what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:

that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.


book: 2Chr

If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near;


book: 2Chr

book: 2Chr

Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat.

book: 2Chr

book: 2Chr

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.


book: 2Chr

And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.


book: 2Chr

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house.


book: 2Chr

And it was so, that, as oft as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.


book: 2Chr

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.


book: 2Chr

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.


book: 2Chr

book: 2Chr

And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other  lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are  no gods.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the showbread also set they  in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died.


book: 2Chr

But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,


book: 2Chr
contenido:
and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.


book: 2Chr
contenido:
For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.


book: 2Chr

book: Ezra

we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.


book: Neh

Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples:


book: Neh

but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.

And the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid.


book: Neh

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.

Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;


book: Neh

and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.


book: Neh

So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof: for the people had a mind to work.


book: Neh

But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;

Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set there the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.


book: Neh

And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.


book: Neh
contenido:
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.


book: Neh
contenido:
And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.


book: Neh
contenido:
They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;


book: Neh
contenido:
and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:


book: Neh
contenido:
in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us.


book: Neh
contenido:
So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.


book: Neh
contenido:
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.


book: Neh
contenido:
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one went with  his weapon to the water.


book: Neh

For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live.


book: Neh

Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth.


book: Neh
contenido:
There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.


book: Neh
contenido:
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I held a great assembly against them.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?


book: Neh
contenido:
And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and grain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury.


book: Neh
contenido:
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.


book: Neh
contenido:
Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.


book: Neh
contenido:
But the former governors that were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.


book: Neh
contenido:
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.


book: Neh
contenido:
Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us.


book: Neh
contenido:
Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.


book: Neh
contenido:
Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),


book: Neh
contenido:
that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?


book: Neh
contenido:
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,


book: Neh
contenido:
wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words.


book: Neh
contenido:
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.


book: Neh
contenido:
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.


book: Neh
contenido:
For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.


book: Neh
contenido:
And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.


book: Neh
contenido:
For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.


book: Neh
contenido:
Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

book: Neh

And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.

that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,


book: Esth

in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;


book: Esth

when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and fourscore days.


book: Esth

And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.


book: Esth

There were hangings of white cloth, of  green, and of blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and white, and yellow, and black marble.


book: Esth
contenido:
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.


book: Esth

And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.


book: Esth

Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,


book: Esth
contenido:
to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on.


book: Esth
contenido:
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.


book: Esth

Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment;


book: Esth
contenido:
and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom),


book: Esth
contenido:
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?


book: Esth
contenido:
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.


book: Esth
contenido:
And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king’s princes. So will there arise much contempt and wrath.


book: Esth
contenido:
If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.


book: Esth

for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.


book: Esth
contenido:
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.


book: Esth
contenido:
There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,


book: Esth
contenido:
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.


book: Esth
contenido:
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.


book: Esth
contenido:
So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king’s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),


book: Esth
contenido:
then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.


book: Esth
contenido:
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate.


book: Esth
contenido:
Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.


book: Esth
contenido:
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai’s name.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?


book: Esth
contenido:
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.


book: Esth
contenido:
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.


book: Esth
contenido:
But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.


book: Esth
contenido:
In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.


book: Esth
contenido:
If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then were the king’s scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.


book: Esth
contenido:
And letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.


book: Esth
contenido:
A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.


book: Esth
contenido:
The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;


book: Esth
contenido:
and he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.


book: Esth
contenido:
And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Esther’s maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he received it not.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king’s gate.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.


book: Esth
contenido:
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.


book: Esth
contenido:
All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father’s house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?


book: Esth
contenido:
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.


book: Esth
contenido:
Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.


book: Esth
contenido:
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.


book: Esth
contenido:
if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.


book: Esth
contenido:
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.


book: Esth
contenido:
On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.


book: Esth
contenido:
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?


book: Esth
contenido:
let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:


book: Esth
contenido:
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.


book: Esth
contenido:
While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:


book: Esth
contenido:
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?


book: Esth
contenido:
And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went  into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.


book: Esth

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.


book: Esth

On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.


book: Esth

And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.


book: Esth

And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king’s provinces:


book: Esth
contenido:
for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?


book: Esth
contenido:
Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.


book: Esth
contenido:
Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then were the king’s scribes called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.


book: Esth

And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service, bred of the stud:


book: Esth
contenido:
wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,


book: Esth

upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.


book: Esth

A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.


book: Esth

So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king’s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.


book: Esth

And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.


book: Esth

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.


book: Esth

Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them),

the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.


book: Esth
contenido:
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.


book: Esth
contenido:
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.


book: Esth
contenido:
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.


book: Esth
contenido:
And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.


book: Esth
contenido:
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.


book: Esth
contenido:
But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.


book: Esth
contenido:
Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.


book: Esth
contenido:
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,


book: Esth
contenido:
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,


book: Esth
contenido:
as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.


book: Esth
contenido:
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;


book: Esth
contenido:
but when the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.


book: Esth
contenido:
Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,


book: Esth
contenido:
the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;


book: Esth
contenido:
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the remembrance of them perish from their seed.


book: Esth
contenido:
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.


book: Esth
contenido:
And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,


book: Esth
contenido:
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.


book: Esth
contenido:
And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?


book: Esth
contenido:
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.


