¹⁹ Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land. ²⁰ Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.

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.

² to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours:

⁴⁷ Jehovah liveth, and blessed is my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.

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.

⁵ O Jehovah, in the heavens is Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness is unto the clouds. ⁶ Thy righteousness is as mountains of God, Thy judgments are a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

⁶ And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.

⁴ Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah.

² For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'

⁵ and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones.

³ He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they—they transgressed against Me.

³ And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy, Holy, Holy, is Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth is His glory.'

⁵ And revealed hath been the honour of Jehovah, And seen it have all flesh together, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

⁶ So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I am Jehovah, and there is none else,

² For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen. ³ And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising.

¹⁸ And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.

¹⁴ For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover the bottom of a sea.

⁹ thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who art in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.

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;'

⁴ `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth.

²⁰ `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces are one towards another—towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

¹ `Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I am Jehovah your God.

⁸ `Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude which is in the heavens above, and which is in the earth beneath, and which is in the waters under the earth;

¹⁵ `Cursed is the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put it in a secret place, —and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

¹³ The wings of these cherubs are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces are inward.

¹⁸ `Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land, ¹⁹ so as to put their gods into fire—for they are no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone—and they destroy them.

²⁹ `Lo, all of them are vanity, Nought are their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!'

¹⁷ Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye are our gods.'

⁹ Framers of a graven image are all of them emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And their own witnesses they are, They see not, nor know, that they may be ashamed. ¹⁰ Who hath formed a god, And a molten image poured out—not profitable? ¹¹ Lo, all his companions are ashamed, As to artisans—they are of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They fear, they are ashamed together.

¹⁴ Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false is his molten image. And there is no breath in them.

⁶ and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him—all messengers of God;'

¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders—and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands— ¹² saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!' <sup>13</sup> and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might—to the ages of the ages!' ¹⁴ and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.

⁸ And another messenger did follow, saying, `Fall, fall, did Babylon, the great city, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she hath given to all nations to drink.' <sup>9</sup> And a third messenger did follow them, saying in a great voice, `If any one the beast doth bow before, and his image, and doth receive a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand, ¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that hath been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers, and before the Lamb,

¹¹ Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments.

⁶ And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

¹⁰ The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.

³ For Jehovah hath comforted Zion, He hath comforted all her wastes, And He setteth her wilderness as Eden, And her desert as a garden of Jehovah, Joy, yea, gladness is found in her, Confession, and the voice of song.

⁷ How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, `Reigned hath thy God.' ⁸ The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah's turning back to Zion. ⁹ Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.

¹¹ Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: `Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,' Lo, his hire is with him, and his wage before him.

¹⁴ Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, is in thy midst, Thou seest evil no more. ¹⁶ In that day it is said to Jerusalem, `Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble. ¹⁷ Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'

⁹ Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous—and saved is He, Afflicted—and riding on an ass, And on a colt—a son of she-asses.

⁴ And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, ⁵ `Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.' <sup>6</sup> And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them, <sup>7</sup> brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set him upon them; <sup>8</sup> and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way, <sup>9</sup> and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'

²⁰ `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

¹ And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, is to the Lord our God; <sup>2</sup> 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;' <sup>3</sup> and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up—to the ages of the ages! ⁴ And fall down did the elders—the twenty and four—and the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is sitting upon the throne, saying, `Amen, Alleluia.'
<sup>5</sup> And a voice out of the throne did come forth, saying, `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great;' ⁶ and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God—the Almighty! ⁷ may we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him, because come did the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife did make herself ready;

¹¹ now I have known that Jehovah is greater than all the gods, for in the thing they have acted proudly—He is above them!'

³ For a great God is Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.

⁴ For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He is over all gods.

³ And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done. ⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, work of man's hands, ⁵ A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, ⁶ Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not, ⁷ Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not; ⁸ Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

⁵ For I have known that great is Jehovah, Yea, our Lord is above all gods.

⁸ And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities is the tree itself.

²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

²³ Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.

¹⁴ Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

⁴ Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

²⁷ Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age. ²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous is from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity. ⁴⁰ And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

³ I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

¹⁰⁴ From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!

¹⁶³ Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate it, Thy law I have loved.

³ For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

²⁰ Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the wicked He destroyeth.

⁸ To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.

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

¹⁷ Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!

²¹ And I have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible!

²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and hath said, `Blessed is the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who hath sent His messenger, and hath delivered His servants who trusted on Him, and the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor do obeisance to any god except to their own God.

²² my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'

²⁷ A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth is He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.'

¹⁵ Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate, It may be Jehovah, God of Hosts, doth pity the remnant of Joseph.

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;' <sup>29</sup> Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.' ³⁰ Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

¹⁵ for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

²⁴ A wretched man I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

²⁸ And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren; ³⁰ and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

³ and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.

⁸ and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence, ⁹ him, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, ¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, ¹² that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

² and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith is not of all;

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

¹⁹ we—we love him, because He—He first loved us;

² in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep; ³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

¹⁸ We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him;

⁸ And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;

¹⁶ to the Jews hath been light, and gladness, and joy, and honour,

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

²⁸ For Thou—Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

⁴ Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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!

¹⁸ And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

¹ Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee. ² For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen.

¹ For Zion's sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that burneth.

⁹ The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I look on His righteousness.

⁴⁶ I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me—in the darkness may not remain;

⁸ because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain—early and latter; ⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh; ⁹ murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood. ¹⁰ An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord; ¹¹ lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.

²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb;

⁵ and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign—to the ages of the ages.

⁴ Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

¹¹ Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!

⁶ God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult—I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

¹² Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And, O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it. ¹³ Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he,

¹⁷ Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls. ¹⁸ Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.

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

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
