Psalms 90 Cross References - YLT

¹ A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou—Thou hast been, To us—in generation and generation, ² Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou art God. ³ Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men. ⁴ For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night. ⁵ Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth. ⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled. ⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face, ⁹ For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation. ¹⁰ Days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet is their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away. ¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear—Thy wrath?
¹² To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom. ¹³ Turn back, O Jehovah, till when?

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ² `Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the tribe of his fathers ye do send, every one a prince among them.' ³ And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them are men, heads of the sons of Israel they are, ⁴ and these their names: For the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur. ⁵ For the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori. ⁶ For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh. ⁷ For the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph. ⁸ For the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea, son of Nun. ⁹ For the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu. ¹⁰ For the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi. ¹¹ For the tribe of Joseph, (for the tribe of Manasseh,) Gaddi son of Susi. ¹² For the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli. ¹³ For the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael. ¹⁴ For the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi.

¹ In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth—

⁷ The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself—unto His heart. ⁷ And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'

²⁰ As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth; ¹⁶ For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

⁷ And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her. ⁸ And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty is his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.

⁶ A voice is saying, `Call,' And he said, `What do I call?' All flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is As a flower of the field:

¹⁰ and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away; ¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

²⁴ because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

² As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.

⁷ When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity—For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

³⁰ `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe—not much more you, O ye of little faith?

¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

¹² And the sons of Israel speak unto Moses, saying, `Lo, we have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished; ¹³ any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed—to expire?'

¹⁴ `And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, are thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them; <sup>15</sup> and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed. <sup>16</sup> `And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,

⁹ For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear—Thy wrath?

⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

¹⁰ wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways; ¹¹ so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest—!')

¹⁷ but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

²¹ For His eyes are on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.

¹¹ He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

¹² Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me innocent,

²¹ These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.

¹⁶ Burnt with fire—cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest. ² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. ³ My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted. ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

²¹ For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.

¹⁴ For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'

¹³ And Jehovah saith: Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not hearkened to My voice nor walked in it, ¹⁴ And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Baalim, that their fathers taught them, ¹⁵ Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing them—this people—to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall, ¹⁶ And I have scattered them among nations Which they knew not, they and their fathers, And have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them.

¹⁷ For Mine eyes are upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.

²⁴ Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹² And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'

¹ At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; ² and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

¹² for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart; ¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

¹² and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls—according to their works;

³³ And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.

⁹ And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, `The days of the years of my sojournings are an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'

⁷ And Moses is a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.

³⁵ A son of eighty years I am to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?

¹ And king David is old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,

¹⁰ And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where is he?

²⁴ High they were for a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all others they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.

³⁹ And He remembereth that they are flesh, A wind going on—and it returneth not.

² While that the sun is not darkened, and the light, And the moon, and the stars, And the thick clouds returned after the rain. ³ In the day that keepers of the house tremble, And men of strength have bowed themselves, And grinders have ceased, because they have become few. And those looking out at the windows have become dim, ⁴ And doors have been shut in the street. When the noise of the grinding is low, And one riseth at the voice of the bird, And all daughters of song are bowed down. ⁵ Also of that which is high they are afraid, And of the low places in the way, And the almond-tree is despised, And the grasshopper is become a burden, And want is increased, For man is going unto his home age-during, And the mourners have gone round through the street. ⁶ While that the silver cord is not removed, And the golden bowl broken, And the pitcher broken by the fountain, And the wheel broken at the well. ⁷ And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the spirit returneth to God who gave it.

¹² My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life, By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare—to whom shall they be?

¹⁴ who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

¹⁸ `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, —then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

²¹ `And if ye walk with Me in opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,

²⁴ then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

²⁸ then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

⁵⁹ then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed—great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast.

²⁰ Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens, ²¹ and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law. ²² `And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, — <sup>23</sup> (with brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) — <sup>24</sup> yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? <sup>25</sup> `And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them—gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them; ²⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book, ²⁸ and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as at this day. ²⁹ `The things hidden are to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed are to us and to our sons—to the age, to do all the words of this law.

⁷ Thou, fearful art Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

¹⁴ Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us—consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us—burnings of the age?

⁶ Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.

⁵ but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him.