book: Job
contenido:
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil.


book: Job
contenido:
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.


book: Job
contenido:
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.


book: Job
contenido:
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.


book: Job
contenido:
Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.


book: Job
contenido:
Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.


book: Job
contenido:
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,


book: Job
contenido:
that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;


book: Job
contenido:
and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job
contenido:
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job
contenido:
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job
contenido:
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house;


book: Job
contenido:
and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.


book: Job
contenido:
Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;


book: Job
contenido:
and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.


book: Job
contenido:
Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.


book: Job
contenido:
And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.


book: Job
contenido:
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.


book: Job
contenido:
So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.


book: Job
contenido:
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.


book: Job
contenido:
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.


book: Job
contenido:
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.


book: Job
contenido:
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.


book: Job
contenido:
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own;
Let a cloud dwell upon it;
Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.


book: Job
contenido:
As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it:
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
Let it not come into the number of the months.


book: Job
contenido:
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark:
Let it look for light, but have none;
Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:


book: Job
contenido:
If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
But who can withhold himself from speaking?


book: Job
contenido:
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions, are broken.


book: Job
contenido:
It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof;
A form was before mine eyes:
There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,


book: Job
contenido:
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before the moth!


book: Job
contenido:
His children are far from safety,
And they are crushed in the gate,
Neither is there any to deliver them:


book: Job
contenido:
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up,
And taketh it even out of the thorns;
And the snare gapeth for their substance.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.


book: Job
contenido:
At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;
Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.


book: Job
contenido:
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace;
And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.


book: Job
contenido:
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,
The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up:
The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.


book: Job
contenido:
And be it still my consolation,
Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not,
That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.


book: Job
contenido:
To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend;
Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.


book: Job
contenido:
When I lie down, I say,
When shall I arise, and the night be gone?
And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.


book: Job
contenido:
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more;
Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.


book: Job
contenido:
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men?
Why hast thou set me as a mark for thee,
So that I am a burden to myself?


book: Job
contenido:
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?
For now shall I lie down in the dust;
And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be.


book: Job
contenido:
How long wilt thou speak these things?
And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like  a mighty wind?


book: Job
contenido:
If thy children have sinned against him,
And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;


book: Job
contenido:
If thou wert pure and upright:
Surely now he would awake for thee,
And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.


book: Job
contenido:
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age,
And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out


book: Job
contenido:
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:
He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.


book: Job
contenido:
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.


book: Job
contenido:
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
He covereth the faces of the judges thereof:
If it be not he, who then is it?


book: Job
contenido:
My soul is weary of my life;
I will give free course to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.


book: Job
contenido:
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,
That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands,
And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?


book: Job
contenido:
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay;
And wilt thou bring me into dust again?


book: Job
contenido:
If I be wicked, woe unto me;
And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head;
Being filled with ignominy,
And looking upon mine affliction.


book: Job
contenido:
And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion;
And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,
And increasest thine indignation upon me:
Changes and warfare are with me.


book: Job
contenido:
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.


book: Job
contenido:
The land dark as midnight,
The land of the shadow of death, without any order,
And where the light is as midnight.


book: Job
contenido:
Should thy boastings make men hold their peace?
And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?


book: Job
contenido:
And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom!
For he is manifold in understanding.
Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.


book: Job
contenido:
Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;
Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:


book: Job
contenido:
And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday;
Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.


book: Job
contenido:
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
And they shall have no way to flee;
And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.


book: Job
contenido:
But I have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you:
Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?


book: Job
contenido:
I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor,
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.


book: Job
contenido:
In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.


book: Job
contenido:
The tents of robbers prosper,
And they that provoke God are secure;
Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.


book: Job
contenido:
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again;
He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up;
Again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.


book: Job
contenido:
He increaseth the nations, and he destroyeth them:
He enlargeth the nations, and he leadeth them captive.


book: Job
contenido:
He taketh away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks,
And markest all my paths;
Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:


book: Job
contenido:
Seeing his days are determined,
The number of his months is with thee,
And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;


book: Job
contenido:
For there is hope of a tree,
If it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.


book: Job
contenido:
So man lieth down and riseth not:
Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,
Nor be roused out of their sleep.


book: Job
contenido:
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol,
That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past,
That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!


book: Job
contenido:
If a man die, shall he live again?
All the days of my warfare would I wait,
Till my release should come.


book: Job
contenido:
The waters wear the stones;
The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth:
So thou destroyest the hope of man.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth;
Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.


book: Job
contenido:
His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not;
And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.


book: Job
contenido:
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,
Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.


book: Job
contenido:
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?
He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.


book: Job
contenido:
Because he hath stretched out his hand against God,
And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;


book: Job
contenido:
And he hath dwelt in desolate cities,
In houses which no man inhabited,
Which were ready to become heaps;


book: Job
contenido:
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.


book: Job
contenido:
He shall not depart out of darkness;
The flame shall dry up his branches,
And by the breath of God’s mouth shall he go away.


book: Job
contenido:
I also could speak as ye do;
If your soul were in my soul’s stead,
I could join words together against you,
And shake my head at you.


book: Job
contenido:
And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me:
And my leanness riseth up against me,
It testifieth to my face.


book: Job
contenido:
He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me;
He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth:
Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.


