To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1
 Help, L
ORD
the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2
 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with
flattering lips
and
with a double heart do they speak.
3
 The L
ORD
shall cut off all flattering lips,
and
the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4
 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
are
our own: who
is
L
ORD
over us?
5
 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the L
ORD
; I will set
him
in safety
from him that
puffeth at him.
6
 The words of the L
ORD
are
pure words:
as
silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7
 Thou shalt keep them, O L
ORD
, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8
 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
13
 A foolish son
is
the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife
are
a continual dropping.
14
 House and riches
are
the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife
is
from the L
ORD
.
1
 Now
these are
the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2
 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3
 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4
 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and
thus
were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar
there were
sixteen chief men of the house of
their
fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5
 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors
of the house
of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6
 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe,
one
of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and
before
the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and
one
taken for Ithamar.
7
 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8
 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9
 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10
 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11
 the ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12
 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13
 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14
 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15
 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
16
 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17
 the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18
 the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19
 These
were
the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the L
ORD
, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the L
ORD
God of Israel had commanded him.
20
 And the rest of the sons of Levi
were these:
Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
21
 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first
was
Isshiah.
22
 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
23
 And the sons
of Hebron;
Jeriah
the first,
Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24
Â
Of
the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
25
 The brother of Michah
was
Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
26
 The sons of Merari
were
Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27
 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28
 Of Mahli
came
Eleazar, who had no sons.
29
 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish
was
Jerahmeel.
30
 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
were
the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
31
 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
25:
1
 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
2
 of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
3
 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the L
ORD
.
4
 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir,
and
Mahazioth:
5
 all these
were
the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6
 All these
were
under the hands of their father for song
in
the house of the L
ORD
, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7
 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the L
ORD
,
even
all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8
 And they cast lots, ward against
ward,
as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
9

26:
1
 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites
was
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2
 And the sons of Meshelemiah
were,
Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3
 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
4
 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom
were,
Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
5
 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
6
 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they
were
mighty men of valour.
7
 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren
were
strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
8
 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service,
were
threescore and two of Obed-edom.
9
 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10
 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for
though
he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
11
 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah
were
thirteen.
1
 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2
 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath
whereof
to glory; but not before God.
3
 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4
 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5
 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6
 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7
Â
saying,
Blessed
are
they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8
 Blessed
is
the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9
Â
Cometh
this blessedness then upon the circumcision
only,
or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10
 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11
 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which
he had yet
being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12
 and the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which
he had
being
yet
uncircumcised.
