To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1
 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until
these
calamities be overpast.
2
 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth
all things
for me.
3
 He shall send from heaven, and save me
from
the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4
 My soul
is
among lions:
and
I lie
even among
them that are set on fire,
even
the sons of men, whose teeth
are
spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5
 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let
thy glory
be
above all the earth.
6
 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves.
Selah.
7
 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8
 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself
will awake early.
9
 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10
 For thy mercy
is
great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11
 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
let
thy glory
be
above all the earth.
9
 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10
 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11
 For their redeemer
is
mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
1
 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste,
and
brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste,
and
brought to silence;
2
 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads
shall be
baldness,
and
every beard cut off.
3
 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4
 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard
even
unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
5
 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives
shall flee
unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6
 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7
 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8
 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9
 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
16:
1
 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2
 For it shall be,
that,
as a wandering bird cast out of the nest,
so
the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3
 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
4
 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
5
 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6
 We have heard of the pride of Moab;
he is
very proud:
even
of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath:
but
his lies
shall
not
be
so.
7
 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely
they are
stricken.
8
 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and
the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come
even
unto Jazer, they wandered
through
the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9
 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.
10
 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in
their
presses; I have made
their vintage
shouting to cease.
11
 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh.
12
 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.
13
 This
is
the word that the L
ORD
hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
14
 But now the L
ORD
hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant
shall be
very small
and
feeble.
17:
1
 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from
being
a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2
 The cities of Aroer
are
forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make
them
afraid.
3
 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the L
ORD
of hosts.
4
 And in that day it shall come to pass,
that
the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5
 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6
 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two
or
three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four
or
five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the L
ORD
God of Israel.
7
 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8
 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect
that
which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9
 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10
 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11
 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish:
but
the harvest
shall be
a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12
 Woe to the multitude of many people,
which
make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,
that
make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13
 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but
God
shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14
 And behold at eveningtide trouble;
and
before the morning he
is
not. This
is
the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
18:
1
 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which
is
beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2
 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters,
saying,
Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3
 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
4
 For so the L
ORD
said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs,
and
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5
 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away
and
cut down the branches.
6
 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7
 In that time shall the present be brought unto the L
ORD
of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the L
ORD
of hosts, the mount Zion.
1
 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2
 and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3
 grace
be
to you and peace from God the Father, and
from
our Lord Jesus Christ,
4
 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5
 to whom
be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6
 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7
 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8
 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9
 As we said before, so say I now again, If any
man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10
 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11
 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12
 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
it,
but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13
 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14
 and profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15
 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called
me
by his grace,
16
 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17
 neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18
 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19
 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20
 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21
 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22
 and was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23
 but they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
24
 And they glorified God in me.