book: Job
contenido:
They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully:
They gather themselves together against me.


book: Job
contenido:
I was at ease, and he brake me asunder;
Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces:
He hath also set me up for his mark.


book: Job
contenido:
His archers compass me round about;
He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare;
He poureth out my gall upon the ground.


book: Job
contenido:
Upright men shall be astonished at this,
And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.


book: Job
contenido:
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way,
And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for thee?
Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?


book: Job
contenido:
He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth;
And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.


book: Job
contenido:
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his:
Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.


book: Job
contenido:
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,
And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.


book: Job
contenido:
Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side,
And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
My heart is consumed within me.


book: Job
contenido:
Be ye afraid of the sword:
For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword,
That ye may know there is a judgment.


book: Job
contenido:
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame;
And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.


book: Job
contenido:
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:
Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.


book: Job
contenido:
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again;
God will cast them out of his belly.


book: Job
contenido:
That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down;
According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.


book: Job
contenido:
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor;
He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.


book: Job
contenido:
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.


book: Job
contenido:
When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him,
And will rain it upon him while he is eating.


book: Job
contenido:
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body;
Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall:
Terrors are upon him.


book: Job
contenido:
All darkness is laid up for his treasures:
A fire not blown by man shall devour him;
It shall consume that which is left in his tent.


book: Job
contenido:
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?


book: Job
contenido:
How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity cometh upon them?
That God distributeth sorrows in his anger?


book: Job
contenido:
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children.
Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:


book: Job
contenido:
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,
And all men shall draw after him,
As there were innumerable before him.


book: Job
contenido:
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?


book: Job
contenido:
Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off,
And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.


book: Job
contenido:
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee;
And light shall shine upon thy ways.


book: Job
contenido:
He will deliver even him that is not innocent:
Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.


book: Job
contenido:
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;
He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.


book: Job
contenido:
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.


book: Job
contenido:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, as wild asses in the desert
They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food;
The wilderness yieldeth them bread for their children.


book: Job
contenido:
From out of the populous city men groan,
And the soul of the wounded crieth out:
Yet God regardeth not the folly.


book: Job
contenido:
These are of them that rebel against the light;
They know not the ways thereof,
Nor abide in the paths thereof.


book: Job
contenido:
The murderer riseth with the light;
He killeth the poor and needy;
And in the night he is as a thief.


book: Job
contenido:
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
Saying, No eye shall see me:
And he disguiseth his face.


book: Job
contenido:
In the dark they dig through houses:
They shut themselves up in the day-time;
They know not the light.


book: Job
contenido:
For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness;
For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.


book: Job
contenido:
Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters;
Their portion is cursed in the earth:
They turn not into the way of the vineyards.


book: Job
contenido:
The womb shall forget him;
The worm shall feed sweetly on him;
He shall be no more remembered;
And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.


book: Job
contenido:
They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone;
Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others,
And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.


book: Job
contenido:
Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways:
And how small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?


book: Job
contenido:
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.


book: Job
contenido:
This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:


book: Job
contenido:
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.


book: Job
contenido:
He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers;
He openeth his eyes, and he is not.


book: Job
contenido:
Man setteth an end to darkness,
And searcheth out, to the furthest bound,
The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.


book: Job
contenido:
He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn;
They are forgotten of the foot;
They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.


book: Job
contenido:
And unto man he said,
Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.


book: Job
contenido:
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me;
And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.


book: Job
contenido:
I chose out their way, and sat as chief,
And dwelt as a king in the army,
As one that comforteth the mourners.


book: Job
contenido:
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,
Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.


book: Job
contenido:
They are gaunt with want and famine;
They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.


book: Job
contenido:
Upon my right hand rise the rabble;
They thrust aside my feet,
And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.


book: Job
contenido:
Terrors are turned upon me;
They chase mine honor as the wind;
And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.


book: Job
contenido:
Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride upon it;
And thou dissolvest me in the storm.


book: Job
contenido:
If my step hath turned out of the way,
And my heart walked after mine eyes,
And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:


book: Job
contenido:
(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);


book: Job
contenido:
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
For I should have denied the God that is above.


book: Job
contenido:
Because I feared the great multitude,
And the contempt of families terrified me,
So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—


book: Job
contenido:
Oh that I had one to hear me!
(Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me)
And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!


book: Job
contenido:
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,
Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:


book: Job
contenido:
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.


book: Job
contenido:
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.


book: Job
contenido:
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,
I am young, and ye are very old;
Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened for your reasonings,
Whilst ye searched out what to say.


book: Job
contenido:
Yea, I attended unto you,
And, behold, there was none that convinced Job,
Or that answered his words, among you.


book: Job
contenido:
Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person;
Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.


book: Job
contenido:
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart;
And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.


book: Job
contenido:
In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falleth upon men,
In slumberings upon the bed;


book: Job
contenido:
If there be with him an angel,
An interpreter, one among a thousand,
To show unto man what is right for him;


book: Job
contenido:
Then God is gracious unto him, and saith,
Deliver him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom.


book: Job
contenido:
He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him,
So that he seeth his face with joy:
And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.


book: Job
contenido:
He singeth before men, and saith,
I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
And it profited me not:


book: Job
contenido:
Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar;
My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.


book: Job
contenido:
Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:
Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,
And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.


