand on the head of the goat, and hath slaughtered it in the place where he doth slaughter the burnt-offering before Jehovah; it is a sin-offering. <sup>25</sup> `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, ²⁶ and with all its fat he doth make perfume on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made atonement for him because of his sin, and it hath been forgiven him.
²⁷ `And if any person of the people of the land sin through ignorance, by his doing something against one of the commands of Jehovah regarding things which are not to be done, and hath been guilty— <sup>28</sup> or his sin which he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he hath sinned, <sup>29</sup> and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered the sin-offering in the place of the burnt-offering. <sup>30</sup> `And the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar, ³¹ and all its fat he doth turn aside, as the fat hath been turned aside from off the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made perfume on the altar, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah; and the priest hath made atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him. ³² `And if he bring in a sheep for his offering, for a sin-offering, a female, a perfect one, he doth bring in, <sup>33</sup> and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered it for a sin-offering in the place where he slaughtereth the burnt-offering. <sup>34</sup> `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he poureth out at the foundation of the altar, ³⁵ and all its fat he turneth aside, as the fat of the sheep is turned aside from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him.

²⁴ Shew me, and I—I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand.

¹² For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

² Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,

⁵ Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me. ⁶ Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
⁷ Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter. ⁸ Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised. ⁹ Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out. ¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

³ Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions—Thou dost cover them.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

⁶ Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts, ²⁴ And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!

⁶ And we are as unclean—all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.

⁹ Crooked is the heart above all things, And it is incurable—who doth know it?

⁴ for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right—and he who is discerning me is the Lord:

⁷ and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light—we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;

⁶ And God saith unto him in the dream, `Yea, I—I have known that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I withhold thee, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not suffered thee to come against her;

¹⁴ `And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.

³⁰ `And the person who doth aught with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—Jehovah he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people; ³¹ because the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken—that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity is on him.'

¹² And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel, ¹³ and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.

³² And David saith to Abigail, `Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me, ³³ and blessed is thy discretion, and blessed art thou in that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself. ³⁴ And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.'

³⁹ and David heareth that Nabal is dead, and saith, `Blessed is Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.

¹³ And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit—to inquire, — ¹⁴ and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.

¹⁰ My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

⁷ For righteous is Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

²³ And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

¹¹ For a sun and a shield is Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

¹³³ My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth not rule over me.

¹⁶ and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

¹² Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; ¹³ neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God; ¹⁴ for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁶ have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? ¹⁷ and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up; ¹⁸ and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness. ¹⁹ In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness—to sanctification, ²⁰ for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness, ²¹ what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death. ²² And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

¹⁰ and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,

⁴ and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present, ⁵ and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.

²⁵ That—I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise.

¹ To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' —A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation. ² Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

¹ To the Overseer. —By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: —I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength. ² Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

¹⁵ O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.

¹⁸ Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear. ¹⁹ But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Blessed is God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!

³⁴ Sweet is my meditation on Him, I—I do rejoice in Jehovah.

¹⁰⁸ Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.

¹⁴ Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: `For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song is in the ships.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I am the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

⁴ Our redeemer is Jehovah of Hosts, His name is the Holy One of Israel.

⁵ For thy Maker is thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, And thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, `God of all the earth,' He is called.

¹⁶ for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

⁴ by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

¹⁵ through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

¹⁸ having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered by fathers, ¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ's—

⁵ and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
