¹ To the Overseer. —By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' —A song. God is to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely. ² Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas. ³ Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. Selah. ⁴ A river—its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. ⁵ God is in her midst—she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
⁶ Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth. ⁷ Jehovah of Hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob. Selah. ⁸ Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth, ⁹ Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire. ¹⁰ Desist, and know that I am God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth. ¹¹ Jehovah of hosts is with us, A tower for us is the God of Jacob! Selah.

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name,

¹ If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; ² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; ³ and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.
⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, ⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; ⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.
⁸ The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; ⁹ for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; ¹⁰ and when that which is perfect may come, then that which is in part shall become useless. ¹¹ When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; ¹² for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; ¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love—these three; and the greatest of these is love.

¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness,

¹ Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept—called, ² kindness to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied!
³ Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints, ⁴ for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord—Jesus Christ—denying, ⁵ and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy; ⁶ messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness He hath kept, ⁷ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before—an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering.
⁸ In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of, ⁹ yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, `The Lord rebuke thee!' <sup>10</sup> and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted; <sup>11</sup> woe to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the gainsaying of Korah they did perish. <sup>12</sup> These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up; <sup>13</sup> wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept. <sup>14</sup> And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam—Enoch—saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads,
¹⁵ to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.' ¹⁶ These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit; ¹⁷ and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: ¹⁸ that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on, ¹⁹ these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having. ²⁰ And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying, ²¹ yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ—to life age-during; ²² and to some be kind, judging thoroughly, ²³ and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted. ²⁴ And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness, ²⁵ to the only wise God our Saviour, is glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen.

³⁴ `And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,

⁶ be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually, ² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,' ³ For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence. ⁴ With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth. ⁵ Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day, ⁶ Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon, ⁷ There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh. ⁸ But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
⁹ (For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation. ¹⁰ Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent, ¹¹ For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways, ¹² On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot. ¹³ On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon. ¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he hath known My name. ¹⁵ He doth call Me, and I answer him, I am with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him. ¹⁶ With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack, ² In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me. ³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake, ⁴ Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff—they comfort me. ⁵ Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full! 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!

¹⁰ And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age are vanity!

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing is true, and the warfare is great: and he hath understood the thing, and hath understanding about the appearance. ² `In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days; <sup>3</sup> desirable bread I have not eaten, and flesh and wine hath not come in unto my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, till the completion of three weeks of days. <sup>4</sup> `And in the twenty and fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that is Hiddekel: ⁵ and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz, ⁶ and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude. ⁷ `And I have seen—I, Daniel, by myself—the appearance: and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance, but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden; <sup>8</sup> and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power. <sup>9</sup> `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face is to the earth;
¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands. ¹¹ `And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. `And when he speaketh with me this word, I have stood trembling. ¹² And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words. ¹³ `And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia; <sup>14</sup> and I have come to cause thee to understand that which doth happen to thy people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision is after days. <sup>15</sup> `And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent; ¹⁶ and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power. ¹⁷ And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been left in me. ¹⁸ `And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me, ¹⁹ and he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for thou hast strengthened me. ²⁰ And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee? and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath come; ²¹ but I declare to thee that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.

²⁵ Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word maketh him glad.

⁶ for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;