book: Job
contenido:
That respecteth not the persons of princes,
Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor;
For they all are the work of his hands.


book: Job
contenido:
In a moment they die, even at midnight;
The people are shaken and pass away,
And the mighty are taken away without hand.


book: Job
contenido:
Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;
And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.


book: Job
contenido:
When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn?
And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:


book: Job
contenido:
Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it?
For thou must choose, and not I:
Therefore speak what thou knowest.


book: Job
contenido:
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin;
He clappeth his hands among us,
And multiplieth his words against God.


book: Job
contenido:
That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?
And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?


book: Job
contenido:
If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him?
And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?


book: Job
contenido:
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.


book: Job
contenido:
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,
And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?


book: Job
contenido:
How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,
The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!


book: Job
contenido:
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:
But with kings upon the throne
He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.


book: Job
contenido:
Then he showeth them their work,
And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.


book: Job
contenido:
If they hearken and serve him,
They shall spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.


book: Job
contenido:
Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress
Into a broad place, where there is no straitness;
And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.


book: Job
contenido:
For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;
Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.


book: Job
contenido:
After it a voice roareth;
He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;
And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.


book: Job
contenido:
For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;
Likewise to the shower of rain,
And to the showers of his mighty rain.


book: Job
contenido:
And it is turned round about by his guidance,
That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them
Upon the face of the habitable world,


book: Job
contenido:
Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them,
And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?


book: Job
contenido:
And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.


book: Job
contenido:
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
He is excellent in power;
And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.


book: Job
contenido:
Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee?
Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?


book: Job
contenido:
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof,
And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?


book: Job
contenido:
Who provideth for the raven his prey,
When his young ones cry unto God,
And wander for lack of food?


book: Job
contenido:
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?


book: Job
contenido:
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;
They go forth, and return not again.


book: Job
contenido:
Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed,
And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor?


book: Job
contenido:
She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers:
Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;


book: Job
contenido:
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage;
Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.


book: Job
contenido:
As oft as the trumpet soundeth he saith, Aha!
And he smelleth the battle afar off,
The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.


book: Job
contenido:
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not;
He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.


book: Job
contenido:
Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him?
Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.


book: Job
contenido:
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid:
By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.


book: Job
contenido:
Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge?
Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not,
Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.


book: Job
contenido:
And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.


book: Job
contenido:
Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.


book: Job
contenido:
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.


book: Job
contenido:
And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.


book: Job
contenido:
Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.


book: Job
contenido:
So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.


book: Job
contenido:
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.


book: Job
contenido:
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.


book: Job
contenido:
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.


book: Ps
contenido:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:


book: Ps
contenido:
And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.


book: Ps
contenido:
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.


book: Ps
contenido:
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,


book: Ps
contenido:
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.


book: Ps
contenido:
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,
For his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about.


book: Ps
contenido:
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.


book: Ps
contenido:
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.


book: Ps
contenido:
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?
How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? [Selah


book: Ps

But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly:
Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.


book: Ps
contenido:
Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?
Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.


book: Ps
contenido:
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.


book: Ps
contenido:
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.


book: Ps
contenido:
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Make thy way straight before my face.


book: Ps
contenido:
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is very wickedness;
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
They flatter with their tongue.


book: Ps
contenido:
Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice,
Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away:
O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.


book: Ps
contenido:
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:
They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.


book: Ps
contenido:
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me
(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)


book: Ps
contenido:
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,
And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;
Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,
And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:
Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.


book: Ps

I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.


book: Ps

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth,
Who hast set thy glory upon the heavens!


book: Ps
contenido:
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength,
Because of thine adversaries,
That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.


book: Ps
contenido:
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:


book: Ps
contenido:
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.


book: Ps
contenido:
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
And the cities which thou hast overthrown,
The very remembrance of them is perished.


book: Ps
contenido:
And he will judge the world in righteousness,
He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.


book: Ps
contenido:
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;
Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;


book: Ps
contenido:
That I may show forth all thy praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion
I will rejoice in thy salvation.


book: Ps
contenido:
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued;
Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.


book: Ps
contenido:
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,
And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.


book: Ps
contenido:
The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it.
All his thoughts are, There is no God.


book: Ps
contenido:
His ways are firm at all times;
Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:
As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.


book: Ps
contenido:
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages;
In the secret places doth he murder the innocent;
His eyes are privily set against the helpless.


book: Ps
contenido:
He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert;
He lieth in wait to catch the poor:
He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand:
The helpless committeth himself unto thee;
Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.


book: Ps
contenido:
Break thou the arm of the wicked;
And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek:
Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;


book: Ps
contenido:
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah is in his holy temple;
Jehovah, his throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.


book: Ps
contenido:
Upon the wicked he will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.


book: Ps
contenido:
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor:
With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.


book: Ps
contenido:
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy,
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah;
I will set him in the safety he panteth for.


book: Ps
contenido:
The words of Jehovah are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.


book: Ps
contenido:
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?


book: Ps
contenido:
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works;
There is none that doeth good.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did understand,
That did seek after God.


book: Ps
contenido:
They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy;
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.


book: Ps
contenido:
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And call not upon Jehovah?


book: Ps

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.