¹¹ having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

²⁹ If they were wise—They deal wisely with this; They attend to their latter end:

²⁸ And He saith to man: —`Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'

⁴ `Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days—what it is,' I know how frail I am .

² To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding, ³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice, ⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, ⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest. ⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

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. 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.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.

⁷ The first thing is wisdom—get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.

¹ My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee. ² Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine eye. ³ Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy heart. ⁴ Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou art .' And cry to understanding, `Kinswoman!'

³² And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways. ³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not. ³⁴ O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance. ³⁵ For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah. ³⁶ And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!

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

¹ For an object of desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.
² A fool delighteth not in understanding, But—in uncovering his heart.

¹⁷ Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,

¹² Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to sayings of knowledge.

²³ Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

¹⁰ All that thy hand findeth to do, with thy power do, for there is no work, and device, and knowledge, and wisdom in Sheol whither thou art going.

³⁵ `Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning, <sup>36</sup> and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. <sup>37</sup> `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them; ³⁸ and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find it so, happy are those servants. ³⁹ `And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through; ⁴⁰ and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.'

⁴ it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil; ¹⁷ because of this become not fools, but—understanding what is the will of the Lord,

¹² why do the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil He brought them out to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? turn back from the heat of Thine anger, and repent of the evil against Thy people.

¹⁴ and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.

³⁶ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth—the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.

³ And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when? ⁴ Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

¹⁰ Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

¹⁴ God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

⁴⁶ Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

⁴⁵ And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

¹⁴ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

¹⁵ And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.

⁸ How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful is He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil. ¹⁴ Who knoweth—He doth turn back, Yea—He hath repented, And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation of Jehovah your God?

³ Jehovah hath repented of this, `It shall not be,' said Jehovah.

⁶ Jehovah hath repented of this, `It also shall not be,' said the Lord Jehovah.

⁹ Who knoweth? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.'

¹⁶ Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.

⁶ Only—goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

⁷ I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

⁷ How precious is Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. ⁸ They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

³ Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee. ⁴ So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands. ⁵ As with milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And with singing lips doth my mouth praise.

⁴ O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

⁶ Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

³ Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all thy diseases, ⁴ Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee—kindness and mercies, ⁵ Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an eagle doth thy youth.

² Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

¹⁵ Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.

¹⁷ For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins—make fruitful!

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

⁵ For—a moment is in His anger, Life is in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁵ Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap, ⁶ Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!

¹ And thou hast said in that day: `I thank thee, O Jehovah, Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine anger, And Thou dost comfort me.

¹ Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God. ² Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her punishment, That she hath received from the hand of Jehovah Double for all her sins.

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah—to be beautified.'

¹⁸ But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I am Creator, For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy. ¹⁹ And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping, and the voice of crying.

¹² And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more. ¹³ Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men—together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,

⁴ `Happy the mourning—because they shall be comforted.

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

¹⁴ and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb; ¹⁵ because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them; ¹⁶ they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat, ¹⁷ because the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.'

¹⁵ `And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying, <sup>16</sup> From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them—He doth slaughter them in the wilderness. <sup>17</sup> `And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying: ¹⁸ Jehovah is slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third generation, and on a fourth; — ¹⁹ forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'
²⁰ And Jehovah saith, `I have forgiven, according to thy word; ²¹ and yet, I live—and it is filled—the whole earth—with the honour of Jehovah; ²² for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice— ²³ they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it; ²⁴ and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

³⁰ ye—ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun. ³¹ `As to your infants—of whom ye have said, A spoil they are become—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which ye have kicked against;

³⁹ `And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;

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

²² then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan; ²³ because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our passing over; ²⁴ so that all the people of the land do know the hand of Jehovah that it is strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah your God all the days.'

¹⁴ `And lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing.

¹ To the Overseer. —By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.

¹² And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

⁴ For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

² O Jehovah, I heard thy report, I have been afraid, O Jehovah, Thy work! in midst of years revive it, In the midst of years Thou makest known In anger Thou dost remember mercy.

²⁸ And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.

⁴ One thing I asked of Jehovah—it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

² From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.

²⁸ Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God, this Thou hast wrought for us.

³ O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

⁷ God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

³ Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

²⁵ I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.

³ Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy purposes,

¹² O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.

⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

¹⁸ and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

¹⁶ and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;