book: Ps
contenido:
He that slandereth not with his tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his friend,
Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;


book: Ps
contenido:
In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah;
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;


book: Ps
contenido:
He that putteth not out his money to interest,
Nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved.


book: Ps
contenido:
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god:
Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,
Nor take their names upon my lips.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou wilt show me the path of life:
In thy presence is fulness of joy;
In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.


book: Ps
contenido:
Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry;
Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing;
I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.


book: Ps
contenido:
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God:
Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.


book: Ps
contenido:
Show thy marvellous lovingkindness,
O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee
From those that rise up against them.


book: Ps
contenido:
From men by thy hand, O Jehovah,
From men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure:
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.


book: Ps
contenido:
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form.


book: Ps

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.


book: Ps
contenido:
In my distress I called upon Jehovah,
And cried unto my God:
He heard my voice out of his temple,
And my cry before him came into his ears.


book: Ps
contenido:
Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations also of the mountains quaked
And were shaken, because he was wroth.


book: Ps
contenido:
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered his voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.


book: Ps
contenido:
Then the channels of waters appeared,
And the foundations of the world were laid bare,
At thy rebuke, O Jehovah,
At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.


book: Ps

Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;
And thy right hand hath holden me up,
And thy gentleness hath made me great.


book: Ps
contenido:
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:
Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;
I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
Thou hast made me the head of the nations:
A people whom I have not known shall serve me.


book: Ps
contenido:
He rescueth me from mine enemies;
Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;
Thou deliverest me from the violent man.


book: Ps
contenido:
Their line is gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,


book: Ps

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.


book: Ps

His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
And his circuit unto the ends of it;

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.


book: Ps
contenido:
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever:
The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.


book: Ps
contenido:
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.


book: Ps
contenido:
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me:
Then shall I be upright,
And I shall be clear from great transgression.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight,
O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;
He will answer him from his holy heaven
With the saving strength of his right hand.

And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.


book: Ps

Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:
Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.


book: Ps

For thou wilt make them turn their back;
Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.


book: Ps
contenido:
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?


book: Ps
contenido:
But thou art he that took me out of the womb;
Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.


book: Ps
contenido:
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint:
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.


book: Ps
contenido:
My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.


book: Ps
contenido:
For dogs have compassed me:
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.


book: Ps
contenido:
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;
All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.


book: Ps
contenido:
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Neither hath he hid his face from him;
But when he cried unto him, he heard.


book: Ps

The meek shall eat and be satisfied;
They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:

Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness
Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.


book: Ps

Though a host should encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me,
Even then will I be confident.


book: Ps
contenido:
One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after:
That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in his temple.


book: Ps
contenido:
For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me;
He will lift me up upon a rock.

And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.


book: Ps

Hide not thy face from me;
Put not thy servant away in anger:
Thou hast been my help;
Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.


book: Ps
contenido:
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries:
For false witnesses are risen up against me,
And such as breathe out cruelty.


book: Ps
contenido:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call:
My rock, be not thou deaf unto me;
Lest, if thou be silent unto me,
I become like them that go down into the pit.


book: Ps
contenido:
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,
When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.


book: Ps
contenido:
Draw me not away with the wicked,
And with the workers of iniquity;
That speak peace with their neighbors,
But mischief is in their hearts.


book: Ps
contenido:
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings:
Give them after the operation of their hands;
Render to them their desert.


book: Ps
contenido:
Because they regard not the works of Jehovah,
Nor the operation of his hands,
He will break them down and not build them up.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah is my strength and my shield;
My heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped:
Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
And with my song will I praise him.


book: Ps
contenido:
The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters:
The God of glory thundereth,
Even Jehovah upon many waters.


book: Ps
contenido:
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve,
And strippeth the forests bare:
And in his temple everything saith, Glory.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up,
And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.


book: Ps
contenido:
O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;
Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.


book: Ps
contenido:
For his anger is but for a moment;
His favor is for a life-time:
Weeping may tarry for the night,
But joy cometh in the morning.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.


book: Ps
contenido:
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;
Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;


book: Ps
contenido:
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.


book: Ps
contenido:
In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge;
Let me never be put to shame:
Deliver me in thy righteousness.


book: Ps
contenido:
Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily:
Be thou to me a strong rock,
A house of defence to save me.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness;
For thou hast seen my affliction:
Thou hast known my soul in adversities;


book: Ps
contenido:
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:
Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.


book: Ps
contenido:
For my life is spent with sorrow,
And my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
And my bones are wasted away.


book: Ps
contenido:
Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,
Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to mine acquaintance:
They that did see me without fled from me.


book: Ps
contenido:
For I have heard the defaming of many,
Terror on every side:
While they took counsel together against me,
They devised to take away my life.


book: Ps
contenido:
My times are in thy hand:
Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh how great is thy goodness,
Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,
Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee,
Before the sons of men!


book: Ps
contenido:
In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man:
Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.


book: Ps
contenido:
As for me, I said in my haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications,
When I cried unto thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints:
Jehovah preserveth the faithful,
And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.


book: Ps
contenido:
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity did I not hide:
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah;
And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou art my hiding-place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble;
Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding;
Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in,
Else they will not come near unto thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought;
He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.


book: Ps
contenido:
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;
But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.


book: Ps
contenido:
The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;
And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.


book: Ps
contenido:
Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me:
Fight thou against them that fight against me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me:
Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul:
Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.


book: Ps
contenido:
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit;
Without cause have they digged a pit for my soul.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let destruction come upon him unawares;
And let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
With destruction let him fall therein.


book: Ps
contenido:
All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee,
Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,
Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?


book: Ps
contenido:
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
I afflicted my soul with fasting;
And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.


book: Ps
contenido:
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother:
I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.


book: Ps
contenido:
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:
The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not;
They did tear me, and ceased not:


book: Ps
contenido:
Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
Rescue my soul from their destructions,
My darling from the lions.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;
Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it:
Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt:
Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause:
Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified,
Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.


book: Ps
contenido:
He deviseth iniquity upon his bed;
He setteth himself in a way that is not good;
He abhorreth not evil.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Thy judgments are a great deep:
O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.


book: Ps
contenido:
How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.


book: Ps
contenido:
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house;
And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee,
And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.


book: Ps
contenido:
Fret not thyself because of evil-doers,
Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.


book: Ps
contenido:
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him:
Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


book: Ps
contenido:
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.


book: Ps
contenido:
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay such as are upright in the way.


book: Ps
contenido:
They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil;
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.


book: Ps
contenido:
But the wicked shall perish,
And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs:
They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.


book: Ps
contenido:
For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land;
And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.


book: Ps
contenido:
I have been young, and now am old;
Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his seed begging bread.


book: Ps
contenido:
For Jehovah loveth justice,
And forsaketh not his saints;
They are preserved for ever:
But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.


book: Ps
contenido:
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,
And he will exalt thee to inherit the land:
When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.


book: Ps
contenido:
And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them:
He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them,
Because they have taken refuge in him.


book: Ps
contenido:
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation;
Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.


book: Ps
contenido:
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;
And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
And meditate deceits all the day long.


book: Ps
contenido:
They also that render evil for good
Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.


book: Ps
contenido:
I said, I will take heed to my ways,
That I sin not with my tongue:
I will keep my mouth with a bridle,
While the wicked is before me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah, make me to know mine end,
And the measure of my days, what it is;
Let me know how frail I am.


book: Ps
contenido:
Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths;
And my life-time is as nothing before thee:
Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
Surely every man walketh in a vain show;
Surely they are disquieted in vain:
He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.


book: Ps
contenido:
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity,
Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:
Surely every man is vanity. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry;
Hold not thy peace at my tears:
For I am a stranger with thee,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were.


book: Ps
contenido:
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;
And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.


book: Ps
contenido:
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
Many shall see it, and fear,
And shall trust in Jehovah.


book: Ps
contenido:
Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,
And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.


book: Ps
contenido:
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,
And thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
They cannot be set in order unto thee;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.


book: Ps
contenido:
Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;
Mine ears hast thou opened:
Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.


book: Ps
contenido:
I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;
Lo, I will not refrain my lips,
O Jehovah, thou knowest.


book: Ps
contenido:
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation;
I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great assembly.


book: Ps
contenido:
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;
Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.


book: Ps
contenido:
For innumerable evils have compassed me about;
Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
And my heart hath failed me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them be put to shame and confounded together
That seek after my soul to destroy it:
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
That delight in my hurt.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
Let such as love thy salvation say continually,
Jehovah be magnified.


book: Ps
contenido:
But I am poor and needy;
Yet the Lord thinketh upon me:
Thou art my help and my deliverer;
Make no tarrying, O my God.


book: Ps
contenido:
Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,
And he shall be blessed upon the earth;
And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.


book: Ps
contenido:
And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood;
His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:
When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.


book: Ps
contenido:
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
Who did eat of my bread,
Hath lifted up his heel against me.


book: Ps
contenido:
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.


book: Ps
contenido:
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
And why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him
For the help of his countenance.


book: Ps
contenido:
O my God, my soul is cast down within me:
Therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan,
And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.


book: Ps
contenido:
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:
All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Yet Jehovah will command his lovingkindness in the day-time;
And in the night his song shall be with me,
Even a prayer unto the God of my life.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?


book: Ps
contenido:
As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,
While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?


book: Ps
contenido:
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
And why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him,
Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.


book: Ps
contenido:
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:
Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.


book: Ps
contenido:
For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:
Let them bring me unto thy holy hill,
And to thy tabernacles.


book: Ps
contenido:
Then will I go unto the altar of God,
Unto God my exceeding joy;
And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God.


book: Ps
contenido:
We have heard with our ears, O God,
Our fathers have told us,
What work thou didst in their days,
In the days of old.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand;
But them thou didst plant:
Thou didst afflict the peoples;
But them thou didst spread abroad.


book: Ps
contenido:
For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword,
Neither did their own arm save them;
But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,
Because thou wast favorable unto them.


book: Ps
contenido:
Through thee will we push down our adversaries:
Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.


book: Ps
contenido:
In God have we made our boast all the day long,
And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.


book: Ps
contenido:
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.


book: Ps
contenido:
My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;
I speak the things which I have made touching the king:
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou art fairer than the children of men;
Grace is poured into thy lips:
Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.


book: Ps
contenido:
And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

contenido:
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:

With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and  cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.


book: Ps

Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:
At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.


book: Ps
contenido:
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:


book: Ps
contenido:
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;
The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.


book: Ps

She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:
The virgins her companions that follow her
Shall be brought unto thee.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof. [Selah

The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

The princes of the peoples are gathered together
To be the people of the God of Abraham;

Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.

As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God:

But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,
And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;
And to him that ordereth his way aright

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it:
Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.


book: Ps
contenido:
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.


book: Ps

Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering:
Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?
The lovingkindness of God endureth continually.

contenido:
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee:
I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.


book: Ps
contenido:
Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked;
For they cast iniquity upon me,
And in anger they persecute me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.


book: Ps
contenido:
For it was not an enemy that reproached me;
Then I could have borne it:
Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me;
Then I would have hid myself from him:

Let death come suddenly upon them,
Let them go down alive into Sheol;
For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

God will hear, and answer them,
Even he that abideth of old, [Selah
The men who have no changes,

What can flesh do unto me?


book: Ps

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
They mark my steps,
Even as they have waited for my soul.

That I may walk before God
In the light of the living?

For my soul taketh refuge in thee:
Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge,
Until these calamities be overpast.


book: Ps

He will send from heaven, and save me,
When he that would swallow me up reproacheth; [Selah
God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.


book: Ps

My soul is among lions;
I lie among them that are set on fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down:
They have digged a pit before me;

Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Arise to visit all the nations:
Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. [Selah

Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more:
And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob,
Unto the ends of the earth. [Selah

Yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning:

book: Ps
contenido:
How long will ye set upon a man,
That ye may slay him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?


book: Ps
contenido:
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;
They delight in lies;
They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. [Selah


book: Ps

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:
In the balances they will go up;
They are together lighter than vanity.


book: Ps

Trust not in oppression,
And become not vain in robbery:
If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness;
For thou renderest to every man according to his work.

book: Ps
contenido:
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;


book: Ps
contenido:
But the king shall rejoice in God:
Every one that sweareth by him shall glory;

book: Ps
contenido:
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose;
They commune of laying snares privily;
They say, Who will see them?


book: Ps

They search out iniquities;
We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search:

contenido:
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them:
All that see them shall wag the head.

Oh God of our salvation,
Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Thou settlest the ridges thereof:
Thou makest it soft with showers;

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people,
When thou didst march through the wilderness; [Selah

The earth trembled,
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God:
Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.


book: Ps
contenido:
When ye lie among the sheepfolds,
It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And her pinions with yellow gold.


book: Ps
contenido:
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains,
At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode?
Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever.


book: Ps

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands:
The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives;
Thou hast received gifts among men,
Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.

But God will smite through the head of his enemies,
The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.


book: Ps
contenido:
That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood,
That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine  enemies.


book: Ps
contenido:
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after,
In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.


book: Ps
contenido:
There is little Benjamin their ruler,
The princes of Judah and their council,
The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.


book: Ps
contenido:
Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds,
The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples,
Trampling under foot the pieces of silver:
He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.


book: Ps

To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old;
Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

book: Ps
contenido:
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:
I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.


book: Ps

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:
They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
That which I took not away I have to restore.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:
Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.


book: Ps

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;
And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.


book: Ps

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time:
O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness,
Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.


book: Ps

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink:
Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.


book: Ps

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me,
Neither let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good:
According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.


book: Ps
contenido:
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:
And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found none.


book: Ps
contenido:
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;
And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.


book: Ps
contenido:
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah;
And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them be put to shame and confounded
That seek after my soul:
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
That delight in my hurt.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;
And let such as love thy salvation say continually,
Let God be magnified.


book: Ps
contenido:
But I am poor and needy;
Make haste unto me, O God:
Thou art my help and my deliverer;
O Jehovah, make no tarrying.


book: Ps
contenido:
Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:
Thou hast given commandment to save me;

book: Ps
contenido:
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.


book: Ps
contenido:
By thee have I been holden up from the womb;
Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels:
My praise shall be continually of thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.


book: Ps
contenido:
My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,
And of thy salvation all the day;
For I know not the numbers thereof.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.


book: Ps
contenido:
Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,
Until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation,
Thy might to every one that is to come.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;
Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,
Wilt quicken us again,
And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will also praise thee with the psaltery,
Even thy truth, O my God:
Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp,
O thou Holy One of Israel.


book: Ps
contenido:
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;
For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.


book: Ps
contenido:
He will judge the poor of the people,
He will save the children of the needy,
And will break in pieces the oppressor.


book: Ps

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute:
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.


book: Ps
contenido:
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence;
And precious will their blood be in his sight:


book: Ps
contenido:
And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:
And men shall pray for him continually;
They shall bless him all the day long.


book: Ps
contenido:
There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains;
The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.


book: Ps
contenido:
His name shall endure for ever;
His name shall be continued as long as the sun:
And men shall be blessed in him;
All nations shall call him happy.


book: Ps
contenido:
And blessed be his glorious name for ever;
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen, and Amen.


book: Ps
contenido:
If I had said, I will speak thus;
Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.


book: Ps
contenido:
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:
Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing  from thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
But it is good for me to draw near unto God:
I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge,
That I may tell of all thy works.


book: Ps
contenido:
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?
Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?


book: Ps
contenido:
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old,
Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance;
And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly;
They have set up their ensigns for signs.


book: Ps
contenido:
They have set thy sanctuary on fire;
They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it  to the ground.


book: Ps
contenido:
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether:
They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.


book: Ps
contenido:
We see not our signs:
There is no more any prophet;
Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:
Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces;
Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.


book: Ps
contenido:
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah,
And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast:
Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.


book: Ps
contenido:
Have respect unto the covenant;
For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.


book: Ps
contenido:
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries:
The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.


book: Ps
contenido:
We give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, for thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.


book: Ps
contenido:
For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth;
It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.


book: Ps
contenido:
The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.


book: Ps

Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:
Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.


book: Ps
contenido:
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not;
My soul refused to be comforted.


book: Ps
contenido:
I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart;
And my spirit maketh diligent search.


book: Ps
contenido:
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lightened the world:
The earth trembled and shook.


book: Ps
contenido:
We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah,
And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.


book: Ps
contenido:
For he established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which he commanded our fathers,
That they should make them known to their children;


book: Ps
contenido:
That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born;
Who should arise and tell them to their children,


book: Ps
contenido:
And might not be as their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that set not their heart aright,
And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.


book: Ps
contenido:
Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out,
And streams overflowed;
Can he give bread also?
Will he provide flesh for his people?


book: Ps
contenido:
Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also went up against Israel;


book: Ps
contenido:
When the anger of God went up against them,
And slew of the fattest of them,
And smote down the young men of Israel.


book: Ps
contenido:
But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not:
Yea, many a time turned he his anger away,
And did not stir up all his wrath.


book: Ps
contenido:
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,
Wrath, and indignation, and trouble,
A band of angels of evil.


book: Ps
contenido:
He made a path for his anger;
He spared not their soul from death,
But gave their life over to the pestilence,


book: Ps
contenido:
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.


book: Ps
contenido:
He drove out the nations also before them,
And allotted them for an inheritance by line,
And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.


book: Ps
contenido:
But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers:
They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.


book: Ps
contenido:
For they provoked him to anger with their high places,
And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.


book: Ps
contenido:
From following the ewes that have their young he brought him,
To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.


book: Ps
contenido:
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.


book: Ps
contenido:
O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance;
Thy holy temple have they defiled;
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.


book: Ps
contenido:
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.


book: Ps
contenido:
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,
And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.


book: Ps
contenido:
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers:
Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us;
For we are brought very low.


book: Ps
contenido:
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name;
And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name’s sake.


book: Ps
contenido:
Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God?
Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed
Be known among the nations in our sight.


book: Ps
contenido:
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee:
According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;


book: Ps
contenido:
And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom
Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.


book: Ps
contenido:
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture
Will give thee thanks for ever:
We will show forth thy praise to all generations.


book: Ps
contenido:
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.


book: Ps
contenido:
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:
Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,


book: Ps
contenido:
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.


book: Ps

When he went out over the land of Egypt,
Where I heard a language that I knew not.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee;
I answered thee in the secret place of thunder;
I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. [Selah


book: Ps
contenido:
I am Jehovah thy God,
Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt:
Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.


book: Ps
contenido:
He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat;
And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
They know not, neither do they understand;
They walk to and fro in darkness:
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.


book: Ps
contenido:
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.


book: Ps
contenido:
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah;
My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.


book: Ps
contenido:
Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts,
My King, and my God.


book: Ps
contenido:
Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs;
Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.


book: Ps
contenido:
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.


book: Ps
contenido:
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:
Jehovah will give grace and glory;
No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will hear what God Jehovah will speak;
For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
But let them not turn again to folly.


book: Ps
contenido:
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.


book: Ps

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;
Neither are there any works like unto thy works.


book: Ps
contenido:
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
And they shall glorify thy name.


book: Ps
contenido:
O God, the proud are risen up against me,
And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,
And have not set thee before them.


book: Ps
contenido:
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.


book: Ps
contenido:
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant,
And save the son of thy handmaid.


book: Ps
contenido:
Show me a token for good,
That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:
Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
This one was born there.


book: Ps
contenido:
Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her;
And the Most High himself will establish her.


book: Ps
contenido:
Cast off among the dead,
Like the slain that lie in the grave,
Whom thou rememberest no more,
And they are cut off from thy hand.


book: Ps
contenido:
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me;
Thou hast made me an abomination unto them:
I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.


book: Ps
contenido:
Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction:
I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah;
I have spread forth my hands unto thee.


book: Ps
contenido:
I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever:
With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.


book: Ps

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever;
Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.


book: Ps
contenido:
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah;
Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.


book: Ps
contenido:
For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,


book: Ps
contenido:
A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones,
And to be feared above all them that are round about him?


book: Ps
contenido:
O Jehovah God of hosts,
Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah?
And thy faithfulness is round about thee.


book: Ps

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:
The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.


book: Ps

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne:
Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:
They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.


book: Ps

Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints,
And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty;

But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him;
And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

What man is he that shall live and not see death,
That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah


book: Ps

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah,
Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.


book: Ps

Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.


book: Ps

For a thousand years in thy sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past,
And as a watch in the night.

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.


book: Ps

The days of our years are threescore years and ten,
Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
And the years wherein we have seen evil.
